Having heard this much, Luca knew that for such a major event, Tony would definitely inform S.H.I.E.L.D..
Or perhaps he had already informed Fury on his way here.
It was just unclear whether Tony Stark had only mentioned the spatial fluctuations, or if he had also told S.H.I.E.L.D. about his own existence.
Thinking of this, Luca no longer had his previous cautiousness and directly asked,
"So, how do you plan to deal with me and Gwen?"
In fact, when Luca said this, he had already placed himself in the same position as Gwen, indicating his intention to participate in this matter.
However, after hearing this, Tony looked at him deeply, then relaxed his expression, and seemingly casually offered two choices.
"Actually, this matter itself has little to do with you. Miss Gwen definitely needs to stay here and cooperate with us for some tests. This is also so that we can find a way to send her back to her original World later."
"But as for you... if you choose to go back, I will send a Mark Armor to protect your safety and maintain contact at all times."
"If you are worried about safety, you can also choose to stay here!"
"But if I were you, I would definitely choose to go home obediently. You know, when I was your age, I was famously a good boy, wishing I could stay in the lab 24 hours a day."
"People like us only need to use our brains; there's no need to put ourselves in danger~"
Dr. Banner's face was filled with incredulous blankness when he heard Tony's words.
Actually, when Tony said this, he was thinking of the scene during the Battle of New York when Luca came out to help him.
Even now, he still couldn't figure out why Luca would run out of his house and appear at that location when it was full of alien invaders outside.
However, Tony always felt that this kid had a bit of a crazy streak in him.
So, although he was verbally advising Luca to go home obediently, what Tony was actually thinking was:
"It's better to keep him by my side, lest this kid inexplicably runs out and encounters some danger again."
Luca, of course, couldn't guess Tony's true thoughts, but he also didn't take the other party's subsequent irrelevant advice to heart. He would make his own judgment on what choice to make.
But before that, there were still some things Luca needed to clarify.
"Mr. Stark, how long do you think it will take to fully resolve this incident?"
Seeing that Luca didn't make an immediate decision, Tony didn't rush him but said patiently, "Actually, just before you arrived, someone had already gone to Kingpin's experimental Base to investigate, and also that sewer you mentioned."
"However, although both places left some traces, there were no important discoveries."
"Moreover, it's hard to say whether the spatial fluctuations and Loki are truly related to the mysterious force you mentioned."
"So, I can't determine how long it will take to resolve this matter, or whether you will be safe after this matter is resolved."
At this point, Tony himself felt a little embarrassed.
He, Tony Stark, the famous Iron Man, saying "hard to say" and "cannot determine"—it sounded very cheap.
After thinking for a moment, he decisively added,
"But don't worry, since you were implicated in this matter, I will definitely take full responsibility and ensure your future safety."
It's the first time a man has said he'll take full responsibility for me...
Shaking off the complaint in his head, Luca also gave his answer.
"Since Mr. Stark doesn't mind, I'll stay here for a few days first."
"If this incident can be resolved as soon as possible, that would be best. If it drags on for too long, then we'll talk about it later."
"However, if possible, could I trouble you to send an Iron Man Armor to protect my home? I'm worried that those people, unable to find me here, might target my family."
Hearing Luca say this, Gwen, who had remained mostly silent, immediately added,
"And my family in this World, they don't know anything. I don't want to implicate them because of me!"
"Don't worry, someone has already gone to the Stacy family to protect them in secret. As for your request…" Saying this, Tony looked at Luca, whose expression hadn't changed much, and said somewhat uninterestingly,
"No problem."
The conversation had reached this point, and it seemed everything had a conclusion.
All three of them—Luca, Gwen, and Samira—sighed in relief.
Luca ensured his own safety and successfully joined the righteous side, doing his best to distance himself from HYDRA, which was bound to be exposed in the future.
Gwen saw hope of returning to her original World, and now she had Luca, a 'familiar face,' accompanying her.
Samira believed that both Luca and the lady's safety were guaranteed.
Everyone had a bright future.
And Luca also turned to Samira and said,
"Aunt Samira, why don't you go back to the Villa first? Mother Gina still needs you to keep an eye on her for me."
While saying this, Luca kept winking at Samira.
In fact, not only did his mother Gina need her help looking after, but also bringing the 'Spider Armor' core back with Shield Mountain, and acquiring '276 tons of metal scrap'—all these things still needed Samira to do.
Fortunately, Samira also understood Luca's expression. Although she was a bit worried about his safety,
But thinking that this was Tony Stark's territory, it was impossible to encounter any danger, so she agreed after some hesitation.
"Mr. Stark?"
"I don't care. You can arrange such things yourself."
"No, I mean, do you have any spare laboratories here that you could lend me?"
After simply instructing Jarvis to arrange a resting place for Luca in the building, there was no laboratory.
According to Tony Stark, the laboratories on the top floor had everything one could want, with complete materials and equipment.
Whatever Luca wanted to do, he could always offer some guidance.
After speaking, Tony took Dr. Banner to do some simple tests on Gwen.
However, this was a bit awkward. Although Luca did have some ideas and wanted to create something for 'self-defense'.
But his practical ability was...
"Forget it, Harro will save me!"
Saying that, Luca hugged the little thing in his arms tighter.
However, after telling Jarvis the materials he needed, Luca didn't just sit by the experimental bench and wait. Instead, he quietly approached Thor, who was also unable to participate in the experiment and was dozing on a nearby sofa, and whispered,
"Sir Thor, excuse me, may I see your umbrella?"
