Good day everyone. I think I'll try to post again later today, but I'm not sure. Anyway...

Nagrom Renin: Thank you very much!

Ms. Smooth Criminal: Natasha's so awesome. Not a big fan of Scarlett Johansson, but Black Widow's pretty cool. I already have in mind some things I'm going to do regarding this love triangle. I'm actually kind of excited to add some more drama to the story haha.

MysticRyter: YAY! Haha.

AngelVamp6688: Yeah, Wisconsin is pretty strange. That whole recall thing was such a waste of money. Anyway, thank you! I actually was planning on bringing Daredevil in. I was debating between him and Bucky actually.

Arrows the Wolf: I know right? I wish I could bring in the Howling Commandos, but they're like all dead now. Except maybe one...

Itsgoose2u: Thank you! Thor's so much fun to write haha.

firemage23: Haha he really does have an army now!

Chapter Ten

"There's more of them?" whispered Steve. His eyes were wide as he stared along with everyone else in the room.

Gwen watched as Thor got up and walked around the table. His face was radiant with happiness as he approached the four new people. Loki had sunk down in his seat and looked like he wanted to die.

The first newcomer was a woman with long dark hair that was pulled into a ponytail at the back of her head. She wore armor as well as the others. Then there was a man with a mustache and beard and also had a vibe that reminded Gwen of Tony. Next was a plump man with a long red beard and following him was another man who looked even crabbier than Fury.

"Who the hell are these people?" asked Fury looking very infuriated. His one eye was wide and his hands were on his hips.

"Humans, this is Lady Sif," said Thor, putting his arm around the woman's shoulders. Gwen noticed she was holding a shield and a dangerous and sharp looking object.

"And I am Fandral," said the man who seemed a lot like Tony.

"I am Volstagg," said the plump man. "And this is Hogun. He never smiles."

The man named Hogun looked even crabbier at the comment.

"And why are you here?" asked Fury, still sounding angry.

"Heimdall said that we were needed on Midgard," answered Sif.

"How is my mother doing?" asked Thor.

"She is fairing well," replied Volstagg. "She even sent us off after a nice feast."

"Well, it was by your request," added Fandral.

Gwen was astonished at how there were now six Asgardians in the conference room. This really had turned into some sort of freak show.

"Are you here to stay?" asked Thor.

"We will not leave until he is defeated," answered Hogun.

"Until who is defeated?" asked Tony. "Will you tell us now?"

Fury rubbed a hand over his face as he looked at everyone around him.

"This is messed up," whispered Clint. Gwen stifled a laugh.

"We're going to need more rooms at the base," said Fury to Agent Hill. "Go send a message. And be very clear as to why."

"Yes, sir," she replied and left the room.

"What base?" asked Tony.

"Stark, let me just figure this out," said Fury. "Okay, so you're from Asgard. You've been sent to help, correct?"

"Correct, Lord Patch," said Fandral, his posture completely straight. He sounded completely serious.

Gwen's lips were twisted into a smile and she looked around to see everyone else's reaction to this new name. It seemed most people were stifling a laugh while Tony didn't stop himself.

"My name is Nick Fury," said Fury calmly, though he looked irritated by being called "Lord Patch." Gwen had a feeling Tony was going to remember that one.

It bothered Loki to no end that no one trusted him. Granted he was the god of mischief and lies and no one should trust someone like that. But he had told the warning to everyone, yet he was monitored every second he was on this floating fortress. And now all of the others were here and everyone trusted them instantly. True, he had tried to take over Midgard twice now, but he had changed. No one understood this. Except maybe Gwen. He noticed that she treated him nicer than the others. He had been surprised when she had let him in her home.

But now as he looked up and saw Thor's best friends standing in this conference room, he couldn't help but feel slightly alone. Everyone seemed to have forgotten he was there. Not even the other Asgardians noticed him. So it was back to living in the shadows, it seemed.

Loki took a deep breath to calm himself. He may of changed, but he could still feel jealousy. He could still envy. He still wanted to be equal to Thor. Granted Odin had made him feel better with the words that had been spoken, Loki still felt slightly the same. He still felt as though others didn't think he was good enough.

And he was going to prove them wrong.

After everyone had finally settled down and more chairs had been brought in for the newcomers from Asgard, Fury moved back to the front of the table. His hands were placed upon his hips as he looked out over every single one of them. Gwen looked around and counted twenty five people in the room. She felt her heart start racing as she realize how many people this was. Obviously something really bad was happening, especially if more gods were sent to help.

"So," said Tony, leaning back in his chair, "are you going to tell us what is happening now?"

"Not until we reach our new base."

"Will you tell us where that is?" asked Bruce.

"Is there wi-fi there?" asked Darcy.

"Stop with the wi-fi," hissed Jane.

"First of all," said Fury, "I need to discuss some things with Doctor Morse."

He strode to the door and motioned for Barbara to go with him. She got up and followed.

Gwen turned back to Steve who was still looking at everyone, particularly the Asgardians. If he had ever been shocked by Thor, he was far beyond that now. Gwen was just happy that they were friendly and on their side. It was never good to have a god as an enemy.

Fury finally came back in, followed by a stunned Barbara. Everyone looked from one to the other and then kept their eyes on Fury, hoping that he'd finally tell them something. It was obvious everyone was getting irritated now, especially Tony.

"Right now equiment that belongs to several of you is being transferred to our new base," stated Fury. "I promise you that nothing will be damaged."

"And where is the new base?" asked Tony impatiently.

Even Fury couldn't hide a smile when he finally answered.

"Atlantis."
