laraliz16: Yo estoy que lloro espontaneamente cada vez que me acuerdo de Endgame, ya ha pasado una semana y no creo que vaya a superarla, nunca. Gracias por tu review y espero que te guste el camino que va a tomar mi historia :)
Shizu Uchiha: I think emotional breakdown is an oversimplification of what that movie has done to us. But as you said, I will do Whatever It Takes to right the wrongs from Endgame.
badkitty98: Think of the positive side, you're not crying alone.
Alexandra's arrival to Asgard was quick and by hers and Thor's request they moved quickly into the Throne room, Alexandra carrying the spear while Thor held Mjolnir. Frigga welcomed them warmly, but frowned as she saw their grim faces.
"Something's wrong," she said as she stood from the throne, holding Gungnir in her hand.
"The universe in on the move," Alexandra said, Frigga looked at her curiously, "It's not the end of it, by a long shot just yet, but we must plan accordingly"
"The Titan is moving then?" Frigga asked, Alexandra nodded and noticed that Heimdall had walked into the throne room, followed by Loki.
"Nidavellir is not in danger at the moment," Heimdall announced, Alexandra nodded.
"I need to go there, Eitri is the only one who can build the weapon that we need to kill Thanos, unfortunately Thanos knows that Eitri is the only one capable of building the gauntlet needed to hold the power of the stones," she informed them, Loki and Thor exchanged glances.
"And who would wield such weapon, my Queen?" asked Loki, Alexandra smirked at him.
"Thor"
"I already hold Mjolnir my Queen, I'm sure it is more than enough," Thor said flipping the hammer, Alexandra raised an eyebrow at him.
"I've seen Mjolnir destroyed, not that I'm doubting Mjolnir's powers but you need to understand that you are King now, you need a King's weapon," she said, Thor seemed pensive about it, he looked at Mjolnir and then at Alexandra.
"Who would wield Mjolnir then?" he asked, Alexandra's eyes softened.
"Perhaps, a future child of ours?" she asked softly, Thor grinned at her, "You are not the god of hammers," she said then, "You are Thor Odinson, God of Thunder, you best remember that," she said with a smile, Thor nodded.
"Then we shall go to Nidavellir," he declared, Alexandra nodded at him and with the little Seidr she could use she summoned her armor.
"But first things first," she said then looked at Loki, "I need to speak with our prisoners now, bring the scepter"
Alexandra and Thor followed Loki to where he had stashed the Maximoff twins. Alexandra was wary of them, sure, but she needed Wanda to destroy the stone and she wanted to get that done before Nidavellir, she was not taking any chances. The fact that the Tesseract was in Asgard was dangerous enough.
The twins where shackled inside one of the lower rooms, Loki walked in first followed by Alexandra and Thor. Sif was guarding them a scowl on her face.
"Pietro and Wanda Maximoff," Alexandra said greeting them, the twins looked at her curiously, "You two joined HYDRA to protect your country, or that is the story at least, another source tells me that you did it to get revenge," Alexandra's voice was soft, yet there was no doubt that she was the one in control, Thor, Loki and Sif looked at her curiously. "A bomb with the name Stark written on it sat next to you for days in the remnants of your home, and you two young and worried that it would go off, am I wrong?"
The twins shook their heads.
"So you decided to remember that name, because of course if a bomb made by an International Company makes it to your country then the man who bears the name of that bomb is responsible for what happened, not the terrorists firing them, nor the man selling them in the black market, but them man whose name is on the bomb, funny thing is that the same thing happened to Stark himself you know? He was in Afghanistan and there was an attempt on his life, the bomb that went off next to him, it had his name on it, the terrorist that captured him, they had the weapons that his company had built,"
"That's good, he should have died," said Wanda venomously, Alexandra raised an eyebrow at her.
"Careful there Miss Maximoff, I haven't finished my story, as I said he was captured by terrorist and tortured for three months until he made them believe that he gave in, he would build a weapon for them, that's what he told them, instead, Iron Man was born, he returned to his home and he shut down the weapon manufacturing, he became a better man, but still there were some that wished to harm him, his own godfather, Obadiah Stane, had been the one to orchestrate the attempted murder, he had been the one to be selling weapons under the table to terrorists, furthering war, not Stark, Stark thought that his weapons were keeping his people, his country safe, Stane then tried to murder Stark at his own house, but Stark is stronger than that, Starks are made of Iron, a saying goes," Alexandra paused to look at the twins, their expressions were closed off.
"What is your point with this?" asked Wanda, Alexandra smile.
"A lesson, you hated Stark because that was the name on the bomb that killed your family, right?" Alexandra asked, both Pietro and Wanda nodded, "If I were to grab a Winchester gun, and shoot your sibling with it, who would you hate? Me, the gun, or the manufacturer? Who would you try to enact your revenge on? The Winchester descendants? Just because their family, their company decided to make a gun? Or, would you hate me, the terrorist, the culprit, the one who fired the gun?" Alexandra asked, her eyes sharpening, "Do you understand me? Your hate, your desire of revenge is misguided, Stark had nothing to do with your parents' deaths, because he didn't fire that missile, I'm sure he didn't know that the missile that killed your parents was in the hands of terrorists,"
"What's it to you anyways?" asked Pietro, Alexandra grinned wolfishly.
"Do you know my name?" asked Alexandra, the twins shook their heads, "I am Alexandra Stark, daughter of Anthony Stark, Queen of Asgard," she paused as the twins made sense of that information, "Now you see what is to me, you two wanted to kill my father and that is something I couldn't allow, but I can allow you to earn your freedom, you joined Hydra, yes, but you haven't committed any crimes just yet,"
"Why would you help us?" asked Pietro, Alexandra smiled.
"Because I need you as much as you need me, you're in my husband's realm and I am the only person who can guarantee that you two return to earth, I could find people that could help train your powers, you could do something good for earth, you could even help us beat Thanos," she said, and Pietro and Wanda frowned.
"Thanos?" asked Wanda, Alexandra nodded.
"A mad titan that has deluded himself into thinking that the only way to help the universe its murdering half of its population, he's currently on a quest to find all the infinity stones, should he gather all six stones he'd be the most powerful being in the entire universe, which is what we are trying to prevent," she explained.
"And how would we help you?" asked Wanda, Alexandra smirked and took the scepter from Loki.
"This scepter gave you your powers and currently it houses the mind stone, your powers, Miss Maximoff, are of the same source and I believe that you could destroy it," Alexandra said, Wanda looked at the scepter and nodded.
"I'll try," she said decidedly, Alexandra nodded and looked at Loki giving him the signal to unshackle Wanda.
Wanda's hands glowed red for a moment and Sif stiffened, Alexandra nodded at the redhead and handed the scepter to Loki, who took the stone out and placed it on the floor in the middle of the room, a few guards stood in front of Pietro, while Loki resumed his post next to Sif.
"Go ahead," Alexandra said before moving to stand next to Thor.
Wanda nodded and focused her powers on the stone, blasting it with everything that she had, Alexandra made sure to observe the stone's reaction to Wanda's power, and it wasn't until the last moment that Alexandra remembered that they should have done it outside.
Thor was quick to move and pull Alexandra down with him, using his cape as a shield to cover them from the Stone's backlash, they shared a look when they realized that it had happened, they carefully stood and looked around the room, Wanda was kneeling shakily on the floor but unharmed, the guards and Pietro were okay too, as were Loki and Sif, if a little ruffled. Alexandra looked at the remains of the stone and smiled shakily.
"That was unexpected," said Loki brushing his armor, Alexandra nodded.
"What should we do with the shards, my queen?" asked Sif.
"We should scatter them around the universe, we won't give anyone a chance to rebuild it," Alexandra answered, then looked at Loki, "Please move the Maximoff twins to our guest wing, then meet me and Thor in the observatory, we are going to Nidavellir."
Alexandra and Thor walked out of the room, she knew that Sif would see to her order, she would talk to the Maximoff twins after Nidavellir, she was not going to lose time.
Thor could see, in the way that Alexandra carried herself, that she was still scared of everything that they were unravelling. He understood too, the smallest mistake could ruin everything and he for one didn't want whatever Alexandra had seen to come to pass. The fate of the universe depended on them right now, on Asgard. Thor had always known that one day he would step up as King and protector of the nine realms, but this was way much more than he had imagined.
A mad titan trying to kill half the universe, he had a murderous sister locked in a realm by his father, his father, who had him married to a woman much younger than he had preferred and that was now doomed to remain asleep for eternity. His brother, who was adopted, not that it mattered, but that secret almost tore his family apart if not for his wife; but his brother, who had been tortured by the same mad titan who wanted to kill half the universe. Thor could barely believe it all and if someone had tried to tell him that a hundred years ago, he probably would have laughed at the person or punched them.
Thor watched as Alexandra fidgeted as they waited for Loki. It was probably daunting what they needed to do, Alexandra had proposed relocating the dwarves in Asgard for the time being and shutting off the star. Thor nodded at Loki when he arrived and Heimdall was quick to send them to Nidavellir. Thor couldn't help but to smile when Alexandra's eyes widened at the sight of the star, it was almost the same as when she saw Asgard that first time she visited. She had been so young back then and full of wonder, Thor soon realized that Alexandra was looking at him with a smile.
"This place is beautiful," she said softly and Thor nodded, he offered his hand to her and started leading her into the forge, Loki following closely.
Alexandra couldn't believe that she was seeing a star this close, it was the stuff that her deepest dreams were made of, and yet, here she was, Nidavellir. All the dwarves were alive and well and that gave her a sense of victory, one of the stones had been destroyed and now she, Thor and Loki would help save the dwarves.
She allowed Thor to lead her through the forge, the King and the prince of Asgard greeting several of the dwarves they passed until they reached the one they needed to talk to, Eitri. Thor and Loki were quick to introduce Eitri to Alexandra and she was even quicker to tell him what she knew, the King of the dwarves looked alarmed at the possible threat he and his people faced and after much prompting accepted Alexandra's plan.
Immediately the forge started brimming as the dwarves began moving and packing their things. Thor and Loki moved to help, leaving Alexandra with Eitri.
"Are you from Asgard, Queen Alexandra?" asked Eitri, Alexandra smiled at him and shook her head.
"I'm from Midgard, and it's Alexandra, Lord Eitri," she said, Eitri smiled at her.
"It is Eitri then, my lady,"
"There is something I must ask of you," she said after a moment, Eitri looked at her, "Before we turn off the forge, I need you to make one more weapon."
"For you?" Eitri asked confused, Alexandra shook her head.
"For my King, I believe you and Odin spoke of this type of weapon, a Stormbreaker if I do recall correctly," she said, Eitri nodded.
"It shall be done, come and watch," he said and Alexandra followed him.
She watched as he worked with his two hands as they hadn't and hopefully wouldn't be destroyed by Thanos, she observed silently suddenly wishing that she had brought her StarkPad to Nidavellir, she had a feeling that Tony would love to meet Eitri. As Eitri worked Alexandra noticed that the bifrost had been opened and now dwarves were departing she smiled at the sight, before returning her attention to Eitri who was finishing Stormbreaker's handle. The axe-hammer was a thing of beauty and it distracted Alexandra and Eitri enough that they didn't notice the sudden unwanted company that they had.
Thor felt something wrong as the last of the dwarves departed Nidavellir, he and Loki exchanged glances and Loki nodded slowly, they were not alone anymore. Thor panicked when he realized that Alexandra was somewhere in the forge with Eitri.
"Loki you turn off the forge, I'll go get Alexandra," he said looking at his brother, Loki raised an eyebrow.
"And how am I supposed to turn it off?" Loki asked and Thor briefly wanted to punch his brother.
"I don't know, burn it, break it, freeze it for all I care, just stop it, then get home immediately," he said looking at Loki before he ran into the forge, cursing himself for leaving Mjolnir behind.
When he got to Alexandra and Eitri he saw a strange looking creature drawling about how Alexandra and Eitri would welcome death as children of Thanos as the two were pinned to a wall.
"Well suck it fugly, I have a father already and he won't take kindly to some other dude claiming or killing me so I become its child, it won't do," Alexandra said and suddenly everything went dark, Thor felt the bifrost open and figured that Loki for once had followed his words, Thor moved from one side to another remaining unseen to the creature.
"This little stunt won't stop Thanos from coming, he's on his way," the creature said and Thor blanched, Alexandra and Thanos in the same place would not do, Thor didn't want Alexandra close to Thanos, like, ever.
"Well too bad for him, we can't stay to chat, I mean I'd love to, but my dad doesn't like it when I talk to strangers and I always listen to him," she said, Thor noticed that she was moving her hand slightly from her binds and then noticed an axe one the floor that was moving slightly towards her.
Thor remembered about Alexandra mentioning a new weapon for him, he guessed that the strange axe was it and extended his hand towards it. The axe glowed blue before flying towards his hand in a flurry of lightening, apparently that was the distraction that Alexandra and Eitri needed because as soon as the creature's attention was away from Eitri and Alexandra they ran towards him.
Once Alexandra and Eitri were next to Thor, the Bifrost opened and they started being beamed away, unfortunately for them, the creature followed into the bifrost, holding Alexandra's leg.
"For fuck's sake Squidward, let go of me," she said trying to free her leg from the creature's grasp, Thor pushed Eitri upwards and handed the axe to Alexandra.
Alexandra felt the weight of Stormbreaker in her hand and hit Maw on his head with the base of it, while Thor tried to rush her through the bifrost as he had done with Eitri. Apparently ugly magical alien fucks didn't like being hit on the head by magical axes because he threw Thor to side causing the God of Thunder to fall off the bifrost almost at the same moment that Alexandra reached the end of it.
She could only see as Thor was flung to the void and the glared at Maw, as soon as she landed on the observatory, Maw following after her, she managed to get her lightsaber out of her hostler and sliced off Maw's head in a fit of rage. She saw as Stormbreaker landed next to the severed head and she took a deep breath when she realized that she had an audience.
"Alexandra, where is Thor?" asked Loki watching the severed head warily, Alexandra looked at him, a feral look on her face.
"He pushed him off the bifrost, Thor could be anywhere now, weaponless," she said breathlessly, Loki looked troubled, as did Eitri and Heimdall. "I swear I'm going to find that overgrown scrotum and kill him myself," she muttered under her breath before looking at Heimdall, "Can you see him? Thor?"
"Not at the moment, my Queen, there appears to be something cloaking him from me," he said, Alexandra sighed.
"Keep looking, please," then she looked at Loki, "We need to get to Xandar, now, Maximoff needs to come with us."
"You'll have her destroy another stone?" Loki asked, she nodded.
"What about Stormbreaker?" asked Eitri, Alexandra looked at the axe before holstering her lightsaber, she picked up the axe, it was heavier than Mjolnir, uncomfortably so and she knew that she was not to wield it, just to carry it until she found Thor.
"I'll take it to Thor, Heimdall, will you be able to get us to Xandar?" she asked, Heimdall nodded, "Loki, Maximoffs now, I'm sure that Thanos will soon realize what we are up to."
A/N: So here it is, the universe in on the move, Alexandra is gathering her team and destroyed an infinity stone, I hope you guys liked this one.
