"You heard me right, the person you are looking for is me!"

A sudden voice suddenly came from the empty door of the office.

Thor and Natasha turn their heads at the same time.

There is nothing at the door.

There is only air.

But then, a sound of bare feet hitting the floor came in.

"Who is there?" Thor raised the hammer vigilantly, "Invisibility? Loki?!"

"Don't be nervous, big man."

"I am the core member of Shabi, Shabi Louden, the Seven, one of my own."

The word "core" is specially emphasized.

As the sound approached, a piece of the sofa dented, forming a peach shape.

"Shabi..." Homelander rubbed his temples with a headache, "How many times have I told you to knock on the door before entering my office. And... put on your pants, or at least don't sit naked on my leather sofa."

"Sorry, boss. But I'm too excited."

"I heard it outside the door. Sneak in? Put on a collar? This is a task tailor-made for me!"

Shabi's voice is full of excitement.

"No one can see me! No matter it's with the naked eye, surveillance or infrared! I'm a ghost!"

"I could walk into that woman's room in a big way, while she was sleeping or while she was taking a shower... In short, I would put the trap around her neck without her noticing!"

"Let me go, boss! I want to do something big!"

"Ha! Just you?"

Before Homelander could speak, another sarcastic voice sounded.

Pietro arrived at some unknown time. He was leaning against the door frame, holding half of an uneaten pizza in his hand.

"You can't even carry a nail clipper, and you still want to wear a collar?"

Pietro rolled his eyes and took a bite of pizza.

"That collar is an entity, Shabi. You are invisible, but the thing in your hand will not be invisible."

"You will act like an idiot and let that golden circle float in the air and then perform a 'haunted' trick in front of that Enchantress."

"You--!!"

Shabi's furious roar could be heard in the air.

"That's a technical problem! I can solve it! Like hide it in... hide..."

"Hiding it in your ass?" Pietro hit the target mercilessly, "That's the only place where I can follow you and become invisible."

"Shut up! You Quickdraw!"

Shabi was obviously hit in a sore spot, and the tone of his voice changed.

"What qualifications do you have to speak against me?! Last time at Sokovia! It was me who saved you! It was me!"

"But how did you repay me? You forgot me in that damn rubble!"

"Do you know how I came back? Pietro!"

"You owe me! Pietro! You owe me a chance to make a name for yourself!"

Pietro was stunned for a moment, the pizza in his mouth suddenly no longer tasted good.

He had indeed forgotten about this incident. At that time, he was busy reuniting with Wanda, and his broken leg was in terrible pain, so he completely forgot about this transparent teammate.

"Well... I..." Pietro touched his nose guiltily, "I... know that you have strong survival ability..."

"So strong!"

Watching the two of them stage a drama of broken brotherhood in the office.

"That's enough."

Homelander knocked on the table helplessly and said.

Pietro immediately stood up straight, and Shabi in the air also became quiet.

Homelander Looking at the two employees arguing over the task, he was not angry, but rather relieved.

That's right.

Only if the employees work hard enough can the boss open Ferrari.

This kind of healthy competition is the essence of Vought corporate culture.

"Stop arguing, you two."

"I like your enthusiasm. Really, I am very touched."

He first praised the two outstanding employees, then turned around and introduced the confused Thor:

"Thor, let me introduce you. These are the two rising stars of my the Seven."

"This is Pietro. His speed is different from mine. His ability is more like... Space-Time Trick." Homelander pointed at Pietro and said.

"When he runs, he creates an independent space-time bubble around his body. In this bubble, the time axis is elongated and the space axis is compressed."

"This means that even if he runs one kilometer in one second, he will only bring a breeze and pass you by without messing up your hair."

Homelander looked at Pietro with a hint of approval in his eyes.

"This kind of 'Silent Superspeed' is most suitable for the dirty work of sneak attacks."

"I don't like the word 'dirty work,' boss." Pietro shrugged, "But it does sound cool."

"And this..." Homelander pointed to the air on the other side, "... is Invisible Man, Shabi."

"Invisible Man?" Thor came over curiously and waved his hand in the air, "... This doesn't look like magic."

"It's not magic, it's science... or mutation." Homelander explained, "His skin is similar to carbon metamaterials and can achieve complete invisibility by bending light. Moreover, this layer of skin can also isolate heat radiation and electromagnetic waves."

"You can't find him even with a thermal imaging camera."

"As for why I can find him..." Homelander tapped his ear, "Because I have super hearing. As long as he is still breathing and his heart is still beating, he can't hide it from me."

Thor suddenly realized it and sighed, "Midgardians's talents... are really diverse."

"I have an idea, Thor. Do you still have this collar?"

Homelander asked Thor.

"As for the collar, I only have one..."

"Okay, actually I brought this."

He took out another strange metal device.

It was a cannon, made of metal, with runes engraved on it.

"Is this the one who sealed Loki's mouth in New York before?" Natasha asked curiously.

"Hehe..." Thor smiled awkwardly, "I asked the dwarf to customize this for Loki..."

"You know, Loki's mouth is too loud, and sometimes he can recite some dangerous spells. So... you know."

"I think this will work for Lorelei as well."

"Perfect."

Homelander hit the Snap.

"Plan A, Plan B, let's live together."

He looked at the two young men who were eager to try.

"Since you both want to go, then don't fight. Let's go together."

"Pietro." Homelander looked at Quicksilver, "You take the collar and execute Plan A. Use your speed to trap her before she reacts. This is the fastest and most effective plan."

"No problem, boss!" Pietro raised his head confidently and gave Shabi a stern look.

"If Pietro fails..."

Homelander turned his attention to Shabi.

"... That's your turn, Shabi. You are Plan B."

"You have to lurk in the dark and look for opportunities. When she relaxes, put the yoke on her."

"But..." Shabi pointed to the cannon, "This thing is not invisible. I hold it like a target."

"Leave this question to me."

Natasha on the side suddenly spoke.
