Chapter 15: Aftermath to Beyond.
A/N: I have overcome my Depression and Anorexia. I recovered from the Hospital and made it to see Infinity War. I was in tears at the death of those certain heroes. Goodbye Maria, please come back in the next installment. Deadpool 2 was the only thing that helped me push through the sadness of that great Avengers movie. I know I'm still in Phase 2 but that's not gonna stop me. Keep in mind that the Journey for Kara Zor-El is not over, if I have to keep doing this until the 2020's so be it. I'm determined to see this to the end. If there ever is an end that is.
To Deathgeonous: Thank you for making this one of your favorites and I would love to keep hearing your reviews if you want.
To Guest: Kara Team Iron Man? We shall see once the Accords are passed.
To Jarjaxle: It's good that I got you interested in this fic, just like Deathgeonous I'd like to here more from you. Yes, it does strike me hard when I think of what the Civil War era is gonna be like now that Kara is here. Just hang on and prepare when the time comes cuz I'm not leaving this fanfic. You also wondered if Hulk, Thor, and Asgardians could give Kara a run for her money. I can't necessarily answer that since it would be a spoiler but keep in mind that this is the New 52 Kara in the MCU, the Most powerful incarnation of Kara Zor-El I've read yet, more powerful than Superman himself and not that Kara from the show who gets her assed kicked by everything and everyone around her topped with being a little Bitch who can't control her emotions….No incarnation of Kara was like that in the comics. BTW if you watched Civil War, you'll notice what happened to Crossbones/Rumlow when he activated the bomb on his armor.
To Frustratedbuffalo: I can tell you don't like how Kara is with her language in this fic my dude, but that's how it's gonna be for a while sorry. She'll learn when the moment comes, especially when the MCU is approaching dark times.
To Double Dimension: Thor will have a part in the following chapters! Its not like he didn't see what happened on the news. Who knows what the Demi God Asgardian will do when the time comes to confront the Universe's Last Kryptonian.
To Warlocktongue: Yes my friend! You will expect some filling along with a mixture of side plotting since the world now knows Supergirl. And maybe some Goody Goody Spice up between the two love birds*****Wink wink***** but of course you can always skip that if you don't want to read it.
To Guest: You wanted more my dude, you got it! Enjoy.
Baron Wolfgang Von Strucker stood tall, chest out, shoulders back, and chin up with his hands behind his back. His buzz shaven head and five o'clock shadow gave off the indication of his age. A monocle rested on his right eye with a little metallic clip in place. The plain but tight dark grey uniform on his form demonstrated nothing but a familiar shoulder patch that was an octopus/squid like creature sporting multiple tentacles in a menacing stature. His loyal acquaintance, Dr. List, walked up to him with a worried glance despite when they were all far from danger. The not so good Doctor took himself out of his slouch, his much lighter suit opening to reveal the white collar and tie.
"It's over." He began with absolute certain, being thankful that he was able to tone his emotions. "Fury has released everything to the public."
"Everything he knows about." Strucker reminded.
"Herr Strucker if they get word of our work here. If they find out we serve HYDRA…."
"HYDRA….S.H.I.E.L.D." the leader began with a walk past List. "What's the difference?"
List did what he did best and followed the man.
"Two sides of a coin that are no longer currency Dr. List."
They both walked up a small flight of stairs before coming face to face with a small room full of stolen Stark Industries lab equipment. Multiple monitors glowed bright to show the results of their highly dangerous experiment. In the middle laid the table that had the harness containing none other, than Loki's Scepter, the weapon of the Asgardian who laid waste to New York City two years prior.
"What we have…." He eyed the mystic artifact as if it was the most expensive thing in the world. "Is something worth more than any of them ever knew."
Strucker was internally proud that they were able to get the Scepter just in time before it was confiscated from S.H.I.E.L.D.
"We've only scratched the surface and already…." He let the blue glow of the hidden Mine Stone do the rest of the bragging for him.
Strucker fixed his posture and resumed to the left to leave the room, with List right behind of course. "There are other facilities doing HYDRA''s good work around the world. We'll feed them to Captain America and his colorful friends."
"And keep them off our scent." List finished with full agreement. The more the two kept walking the more was revealed around them. Covered cargo, uniformed agents on the alert, dead bodies under white sheets, scientists walking around as if what they are doing was the most pleasant thing for humanity, this was a hidden HYDRA base. Nick Fury was right, not all the rats went down with the ship.
"What about the dead volunteers?"
How could they both forget the amount of bodies they had piled up with the countless experiments they had been doing to the participants from Sokovia. Of-course they had put the Scepter to use in such a way. And so far, only little success had come from such measures.
"The dead will be buried so deep their own ghosts won't be able to find them." They came at a stop with two advanced bullet proof/ fire proof cells sitting in front of them.
"And the survivors?"
Strucker for the first time allowed a smirk to graze his face. "…..The Twins."
The scientists in front of the cells relentlessly took notes down at the actions that the adolescent humans were doing. On the left there was a young man with frizzy platinum blonde hair wearing nothing but a plain white dirtied t shirt with matching sweats. His feet were bare and he was shaking in the corner of his bed. He looked tired and stressed, the white solitary confinement like room with his scrubby facial hair didn't help at all calm the situation. The men and women in coats took a step back when they witness the male twin move from his corner to the other end incredibly fast, faster than any normal person would've done. They all would've been impressed if not for the spasms that followed, and the twin fell to the floor whimpering. It wasn't long before the process was repeated. On the right was a small young woman wearing a dirtied white gown on the floor. She sat on the balls of her feet and knees surrounded by wooden blocks. The female twin appeared to be in a trance like state. Her unkept brown greasy hair with a tint of red along with disgusting bags under the eyes didn't make the scene look pretty either despite her baby face. Her hands were up with her bony black painted fingernailed digits wiggling slowly at the air. The Scientists marveled at the actions of the girl levitating several blocks and rotating them in a pattern.
Pietro and Wanda Maximoff. The only surviving experiments so far of this base known as Hell on Earth.
"Sooner or later they will meet the Twins…..it's not a world of spies anymore, not even a world of heroes…..this is the age, of miracles Doctor."
Pietro took a large deep breath before standing tall, his muscles flexing and a smile quickly growing on his face, he was getting better.
"There is nothing more horrifying…than a miracle."
Wanda on the literal other hand, slowly built up her moment with a sickening grin exposing unwashed teeth. Everyone clapped when She summoned a red aurora out of nowhere and crushed the blocks together as if they were the skulls of Tony Stark and Steve Rogers, sending splinters in all directions.
"When you finish with her next session, give her a toothbrush, paste, soap, dry Shampoo, and a full uncut loaf of bread." Strucker told the head researcher behind him.
"As you wish Sir." Came his proud reply.
The celebration was cut short when Wanda geared up at her small flat screen Television stationed in the corner of her room, a gift due to her good behavior unlike her brother. She continued looking at it for a while longer before turning to the people who did unspeakable things to her. Wanda stood on her bare feet and extended a hand out, the aurora leaving the destroyed blocks and floated towards the glass. The guards quickly caught on and moved down the aisle to surround Strucker, List and the rest of the researchers. They watched with caution as the glass began to crack once Wanda closed her hand until a single finger was pointing at them. The tranquilizers were cocked at the ready but what blew them away was the pattern that the woman was starting to make. The glass cracked only when she moved her limb and Wanda didn't stop until she made a full horizontal line. Then, she used two hands to break the barriers in the sides before sliding them downward and inward to make an acute angle.
A crudely shaped diamond was present for all eyes. Her intentions were now followed when The Scarlet Witch traced a finger in a loopy fashion, creating an "S" once they looked at it more closely.
A styled "S" inside a Diamond.
Dr. Jane Foster's Apartment- England
"Well guys, its official." Said the go lucky but academically strict Darcy Lewis in her grey shirt, dark blue pajama pants and fluffy bunny slippers as she headed over to the living room where all her friends slash her little family were huddled. Her laptop that she was holding atop three extra large Pizza Boxes was radiant across the reflection of her glasses but what would've made any admirer of the Prince of Thunder faint was the fact that she was balancing the Pizzas and laptop with just one hand along with swinging Thor's Hammer playfully in her other.
To this very day, Thor, Jane, Erik, and Ian had no idea how it was possible for the impulsive girl to be wielding Mjölnir…..or Mew Mew, as the intern liked to put it.
Thor, surprisingly now grown accustom to Midgardian clothing with pajamas similar to Darcy's minus the slippers, immediately stood from his seat and took the food from her while placing her computer next to the open can of beers that belonged to everyone.
"Darcy how many times must I explain this to you?" once he finished he summoned the Hammer to his grasp and gave a stern look. "This is not a….toy…as you people would put it." he wasn't angry, he could never be angry with his new family that he swore to stay with after leaving Asgard. But truth be told, it was getting on his nerves whenever Jane's best friend and intern would always grab the weapon from the coat/jacket/ bag rack and he officially had forgotten how many times he saw it was missing from its resting place. Lucky for all of them Darcy was only capable of wielding it, it meant the end of the world if Darcy would also possess the power of Thor.
After all, she was worthy.
"Relax Thor, I play nice with Mew Mew." She boasted with confidence as the Asgardian maneuvered the Hammer through the air to go back on the rack. The woman took off her glasses to rest them on the table full of junk and plopped down to where Ian was, of-course since she was always the one to show more confidence than him, she snuggled in his form and after some hesitation, he did the same. Both giving each other a quick peck to their lips before blushing. Jane merely grabbed Thor's thick forearm and pulled him onto the couch as well. Erik was the first to go for the Pizza. The night was going well so far.
"So." The Astro physicist began referring to Darcy. "What's official?"
The Intern snuggling against her own Intern quickly abandoned her moment as if it wasn't important and reached for her laptop while sitting at her edge. Ian however wasn't disappointed.
She typed at her computer connected to the massive T.V. in front of them. "What's official is that S.H.I.E.L.D. after so many years of running finally came crumbling down in Washington. We are no longer under their surveillance and it is leaked to almost every part of the Internet."
She proved her point by opening multiple pages showing stuff on Google images, Youtube, Bing, and even Websites that good for nothing fans of the Avengers were starting to create.
"Not to mention that all this time they were HYDRA." Jane said with a calm sneer. Even though S.H.I.E.L.D. had done its time in keeping the world safe, she was internally glad it was gone. They were lucky they had finished all the work they were forced to do by law after New York before the Uprising happened. If anything they were all still recovering from the Convergence along with the invasion of Malekith the Accursed, so being participants in the disaster at D.C. wasn't something that her and her team minus her…..Boyfriend…wanted to do. Deep down she still held the grudge when those Agents so long ago confiscated all her work without any of her well-deserved consent. Bastards.
"Ah yes." Thor added. "I've heard of this organized group when I was learning about Steve and the fights he endured before being misplaced out of time in the ice, I can only hope Fury has found a way to cope with the loss of his corrupt army and flying fortresses."
The Asgardian reached for his Mead in the small can, or in this case Beer as his fellow brethren called the beverage.
Erik swallowed the Pepperoni and black Olive as Jane went for a piece herself, along with Darcy, who grabbed a giant slab of the greasy food and started munching on it with one hand and typing away with the other. Not once caring about the mess she could potentially cause.
"Mmm, dnn wrryy big guy, Iron Man bassiiiccc privvvid frrr thmmmm."
"Darcy!" Jane reminded the girl of her manners.
The intern gave an apologetic look before swallowing the food and clearing her throat. "Sorry, what I was trying to say was that Thor shouldn't have to worry about Mr. Pirate and his crew. Tony Stark's company was the provider for all the stuff used by them."
"Are you saying Friend Stark supplied Nick Fury and Maria Hill from the start?" the lord of all thunder asked with confusion and worry.
Erik stepped into the conversation. "He was just the provider. His father was the first to supply the organization when it first started." Yes, the good damaged Doctor had done his research before Darcy decided to make the big announcement on their gathering night. "I was contacted by email, Ms. Potts and him are doing all they can to ensure damage control and confinement of all technology once used by S.H.I.E.L.D. that HYDRA was trying to take. By the way Jane."
His face chimed with glee. "We will be funded by Mr. Stark personally so that we can continue with your work on the Convergence."
The Woman closed her mouth full of food to smile and geared forward to high five her mentor in which he returned the gesture. She could already smell the metal of that Nobel Prize over the scent of fresh Pizza.
"Rest in Peace." Darcy spoke loudly getting everyone's attention again. On the T.V. was a Wikipedia page showing information about the last Director in office of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Colonel. Nicholas J. Fury, stating the exact year of his birth and his death. This made Thor move to the edge of his seat, but he did not give a further reaction from there. Instead, he eyed the screen as if he was having a staring contest with the photo of a young Nick.
This didn't fall blindly to the others. Erik looking at the screen and internally going through a mixture of emotions as well for the Director.
Jane was hesitant and set down her Pizza on a paper plate. "Thor…."
"He is not dead." The blonde muscled man said with certain.
He repeated. "He is not dead. He is a master of spies my friends. His secrets have secrets. This has to be a hoax. A mere cover up. S.H.I.E.L.D. is gone, which means that he most likely disappeared with it."
The others were not quick to respond. Truly because they didn't know what to say to that statement. None of them except Thor and Selvig have had the time to properly meet the one-eyed man. There-fore they had the right to simply accept things the way they were and move on to the best of their efforts. Thor could tell the situation was becoming unpleasant, so he put his words together to conclude his brutal opinion.
"If he truly is dead then may he find peace among the Nine Realms, but if he isn't, I hope he is blessed with his journey to find a new serving purpose, he was not the greatest leader I have ever met. But time had forged him into a head strong soldier. As for the brave Stark, he did what was the right thing with withdrawing his arsenal. He was not at fault here, the more I process this the better I see it. After all, Lady Potts is a brilliant woman, who does not need a weapon to bring down evil forces." They all laughed at that final statement, except for Ian who chuckled and reached to grab a few slices of his own.
To sum it up, Thor opened the box with extra sausage and pepperoni, he grabbed two hot slices and stacked them on top each other. He casually leaned back and gave a tremendous bite to his homemade sandwich. Graciously, he accepted Jane when she grabbed her food again and rested her head on his pure muscled pectoral. Darcy finished her slice and was just about to grab another when the cruel temptation that was Youtube click bait caught her eye.
"Oh oh oh, we have yet to see Supergirl! Thor u didn't tell us that someone came from your home world with you." that being said. She clicked the video and the footage started. Everyone was silent as a mute button when the first thing their eyes caught was the actions of Supergirl flying through the sky thousands of feet above the ground next to what appeared to be Military Jets. The muffled sound of radio frequencies could also be heard but what got the group's attention was when the girl was being peppered with bullets that would've ruptured her to pieces followed by turning around to face them vertically with a stern glare. The segment was concluded when she turned back around going horizontal and blasting off at speeds the Jets couldn't even reach.
Darcy hit pause when Erik waved with his hand and he turned his torso to face Thor. "She has a point. Is there truly someone from Asgard here other than you….your brother didn't send her did he…..nevermind."
He finished correcting his observation and gave an expression to indicate he was sorry for letting that last part slide. They all knew Loki was dead. Thor didn't answer him however. Instead he eyed the paused image of sky and gently nudged Jane off so he could sit upright.
The woman must have been thinking just like him since she set her food down again. "Keep playing the video Darcy."
The Intern did as her boss told her. Next there was the scene of the caped blonde sticking out like a sore thumb in the massive crowd of the mall. It was a little funny when the woman bent over to drink from the display fountain but quickly grew brutal when two unknown women attempted to taser her and as a result came gruesome injures, knocked out heads and Supergirl vanishing from her crouch.
"Did you guys here that bone crunch." Darcy shivered in shock. "I think I just lost my appetite."
But of-course, the go lucky preppy needed one look at the boxes. "Oh, there it is."
They rolled their eyes but focused back on the montage.
The remaining three minutes of the montage was what really had them all enjoying a dinner and a show. Especially the parts where it showed glimpses of Captain America, Supergirl, the Black Widow, and the now known Falcon fighting in the streets of outer Washington. Thor swallowed the last bite of his sandwich hard when the helicopter recording of the heroes surrounding Lady Romanoff played. It reminded him of how serious the situation was on the count of it being an actual video and not something that came out of those "Action films" as to what Darcy liked to show him. They let out a sigh of relief when they escaped in the van followed by the hurricane like winds escaping Supergirl's mouth.
"Wow." Exclaimed Jane as the Triskellion suffered its collapse from the giant weapons that would've been used to destroy millions of innocent lives.
"She did all of that?" Ian had to ask.
Darcy chuckled with a mouth full. "They're not calling her Supergirl for nothing."
The conclusion was set when the camera was aimed at the clouds, catching the caped woman slowly disappear into the higher parts of the atmosphere.
Darcy scrolled down to see the video already grossing twenty million views from an anonymous poster who was already earning thousands of subscribers. She exited out of the page and turned to the Prince.
"Soooooo, who is she?"
All eyes were now on him as he looked at his hands, then at Jane, and Erik. The Woman he loved gripped his forearm and placed her other hand on his knee.
"Thor….Darcy and Erik have a point. Who's Supergirl?"
Just as they thought, the God of Thunder kept looking at his hands. He was recalling the conversation he had with Heimdall.
The Sun is alive my friend…..A Goddess is now living in secret among them."
The words of his dear friend came to life in his mind.
"You are saying there is a Goddess on Midgard?"
"The power with potential equivalency to one yes."
"Is she a threat?"
"That I cannot say, for even I am not sure."
On the outside he just looked like a man lost in thought, but in his head, Thor was battling the outcomes and revelations. He did remember the time they spoke about the Celestial from beyond the Nine Realms. The Goddess that was lurking on Midgard. Thor was not quick to accept that Supergirl was the one Heimdall spoke of. But the footage captured by the Humans made it difficult for denial. One thing was for certain. The Goddess, if that title did belong to Supergirl, was not living in secret amongst the Midgardians anymore. Such a bizarre display of abilities for a woman so young but promising. The strength and the immense durability were all naturally induced traits that an Asgardian inherited as they grew into brave proud warriors. But the speed, the immense beams of heat, the perfect formation of flight, and the lungs capable of creating force winds were powers that only his father would grant to the finest men and women of Asgard. Those included himself, Heimdall, and his deceased Mother and Brother. Supergirl however, was not of Asgard according to Heimdall. The Allfather had no partake in her unknown origin of power. Perhaps Supergirl, was indeed the Goddess. The Goddess of the Sun, Midgard's Sun. The last question that plagued him was her appearance. She was not of Asgard, but why did she have the appearance of one, or a Human for that matter? The cape sure was an enigma, along with the strange clothing Supergirl wore.
Before anyone in the room could shake him from his processed thoughts, The Asgardian beat them to it.
"You are all aware that you are my family. And I would never keep secrets from you. Especially if it was something important." He started just to clear some of the curiosity built up inside the humans.
Darcy blew out a quick raspberry before crunching down on her stuffed crust. "Of-course you not so gentle giant you."
Thor's spirit sure was lifted by the Intern's enthusiasm, causing him to push forward. "My dear friend, Heimdall, if you all remember….you for certain Jane." He eyed his love who nodded, remembering the All Seeing Asgardian who welcomed her after Thor called upon him to take them to Odin's Kingdom.
"Spoke to me about a major occurrence after I had settled things as best I could with my Father. He revealed that there was a Goddess among you people living here."
"Whoa whoa big guy!" Darcy paused with her hand. "You lost me there for a moment."
Jane eyed her Intern before staring intensively at Thor. "What major occurrence? Please tell us its over Thor. We can't handle another incident popping up year after year. Better worse a few months."
"A Goddess?" Erik asked while scratching the back of his scalp.
Thor wasn't allowed to continue due to Ian interrupting him. "Does Supergirl have something to do with this whole ordeal your trying to say?"
That question had the Prince Smiling. "Why yes. Heimdall and I agreed that we would keep this to ourselves, but it is best that you know as well. Judging by the news we have received The Goddess has revealed herself to Earth."
"Okay slow down." Jane tapped his forearm. "Why are you calling Supergirl a Goddess?"
"Yeah, and isn't everyone where you come from some sort of God or Demigod?" Darcy asked with a shrug.
Thor cleared his throat, remembering his place and his lessons on being humble. "Darcy, we are not Gods, the Asgardians are indeed some of the greatest and most powerful beings in all the Nine Realms but just like all living things. We are born, we live, and we die. As to what Ian has stated, this Supergirl might indeed be the Goddess Heimdall was telling me about. The Goddess of Midgard."
"So what you're telling us is that Supergirl, the chick who just wiped the floor with HYDRA, is not from Asgard?!" Darcy asked with a raised brow now fully into what Thor was revealing.
"You are right Darcy, Supergirl is not of Asgard. There is no tale of someone like herself in the histories that I have read as a child. Not even Heimdall could see as to what she truly was. It was complicated to a point where the theory of her coming from beyond Yggdrasil could be true considering she is not Asgardian nor Human. His very words spoke that the Sun was alive and that her presence had remained dormant until now."
Everyone's heart began to thump a little from what their Asgardian friend was saying. Jane swallowed the lump in her throat. "So you're saying she's a Goddess, from this world…..our world?!"
Thor grabbed the hands of his beloved. "The power with potential equivalency to one yes."
"But she can't be threat, can she?" the oldest human in the room spoke. "We saw her working with Captain Rogers."
"That is a good question and observation Erik, friend Steve had managed to convince her to join the fight against those who oppress the innocents, but I am not sure myself if she is a threat or not." Thor raised Jane's hand to press a kiss to her knuckles.
"O c'mon!" Darcy took over with confidence. "All she's ever done so far despite being new on the scene is kick bad guy butt. The real question we should be asking ourselves is Where is Supergirl? Last time our eyes saw, she disappeared into the sky."
The Intern's Intern used the silence that followed to speak before anyone else could. "Actually, there are a lot of other questions that we can and should ask ourselves. Like why does she look like a young woman wearing a cape if she's a Goddess? Are they calling her Supergirl because of that "S" on her chest as she's been described to wear? Is she some sort of Physical manifestation of the Sun considering what Thor said about her?"
Darcy grinned wickedly, feeling like she just had to throw it in there. "Does she Cameltoe the hell out of that Leotard?"
"Alright!" Jane slightly yelped after hearing once again more nonsense that came out of the Intern's mouth. The Doctor stood up to straighten her pajama shirt and walked around the couches and tables to stand right in front of everyone, blocking the view of the large T.V.
"Look…allot has happened over the last few days, no years. I'm sorry to say this Thor but you're wrong." She said to her lover with full determination. "Just because we mess with stuff we don't understand doesn't mean we are ready for a higher form of war."
"What are you trying to say?" this time it was Erik who interrupted her.
"What I'm saying is that we, as The Human Race are not ready to deal with things that could wipe us completely from the histories. Look at what happened when Thor came here the first time, he was banished and S.H.I.E.L.D. did everything they could to try and confine Mjölnir along with the Tesseract a year after followed by what Loki did to you." this was enough to make the Professor grow uncomfortable followed by Jane giving him an apologetic look. This didn't stop her from continuing.
"Then New York happened with the Alien Invasion, Tony Stark being attacked by Terrorists again, the return of the Dark Elves with the Convergence topped with the Aether that was once inside of me, the fall of the so called great organization that was supposed to protect us since World War II, and now we've awoken a Celestial like being who's now roaming the Earth." Jane then eyed Darcy, prompting the woman to say something.
"Like Erik said, where is this going? Cuz I know that look Boss, you're determined." Then the realization hit Darcy Lewis. "That's it isn't it? We now live in a crazy World we are not ready for, The Avengers are now the only ones best qualified to defend it, S.H.I.E.L.D. is done and gone. You wanna take matters into your own hands and find Supergirl!"
The Astronomer grabbed her Intern's hand and raised her out off the couch to pull her in for a massive sisterly hug. "And people don't believe me when I say you're smarter than you look."
"Yeah yeah I love you too." Darcy patted Jane's back gently before getting out of the hug and taking a step back. "But are you truly serious about this?"
"Dead serious." The woman saw her beloved stand up from his seat.
"Jane, it is great that you are being brave and wish to embark on the journey to find the missing Goddess…..but what of your work?" he referred to the desk on the other side of the complex containing all sorts of equipment, notes, and research.
"My work is not going anywhere. I'll review it from time to time."
The Asgardian lifted his eyebrows in shock. "You are indeed serious!"
"Count me in!" Darcy raised her hand and was glad when her Boss delivered back the high five.
"Me too." Erik stood up next while adjusting his shirt. "I'm still in my Leave of Absence, the hunt for this new girl sounds exciting already! There's nothing more assuring than realizing the world is crazier than you!"
Thor did nothing as Ian was the last to stand.
"I'm in! This life of action doesn't happen to everybody."
Darcy grinned wickedly and pulled him in followed by spinning him around in her arms with surprising strength, she lowered his body to where he looked like as if he fainted and the act was completed with Darcy smothering her lips over her Intern/Fuck Buddy.
The unpaid Intern was spun back to his original stature as Thor eyed them both.
"Don't you both have educational courses to still take?"
Jane approached the Master of all Thunder. "Relax, they both take them online, as in over the Computer in case you didn't get what I was saying." She placed a palm on his chest. "Most importantly, we need you on this. We need to find Supergirl, we don't know what she's capable of nor of her true intentions, but it takes two to tango. In this world you are the God of Thunder. You need to talk to her. And assure that she can work with us to avoid another event that involves the world being destroyed. Earth can have another great defender besides you and The Avengers."
It took a small moment to process her words, but the Son of Odin quickly caught on and cupped her cheek. "You never seize to surprise me Lady Jane, you are an intelligent scholar putting others needs and wants before yours and that of course is just one of the reasons why you have stolen my heart."
The beautiful woman smiled at his charm, that always worked with just him. She leaned in to deliver her own passionate affection when suddenly a large Hammer, Thor's hammer to be specific came between them, their lips almost grazing the mystic weapon with the echoing sound of the vibrational power being heard.
"Ah, ah, ah." Darcy purposely interrupted while holding Mjölnir by the very end of the handle. "No public display unless you do it with style."
The Human and Asgardian looked at Darcy with surprise on how easily she was able to sneak around to get the hammer again. The tall man pushed the mystic metal away from their faces. "I've asked too many times and I will keep asking, how are you worthy Darcy Lewis?"
"Mew Mew likes me! Now if you don't mind I have a picture portrait of all of us I need to nail to the wall over there." She didn't give anybody a chance to talk when she turned on her heal and walked away.
The couple from different worlds chuckled at the crazy girl, she might have been the only applicant, but Jane wouldn't have it any other way. "That's our Darcy."
They gave each other a quick lip peck before setting down on the couch once again. Erik and Ian followed the same actions. The night was far from over, and they still had fresh take out. Just when they thought they could settle down from their plan three loud bangs were heard across the complex that most likely rattled the entire building as well, when they turned their necks to another part of the apartment there was Darcy hanging the said portrait on the wall that now had giant cracks with a long nail bent into it. It wasn't her best work, but she made it due.
"Perfect!" the Intern tossed the Hammer over her shoulder and the powerful weapon professionally spun in the air to land on a lamp table not to far from behind her. It was an absolute miracle how the piece of furniture didn't shatter and a big relief for the real estate. The girl paid no mind and ran to leap over a section of the couch to land in Ian's lap, after all, he had no choice but to catch her.
"So, when do we roll out Jane?"
The Doctor chewed her Pizza first before asking. "What do you mean?"
"I mean when do we leave to go on the hunt for Supergirl? After all, you're the leader of the gang, well unofficial leader but still."
Jane cocked a brow before looking at Thor.
"Darcy does have a point Jane, I am as you all would call, the Muscle." He popped one of his pecs and flexed a bicep.
She then looked at Selvig to which he just nodded with a proud smile. He maybe the first brains of this squad, but Jane was always the first head diver.
It all fell on her after all.
"Tomorrow we head for the States!" she started with determination in her voice. "We'll pack in the morning, everything, equipment, clothes, and our belongings. "I'll book us tickets over my phone to Washington, that's where she was last seen so it's a start to investigate. We'll have to rent out an R.V. big enough for all of us. We'll avoid the authorities as best we can, considering the real secret agencies are now in charge of undercover work. This investigation can only go so far so I hope you're all in on this with me."
"We are not leaving you, Boss."
"We are your comrades."
"I really did teach you everything didn't I?"
"Still not getting paid but I wouldn't miss this."
Here they go again. An Asgardian wielder of Thunder, two brilliant Astro Physicists, A Crazy Taser Queen, and a shy good-hearted Intern. Ready to begin the search for the missing Goddess.
Capitol Hill- Washington D.C.
Pepper sat in her seat inside the Limo as she typed away on her Laptop that was resting on her own lap. She would be lying if she spoke out loud that she was not nervous from the talk she had with the Senate. After all, she was not the only one in the world who could be serious with a straight face. Who was she kidding? She was Virginia Pepper Potts! It didn't matter if it sounded arrogant, she was and would always be a notorious woman who could make anyone obey her. Who can outsmart and out speak even the most professional self-controlled men and women. Nobody had the capacity to dethrone her from such a position. Posing a challenge yes, but never dethroning. She commanded respect, and all the training that someone endured, all that pain from discipline that they faced would never be enough to shake the CEO who could tell the very Black Widow in the flesh to kneel before her feet. Still however, the late middle-aged woman did her best to calm her breathing, and it was working.
The redhead sighed when she pressed send to deliver Jane Foster's new balance in her account, along with deploying one of the Prototype Iron Legion drones that would personally deliver her Gold and Platinum Cards along with four more provided to Dr. Erik Selvig and Intern Darcy Lewis.
That being said, She closed her computer and as if on cue, her infamous Man Child of a Boyfriend opened the door to let himself slide in. Lucky for him no Press or Paparazzi managed to spot him while he was making his way to the Limo. He took his sunglasses off his face to simply toss them on the car floor and brought his CEO into his lap. The woman didn't hesitate to straddle his hips and lean her face in to engulf her lips with his. He rubbed his hands across her back, being comfortable with settling them on her hips followed by ending the little victory kiss. This however didn't stop him from planting his lips over her lean neck and began to nibble and the slightly freckle tainted flesh. Pepper just had to giggle due to the sensation of feeling her Boyfriend's love and appreciation for her. They had done it! Justice had prevailed once again…..for now.
"Mr. Stark…." She whispered seductively while running her hands across his shoulders.
"God, what would I do without you? Where would I be without you?" he whispered back while kissing the more inner parts of her exposed collar. The woman then proceeded the grip his waist harder with her hips followed by trailing her palms to his chest.
"I told you you're not alone in this." with surprising strength she twisted his body so that he fell onto the long seats as if it were a bed, with Pepper still being on top of him. She was just about to go for the first button on her blouse when they were suddenly interrupted.
"Ahem!" came the exaggerated clearing of the throat from none other than Happy Hogan. Who was at the front in the driver's seat wearing his usual dark business suit with matching bullet proof sunglasses. His expression was serious, but anybody could tell that he was blushing tremendously in the rear-view mirror. "What is this the third time you guys pulled this off? You could've at least checked to see if I wasn't in the car."
Upon realizing the new and familiar situation they were in the billionaires went into a frenzy of trying to fix their postures and clothing. Tony picking up his glasses to place them on the bridge of his nose, Pepper raising her skirt, Tony thawing out the crinkles of his suit, Pepper adjusting her heels that were falling off her feet, the Bearded man making sure he had his belt on, the ginger woman assuring that all her buttons on her blouse were intact, and last and most certainly least the sight of the two business people sitting side by side in a professional manner. Tony casually leaning back while Pepper placed her hardworking hands in her lap while crossing a leg over the other.
"That blush you guys have on ya'lls faces just makes it more awkward."
The two eyed each other before turning back to their Driver.
"Yup."
"Definitely."
Wanting nothing more than for this to be a forgotten memory, Happy changed the subject. "I hope things went well Boss, I'm sorry that after all this time things were not the way they seemed."
"Don't mention it Pal, Aunt Peggy's work all came down….but its better this way. Isn't that what we do? Tear things down to build a better future?"
Pepper then took one of his hands to give it a firm squeeze. "Yes, and we will face even greater hardships in those promising futures. But we just gotta do what we do best."
"Fight for it." Tony concluded as they both shared a quick kiss.
"Just take us to the airport Happy." Pepper politely demanded.
Ultimately the Bouncer built man did as he was told and started the engine of the Limo. Within seconds the vehicle took off. The Billionaires in the back took a different approached and closed in on each other slowly. The right and left hand of the couple entwining and the woman's head rested on the shoulder of her beloved. They would let the Company do all the cleaning down at the destroyed Base. It was safe to know that all Stark Tech was being secured in the Cargo Quinjets by loyal Stark Industries workers. The FBI had no choice but to protect the Tech being taken due to regulations of the Contract between Stark Industries and the former industry of S.H.I.E.L.D. All they wanted to do now was meet up with Bruce back at the Tower. They would tell J.A.R.V.I.S. to save the results to be consulted for another time.
Unknown Location
Clint Barton sat at the edge of his bed that he shared with his wife Laura. He had one hand resting on a knee while the other grappled his phone. The Archer didn't want to believe it at first when he saw the News from the television on what was going down in Washington. It was one of those moments where one had to see to believe. And even with everything that's happened Hawkeye still didn't want to believe. He didn't want to believe what had happened to S.H.I.E.L.D. What it truly was under the skin. The agency that he swore his allegiance to for over the last two decades of his life was nothing but a host for a parasite that he was glad was now put down. Not completely but at least the heart was now gone. Now he understood why Nat had told him to stay put, told him to not answer any of their calls. And by God he got a lot of calls. Some were from level Clearances that he recognized all too well, but he never once got a call from Hill or Fury. He was grateful Natasha called, nobody had come to infiltrate the house, but Barton would not have been able to live with himself had he abandoned his family for the duty that was A special Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. Given the circumstances as of now he wasn't even that anymore. He was out of a job. To add fuel to the flame that was crazy, Clint didn't even know if that was a good thing or a bad thing. Lately he had been spending more time with his family, even before the Uprising. It felt great to be able to cherish precious moments with his loved ones, an opportunity that not all skilled Assassins like himself got. But then there was the realization that he wasn't an Agent anymore. Archer, yes, the best this world had not yet seen, just not a member of S.H.I.E.L.D. anymore. And if he wasn't an Agent, what could he be now besides a loving Husband and caring Father?
He felt as though he deserved to be stabbed to death. There was no besides. He was and had to continue to be a loving husband and caring Father! His little Lila was growing up, along with his precious first-born Cooper, what a smart boy he had turned out to be. He was only gonna get bigger. Laura's stomach was getting bigger too.
He was having another baby with Laura. A third born! She had been examined before by a Doctor Helen Cho and they were certain it would be another girl. To show respect to the woman he considered a sister, he would name her Natasha.
Little Natasha.
Just thinking of that name must've triggered a neurological physic link since Clint received a message above the screen of his phone. He gave a soft smile and pressed to maximize the text chat they rarely shared. He cocked a brow at the photo he was seeing.
The text bubble above read "Hope". While the image at the bottom was a Styled red "S" inside a yellow crested diamond.
