It was already the third day since they had received Tony's notice.
In the past day and a half, apart from listening to Frank's tactical arrangements, everyone had only done very low-intensity training to ensure that their bodies were in the best balance.
During this period, Luke had also learned some of the follow-up news from Tony.
On the night that everyone had been informed to gather, Loki had suddenly appeared at one of SHIELD's research bases, stolen an important item, and destroyed the base.
Nick Fury reacted quickly and immediately found a way to get the World Security Council to agree to the formation of the Avengers.
While he was persuading the five board members, Phil had already informed Tony of the situation, and then came to New York to pick up Captain America.
Natasha rushed to Brazil overnight and found Dr. Bruce Banner, who was living in seclusion in the slums of Rossinha, and successfully brought him back.
When Luke heard the news, his expression was very strange. Was this Marvel's version of a hero falling for a beautiful woman?
That was Green Fatty, who would explode at the slightest touch! He had actually been brought back by Natasha just like that?
So what if he was beautiful? So what if he had excellent temperament? So what if he looked fierce?
Hm, he really was amazing.
Nick Fury had made a huge profit by resisting the pressure from Hairy Bear and getting Natasha to work for him.
At this point, Captain America, Green Fatty, Natasha, and Tony Stark, who was an off-staff consultant, were mostly in place.
The only pain was that Hawkeye suddenly rebelled and ran off with Loki, who had attacked SHIELD's base.
Luke wasn't too surprised.
This was the first time that Loki had come to Earth in person, and Hawkeye couldn't be a mole.
And this prince of Asgard seemed to be … a mage? Maybe he had some kind of seduction spell.
Luke himself could control women's behavior with pheromones, and he wouldn't allow Loki to control men.
The next night, Tony sent another message saying that they had caught Loki in Stuttgart, Germany. On the way back, they had a fight with Thor, who had suddenly appeared. In the end, they shook hands and returned to one of SHIELD's bases.
Now Loki has been imprisoned in this "special" base of S.H.I.E.L.D., but the item he stole has not been recovered.
Luke didn't have any intention of studying the second prince of Asgard.
SHIELD wasn't that close to him, and he wouldn't enter one of SHIELD's bases to deliver his head.
There was no need for him to send his avatar in.
With Thor there, would he allow the Earthlings to torture the Second Prince of Asgard?
So, even if Luke went to the base, he could only watch. After all, Rocky wasn't a woman.
As for the item that Loki had stolen, Tony had never said anything about it, but Luke knew what it was.
Universe Tesseract!
This thing, known as the Tesseract, was similar to Luke's Universe.
Cube Technology naturally had nothing to do with it.
Luke vaguely remembered that it was a spatial item.
Loki seemed to have used it to open the space door and let the Chitauri fleet invade Earth.
Luke didn't have many memories of how Loki had used it to open that gigantic portal in the movie. He only remembered that it had happened on the roof of a skyscraper.
Luke's four medium-sized drones had already taken off to monitor the entire building in New York, especially the area in Manhattan.
But so far, no obvious abnormalities had been detected, including in Stark Tower.
He was also a little helpless about it: God knows how Loki controlled Hawkeye.
If it was a head-on battle, Hawkeye definitely wouldn't be considered a powerful DPS hero.
But when it came to covert operations, this guy was a professional, and he knew Tony Stark and S.H.I.E.L.D.'s surveillance abilities very well.
To avoid surveillance from these two parties, it was also possible to avoid Luke's surveillance.
Luke had even asked Tony to investigate the interior of Stark Tower, but there was no trace of the Cosmic Tesseract.
This made him wonder: Shouldn't such a big scene have happened on Tony's building? It would be so satisfying to tear down this flashy tycoon's new building.
Also, he vaguely remembered that Stark Tower seemed to be the center of the battle in New York.
Puzzled, he made a trip to Stark Tower, but still didn't find anything.
Recalling Elena's two paintings, Luke knew that he probably wouldn't be able to avoid this attack.
The Chitauri army was bound to appear. It would be best if they didn't find the Cosmic Tesseract in advance to avoid the opening of the spatial portal.
Thankfully, he never pinned his hopes on the movies he had watched in his previous life. Otherwise, he would definitely be dumbfounded by now.
At noon, Tony suddenly contacted Luke and told him the big news. "Hawkeye snuck in and destroyed the base. We caught him, but he let Loki go. Bruce Banner transformed into the Hulk and rushed out of the base. Also … "He paused for a moment.
Luke said, "Just say it."
Tony said, "Well, Phil was sacrificed."
Luke's heart skipped a beat, and his face immediately darkened.
He couldn't help but tighten his grip, and the coffee cup he was holding was instantly crushed into powder, and brown liquid splashed all over the floor. "Are you sure?"
After a brief silence, Tony said, "Nick Fury told us."
He then lowered his voice. "But … I didn't see Phil's body with my own eyes. I only saw the video of his death."
Luke's mind raced. He waved at Mindy, who was about to come over to help, and said in a low voice, "Phil probably had Life One and the light dagger with him."
Tony's voice was equally soft. "Yes, that's what I thought too. Also, after Nick Fury announced the news, the minor conflict within the Avengers was suppressed, so … "
Luke hummed in acknowledgment. "Phil might not be dead. Nick Fury is using his sacrifice to speed up the integration of the Avengers."
Tony exhaled. "That should be it."
The Young Master found the smiling Feldt worker quite pleasing to the eye. It would be a pity if he died.
Luke took out a napkin and wiped the coffee and the coffee in his hand unhurriedly. "Who did it?"
Tony said, "Loki."
Thinking for a moment, he added, "He pierced Phil's left chest with his scepter. It was definitely a fatal wound."
A cold light flashed in Luke's eyes. "Hm, but Phil still has a chance to survive."
Both Life One and the light dagger could quickly heal wounds.
Luke had also specially modified a small device for Phil that could automatically inject him with Life One when it detected that his life was in danger.
Phil and Nick Fury also had the light dagger.
Even if Phil couldn't move after that, Nick Fury would save him with the light dagger.
Not only was Phil the only S.H.I.E.L.D. member who could communicate with Batman, he was also Nick Fury's confidant. The director definitely wouldn't let him die.
As he quickly speculated on the possibilities, Luke was slightly relieved.
Judging from Nick Fury's personality and behavior afterward, Phil had a high chance of survival.
But that wasn't enough for Luke to let Loki go.
