They were two against one.
Against a frost giant supposedly weak to heat in the middle of a burning, exploding inferno… And they were getting creamed.
It was honestly terrifying. Tony would aim his blaster at supergiant, but then she would vanish in a green shimmer only to appear right behind Tony, kick him in the back to send him flying, only to appear right where Tony was now headed in his mad fall.
Grab his arm, and to his horror Tony could see his armor crumbling away by the mere touch revealing that Loki in this blue form had the body temperature of liquid nitrogen!
Only reason the touch never reached Tony's skin was because Nebula fired from below and she flung Tony down towards Nebula so Tony now rammed directly into the blue cyborg.
Holy fucking shit… illusions… teleportation… this ice bullshit.
If Loki had been using all his powers at New York they wouldn't have been able to take him down that easily?! It actually seemed kind of insane now?! How had they managed to knock him out?!
Only thing Tony could come up with was that the Hulk had simply surprised the demi god, which did seem plausible from what Tony remembered from the footage.
It had been a moment of luck on their part, Loki being oblivious and overconfident for a few seconds and the Hulk surprising him…. Not like this was going to happen here. Fuck.
"Tony." Nebula hissed holding her makeshift arm which was honestly a crappy piece of work from Tony's side. "We can't beat her. We have to go."
"Isn't there something we can do to get her out of him?!" Tony exclaimed only for a wall of ice to come and separate them.
"You maggots…" Supergiant inside Lokis now blue body walked towards him. "You are allowed the honor, the privilege of serving our lord! AND THIS IS THE THANKS?!" she shouted, flinging shards of ice Tony barely dodged.
"You crazy bitch!" Tony shouted. "THANOS IS FUCKING DEAD!"
"NOOOOOO!" Supergiant screamed. "Thanos is eternal! HE IS EVERYTHING!" she shouted releasing a huge gust of pure magic knocking both Tony and Nebula to the side as well as shaking the cave even more.
"Fucking hell she has no control." Tony whispered then he halted.
"Tony!" Nebula managed to jump over the ice-wall to him. "Fifteen minutes! We got to go!"
"Wait, give me five more minutes. I have an idea." Tony whispered.
Nebula looked seriously at him. "Five." she stated. "Then we leave. What is your idea?"
"She's mentally unstable, and she's already lost most of her mind." Tony pointed at the raging Supergiant. "Go all in."
Nebula quieted.
"She wants to believe Thanos never left, that he's some sort of god… Thanos is dead." Tony stated and Nebula looked up.
"Yes… Thanos is dead." Nebula stood up then started to walk, raising her gun. "Thanos is gone!" she exclaimed.
"No!" Supergiant hissed.
"And you… You were never going to be worthy of him!" Nebula stated.
"LIAR!" Supergiant shouted.
"I am a daughter of Thanos!" Nebula stated. "And you're nothing!"
"NOOOOOOOO!" Supergiant came running straight for Nebula but this time, her rage really seemed to blind her, she was uncoordinated and Nebula was stone cold and precise.
Then Tony came from above. "HEY SUPERGIANT!"
Supergiant looked up.
"Thanos can suck my dick and kiss my ass!" Tony shouted as he fired.
Supergiant screamed as she blocked.
"You creedence, Thanos is everything!" Supergiant screamed.
"He's nothing and fucking dead!" Tony exclaimed. "Beside, he never even liked you. I bet he left you on this moon just to get rid of you!"
"No!" Supergiant hissed.
"It's true, you were always disgusting in his eyes. A mistake." Nebula smirked.
"No!" Supergiant gasped.
"Face it, you are a fucking joke." Tony stated. "And so was Thanos. Now he's not even that, now he's just fucking dead."
"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Supergiant screamed spreading out Lokis arms as everything shook, the cylinders vibrated and then one exploded, she reached out a hand. "YOU WILL DIE!"
And then, nothing.
Tony blinked, Supergiants eyes widened and she tried again but the arm stayed in the air. "My… My arm." she hissed. "What's wrong with it?!" she asked. Then her face changed, her eyes shortly flashing green. "I think you have that wrong, that's my arm." then they changed back. "STOP IT! BACK OFF!" "GET THE HELL OUT OF MY BODY!" and they blue body of Loki started to stumble around.
Wide-eyed Tony looked at it. "Now that's a serious case of Jekyll Hyde syndrome." he commented. "Except those are two Mr Hydes."
"Tony, five minutes are up!" Nebula stated. "Time to leave." and she turned around and ran.
"LOKI!" Tony shouted. "Turn back, I can't carry you when you're blue and so cold!"
Loki hissed grabbing his head, but his fingers were turning pink. Tony didn't wait for the rest of it to change as he flew in and grabbed Lokis arms then flew upwards lifting the demi god with him.
Then a pair of yellow eyes looked up. "You fool." and Supergiant grabbed Tony's hands.
"HEY!" Tony shouted. "I am trying to safe your life stupid!"
"I don't need saving from the likes of you!" Was the reply and the struggling continued.
"STOP IT!" Tony exclaimed as he nearly dropped the body just as he flew over an inferno.
Loki groaned as he looked up, his eyes green. "Tony… Drop me."
"What?" Tony asked.
"Trust me… Drop me." Loki asked. "Into the flames… Do it."
Tony hissed.
"Do it now." Loki asked as his eyes turned back to yellow.
Tony swallowed as he flew over the firing explosions. "Okay… This better not be bullshit." he swallowed and he let go. And Lokis body dropped.
Supergiants yellow eyes opened wide and her mouth opened. "No… NOOOOOOO!" she screamed zooming down towards the flames and then, in a shimmer the two separated Supergiants blue body appearing at a ledge and Loki kept plummeting.
Loki though smirked and in a green shimmer he vanished only to appear right behind Supergiant on her ledge. "You never learn do you?" he asked as he lifted a fist. "THIS IS FOR ASGARD!" he shouted as he hit Supergiant square in the face and send her backwards, down the ledge and plummeting down towards the flames as she screamed.
"NOOOOOO!"
Wide-eyed Tony looked at the entire scene as a big explosion sounded and the cave ceiling fell, Tony looked up. "Shit." he hissed just as the rocks came, he tried to fly but it landed right on Tony and he fell to the ground, rocks covering his body. Tony hissed as he laid beneath the collapsing rocks, minutes until everything was going to blow.
Well, he had kind of counted on something like this. At least Loki and Nebula was going to make it out.. Loki would go on, just like Tony had planned. And he would make things right… He had made the right choice, he knew he had.
Just then, all the rocks were flung apart by green magic wide-eyed Tony looked up to see a demi god in front of him.
"Don't think I don't know what you're trying to pull Tony Stark." Loki seethed. "Settling me with a debt which can never truly be repaid. A debt to you?" he asked. "That's not going to happen, Stark!" And he grabbed Tonys arm, then lifted Tony up on his back. Iron man suite and all… holy shit demi god strength!
"Wow, did you know Supergiant would jump out of you if you fell?" Tony asked.
"If she didn't remember I can teleport." Loki hissed as he ran with Tony on his back. "She was panicking though, and had only been in the possession of my body for twenty minutes. It didn't fall natural to her yet."
Behind then the explosions sounded, rippling through the entire moon.
Tony squinted his eyes. "We're not going to make it." he whispered.
"Yes… we ARE!" Loki shouted and suddenly everything turned to a green shimmer, as their sight cleared again they were somewhere else. And then a second jump, and a third until finally they were at the hangar.
Tony had only seen it ones when they had arrived, he saw the opening going out into the cold space. There was no ships in the hangar though they were all gone.
"They took all the ships." Tony breathed. "They all left."
Loki shook his head. "Not all. Look." he pointed out the opening and out there, was a single ship hovering, waiting. "One last jump Tony." he informed and in a shimmer they vanished only to appear and collapse in a metal room.
"TONY! LOKI!" Tony looked up to see a white scaly familiar alien as well as other prisoners.
"STEP ON IT!" Nebulas voice sounded from the cockpit. "NOW!" and the ship started to fly, barely did it start as suddenly an explosion rippled through space. Wide-eyed Tony turned to the window and saw cracks running all across the moon and then… as planned.
It exploded. And the shock wave made the entire spaceship shake sending Tony back down on the ground.
Wide-eyed he laid there and finally allowed the helmet to be removed. "We… We made it." he gasped.
Loki was sitting, he looked pale as a sheet. Looked like he didn't really believe it either.
"Do… Do you think Supergiant is." Tony swallowed.
"If the fall didn't call her. That sure did." Loki gasped.
There was quiet, absolute quiet. Tony looked up, he saw Lokis ash gray face looking at him.
Then, a familiar cyborg came walking and Tony looked at her.
And then, it was like a miracle. Nebula she… She smiled. A soft smile, even reaching her eyes. It was the first time Tony had ever seen her like that. "You, Tony Stark. Is an utter fool." she informed.
Tony swallowed as he nodded. "So I have been told."
Loki glanced away, then he smirked. He held a hand over his face as he chuckled, shaking his head.
"Lokes?" Tony asked.
"Forgive, I just really doubted we were going to make it." Loki admitted. "Especially me."
Tony smiled as well, then he sniffed. Tears appearing in his eyes. Loki as well looked up, tears falling down his face and then they embraced each other as they laughed and cried.
Soon joined by Nebula who held both of them.
"What am I to do with you two?" Nebula asked.
Tony swallowed. "I don't know Nebs, I really don't."
Loki shook his head. "I suppose we need to drop these people off first, then it's earth."
"Yeah." Tony gasped. "Earth, I'm going home." he swallowed.
