Roarhaven, Ireland-
Skulduggery Pleasant sat in the interrogation room facing the shaking man.
"What happened to my partner Merit?"
"There… there was a man. He said he'd kill my wife if I didn't do what he wanted. He made me tap your partner so she would be susceptible to an invention in the other world. Then he made me bring through Sanguine."
"Who was the man?"
"Umm… he had golden eyes,"
The skeleton cursed.
"Who made the invention?"
"A Tony Stark."
Skulduggery paused and considered all his options. No matter which one he took, they all ended in Stark with broken bones and Sanguine in a cell.
"Can you take me there?"
"Yes."
Stark Tower, Ireland-
"Well, this is awkward."
Valkyrie had thrown fire! And stopped Loki in mid-air! And there were two of her!
"Answers, now," Steve said.
"I'm afraid that's not possible,"
"Why?" Steve asked
"Some secrets are not for you to know, for no one to know."
"Tell us, or we hand you over to Fury, and his methods will be a lot less civilised."
"Are you threatening me Barton?"
"I am,"
"Fine, spoiler alert magic is real."
Tony laughed.
"What are you, a witch?" he said through giggles.
"No, I'm a sorcerer or mage. I practice elemental magic and necromancy."
"And what does that let you do?" Bruce asked.
"Elemental magic is the four elements, and necromancy is death magic, shadow control that sort of thing." She paused to consider her next words. "Necromancy needs to be channelled through a totem, in my case my ring. It is arguably the strongest form of magic."
"Who regulates this in your world?"
"Sorcerers have their own governments, Sanctuaries, they operate under two elders and a grand mage. I'm a detective by order of the Irish Sanctuary."
"What! You're just a kid," Valkyrie scoffed at Steve's comment.
"Please I've been doing this since I was twelve,"
The Avengers stared at her in horror, then Fury walked in, with Natasha and a strike team.
