Tony wasn't interested in dealing with the paparazzi right now. Even if he was, Mark VI was about to fall apart. How could he appear on the news in such a sorry state?
A moment later, Luke returned to his detective clothes and walked out of an alley in the distance with a phone in his hand. "Boss? What happened at the Wall Street subway station should be over. Iron Man has already flown away. It looks like he had a big fight inside. I didn't see Batman, so he should be gone. "
Dustin was stunned. "Oh, where are Simon and Tagle?"
Luke said helplessly, "Dead. Their subordinates are all dead."
Dustin asked, "Are you sure?"
Luke said, "Yes. Iron Man should know. Should I call him and ask him about the situation?"
Dustin hesitated for a moment before he agreed. "Okay, try to confirm the information as much as possible. Only then can we deal with this" big accident "with peace of mind."
Luke said, "Got it."
He hung up the phone and wasn't in a hurry.
Selina and Gold Nugget had already arrived at Chaste-Stuart School, where the "big accident" was located.
She only had to take the dog head in to confirm that the liquid in the "big accident" was really just syrup, and not raw materials that would explode when mixed.
The alien dog head's sense of smell wasn't as strange as Luke's, but it wasn't bad.
Also, if it said it was syrup, it was definitely syrup. It could even tell where it was produced.
This also meant that today's series of explosions was basically over.
Luke learned from Tagle and Simon that they hadn't set up any more scattered explosives, because the "big accident" was enough to attract everyone's attention.
They were here to rob, and weren't planning to sacrifice themselves for some inexplicable ideal.
Running away after the robbery was the right thing to do.
The last question was where the 2,400 pounds of the original "big accident" had gone.
Thinking that, Luke's clone had already asked Fu to start tracking down the clues left behind by the robbers.
Luke's main body stayed by the subway station entrance to stop the impulsive paparazzi and "crime scene fans," as he made calls and passed on the information.
It didn't matter to the others, but Tony had to come out for a spin.
At the very least, he had to give clear testimony that Luke had played a role in the arrest of Tagle and Simon.
As long as he said that, the Detective Bureau's operation would be a success.
That was because Luke was Dustin's direct subordinate and a police officer who had killed dozens of robbers.
Even if it was for the sake of face, NYPD had to obtain this honor.
Otherwise, if everything was done by Batman and Iron Man, then NYPD's tens of thousands of police officers would be nothing more than bystanders. In the end, they would only be able to find a fake 2,400 pounds of syrup. How embarrassing would that be!
Not only that, but Tony's testimony could also prove that John and Simon's "game" had helped him and Batman lock onto the criminal.
NYPD didn't mind taking more credit.
The FBI and the Department of Homeland Security could all scram. NYPD wasn't a subordinate of those two departments.
On the contrary, as the largest local police department in the United States, NYPD had always disliked these two departments interfering with its jurisdiction.
Especially after the Twin Star Building incident a few years ago, these two departments had already squeezed out a considerable amount of NYPD's authority. They could easily arrest people in New York, and after the incident, they could just say that they were involved in a terrorist threat and dismiss the police department.
Now that NYPD had contributed to this serial bombing, it could be considered at least 10-20% of the credit.
On the other hand, the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security hadn't done anything at all. They hadn't even stepped in until the matter was almost over.
There was no doubt that a few middle-level managers in these two departments would have to step down.
It wasn't that their careers would be ruined, but wasting three to five years was inevitable.
Taking advantage of the gap in time at the subway station, Luke quickly made arrangements.
He then saw Phil arrive with a team of agents in black suits.
Luke wasn't surprised.
The terrorist incident wasn't within SHIELD's purview, but Batman, witches, and the fish egg monsters definitely were.
They looked at each other. Luke smiled, but Phil looked conflicted.
In the end, when they shook hands, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Why did you get involved in this again?"
Luke blinked. "The Detective Bureau is in charge of the subway bombings. The boss told me to stand guard here, and the robbers entered in disguise. There was nothing I could do."
Phil was speechless.
The Detective Bureau was the main investigator of this incident to begin with, and Luke was the best detective in the Detective Bureau.
It only made sense that he was involved. If he didn't do anything, it could only be said that his superior was a stupid pig.
According to Phil's investigation, Luke's direct superior, Dustin, wasn't a stupid pig, but a very capable person. It was enough for him to be transferred to SHIELD as the administrative director of the operations department.
He nodded helplessly and patted Luke on the shoulder. "Be careful in the future. Actually, you should've called me back then. "
At that point, he gestured for them to talk in the subway station.
There were many buildings around here, and it was too easy to be monitored. It was better to talk inside.
Thus, two agents in black suits wearing FBI vests took over Luke's job of guarding the door.
He and Phil walked out of the subway station and found a relatively clean corner to talk about what had happened.
There was nothing they could do about it.
This time, Luke had fought together with Batman and Iron Man, and then witnessed the appearance of the mysterious troublemaker.
In addition, the witches and the fish egg monsters in this incident all had extraordinary powers, and Luke, an ordinary person, was the only one mixed in.
Phil was surprised when he received the news, but he soon felt relieved.
Other people might not know about Luke's file, but how could the person who had personally sent it to Nick Fury not know?
Even if he didn't want Luke to get involved in these mysterious matters, Phil had to admit that Luke, who was almost twenty years old, was already a special person with "extraordinary combat ability."
Of course, such people weren't rare in America, and Phil was one of them.
Otherwise, given how often he dealt with mysterious matters, if he didn't have extraordinary abilities, the grass on his grave would be three feet tall.
They talked for almost an hour. Phil didn't even use his favorite notebook, but directly turned on his phone to record everything Luke said.
After Phil turned off the recording, Luke coughed and said, "I have an informal guess. Don't leave it on file. Just listen."
Stunned for a moment, Phil pressed a button on his earpiece and turned off the surveillance system. "What guess?"
Luke then lowered his voice and told him about the witch's appearance and suspicious actions. "That witch probably wasn't created by some terrorist. She's more like … a secret weapon of some department."

(Many people haven't read what I wrote in the author's note two days ago, so I'll mention it in the main text.
This book won't mix DC's worldview. There will only be some "similar" DC characters, and they are basically female supporting characters. Men understand why.
After all, this book doesn't even have Gotham, and the lord is cosplayed by the main character. It's obviously too much to say that it's a mix of DC universes.
As for the problem of random characters, Marvel and DC have already been very good pioneers. Both sides have been copying each other for decades, and many of the characters are good imitations to begin with.
Finally, a reminder: these characters are just "similar." After all, even their names are "similar."
So, you can't point at Haley Cohen and call her Clown Girl. Clown Girl has never been called that, and the sword and shield heroine is called … Tiana.)
