After the battle, the special force team's replaceable gear had immediately been divided up and carted off to various agencies.
But when those agencies triumphantly brought the gear back, they discovered that the most important energy cores and control chips inside had disappeared.
It wasn't an automatic self-destruct program; the most important components had simply vanished into thin air.
Then, Tony received a message from Batman, telling him that the gear which had the bigshot's stamp on it was all discarded parts. If he liked, he could collect a few.
Tony cursed inwardly when he heard that.
That was because Stark Industries had brought back quite a few parts, but the tycoon hadn't had time to examine and analyze them yet.
Later, Tony also discovered that the parts were stamped with a weird yellow and red seal, and the word "retrieved" was very eye-catching.
The bigshot had personally shown up to take away the big worm battleship.
