CH. 10 Meetings
The Asgardiens are now on their way to Stark Tower with the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier. Frigga and Sif were in a personal room talking, Fandral, Hogun and Volstagg were in the dining room, emptying the fridge clean. Loki was in the control room, looking through a window.
"What could have happened? That Odin gave me my powers and told me to take the others away. And what was that magical…" he was interrupted when his oaf of a brother shouted: "Loki! What are you doing, brother?" and came closer.
"Nothing of particular interest," he answered.
"Ah, you can see how beautiful Midgard is," and Thor looked through as well a goofy smile on his face.
"I guess," he answered halfhearted.
After a few seconds, Thor looked at his brother; a serious expression has been replaced with his smile.
"Loki…" he started and got the tricksters attention.
"What made you save us? Back on Asgard, you could have left us when you got your powers back. Why did you not? I am not complaining and saying that I should, but…" and was cut off by Loki.
"To tell the truth, I do not know. I guess the reason was in Odin's voice. He must have…" and he too was cut off by his brother embracing him.
This took him buy such surprised he was stunned for a minute.
"Thor…" he whispered.
Then he released his little brother, a bright smile of his face.
"You still see us as family do you not?" he asked.
The trickster shifted his gaze at the floor and whispered: "Yes, I do."
Those words made the thunder god feel better. He was glad Loki was not completely lost to them and that there was still hope for them to be a family again.
"How about, after all of this and Asgard is safe, we go on a horse ride?" the elder one asked.
"Than it's a promise," Loki smiled.
"Aye it is."
A moment later, an agent's voice came and said: "Sir, we have arrived in New York."
"Good, now get the Asgardiens and let's droop them off at Stark's.
After 10 minutes, Thor, Loki, Frigga, Sif, Fandral, Hogun and Volstagg were all gathered on the bridge. Fury was with them as the Helicarrier was levitating over Stark Tower.
"Gentlemen and Ladies, this is your stop. I believe Thor and Loki can get you down on the balcony. Good day," and went back inside to the control room.
"How do we do this?" Fandral asked.
"I shall teleport three of you, while Thor will fly two of you. I'll take the Queen, Lady Sif and Volstagg. And Thor can take Hogun and Fandral."
"So be it. Come friends," the Thunderer said and grabbed Fandral.
"Hogun you can ride on my back."
He nodded and put his arms around Thor's neck.
"And if you three will come closer, we'll be on our way," Loki said.
As they stepped to the trickster, the two brothers looked at one and other. They nodded and Thor swung his hammer and flew off, as Loki started to chant and they disappeared fro the bridge. A few moments later, Loki's group reappeared on the balcony, as Thor's arrived shortly after. As all of the Asgardiens were on now on the balcony, Thor looked at his brother.
"Let me warn you now brother. Iron man will not take you as a friend at first. But we will tell him of your mind control. And when that is done…" and was cut off by a ray hitting the younger brother knocking him to the floor.
As he looked at the entrance, he saw a flying armor of red and gold.
"Friend Stark. Cease your attack on Loki. He means no harm," and stepped in front of his brother.
"Yeah, and why is that. Give me one good reason why I shouldn't blast him off this balcony and watch him go splat on the ground?"
"He attacked against his own will," Thor explained.
"Oh really? And what controlled him if I can know?" his repulsors still aimed at the trickster.
"The Chitauri did," Frigg added.
Stark lowered his weapons and landed in front of Thor.
"Sorry, but you are?"
"She is the Queen of Asgard. Show some respect mortal," Sif barked.
"It is alright Sif. He could not have known," she said and looked at Tony.
"My name is Frigga. I have heard a lot of tales of you Man of Iron."
"Thanks and it's Iron man, Mrs." he corrected.
"But anyway why is he here?" and looked at Loki who got on his feet.
"He is the one who brought us here. We need the Avengers Tony," Thor answered.
"Well ma and Bruce are here, but Cupid and Spider are doing some special secret mission for Fury. And I have no idea where Cap is so…"
"We three will do. And we have the Warriors Three and Sif all master swordsmen. And I must not forget Loki and mother, both are masters at sorcery," and smiled.
"Yes, but we still do not know what we are going to be fighting," Hogun put in.
"I think I can help with that," Loki said.
"How?" Stark asked.
"Like this," he answered.
The trickster sat on the floor, crossed his legs and a green light appeared as he started to levitate.
"What's he doing?" Stark asked blankly.
"He is trying to connect with Asgard to see what is happening," Frigga answered.
"Okay, and when is he going to be done?"
"No idea," Thor answered.
"Okay than… Who is up for a tour of the tower while green eyes does… that," and waved his hand dramatically in the air.
Everyone looked blankly at him and he put his hand up in defense.
"Okay no tour. How about we go introduce you to Banner?"
"I'd like to know who you are yes," came a familiar voice from the entrance.
"Speak of the devil," and Tony stepped to the Avenger.
"People this is Bruce Banner. He's the giant green troll as Point Brake calls him."
"Hi there," Bruce greeted and stepped closer.
"Hello Son of Banner. I am Frigga, mother of Thor and Loki," the Queen greeted.
He bowed his head and turned to the three warriors.
"Hogun."
"Fandral."
"Volstagg."
"You can call them Warriors Three. And my name is Sif."
Natasha woke up with a massive headache and stood up. She was so dizzy she needed to grab a hold of a nearby tree. When she thought he could stand on her own, she let go.
"Have to… call S.H.I.E.L.D." and tried to walk but fell to her knees. She got up again and started walking while getting support from the trees. She managed to find a shack and walk to it. She saw that the lights were still on and got to the door. There she knocked on the door and after a few seconds, it opened to reveal a woman.
As soon as she saw the state Natasha was in, she grabbed her arm and helped her to a couch in the shack. She gave her a glass of water, checked for wounds and gave painkillers. After she was sure Tasha was in no danger, she sat on a stool next to the couch.
"You don't have any serious wounds, or a concussion. I'm Victoria and you are?" she asked friendly.
"Just call me Tasha. And thanks for helping me," and smiled.
"Oh no problem. But what were you doing out in the woods in your condition?"
"Looking for a friend," she answered grimly.
"Oh, sorry about that. Would you like another glass of water?"
"That would be nice, thank you," and Victoria left for the kitchen.
When she returned she gave the water to Widow. She drank the water and asked: "What are you doing here?"
"Oh, I came here to take care of the animals. You see I was a doctor a while back."
"Really? That useful," and drank the rest of her drink.
"So this friend of yours… is he really special to you?" Vic asked and put the glass away.
"You could say that I owe him everything special, then yes."
"Aww how nice. You two are really connected aren't you?"
"I guess," and she smiled.
"So how can I help you find him?" Vic was smiling.
"Could you tell me about the research lab?"
"That place? I used to work there," the former doctor said.
"Really?"
"Yup, so what do you want to know?"
"About if they ever made experiments on humans?"
That took Victoria by surprise.
"Yes…" she whispered.
Black Widow saw her face just got pale and asked: "You were part of it, weren't you?"
She nodded and whispered: "We never meant to hurt anyone. We were told it was for the good of humankind," and a tear rolled down her cheeks.
The agent put a hand on her shoulder in understanding, knowing that doctors hardly ever want to hurt others.
"Who told you that?" she asked.
"We never saw his face or heard his voice. But we called him 'Eli'."
"And what about the others?"
"They're dead," and more tears escaped her eyes.
There was a silence where only Victoria's snobs were head.
"What do they want with them? Are they trying to clone them? Or do they experiment until they die? Barton if you're dead when I get there, I'll bring you back, just to kill you again myself," Tasha thought.
Somewhere else, Clint opened his eyes to be blinded by a white light. His head was pounding in his ears and he felt like a bus ran him over. At first he couldn't hear a thing, but after a minute or so, he could hear the buzzing ofmachines. He opened his eyes again, but just a crake. As his eyes were starting to adjust to the bright light, he tried to move his arm, but couldn't. He noted that he was tied to a table with restrains and was most likely drugged while out cold.
He tried to remember what happened. He remembered him and Nat fighting some guy named Bucky. They were about to finish him when he could hear a thing. He closed his eyes to suppress the pain, but then he felt a foot hit him in the ribs then another kick on his back. After that he fell unconscious and regained it when he hit a brick wall. And now he's strapped onto a table in who knows where for who knows what.
He was brought out of his train of thoughts when Barton heard a voice.
"He should be awake by now," it said and it was coming closer.
Clint could hear three people walking in whatever room he was it. One stopped at the door, the second one stopped in front of him and the third one came next to him.
"It's time to wake up Hawkeye," the one closest to his said.
When Barton didn't react, the closer one pushed a button on a panel and it send an electric shock to the agent.
Hawk gritted his teeth from the pain and opened his eyes wide, but it was all blurry. After the pain passed his vision cleared and he could see who they were. The one at the door was Bucky, the one in front looked like a second in command and the third one was a doctor.
"Good morning, Hawkeye. How did you sleep?" the second one asked.
Barton gave a low growl, but didn't answer.
"Oh, don't worry. We won't kill you…yet. But we will require your assistance," and smirked evilly.
"Fuck…you" Clint shot back.
The man shook his head and gave a nod to the doctor. Then Barton felt a sudden pain and a moment later, darkness took him over.
Natasha was now talking to Victoria if she knew why they did those things.
"They said it was to make the ultimate solider that would follow orders no matter what. Then if it would be a success they would cloned him to have an army," the doctor explained.
"An army for what?" Widow asked.
"I don't know. They never told us."
"And why did you accept in the first place?"
"We were making history. If we could combine the genetics of more people into one, maybe we could help people that have lots parts of their bodies."
"I see. Do you have a phone or something? I need to make a call?"
"Sure the phone is right down the hall," and pointed to the direction.
"Thanks, I'll be right back," and she started walking to the phone.
Thanks for reading and hope you liked it. Pleas review.
