Luke laughed a little. "Of course I taste it. You should see Paladin at a taco place. It defies the laws of physics!" He settled in and started waiting. "If there's bad guys I'll just say I needed to use the bathroom and they pulled guns. Wouldn't be a lie. Plans are for other people, I'm not that subtle. Hey I can win without leveling a city block! It's called surrender. You could lie and say Hulk's coming. If they surrender they won't get smashed!" Luke didn't wanna ever fight Hulk but it made for an entertaining joke.
He was quiet for a while except for his stomach rumbling and the priceless look of regret on his face. He was waiting for a signal. When Jess and Spidey were fighting King, Luke wasn't able to help her because Stark was eager to get in the way. This time it wasn't gonna go down like that!
