Chapter Ten: Loki
"Well then… I guess now's a good time to find a rainbow…" Harry muttered staring at the screen.
"JARVIS does Tony have anything that I can use to make a rainbow?"
"Yes"
So Harry made a rainbow and put one of the drachmas in, "O, Iris, Goddess of the Rainbow, accept my offering. Percy Jackson."
Harry was greeted with the inside of cabin three where he saw Percy. "Hey!"
He called out causing the younger boy to turn and grin.
"Harry how are you doing?"
"Good how have you been, it's been forever!"
Percy chuckled, "It's been a day and a half for me."
Harry blinked before groaning, "Time travel is weird. Well I've been quite busy…"
"Well what's been happening?" Percy asked impatiently excited to here about his adventures.
"Last time I told you about the Animus right well I continued that and learned more about Ezio and the assassins. But afterwards I traveled to a new world where I got caught in a paradox which means I couldn't time travel or Dimension hop out of that world for a whole year which I spent with my father of that world, he was a time lord, but he was evil he was the one who created the paradox. But my great grandfather another time lord was able to stop him and the time reset. I traveled with my great grandfather, the Doctor, for a day where we went onto a giant spaceship modeled after the titanic. Anyways I used my time turner to travel back a week and left where I arrived here."
Percy raised an eyebrow, "Wow sounds pretty crazy so what's going on in this new world?"
"Well it started out normal, but something's happening, I don't fully understand but my dad in this world, Tony Stark, is a hero called Iron man and he uses technology to fight, but he was called to fight against someone named Loki who looked as if he had some kind of power. But we think that Loki might be my dad as well."
"Huh… Loki that sounds a bit familiar, let me go grab Annabeth real quick."
Harry nodded and waited. A few minutes later Annabeth was there as well. "Annabeth do you know anything about Loki?" Percy asked the older girl.
She nodded, "Yes he's a god from the norse pantheon we don't study them much but I believe he is the god of Mischief, Magic, and lies. Why?"
"Well I know I told you a bit about my ability in this world I'm in there is a Loki here."
"Interesting, if they have the Norse Pantheon there they might have there own versions of the Greek Pantheon."
"Maybe thanks for the information."
"No problem. Well it's time for sword fighting. Percy and Luke are training really hard against each other."
Percy grinned, "I hope your still practicing Harry."
"I was able to practice a bit." Harry said.
"Next time we see each other we just have to have a friendly spar, I'll talk to you later!" Percy and Annabeth said goodbye and left.
Harry sighed, "Don't suppose this place has a training room where I can train my sword fighting with?"
"No." JARVIS responded.
Harry shrugged and took out Breaker practicing the movements. An hour later he stopped and practiced his demigod, and demititan abilities.
A few hours later when he was eating a snack he saw Loki come in. The… possible god walked towards him, "So you are who I felt."
"Ya I guess, are you Loki the norse god of Mischief, Magic, and lies?"
Loki tilted his head in acknowledgement.
"I wonder how you received Asgardian magic… since I was only gifted it from Freya… it should not be possible for you to get it as I am not a true Asgardian…"
Harry shrugged. "All I know is that I can gain abilities from my parents in each new dimension I visit."
Loki didn't respond as he seemed thoughtful.
"So what are you doing here anyways?" Harry asked.
Loki smirked, "Why this, this is where I will begin my ruling of this planet. Here is where I bring the Chitauri forth."
Harry mentally groaned why did this always happen. "Why do you want to rule earth? Honestly why is it that in every world I visit people are fighting over Earth?"
"I want to free these people."
Harry frowned, "Free them?"
"Yes from the great lie."
Warily he asked, "What lie?"
Loki smirked, "Freedom. It is the simple truth that humans are meant to be ruled, these mortals crave subjugation. There so called freedom diminishes there joy because they scramble for power that they can never obtain and they never know who they truly are always trying to ask themselves who they are. These ants are made to be ruled."
"But isn't it the choices people make that determine who they are? How can they figure out who they are if they cant choose who they wish to be?"
"Because they will be told who they are, given a role that they are most suited for."
"Oh? And who would tell them their roles? You?"
"Yes."
"So you think you would have enough time to tell billions of people what there role should be?"
That seemed to give Loki some though, "I will figure out a way to assign the roles once I have taken over."
"Alright suppose you do find a way, how do you plan on stopping rebellions?"
"With the Chitauri of course."
Harry nodded before asking "How do you rule the Chitauri anyways?"
"They lend me there strength in return for the tesseract."
"What happens once you give them the tesseract? Will they stay at your command… or will they leave."
Loki didn't respond but his eyes narrow a bit.
Harry continued, "They will leave. They would have what they want so they will leave and then where does that leave you? With no army to back you up how would you hope of ruling the world, with all its countries all its people spread everywhere? Surely you can't control them all at once? What will you do when a rebellion starts up, and trust me the people will rebell, what will you do then?"
"I will crush them."
"Will you? I have seen it before on the last world one man with an army took over the planet though he was able to keep his army and in the end he still lost. Because if there's one thing humans will always have is hope. And with there hope they will rebel and eventually… somehow they will win they will find a way to continue and survive."
Loki frowned.
It was at that time that Tony lands on the landing pad and walks in his suit coming off. "That was a nice speech kiddo." Tony said to Harry.
He walks over to the bar before looking up when Loki says, "Please tell me you are going to appeal to my humanity."
"Uh...actually, I'm planning to threaten you." Tony said a cocky smirk falling onto his face.
Loki sounded amused as he replied, "You should have left your armor on for that."
Tony gave an easy shrug as he started pouring a drink, "Yeah well, it's seen a bit of mileage. Besides you've got the blue stick of destiny. Would you like a drink?"
Loki smirked as he stated, "Stalling me won't change anything."
"Nope! Threatening! No drink? You sure? I'm having one."
"My army is coming, and nothing can change that, what have I to fear?"
Tony sat down his glass his face going serious as he said, "The Avengers."
Loki seemed confused.
Tony went back to normal as he flippantly said, "It's what we call ourselves, sort of like a team. 'Earth's Mightiest Heroes' type of thing.'
Loki rolled his eyes as he replied dismissively, "Yes I've met them"
"Well, It may take us a while to get our traction, I'll give you that." He paused taking a sip. "But let us do a head count here. We have your brother, the demigod; a super soldier, who is a living legend who definitely lives up to the stories; a man with some awesome anger management issues; a couple of master assassins, and you, reindeer games, you have managed to piss off every single one of them."
He smirked, "Then we also have me, Iron man, and Harry here a dimensional traveler with plenty of abilities I'm sure."
"I have a few tricks up my sleeve."
"Well it was my plan to piss them off." Loki admitted.
"Not a great plan. When they come, and they will, they'll come for you."
"I have an army at my disposal and what do you have?"
"We have a Hulk."
"I though that the beast has wandered off?"
Tony shook his head as if Loki was just a small child, "You're missing the point, there is no throne, no version of this where you come out on top. Sure maybe your army comes and maybe it's too much for us, but it's all on you. Because you can damn well know that if we can't protect our home, our planet, well than you can place your bets on us avenging it."
Loki walks over to Tony slowly during that speech and says, "How will your friends have time for me,when they're so busy fighting you?" He says tapping Tony on the chest with a ping sound.
He frowns a genuine look of confusion crossing his face as he taps it again. "I don't understand it should work."
Tony waggles his eyebrows as he mutters, "Well performance issues you know… sometimes you just can't get it working."
Anger flashed across Loki's face as he grabs Toni by the neck and throws him across the room.
Harry's eyes widen but he saw Tony smirking and saw his lips moving from across the room as Loki goes and picks him p by the neck again. "You will all fall before me!" He hisses out as he throws Tony out the window.
"Well this isn't the first time I've done this!" Harry shouts as he runs after Tony pulling his broom out as he jumped off. But watched amazed as another suit of armour flew after tony and caught up with him and Harry paused in his downward chase as Tony flew back up.
"You actually have a flying broom?" Tony muttered to him as they both went back up.
"Yes."
"There is one other person you pissed off. His name was Phil." Tony said and blasted Loki.
Just then the beam shot up. Tony looked up and soon was flying up shooting rockets. Harry followed after him pulling out his wand and sending blasting curses. Tony pauses just enough to pass him an ear piece. "You might need this!" He said before flying off Chitauri chasing him Harry flew off the opposite direction putting the earpiece on.
He had about six Chitauri on his tale and even more joining in that he was trying to blast apart. "Stark, we're heading north east."
"What, did you stop for drive-thru? Swing up Park, I'm gonna lay 'em out for you. Also If you see a kid on a broom shooting lights out of a stick don't shoot him, thats Harry he's on our side."
Harry was blasting the Chitauri and paused briefly when he heard a giant roar looking up he saw a massive giant creature come out of the portal. "I don't think the Blasting curse will do any good against that thing, they barely can get past these ones armour." He muttered to himself.
"Stark, are you seeing this?" A voice Harry thought was Captain America said.
"I'm seeing, still working on believing. Where's Banner? Has he shown up yet?"
"Banner?"
"Just keep me posted."
Harry continued flying around shooting the blasting curse or the cutting curse. He ignored some of the chattering that wasn't directed at him or useful information, Harry briefly spotted Captain america on the street talking with police as he flew overhead blasting more Chitauri.
He couldn't keep this up much longer already his magic was becoming depleted. "What's the story upstairs?" He heard Captain America ask.
Another voice one he didn't recognize but kinda had a similar accent to Loki said, "The powers surrounding the cube is impenetrable."
Tony responded, "Thor is right. We gotta deal with these guys."
A female voice asked, "How do we do this?"
"As a team."
Harry spotted them on the ground and flew over joining them.
"I have unfinished business with Loki." A man in red and gold armour the one who sounds similar to Loki stated
"Yeah? Get in line." another man with arrows on his back responded
"Save it. Loki's gonna keep this fight focused on us and that's what we need. Without him these things could run wild. We got Stark up top, he's gonna need us…" Captain America spoke before they paused when a motorbike arrived with someone on it Harry recognized him as Banner Aka the Hulk.
"So this seems horrible."
The woman responded with, "I've seen worse."
"Sorry." Banner responded.
"No… We could use a little worse."
"Stark? We got him." the Captain spoke.
"Banner?" Tony questioned.
"Just like you said." Captain responded.
"Then tell him he better suit up cause I'm bringing the party to you."
They soon see the giant creature after him. "If this is his idea of a party what is his idea of a fight?" Harry questioned.
"Definitely not my definition of a party." The woman responded.
"Dr. Banner, now would be a really good time for you to get angry."
Banner walked forward unafraid, "That's my secret, Captain. I'm always angry." And with that he turned green and grew big. He punched the giant Chitauri ship causing it to flip upright.
"That… Is awesome!" Harry cheered the Hulk on who turned and grinned at him as the Chitauri creature exploded.
The Chitauri on the buildings roared at them. The Hulk roared back as they all stood back to back facing out towards their enemy. Harry changed his wand to its sword form.
"Guys…" The woman said her voice worried. Looking up they spotted two more of the giant creatures coming out and countless more of the little guys. The Chitauri didn't look like they were dwindling down at all.
A/n: I am trying to update semi-regularly who knows how long this will last though. I hope you guys enjoy!
