• Luca asked who held the stock transfer agreements for the two dead shareholders, then shot Dragan with the Dominator.
• Shamira asked whether they should stage the kidnapping, but Luca reconsidered and took an interest in acquiring Kingpin’s stake without paying.

Luca waited for the Inverted-A Squad to arrive so he could enlist them to help him take Kingpin’s Orange Industries shares. After meeting the team, he prepared to give them their mission instructions.

• Luca worried that taking Kingpin on alone would be beyond his abilities and that asking Tony Stark for help would cost him the shares.
• Shamira reported that Dun Shan’s squad had arrived in New York, and Luca told her to handle the people remaining in the warehouse.
• Shamira introduced Luca to the Inverted-A Squad: leader Dun Shan, assault specialist Ryokugyu, sniper Longbow, heavy weapons specialist Thresh, and technical expert Wrench.

Dun Shan's squad stormed Kingpin's warehouse, but an armored Mercedes arrived as they were exposed and enemies rushed the entrance. Baymax stopped the car while Thresh and Luca opened fire, leaving the assault in the middle of a fierce attack.

• Longbow eliminated the guards in the watchtowers, and Dun Shan led the squad through the fence to take out the outer patrols.
• Wrench spotted an armored Mercedes approaching the warehouse, so Dun Shan ordered explosives planted at the entrance and Longbow to cover the car.
• The Mercedes stopped after its driver saw the bodies, and Wrench warned that enemies inside were charging toward the entrance.
• Ryokugyu detonated the explosives, destroying the doors and killing the six enemies rushing out.
• Baymax halted the charging Mercedes, while Thresh fired his M249 at it and Luca activated Destruction Decomposer Mode.

Luca and Dun Shan’s team attacked Kingpin’s stronghold, using gunfire and Luca’s [Dominator] to break through the gangsters’ defenses. After discovering Kingpin was still barricaded on the third floor, Luca realized the defenders might be waiting for reinforcements and warned the team about a grenade.

• Dun Shan learned that no one had escaped, while Wrench reported destroying an incoming car and warned that reinforcements could arrive.
• Luca used his [Tracking Glasses] to locate Kingpin behind reinforced walls on the third floor, then shouted a warning about a grenade.

Luca kicked a grenade back through a third-floor window, causing it to explode inside and injure the hidden enemies while Baymax caught him. Unable to see whether the target survived, Dun Shan led a team into the building to check, with Luca insisting on joining them.

• Luca warned Inverted-A Squad about two incoming grenades, then used Baymax’s hand to leap into the air and volley one grenade back through the third-floor window.
• The returned grenade detonated inside the building as the other grenade exploded outside; Inverted-A Squad took cover and avoided injury.
• Baymax caught Luca, and Shamira anxiously scolded him for taking such a risk.
• Luca’s thermal vision was overwhelmed by the explosions, so he could not tell whether the target on the third floor had survived.
• Dun Shan ordered Wrench and Longbow to watch for reinforcements and sent Thresh back to the vehicle for ammunition.
• Dun Shan entered the building with Ryokugyu and Wolf Spider to check on the target, and Luca joined them with Baymax leading the way.

Luca and his team reached Kingpin’s stronghold and tried to negotiate, but Luca demanded Kingpin’s glowing white suit instead. Kingpin erupted from behind his bulletproof glass as Luca raised his gun, leaving the confrontation on the verge of violence.

• Luca’s team cleared the second floor and shot two enemies as they reached the stairs to the third floor.
• Luca fired a nonlethal electromagnetic round at Kingpin, but bulletproof glass behind the marble table intercepted it.
• Kingpin offered Luca ten percent of Orange Industries and proposed working together over the alien wreckage in Midtown.
• Luca accepted the offer in principle, then demanded the white suit Kingpin was wearing.
• Kingpin roared and stood up, and Luca raised the Dominator with a smile.
