Hello everyone, long time no see, last time it was the past decade am I right? So here's the new chapter of 'The Avenger's Titan'. But before we get into the story, let's check the reviews shall we, there are a couple of them:

RyuujiVantek: thank you.

grabielamartinez199: Yes, yes I am and will do

raikun29: First review, WHAT?! He does have a son?! No no no, you're pranking me, I don't believe it, but I'll look that up to see if it's true. Now let's see…
"One hour later." With a french accent
…Oh my…so he does have a son called Ian…would you look at that. No, wait Marvel I-I didn't knew about it! I swear I didn't! HELP ME AHH!
But all seriousness I genuinely didn't knew, what are the odds right? But thanks for the review.
Second review, yes he has wings instead of a tail, my titan oc my rules, the backstory, yeah…not my finest work. But you're right I want to work it better in interaction, which could still be better but I think it is good enough, the backstory will be fleshed out in the future, for the 2014 godzilla arc.
Third review, well yeah he might be powerful and all, but he has little to no fighting experience so it was only logical that he would be outmatched by both of them. Thanks for reviews, they mean a lot.

Raven2327: Glad to know that my story is worthy of such honor, thanks :)

Guest 1: Yeah about that, I'm afraid that won't happen, the first one not until later on, and the second one simply no, that would be overkill, so no sorry.

Guest 2: Here's your update :)

Guest 3: How did you do it? Are you spying me? LEAVE ME ALONE!

And with that out of the way, let's dive into this new chapter, allons-y!


Chapter 5: The colors of anger

BOOM!

An explosion covered the lab, sending everyone crashing against the walls and sending Natasha, Bruce and Ian outside of the lab and falling hard on a lower level. The first ones to recover were Tony and Steve.

"Put on the suit" Steve told him

"Yeah." Tony answered as they rushed out of the room while alarms could be heard all across the helicarrier

The next one to get back up was Fury, "Hill!" he said through his earpiece

"External detonation. Number three engine is down. We've been hit. Can they get it running? Talk to me." Hill said as she approach an agent

"Turbine looks mostly intact, but it's impossible to get out there to make repairs while we're in the air." The agent explained while looking at the screen in front of him

"If we lose one more engine, we won't be. Somebody's got to get outside and patch the engine." She told Fury

"Stark you copy that?" Fury asked

"I'm on it." Tony answered through the comms

"Coulson, initiate defensive lockdown in the detention section, then get to the armory." He ordered "Romanoff?" he asked as he left the lab


Back with Natasha

"We're okay" she said as struggled to free her foot from a pipe that fell on her foot, right beside her were Ian who was a little dizzy from the explosion and Bruce who looked to be okay, but he was starting to groan a lot.

"We're okay right?" she asked as she noticed that Bruce was starting to act weird.

"Oww, what happened?" Ian asked to no one as he sit back up

"Ian, you're okay?" she asked

"Yeah, just a little dizzy but I'm okay. What about you- Wow are you okay?" he asked as he saw that her foot was stuck under a pipe. He quickly got on his feet and easily lifted the pipe with his super strength. She quickly got to her feet before thanking him.

"Thank you Ian."

"You're welcome, Doctor Banner, are you okay?" he asked him but he was groaning a lot, it didn't took long for them to realize what was happening.

"Oh no, Bruce you got to fight it. This is just what Loki wants. We're going to be okay, listen to me." She told him as she and Ian tried to approach him but we're unsure what to do other than to try to reason with him.

"Are you hurt?" came the voice of an engineer who was walking by and saw them but Natasha made them signs to leave while Ian was still trying to reason with him

"It's going to be all right Bruce, we'll help you and keep you safe from whatever it's happening, I promise you I will help-" Ian said but was cut off

"YOU PROMISE?!" Bruce yelled with a monstrous voice as he began to turn into the monster that's deep inside of him, leaving nothing but fear in both Ian and Natasha's face before casting them a last glance as he continued to transform.

Without a second to lose, Natasha grabbed the boy's hand, they looked behind them only to see that Bruce was no more, replaced by a green monster full of rage, named Hulk, who looked at them full of rage and charged at them with a mighty roar.

"Don't let go." Natasha said as both begun running away from Hulk, who was right on their tail. And with a little jumping and running they manage to lose him, but that didn't meant they we're out of danger, once the hulk lost them out of sight he began to wonder around looking for them. Hiding behind some columns, Natasha was recovering her breath, she looked at Ian who was scared and breathing very fast, she kneeled down to his level

"Shh, it's okay, it's okay, we'll get out of here, but I'm going to need you to be very quiet while we walk and never leave my side understood?" she whispered to him, he only nodded before taking her hand and walking out of the place behind Natasha who was holding her gun with her free hand .

As they walked they would hear heavy footsteps and some loud roars in the distance reminding them of the present danger. But soon enough everything got very quiet, too quiet for Natasha's liking when suddenly, Hulk appeared seemingly out of nowhere, roaring at them, she then shot a pipe right over Hulk's head which had pressured gas, distracting him long for both of them to get away. They reached a small corridor wide enough for just one person to pass at the time.

"Go I'll be right behind you." She instructed as Ian began to run as fast as he could, Natasha following, but soon enough Hulk was also behind them.

Ian didn't notice but he was getting further and further away from Natasha, while Hulk was only getting closer to her as he destroyed everything in his path. Once close enough, he backhanded her, sending her crashing against the hard metal wall. Ian heard it, he turned around and saw how Hulk was about smash her.

He began to think he needed to do something, but Hulk was very scary, and he was very afraid of him, however if he didn't do anything, Natasha, one of the few people who has showed him nothing but kindness, and probably one of the few people he could consider as human say 'friends' would be hurt or worse. So he decided that despite his fear, he wasn't going to let his friend get hurt.

He charged at hulk and jumped on his head and started punching his face "Stay away from her you jerk!" he yell as he kept punching his face, Hulk was violently trying to get him off. But then a blur send them through the wall, once on the other side it was revealed that it was Thor who knocked them out.

The three of them quickly got to their feet and into face off getting ready for a fight. On one side there was Hulk and in the other was Thor and a little nervous Ian.

"Are you hurt?" Thor asked the boy

"I'm okay, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, but it seems that we'll be starting your training sooner than we though."

"Understood, so what first?"

"First lesson, make sure your stance is strong but will allow you to be ready to dodge any attack he could throw at you, and also to be able to respond to his attack quicKLY!" Thor told him as Hulk tried to punch him, only for Thor to demonstrate his lesson by dodging his strike and counter with one of his own, he then dodge another strike but had to block Hulk's next punch who then began to put pressure, making Thor use both of his arms to hold Hulk's arm.

"We're not your enemies, Banner. Try to think." Thor said struggling trying to reason with him but to no avail, before turning to Ian "Strike his leg!" he told him

Ian nodded as he nervously went and punch Hulk's knee, making Hulk to lose his balance, this allowed Thor to deliver a right hook followed by an uppercut to the green monster.

"Now strike him in the face and step back." Thor said, and Ian did so, he ran at Hulk who was staggered by the last strike and punch him right in the face and he stepped back just in time to avoid a swing from said monster. Thor then came and delivered a right hook and dodge Hulk's punch.

"Second lesson, analyze your opponent, try to find his weak points, wait for the right opportunity and when you're ready, you strike." He told him as he extended his hand as Hulk came charging at them.

Ian was wondering what he was doing, but focused on what Thor just said, search for weak points on the charging Hulk, he was getting very fast and close to them, maybe he could use that on his favor, with how fast he was stopping would be very hard, so he could attempt to go for his legs, that way, Hulk would fell hard on the floor. So got ready to make his move, he waited for Hulk to get close enough, meanwhile his left leg started to glow with a blue color, he then turned to Thor and with a simple look between them they managed to make plan of attack. When Hulk was close enough, Ian ran at him, he then ducked Hulk's punch and kicked his legs with his glowing leg, making Hulk trip over and was about to fall on Thor but Mjolnir arrived just in time to his hand at swing it at Hulk's face sending him crashing at a nearby jet.

At first it seemed that it worked but they quickly saw that they mainly just made Hulk angrier, who then ripped one of the jet's wings and threw it at them, both of who were charging at the monster

"GET DOWN!" Thor yelled at Ian as both avoided the wing, Thor then launched his hammer at Hulk, who caught it in his hand, but didn't manage to stop it and landed on the ground still holding Mjolnir, he tried to raise the hammer but it didn't budge, he tried to lift it but no matter how hard he try, it wouldn't move.

Thor then came and delivered a knee in Hulk's face before grabbing his hammer and getting on top of Hulk. Ian was not far behind as he jumped and grabbed on to Hulk's right arm. Hulk got very irritated and then jumped through the roof with both of his opponents, and landed back on the lab where they were a couple of minutes ago.

Hulk quickly got up and grabbed Ian, who was still on the ground by the leg and used him as a weapon to strike Thor who just got up, sending him across the room, then he slammed Ian to the ground before throwing him into Thor, just as he was getting closer to the duo a jet could be seen from the lab's window that started firing at Hulk, this didn't manage to do anything besides making him angry, so he then jumped into the jet before starting tearing it down.

Thor and Ian, who had taken cover from the jet, were now able to recover their breath for a moment.

"Do you think he will be okay?" Ian asked him as he got back to his feet

"What?"

"Do you think he'll get hurt?"

"I'm sure he'll be fine, from this fight alone I can say the Hulk is quite durable." Thor responded

"But should we have followed him to make sure he doesn't get hurt once he reaches the ground? What if something bad happens to him? What if-." Ian was getting more and more worried for Bruce, he knew Bruce wasn't doing all of that voluntarily and he wanted to check if he was okay, but was cut off by Thor grabbing his shoulders

"Ian, calm down. I know that you're worried about him, so am I, but right now we have a more important task at hand, I need you to help see that Loki doesn't escape from his cell or more people will get hurt. I promise you will look for Banner once we check on Loki, all right?" Ian was still unsure but after a minute he sigh and nodded and the two went to the detention area.

They managed to arrive without much trouble, but not fast enough for they saw Loki cell opening up, Thor sprinted attempting to stop him from leaving, he was close enough he launched himself at Loki, who seemed surprised at first, but Thor simply went through him for it was just an illusion, Ian, who was behind him stop on his track when he saw the illusion and saw how the cell's door closed behind Thor trapping him. They then turned and saw Loki outside looking at Thor whit a mind controlled soldier behind him who closed the door.

"Will you ever not fall for that?" Loki mocked him

As the soldier was leaving he saw Ian and fired at him, fortunately for Ian, he was bullet proof and he went punched the soldier, landing in front of Loki unconscious, who just realized that the offspring was there as well.

"It's seems you got yourself a new pet." Loki said as Ian approached him. Thor enraged punched the cell leaving a crack on the glass but also making the cell to almost fell of the helicarrier, leaving everyone on the edge.

"Let him go." Ian said

"What will you do if I don't? Attack me? Your father might be powerful but you're hardly a threat, as we both already know. Unless you want to recreate that scene, maybe we could find a new ending, don't you agree?" then the soldier started to get back up.

"Ow where am I? What-"he was interrupted by blue blast that came from the real Loki who was away of everyone else. Ian was left in shock, he just killed someone who worked for him.

"Why did you do that?!" he yelled at the god

"I could ask you a similar question. Why would you live among these pathetic creatures, they're nothing to someone like you. You could rule over them with ease. So why?"

"They're not pathetic! They're more than what you can see! Yes some of them are bad, but there are some who are good, they are an example of what's the balance of the world."

"Balance? You think are an example of some natural order? You really are so naïve! Humans destroy their world and each other's out of greed and pleasure. With no remorse of what happens to all to the creatures of this world. All because of their freedom, your father should have killed them a long time ago, but I guess I'll have to do his job, for it appears not even he can do it properly."

This angered Ian who went to attack him but Loki effortlessly dodge him over and over again all with a grin on his face.

"Ian! Leave, you can't fight him yet!" Thor said as he watched the whole thing unable to do anything to help his student.

Loki grabbed an incoming punch and started twisting his arm, making Ian fall to his knees.

"Oh my, brother. Have you gotten attached to this child? How about we see just how attached you are to it." He said as twisted even more Ian's arm, making him yell in pain, the god proceeded to dislocate his arm getting an even louder yell from the child. He then let it go, Ian then fell to floor holding his arm in pain. Loki then proceeded to grab him launched him against the hand rail. Ian tried to get back up but was interrupted by a savage kick to the face. Loki then lifted him up and started to punch him with his staff up before he slashed him across the chest.

"NOO! Loki stop it! He has nothing to do with this!" Thor pleaded to his brother, who looked at him with an evil grin before punching Ian one more time, falling to the ground before walking back to the console. Ian weakly got back to his feet, and he was going to attack again but halted himself, he remembered what Thor told him, look for a weakness, but it was hard, he hadn't shown any kind of weakness, he would need to take him by surprise.

"Humans think us immortals, would you like to find out?" Loki said as he pushed a button and the cage dropped with his brother inside to the ground. As he was about to leave, he saw Ian standing once again

"So much for being the offspring of the beast. Any last words?" he said as he grabbed him by the neck, but failed to see agent Coulson coming from behind a strange weapon, but Ian did and grew a small smirk and soon his back started to glow.

"Y-yes, this." He then opened his mouth as wide as he could and shot a blue beam point blank in Loki's face, it wasn't quite powerful as Ian wanted but in his state it was more than enough for Loki to drop him and roll out of the way for Coulson to shot Loki with an orange beam that send him through the wall.

Coulson dropped the gun and went to check on Ian who was on the ground half conscious, holding his chest in pain.

"Hey, hey kid talk to me, what happened?"

"W-where is he?" Ian ask, Coulson understood who he was talking, he turned to the hole on the wall but no one was there, Loki had gotten away

"He's gone, but don't worry, we'll stop him."

"I'm s-sorry I-I couldn't s-stop him." Ian said still in pain

"No no it's okay, it's not your fault, and he just was smarter than all of us."

Fury then came in followed by a squad of shield soldiers, he approached the duo and was speechless for second before asking

"Where is he?"

"Sorry boss." Coulson said as he pointed to the hole leading to the empty hallway, Fury sighed before looking at the kid and then pressed his earpiece.

"Get a med team to the detention level, the kid is injured." This was heard not only by the med team, but by everyone including agent Hill, Natasha, Tony and Steve.


The Med bay, a couple of minutes later

Ian was sleeping on a bed, recovering from Loki's beat down, but thanks to his healing factor he was recovering quickly, the slash on the chest was almost gone, and it had reduced to a small cut. Beside his bed was Steve, Tony and agent Coulson. It was dead silent, no spoked a word for they could only watch the floor and feel defeated, the only sound was the heart monitors reading Ian's pulse.

Steve in particularly felt guilty for the kid's condition with how close he and Ian became, even though he knew there wasn't something he could have done about it in that moment, he kept wishing he would have been able.

The door opened to show Fury coming in, the moment he entered he felt the dark ambience

"Where dead in the air up here." he began "Our communications, the location of the Cube, Banner, Thor…I got nothing for you. Yes, we were going to build an arsenal with the Tesseract. I never put all my cards on that number, though, because I was playing something even riskier. There was an idea, Stark knows this, called the Avengers initiative. The idea was to bring together a group of remarkable people, to see if they could become something more. To see if they could work together, so when we needed them, they could fight the battles we never could. I see now that he could be one of them, not a threat, a hero."

Tony had heard enough and decided to leave the room, leaving Fury, Steve and Coulson behind.

"Well it's an old fashion notion." Fury said before leaving

"We'll get him for this, I promise." Coulson tried to reassure Steve, while he approached the bed

"I know. Keep an eye on him for me, I need to do something." Steve ask Coulson who nodded as Steve left to look for Stark

After a while he found him looking at where the cell holding Loki had been. Tony heard him but still never turned to look at Steve.

"How did the two met?" Tony asked

"He was in the streets, alone, scared, crying. He was lost. And when I saw him in the eyes, I could see myself in him. Alone in a world we didn't knew."

"He's a good kid, but I'm sorry to say it, also an idiot."

"Why? For doing what was good?"

"For fighting Loki alone."

"He did what any of us would have done in that moment."

"He should have waited, he should have…"

"And you think I didn't wanted that it would have ended in a different way or that I was there? But sometimes there's no other way Tony, no matter how much we hate it."

"Right, no other way."

"I know it's hard but we have put it aside, and make sure Loki's stop so he can pay for this. Now Loki needs a power source-"

"He made it personnel." Tony cut him off

"It's not the point."

"That is the point. That's Loki's point. He hit us right where we live. Why?"

"To tear us apart."

"Yeah, divide and conquer is great, but he knows he has to take us out to win, right? That's what he wants. He wants to beat us, he wants to be seen doing it. He wants an audience."

"Yeah, we caught his act at Stuttgart."

"Yeah, that's just the previews. This is opening night. And Loki, he's a full tilt diva, right? He wants flowers, he wants parades. He wants a monument built to the skies with his name plastered…" Tony stopped mid-sentence as he realize where Loki was "Son of a b***h."

After telling Steve about where Loki was, he went to fix his armor. Meanwhile Steve went to get back up, and arrived at Natasha's room.

"How's he?" she ask him the moment he opened the door

"He's getting better, but he hasn't woke up yet. But it's time to go."

"Go where?"

"I'll tell you on the way. Can you fly one of those jets?"

Then Clint Barton, also known as Hawkeye, one of Natasha's oldest and closest friends came out of the bathroom

"I can." He said

"You got a suit?"

"Yeah."

"Then suit up." Steve said as he left to get ready to go get Loki. Soon we could see everyone including Thor, Tony and even Brue (who was bargaining with a farmer to get a bike to get to the city) getting ready for a battle no one knows what to expect.

Meanwhile back in the med bay, Ian started to open his eyes…


And that does it for this chapter, I know it's little shorter than expected, I have been caught up with homework and exams, but now with the whole school closing because the corona virus maybe I will be able to write more a faster but I won't make promises.

Now now, Ian will be in the final battle don't worry, and speaking of, who else is excited for the final battle? But what do you think about this new addition to the story, was good? Was it bad? Excellent? Horrible? Tell me your thoughts about it, review please, and just don't be mean.

So I hope this chapter helps you pass time in your quarantines, and I'll see you in the next chapter of "The kid of the Normandy".

Bye bye :)
