Final part of Thor 1.

I own nothing. Story idea and oc belongs to sketchywolf, the rest belongs to Marvel.

As they neared the palace, Max could only take in the sheer size of the place for only a few moments before shaking it off.

'Stop Loki now, admire Asgard later,' he thought to himself.

Thor then landed as they approached the entrance and he led Max inside.

"Stay by me and wait for any opening to strike," Thor instructed him, earning a nod.

"I swear to you mother... that they will pay for what they've done today," a new voice said as they approached a bedroom.

"Loki!!"

They came in to see a woman run over and hug Thor, which Max could only guess was his mother, Queen Frigga. Then he looked and saw a weasel looking man with long black hair, wearing green and gold colored armor and a helmet with large ram like horns on it and held Gungnir, Odin's spear, in his hands, and he knew that this was Loki. Max then saw the bed which had some sort of energy field around it, and saw a one eyed man inside it.

"Odin...," Max muttered.

"Thor!," Frigga exclaimed. "I knew you'd return to us."

Thor hugged her back for moment before returning his gaze back to Loki.

"Why don't you tell her? How you sent the Destroyer to kill our friends. To kill me!!"

"What?"

"Well, it must've been enforcing Father's last command," Loki lied, but Max saw through it.

"The stories on Midgard are true," Max said. "You're quite the talented liar."

"Yes, he always has been," Thor said.

"It's good to have you back. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to destroy Jotunheim."

He then blasted Thor down and moved to strike Max. But he dodged it and sped towards him sand fired his repulsors. It pushed Loki down but then just vanished in a faded green light.

"What the-?!"

"He's also a master of magic," Thor explained. "He's headed for the Bifrost. Mother, we'll explain everything when we return."

"I should hope so since you brought a mortal to Asgard," she said and they both nodded.

As they headed back, Loki placed Gungnir into the Bifrost controller, aimed it at Jotunheim, and left the bridge open. Ice began to build around him and the Bifrost began to devastate Jotunheim.

"How can he destroy an entire realm?," Max asked as they heard back where they started.

"Keeping the Bifrost open allows it to build up and causes the bridge to rip through the entire realm, utterly destroying it and everyone on it."

"We better stop him then."

They soon reached the Bifrost and saw ice was continuing to build up and the temperature was dropping.

"You can't stop it!," Loki said. "The Bifrost will build until rips Jotunheim apart!!"

Thor attempted to break the ice but was once again blasted away and Max attacked as well but was smacked away by Loki.

"Why have done this?," Thor asked.

"To prove to Father that I am the worthy son. When he awakes, I will have saved his life. I will have destroyed that race of monsters and I will be true heir to the throne!!"

"You can't kill an entire race!"

"Why not?," he asked rhetorically. "And what is this newfound love for the Frost Giants. You could've killed them all with your bear hands."

"I've changed."

"Thanks to this child. But so have I," he said scratching at Thor's face. "Now fight me."

He then struck him and Max a distance and they quickly got up. Max then saw Loki was fully focused on Thor and tried to sneak up behind the god of mischief.

"I never wanted the throne!!!," Loki continued. "All I ever wanted was to be your equal."

"I will not fight you, brother!!!," Thor yelled.

"Hmm... fine then. Maybe he'll fight me," he said then turned quickly and blasted Max, knocking him down, and he didn't get up this time. The blast damaged the arc reactor on his chest, rendering his repulsors useless.

"MAX!!!!," Thor yelled and jumped towards Loki, him following suit, but he overpowered him, being much stronger than Loki was.

Loki then pushed him off and got up and tried to stab him with his spear, but Thor rolled out of the way and swept Loki's feet from under him. As they fought, Max slowly got up and saw his reactor had been destroyed.

"Man...," he said and saw Thor swinging his hammer down and Loki blocked it and kicked him away.

With a battle cry, Loki and Thor began exchanging blows. Then they got into a lock and Loki threw him a distance and jumped in the air and attempted to stab him only for Thor to move out of the way. He swings around on the spear and kicks him down again with a laugh. As they fought, Max walked over to the Bifrost controls and began inspecting them, seeing if there was a way to shut it down. With his speed, he could inspect it much faster than usual, but he still could not find anything.

'Loki was telling the truth,' he thought to himself. 'Unless...'

Thor was now getting annoyed and got into a lock and got up close and threw Loki away a distance. He jumped up in the air to strike at him again as Loki blasted him and the three of them were blown out of the room as the Bifrost began to overload. Thor and Loki were thrown further from it and Loki grasped at the edge of the bridge begging Thor to help him.

"Brother please...," he said and Thor knelt down to help but Max once again saw through Loki's deception.

"Thor, stop, it's an illusion!!!!," he yelled too late as it had vanished and Loki stabbed Thor slightly and created many illusion of himself laughing and were all about to kill Thor.

"ENOUGH!!!!," Thor yelled and summoned up some lightning, blasting Loki away.

Thor got up and walked over to Loki... and placed Mjolnir on his chest, pinning him. He then walked over and helped Max stand up again.

"You alright?"

"Yeah, I'll be fine," he said and they looked at the Bifrost as Loki attempted to get the hammer off of him. "I looked over it all. Loki wasn't lying, we can't stop it, not the normal way. We can't just turn it off. I do know how we can save Jotunheim though."

"How?"

"...We cut off the connection."

"But that shall strand you here," Thor argued.

"Perhaps... but it will end this madness," Max said.

Thor looked at the Bifrost for a moment, deciding on the best course of action, even though he already knew that Max was right.

"Look at you," Loki said from where he was pinned down at. "The mighty Thor... with all of your strength... and what good does it do you now huh? Ah!! You hear me, brother?!! There's nothing you can do!!!"

Thor then reached out for his hammer and it returned to his hand... and began to smash the bridge.

"...W-What're you doing? If you destroy the bridge, you'll never see that woman again!!!!!"

Thor ignored him and continued to smash at the bridge. Max was too focused on what Thor was doing that he didn't see Loki coming up from behind.

"Forgive me, Jane," Thor said and with one last swing of his hammer, he destroyed the bridge in a large explosion of energy, making the building be destroyed as well and the beam was shut down. Loki, Thor and Max were now falling supposedly to their deaths. But Thor grabbed Loki's spear and someone else grabbed his boot and Max's arm. Max looked up to see that it was Odin, now awake. Loki soon saw this and looked back at the wormhole the Bifrost had created.

"I could've done it Father!! I could've done it!!," he yelled. "For you!! For all of us!!"

"...No, Loki," was all Odin said to this and Loki just smirked.

"Loki, no!!," Thor begged and Loki let go of the spear and fell towards to the wormhole, to his death. "NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!"

"No...," Odin said.

They all stayed in the position they were in for a few moment before Odin pulled them up. No one said anything, as there were really no words to be said.

The next few days were days of mourning over the loss of Loki.

Thor has said little to anyone besides his father and Max. And now he walked over to speak to Odin as Sif and Max walked over to Frigga. Max now wore a dark blue shirt with black pants. He wore gauntlets as well as greaves.

"My Queen, we are both so sorry for your loss," Sif said, and she nodded, looking at her son.

"How is he?," she asked.

"He mourns his brother," Max said. "And... he misses her. Jane."

"The mortal?"

"Yes, your Majesty. If you'll excuse me..."

She nodded and he walked out and sped off towards the bridge.

"Saw you coming," Heimdall said in a deep voice as he reached the edge.

"I don't doubt it. Thought I should come by and introduce myself since you were unconscious when we first met."

"Haha... well, I am Heimdall, gatekeeper of Asgard."

"Maxwell Stark," he said then saw the horizon. "So you see all of this everyday."

"Yes. I see everything in the universe. I see your parents are awaiting your return like you'll come through the door at any moment."

"Hmm... well if I can ever return, I won't be going home for a little while."

"Yes, I caught a glimpse of the events you have been through these past few years. But I don't need my all seeing eyes to know that it has indeed not been easy for you, but... why do you really keep your abilities secret from your family?"

"...I don't know really," Max answered truthfully. "Perhaps it's fate. I want to to tell them and I imhave no ego to stop me from telling them, but... something keeps me from telling them."

"...Your future is uncertain and yet at the same time seems almost planned out, Max, son of Anthony," Heimdall said. "It will indeed be interesting to see what happens with you."

They stood in silence for a time before Thor came and walked up to them.

"So Earth is lost to us?," he asked.

"...No," Heimdall answered. "There is always hope."

"I'm sorry about Loki, Thor. I really am," Max said and he nodded in thanks.

"...Can you see her?"

"Ha... yes."

"How is she?," Thor asked.

"She searches for you," Heimdall answered and Thor smiled at this.

"I promise you, Max. My father and I shall find a way to send you back to Earth."

"I know you will. But one thing I don't understand. Sif explained to me how all of this happened, but how did the Frost Giants get into Asgard exactly?"

"I believe I can answer that. It seems the Bifrost was not the only way in and out of Asgard. Loki mentioned small, hidden gateways to other realms across Asgard. How I could not see them, I know not."

"Maybe your dad knows, Thor," Max said and he nodded in agreement.

They both then walked back to the palace, though not before stopping to get something to eat first.

"The only bad thing about my speed, it's getting so annoying."

"How it could be is beyond me," Thor joked, both getting a good laugh as Max continued to eat. "Come. You can continue eating on the way."

They continued until they found Odin on the Throne of Asgard, thankfully Max had finished and knew he should now along with Thor.

"Rise, my son," Odin said and they did so and he approached the boy. "I do not believe I got your name."

"M-Maxwell Stark, your Majesty," Max said, suddenly feeling quite nervous since he was in the presence of a king of gods.

"I thank you for your assistance, Sir Stark. But I'm afraid that you cannot stay here as you are not Asgardian."

"That's what we came to speak to you about, Father," Thor said. "Heimdall said Loki mentioned something about hidden gateways to the other realms located all over Asgard. Do you know of any? Because Max here, needs to keep a promise to a certain... friend of his."

"Hmm... I believe I know of what friend you speak of as I've had Heimdall keep an eye on you," Odin said and thought for a moment. "...And I may know of one that should get you to where you must go as soon as possible."

Thor and Max looked between each other and they followed Odin back to the Rainbow Bridge.

"Everything here always seems to lead back to the rainbow, huh?," Max joked only to met by silence and he chuckled awkwardly.

"Come closer," Odin said, and Max did so. "I have seen your abilities. They are most impressive, but perhaps this shall help you move even faster."

He placed a hand on his forehead and a flow of energy was channeled into Max and soon became blue lightning running through his body.

"Now, all you need do... is run. Think on where you wish to go, more importantly on who you wish to see. And ask... Shuri, I believe her name is... what the Cheetah Realm is. Good luck, Sir Stark."

With that Odin left and Thor wrapped Max in a bear hug.

"Farewell, Max," he said. "Know that I'll always consider you my little brother."

"...I've always wanted a brother. Goodbye, Thor. I hope we meet again soon," Max said and then immediately began to run fast.

As he ran, everything seemed so slow to him. He followed Odin's instructions and began to think on Earth, and began to think about Shuri, about seeing his best friend again. When he did so, he began to see something run next to him. He looked and saw that it was a cheetah, as blue as the power flowing through him. It then vanished and bright light began to appear in front of Max and he yelled loudly as he struggled to keep up the pace. He began to reach the end of the bridge and Heimdall simply moved to the side and Max ran past him, and then vanished a blue flash of light.

Wakanda

Shuri now sat at the edge of a cliff at the Great Mound overlooking Wakanda. Sitting by her was her older brother, T'Challa.

"I'm beginning to worry, brother," Shuri said. "Max has not responded to any of messages for at least a week now."

"I'm sure he has a good reason," he said. "Perhaps he's trying to get here."

"I wish he were here now."

She slumped her head little and T'Challa wrapped an arm around her to comfort her and then they heard something behind them and they turned around. A bright blue flash blinded them for a moment, and when they could see again, they couldn't believe their eyes.

They saw Max in a strange outfit, panting uncontrollably, nearly hyperventilating.

"...Wish granted, it would seem," T'Challa said.

"Max???," Shuri said then he calmed himself down and looked.

"...Shuri? T'Challa?" he said. "Hey, what do you know? Odin was right."

Then he just collapsed and T'Challa ran over and stopped him from hurting himself.

"Max!!"

"He is just unconscious. Let us get him to the lab. See what's wrong."

They both then began walking into the Great Mound, with T'Challa carrying Max. They carried him... into the vibranium mines. As they walked, Max was moving in and out of consciousness and he saw something unimaginable. He saw a city, he saw the true Wakanda. A technological marvel.

'...One brave new world to another,' he thought to himself before consciousness left him for good this time.
