Introduction
Tony disappears into the portal and doesn't make his way out. The Avengers mourn the lose of Tony. But a woman appears on the Helicarrier and tells them to go to Asgard. Thor tells his friends she is a Nightshade a powerful royal family of Nightstar Planet that ranks higher then the Allfather. What do the Nightshades have to do with everything? And what is the surprise she told them?
Chapter .1.
All the Avengers look up at the sky waiting with battered for Tony to fall back to earth through the portal. Steve looks up and knows he has to shut the portal. Even though he didn't want too.
"Close it", Steve says with a heavy heart
Natasha does what she is told and the portal closes but Tony never came through. And they couldn't reach him on comms.
"Natasha meet us to get Loki", Steve says with a sad sigh
"Yes Cap", Natasha replies sadly
"Let us retrieve my brother. I am sorry about our shield brother. He was a brave man", Thor says solemnly
Clint and the Hulk join them solemnly and they make their way up the stairs to Tony's penthouse. They all see Loki on the ground and he raises his hands.
"Where is Stark? I would have that drink now", Loki says
"He is dead because of you", Clint growls
"He single handled saved New York to destroy your army with the nuke", Natasha says coldly
"I think that drink can wait", Loki replies not wanting to be shot
Loki felt something that he heard Stark was dead. Something inside him had stirred. Something he didn't like. But his mind was in a haze.
Steve lets Natasha and Clint put Loki in cuffs. And hurl him up. They notice as they leave the Tower all the lights go off and the tower goes dark and eerily silent
A Quinjet was waiting for them within 5 minutes they all board in sombre silence. All thinking of their lose. The Hulk had changed back to Bruce and he was upset about Tony they had gotten along well together. And he had been looking forward to spending more time with the man. As Bruce could see the true genius within Tony and the excitement of inventing new things even in so little time on the helicarrier. Bruce sighs it was never meant to be him having true friends.
Thor looked at his brother and wondered where things went wrong. All those innocent lives lost and now that brave Man of Iron had gone to join his ancestors and warriors in Valhalla. Thor promised Tony Stark's memory would be remembered for defeating an entire army and defending Midgard with honour.
Clint was leaning back as he thought of Stark. He hadn't met the man much but he still liked him. Even if he was arrogant. Now he would not get the chance to talk more with the man.
Natasha kept an eye on Loki. But her mind was on Stark. He had proven her wrong in that report. She should have never wrote his report that way but the security council wanted it that way. Now she regreted ever listening to them. She knew Stark had not trusted her. And she wished now she could apologised and made it up to that man.
Steve was thinking about how he never got to tell Tony he was wrong about him. He never got to say he was sorry to the man who just sacrificed himself for New York. Steve promised Tony silently that he would make sure Tony Stark's memory would live on and that they would never forget his sacrifice.
When they arrive at the helicarrier there was a sombre feeling in the air. Of a victory which was soured by the lose of someone who was irreplaceable. And Nick Fury himself was waiting for them. They escort Loki to his cell and then they all gather around the table which was now one space short now that Tony was dead.
"Who sent that nuke?" Natasha demands
"The Security Council. I tried to stop them. Didn't get there in time", Nick says with real regret in his eye
"Why are you caring now?" Clint asks suspiciously
"Because he was my Godson", Fury admits not needing to hide it now
They all look at him in shock.
"How?" Bruce asks
"Howard. I knew him and his wife. We were good friends. When Tony was born they made me his godfather and I only agreed on one condition", Fury starts
"What condition?" Natasha asks
"That they would never tell another living soul about it and only tell Tony when he was old enough to keep it a secret. I had many enemies and I didn't what them targeting him. It was the same with Tony's godmother. You know her Rogers", Fury says with a small smile
"Who?" Steve asks
"Peggy Carter. He always called her his Aunt. She was close to him especially when his parents where killed. I had to stay in the shadows", Fury explains
Steve was shocked that his Peggy was Tony's godmother but he supposed that it shouldn't off. After all Peggy was good friends with Howard.
"Why are you two normally at each others throats then?" Clint asks
"We partly act. Tony would never sabotaged someone's cover. So he likes to make it look like he does. And I act like it annoys me. But the truth is he doesn't. Howard got bitter in his years. And Tony really never had a father. Only once did Tony say I was closer to him then Howard. I never got to tell him I was sorry for being protective", Fury says with a sigh
"Protective?" Bruce asks
"I always made sure he wasn't pulled into all this bullshit. But he ended up in trouble anyways. But one thing I regret was ever leaving Obadiah Stane in a position of power over Tony. But that is now in the past. And apologies can't be given anymore", Fury replies
"He will be in Valhalla with all other brave, courageous and valiant warriors go. And he was the most courageous of all giving his life to save the people", Thor says with conviction
"We can hope that. And Fury we all have regrets", Natasha adds
Suddenly white and gold light appears in the room. And there was a woman. Her gold hair was in braids, with eyes that changed colour and she was wearing a type of uniform. She also had black, white and gold wings. Everyone had their weapons trained on her.
"Peace warriors of Earth otherwise known as Midgard otherwise known as Terra. I am here in peace. I am Princess Iythssa Nightshade of the planet Nightstar in the Night Empire", Princess Iythssa says softly
Thor gasps at the woman. All Asgardians had heard of the Nightshades. They were the most powerful ruling family in all of the known and unknown Universe. They were immortal and had the largest royal family in the universe. They were rarely seen. And having someone from the royal family appearing before them was quite an honour. The highest honour of all. And all Royal Nightshades and guards had their own dragons, demons and phoenixes.
"Your Imperial Highness", Thor says dropping onto his knees, "How may I serve thee?"
Everyone looks at Thor in surprise all but the woman Iythssa.
"Peace and Rise Crown Prince Thor of Asgard of the Nine Realms Galaxy. I have no need of your assistance but your in need of mine", Princess Iythssa replies
"Who are you?" Fury asks
"I am Imperial Princess Iythssa Nightshade of the planet Nightstar, of the Night Empire in the Mystery Galaxy. I am here to issue a request and to fix something that should have never happened", Princess Iythssa replies
"I would listen to her. The Nightshades have always protected Midgard. And they are trustworthy and the most powerful people in the Universe. But they mean us no harm", Thor says assuring his friends
"How do you know?" Steve asks
"I swear on the Allfather Odin that the Nightshades mean no harm", Thor replies
Everyone was shocked. They knew someone such as Thor would never swear on the Allfather unless it was a sure thing.
"Very well. What can you do for us?" Fury asks
"Take me to Philp J Coulson. I have a wrong to be made right", Princess Iythssa demands
"He is dead", Natasha says flatly
"No he isn't. I sense him even now", Princess Iythssa replies
"He is in surgery. It is touch and go", Fury says with a sigh
"How dare you tell us he was dead!" Clint yells
"It was needed to get you going", Fury defends himself
"Take me too him and I will save his life", Princess Iythssa demands
Fury glares at her trying to get a read on her but can't so he curiously leads them out of the room and to the Medical Bay. Princess Iythssa pushes her way in past the surgeons who were yelling at her. Princess Iythssa's hands and a stone around her neck glow white. And she puts her hand above the gapping wound. Coulson's body begins to glow and the wound was seen to be sealing. Coulson begins to become less pale. The blood disappeared from his body and he seemed to be breathing easier. His heart rate on the monitor picked up to a steady pace.
"There he will live. Give him two days and he will be as good as new", Princess Iythssa says as the glow dies down
"What did you do?" the surgeon asks running over with the nurses
"I healed him noble surgeon. As I said two days and he will be as good as new", Princess Iythssa says smiling and leaving the room of shocked people
The Avengers and Fury quickly follow her out. After Fury orders them to do every test imaginable on Coulson.
"Now my message for you Avengers. All of you plus James Rhodes, Virginia Potts, Harold Hogan, Nicholas Fury, Maria Hill, Philip Coulson, Darcy Lewis and Erik Selvig are to go to Asgard with Loki. Don't worry about Jane Foster she is well. There you will get another message. You must depart in one week. And all of you MUST go to Asgard. As a surprise awaits you. Be well hero's off earth. Know your lost one is recovering", Princess Iythssa says and disappears in a gold and white light
They were all startled. They wonder what she had meant…
