Back at Avengers tower.
Everyone was weary of the woman that was standing in front of them. And Masaki knew that.
"When is Ichigo coming back?" Toshiro asked.
"He will come at midnight, just like yesterday" Yourichi said.
"Yeah but we will probably have to fight Ronan today. That little blue idiot won't delay any further" Tony said.
"Why is Uryu here? Didn't he go with Ichigo for patrolling?" Thor asked.
"Well i told him i was tired and didn't want to do the whole city. So he going to do it by himself. And i guess this will take a bit more time" Uryu said with a shrug.
"And by the looks of it, we are in need for some time" Uryu said as he glared at Masaki and Isshin who only flinched.
Everyone was silent but then Kisuke sighed and thought,
'I guess it's time to start the discussion'
"Is everyone here? We need a plan cause we cannot let Ichigo know that she is here. Never." Kisuke said.
"But why Kisuke? You don't have any problem with me but only her... why?" Isshin asked with a stern glare.
"Didn't you tell her?" Renji asked Orihime.
"I kinda did but we were in a hurry" Orihime said as she scratched the back of her head.
"Tell me what?" Masaki asked with an annoyed look on her face. Nobody was telling her anything and it was getting on her nerves.
"You see when Ichigo was 9 yea-" Rukia started slowly but Chad stopped her with his hand on her shoulder.
"What's wrong?" Rukia asked as she looked behind her to see Chad with a nervous look on his face.
Suddenly steps were heard outside and before anyone had time to do or say anything, Yuzu and Karin walked in with smiles on their faces.
"Guys we made breakfast! We didn't make much cause we have a lot of work to do today! We don't want anyone to have a stomach ache!" Yuzu said cheerfully as she set the tray of food beside a computer on the desk.
"They are not babies you know? They can eat normally and function normally too. You shouldn't mix up adults and babies because of your job at daycare" Karin retorted as she set down the second tray next to the first and picked up a glass of juice from the tray.
"Karin chan! It's still good to take precautions" Yuzu explained with a pout.
"God this is going to end up bad" Steve and Clint whispered to themselves.
"Ka . . . rin? Did she say Karin?" Isshin asked as he got up and started walking towards the said girls.
"Goat chin? How are you here? And where- Where is your Goatee?! How will i call you goat chin now!?" Karin said with a pout as she crossed her arms.
"Wow dad you look young... almost too young" Yuzu whispered carefully as she took a step back and pulled Karin with her.
"Yuzu? Karin?" Masaki spoke up.
At the sound of new voice, Karin and Yuzu tilted their heads to look behind Isshin who was blocking their view.
Masaki's eyes widened at the sight of the twins.
She had never thought of how they would look if they were grown ups but for some reason she knew it was them standing in front of her.
Tears started to stream down her face at the sight of how beautiful her kids look in the future.
Yuzu's legs gave up and she fell on her knees and shivered. Karin wasn't doing much better.
"Okaasan?" Yuzu asked to make sure she was seeing right.
(Okaasan means mother in Japanese. So does Haha)
"It's me. Why are you so scared of me? Come here Yuzu" Masaki said with a reassuring smile.
Yuzu had tears in her eyes and she started to half crawl towards her mother.
"No wait!" Karin said as she held Yuzu's arm firmly to hold her back.
"What is it Karin chan!" Yuzu yelled angrily.
"Think twice Yuzu! This is not possible! Don't let your emotions cloud you!" Karin yelled.
"But-But-" Yuzu said as she started sobbing.
"Yuzu, Karin, there is an explanation for this-" Nat tried but Karin wasn't ready to hear any of it.
"What kind of explanation could you possibly have in this case! What in the world is happen-" Karin started then suddenly a blue coloured reishi arrow shot out of nowhere into the roof, although it didn't do much damage.
"Hey what's the big idea?" Tony asked Uryu as he raised his hands in defeat.
"It wasn't me tin can" Uryu retorted.
Everyone looked around until they noticed that Masaki was holding up her left arm and her Quincy bracelet was dangling from her wrist. A bit of steam/smoke was coming off her arm, telling she was the one that shot the arrow.
"Masaki, you need to list-" Fury tried.
"No i am not going to listen! I don't know what in the world is happening! I was kidnapped from a different time line just so i could be used as a bait?! And then i was saved by my apparently 8 year old grandson! And then i find that not only my grand son and my daughter in law, but my own two daughters are afraid of me! I cannot even TRY to guess what the reason is!" Masaki yelled at everyone while Isshin just sighed at the outburst.
Then there was a loud thump.
Everyone looked at Kisuke who had slammed his left hand on the desk while the stick in his right hand rested on his shoulders. Half of his face was shadowed by his hat yet his eyes said something.
"Creep" Gamora said out loud.
"Kurosaki san, if you don't have any idea on why they. . .or WE are acting like this then you should shut up before anyone here loses it" Kisuke said as he walked over to where Masaki was sitting and stood in front of her as he passively glared.
"How dare you talk to her like that Kisuke!" Isshin yelled as he held Kisuke's collar.
"Oh shut up Isshin. Tell me, how many years into the future are you?" Kisuke asked as he pushed Isshin's firm grip away with a light smack.
"21, But what's the point of al-"
"Then don't you think that the level of power of each and every person in this room might be beyond your reach?" Kisuke said as he pointed his crane at Isshin's chest.
"What do you mean?" Isshin said as he flicked the crane away.
"Let me put it simply. Each and every person has gone through experiences you haven't gone through, even the 'You' of THIS timeline hasn't suffered what THESE people have suffered. And they have trained hard to survive those instances-" Kisuke started but was interrupted.
"Get to the point" Masaki interjected.
"Each and every person has trained to fight gods and beings you never know of. Each and every person in this room knows exactly what to do and what not to do in any situation. And each and every person in this room WOULD NOT refrain to kill the both of you if you act up. So i will say what i had said, again, Shut up" Kisuke said as he walked back to his desk and sat on the chair.
(It was at this moment that she knew, she fucked up. . . lol kidding)
And that was the moment Masaki regretted her decision of trusting her future family and not trusting Ronan.
(Tbh by the sounds of it, it really does look like she is close to fucking up)
"Masaki san. . . We don't want you to feel this way but we can't help but act like this unconsciously" Rukia said as she looked away.
Masaki's firm expression softened and she for some reason felt. . . pity.
"What happened?" Masaki asked with a saddened desperation.
Rukia looked at Renji who just gave her hand a reassuring squeeze.
Nodding, Rukia looked into the woman's eyes and started.
"It happened 20 years ago on June 17th. You were taking Ichigo back home from his Martial Arts class. It was raining heavily so the road was muddy and the surroundings weren't clear. On your way back, near the riverbank, there was a girl standing and it looked like the girl was going to jump into the river. Ichigo, being a kid, ran towards the girl to save her and the last thing he knows is getting up under your bloody body while the girl was gone" Rukia said with a grim look.
Masaki gasped at the last sentence while Karin and Yuzu started crying again knowing what was coming next. It hurt everyone to see Karin cry. Yuzu used to be the crybaby but the only times Karin cried was when something hurt her too badly.
"Do you know what happened?" Isshin calmly asked.
"That girl was an hollow's illusion. The hollow was after Ichigo because of his high spiritual pressure. And Ichigo was able to see the hollow just because of that same reason. Ichigo ran after the hollow but was attacked and Masaki san tried to save him, but she died trying. But Ichigo doesn't remember anything because he fell unconscious the second he reached the girl and Masaki yelled for him. And being a nine year old, he didn't know what to do" Uryu said as he watched Karin take Yuzu out of the room to calm her down.
Masaki had tears in her eyes. Her nine year old son had to go through so much just because of his high spiritual pressure. And him having it wasn't even his fault.
"But why wasn't Masaki able to save him or herself? Even if she wasn't able to attack the hollow because she couldn't make a arrow in time, she should have been able to use Blut and she wouldn't have gotten a scratch" Isshin asked as he started to understand the situation a bit.
"She could have easily killed that hollow. But that wasn't the problem here" Uryu said bitterly.
"Then what was it?"
"On that same day, at that same moment, Yhwach had decided intiate Auswählen. This technique robs most pure Quincy of their powers. Because of that, Masaki wasn't able to defend herself and she chose to give up her life to save Ichigo" Uryu spat out with venom for that wannabe god.
After looking at that explanation Masaki and Isshin nodded and observed Uryu.
Isshin was the first to speak up.
"Are you Uyru. . .Ishida?"
"I thought you had already noticed. Yeah, I am Uryu Ryuken Ishida" Uryu said with a slight bow.
"You look just like your dad when you are angry for a stupid reason" Isshin said with a big grin while Masaki internally face palmed.
'Uryu is already irritated and Isshin is CLEARLY not helping' Chad thought.
'This isn't going to end good' Masaki thought.
"Stupid reason? Angry because of a stupid fucking reason? Do you even realise the gravity of the situation Isshin Shiba! Or should i say Kurosaki! That name you borrowed from your dear wife who died! And she wasn't the only one who died Isshin! Even my mother fell into coma and died after 3 months because of what that asshole Yhwach did! You have no fucking right to call this a stupid reason to be angry about" Uryu spat at Isshin as if he wanted the man to be dead right then and there.
'Thank god Kazui and Ichika aren't in the room' Banner thought as he counted the number of cuss words.
". . .You are right, I don't" Isshin said with a serious apologizing look.
Uryu started at him for a few seconds and when he knew that Isshin really was sorry he said,
"Whatever, i am going out. You guys make a secret code which you can speak into the ear bud. With that i would know that i can bring Ichigo back here, he would want to meet Kazui and the Guardians. The least we can do is suprise him" Uryu said as he flashed his eye one last time over the Guardians of the Galaxy.
"Oh well then the secret code is Unicorns" Matsumoto suggested.
"Why in the world you would choose Unicorns?" Toshiro asked as he pinched the bridge of his nose.
"It seems out of the blue so Ichigo won't think something is up" Matsumoto said with a grin and a thumbs up.
"That's exactly how he would get suspicious!" Renji yelled.
"You know what? Just leave it to that. I will somehow manage to bring. . . Unicorns into mine and Ichigo's conversation and you have to manage it too" Uryu said as he picked up an ear bud from Kisuke's desk, turned it on and put it into his left ear.
And with that, Uryu flash stepped away.
'So fast' Masaki thought.
( Peter is going to be Peter parker. Quill is going to be Peter Quill)
"Why did he wear it in his left ear?" Peter asked as he felt his own ear bud in his right ear.
"While using a bow and arrow, you shoot arrows from your right hand. And for communicating, you need to tap the ear bud once to turn it on and tap again to turn it off. So if he is being attacked and he wants to communicate, he can't do both the tasks together" Clint said as he pointed at his own ear bud that was fixed into his left ear.
"The earbuds aren't turned on right? Cause while going out Ichigo had taken his own earbud. And if even ONE of the buds that is in this room was on, he would be able to hear the whole conversation" Tony said out of nowhere.
For a second there was a look of terror on everyone's faces but then Banner said,
"Relax guys, i checked the connections. This whole time only Ichigo's was on. And Uryu's ear bud turned on just 30 seconds ago when he went out"
Everyone's tense shoulders relaxed.
"So how are you going to hide us and the lady here?" Rocket asked as he pointed at everyone with his gun.
"Firstly, put that gun down" Nat said and Rocket reluctantly complied.
"We are only going to hide Ichigo's parents. We won't hide you guys, we are very much in debt to you for bringing Kazui back" Rukia said with a slight bow and smile.
"Oh there is no need for that. . ." Mantis said awakwardly.
"How are you going to hide Ichigo's parents? You cannot just simply lock them in a room so Ichigo can't find them. He has been a soul reaper for so long that i think he would be easily able to trace the spiritual pressure" Gamora said.
Everyone including the Avengers except the Guardians gave her a weird look as of how she knows so much about soul reapers.
"Oh we had alot of time so Kazui told us about the whole situation on our way here" Drax said casually.
Everyone relaxed at that but Kisuke spoke up.
"As much as i would like to rest, the point made by Miss Gamora is right. Ichigo can sense spiritual pressure well, he is not the old Ichigo" Kisuke said.
"Says the man who trained Ichigo in sensing spiritual pressure" Renji mustered.
"That was because he had an captain's exam coming up. Now back to the point" Kisuke said as he clapped his hands.
"Why is everyone here so damn respectful" Gamora whispered to herself as Quill snickered at her being called 'Miss' again.
"Well we can't do anything about that. So what are we going to do? Cause i have an idea in mind" Banner said.
"What is it?" Kisuke asked.
"We can use the cloak that Ichigo had used in his teenage time line to hide everyone in Kisuke's training ground" Banner said.
"But how are we going to make two more in such a short not-" Kisuke started but Clint cut him off.
"Oh don't even say that Kisuke, we know you enough now" Clint said as he crossed his arms.
"Yeah, you probably have more that two with you already" Thor said and looked at Steve to continue.
"I bet he even has modified it a bit" Steve added.
"I bet on the Kitchen again" Chad said.
"Oh why don't we try-" Yourichi started but Kisuke said with a pout,
"Fine fine! I may have made some arrangements! Don't jump on me like that everytime"
Rukia and Renji just fist bumped while Nat and Kisuke walked out of the room so that they could bring the hidden cloaks from the kitchen.
In mid air, somewhere in New York.
"Hey wait up!" Uryu yelled as he FINALLY caught up to Ichigo.
Ichigo looked behind and stopped in his tracks as he rested his back on a tall sky scraper. They were on the shadowed side of the building so it was cold there.
Ichigo just gave a light smile as Uryu came and stood beside him. But Uryu's expression made him take a step back. But he should have taken more than just A step back.
Uryu came punched Ichigo in his stomach.
"What the hell was that for?! I was leaning on the building! What if i had lost balance and had fell through the glass!" Ichigo yelled.
"Even if you would have fallen into the glass, there are no people inside! Don't you remember that the city was evacuated 2 days ago!" Uryu yelled back as nerves popped on his head.
Ichigo gritted his teeth and stopped his hand from punching Uryu then and there for his idiocy.
"I wasn't here two days ago! I was years into the past baka!" Ichigo yelled.
Uryu's face softened and he casually said,
"Oh yeah"
"Don't speak so casually! And you still haven't told me why you fucking punched me!" Ichigo said as he leaned on the building again.
"Because-" Uryu said as he took out the ear phones out of Ichigo's ears and held them up,
"-of these stupid ear phones"
"What have these ear phones done to you?" Ichigo asked as he crossed his arms and looked away with a scowl.
"Well first of all you shouldn't be wearing earphones at ALL when you are on the battlefield cause you won't be able to hear when you would be attacked! And second, you should put your communication ear bud in one of your ears instead of these. And third of all, i had been calling for you and yelling so that you stop running but you had these damn ear phones on!" Uryu said as he took Ichigo's music pod out of his shihakusho too.
"And what were you listening to anyways? It's not like you are idiot. You are brash but you aren't stupid" Uryu said as he put one ear phone into his empty right ear.
And he heard nothing. Then he looked up to see Ichigo smirking and almost bursting into tears from holding in his laughter.
"You just acted like you couldn't hear me for 25 mins?" Uryu asked as Ichigo's tears fell and he started laughing so hard that his face became red.
"And then you kept running even though you could hear me?" Uryu added and Ichigo somehow managed to nod this time.
"Why in the world would you do that!" Uryu yelled as he threw the ear phones and the music pod down.
It took Ichigo a minute to control his laughter and then finally being calm enough to give back an answer he said,
"Hey, you shouldn't have thrown the pod you know. It's probably broken now that you have thrown it from this height. We are practically 50 floors above the ground" Ichigo said as he scratched the back of his head and stared at the ground even though the ear phones and the pod weren't visible anymore.
"Don't avoid my question damnit" Uryu said as he smacked Ichigo lightly on his head to bring Ichigo's attention to him.
"You remember last night? Where you deceived me into believing that i needed to throw up to get rid of the blockage Twice! Yeah, that's the part you should be worried about" Ichigo said with a smirk.
"So this was all about revenge? I didn't think you would be that kind of a person Kurosaki" Uryu said as he pushed his glasses up, trying to show that Ichigo's prank wasn't a big deal.
"Oh don't give me that look. I know you are greatly flustered~ by my revenge cause you only call me Kurosaki when you hate me" Ichigo said as he poked Uryu on his shoulders.
"Well i guess you are right. . . But it wasn't as bad mine" Uryu said with a smirk.
"So how's your stomach now Ku-ro-sa-ki?" Uryu retorted in a accusive tone.
Ichigo huffed and looked away.
"I guessed it right" Uryu said and both of them started running for patrolling again.
Back at Avengers tower.
"I wanna know what happened last night?" Quill asked as he heard the whole conversation along with screen view in Tony's lab.
"Don't they realise that we can see what they are doing with the help of Spy cams. Not only seeing, but we can also hear each and every word too" Banner said.
"I think they know, but they just don't care" Thor said as he chucked up his last pancake.
"But seriously though, who knows what happened last night?" Jinta asked as he looked at Orihime for an answer.
Orihime just laughed at the memory of the three siblings (Ichigo, Yuzu and Karin) and their cousin (Uryu) sprawled in the completely messed up room.
"You see it started when Ichigo, Yuzu and Karin felt that they weren't able to use their quincy powers. They somehow got a seal on themselves, they still haven't gotten rid of it. Now that we are on this topic, i can tell you what happened last night later, it wasn't even that important" Orihime said with a shrug and then looked at Masaki.
"Do you know about any quincy seal? Just like Gentei Reiin?" Orihime added.
"No i don't" Masaki lied.
"But why are you asking? They can't use their powers at all?" Masaki asked with a concerned glance towards Isshin.
"No, not even Blut. The three of them tried to get rid of the block with Uryu's help but nothing worked. But it's okay i guess. Ichigo only needed his Quincy powers for Blut and Hirenkyaku. He can just use his Hiero and Flash step or sonido. He still has his Getsuga Tensho and Horn of Salvation" Renji said with a shrug.
(Blut: Makes skin very strong and immune to weak attacks.
Heiro: A hollow technique that makes skin very strong (Basically same as Blut).
Flash Step: Going from one spot to another in an intense speed, so it looks like teleportation.
Getsuga Tensho: An attack released from Ichigo's sword that is composed of spirit energy.
Sonido: It's a hollow flash step but faster.
Hirenkyaku: Quincy flash step. But it is faster than flast step and Sonido
Horn of Salvation: Ichigo's shikai release that forms a horn on his left side of his head and . . . you know what? Horn of Salvation has a lot of discription. So you just search Horn of Salvation on internet and you will find a LOT of photos)
"These many attacks even after he has one part of himself blocked?" Isshin asked with wide eyes.
"Yeah, he is like that. You will get used to it" Rukia said as she walked away.
"What about you guys? Are you trained enough to fight these beings? We were trained by the Soup Reapers, Quincy and humans with super powers, so we won't have much problem" Nat stated as she looked at the Guardians.
"Fight on different planets with gravity WAY greater or WAY lower than earth's and you will find yourself being extremely reflexive on earth" Rocket said with a smirk.
Fury who had been hearing this conversation from a good few feet away looked at Kisuke who just nodded as he had been hearing it too.
Without a second thought Fury took out a knife and threw it straight towards Gamora.
Nat had seen the Knife coming but didn't say anything. She knew this was a test.
And suddenly Gamora raised her left arm and caught the Knife before it sliced her face.
"You done playing?" Gamora asked with a smirk.
Nat smirked back and said a small 'Nice' as she walked away.
Back somewhere in the middle of the city.
"So Ichigo, I have been wondering. . .What do you think about Unicorns?" Uryu asked out of the blue.
Back at Avengers tower.
While Tony who was sipping his coffee spat it out and looked at the screen with wide eyes. He tapped his ear bud once to turn it off.
Everyone followed the same step.
"Did Uryu just do that?" Chad asked.
"I thought that he would use his brain a bit to bring Unicorns into his conversation!" Tony yelled.
"I didn't expect that from Uryu" Nat said.
"How else can you expect him to bring out the topic" Fury said with a look.
"Yeah but-" Rukia started but Fury cut her off and said,
"Just leave it to that. We know that Ichigo is going to be here in 30 mins now. So let's start preparing for it"
Rukia nodded and turned to Kisuke.
"Are the cloaks ready?" Rukia asled.
"No. It would take a lot of time to modify two cloaks" Kisuke said.
"Then what are we going to do?! Don't just stand there Kisuke" Renji said as he walked around aimlessly.
Banner looked behind at Renji and rolled his eyes, then he looked towards Kisuke in front of him and said,
"Don't worry, we have a plan"
"And that is?"
"We are going to join the two cloaks and then modify them. It will be a large cloak instead of a smaller one" Banner said as he held up the now big black cloak.
"How much time will this one take?" Thor asked.
"20 mins. . it can go a bit up and down too" Kisuke said with a shrug.
"I can help you out with that" Thor said with a smile as he reached out to his hammer.
"What are you going to do to Uryu and Ichigo?" Masaki asked with a worried look.
"Oh no i am not going to harm them. You forgot that i am God of Thunder" Thor said with a cheeky grin and went out the lab door.
"Did he just say that he is the God of Thunder to make us not worry? Isn't that doing the opposite?" Mantis said.
"Yes it is" Quill said.
"So he is going to make it thunder?" Clint concluded.
"Sounds like that" Chad said.
"Well let's get to work, he isn't a god you know" Steve said.
Everyone looked at him and Jinta said,
"He said he was the GOD of thunder just a few seconds ago"
"I meant it in a metaphorical way. Now c'mon everyone! Get to work!" Steve said firmly and everyone complied.
Back somewhere in the middle of the city.
"So you wanted to know what i think of Unicorns?" Ichigo asked again to make sure he heard the right thing.
". . . Yeah?" Uryu said with a hopeful shrug.
"Okayyy. . . I think they are fake as shit" Ichigo said flatly.
"Oh" Uryu said and then there was a awakward silence between both of them.
"Should i even ask from where that came from?" Ichigo asked without looking at Uryu.
"Nope" Uryu said as he did the same.
After a few seconds Uryu finally had a plan as to how he was going to take Ichigo back.
"Let's go back, i am hungry" Uryu said as he turned around and started running.
"Hungry? We just came here 30 mins ago" Ichigo said but Uryu kept running.
"Uryu what's wrong with you? We have survived wars without eating for days and now suddenly you are hungry? Tell me, is there something you aren't telling me?" Ichigo genuinely asked as he started running too.
"No, i just want to eat that's all. And i specifically want you to eat. You had chucked out all of your food last night if you don't remember" Uryu said with a smirk.
"Oh don't start with that topic again-" Ichigo started irritatingly but Uryu's next sentence made his brain stop.
"I am making you eat food because i regret doing that to you" Uryu said.
Back at Avengers tower.
Rukia and Renji dropped the tools which they had in their hands.
Chad opened his eyes so much that they could see his OTHER eye too.
Toshiro stopped arguing with everyone.
Mastumoto stopped drinking.
Kisuke removed his hat.
Yourichi stopped yelling at Jinta and Ururu.
Jinta and Ururu stopped fighting.
All of them were like this because this was the first time in their WHOLE life that Uryu had apologized.
"Judging from your reactions, this does not happen often" Quill said as he cut the silence.
"This has NEVER happened" Kisuke said.
"Oh i am sure you guys are just overreacting. I mean what he did to Ichigo really was bad" Banner said with a half smile as he picked the tools up from the ground which Rukia and Renji had dropped and continued working on the cloak.
"And maybe he is using this excuse of regret just to bring Ichigo back here" Banner added with a shrug.
All the members of the Soul Group looked at Banner as if he had lost his screw and that's when Banner thought that he shouldn't have said that.
"No you don't understand! Uryu still hasn't apologized to Ichigo for pretending to side with Yhwach at the start of the Blood war! And you think he will apologize this time just because of a prank!" Yourichi said with a stern look as she crossed her arms.
"That sounds BAD. What do you mean by the Blood war?!" Isshin asked frantically.
"We cannot tell you anything else. If you want i can tell you what happened last night and then you can judge why we are acting like this" Chad said as he decided that they wouldn't want to discuss why Uryu apologized, it would turn into a heated debate.
"But how can we judge if we don't know what kind of a person Uryu is?" Masaki asked as she went with the flow.
"He is just like Ryuken. Trust me" Yourichi said as she made a face.
"That's not the point! We want to know about the Blood war and you are trying to make a deal with us by telling us about a prank Uryu did on Ichigo?" Isshin asked.
"Know what the prank was or know nothing" Tony said from across the room, tired of this discussion.
". . . .Fine"
Back somewhere in the middle of the city.
"YOU are sorry?" Ichigo asked with wide eyes as he pointed a finger at Uryu.
"Yeah I am sorry, why do you look so surprised?" Uryu asked as he pushed his glasses up, but never looked behind and continued running.
"Oh it's. . . nothing i guess. So you wanna go back and make me eat food?" Ichigo asked with a amused look.
"Yeah. Don't push this any further. I am trying to be nice for once" Uryu said as he pushed his glasses up again.
'He is fidgeting' Ichigo thought as he noticed that Uryu had pushed his glasses up too many times by now.
Now that Uryu had finally paid attention to his surroundings, he saw the Avengers tower was just a few sky scrappers away.
'Oh this is bad' Uryu thought and he stopped running.
"Why did you stop-" Ichigo asked as he crashed into Uryu but balanced himself again.
"You need to stop doing that! I might fall you know! We are standing and running around in mid air" Ichigo said as he glared at Uryu who just ignored him and kept looking around.
"Umm maybe we should go back later and do a bit more patrolling?" Uryu suggested as he turned to look at Ichigo with a hopeful look.
"What? The tower is just in front of us!" Ichigo said as he pointed at the tower behind Uryu.
"I know but-"
"Hey humans!" Thor yelled from above them.
Ichigo and Uryu looked up to see Thor flying towards them.
Thor lowered his foot to stand in mid air but just fell down a few feet.
"Oh yeah i cannot stand in mid air" Thor whispered sheepishly and continued levitating.
"What are you doing up here?" Ichigo asked.
"I am here to train with you guys" Thor said as he spinned his hammer.
"Yeah but didn't we already train?" Ichigo asked as he rested his hands on his waist.
"You ask a lot of questions" Thor said with a smile as he raised his hammer.
Suddenly clouds covered the sunny sky and lighting started collecting at one point.
Ichigo followed the lines and noticed that the point at which the lightning was getting collected in large amounts was Thor's hammer.
"Woah woah woah! What are you doing?!" Ichigo asked as he covered his eyes with his arm from the harsh wind that had started blowing too. Uryu did the same.
"I said we should train!" Thor yelled as it was hard to hear clearly at the large amount of sound the lightning was making.
"I know what you said but why?!" Ichigo yelled back.
"Cause i want to!" Thor yelled back.
Then Thor backed up his hammer and then with lightning speed bought it upfront as if he wanted to throw it. But what he really was throwing was electricity.
Thunder to be more precise.
Ichigo's eyes widened at the massive attack while Thor looked as if this was his first step in the morning.
Ichigo bought out his small sword from his waist just in time to avoid the attack that was going to hit his neck.
Before Ichigo had time to say anything else, another attack came without a second to spare.
Now their surroundings looked like thunder and clouds and nothing else.
Ichigo moved away from the attack range and asked,
"Why are you doing this all of a sudden?!"
"Oh just a hunch" Thor said and prepared another attack aimed towards Ichigo.
Ichigo then looked at Uryu who was just standing against a building, just 10 feet away from Thor.
"And why in the world you aren't attacking him?!" Ichigo added.
"I-" Thor started but didn't know what to say.
Suddenly Uryu whispered,
"Just attack me too!"
And Ichigo wasn't able to hear that because of the thunder.
"What did he say?!" Ichigo yelled.
"He said he wants to train too! Thor yelled.
"Wha- Uryu! You want to train?!" Ichigo yelled.
"What is wrong with training!? You just lost your quincy powers anyway!" Uryu yelled.
"What- No that's not what i meant!" Ichigo yelled but didn't have time to say anything else as another attack was thrown at him.
Back at the Avengers tower.
Rukia walked over to the glass wall (basically the whole wall was a window) and stared at the scene of Ichigo, Thor ans Uryu fighting.
"Should i be worried?" Rukia asked out loud.
"Maybe?" Clint said.
Rukia turned around and gave him a look.
"What? You do know that Thor's attack cannot harm Ichigo right now?" Clint asked.
"Uhhhh. . ." Rukia was speechless cause she didn't understand a word.
"Are you serious? You didn't know that Thor's attacks aren't even touching Ichigo?" Clint asked with a playful smirk.
Steve just sighed and said,
"Thor will have to go through a reishi separator so that his soul can come out of his body without anything happening to his soul chain"
"Yeah but that doesn't explain how his attacks aren't working?" Rukia asked as she crossed her arms.
"That's because the ban Odin had put on every citizen on Asgard. It's still on Thor. The ban not only protects Asgardians from a soul's attack but also souls from an Asgardian's attack"
"But why? Didn't soul reapers and Asgardians join forces again?"
"Yes they did. But Odin had kept it just in case. He said it was for their own 'safety'. But i think he was just anxious" Renji said.
"Thor's attacks right now will only work on other beings. Ichigo doesn't know that, if the attack will hit him, then it will just go right around him"
"So he is jumping around for nothing?" Toshiro asked and Steve shook his head.
"So it's just like how me, Uryu and Chad needed to change into our soul form to be able to go to soul society to save Rukia from Byakuya and rest of the soul society even though we were human?" Orhime asked Kisuke.
"Yes but a bit different. Here Thor could have been able to attack in his living form even without being dead. But you guys weren't extraordinary people like him at that time, that's why you needed to be in your soul form to have more effect in your attacks and obviously you also needed to pass the precipice world" Kisuke said.
"Who is Byakuya?" Nat asked out of curiosity.
"He is my brother" Rukia said plainly.
Clint choked up and asked with an incredulous expression,
"Your own brother tried to kill you along with rest of the soul society?"
"Yeah, it's a long story" Renji said as he waved his hand as if it was nothing.
While Isshin and Masaki were having a WHOLE different conversation at another corner of the room.
"I thought Ichigo having a weak stomach was just a baby thing and that he would grow out of it after he turned 10 or something" Masaki said casually to Isshin.
"Well now we know that it isn't just a baby thing" Isshin said with a light chuckle.
Their son could be fighting for his life and she would be worrying about the silliest things.
"How long till the cloak is done Kisuke?" Fury asked.
"Just 5 more minutes" Kisuke said as he concentrated at the task in hand.
"All of this just to give Ichigo a suprise?" Matsumoto asked.
"Well we really do want to surprise him with Kazui but mostly we need this extra time to hide Masaki san and Isshin san" Ururu said.
Everyone got surprised at the new voice and Renji asked,
"When did you come in?!"
"I was here the whole time. I just didn't say anything" Ururu said while Jinta just face palmed.
"Is it done Tony?" Chad asked.
"Yeah yeah wait you impatient menaces" Tony said as he wiped the sweat off his forehead.
The cloak lying in front of him was too intricate to work on. Each of it's threads had a kido spell on them with a proper mixture of tech. He wondered how the hell Kisuke managed to even MAKE this thing. But then again, the man was centuries old.
Outside the Avengers tower.
"You know Ichigo? I thought you were fast" Thor said as he launched another attack.
"I haven't even TRIED flash stepping yet!" Ichigo said with a smirk.
'He is enjoying this? I thought he didn't want to train?' Uryu thought as another attack came towards him.
Uryu flash stepped away and released an arrow towards Thor who just used his hammer as his shield.
"Uryu i think you all are overdoing it a bit" Rukia told Uryu through their ear buds. She had requested Tony to switch off Ichigo's earbud for a bit cause she wanted to talk to Uryu.
"What do you mean?" Uryu asked dumbly.
"Thor is getting serious. . .a bit too much" Rukia said.
Uryu looked over and saw that Thor indeed was now starting to attack with more than just training intent.
"Umm. . . Thor! Maybe you want to ease up now!" Uryu yelled.
"Stay the hell out of this human!" Thor yelled and attacked Ichigo again.
"For the last time i am a quincy! Not a hu-" Uryu yelled then noticed something.
Even though Ichigo wasn't attacking back, Thor's attacks weren't affecting Ichigo a BIT.
'It is as if the attack is invi-Oh. . .the soul reaper ban Odin had put on Thor. . .' Uryu thought as he mentally face palmed.
'So Ichigo is doing that hard work and dodging and defending himself with his sword. . .all for nothing?' Uryu thought.
"Rukia, Ichigo isn't going to get hurt anyways. So why are you getting worked up?" Uryu asked into the earbud.
"That's not what i meant! Look at Ichigo! They are shifting towards the Avengers tower without realising!" Rukia yelled into her earbud.
Uryu looked back at the fight and noticed that they REALLY are a LOT closer to the Avengers tower now.
Then be noticed the heated battle between Thor and Ichigo. Both of them had forgotten that even Uryu was there with them.
"Well what the fuck am i supposed to do now?" Uryu asked out loud with a sigh.
