The Scooby Doo gang would expose Tony Stark because Shaggy is Norville ROGERS
I did not know Shaggy’s last name. The possibilities are intriguing...
Note: Jarvis is too busy working on the scepter and the Ultron upload to notice the Scooby gang sneaking around.

This wasn’t the gang’s usual case. It was more of a road trip. Shaggy knew Rogers was a pretty common last name, so he was shocked to learn he was a distant cousin of THE Steve Rogers--Captain America.
After he reached out to his long-lost relative, Shaggy got an invitation for him and his friends to meet up with Steve at a party in STARK TOWER in New York City.
But OF COURSE an investigation got in the way.
There had been rumors about strange events during the Avengers mission in Sokovia--maybe even a witch! And then when they were looking around downstairs at the Tower, they heard people gossiping about weird lights and strange noises late at night in one of the labs.
Now Velma, Daphne, Fred, and Shaggy were checking it out. Plus Scooby--they didn’t want to leave their teammate behind in the Mystery Van.
They listened in shock as Tony Stark and Dr. Bruce Banner talked about how they were hoping the alien scepter they’d “borrowed” from Thor would be able to let Tony launch his Ultron program. Which would be “a suit of armor around the world.”
That NOBODY asked for.
Apparently Dr. Banner was having second thoughts, because he was saying maybe they shouldn’t go to the party while the program was running.
But Mr. Stark convinced the doctor it was no big deal to leave the program running.
As soon as the two men left, the gang piled into the room.
Shaggy said, “I got a bad feeling about this.”
Scooby whimpered.
Velma nodded and said, “Me too, Shaggy. I don’t think ANYBODY asked Stark to launch a robot army with his Ultron in charge of it.”
Daphne frowned and said, “It sounds like they didn’t tell Thor the truth about what they wanted to do with the scepter. That’s usually a really bad sign.”
Fred sighed and said, “All of you are right. But can we just snatch the thing? It’s a real live ALIEN artifact.”
Scooby said, “N-N-N-Not me.”
Shaggy agreed, then said, “Maybe we should find my cousin--and Thor.”
Velma said, “Let’s split up. Shaggy--you, Daphne, and Scooby find Thor and Steve, while Fred and I keep an eye on things here. I don’t think we should leave that thing alone.”

Luckily, the heroes showed up just as the scepter and the computers around them started acting weird. Between Steve’s shield and Thor’s hammer and lightning, whatever Ultron was got destroyed pretty quickly.
The gang all got special thank yous from the Avengers for saving the world--except Tony Stark, who muttered about how he’d have gotten away with it if it weren’t for those meddling kids.
