As the two metaphysical beings were talking the others were sequestered in the wrecked bar on the top of stark tower.
As they walked in, Tony put away his suit, and sat at the bar, turning to his teammates he questioned, "Do any of you know who that is?"
The group began to think as the Hulk powered down and changed.
Oddly enough it was the Captain who responded, "I remember someone along his lines, back in the war, when I was taking out Hydra bases, was once paired up with a british man never told me his name just to call him Black, he was the only sergeant major I saw on the field."
"I do remember him vaguely, he was known as Svart, he was a war hero back when my grandfather Bor was fighting." Thor announced, "He was of great strength and wielded many weapons."
"so we have a person who is most likely Asguardian and has fought four thousand years ago can use magic and does not seem to have aged whatsoever." Tony summarized
"Asgardians do age, it is just far more slowly than midgardians. Surtr has not aged whatsoever." corrected Loki
"So a being, we have no clue what he is, he does not age, according to Loki can use magic, has been on earth for a long time, long enough to have appeared in the second world war and a powerful warrior by asgardian standards four thousand years ago..."
Loki turned to Tony and with a baleful glare deadpanned, "He has been a part of every major event in Asgard in recorded history, and many of the others including the Jotun have the same results. He is the single oldest being we know of. What is worse is that even from his point of view his timeline is absolutely scrambled, for all we know this is the first time he is in this dimension."
That had the entire group wondering.
"Hi, How are you doing?" remarked the subject of the matter as he entered the room.
"Not bad!" the warrior replies.
"Hey weren't his eyes blue before?" turning they saw Loki squealing and fainting. Again.
"Damn fanboys."
"Anyways, his eyes were blue when I hit him earlier, do any of you know what that means?"
"Well, Legolas here was put under mind control using Loki's staff and his eyes were blue." the odd philanthropist remarked, "but a good blow to the back of the head seems to have cured him."
"I would suggest keeping him away from that, I suspect he has at least been partially possessed by it."
"what do you mean?"
"Let me call The Doctor, I will see if I can get her diagnosis."
He pulled out his rather strange lighter before flicking it open.
"Doctor?"
"Yes Mr. Black?"
"Doctor, I have a man who might have a partial possession, I wanted to ask if you could check it out?"
"the Professor and Henchgirl are retrofitting the TARDIS to get Kara, Tim and Raven to the universe your in right now, so I can't but your HexQuarter should give you any information you need."
"Okay, bye!"
As he shut the lighter and turned towards Loki he missed the gaping mouths of the of the rest of the group.
He reached into his pocket, and pulled out a a odd device that seemed to be a metal plate backed with a layer of glowing blue crystal, in the shape of a hexagon that was quartered and each quarter slightly distanced from each other,
The ban quickly ran the device over Loki, focusing on his sternum, temples, and the base of his skull, before making a movement to the back of his head.
"Your friend here seems to have an extra mind put into him." he diagnosed, "This is not what I suspected, of course a good thing but makes it a nuisance to fix. I originally thought that he had an additional soul pushed into his body. But in this case it's almost like he has MPD and the staff is forcing the fake personality to take control." he explained further, before scanning him again this time stopping at mid back. "We also have evidence here of a curse of madness of some sort, to induce greed, jealousy and wrath. Though it does not explain anywhere near his amount of mental trauma."
He pulled out his wand, a short gunmetal stick with a few black and metal parts, before waving it over Loki, first, drawing a thick glowing blue string from the side of his head followed by rapping the base of his spine with his armoured finger.
Stowing away the string he turned to the archer, "Legolas, was it? Let me clear you head."
Again repeating the process, though this time the glowing material was as thin as a spiderweb moving that into a separate vial he turned to the group. Quickly pulling out his lighter he called the Doctor before passing the vials into the flame.
He quickly sat down and turned to the group. "So what do we do with him? I couldn't tell you, I'm better known for not taking prisoners."
The redhead, unnoticed until now was the one to respond, "In most cases there would be an interrogation, but due to his reputation is would be hard to detect if he was telling the truth."
"Hold on." pulling out the lighter and calling Henchgirl again, he asked for something he called Veritaserum. "This," he explained, "Is truth potion, the strongest I know of, and three drops will make any grown man answer any question asked of him in naught but the truth for 30 minutes."
"How can we trust it?" asked the spy, "we don't know if it is real."
"Wan't to try it?"
"Me! Me! Pick Me!" shouted the billionaire.
"Okay." before he swung his arm and bound him to a chair, and, quickly dripped three drops into the awaiting mouth.
"Name, Age and Current Address."
"Anthony Stark, 43, 10880 Malibu Point, 90265."
"ask away"
Banner started, "what is your favourite invention?"
"Type three Arc reactor with a Badassium core."
Clint smiled and asked,
"What is your most embarrassing moment?"
"when I pissed inside my suit."
Natasha asked, "have you ever killed someone?"
"I have killed many members of the terrorist group the ten rings and facilitated the death of Obidiah Stane and Ivan Vanko."
This time Thor was the one to ask, "How does it feel?"
"The effects of the truth serum are strange to say the least I feel a compulsion to answer a suppression of worry and an inability to lie. Furthermore I feel unable to express emotion right now."
Then Black turned to the group, "okay, let me flush him of the truth serum, here" before pouring a strange mildly glowing concoction down tony's throat.
Quickly conjuring a bucket and stepping back, we watched emotionlessly as Tony vomited into the bucket. Before remarking, "Why did you have that much metal inside your body?"
"A missile exploded and I had shrapnel inside my body, following that the previous version of this," he said tapping the device embedded in his chest, "did not have a badassium core, but instead a core of paladium, a heavy metal. And got a decent amount of heavy metal poisoning."
"when the Doctor comes, I will see to having that cleared up more effectively, anyways, do you think that we should interrogate him now?"
"He is Asgardian," remarked Bruce, "we do not know if it would effect him."
"An Asgardian really, I will have to see how Asgard is doing." Joe muttered, before wondering, "I assume that the only other person here dressed like him would be the other asgardian. Why don't we test it on him?"
Before anyone could object, Thor was bound to a chair and three drops of the clear fluid was forced into his mouth.
"Name, Age, in earth years and address?" he questioned.
"Thor Odinson, 3,000 midguardian years, the Palace, Asgard."
"Ask away."
"why did you come to earth?" asked Tony
"I was banished after attacking Jotunheim, by my father who wished to teach me proper responsibility." the demigod answered.
Natasha was next, "Why did you attack Jotunheim?"
"Because I felt like killing something, and Jotunheim is said to be our enemies."
Clint cocked an eyebrow before asking, "Didn't anyone tell you that that was a bad idea?"
"Loki did warn me that attacking the Jotuns would have consequences. However I did not care."
Bruce's face contorted before he asked Thor, "Why would Loki say that?"
"Father told me that he was the son of the frost giant king who he killed after he let them into Asgard."
The group questioning Thor did not notice the mild glow beginning to emanate from Joe's eyes.
As the questioning ended, Harry finally decided, to interrogate Loki.
Sitting on the chair with the three drops of veritaserum on his tongue, harry began the interrogation.
"Now can anyone record this for me?"
JARVIS was quick to respond in the affirmitive. The recording started the interrogation was underway.
"Silencio," he intoned, flicking the spell at Thor. " Loki, please state your full name, Age and place of residence."
"Loki, I have been referred to as Loki Odinson. I am 2,900 midgardian years of age. I currently operate out of a S.H.I.E.L.D. Laboratory that I have enchanted to be ignored."
"Why did you attack Manhattan?"
"I was not in control of my body, my body was ordered to attack by the Chitauri Queen her master, Thanos. I was able to allow myself to be captured after I was hit on the head by Rogers, rather than escape as the entity was commanded to do."
"why did you attack Puente Antiguo?"
"After my coronation, Thor's friends, decided that he had to be brought back, despite his banishment, I sent the destroyer to keep him on earth so I would not have to deal with civil rebellion on top of the other duties that I was covering."
"Tell me about the events leading to your coronation and the subsequent departure of Asgard."
"The Allfather was to enter the Odinsleep, and Thor was to take the throne. I believed that he was too arrogant and brash to be king. So on the night of the announcement I goaded Thor into attacking Jotunheim. I had sent word to some guards to warn Odin of the event. I did not anticipate Hiemdal allowing Thor to leave without stopping him, already having been told of Odin's edict on on Thor not being allowed away from Asgard.
I tried to stop Thor so that he would not go too far, but I was unable to. However, during the excursion I noticed that the Jotun around me did not give me frostbite and I was temporarily turned into a Jotun.
Thor was banished until he regained Moljnir. During this time, I discovered that a sorcerer May accidentally achieve magic at a young age if they believe themselves in danger. II researched the effects of this on shape-shifters being one myself and found that at a young age you may… forget your own original form and are reminded by contact, with the original being or and artefact of their magic. However, I had been in the form so long that I always returned to my Aesir form when I let go of what ever I was holding.
I confronted Odin about this in the Vault. He told me of his plan to use me to bring about a lasting treaty between Jotunheim and Asgard. It was this explanation that lead me to understand why the Allfather allowed Thor and his friends to attack me when we were young, he wished to create a king of Jotunheim that is subservient to the Asgard.
I was enraged but after a while I had calmed down. Odin had entered the Odinsleep and I took over the throne. I did my best to keep the realm in order, but I knew that should Thor return there would be a civil uprising against me so I told him that he had to stay on earth.
I also commanded Heimdal to prevent anyone from going to earth. However he let Hogun, Fandrall, Volstagg and Sif go to Midgard. To prevent them from returning I sent the Destroyer to threaten but not kill anyone. I did not even kill Thor when I attacked him, I only disabled him so that he would have to wait until Odin awoke to return.
Unfortunately this allowed several Jotuns who had come to talk about repayment for what happened due to Thor to steal the Casket of Ancient Winters, and were about to attack Odin. So I killed them, and took the attack as a declaration of war. Hiemdal would not let me pass, so I froze him. I them used the Bifrost to channel the power of the Casket to freeze Jotunheim and kill them. However Thor, fool that he is. Arrived in time to stop me by destroying the Bifrost. My explanation of this was garbled as it seems that the Jotuns places several Curses of Madness on the Casket.
The Curses led me to commit suicide by falling off the Bifrost. However, I did not die and was found by Thanos and the Queen of the Chitauri. Thanos was able to find out what had happened due to my crazed ranting. He then forced the staff upon me, and took control."
"Tell us what you can of the Chitauri invasion."
"After Thanos found me he was going to kill me but since I was so injured I could not leave. At that point I was delusional and was ranting about how Thor had betrayed me. Thanos then forced the staff on me. I was healed and we began trying to send me to the location of the Tessaract. After this I stole the Tessaract and used the staff to take over a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. He was then sent to steal a metal needed to stabilise the portal while I distracted S.H.I.E.L.D. Rogers was able to capture me and the blow to my head allowed me to take control of my body long enough to let myself be captured by S.H.I.E.L.D.
Following this, the entity used the opportunity to fracture the Avengers and damage them by killing one of their members. Then the entity effected escape and began the invasion. I stayed back to protect the portal. However, Surtr was able to defeat him."
"Now for why I silenced Thor. Were you abused by Thor, and abandoned by The Allfather and his wife when in their care?"
"Yes."
Joe's "We are done here." was accompanied by a bright, dangerous glint of his eyes.
