Thank you to everyone who has favorited, followed or reviewed this fic so far.
Chaos Sorcerer: Thank you for the review. Glad you liked it. Glad you found me showing the Marvel side's power in "Fight as one" satisfying. Yeah, I guess Captain America will be the best fighter in this verse. My 3 favorite hand-to-hand fighters in the MCU- Steve Rogers, Matt Murdock and Melinda May. I have a feeling Jameson will say something like that. Yeah, JK Simmons was legendary in the role. Yeah, friendships will form. We'll see about Matt and Banner's conversation. Haven't really though about X-Men, Fantastic Four or Wonder Woman. I will think about them. Yeah, they will clash. Enjoy the chapter.
Chapter 4- Another Asgardian
Natasha flew the Quinjet towards the S.H.I.E.L.D. base with Matt, Oliver, Steve, Tony, another S.H.I.E.L.D. agent and a bound Loki.
"Didn't he say anything?" Fury asked via communication system.
"Not a word", Natasha informed him.
"Just get in here", Fury ordered, sounding desperate, which was a rare thing, "We're low on time."
"I don't like it", Steve whispered to Tony.
"What? Rock of Ages giving up so easily?" Tony asked sarcastically.
"I don't remember it being that easy", Steve said.
"Yeah", Oliver said in agreement, "This guy packs a wallop."
"Still", Tony said dryly to Steve, "You were pretty spry, for an older fellow. What's your thing? Pilates?"
"What?" a confused Steve asked.
"It's like calisthenics", Tony explained, "You might have missed a couple things, you know, doing time as a Capsicle."
Steve clearly looked offended.
"Come on, Mr. Stark", Matt said to him as calmly as he could, "He awoke 2 weeks ago into a completely new world. Try to be a little sensitive."
"Sensitive ain't my thing, Devil guy", Tony told him with a smirk.
"Fury didn't tell me he was calling you in", Steve told Tony.
"Yeah, there's a lot of things Fury doesn't tell you", Tony said.
That moment, lightning cracked in the sky.
"Where's this coming from?" Natasha muttered.
"It was pretty sudden", Matt shared her sentiments.
Looking at Loki's unnerved expression, Steve asked, "What's the matter? Scared of a little lightning?"
"I'm not overly fond of what follows", Loki told him.
As Steve, Oliver and Tony exchanged confused looks, Matt suddenly said, "Someone's coming."
That moment, the Quinjet shook as someone landed on it above. Steve and Tony quickly put on their mask and helmet respectively.
Tony opened the backdoor as Steve asked, "What're you doing?"
As soon as it was opened, a tall, blonde figure with long hair landed there. He wore ancient battle armor with a red cloak flowing behind him. In his hand, he carried a hammer that looked like a cube on a stick.
Matt heard Loki's heart beating at unnatural rate on seeing the blonde man. Clearly, he was afraid of him.
As Tony tried to fire, the man hit him with his hammer, sending him flying back by a few feet.
He grabbed Loki by the throat and twirling his hammer, flew off with him.
"Now there's that guy", Tony groaned as he got up.
"Another Asgardian?" Natasha asked.
"Think the guy's a friendly?" Steve asked.
"Doesn't matter", Tony explained, "If he frees Loki or kills him, the Tesseract's lost."
"He's got a point", Oliver agreed with him.
"Stark, we need a plan of attack", Steve pointed out.
Standing on the edge, Tony said, "I have a plan. Attack."
He then flew off after them.
"I'd sit this one out", Natasha told the three of them.
"I don't see how I can", Steve said as he started putting on a parachute along with Matt.
"These guys come from legends", Natasha explained, "They're basically Gods."
Matt then said, "I'm pretty sure there's only one God, and he doesn't dress like that."
"I guess you're a man of faith too", Steve said to Matt.
"Why're you going?" Oliver asked Matt.
"Uh, to play peacemaker", Matt quickly clarified before him and Steve jumped off with the parachutes on their backs.
"I'm going too", Oliver said as he jumped off and fired an arrow which turned into a parachute.
Thor slammed Loki onto the ground and he slid back by a few feet. Loki groaned and smirked at the same time. He groaned because of the pain he felt on being slammed onto the ground and smirked because of who had slammed him.
"Where's the Tesseract?" Thor growled.
"I missed you too", Loki said while taking deep breaths.
"Do I look to be in a gaming mood?" the God of Thunder asked as his legendary temper flared.
"Oh, you should thank me", Loki said dryly as he lifted his head up and managed to sit on his knees, "With the Bifrost gone, how much dark energy did the All-Father have to muster to conjure you here? To your precious earth."
As Loki tried to get up, Thor grabbed him roughly by the throat and said, "I thought you dead."
"Did you mourn?" Loki asked emotionlessly.
"We all did", Thor told him as some emotion entered his voice, "Our father..."
"Your father", Loki corrected him as he raised his finger. Thor let him go, the hurt and pain in his eyes visible even in the dark of the night. Loki clearly knew how to get under his adoptive brother's skin.
"He did tell you my true parentage, did he not?" Loki asked as he walked past him.
Turning to look at Loki, Thor followed after him and tried to reach out to him by reminding him of everything they had gone through together as brothers, "We were raised together. We played together, we fought together. Do you remember none of that?"
Turning to look at Thor with a haunted look, Loki said, "I remember a shadow. Living in the shade of your greatness."
Thor looked at Loki in disbelief as he continued, "I remember you tossing me into an abyss."
Thor couldn't believe what he was hearing. Clearly, something was wrong with his brother as he was twisting what had actually happened.
"I who was and should be king!"
"So you take the world I love as recompense for your imagined slights?" Thor asked rhetorically, subtly pointing out to Loki how he was twisting the facts for his own purposes as he marched towards him with a raised finger, "No, the earth is under my protection, Loki."
Loki let out a humorless laugh, "And you're doing a marvelous job with that. The humans slaughter each other in droves, while you ideally fret. I mean to rule them. That's why should I not..."
"You think yourself above them?" Thor asked as he shook his head, though he already knew the answer.
"Well, yes", Loki said in a tone that sounded both clarifying and mocking.
"Then you miss the truth of ruling, brother", Thor said, saddened by the fact that Loki had forgotten his father's teachings, "A throne would suit you ill."
Loki snarled and shoved Thor away before walking towards the cliff, "I've seen worlds you've never known about. I have grown, Odinson, in my exile."
Loki's emphasis on Odinson was all Thor needed to know about what Loki thought of their brotherhood.
Loki continued ranting, "I have seen the true power of the Tesseract. And when I wield it..."
"Who showed you this power?" Thor asked as he caught that little detail which most would have missed while marching towards Loki, "Who controls the would be king?"
"I am a king!" Loki snapped.
"Not here!" Thor snapped back as he grabbed Loki by the shoulders and shook him, "You give up the Tesseract! You give up this poisonous dream!"
He then grabbed the back of Loki's neck and adopting a slightly softer tone, he begged, the pain evident in his voice, "You come home."
Loki stared at Thor for a second. Some emotion could be seen in his eyes. Was it shame? Or regret? Thor thought to himself that maybe his brother was still inside somewhere. Unfortunately, all his hope and optimism disappeared the next moment when Loki laughed mockingly.
"I do not have it", he simply said as he shook his head.
Thor roughly let him go, his facial expression turning into a scowl.
"You need the cube to bring me home", Loki pointed out as Thor summoned Mjolnir into his hand, "But I've sent it off. I know not where."
Pointing Mjolnir at Loki, Thor warned, "You listen well, brother-"
He was cut off when a flying figure rammed into him and both of them were sent flying off.
"I'm listening."
Thor was thrown on the ground and sent rolling to a distance as Iron Man landed in front of him.
Thor got up as Tony raised his visor.
In an indignant voice, Thor commanded, "Do not touch me again."
"Then don't take my stuff", Tony said casually.
"You have no idea what you're dealing with", Thor tried to reason.
"Uh...Shakespeare in the park?" Tony asked jokingly with a smirk.
As Thor looked at him with slight amusement, Tony mocked him, "Doth mother know, you weareth her drapes?"
Getting serious again, Thor said, "This is beyond you, metal man. Loki will face Asgardian justice."
"He gives up the cube and he's all yours", Tony told him, "Until then", he lowered his visor again, "Stay out of the way."
As Thor looked away, Tony turned to walk and muttered, "Tourist."
That was it!
As Tony walked away, he heard a humming sound behind him. Just as he turned, he was hit hard by Mjolnir and sent crashing into some trees.
"Okay", he groaned.
As he slowly got back up, Thor called Mjolnir back.
As he twirled his legendary hammer, Tony fired a repulsor at him, slamming him into a tree. Before Thor could recover, Tony flew into him at full speed and kicked him hard, shattering the tree behind him as he was sent crashing into the ground. Mjolnir fell a few feet away from him.
Thor got back up and summoned Mjolnir into his hand. He then pointed it towards the sky. A powerful lightning bolt descended from the sky and hit the tip of Mjolnir, empowering it.
Pointing it at Tony, he fired a lightning bolt. It hit him, making him stagger back as his suit let off sparks. When Thor stopped, Tony groaned.
That moment, Tony saw his power capacity increasing and JARVIS said, "Power at 400% capacity."
"How about that."
Raising his hands, he fired powerful repulsors at Thor, sending him flying back again. Thor managed to steady himself and the two flew at each other.
Tony grabbed Thor and flew him into a hill, smashing his face into it as he flew up. Thor elbowed him hard, making him let go.
The two struggled again as they flew towards the ground, crashing through some trees while Mjolnir dropped from Thor's hands.
The two got back up and Thor punched Tony, whipping his face to the other side. Tony recovered and tried to punch back but Thor grabbed both of his hands, holding them in a deadlock.
As the two struggled, Thor pressed the Titanium hard, slowly crushing it into flat metal. Tony noticed and fired a repulsor point blank at Thor's face, making him let go as he staggered back slightly.
Tony head-butted him but he was barely affected. Thor then head-butted him in retaliation, making him fly back by a few feet.
Tony steadied himself and flew at Thor, grabbing him and throwing him at a tree, making him fall down. Thor got back up and charged. He easily dodged a punch before punching Tony on the side. Lifting him into the air, he slammed him hard on the ground.
Summoning Mjolnir into his hand, he brought it down on Tony but he flew off at the last moment while Thor fell down due to his own momentum.
Tony flew back at him and punched him on the face. The two then stood facing each other, ready to deck it out even more.
That moment, an arrow flew between them and exploded. The two turned to look at the source. Steve, Oliver and Matt stood there on a higher level.
"That is enough!" Oliver growled, "We need to stop fighting and start talking!"
The three then jumped down.
"Now, we don't know what you plan on doing here", Steve said to Thor.
"I've come here to put an end to Loki's schemes!" Thor said matter of fact.
"Then prove it", Steve said, "Put that hammer down."
"Uh...yep!" Tony said before contradicting himself, "No! Bad call! He loves his hammer!"
Thor sent him flying off with a hit of Mjolnir.
"You want me to put the hammer down?" Thor asked Steve angrily.
"No one needs to get hurt", Matt tried to reason, "Please stop. We are on the same side."
But Thor didn't listen and leapt at Steve with Mjolnir raised.
Steve put his shield in the way to defend. The legendary hammer and the indestructible shield clashed. The impact was almost disastrous.
A huge shockwave emitted from the clash and sent Thor, Matt and Oliver flying off while the trees too were uprooted and fell down.
A few minutes later, Tony recovered from the literal hammering he had received and looked walked to where Steve and Thor were standing.
Steve walked over to Oliver and Matt. Oliver's bow was lying a few feet away and some arrows from his quiver had also been scattered and there. Matt's glasses had been thrown away somewhere and it was impossible to find them now.
Oliver staggered a little and managed to get up before staggering over to pick up his bow and collect his arrows. Steve gave a hand to Matt and he accepted with a grateful nod, getting back up.
Turning to Thor, Steve asked, "Are we done here?"
Thor looked around at the destruction he had caused during the fight and finally nodded.
"I told you", Matt said to him, "Same side."
Now this chapter is done. Hopefully, from now on, all chapters will be this long.
Please review. I always appreciate your feedback.
