"Since you're Xu's friends, then there's no problem."
Stark sized up Star-Lord and the others before disengaging from combat mode.
The fact that they could say Xu Fan was the Sorcerer Supreme proved that Star-Lord and the others had indeed met Xu Fan.
Besides...
People who had witnessed Xu Fan's divine power generally didn't dare set their sights on him.
Most importantly...
Stark found Star-Lord and the others astonishingly weak. They posed no threat to Earth's safety at all.
"Still, until we've confirmed your identities, please hand over your weapons. No problem with that, right?"
After thinking it over, Stark added this.
In his view, if Star-Lord and the others really were Xu Fan's friends, they shouldn't mind having their weapons taken away.
It wasn't confiscation.
Once their identities were confirmed, their weapons could be returned to them.
"Of course. No problem."
Star-Lord readily agreed and handed over his weapon.
To him, the only thing that truly mattered was the memento his mother had left him.
Weapons and such meant nothing to him.
As for Rocket and the others, aside from the two daggers in Drax's hands, they had no weapons at all.
Then, Rogers invited Star-Lord and the others aboard the fighter jet piloted by Black Widow.
No matter what, it wasn't appropriate to remain here.
After all, this was Queens.
The news needed to be sealed off as quickly as possible.
As for Star-Lord and the others' spaceship, Stark couldn't be bothered to deal with it and handed it over to S.H.I.E.L.D.
"Alien friends, huh."
Sitting in the pilot's seat, Black Widow glanced at Star-Lord and the others.
Other than Star-Lord, who looked like an Earthling, Black Widow had never even heard of the other creatures.
Of course...
Black Widow naturally didn't know that Star-Lord was actually half-Earthling.
