Before Superman or Wonder Woman could even digest what stood before them, the creature charged at them in a full speed. Wonder Woman flew out of the way just in time but Superman was not as lucky because when he tried to fly away Hulk caught hold of his cape and slammed him down into the ground.

"HULK SMASH!" the creature screamed as he began pounding Superman further into the ground.

"Get off him!" Wonder Woman cried, throwing Mjölnir at the beast. The hammer hit Hulk in the face and sent him sprawling a few feet away. The hammer then went flying back into her hands before she went over to help Superman out of the hole in the ground.

"Superman, are you okay?"

"Uhhh…I feel like I just fought a few rounds with Darkseid…" Superman groaned, rubbing his head. "I think it's time I get rid of the cape-

"HULK HATES THAT HAMMER!" Hulk suddenly screamed over them and lunged at them again but Wonder Woman grabbed Superman by the arm and pulled him up out the way. She dropped him off on top the roof where Batman had disappeared on earlier and flew back down, throwing the hammer back at Hulk.

However, Mjölnir didn't hit the Hulk but instead flew in another direction into the hands of Thor, who then summoned lighting and directed it at her.

Wonder Woman tried to shield herself with her bracelets but it wasn't enough to protect her from the massive lighting blast. It threw her backwards across the street, she stumbled to stand up right.

"I'll take care of the Wonder Woman, you get him," Thor told Hulk before flying off after her. Hulk snorted at Thor, annoyed since he didn't like being ordered by the puny blonde man but he jumped up towards the building anyways where he saw the woman had drop the man off. He only got half way up the building though before Superman zoomed down and tackled him.

"You caught me off guard," Superman growled as he punched him across the face. "But that won't happen again!" He then slammed him down on the ground and threw a few more punches at him.

However, Hulk grabbed his fist in a crushing grip before head-butting him away. "HULK DON'T NEED YOU OFF GUARD! HULK THE STRONGEST!"

Superman only glared at him but then abruptly disappeared using his super speed and began running around Hulk as fast as he could, trying to create a tornado.

Hulk looked around confused but found himself trying to hold onto the ground as the winds began picking him. Eventually, he couldn't hold anymore and was thrown around in the tornado. Superman then began punching him around over his body in lighting speed before grabbing a hold of him and throwing Hulk with all his strength.

Hulk's body went flying in such a fast speed, S.H.I.E.L.D. lost sight of where he went on their computers.

Superman wiped his forehead, feeling a little wearied but went flying off again when he noticed Thor flying away with Wonder Woman over his shoulder.

"Let her go now and I won't do to you want I just did to your green friend!" Superman threatened as he gained on him.

Thor didn't response and Superman got right on his tail and was about to grab him when suddenly he was blasted away by some kind of ray and Iron Man showed up right in front of him.

"Don't worry, he'll come back for you later," Iron Man smiled, positioning his Repulsor Rays at him. He had gotten his suit back online and decided to go back into battle even with his broken arm after the Batman had been brought to a secure S.H.I. . location.

"Where is he taking her and where is Batman?! Superman yelled, eyes turning red as he also x-rayed him. "And if try blasting me again, I'll crush you like a tin can."

"At a shield facility," Iron Man answered in a matter-of-fact tone. "Where you'll be joining them shortly."

Superman grabbed Iron Man by the throat in a super speed motion and growled, "You will take me to it now if you don't want your other arm broken!"

"I'll take my chances," Iron Man retorted before firing his chest unibeam at Superman. It blasted Superman away and before he could recover an arrow was shot at him, which turned into a net and encased him. Superman then yelled out when the net electrode him as well.

"I was wondering what you guys were doing," Iron Man commented as the quinjet flew by him with Hawkeye standing in the open back of it.

Superman gritted his teeth in irritation and broke out the net before firing his heat lasers from his eyes at the quinjet, hitting one of the wings. The quinjet spiraled down towards the ground, uncontrollably and Iron Man went after it but Superman fired his lasers at him as well, burring a part of his shoulder armor off. Superman then caught him again and tore off his chest piece as he snarled, "Take me to them now!"

"Didn't you hear me before? You'll be there with them soon," Iron Man grunted, looking at something behind him. Superman noticed and turned around to see what he was looking at but a bolt of lighting hit him before he could see it was Thor. The lighting also hit Iron Man but Superman got the worse of it since he lost consciousness and fell towards the ground.

Thor caught Superman in mid-air, while Iron Man clumsily flew over to the crash site of the quinjet, feeling faint himself. Black Widow and Hawkeye had gotten out okay since Captain America had pulled them out the wreckage.

"Where the hell have you been, Rogers, taking a nap?" Iron Man rumbled, sullenly since he just realized the full extent of his injuries. He was going to be sore for days.

"Stark, don't even start-

"Enough!" Thor thundered as he came down with Superman over his shoulder. "The day has been won, let us not fight among ourselves."

"I wouldn't start celebrating yet," they all heard Superman whispered before he kicked Thor away. He then took a big gulp of air and froze Thor in place with his ice breath.

"Well shit," Iron Man sighed, not believing his eyes. "Did he just -

"If you all are finished now," Superman bellowed, floating above them. "I would appreciate it if one of you showed me where you have taken my friends."

"Well since you asked so nicely how could we refuse?" Iron Man retorted, sarcastically. He looked around at everyone with a gleam in his eyes then solemnly added, "But we came here to neutralize you and your friends and that's what we are going to do." Captain America then threw his shield at him before Black Widow shot her guns at him and Hawkeye shot exploding arrows at him. It created enough of a distraction for Iron Man to then use his lasers to unfreeze Thor.

Yet, the objects thrown at Superman didn't even faze him as he simply used his super breath to blow them away along with the people who were propelling them at him. But before he could stop Iron Man from unfreezing Thor, Hulk suddenly jumped out of nowhere and tackled him into the ground.

"You again!" Superman growled, trying to block the beast's rampaging blows. "I should have sent you to the-

Hulk picked up Superman's body and began slamming it around on the ground just like he did with Loki but this time it was much more violent. He threw Superman into the ground and before Superman could recover from Hulk's brutal assault, Thor summoned the biggest lighting bolt, the Avengers have ever seen and directed it straight to the man.

"What the hell?" Iron Man whispered when the man managed to stand up even from all that. He was swaying around a bit but this 'Superman' was not backing down. However, the Hulk punched hard in the head finally finally knocking the man out.


OoOoOoOoO


"Sir, the council wants to talk to you," Agent Hill told Nick Fury through via video cam. Agent Hill was still on helicarrier and was put in charge, while Nick Fury and a large chunk of Shield's best interrogators went with him to a secure secret base where the alien visitors were being held.

"Tell them we are handing it," Nick snapped, not wanting to deal with 'the council' right now.

"Yes well…they want to handle it, sir," she retorted. "They want them, along with Loki."

Nick sighed, feeling a headache coming on.

"I'll try to keep them busy but I would cross examine every agent there, sir, we can't have any sleeper agents like last time," Agent Hill frowned before signing off right as Black Widow and Hawkeye entered the conference room.

"Are they secure?" Nick asked.

"We think so," Hawkeye responded. "We just don't know if the restraints can hold them, especially that Superman. I guess we'll know when they wake up."

"Were you able to open the Batman's belt?" Nick was very interested by what was stored in Batman's belt since he wanted to find out more about that green rock Batman had taken out of his belt, which seemed to have weakened the Superman.

"No," Black Widow answered. "Nor were we able to open his jet or take his mask off. It shocks anyone who touches it or releases knockout gas and it also seems to have a locking contraption as well. His technology is very advance…"

"Maybe Banner and Stark can get through it," Hawkeye suggested.

Nick didn't say anything, he really didn't want to involve 'The Avengers' anymore with this but he had a feeling it would be hard to convince them otherwise.

"Okay I call Wonder Chick!" Tony announced when the doors of the conference opened again as the rest of the Avengers filed in. Everyone had injuries, except for Banner but Tony looked the worse out of the lot. His entire right side of his body was bandaged up since Batman had broken his arm and Superman had burned his shoulder with his heat vision, he was a mess but yet his same old self.

"Your not questioning anyone, Stark," Nick proclaimed. "Especially not her."

"If you think you're leaving us out of this, think again!" Tony protested. "We fought them so we should question them and find out who they are and where they came from."

"I agree," Thor declared. "I am not going anywhere until those question are answered. I do not think I have even encounter someone as powerful as that Superman, he could pose a threat to yours and my world alike."

"You're saying he's more powerful than a god?"" Banner asked, curiously.

"I just know that even All-Father does not even process powers like him."

"So what does that mean?" Steve asked.

"It means he is a threat and should not be trifled with."

"He didn't seem bent on Earth's destruction," Steve mentioned. "He just seemed confused and all he wanted was his friends back. I don't think he's a threat."

"Well I can't say the same about that Batman," Tony hissed, bitterly. "Something was off about that guy-

"I think you're just mad he was able to bypass your system and broke your arm," Black Widow interrupted with a smirk on her face.

"Oh I see you're still sour about that comment about you and Wonder Woman earlier-

"Okay enough," Nick shouted over them. "I'll assign all of you to question one of them and if you can't get anything from them then I'll send in the professionals."

"Oh thanks for having so much confidence in us," Tony commented, rolling his eyes.

"Stark, Banner, 'The Batman.' And if you two wouldn't mind taking a look at his technology as well it would be appreciated, we are having trouble figuring it out."

Tony sighed but Banner seemed content and stated, "His technology looked very impressive. I would love to look at it."

"It's not that impressive," Tony mumbled low.

"Black Widow, Hawkeye, you two can question the 'Wonder Woman."

Hawkeye teasingly winked at Stark, who just glared back at him.

"…and then Steve and Thor, Superman."

"May I also be present when the 'Wonder Woman' is being questioned?" Thor asked, earnestly. "I cannot explain it but there was something familiar about her."

Nick nodded.

"Oh so he gets what he wants?" Tony complained.

"Well he is a god," Black Widow shrugged.

"Actually Thor," Nick breathed, realizing something. "There is another person I want you to question as well."


OoOoOoOoOoO


"…There will be no realm, no barren moon, no crevice where he can not find you…" Loki heard a voice whisper in his ear but was convinced he was just imagining things or hoped he was.

How much longer are we going to stay here? Loki thought, irritably. Him and Thor were about to go back to Asgard when suddenly he was brought here instead and thrown into this cell. This cell was more secure than the one on the helicarrier since he was practically in a metal box but it was the muzzle and chains he still had on that were the things that were keeping him in this cell since they were magical reinforced. Though, he didn't feel secure here, he felt paranoid. He kept hearing those whispers like 'The Other' was in the room with him.

He would feel more secure and safe on Asgard since jail cells on Asgard are near impossible to get in to but here on Earth he felt out in the open. He hated to admit it but he wanted to go home. He was so afraid what would happened to him if he didn't leave Earth soon.

"You think you know pain?" he heard the whispers say again. "He will make you long for something as sweet as pain-

Loki then felt a burning sensation on his neck and jumped when suddenly the door of cell opened, revealing Thor and Black Widow.

He tried not to look happy but he was glad they were finally leaving this awful planet.

"We're not leaving yet," Thor told him, which made Loki sag a little. "But we require your assistance and if you help us then All-Father might lighten your sentence." He then removed the muzzle from his head.

"Tell us if know anything about these beings, the portal they came out of or anything at all," Black Widow said before taking out a small computer pad and showing him video clips of the fight between Darkseid, Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman from earlier.

The portal didn't look the same but when he saw Darkseid, his eyes widened. The being reminded him of Thanos and it made his heart skip a beat.

Black Widow noticed. "Do you know him?"

Loki blinked and stared at the alien but whispered, "No I don't know any of them nor I have ever seen a portal like this one before."

"You looked like you recognize him," Black Widow remarked, pointing to Darkseid.

"I do not."

"You better not be lying," Thor hissed, crossly.

"Then I don't know why you came to me then," Loki snarled back.

Thor suddenly grabbed Loki's throat and slammed him against the wall. "Do not test me, you will tell us what we want to know."

"I do not know any of them, honest," Loki gritted through his teeth. "Sorry to disappoint you again, brother."

Thor grunted in annoyance before dropping him and grumbling, "We may not be leaving anytime soon then, brother."

No! Loki almost shouted out loud. He had to leave this planet!

Thor gave him a concerned look, sensing his brother's uneasiness but didn't say anything as he and Black Widow left his cell.

Loki sighed and tried to wipe his forehead but couldn't since his chains prevented him. He didn't know how much longer he could take being here, he felt so unsafe and vulnerable. Though, at least one good thing came out of this, Thor had forgotten to put his muzzle back on, which had been chafing his face. But right after he thought that, Black Widow suddenly came back into his cell and got uncomfortably close to him.

"If you're lying," Black Widow breathed in almost a sultry voice as she picked up the muzzle off the bench and slammed it roughly back on his face. "I'll hurt, you slowly, intimately and in ways you didn't think were even possible."


OoOoOoOoOoO


Next chapter interrogations and more Batman ;)

Oh and since this is taking place after the alien invasion in 'The Avengers,' I didn't write in any panicked civilians since I assumed that most of Manhattan has been evacuated for clean up and reconstruction so yeah if any of you noticed or anything ;p
