In Jacksonville, at Central Square.
The area was now covered in yellow sand, so much so that just cleaning it up would likely be enough for the municipal department to profit handsomely.
However, none of this concerned the Avengers members.
Natasha, the 'Hulk switch,' was currently comforting the car-smashing Hulk nearby.
Hawkeye, who had been missing until now, was with Captain America, escorting the mastermind behind all this, Sandman, waiting for the S.H.I.E.L.D. plane to pick him up and detain him.
Luca, controlling the Husky Armor, curiously took two steps forward and looked at the handcuffs on Sandman's hands.
"Is this thing really useful? He can turn into sand; wouldn't cutting off a hand be as easy as playing?"
As he spoke, Luca gestured twice at Sandman's wrist, causing Sandman, whose shoulders were held by Captain America and Hawkeye, to instinctively shrink back.
"These are power-limiting handcuffs, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s latest research, effective against most super-powered individuals," Captain America explained.
Since Luca rarely participated in the Avengers' 'group activities,' they hadn't actually met many times.
However, in Steve's heart, 'Metal Knight,' who had repeatedly participated in striking down criminals and saving the public, was also a superhero with a sense of justice, and he naturally didn't hesitate to explain these things to him.
At this moment, Gwen skipped forward two steps, speaking with a tone of wanting credit.
"I also participated in the research for the power-limiting handcuffs~"
Hearing this, Luca's mouth twitched. He turned to look at the smiling Gwen and ruthlessly retorted,
"You're a powered individual; did you participate in the development of something like this to be a product experience officer?"
Gwen wrinkled her nose slightly and let out a soft snort.
"What do you mean? I'm a genius, okay? Besides, with so many strange powered individuals invading now, we need some means to prevent them from causing more trouble, right?"
"..."
As soon as Gwen spoke, Luca's mouth twitched even more violently.
'My dear lady, have you forgotten that you are also an otherworldly invader?'
"If you ask me, there's no need for such trouble. For powered individuals like Sandman, just put him in a water tank, and he'll be guaranteed not to escape~"
In fact, Luca wanted to say to directly use the Dehydration Gun to turn all these people into blocks.
Not only would no one cause trouble or escape, but they could also achieve eternal life in a way, and perhaps these people would even thank him.
However, even though Luca forcibly changed 'dehydration' to 'hydration,' his proposed solution still drew sidelong glances from all the other Avengers.
Even Dr. Banner, who had just returned to human form, subconsciously widened his mouth, a look of disbelief on his face.
Tony even directly placed his large hand on the head of the Erha Mecha and rubbed it vigorously.
"Brat, save these wild ideas for your little inventions."
However, it was precisely because of this playful banter that the tense atmosphere from the recent major battle immediately eased significantly.
Seeing the S.H.I.E.L.D. Quinjet arrive, Tony proactively asked Luca,
"We're planning a small get-together later, a relaxation after being busy for a while. How about it? Do you want to join us, kid?"
Tony was naturally not asking the Husky Armor in front of him, but Luca behind it.
Through their interactions over this period, Luca was considered half an Avengers member.
Furthermore, due to his company, Luca himself was a public figure of no small stature, and Tony felt that he might no longer be so resistant to revealing his true identity.
However, upon hearing Tony's words, Luca pretended not to understand.
He just controlled the Erha Mecha to look at his body in confusion, speaking in a strange tone.
"Me, like this? And just watch you all eat and drink? That wouldn't be very good, would it?"
Hearing Luca's words, Tony understood his meaning and immediately stopped persuading him. He simply patted the Erha Mecha's shoulder lightly and turned to board the Quinjet.
In reality, Luca was not averse to revealing his true identity at this moment.
On one hand, because of the HYDRA matter, Luca felt a bit guilty about voluntarily meeting top Agents like Natasha and wanted to maintain an appropriate distance.
On the other hand, Luca was not just controlling the 'Erha Mecha' at this time.
Sending the 'Erha Mecha' to help here was merely a spur-of-the-moment decision.
In fact, at the same time the Erha Mecha was dispatched, in the Orange Family family's garage, three other mechas of different colors simultaneously took to the sky, even flying to Florida.
However, it was not Jacksonville, but the neighboring city of Miami.
"Three Haro, four haro are in position."
"Ta-da! Five Haro is in position!"
At this moment, above a relatively secluded Villa estate in Miami.
Red and white, blue and white, and green and white Haro Mechas were arranged in a triangular formation, stably suspended in the air.
And in his own Villa laboratory, after hearing Hakimi's report, Luca gave the Erha the command to return automatically, then directly switched the screen to the '345' side.
"Hmmph~ Quite luxurious. A filming Base for an actor is actually more luxurious than my house?"
Hakimi: "Sir, according to property and tax bureau data, this estate does not belong to Vanguard Technology. They only signed a ten-year lease agreement."
"Uh~ Alright, I hope the original owner of the estate won't ask me for compensation if I break this place~"
After the banter, Luca's expression became serious again, and he directly ordered,
"Haros, activate thermal imaging scan!"
The next moment, this rather large European-style estate was immediately displayed in projection form before Luca.
And similarly, the heat sources within the estate also appeared.
'Heh, these Extremis soldiers have body temperatures of over 50 degrees even in non-combat form? And no one else noticed this?'
"Perform character body shape matching. Target 1, Aldrich Killian. Target 2, Maya Hansen. Target 3, Trevor Slattery."
In the holographic projection, thermal imaging figures quickly flashed, comparing with the three individuals Luca mentioned.
In the blink of an eye, this simple task was completed.
Hakimi also gave an answer that Luca found barely satisfactory.
"Target 1 locked, Target 3 locked. Target 2 not found."
'Hmm? The mastermind and the actor are here, but the female Dr. isn't?'
'That's right, this is just a filming Base; the research Base might be elsewhere. But never mind, as long as Killian is here, that's enough!'
Thinking this, Luca didn't hesitate and directly ordered the three Haro Mechas, which were already on standby,
"Get moving, little ones~"
