It had been months since the avengers returned home to New York, an inprisiond Loki in toe.
They'd come back to see Stark Towers- their home- ruined.
(Again.)
Tony glanced around, trying and failing to fully take in the damage.
He'd seen the cityscape destroyed before, buildings falling, cars in flame. It had only just been rebuilt, the structures repaired, the populace finally moving on from the trauma. But the havoc Loki had wreaked when he tried to rule earth was nothing compared to this. Buildings weren't falling apart- some were gone entirely, ripped down to ragged foundations. There were gaping, smoke filled holes in the cities once famous skyline.
There were no words for the gruesome desolation.
"Who would this?" Natasha demanded, looking at the destroyed city.
Tony couldn't answer.
"Pepper," he whispered, voice full of dread.
The ruins of Stark tower were still smoking, only the crumbling bottom floor left.
Frantically, Tony began digging through the rubble.
"What are you guys standing around for? Help me here!"
"What would you have us do?" Thor asked with despair.
Tony glanced up from a pile of rubble, eyes sharp and hard.
"Look for survivors," Steve said grimly, and Tony managed a nod before he went back to digging.
asked his eyes landed on a small child she was breathing heavily.
"Can you move?" Tony asked.
"Yes, i can movie you pathetic human," she spoke, slapping at Tony.
She stood up and glanced at all the avengers around her.
"We are the Ooglians. We are a proud alien race, and we will take over this pathetic planet and sell it too the overlord Turret. You have been warned- nothing and no one is safe. this planet will be destroyed and ruled by Turret."
Bruce glared at the child ready to turn into the hulk. Clint readied his bow and arrows while Thor, Loki and Natasha got into their various fighting stances.
It was useless.
In the blink of an eye, the young child had disappeared into nothingness.
They looked around for her, but the streets were left as barren as before.
"Where is- How could that little piece of-" Clint cursed.
"I do not know. But I cannot find any signs of life in the area." Thor said, head hung, voice low as they continued to search.
Tony cursed, rearing on the others- one in particular.
"I swear, Loki, if you have any thing to do with this, you are dead. Not even Thor will be able to save you."
Loki glared back, eyes acidic.
"Don't be asinine, you miserable waste. If you care to recall, I've been with you. When do you think I would have found the time to cause this much devastation? And I have never even heard of these 'Ooglians'."
