Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, I had writers block, then bad concussion and then writers block again! On the plus side I wrote basically all of this story when I went on holiday and I just need to type it up now, on the down, I have exams coming up.

Also, thanks so much for the three reviews! (You people know you can review as guests right?) Also thank you all for continuing to follow this story!

Disclaimer: I don't own them any more than I did last time, although I now I do own and Iron Man box set and the Avengers DVD. I also do not own Parthenon, he is a Greek god which I stole the name of. Most of the stuff I've created about the infinity gems is made up. Also, I'm pretty sure Stan Lee does not have magic powers :)

God of Dimensions

"Where's Stark?" Natasha yelled into her com, kicking an alien off the Helicarrier and shooting another in the head.

Thor had given up trying to electrocute the creatures, they were clearly impervious to it, and was whacking them violently with Mjolnir instead.

"I don't know Tasha, but he better get here soon!" Hawkeye replied, shooting one in the eye.

Coulson realised that the gun he'd shot Loki with worked pretty well on extra-terrestrials and was currently blasting them off the carrier, 40,000 feet to their death.

"It's good to have you back sir," Steve complemented and Coulson smiled.

"Only because you miss him fanboying over you," Skye joked.

"Skye, focus," Ward ordered.

"Can we keep the coms clear please?" asked May, in the middle of some very impressive hand-to-hand combat while Ward just shot at the aliens.

They could hear the roar of the Hulk and everyone who wasn't an Avenger tensed, if being any more nervous was even possible.

"If we adjust the pressure and concentration of the…" Fitz explained but Tony could already see what he meant.

"Fitz, you're a genius!" he exclaimed, chucking a strawberry at Fitz (he had already used up his blueberries) who caught it easily.

"Tony, um, you know after all this is over, er would you mind trying to convince Coulson to er…"

"He is not getting you a monkey Fitz!" Simmons sighed exasperatedly, not looking up from a model of an alien, which Jarvis had helpfully scanned (the AI had been temporarily installed by Tony, Helicarrier technology was so last century) when they had first started attacking.

"Sure, how many do…" Tony replied to Fitz but Simmons cut off their conversation again.

"According to the tests, the gun should be strong enough to knock the aliens out, however it may cause permanent damage to their ear drums, which will be a problem if SHIELD wants to interrogate them,"

"We'll just have to risk it," decided Fitz and Tony nodded.

"Yeah, Natashalie," Tony asked, wincing over-dramatically at the torrent of insults that followed. "We got the weapons ready,

"So, you didn't make it clear earlier," questioned Tony as he put on his suit. "How many monkeys do you want?"

"So, what do we do now?" Leonard asked.

"Stay here until they stop fighting," Howard told him.

"Come on guys, isn't this always what we've always wanted to do?" Raj moaned.

"I don't know about you, but I'm sure I haven't always wanted to die," Sheldon pointed out and they kept moving as silently as possible, the gunshots mostly blocking out the sounds of the clattering.

"Guys," Penny hissed, leaning over a grate. "I think there's something important going on in that room," suddenly the grate snapped under her weight and she fell, somehow miraculously flipping over and landing on her feet, before toppling over onto her hands and knees.

"Penny!" Leonard yelled, not stopping to think and swinging down after her. His descent less graceful, he landed awfully, twisting his ankle. "Penny, I can't find my glasses!" he exclaimed in a panic.

"You may not want to," she replied drily.

"Should we go and rescue them?" enquired Raj from the back of the line.

"Rescue them? Of all the ridiculous notions, that…"

She's the prettiest girl I'm ever going to meet; so sure!" Howard said quickly and jumped down after Leonard.

"I was talking about Leonard too man!" Raj rolled his eyes. "This better get me good karma," he mused and he followed Howard, thinking internally please let me come back as a superhero!

"The things I do for you people!" Sheldon complained to no-one in particular and leapt through the gap, surprisingly landing more gracefully than the others, although that could be due to the fact that he kind of looked like a giant Preying-Mantis, and staring up at the seven foot tentacled alien standing ominously in front of them.

"So Penny," Leonard started. "When you said, you thought there was something important…"

"Didn't mean like this,"

"Tony, where are you?" Steve called into his com. "We could really use your help here!"

"Give me a sec," Tony replied, blasting a few aliens away from Fitzsimmons with his repulsors. "We have a situation in the labs!"

"The main decks are almost clear, I'm coming to get you," Natasha told him, suddenly her communicator glitched. "Tony," she yelled. "Tony!"

"Hey Spidey," Tony answered arrogantly. "On the plus side, the new weapons work; on the downside, Fury's gonna have to buy us a new lab,"

"Then get the damn things over here Stark!" Clint shouted, he was currently surrounded by a lot of extra-terrestrials and was finding it hard to take them all out when they wouldn't stop coming!

"Sure thing. Hey, Fitzsimmons, you two grab guns and lock yourselves in; don't worry Avengers, I'm coming!"

"Who are you?" Penny asked bravely.

"Parthenon, God of Dimensions, I rule over many of these universes,"

"Well I've never heard of you," Leonard told him and the god glared. "Actually, you know, thinking about it, people have mentioned you quite a-"

"Shut up snivelling human, I know for a fact you have not as I have yet to conquer this one!"

They looked at each other nervously, each wishing they had some kind of weapon.

"What do you mean by universes?" demanded Sheldon.

"When the Titan Thanos failed to take over the Universe, he used the reality, space and time gems to reverse time and split it into two, thus the creation of two dimensions, one where superheroes exist, and one where they do not and never have existed, they remain only as fiction. Although your world has no magic, some people, like Stan Lee retain traces of magic, which allows them to see into the other universes and write their findings as fiction, for that is what they presume it to be."

"You said 'universes' again," Sheldon repeated, not scared enough to be able to resist pointing out the god's bad grammar.

"That is because there are many, each time Thanos fails to conquer the universe, he uses the time gem to reverse time. Einstein's theories say that travelling backwards in time is impossible without a parallel universe being created, otherwise a paradox occur. Your world is now the anchor that holds the many superhero universes together, like the spokes on a wheel, I fear that if a parallel universe gets created to mirror your world, reality would fall apart."

"How many universes are there?" Howard questioned, more curious than terrified, in fact he was so interested that he had almost forgotten that Parthenon could kill them.

"Hundreds," he replied off-handedly. "Once Thanos has no need for them I take them over, your so-called super-heroes have never been able to stop me,"

"So, Thanos will fail to take over this one?" asked Raj.

The God of Dimensions nodded. "See, his problem is that when he travels back in time, he unintentionally wipes his memory, so he makes the same mistakes over and over again,"

"Wait, so you control hundreds of leftover universes,"

"Yes Penny, keep up," Sheldon shot her a patronising look and she glared daggers at him.

"Isn't that difficult?"

"Sometimes, however everyone needs a hobby,"

"Enslaving people is a hobby?" Leonard asked incredulously and Parthenon nodded. "Wow my mother would love analysing you!"

Okay, originally this chapter was really long, however I decided that this would be a good place to break it up and I'll have the next chapter up within a week, I really do promise this time!

Please review, I always reply :)
