Roger New Life

The Marvel Zombie Universe is essentially beyond saving, so Sharon and the others plan to seek refuge in another world, which is understandable. However, Roger thinks of more than that. If he can somehow transport these people to his world through the crossing point, he would gain quite a few allies.

Whether it's Spider-Man, the Winter Soldier, or even Bruce Banner, who can transform into the Hulk, these are formidable characters who should be able to crush Vought International easily. In that case, Vought, the company that has been troubling Roger in The Boys' universe, would no longer be a difficult issue to deal with.

Yet, Roger hesitates. He's not sure if his crossing point can bring others with him, nor is he sure if this world's methods of recharging would work for his crossing point. Nevertheless, Roger decides to give it a try.

"My method of crossing... you can think of it as one of my abilities, so if recharging is necessary, it should be a matter of recharging me. Can you manage that?"

Roger uses this excuse to explain his crossing ability, and it's not entirely inaccurate. Since the crossing point is bound to his body, it could indeed be considered one of his abilities.

When Peter Parker hears Roger's explanation, his eyes light up as he says, "So, you can travel across different times and places at will to save worlds? That's so cool!"

"No… it's not really about saving worlds... but never mind, whatever."

Seeing Peter so excited, Roger considers explaining that it's not as simple as Peter thinks, but the young Spider-Man's enthusiasm makes him hold back. Better to let the kid have his fantasies.

"Recharging yourself...?"

Sharon falls into deep thought. Recharging a human body is not something the Avengers' base has ever tried before, but with all the equipment Tony Stark left behind, there might just be something that could recharge a person.

With this in mind, Sharon says to Roger, "I think we could give it a shot..."

However, before Sharon can finish her sentence, Okoye, the Captain of the Wakandan Royal Guard, walks over with a spear in hand and says, "Everyone, we've just received a message. Do you want to come take a look?"

...

The message Okoye received is from a survivor camp in New Jersey, claiming to have made a breakthrough in how to turn zombies back into humans.

If the message from this survivor camp is true, then there might still be hope for Earth. According to Sharon's description, the survivor camp is located at a S.H.I.E.L.D. sub-base, so the group prepares to go there and look for a serum that can reverse the zombie virus.

However, just before they set out, Sharon raises an objection, saying, "I don't think we should put all our hopes in one place. I've talked with Roger, and he can cross dimensions because of his ability. Now, his ability needs recharging. I think we should first find a way to recharge him."

As soon as Sharon finishes speaking, Happy interrupts, asking, "Wait, are you saying you want to escape to another world? Completely abandon this one?"

Sharon looks at Happy and says, "I'm not saying I want to abandon this world... but this world is beyond saving."

Sharon doesn't want to give up on this world either, but compared to a possibly nonexistent serum, seeking temporary refuge in another world and then finding a way to turn zombies back into humans seems much more practical and reasonable.

Happy continues to argue, "But didn't that survivor camp say they have a way to cure zombies?"

"But don't you think the appearance of this survivor camp is a bit too coincidental?"

In contrast to the original plot, Sharon questions the legitimacy of the survivor camp. She finds the timing of its appearance too convenient. Banner and Roger had just arrived less than two hours ago, and suddenly there's news of a cure for zombies.

It's not that Sharon doesn't believe in the existence of a serum, but she also can't rule out the possibility that someone might be maliciously spreading false information to lure people in. Moreover, Sharon feels that recharging Roger's ability and escaping to another world is a more reliable plan.

The Avengers are divided on the issue, and at this moment, Banner steps in and says, "Alright, everyone, now is not the time to argue. We're all here, so why not split into two teams?"

He then looks at Sharon and says, "You and this Superman guy can go look for a way to recharge his ability. The rest of us can go to the survivor camp to find a cure for the zombie virus. This way, we solve everything perfectly without the need for arguments."

Spider-Man asks, "You mean split up? Dr. Banner, I don't think that's a good idea."

Roger also speaks up at this point, "I don't think splitting up is a good idea either."

"Roger?"

Sharon looks at Roger in surprise. She thought she had read him right; despite Roger claiming to be a superhero, after learning about this world's situation, he clearly wanted to leave, even if he hadn't explicitly stated it.

It was precisely because Sharon believed Roger wanted to leave that she thought he would side with her, but now it seems that's not the case.

Roger looks at Sharon and says, "Miss Carter, I know you want to preserve the last remnants of humanity, but things aren't as simple as you think. I haven't even figured out my own crossing ability, so it's possible that natural recharging is the only way to do it.

"If that's the case, then splitting up would be the worst choice."

Roger actually does want to leave this world, but he also understands that the more dire the situation, the more important it is to stick together. According to the original storyline, only two people and a severed head survived in the end, which was a significant loss.

And these survivors, unaware, will take the Mind Stone directly to Thanos, walking right into his trap.

If Roger's ability cannot be recharged by other means, and this group delivers the Mind Stone to Thanos, then Roger's fate will be sealed prematurely.

So, Roger doesn't dare to take any chances. He must ensure these people survive, and preferably Vision as well. Only then does this world have a chance.

"I support Roger's idea," says Spider-Man, raising his hand. "In horror movies, splitting up is always the worst move, so whether we're going to the survivor camp or trying to recharge at the Avengers base, we should stick together. That's the only way to ensure everyone survives."

Roger gives Spider-Man an approving look and continues, "Peter is right. We can't make the same mistakes horror movie protagonists make."

Sharon opens her mouth, seemingly wanting to say something, but in the end, she remains silent.

Seeing everyone calm down, Okoye asks, "So, it's settled?"

Sharon nods, saying, "Yes, let's do it their way."

With everyone standing firm, Sharon has no choice but to go along with the group.

Of course, there's another reason why she stays quiet.

The coordinates from the message point to the Camp Lehigh base, which is also one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s facilities.

Maybe there they can find a way to recharge Roger, so the two objectives might not be mutually exclusive.

"Then we'll head out at sunset. Does anyone have any more questions?"

Seeing that the arguing has ceased, Okoye looks around and finally makes a decision.

Roger raises his hand and asks, "I have a question. So... why are we waiting until sunset? Can't we... leave right now?"
