Up in the dark night sky, a quinjet was flying straight to Germany in blinding speed.
There were two men in the passenger seats. One was a certain white haired mercenary and the second was a blonde haired soldier who goes by the name Steve Rogers. The First Avenger. The superhero who fought in World War 2.
Steve Rogers stared at the white haired mercenary who was sitting across from him. The mercenary was quite young to be exact. He only wore a long red leather trench coat that barely covers his well toned chest and muscular physique. He also wore a dark-green cargo pants and had a huge long sword on his back. His age seems to be on his late teens actually.
Wanting to shed some light on this young mercenary, Steve asked him a question, "What's your name, kid?"
The young mercenary's icy blue eyes slowly turned to Steve and he replied in a cocky confident voice, "The name is Dante, blondie. What about you?"
Ignoring the nickname he gave him, Steve answered, "Steve Rogers. Nice to meet you, Mr. Dante."
"Just call me Dante. And of course nice to meet you, Steve." Dante smiled and he held up his left hand for Steve.
Steve smiled and he gently shook Dante's hand.
OOO
Inside the highest floor of Stark Tower, Tony Stark aka Iron Man was looking at some of the files for Nick Fury's possible recruits for his 'little team of boy scout superheroes' as Tony had recalled. He was looking at his high tech tablet like a curious child who just saw a toy for the first time.
The first possible recruit was an interesting certain individual who can turn into a giant green monster if he gets angry.
The second one was of course his dad's creation who fought in World War II.
The last one was an enigma. It was a young white haired mercenary that wore a red coat and had a huge sword on his back. Tony remembered that he laughed when he first saw the mercenary's picture on the screen. But he was surprised when he read the mercenary's accomplishment in the past. The files stated that he had crushed six criminal organizations all by himself for a thousand bucks. What's worse that he did this without killing anybody and had done this in a single day. Though, many have suffered critical injuries in the process. But still, this was ludicrous and ridiculous to Tony Stark. Even with his latest Iron Man suit, he couldn't do all that. Just how efficient is this mercenary?
OOO
"So, Steve. Any idea where are they taking us?" Dante's cocky confident voice snapped Steve out of his trance before he sighed deeply.
"They're taking us to Stuttgart, kid."
"Stuttgart?" Dante scoffed to put emphasis on his growing confusion, "Where the hell is that?"
After he heard Dante's question, Steve was now the one who got even more confused. Did this kid even know what the heck is going on? Nevertheless, Steve answered the young mercenary's question, "Germany."
After hearing Steve's answer, Dante smirked before leaning back on his seat, "So, my new employer wasn't kidding about being filthy rich after all."
"New employer?" Steve questioned.
"Oh, yeah. Some secret super agent named Natasha barged into my house and told me that her boss was offering me a job. I didn't actually pay attention to the details. But they just told me to capture a guy named Loki. And here I am."
"You're a mercenary, right?"
"Bingo." Dante exclaimed before pulling out a card from his pocket. He then tossed it to Steve, to which he caught it without any effort.
Steve narrowed his blue eyes before he began reading the contents on Dante's card. The card has info on Dante's phone number, his specialty, and his accomplishments.
After he was finished, Steve gave it back to him and he spoke out his curiosity, "So, you're The Man in Red? The mercenary who decimated six criminal organizations in New York. I've heard that all of your employees were actually homeless beggars who were threatened by mob bosses. Is that true?"
"Yeah. I just can't stand injustice sometimes. You know what I mean?"
"I do. Been there before."
They were then interrupted when Natasha's voice booms out from the quinjet's speaker, "We're here, boys. Time to get to work and do your thing."
OOO
Vergil scowled at the sight of Loki who was ordering the humans to bow before him. He was shouting at them like a spoiled child who just got angry.
Vergil may have disliked humans but he never lost respect to the race that his father protected and fought for. And this Loki has no respect and honor. It's making Vergil wanna rethink his deal with the god of mischief.
This mess all started when one of Loki's men told him that he needed someone's eyeball. Loki did what he had to do but decided to get all theatrical in the end which includes threatening a lot of civilians to bow down to him like he's some kind of god.
The display of arrogance and ego from Loki annoyed him and wanting to ease his annoyance, Vergil turned around and left the dramatic scene since there's no use for him here anyway.
But then something caught his interest that his icy blue eyes swiftly went back to Loki who is now fighting a costumed fighter who just appeared out of nowhere. He realized that it was Captain America. The supersoldier in World War 2.
Vergil thought he was dead but here he is. Alive and well. Even for an old man, he seems to be doing well.
"This just became interesting." Vergil commented before he completely disappeared in a blue flash.
OOO
"Can I go now? I want to fight this guy." Dante requested as he looks back to Natasha. The two are still currently in the quinjet, flying carefully in Stuttgart.
"Just be careful out there!"
After hearing Natasha's reply, Dante jumped out of the quinjet with a squeal of excitement before pulling out Rebellion from his scabbard.
He then landed gracefully and saw Steve Rogers was losing the fight against Loki. The impact of his landing was enough to create a small crater on the hard ground.
Dante jumped high in the air before he brings down his Rebellion at Loki who blocked it with his scepter.
"Now, who the hell are you?!" Loki questioned angrily as he grit his teeth. It was clear that he was beggining to struggle while Dante was a bit shocked that someone could block his sword strike for the first time. Usually, people would break part of their bones if someone tried to block it since his inhuman strength is just too much for humans.
"I'm the guy who will beat your ass, Dokie." Dante smirked before he kicked Loki's chest in blinding speed, launching him away to a nearby street light which broke in half at the force.
"It's Loki, you buffoon!" Loki held his chest as he winced in pain.
"Whatever. I don't give a rat's ass." Dante shrugged before he was suddenly shot by Loki with his scepter. The beam from the scepter sends him thirty meters away.
Dante looked at his chest which now had a huge hole on it before he tries to stand up as he winced in pain, "Okay. That kinda hurt."
"What kind of monstrosity are you?!" Loki exclaimed with shock on his pale face when he saw Dante's injury beginning to heal on it's own in a very fast rate before he forces himself to stand. The hole in his chest had now disappeared completely. It's like nothing ever happened to it. Though, the blood on it is still visible and dripping wet.
Steve only shrugged it off and tried to punch Loki in the face, to which he dodged it with ease and gave him an uppercut on the chin.
The force of Loki's uppercut was enough to send the supersoldier ten meters in the air before he landed very badly on the hard ground.
Seeing the opportunity, Dante quickly put back his Rebellion in his scabbard before he pulled out his signature dual pistols: Ebony and Ivory.
He swiftly pointed it at Loki and fired rapidly at Loki's chest. He figured that Loki was no mere human so he betted that he could survive this.
Loki fumed in anger as hundreds of bullets try to pierce his skin. He tried to dodge but Dante's barrage of bullets always hit him.
In the end, Dante only irritated Loki and his bullets didn't even put a scratch.
"Is that all you got, half-breed?" Loki asked rethorically before he felt pain all over his body. He began sweating before he was suddenly shot by none other than Iron Man who appeared out of the sky.
Iron Man then landed gracefully near Captain America and Dante before he pointed all of his weapons to Loki.
"Make your move, Reindeer Games?"
Knowing he was defeated and outmatched, Loki surrendered and the armor on his body disappeared, his attire reverting to his plain black tuxedo.
