Author's note: Here's the next chapter which is the start of the Avengers movie. I hope you all will enjoy. How will everyone in here react to the movie I wonder? I don't own The Avengers or anything related to Marvel. I will have Thor explain a little bit more about Thanos. And I'm going to have Loki mention all of Thanos's 'children' in this also because I believe that Loki would probably have met them at some point during his time with Thanos including Gormora and Nebula. Please R&R.
The Avengers pt1:
The azure blue of the Tesseract shone bright, its magic streaking restlessly within it as the cube spun in a void of darkness as a beacon of power. "The Tesseract has awakened," intoned a deep voice that grated through the still air. "It is on a little world," he continued, small platforms hovering in an arrangement not unlike a staircase far above mountains of scored rock and crumbling steps, the starry expanse of space stretching beneath, "a human world."
"They would wield its power," he said derisively as the suspended stairs climbed and merged into a series of steps flanked by stone walls, the slabs held above one another by ebony spikes and a sharp square of mineral in the middle with a pale gem glimmering in its center, "but our ally knows its workings as they never will." A hooded figure cloaked in heavy, shimmering material was speaking, knelt to one side of an open landing before and intricate, raised device.
"He is ready to lead." An elegantly curved and golden spear with a swirling blue orb set just below its sharpened tip was horizontally passed over to another's hands, hands bearing a more flesh-like color. This man wore an ensemble of black leather accented with green, the metal of his armor dull in the light.
"Well here's Reindeer Game's entrance." Tony stated.
"Who's the guy that's talking?" Pepper asks.
"The Other." Loki simply answered.
"And our force, our Chitauri, will follow." Chittering creatures snapped faceplates to the metal helms encasing their heads, dark blue lights coming to life along the sides as they shifted anxiously in their numerous rows. "The world will be his, the universe yours, and the humans – what can they do…but burn?" The Tesseract spun as it shone, the strong streaks within its center eclipsing the outer blue and whiting out everything.
"Wow the person that sent these disks weren't kidding about you not being in charge." Steve states.
Loki raises an eyebrow while Pepper speaks up, "Okay I know that you guys learned a little bit more than Phil and I since you watched Thor and Loki's past but can someone tell me a little bit more of this guy The Other and whoever the other guy he was speaking of?"
"Most of you that were here for the first movie know the name of the being that The Other serves under correct? (He receives nods of heads) Thanos is his name."
"What's the deal with this guy Thanos anyway? Point Break you want to explain to us more since you look like you know something? Oh and speak a little slow for us will you." Tony says.
"He's what's called an Eternal, who were once human, but the beings called the Celestials (beings of indescribable cosmic power) selected a variety and experimented on them. Those that survived the testing of the flexibility of their very make-up had as a result much longer lifespan and more profound powers than will ever occur naturally in your evolution, I believe."
"Don't forget that there were some Civil Wars between them at some points in time. They also made home on Titan the moon of Saturn" Loki pointed out and Thor nodded before continuing speaking.
"Thanos was born misshapen, and I don't know why he keeps the Chitauri as company. It came into light about his quest to gain power that he was exiled, I know not what made him want to conquer the Realms."
"I think that reason seems to be important." Erik says.
"Thor your missing an important detail about Thanos, when he finds beings that could be of use to him he 'saves' them training them to be weapons and his 'children' but with me it was different." Loki paused to look at all their faces that ranged from shock, horror, and anger. "There's a few of his children that are called the Black order who I have not seen that often, their names are Ebony Maw, Proxima Midnight, Corvus Glaive, Cull Obsidian. He also has two other children one of them is his favorite daughter Gormora and the other who he hates from what I gathered is named Nebula." Loki finishes.
"Wow how do you know all this?" Darcy asks.
"They would come by a couple times to see what he would be doing to me that day. The only one that would be somewhat kind was Nebula."
Before anyone could speak more a beep was heard, Fury sighs and takes the note and begins to read,
Hello,
You all are beginning to get off topic, so I suggest that you continue to watch the movie and save this discussion for a later time, because there will be a movie that you will be watching eventually that will talk a little bit about Thanos's children preferably Gamora and Nebula but you'll never get there if you keep talking every five seconds so please have the talking during the movies down to a minimal…thank you.
Sincerely,
The Unknown
"Well isn't this person pushy." Tony says.
"We are not done with this conversation brother; we'll talk about when the time comes." Thor says.
A helicopter flew under the overcast night sky and over the ridge of a cliff, blades thrumming. On the other side of the formation a sprawling institution was revealed surrounded by dozens of satellite dishes sending and receiving information, the only lights piercing through the dim being the fluorescents that leaked through the clear window panes of the buildings and the bright headlights of the vehicles.
"All personal, the evacuation order has been confirmed," an agent on the P.A. system informed as the helicopter soared low over the agent, his voice echoing throughout the compound. "Proceed to your designated vehicles for evacuation of the premises – immediately. This is not a drill…"
The agents and scientists weaved through each other in a state of organized disarray, running with papers, briefcases, and equipment in hand to their arranged modes of transport. Those armed carted trunks full of weapons as they drove off the grounds in their vehicles. A soldier directing others past stood in front of a plaque that read:
JOINT DARK ENERGY MISSION
Western Division
Project Pegasus
NASA Space Radiation Facility-
SHIELD Accelerator Test Facility SATF
-the agent's body blocks the rest of the text.
"Are you trying to breed Pegasi, or what do they have to do with anything that you're doing?" Thor questions.
"Wait hold the phone, you've seen a Pegasus?" Darcy asks excitedly.
"Yes that's one name for them but they're simple winged steeds. How would they have become a fantasy for you I know not."
They nodded and then Coulson spoke for like the first time since being in the room, "To answer your earlier question Thor, it's an acronym that stands for Potential Energy Group, Alternative Sources, United States. It helps tracing unusual forms of energy."
The helicopters blades slowed as it lowered to a landing pad clear of agents, with the exception of one male who awaited the craft. Having donned sunglasses and dressed in a suit, Agent Coulson stood unruffled in the churning wind that resulted as the machine landed. Agent Hill slid the door aside and stepped out, closely followed by Director Fury.
He adjusted the tails of his leather jacket as he noted the agents' hurrying in the distance, then strode to Hill and faced Coulson with her to ask, "How bad is it.?"
He removed his sunglasses and uttered, "That's the problem, sir – we don't know."
"If I were to guess, it must be close to when I arrive here." Loki says to everyone in the room.
"You're going to be losing an eye soon, so I hope you're ready." Clint glared at him seething with a little bit of anger.
"Barton, be calm." Coulson says.
"But he brain washed me and then almost killed you!" Clint argued shouting.
"Ah he brain washed me also, so I'm angry with him also." Erik says.
"You mortals have found out I was influenced by Thanos and not in my right mind." Loki snarled.
"Let us all not be at each other's throats through out this movie, please my friends." Thor asks.
"I second that." Darcy says.
The three descended into the depths of the base by use of an elevator, Agent Coulson beginning, "Dr. Selvig read an energy surge from the Tesseract four hours ago."
"NASA didn't authorize Selvig to go to test phase," Fury objected, the scientists who still remained in the building working to cart out their equipment as their superiors strode purposefully through the disorder.
"He wasn't testing it," Coulson argued. "He wasn't even in the room. Spontaneous event."
"It just turned itself on?" Agent Hill questioned incredulously.
"Where are the energy levels now?"
"Climbing," he answered instantly. "When Selvig couldn't shut it down we ordered evac."
"How long to get everyone out?"
"Campus should be clear in the next half hour."
"Do better," Fury commanded. Coulson nodded in acceptance and turned to move back to the surface.
"Sir, evacuation may be futile," Hill said, following the Director down a stairwell that curved around the outside of a grand chamber.
"We should tell them to go back to sleep?" he suggested, tone thick with sarcasm.
"If we can't control the Tesseract's energy, there may not be a minimum safe distance."
"I need you to make sure the Phase 2 prototypes are shipped out," he ordered as they reached the landing.
"Sir, is that really a priority right now-"
"I agree with her," Steve says giving Fury a pointed look "especially since phase 2 involved making weapons from the Tesseract." The few people who didn't know this gasped in shock and Loki raised an eyebrow a little surprised to hear this also.
"Thank you." Hill says smiling.
"Until such time as the world ends," Fury started, turning from where he had stepped onto a row of stairs leading into the testing chamber to face her, "we will act as though it intends to spin on." He continued up as he demanded, "Clear out the tech below – every piece of Phase 2 on a truck and gone."
"Yes, sir," she acquiesced softly as she walked past him, ordering the two armored agents standing guard, "With me."
He gave her back a considering look before he turned and entered into the large open cavity. "Talk to me Doctor."
Selvig stood from where he had been crouched behind an intricate device holding the Cube at its center, tubes and wiring connecting the heavy metal circle and vault lock to the hydraulic and monitoring devices that cluttered the area. The wall behind him displayed a couple of banners, boasting NASA and SHIELD's support and funding of the project. "Director," he welcomed, rushing over to his side.
"Is there anything we know for certain?"
"The Tesseract is misbehaving," he said as behind him one of the scientists moved to prod the aforementioned artifact, the Cube jolting the intruding slim instrument with azure energy and forcing it back, the man gasping at the reaction.
"Is that supposed to be funny?" Fury asked dryly.
"No, it's not funny at all. The Tesseract is not only active," he tried to explain as he met with Fury and walked with him back towards the Cube, "she's behaving."
"I assume you pulled the plug?"
"She's an energy source – we turn off the power, she turns it back on. If she reaches peak level-"
"We prepared for this, Doctor – harnessing energy from space," Fury stated.
Steve frowned towards them a second time, still not happy about that.
"But we don't have the harness," Selvig retorted. "My calculations are far from complete." He moved around behind a computer that was charting the Tesseract's activity as Fury stood before him. "She's throwing off interference. Radiation. Nothing harmful – low levels of gamma radiation."
"That can be harmful," he muttered.
Bruce shrunk a little in his seat when gamma radiation was brought up. There were a few people that passed him a few sympathetic looks but he pretended not to notice. He didn't want them to know he was a little uncomfortable when mentioning his mistake with gamma radiation that caused the Hulk to come to life.
"Where's Agent Barton?"
Selvig scoffed and clarified, "The Hawk?" He jerked a thumb to point over his shoulder, answering, "Up in his nest as usual."
Clint was crouched on a long scaffolding in an upper corner of the space, arms crossed over the low rail as his sharp eyes took in the scene below. His earpiece crackled with Fury requesting, 'Agent Barton, report.' He placed his leather gloved hands on the bar, fingers uncovered and free for attack, and moved to obey.
He repelled from his vantage point down alongside the long banners, the font under the further SHIELD insignia listing the lead scientists for the project as, closer, there was dictated underneath the NASA logo:
MISSIONS

PHYSICS TELESCOPE (ADEPT)

J.D.E.M.
"What is all that stuff?" Darcy asks confused.
"You shouldn't worry about what it is too much, it's just NASA. You just got to worry about how shady SHIELD is." Tony grins at the glares he gets from all the SHIELD agents in the room.
"I gave you this detail so you could keep a close eye on things," Director Fury said once he had landed.
"Well, I see better from a distance," he replied as they walked across the floor.
"Oh, so that's why they call you Hawkeye! I didn't get it till now." Darcy exclaimed then blushed when people started to stare at her.
"Have you seen anything that might set this thing off?"
A blonde scientists warned, "Doctor, it's spiking again," as they ambled past. Selvig rushed to her side and observed the data on the screen with her.
"No one's come or gone, and Selvig's clean," Clint responded, Fury stepping onto the short platform in front of the Tesseract before he joined him, crossing his arms over his chest. "No contacts, no IMs – if there was any tampering, sir, it wasn't at this end."
"At this end?" Fury echoed.
Clint stared at him for a second before explaining, "Yeah – the Cube is a doorway to the other end of space, right? Doors open from both sides."
"Well aren't you very intelligent." Loki smirks mockingly at Clint.
Clint glares at him but doesn't comment not wanting to lose his cool in front of everyone.
Selvig's head was craned down close to the screen as he mumbled in panic, "Not yet," at the Tesseract abruptly beginning to hum. She started emitting crackling sparks and waves of visible blue energy, her actions jolting the very structure of the building and causing Fury and Clint to teeter before they were able to jerk back into balanced stances.
Above, Coulson was thrown slightly at the quake, his hand reaching back to steady himself on the metal pillar he was beside. In another sector, Agent Hill cast her gaze around in her wondering at the event.
The Cube gushed azure waves of bright light, sparkling periodically with her radiation snapping around her as the scientists and agents in the room stood captivated in cautions anticipation. With a whirl the energy swirled and focused before the Cube, gathering and building to initiate a horizontal vortex of thick threaded power from her position. Suddenly it congregated into a beam that shot forward, its rays halting at some point several yards away to begin blossoming outwards to form an ethereal, circular frame around a point that was dark and shining with stars present from another's world. The energy rang thick in the air as the portal gradually grew, a cobalt haze coiling around it in mimicry of heat.
Without warning the act collapsed and exploded, the energy thrown from its coalesced spot to pass harmlessly through the scientists gaping in awe and the armed agents who threw up their arms to shield their heads. The remains blazed along the floor and up the walls before dispersing into the air, the only visual evidence left being the power that crackled along the tile that led to, and where it was gathered in a vague form, where the portal had been.
Some of the waves were drawn upwards to the ceiling by the partially completed device that Selvig had managed, but the rest disappeared as a kneeling figure was revealed. He had come through the portal, the magic of it now sizzling as it evaporated off of his leather clothing and dark hair. Four nameless SHIELD agents raised their guns and approached carefully as he stood, scepter in hand with a small glowing orb set above the staff and between the blades.
"They are going to be messed up by you if they think they could fight you." Darcy pointed out.
Loki nodded in agreement, smirking since that was exactly the case.
A delighted grin stretched Loki's mouth as he breathed shakily, sweat dampening his brow, before he was able to calm the feeling of his success. A few seconds passed as the shock abated in those around him, and then he realized their opposition and readied his weapon.
"Sir, please put down the spear," Fury called strongly.
Thor and a few others tried not to laugh at that, a few chuckles making it through but they didn't burst out laughing.
Loki cast a gaze to his scepter as if debating the request before his eyes darted to the Director and he thrust his arm forward to direct a shock of energy from the orb towards him. Clint tackled Fury out of the way and they grunted as they crashed to the grating of the floor. The agents began shooting from their automatic rifles but the bullets did not even penetrate his clothing as Loki leapt towards one and stabbed him in the chest, knocking another down. He threw knives at the two across the chamber and they yelled as the blades pierced their throats.
The Female scientist cowering behind a computer was blasted by another beam from Loki's scepter as the downed agent raised a gun and had his chest swiftly sliced from the blades atop it. Two agents and Clint, from his position knelt to the floor, raised their guns and began firing. Loki did not react to these until a shot rebounded off his cheekbone, causing his head to jerk.
"Okay, am I hallucinating that you got shot in the face or did that actually happen?" Darcy questioned.
Everyone turned towards him, Loki sighs "It's quite complicated to explain, but I'm able to shapeshift and my body takes physical qualities of the body I shift to."
Everyone seemed pleased with this answer including Thor.
He fired one more beam into the fray, tossing the agents backward as Clint rolled out of the way. He kicked the cut agent at his side who had moved to get up again, his body slamming into the distant wall, and paused.
He panted as his eyes roved the area, all of the agents lying injured on the floor and smoke rising from where his scepter's blasts had burned through the machinery, sparks flying in spurts from the damage to the wiring. Clint lifted himself to all-fours before climbing to his feet, spinning quickly just as Loki approached him. He raised his gun but Loki harshly threw his own wrist to meet Clint's, the assassin's face contorting in pain at the sensation of the end of his radius being bruised so easily.
He maintained his grip on his gun and tried to adjust the angle so to enable him to shoot, but Loki grabbed the injured bone firmly. "You have heart," the god noted.
Fury got to his feet before the Tesseract as Loki raised his spear so the tip gently touched the center of Clint's chest. The gem embedded in the tip pulsed and deep blue energy ghosted over the blade and through the agent. Clint emitted a groaning sigh as the power visibly cracked over his skin and up his neck, surging to his eyes and curtaining them over with shadow. Bright azure suddenly swirled and gathered over his irises as he lifted his gaze to meet Loki's, and unnatural glaze settling over the pupil as he drew back with a sigh.
Clint stood before him as Loki waited, scepter still raised and hand outstretched, and then Clint holstered his firearm. Loki raised his chin in approval and tossed the staff into his other hand as he turned his back to his devoted and moved towards the other agents.
Clint clenched his fist not happy with having to watch himself be brainwashed and to see what he did when he was. Natasha put her hand on his shoulder as to offer a little bit of comfort. He nodded and calmed himself down a little.
Fury's brow furrowed in confusion at the interaction before he turned his attention to the Cube, reaching out to remove her from the large device she had been set in. He placed her with grit teeth, her fizzing power singeing his fingers, into the armored briefcase she had been kept in before they had started testing her. He glanced towards where Loki stood converting the only other agent to survive the onslaught as he snapped the locks shut.
"Please don't," Loki uttered softly. He turned slowly to face towards where the Director had moved to exit. "I still need that."
"This doesn't have to get any messier," Fury offered over his shoulder.
"Of course it does – I've come too far for anything else," Fury cautiously came to face him directly as he proclaimed, "I am Loki, of Asgard, and I am burdened with glorious purpose."
"Loki," Selvig repeated, amazed as he stood from where he had crouched to check the pulse of one of the unconscious agents, "brother of Thor." Loki sent a brief glower his way, splotches of bruising now evident beneath his eyes in the faint lightning. Indicating that he probably hasn't had sleep in some time.
Everyone in the room noticed this and noted it into their minds.
"We have no quarrel with your people," Fury said in an attempt to pacify, a palm raised forward as if to calm the tension of the situation.
"An ant has no quarrel with a boot," Loki remarked succinctly.
"You planning to step on us?"
"I come with glad tidings-" he announced as he stepped over to Selvig before addressing Fury again, "-of a world made free."
"Free from what?" he asked.
"Freedom, freedom is life's great lie. Once you accept that, in your heart," he spun and touched Selvig with his scepter, the gem pulsing again to flood his eyes with black and then bright blue as he gasped. He finished, crooning, "you will know peace."
"Yeah, you say 'peace'…I kind of think you mean the other thing."
As Fury's reply sounded a hum issued from the energy that had been captured above, Clint's eyes darting up to observe the conglomeration of power.
"Sir, Director Fury is staling," Clint informed, pacing over to his god with a vigilant glance sent once more onto Fury and the hand on his gun. "This place is about to blow and drop a hundred feet of rock on us." The energy swirled and shone brighter as it gained strength. "He means to bury us."
"Like the pharaohs of old," Fury confirmed.
"He's right, the portal is collapsing in on itself," Selvig reiterated. He summarized the data on the screen he had moved over to, one connected to the surveying equipment strategically placed around the area, "We've got maybe two minutes before this goes critical."
"Well then," Loki says decisively as he shares a glance with Clint. Without a word he draws his gun and shoots Fury in the chest, the Director thrown onto his back with a groan.
The four walk from the room, Clint bending down to grab the briefcase as they march past Fury's prone form.
Selvig holds his hands out for the container and Clint hands it over, lengthening his stride in order to lead the group. Loki stumbles and bends over with a pained gasp before righting himself, the agent following placing a hand on the small of his back in support in case he falters again.
"Uh were you in pain from torture or something?" Darcy asks, a few people looked shocked that she asked that.
Loki didn't answer her though he just gazed down to the floor.
Clint ducked under a grating that cordoned off one of the underground garages as it raised, Selvig clutching the briefcase to his chest as he, Loki, and the additional agents followed. "I need these vehicles," Clint said as he gestured to the parked trucks.
The radio on Agent Hill's hip rustled with static as she asked, "Who's that?" referring to Loki climbing into the box of one of the trucks and crouching low as he panted. Selvig piled himself and the Tesseract into the front seat as the other agent chose the car beside them.
"They didn't tell me," Clint replied as he passed her and headed for the driver's seat, opening the door.
She turned away with wondering, furrowed brows. "Hill!" Fury's call came over the radio she held in her hand, causing Loki and Clint to whip their heads towards her. "Do you copy?" In the other chamber he ripped the bullet out of his vest.
"Barton has turned." She moved to face said agent as he drew his gun and began firing shots at her, Hill rolling to the side and kneeling behind a wall as she grabbed her gun.
Clint fired a few shots as he leapt to the side of the truck, diving in before slamming the door closed. The tires screeched as he spun and pulled the vehicle onto the exit ramp, Hill's shots bouncing off the doors of it and the car following.
The azure energy had collected into a large ball in the center of its growing influence on the ceiling of the space. Fury stumbled out, hunched over his radio as he braced himself on the frame of the exit for a second as he shouted, "They have the Tesseract – shut them down!"
Agent Hill threw her radio into the back of the jeep as she vaulted into the driver's seat, starting the engine and engaging in the pursuit ordered.
There were several cars with flashing yellow lights that tailed the vehicle Clint was steering, and as one got too close and allowed the agent in the front seat to lean out his window and open fire Loki braced himself and shot another devastating ray from his scepter. The top half of the car was mangled as it veered off to run up a row of stairs, flipping and sliding as the truck behind it mercilessly shoved it onwards.
The power above surged and gathered as it spun and pulsed. Fury ducked under the pipes and grating that fell few agents carried a load of suitcases down the stairs when a shockwave shook the ground beneath their feet, knocking them down the flight of steps and sending their equipment tumbling. "Okay, let's go. No-No, leave it! Go!" Coulson ushered, forcing them from the area.
Agent Hill's jeep skid out from a passage that cut in front of Clint, and he frowned fiercely at the obstacle as she pulled the emergency brake to spin sharply around so to face his truck. He rammed into her bumper and drove her back, dismissive of her brakes. She kept one hand on the steering wheel as she grabbed her gun, raising it to shoot through the windshield at them. Clint had his handgun held out the window as he returned fire.
"We're clear upstairs, sir," Coulson reported as he climbed into the back of a vehicle filled with half a dozen armed agents. "You need to go." The tall lamps encircling the open landing pad blurts into sparks at the quakes tearing their wiring as Director Fury ran out to the awaiting helicopter. They lifted as he was seating himself, the SHIELD logo imprinted on the ground below them fracturing at the disturbance from beneath it.
Clint drew his gun in after Hill had to focus on her braking, and jerked his steering wheel from side to side. His front wheels followed the motions and Hill's jeep was spun and tossed to the side as they barreled past. She hurriedly regained control of the vehicle and sped after them.
The remaining energy of the portal condensed before exploring outwards, the ground above ballooning upwards before sinking abruptly. The campus collapsed in on itself as dictated by its distance from the origin, blasts igniting and smoking when machinery that had been left behind was impacted. The truck Coulson was seated in was jerked roughly when the lengthening radius reached them. Fury watched with wide eyes as all of the buildings were torn apart to gravel and pulled downwards.
Underground the tunnels were caving in onto the vehicles, the edge of the blast following rock and shooting sparks and towards the exit ahead. Above, Coulson gaped as all of SHIELD's satellites screeched as they were pulled down into the mammoth crater, the edge of destruction gaining on them before it halted.
The earth beneath fell heavily around Hill's truck and she was forced to stop, her head slamming forward into the dashboard as boulders piled around her. A headlight shone as a display of her being at the fringe, Clint left without pursuit as the automatic doors out of the tunnels slid open before him. Loki stood in the back and faced forward with his scepter in hand at the chopping of the blades of the helicopter.
"What a giant car chase." Tony says to Pepper who nods her head.
Clint turned sharply when the aircraft descended onto them, then weaved over the dry terrain back around to face Fury once the helicopter had gained altitude again. Fury slid the door to the side and used his handgun to fire, the rounds piercing the glass of their truck and shooting into the front seats. Selvig ducked to the side as Clint flinched and used an arm to cover his eyes. The vehicle was held steadily with determination, and Loki reeled back and shot a beam through the engine at the base of the chopper's tail. It burst into flames and began to spin as Clint drove underneath its fall, Fury jumping out of the side and grunting as he rolled upon landing.
The helicopter's blades continued to rotate and cut themselves into pieces against the ground, metal flying off with the momentum as the craft skid. Fury shot after Loki, but the god was out of range. Clint returned to the dirt road and drove on, Loki bracing himself on the roof as he stood, allowing an open-mouthed smile of victory as he exhaled heavily.
"Director?" Coulson inquired over the radio. "Director Fury do you copy?"
"The Tesseract is with a hostile force," he responded. "I have men down. Hill?"
"A lot of men still under-" she replied levering herself out of the wreckage, "-I don't know how many survivors."
"Sound the general call," Fury ordered. "I want every living soul not working on rescue out looking for that briefcase."
"Roger that," Hill murmured, voice filled with exhaustion.
"Coulson, get back to base – this is a Level 7. As of right now we are at war."
"What do we do?" Coulson asked. Fury lowered his radio and stared off into the distance, options and their outcomes vying for attention within his mind.
T.B.C
Author's note: How was it so far? Sorry that I'm stopping it right here I always thought it would be a good idea for this part to be a great stopping point. I'll probably make the next chapter longer but I'm not sure yet. I might have some deleted scenes added into the movie where they go but I'm not so sure yet. Please R&R.
