"Huh? Not the only one?"
Not only was Luca surprised by Tony's conclusion, but even Gwen, who was still clinging to the ceiling, flipped down.
All she could think about was, Could it be that all my Spider-Man partners who fought Kingpin together have come to this world?
"So, what exactly are you investigating?"
However, facing Luca's question, Tony shook his head slightly.
"This is not something a kid like you needs to care about."
However, just as he spoke, Dr. Banner, who was fiddling with the mechanical spider leg, complained simultaneously.
"Isn't it that bastard Loki playing tricks behind the scenes!"
As soon as these words came out, the scene fell into an eerie silence.
Tony Stark looked at Dr. Banner with a dull gaze, as if saying:
You leaky mouth! Is this news you can just tell anyone?!
Dr. Banner looked at Tony with an expression of both embarrassment and innocence, blinking continuously.
Wait, didn't you call him over just to involve him?
Tony blinked back: I fcking called him over because of this visitor from another world, and to protect this kid by the way!
Thor: Are your eyes dry?
Watching the few people blinking continuously, Luca, who was observing quietly from the side, was speechless.
Say these people lack tacit understanding?
They seem to be able to communicate barrier-free just by eye contact.
But say they have tacit understanding?
Even on the basic issue of whether to inform him and let him participate in such an important matter, they couldn't reach a consensus...
Seeing these people blinking like they were sending Morse code, Luca finally broke the silence first and said proactively.
"This matter has nothing to do with age now. Since I've been dragged into it, regardless of whether I participate later, there is great danger."
"Instead of hiding it, you might as well tell me some useful news so I can avoid subsequent risks."
Hearing this, Thor, who hadn't been able to join the chat channel, spoke decisively and pointed at Luca.
"The kid makes sense."
Saying this, he gave Luca a thumbs up.
Honestly, Thor's officially certified perfect appearance beyond human aesthetics looked quite convincing up close.
However, paired with his somewhat goofy expression, it instantly lost much of its persuasiveness.
But after pondering for a moment, Tony finally gave up the struggle. Picking some things he could say, he briefly explained the current situation to Luca.
As mentioned before, since the end of the Battle of New York, S.H.I.E.L.D. had been tracking the whereabouts of the escaped Loki.
However, the method S.H.I.E.L.D. chose at the time was relying on the gamma energy fluctuation detection program designed by Tony and Banner before the Battle of New York, combined with a large number of satellites and signal towers for carpet searching.
Initially, this method was useful, allowing them to catch Loki's tail twice consecutively.
But he escaped successfully relying on illusions and cunning.
After that, S.H.I.E.L.D. couldn't detect any fluctuations.
This made Nick Fury suspect at one point whether Loki had teleported away from Earth using the Tesseract.
However, when Bruce Banner sought Tony's help again...
After the two geniuses joined forces to improve the tracking program...
They discovered immediately.
During this period, a completely new signal generated by spatial fluctuations suddenly appeared all over the world.
Moreover, the appearance of these fluctuations had no pattern.
It was as if a naughty child with spatial divine power was poking randomly with fingers from outside the world.
This discovery immediately made the two realize that things might be going south.
However, before the two could inform S.H.I.E.L.D. of this news, Luca called.
This was why Tony called them over in such a hurry after hearing about the "visitor from another world."
Hearing this, Luca immediately felt a headache.
What is this? Global invasion? Fck, might as well be Hydra causing trouble?
Wait, that guy playing with exploding eyes was definitely from Hydra, right?
Luca, whose mind was a mess at the moment, began to regret getting involved here.
Originally, he wanted to brush up his presence in front of these superheroes so that even if Hydra really exploded and his family was entangled with them...
At least with a certain foundation of goodwill, he wouldn't be implicated too deeply.
Now it seems, with his fragile body, gaining favor isn't easy.
"So, according to you, the world is now full of otherworld invaders like Gwen?"
"I'm not invading. I just want to return to my original world now," Gwen muttered in a low voice beside him.
However, Luca had no time to mind his wording at the moment, staring straight at the speaking Tony Stark.
Fortunately, Tony gave a negative answer.
"Not really. Although we haven't found the pattern of these fluctuations yet, at least we can be sure it doesn't exist specifically to summon visitors from other worlds."
"Besides people, it could be animals or items. But more spatial fluctuations are just pure fluctuations and won't bring anything."
At this time, Dr. Banner beside them spoke very inopportunely.
"It could also be viruses."
Seeing everyone looking at him, Dr. Banner shrugged innocently.
"You know, no one can guarantee that people from parallel timelines carry exactly the same viruses we've experienced. If there aren't antibodies evolved over hundreds of years, a common flu virus from another world might wipe out our world."
Hearing this, the others shuddered subconsciously.
Shamila carefully stepped back a few steps from Gwen, and even wanted to pull her young master lightly.
But Luca, who was closest to Gwen, didn't show any panic.
Why not afraid?
Marvel screenwriters probably didn't have this brain. Aliens and otherworlders came and went so many times, and no one heard of anyone bringing viruses due to physical differences.
Of course, that was just a thought.
Gwen being fine didn't mean other visitors from other worlds weren't dangerous.
If a guy from the Zombie Universe accidentally fell out of a spatial fluctuation, this world would probably be finished in minutes.
After skipping this topic for now, Tony Stark looked at Luca again and continued.
"Although there is no pattern to the spatial fluctuations, according to our detection, the fluctuations in New York are exceptionally frequent."
"Moreover, the core location among them is exactly the experimental base left by Kingpin you mentioned."
