["It's not malfunctioning! Well... I'm honestly not entirely sure if it is or isn't!" 3rd Gen Spider-Man struggled to articulate the strange sensations he'd been experiencing, his voice filled with uncertainty.]
[Happy nodded with understanding and patted Peter's shoulder encouragingly, "Okay! You trust your Peter-tingle! That's what we're calling it now! I'll go extract your friends from that death trap, and you focus on getting your Peter-tingle back to full strength!"]
[Happy quickly jogged toward the aircraft's cockpit area, while 3rd Gen Spider-Man continued his mantra of self-encouragement, "I can do this! I can absolutely do this! I will not fail!"]
[Inside the sophisticated fabrication chamber, a brand new Spider-suit was being rapidly printed and assembled by advanced 3D manufacturing technology, each component carefully crafted to Peter's exact specifications.]
Meanwhile, Tony Stark and his assembled team took the express elevator and reached the ground floor of Stark Tower within moments.
"Is this individual actually a real flesh-and-blood person? Are we absolutely certain he's not just another sophisticated holographic illusion?" Captain America studied the mysterious figure standing at the building's main entrance from a safe distance.
"JARVIS, have you completed a full biometric scan?"
"Yes, sir! The subject is displaying all standard human life signs and biological responses! This is definitely not an illusion created by projection technology or advanced holography!"
"Now this is genuinely fascinating!" Tony's eyes lit up with scientific curiosity about this enigmatic visitor's true circumstances. By this time, he had already donned his latest vibranium-enhanced armor for maximum protection.
The genuine Mysterio stood in complete silence at Stark Tower's main entrance, still holding his distinctive battle suit in his hands. Since very little time had elapsed since his street confrontation, he had made no attempt to don his combat gear.
The delay was partly due to the substantial crowd of curious onlookers who had gathered around the area. From their perspective, this individual who bore a striking resemblance to the notorious Quentin Beck had just descended from the sky in an impossible display of flight, which naturally captured their intense fascination and concern.
However, when they observed Tony Stark emerging from the building in his intimidating Iron Man armor, they felt a collective surge of apprehension and quickly dispersed from what was clearly about to become a potentially dangerous confrontation zone.
General Ross also received an immediate alert regarding an unidentified flying object appearing in New York City's airspace, and he rushed to the central command room to assess the developing situation.
Ever since the devastating Dark Elf invasion had wreaked havoc on the city, New York's airspace monitoring and control protocols had become exponentially more stringent and comprehensive. Any aircraft or flying object that entered the city's airspace without proper authorization would be immediately detected and tracked by their advanced surveillance systems, and this mysterious Mysterio was certainly no exception to these security measures.
When General Ross and his military staff observed the footage of this new Mysterio, they exchanged bewildered glances and almost questioned whether their monitoring equipment was malfunctioning.
Ross's immediate tactical assessment was that this represented Quentin Beck's criminal accomplices using advanced drone technology to create sophisticated illusions, and that this mysterious figure was simply another component of the convicted terrorist's elaborate deception schemes.
Tony instructed everyone to remain safely inside the building while he flew out wearing his protective armor and slowly descended to land directly in front of the enigmatic visitor. Without offering any verbal greeting, he immediately extended his armored hand and conducted another comprehensive biometric scan.
The results clearly revealed a complete human skeletal and organ structure inside the suit, providing definitive proof that the individual standing before him was indeed a living, breathing person rather than any form of technological projection.
Mysterio calmly shrugged his shoulders and raised both hands, turning them slowly in front of Tony's sensors to demonstrate his complete cooperation and transparency. He showed no signs of concern about Tony's obvious wariness and defensive posture, as he could completely understand and respect the billionaire's cautious approach to this unprecedented situation.
"I am a real person! My name is Quentin Beck – yes, the exact same name as that fraudulent liar featured on your sky dome broadcasts – but I can assure you that I am nothing like that deceptive charlatan!"
Tony studied him meticulously from head to toe. Under the combined analytical power of both JARVIS and his armor's advanced scanning systems, Tony could clearly determine that the facial similarity between this individual and the imprisoned Quentin Beck was approximately 87%, which definitively confirmed that they were not the same person.
This type of dimensional similarity had occurred before in their experience. The newspaper editor from an alternate reality had been a perfect example – the faces were remarkably similar, but not completely identical in every detail. Apart from that elderly gentleman, Tony had not yet encountered anyone with 100% facial similarity from another dimension.
Without waiting for Tony to begin his interrogation, this Mysterio took the initiative to explain his origins. Although he fully understood how absolutely ridiculous his story would sound, it was nonetheless the complete truth of his circumstances.
Tony, Captain America, and the other assembled heroes found his explanation somewhat difficult to believe initially, but it was undeniably true that Mysterio's account was indeed logically convincing. After all, who could definitively say that the sky curtain couldn't transport people between dimensions? The mysterious phenomenon had already demonstrated its ability to broadcast events from parallel universes with perfect clarity.
However, as a necessary security precaution, Tony chose to immediately notify Director Nick Fury and requested that Captain Marvel be placed on high alert status. If this dimensional visitor suddenly revealed hostile intentions or launched an attack, Captain Marvel would be capable of subduing him in the shortest possible timeframe.
Tony then summoned an autonomous vehicle to transport them. The genuine Mysterio offered no resistance whatsoever and obediently entered Tony's vehicle as they headed toward the secure facility where the imprisoned Quentin Beck was being held.
[Meanwhile, in London, the fraudulent Quentin Beck sensed that the timing was perfect for the next phase of his elaborate performance and issued his command: "Release the lightning strike!"]
[William immediately executed the order with practiced precision.]
[Ned and his fellow students aboard the tour bus immediately noticed that a massive bolt of lightning had struck the historic building directly behind their position with devastating force.]
[Mr. Harrington made his way down to the lower level of the double-decker bus to consult with their driver, "Excuse me, sir! Is it safe for us to remain on the upper deck? Should we evacuate the bus immediately? Oh! My goodness!"]
[When he reached the front of the vehicle, he discovered that the driver supposedly portrayed by Gutman had completely vanished without leaving any trace of his whereabouts, so he immediately returned to the upper level in a state of panic.]
[When the students saw him climbing back up the stairs, Mr. Dell called out with concern, "What did the driver tell you about our situation?"]
["The driver has completely abandoned us!!!" When this shocking news was announced, the students immediately began to panic and fear for their safety.]
["It's going to be okay! Mr. Dell and I will do everything in our power to protect all of you!"]
[Mr. Dell immediately protested this responsibility, "Oh! NO! Don't drag me into this disaster with you, Roger!"]
[Seeing that Dell was still attempting to shirk his responsibility even in this crisis situation, Harrington shouted back in frustration: "I'm already doing everything I can with all my strength, Julius!"]
["Everyone listen to me..." Harrington attempted to address the group, but was cut off mid-sentence.]
[Mr. Dell pointed at the massive waterspout that had suddenly materialized beside Tower Bridge and shouted in terror, "Oh God! The supernatural forces are manifesting again!"]
[Harrington turned his head to follow Dell's gaze and his pupils immediately contracted in horror, "Oh! My God! Everyone evacuate the bus immediately!!!"]
[The students frantically escaped from the tour bus under Mr. Harrington's urgent leadership and guidance.]
["Okay! Students, stay close to me! Come on! Let's move quickly but stay together!"]
[Shortly after their desperate evacuation, a massive bolt of lightning struck the abandoned bus with tremendous force, flipping it completely over before it was violently sucked into the raging waterspout and exploded in a spectacular fireball.]
[As flames erupted high into the sky, an absolutely terrifying monster emerged from the heavens above, displaying its menacing fangs and razor-sharp claws with murderous intent.]
[Quentin Beck observed his massive elemental creation with deep satisfaction and pride, "Now this is a disaster truly worthy of requiring the Avengers' intervention!"]
[Beneath the Thames River's surface, several advanced drones moved at incredible speeds through the water, launching powerful sonic shock waves from their underwater positions, creating the realistic illusion of a genuine monster emerging from the depths and causing devastating structural damage to the riverbank and surrounding buildings.]
["This way! This way! Keep moving! Go! Go! Go!" Mr. Harrington ran in desperate terror while leading his students to safety.]
[Ned continued his live broadcast coverage even in this moment of extreme peril, constantly filming the colossal monster with unwavering determination.]
["Ned!!!!" Several of his classmates saw that he was still recording footage and immediately pushed him forward to force him to run. Although Ned was reluctant to stop documenting this historic event, he had no choice but to flee with everyone else.]
[Ned ran while shouting in denial, "This can't be real! This is impossible! None of this is actually happening!"]
[MJ complained with characteristic sarcasm as she sprinted alongside them: "Well, it certainly looks a hell of a lot more convincing to me than anything we've seen before!"]
[They successfully escaped from Tower Bridge and reached the riverbank, where they could finally observe Quentin Beck's ultimate monster creation in its complete, terrifying glory, "Wind, Fire, Water, and Earth combined into one?!!"]
["Oh! No way! They've merged together just like the Power Rangers!"]
[Mr. Harrington felt compelled to correct this pop culture reference, "Actually, you're thinking of Voltron!"]
["Who?"]
[Harrington repeated the name twice with increasing frustration and volume, "Voltron! You meant Voltron! The robot lions that combine!"]
