"Aw, come on just be at the Expo." Said Stark

"Okay, Okay I will be at the opening ceremony," said Alita "And in return I need some tickets for three people I know."

"You mean the Parker's, consider it done." smiled Stark

"Nice job embarrassing, Justin Hammer like that." Giggled Alita "I watched the whole thing on television, he's a jerk off."

"Indeed" said Stark "I hired Rhodes as a security consultant for Stark Industries."

"He's a good choice to have." Nodded Alita "It's best to stay on your guard as Hammer was talking to Sterns and Ross."

"Always do, as I am Iron Man." Said Stark "As I kept my identity a secret, Rhodes, yourself and Pepper knows."

"Wise choice," replied Alita "I won't be going to Monaco, as I heard rumors of a hammer dropping in the desert."

"Anyone I should know of." Said Stark

"Not yet," said Alita "In due time you will."

Queens, New York City USA

Iron man flew over New York City, only to land in the scenario of the Stark Expo and host its opening ceremony for a cheering Stark appeared and stood by the side of his bodyguard Iron Man, then taking the microphone he speaks to the people and the audience at home

"Please, it's not about me. It's not about you. It's not even about us. It's about legacy. It's about what we choose to leave behind for future generations. And that's why for the next year and for the first time since 1974, the best and brightest men and women of nations and corporations the world over will pool their resources, share their collective vision, to leave behind a brighter future. It's not about us. Therefore, what I'm saying, if I'm saying anything, is welcome back... to the Stark Expo."

"Also I have s very special guest," smiled Stark "She was last here in 1974, with my father. The one and only who is my godmother. The legendary battle angel."

The crowd erupted in cheers and clapping as Alita came out of no where in spectacular fashion, displaying various of moves and in the background of the television monitors showing past events of the legendary battle angel Alita. She then takes the microphone.

"As you all know I don't like to toot my own horn." Spoke Alita "I welcome all of you to the Stark Expo on this fine night and always remember the angel of Justice is always out there." She handed the microphone to Tony

He talked about the purpose of the Stark Expo, the importance of their legacy, as organizations from all over the world would join efforts for the sake of a better future. While displaying his father's opening for the Stark Expo made in 1974, Stark went backstage and Alita went with him, following them is Iron Man.

Meanwhile in New Mexico

Two physicists, Jane Foster, Erik Selvig, and Darcy Lewis, is in the New Mexico desert, working from the van while conducting research on an aurora-borealis-type phenomenon. Suddenly a large tornado/lightning storm develops and they drive towards it to investigate. The van hits a man from inside the maelstrom and they stop. They find a man, a well-built blond, semi-conscious, they take him to the hospital.

When the scientists return to their outpost in town they discover S.H.I.E.L.D. confiscating all of their equipment and research in connection to the recent atmospheric disturbances, and the appearance of Thor's hammer. Unsure of what to do, the trio goes back to the hospital but Thor has escaped. As they drive off in the van, they hit the Asgardian man again and knock him out, but this time they take him with them. Foster gives him civilian clothes that belonged to her ex-boyfriend.

Later on:The bar

Selvig takes Thor out for a drink, now trying to convince Thor to leave Foster alone due to the complications he has and would continue to cause her. The two chug boilermakers and bond. Thor turned to see a object called a television and his eyes widen in shock it's her, the girl called Alita. The same one she fought and killed the frost giant.

"You know," said Thor "I met her before."

"Oh is that so," replied Selvig

"She fought and killed a frost giant." Chuckled Thor "A capable warrior."

"She is as popular as Santa Claus." Said Selvig

"Where can I find her." Asked Thor?

"She comes and goes," said Selvig "Lays low most of the time, helps out when she can."

"I understand." Nodded Thor

On Asgard

Loki freezes Heimdall and uses the Bifrost to meet with Laufey. It is revealed that Loki was the one who let the Frost Giants into Asgard to try to retrieve the casket during Thor's coronation. He makes a deal with Laufey that he will let them into Asgard again to kill Odin and have their casket, and in return, they will return home in peace. Loki then commands the Destroyer to go to Earth and kill Thor.

New Mexico, town

The Destroyer arrives in the New Mexico desert and starts blasting everything with a heat ray. Thor and the three scientists attempt to get everyone away safely. Thor confronts the Destroyer and asks Loki, who can see and hear what is going on from Asgard, to leave the humans alone in return for himself. Thor was just about to be swatted like a fly

CLANG

The destroyer is hit and sent flying out of town into the desert which landed hard on the ground. Thor, Jane Foster, and the warriors three with Sif to see Alita standing there with Thor's hammer in hand, electricity radiated upon her body.

"So, sorry I hope I didn't steal your thunder." Giggled Alita

"Not at all," chuckled Thor "I must do battle against..."

Before he could say more Thor leaped in front of Alita and is struck in the chest by the energy beam of the destroyer, which it came back into town running. Jane Foster cried and Alita's eyes narrowed as Thor's blood is on the ground, using her fingers she placed it under her eyes and charged forward at the Destroyer.

The armor tried to swat Alita like a fly, but she moved to quickly and slammed the hammer upon the chest of the destroyer, it was thrown out of town and high in the air. Suddenly it's hit again by Alita from it's backside and it crashed hard upon the ground.

Alita was just about to finish it off until no will of her own the hammer propelled her backwards and into the direction of Thor who doesn't look injured at all. Alita looked surprised at first, but shrugged it off.

"I believe this is mine," said Thor

"Yes, shall we take it out together." Smiled Alita

"Then let's do it." Said Thor

"Then hang on." Said Alita

They both grabbed the hammer and Alita tossed him on her back. Then in super sonic speeds she dashed toward the Destroyer, she palm charges up with energy holding the hammer in hand and Thor supercharged it with his power of Thunder. Then both of them held the hammer is it slammed down upon the destroyer.

CRACKOOM

Followed by

ZAP

A flash of light occured, following up by the rumbling of the ground and also dust, sand, with some debris. When it cleared the Destroyer was no more than a melted pile of goop. Alita and Thor stand there holding hands, only to separate afterwards.

"Are we done," asked Thor?

"Yes," said Alita "We are."

"Holy shit," muttered Coulson

"I need to return to Asgard." Said Thor

After that Thor went to Asgard and Alita went elsewhere.

New York City, days later

Rogers awakens in a 1940s-style hospital room. Deducing from an anachronistic radio broadcast that he was out of place, he flees outside into what is revealed to be present-day Times Square, where Nick Fury tells him he has been "asleep" for nearly 70 years. Stunned by this revelation, Rogers' only response is that he had a date.

"Oh a date with me," said Alita "How nice of you America's ass."

"Alita," gasped Rogers "You haven't aged."

"It's a long story," said Alita "A lot has happened."
