Authors notes.
The first chapter here is optional, more like a prologue so you can skip this chapter if you want. There is nothing wrong with it but it is basically word for word for what happened in the first part of the Avengers movie. I made it so people who have not seen the movie could still understand what is going on without having to watch the whole movie before reading. :D
Enjoy the read. I am so proud of this story so far.
It is a dark night outside of the base, you can hear a loud alarm blaring through the air and helicopter blades from the helicopters that were flying around in the air. A loud voice calls out through the speakers. "All personnel, the evacuation order has been confirmed. Proceed to your designated vehicles for our assisted evacuation. This is not a drill." People are running out of the building, darting in and out between other people trying not to get trampled as they run to their cars. "Emergency personnel please proceed to your designated vehicles." The voice calmly repeated.
One of the helicopters in the air slowly descends to the helicopter pad spinning its tail around. The door slides open and a woman wearing a black and dark blue suit steps out followed by a man with a black eye patch who was wearing all black. They both walk up to a man in a suit who was standing just next to where the helicopter landed. "How bad is it?" The man with an eye patch asked, having to yell over the sound of the blades spinning on the helicopter.
The suited man pulls off his sunglasses and faces the man. "That's the problem, sir. We don't know." He turned around and started walking towards the building. "We should continue talking inside." He motions for the others to follow him into the building. The moment they were out of civilian earshot the man continued.
"Dr. Selvig read an energy surge from the tesseract four hours ago."
Fury raised his eyebrow slightly. "NASA didn't authorize Selvig to go past the test phase."
"He wasn't testing it; he wasn't even in the room. Spontaneous event."
The woman leaned forward slightly putting herself more into their conversation. "It just turned itself on?" She questioned.
"Where are the energy levels now?"
"Climbing. When Selvig couldn't shut it down we ordered an evac." He explained as they walked without changing their pace.
"How long to get everyone out?"
"Campus should be clear in the next half hour."
"Do better." Fury stated dryly. The agent nodded and turned around to walk in the other direction while the other two continued on.
"Sir." The girl chipped in. "Evacuation may be futile."
"So, we should tell them to go back to sleep?"
"If we can't control the tesseract's energy, there may not be a minimum safe distance."
"I need you to make sure that the phase 2 prototypes are all shipped out."
The girl raised her eyebrow. "Sir, is that really a priority right now?"
Nick spins around to face her. "Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on." He turns back around and continues to walk. "Clear out the tech below. Every piece of phase two on a truck and gone."
"Yes sir." The woman says somewhat bitterly as she walks away followed by two armed guards.
Fury sighs and turns into a room. "Talk to me, doctor." He commands.
A man stands up and walks towards him, stumbling a bit. "Director."
"Is there anything we know for certain?"
"The tesseract is misbehaving."
"Is that supposed to be funny?"
"No, it's not funny at all. The tesseract is not only active she is, behaving." The man stated worriedly.
"I assume you pulled the plug?"
"She is an energy source. You turn off the power, she turns it back on. If she reaches peak level- "
"We prepared for this doctor. Harnessing energy from space."
"But we don't have the harness. My calculations are far from complete. And she is throwing off interference, radiation. Nothing harmful, just low levels of gamma radiation. It is surprisingly similar energy-wise to a substance known as ectoplasm, I haven't tested on any myself, but others have. It is extremely difficult to get your hands on."
Nick looked back and forth from the man and the tesseract. "Where is agent Barton?"
The man lets out a light laugh. "The hawk? Up in his nest, as usual." He sticks his thumb in the direction behind him pointed up slightly.
Fury walks away in that direction and waves for Clint to come down to talk.
"I gave you this detail so you could keep a close eye on things."
"Well, I see better from a distance."
"Have you seen anything that might set this thing off?"
"No one has come and gone, Selvig is clean. No contacts, no IMs." He paused. "If there was any tampering sir it was not from this end."
Nick stops. "At this end?"
"Ya, the cube is a doorway to the other side of space, right?" He turns around. "Doors open from both sides."
Suddenly there was a spark that shot out of the Tesseract, causing the two to stumble back. The cube continued to spark blue lightning out around it and the building started to shake. Everyone froze bracing themselves for what was about to come. The blue light and energy start to spin around it and a blue beam shoots out the back of it ripping a hole in the air where it hit. Now there was a blue portal, the blue energy crackling around the edges. A few seconds after forming the portal exploded into a burst of blue light that filled the lab crackling up the walls.
Where the portal once was, stood a man with his head down. Other agents in the room started to close in on him, their guns drawn. He was wearing green and black, he also had black hair and was holding a spear with a blue light on the end of it. Nick called out to the man.
"Sir, please put down the spear." The man looked between Fury and the spear before holding it out and tried to blast the director. The guards opened fire on the man as he leaped through the air. He landed on one of the agents and killed him with his spear. More people opened fire on his back, he spun around throwing knives at the men killing them both.
Loki walked over to Barton who was trying to get up off of the floor and grabbed his shirt, tilting his head to the side. "You have heart." He raised his staff and pressed the tip of it to his chest, blue energy radiating off it. Barton looks up at Loki, his eyes slowly start to glow an electric blue, he looks at him and puts the gun back in his holster standing at attention.
Fury sees that Loki is starting to go around the room, mind-controlling most of the survivors. He gets up and starts to grab the tesseract off its pedestal placing it nicely into a briefcase. As he clips it shut and starts to walk to the exit, Loki's voice rang out.
"Please don't. I still need that."
"This doesn't have to get any messier."
"Of course it does. I have come too far for anything else. I am Loki of Asgard. And I am burdened with glorious purpose." The doctor stands up and starts stumbling forward with a surprised look on his face.
"Loki, brother of Thor." He calls out causing Loki to turn and look at him. Fury continues. Snapping Loki's attention back to him.
"We have no quarrel with your people."
"An ant has no quarrel with a boot."
"Are you planning on stepping on us?"
"I come with glad tidings of a world made free."
"Free from what?"
"Freedom. Freedom is life's great lie. Once you accept that, in your heart," He spins around and touches his staff to the doctor's chest causing his eyes to turn blue. "You will know peace."
"Ya you say peace, I kind of think you mean the other thing."
Barton walks forward. "Sir Director Fury is stalling; this place is about to blow and drop a hundred feet of rock on us. He means to bury us." He turns his gaze to fury who smirks.
"Like the pharaohs of old."
The doctor speaks up too. "He is right, the portal is collapsing in on itself. We got maybe two minutes before this place goes critical."
Loki turns to Barton. "Well then." Clint nods and quickly raises his gun shooting Fury in the chest causing him to fall to the ground dropping the tesseract. They start walking for the door and Barton picks up the briefcase passing it to the doctor.

Coulson's voice calls out over the radio talking to Nick, who had just managed to get up and start walking out of the building, trying to get as far away as possible. "We're clear upstairs sir. We need to go."
Fury opens the door on the roof and runs to the Helicopter he used earlier to get here. The roof cracking behind him from the power of the tesseract. Just as the helicopter takes off, the helipad beneath it starts to collapse in on itself. The helicopter takes to the air trying to get as far away from the building as possible before it explodes.
The earth shakes as the building that they were just in collapses into the ground leavening behind a large creator where it was. The helicopter continues to follow where Loki and the others were going. They hover over the car they escaped in, Nick pulls out his gun and opens the door starting to shoot at the car trying to shoot the driver and Loki.
Loki raises his staff blasting the helicopter out of the sky causing it to spin in a descent to the ground. Nick quickly jumps out of the helicopter landing on the ground with a roll, so he didn't break his legs. He once again opens fire at the car as it is driving away, but they are too far. His radio sounds off again. "Director? Director Fury, do you copy?"
Fury pulls up his radio. "The tesseract is with a hostile force. I have men down." He turns to face the destroyed flaming helicopter. "Hill?"
The woman calls through the radio now. "We have a lot of men still under. I don't know how many survivors."
"Sound a general call. I want every living soul not working rescue looking for that briefcase." Fury responds.
She sighs. "Roger that."
"Coulson get back to base. This is a level seven. As of right now, we are at war."
Coulson's eyes dart around as he picks up his radio again. "What do we do?"
"We need a team."

A small jet lands just outside the small town of Amity Park, out from the jet walks Agent Hill and Director Fury. It is early morning. Hill jogs up to Nick who had a bit of a head start walking towards the city. "Sir, are you sure we can find him here?"
"Our intel says he will be here, he has never left his home before. We just need to find him."
"Our intel also says that he is hostile, and a criminal. Are you sure we should be trying to find him?"
"I believe he is one of our best chances for winning this. And I have a backup plan if things don't work out with him."
Suddenly there was a huge explosion of earth in front of them as dirt and grass started flying up as something crashed into it at high speeds. Inside the small crater in front of them was a boy with snow-white hair and a hazmat suit, the one who they were looking for.
Authors notes
- I am not the best at writing right now, but I hope you enjoyed it anyway. I will be updating all of these chapters I post with better writing as soon as I am better. I just really wanted to share this story with you. Sorry if you don't like it. I would love to hear what you think of it, or if you have any ideas for how to make this chapter better when I update it.
As you can tell, this is set during the first Avengers movie, but it will continue past the plot of the movie. Hope you like reading it, chapter two will be out soon. :)
Ps, this is sometime during season three of Danny Phantom, not sure where I want yet, just after he gets his ice powers. Phantom Planet will never happen in this universe.
