- Responses to reviews
- May (guest) – Sorry about the misinformation I literally have no idea on languages (I barely manage English). I just typed in 'names that mean repentance' into Google and Capernaum came up saying it had a Hebrew root, I've looked it up now and changed it. Hopefully it's accurate this time. Thank you for the help and I hope you continue to enjoy reading.
- .563 – Yea don't worry I understood you on that one. I knew what you were talking about so I didn't actually notice until you pointed it out. Have you got some sort of predicting superpower or something, your thinking along the same lines that I am. I already had that kind of a Barton scene planned (including the 'capernaum' sass) it was already going to be a part of my story ! Please do keep suggesting though (and that goes for any reader ho has anything to contribute), with a story like this suggestions will just help it grow. Also on the final note yes you were right that was what I was imagining for his wings, also yes I think mother of pearl is the right word ... I hope. Anyway I hope you enjoy and feel free to tell me off and point out any mistakes I make. I won't be offended (this also goes for any reader)
- ry(gest) — thanks I hope you enjoy
- DGtnsl — I know the spelling mistakes are awful I'm really sorry about them. I have been through them and so the first chapter has been updated as well hopefully now it shouldn't have spelling mistakes. Unfortunately with the first chapter, after I got half way through it refused to save anymore so I just checked it on fanfiction without checking through it thoroughly.
- evil-step-sister — Thanks I hope that it lives up to your expectations and I also hope that this one is better for spelling and grammar. Unfortunately neither are a strong point of mine. Anyway good luck to you as well I'm sure we'll both do fine.
- xXxXStilesKuchikiXx – thank you and I hope you enjoy the next one to
- keptinassmerica – thank you I hope I can live up to that and also thanks very much for the compliment
- Reading-Stories-Only – my idea exactly ;) thank you for reviewing. It made e get my but in gear and get this chapter finished. It's been sitting looking at me for a while.
- Athena818 thank you very much. I agree Lucifer redemption stories are the best (I am absolutely not biased)
- Guest – Thaaaaaaaaannnnnjs for the yaaaaaaaass
Also on another note I'm going to be referring to him as Capernaum from now on ... Until they find out who he is at least. After that I haven't decided if he will stay Capernaum or go back to being Lucifer.
Harri out
Capernaum sat in the plane and watched with a raised eyebrow as Steve jumped out.
"what an impulsive guy" he muttered to himself
Then he decide to make himself useful and teleported the civilians out of the danger zone that had been created by the god and soldier fighting. When he'd finished evacuating the civilians, he stepped in to be part of the fight. He sent to grab Loki as the captain spin kicked him in the face.
Capernaum subdued him and made his superior strength known was Loki struggled
"Hush now, be calm the is no point in struggling" Capernaum said quietly in Loki's ear.
"What are.." Loki was cut of by the music blaring from the plane.
It looked like another of his potential teammates had turned up. Iron man, and arriving in a way that the reports he'd read were normal for the eccentric multi billionaire (he'd hoped they had been exaggerated). Apparently it was also true about starks impulsiveness as he shot one if his repulsor blasts at the still struggling Loki... who was still in his arms.
Capernaum though it best that he let Loki go as the beam hit him so rather Loki being stuck against an immovable object he could dissapate some of the force of the hit... by flying though the air and crashing into a set of stairs.
Part of the beam hit him and burnt of parts of his 'lovely' new suit. Capernaum felt like rolling his eyes. Instead he raised his eyebrow at stark.
"Now now, is that anyway to treat an ally" sassed Capernaum "if you wanted to see my fabulous abbs that badly you could at least have brought me a drink first."
Iron man landed heavily and ungracefully next to him and shifted his visor up "don't get your pants in a not Barbie, I'll get you a new uniform"
Capernaum's eyebrow easier further up his forehead and fixed his suit with a flick of his fingers
"Or not" stark said shortly "who are you anyway?"
"Guys! If you don't mind we are in the middle of something here" shouted Steve.
"yea, giggs up reindeer games" snarked Toni focusing his repulsors back on Loki.
Capernaum strode back up towards Loki incase he diddn't comply. Instead Loki lifted his hands in surrender and his armour melts away. Loki's eyes never left Capernaum, he seemed in awe and confused.
Then Capernaum realised that Loki was looking at the illusions that he'd woven around himself. As he came around to hold Loki's shoulders while Steve put the restraints on him that Capernaum could sense the sudden shock twisting off Loki. Capernaum looked at Loki's face, Loki was looking at his wings.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Loki remained silent as they loaded going the plane and took off and it wasn't until ten minuets later that he broke his silence.
Capernaum had seated himself opposite Loki while Toni and Steve had Ben discussing the capture of the god bring 'too easy'.
"What are you ?" Loki's voice was barely stinger than a whisper. "the power I can sense from you ... it's more than I can truly comprehend. Greater than anything, I have ever sensed before"
That must have been it then it was not that Loki could see his wings, but that they were the a manifestation of his power. Loki was still quite special to have been able to sense it. Capernaum decided to look closer at Loki. This god was obviously intelligent and quite powerful. And Capernaum had realised that he should not be so arrogant as to assume superiority. After all Loki was basically an alternate version of his beloved younger brother Gabriel.
The first thing he noticed was that Loki was also covering himself in an illusion, so he broke it away. Beneath it Loki as battered and bruised, his hair which had seemed well kept was matted with blood (likely his own), dirt and grime. His cloths were ripped greyed and dirtied. He was quite badly injured and though most of his wounds had been tended to none of it was any better than a haphazard field dressing.
Capernaum delved a little deeper and into Loki's mind some things just weren't adding up. He found mind control from two different things. One called the Other and another called Thanos. And beneath that again was a madness curse that had a frost bitten feeling to it.
Not taking his eyes of Loki Capernaum called the rest of the plains attention "guys he's under mind control"
Steve and Toni walked over to them. "how do you know that. You a magician or something blondie" asked Toni.
Capernaum felt a burst of annoyance "no stark. But I can sense as manipulate energy in all its forms. But if you wish to put in such a small minded way. Yes I am a 'magician'" he replied with a glare, been adding in the air quotes.
"Anyway, I'm going to remove them if it's alright with you" Capernaum wasn't really asking their permission but he thought he'd be polite.
Getting no resistance from his now interested fellow Avengers he turned back to Loki.
He focused himself and reached forward, placing his fingers on Loki's head. He searched out the links connecting Loki's mind to is masters and enforced his grace pushing on the bonds till they stressed and broke. He had to be carful not to harm Loki though he proved to be a bit tougher than a normal human being anyway.
All that seemed to happen on the outside was a particularly bright flash of light. Next he dug in deeper, down to the madness curse. Looking into Loki's now green eyes, he physically pulled this one. The skin of Loki's face around his fingers turned blue an his eyes red and then finally as he took his fingers away it followed a flurry of snow following and eventually dissipating into nothing.
"Feeling better now Loki" he asked the now free man who was looking wide eyed and relieved.
"Much better... there are not words enough to thank you. You have my eternal gratitude"
Capernaum smiled "don't worry too much about it"
Loki turned to look at the others in the plane " I will also do whatever I can to make up for all the wrong doings I have committed under the influence of those spells"
Tony, Steve and Natasha though please seemed, a little sceptical they ended up spending the next ten minuets in not speaking to one another. Capernaum just listened as Natasha relayed all that had just happened to eye patch.
Only a little time later he sensed a storm gathering around them and lightning begin to flash around them. Capernaum could sense something off about the lightning. Loki seemed to know what it was and looked more than a little anxious.
"what's wrong" joked stark "scared of a little lightning" Loki gave a nervous tight lipped smile
"Not of the lightning" Loki grimaced "but of what will undoubtabley follow "
With that there was a thud as something landed on the roof of the plane. Stark seemed to be determined to prove himself stupid and entirely to impulsive as he simply waltzed down and opened the hatch! Allowing a tall blond being with an impressively billowing cape entry.
Just as stark was about to attack as the blonde grabbed Loki, Capernaum stepped in grasping the blondes shoulders and manoeuvring him to put him down in the seat beside Loki. Capernaum then lent over and shut the door of the jet.
" if you please I've had quite enough stupidity for one day" yeah he added a pointed glare in Starks direction. "if you would please not overreact, assuming I am correct and you are Thor we are all going to be needed at the same place anyway"
With a sigh Capernaum set himself down again and folded his arms behind his head to lent back against the side of the plane to nap lightly.
Loki and Thor talked among themselves. Babbling at each other just how sorry each of them were for their actions and so on so forth. When quite unexpectedly Thor shouted angrily. " we must get your wounds properly dressed brother"
Capernaum felt a little guilty he hadn't considered help painful the gods wounds must have been.
" we only have basic medical supplies on the jet" explained Natasha " the best we could do is redress the bandages or possibly give him some stitches but I don't know how well that will work, I'm not exactly a medical professional for god's"
Capernaum cleared his throat looking slightly sheepish " actually, I'm sorry, I completely forgot that healing was one of my abilities"
All eyes turn to him and he shifted uncomfortably. slightly angry at himself that he forgotten about it and also been completely and worried about the gods injuries, which a very plainly bad and some looked infected.
Standing and walking over here once again placed is index and middle fingers on Loki's head, curious as to how this act that he'd watched countless times would differ in this world. The act was just as instant has all the times it had been before, however. For a couple of seconds after the newly healed skin glow brightly. Also Loki was now freshly washed and clothing had been repaired.
Everyone's eyes widened.
" fucking hell" whispered Stark under his breath.
Other variations of this were being muttered by the other people in the jet. Is favourite being from Steve with his almost inaudible " Jesus"
Loki was also amazed and patting himself down in disbelief.
Turning and walking pasties so he could go and find out how far away from the helicarrier they were he whispered in his ear " not quite"
OoOoOoOoOoOoO
Capernaum leaning back into his chair with his feet up on the table. Loki was telling his story, how the Madness case having likely been placed on him by the Jotun that had grabbed his arm. The ensuing shenanigans (not Loki's own words) that occurred both on Asgard and on Earth. The Business of Loki's torture and mind control by the other and Thanos.
He'd explained time for him coming here. He'd meant to demoralize them, destroy them at the heart. Finish them off before they managed to become a threat. Clint was supposedly going to be organising his rescue, depending upon why Loki was being kept.
" and how exactly..." demanded Fury placed his hands on the table and levelled his one good eye at Capernaum. " ...were you able to do all of this"
Capernaum pulled his feet from the table and replace them with his elbows, giving eye patch a cheeky smile he said " it's just one of my many talents eyepatch"
" just how many talents do you have. And just what are you that you have this many talents?!" Fury almost shouted you could tell almost wanted to scream.
" you're a celestial... aren't you? Asked Loki. " I mean that's the only thing I could think of that is powerful enough to be what you are"
Capernaum tilted his head, curious that they were 'celestial' beings as much as that word would have been used in his old world to describe Angels or even Father.
" I'm afraid I don't know what's celestial means to you exactly" Capernaum said, making it a slight question at the end. Wondering to himself at the same time, what he was going to tell them.
He refused to lie. That was something he'd never done. Twisted the truth, yes. Almost obscenely sell during his humans are disgusting phase. His pondering was soon interrupted.
" celestial's are a species that are both ancient and hold untold cosmic power. The ones that we know of are around 2000 feet tall."
Capernaum leaned back in his chair and pursed his lips bringing his fingers together in a steeple shape that rested on his lips.
" are celestial beings humanoid?"
"Aye" nodded Thor a curious gleam in his eyes that was echoed in the eyes of all around them. Even Tony who had just walked in with Phil remained uncharacteristically silent.
Capernaum decided quickly.
" that does sound a lot like my species" he agreed slowly " tell I am afraid to say that they are also very much not like myself and my brothers and sisters at all."
The occupants of the room sat or stood up a little straighter Capernaum's eyes eyes sweat around the table underpinned each of his listeners in place with his penetrating stare.
" for a start I suppose I should explain that this body is not actually what I look like at all. It is just a medium by which I can communicate and interact with you without harming you. I am in reality only very vaguely humanoid. Even then I am not carbon based I mostly I'm just light."
Capernaum thought for a second. " also I am quite a bit larger than 2000 feet in fact I am larger than the earth"
" but that would make you over 50 million feet tall" Bruce interrupted startled.
" quite a bit larger than that" Capernaum said distractedly waving his hand.
" so not only are you telling me" Fury began " that you are capable of teleportation, somehow being able to warp reality, apparently easily countering mind control and from what I heard. Time travel!" Fury's voice was as panicked as it could get, admittedly not that hysterical. But very amusing. " can anything even hurt you. I mean Starks repulsor blast I didn't even singe you"
Capernaum considered it. On the one hand telling them may give a clue. On the other he held the only thing could kill him.
" there are a few things that can stop me. Some sigils that can banish me, though not permanently. Burning holy oil in a circle around me will trap me, and I would die of I were to cross that circle. And then there's this"
Capernaum held up his arm and from the skin tight sleeve that obviously wasn't holding anything, his archangel blade popped out.
"I would die if I were stabbed with this blade" spinning it around in his hand making a snap decision he drew the ever sharp blade over his finger.
"The hell" Toni muttered as he strode up to him to look at the cut closer. It was glowing brightly (almost to brightly to look at) and making a high pitched noise. Capernaum rubbed his thumb over the cut and it healed.
Most of the people at the table were looking slightly worried so Capernaum decided to try and reassure them.
"I suppose I am a being of untold power" Capernaum started (defiantly not the right thing g to say, they just looked more worried now.) "Though as I have told Fury before. I am only here to help, I will do nothing to harm you"
At least now everyone looked slightly more reassured and less like they were sitting next to a ticking time bomb.
OoOoOoOoOoOoO
It was some time later again when everyone had been discussing strategy after strategy as to how they would prevent Clint And his team from doing to much damage when Thor decided to break the monotony.
"I have been meaning to ask" Thor questioned as he leaned toward Capernaum " I can sense an illusion around you. Why do you hide from us? If it is as you say then you have nothing to fear from us"
Capernaum let his head fall and hang below hi shoulders over the back of the chair in exasperation. Fury's razor sharp base was fixed on him once more.
"I diddnt was to frighten anyone" explained Capernaum holding to placate them.
"What's wrong Barbie, your nose to big? Pimples?" stark snarked.
Capernaum glared at him and then sighed. "The human race has known my species almost intimately for over 3 thousand years. It would cause mass hysteria if I were to just walk about as I am"
Stark looked excited now and almost bounced in his seat " ooooh ! Ooooh ! Are you a vampire?!"
Capernaum and Fury in tandem gave him a withering glare.
"What are you that would be so awful" asked Fury with an eyebrow raised.
"I would like to believe that it is not so awful. Though I have been around longer than the universe has been alive and humans still continually surprised me." Capernaum paused to let that think in for a second. "humans have always both revered and been afraid of us often at the same time. I told Fury when we first met that there are a few constants between all universes and realities. There is always a great all powerful force or being. The other are those set apart from the rest of creation to serve that being."
Steve failed dramatically in realisation. "your talking about God" he choked out.
"Are you trying to tell me your God!" Stark laughed though there was slight apprehension in his eyes
Capernaum was shocked that this was the conclusion that they had jumped to. " No! No, not at all, God was my creator, my father"
"Then your an angel" breathed the still sheet white Steve.
Capernaum rubbed his hand down his face, deciding to get hit over with he released the illusion he had held over them. All they would really see was a massive amount of feathers that shined like mother of pearl under the sun. Deciding to give them a bit of a show he stretched his wings out, surprising them with three pairs of massive wings.
Once everyone was done gawping he folded them again but diddnt bother putting up the illusion.
"Yes I am an angel"
There was a slight awkward silence then Bruce spoke up "so then, the Bible ... That's real?" he asked.
Capernaum sighed "yes and no. The Bible is just a book some of the things in there are true most of the lessons taught by the son of man should be listened to however it's basically a book written by extremely drunk men that could only barely here the word of God my brother Gabriel spoke to him"
He heard Steve choke slightly. If this was the man's reaction to just these little titbits he really diddnt want to know what he would do when he found out who he was.
"Anyway shouldn't we talk about this later. Don't we have an army on its way?"
"That is true" size Loki "though we should also perhaps think about how we will halt the army"
Just as Loki said this there was a massive rumble and all the screens around them started to blade warnings
"Engine B is down !"
