While piloting the Quinjet, Natasha watches the night sky, there were a lot of clouds and the occasional clap of thunder. Fury speaks from Natasha's headset and asked, "Did he say anything?"
"Not a single word."
"Just get him here. We're low on time."
In the back of the Quinjet, Loki was tied up and cuffed to his seat. Tony and Steve watch from a distance, whispering.
"I don't like it.." Steve whispered.
"What? Mr. Freeze giving up so easily?"
"I don't remember it ever being that easy. This guy packs a punch."
"Still, you are pretty spry for an older fellow. What's your thing? Synchronized swimming?"
Steve gave Tony a look of confusion before saying, "What?"
"It's like calisthenics. You might have missed some things, you know, doing your time as a Fruit Pop."
Steve shot Tony a glare, both were going to have a war of egos.
"Fury didn't tell me he was calling you in."
"Yeah, there's a lot of things that Swamp doesn't tell you."
Thunder and lightning almost hit the jet, causing it to shake violently. Natasha looked up at the sky nervously and bit her lip and asked, "where did this come from?"
Thunder rumbled overhead. Loki froze up (No pun intended) and looks out the window cautiously. Steve turns to look at the Necrofriggian and smirked.
"What's the matter? Scared of a little lightning?" Steve asked
"I am not too overly fond of what follows." Loki replied.
A blinding light hits the jet and a caped figure with a hammer landed on the Quinjet. It was Thor the Prince of thunder. Thor is an asgardian Tetramand, he has well developed muscles, two pairs of four fingered arms and red skin. Thor has two pairs of cobalt blue eyes a main pair and a smaller pair which narrowed as he looked ahead. The god of thunder is eight feet tall, wears a red cape and silver metal circles, red wristbands and a golden belt with his omni symbol as the buckle. Thor let go of the Quinjet as Tony activated his Volcanic armor and opened the hatch, Thor landed on the hatch, he walked forward to get Loki but Tony held up his hands ready to fire but was knocked back into steve with the swing of Thor's hammer. Thor grabs Loki by the throat and flies out, leaving Fire man to stand up
"Now there's that guy." Tony said as Steve stood up
"That guy's a friendly?" Asked the Petrosapien.
"Doesn't matter, If he frees Loki or kills him, the Alphax is lost."
Fire Man turns and gets ready to jump off the jet to chase after Thor.
"Blast, we need a plan of attack!"
"I have a plan. Attack." Replied Tony
Fire Man jumps out of the jet and Chases after Thor. Steve grabs a parachute to follow. Natasha watched from the rearview mirror.
"I'd sit this one out, Diam."
"I don't see how I can."
"These guys come from legend, They're basically Gods."
"There's only one god, ma'am. And I'm pretty sure he doesn't dress like that."
Diamond America grabs his shield and jumps off the Quinjet.
Somewhere in the European mountains, Thor throws Loki into the side of the mountain ledge. He raises his hammer Mjolnir as he looks down at his brother, Who he thought was dead and is pissed off not at the fact that he was alive but that he was alive and was causing trouble for Earth's Residents.
"Where is the Alphax?" Thor asks sternly at his brother who was laughing.
"Oh, how I missed you too." Loki said while still laying on the floor.
"Do I look to be in the gaming mood?! Enough with your tricks and Riddles!"
Loki sat up as he looked at Thor, he was still smiling as he said, "Oh, You should thank me. With the Bifrost gone how much dark energy did the Allfather have to muster to conjure you here? Your precious Earth."
Thor drops Mjolnir, causing the mountain to quake. He grabbed Loki with his lower arms and his upper right arm ready to punch him. His brother. As pissed as he was, Thor felt that family is everything to Alien, Man, or God.
"I thought you dead." Thor said as he looked into Loki's eyes.
"Did you mourn?" Loki replied with a blank expression on his face. as he looked back at Thor.
"We all did, Our father..."
Loki held up a finger, cutting Thor off from his sentence as he corrected, "YOUR father. He did tell you of my true parentage, did he not?"
Thor lets go of Loki, who walks away from Thor while holding his arm, causing a big emotional and physical gap between them.
"We were raised together, we played together, we fought together! Do you remember none of that?!"
Loki turned around to look at Thor.
"I remember a shadow. Living in the shade of your greatness. I remember you tossing me to an abyss with a injured wing that has yet to heal. I who was and should be king!"
"So you take the world I love as recompense for your imagined slights? No, the Earth is under my protection Loki." Thor said as he took a couple of steps closer to his Brother. Loki laughed at what Thor had said.
"And you're doing an amazing job with that. The Residents slaughter each other in droves, while you Ideally threat me. I need to rule them. And why should I not?" retorted Loki.
"You think yourself above them?" Asked Thor.
Loki made a confused face as he answered, "Well...Yes."
Thor walks up to Loki with a sad look and said, "Then you miss the truth of ruling, brother. The Throne would suit you ill.."
Loki angrily shoved Thor to the side. He walks back to the ledge then turns around.
"I have seen worlds you would never dream about! I have grown, Boltson, in my exile! I have seen the true power of the Alphax, and when I wield it..."
Thor cut Loki off and pointed at him as he walked closer to him again.
"Who showed you this power? Who controls the would-be-king?"
"I am a king!" Loki shouted at his brother. Thor grabbed Loki's shoulders and shook them.
"Not here! You give up the Alphax! You give up this venomous dream!" Shouted Thor, after a second passed Thor put a reassuring hand on Loki's neck as he said calmly, "You come home."
Loki shook his head and smiled saying, "I don't have it."
Thor extended both his right hands and Mjolnir flew back into his grasp, as Loki continued unnerved.
"You need the Stone to bring you back home, but I've sent it off, I know not where."
Thor pointed his Hammer at the Necrofriggian and said, "Listen well, Brother. I..."
The black and yellow haired Tetramand didn't finish his sentence as he was tackled off the mountain by Fire Man in mid-flight. Loki smirked as he looked at the smoke trail that followed.
"I'm Listening."
Thor and Fire Man crash into a nearby forest. Thor rolls himself up and groaned as he stood. Fire Man was still standing, but kept his distance from the Asgardian.
"Don't touch me again." Warned Thor as he glared at Tony.
"Then don't take my stuff." Tony replied with a smirk.
"You have no idea what you're dealing with."
Tony looks around and raised an eyebrow as he looked back at the "God" of thunder, and asked, "Um, Shakespeare in the park? Doth mother know you weareth her drapes?"
Thor became visibly irritated at the Pyronite before him for saying that comment about his cape.
"This is beyond you, Flame man. Loki will face Asgardian justice!" Thor said.
"He gives up the stone, he's all yours. Until then, stay out of my way...Tourist." Tony said as he was ready to fly. In one quick move Thor threw Mjolnir at Fire Man, knocking him into a tree.
Tony looked up at Thor, visibly pissed, "Okay, that's how he wants to play?"
Loki watched the scene in amusement from the mountain. Thor raised his upper right hand, Mjolnir flies back into his hand. Thor then started swinging the hammer around and around so that he could fly. Tony stands up and fires a blast of fire and energy from his Omnipalms, knocking the Tetramand on his butt. Fire Man flew back up and punched Thor into a tree.
Thor, kneeling on the ground, summoned his hammer back into his hands, raised it up to the sky and pulled in lightning and thunder! Thor with glowing Blue eyes and sparks of electricity coming from his red skin and spikes, pointed his hammer at Fire Man and blasted the Pyronite with powerful bolts of lightning, all of that lightning however was absorbed by Fire Man's Omni-devices and converted it into energy for him. Fire Man fell back as Jarvis's voice came from Tony's headset and said, "Power at four hundred percent capacity."
Tony smirks and says, "How about that?"
Fire Man fired away from his Omnipalms, pushing Thor to his knees. Thor and Tony got into fighting stances, Both Thor and Fire man flew towards each other and met in the middle and flew upwards to the sky. The two heroes battle, Fire Man grabbed Thor elbowing him and smashing him into the side of a mountain. Thor punched Fire Man in the face with his left arms and leaped off the mountain, taking Fire Man with him.
Both Heroes crashed right back down to the forest, knocking down two trees in the process. Fire Man yanked Thor right up and punched him in the face for payback, he goes in again but Thor catches both of his wrists with his upper arms and begins to squeeze, causing lots of cracks to form on the thick molten plates. Tony winces before charging as much power as he can and shoots a blast of fire in Thor's face.
Thor stumbled blinking from the light and fire losing his stance. Fire Man took this chance and headbutted him with his flaming magma plated head. Thor headbutts him with his own hard head and sent Fire Man tumbling across the forest. Fire Man looked up with a huge crack on left side of his head
Fire Man flies back at the Gimlinopithecus, grabbing him by the arm and cape and swung him into another tree. Thor stood up with all of his patience spent. Fire Man swings and misses, Thor used the momentum to grab the Pyronite, lift him up over his head and smashes him on the ground hard.
Thor summons Mjolnir back into his hands. Just as he was about to do the finishing blow, Fire Man uses his Omnipalms to skid across the forest floor and tripped the God over. Standing up, Thor looked everywhere but behind him, Fire Man flies in and stopped flying using the force and the momentum to superman punch Thor in the face. Thor stands again facing Fire Man both ready to attack, until Diamond America's shield ricochets off both Thor and Fire Man, stopping them. Both look up and see Diamond America standing on top of a fallen tree as he catches his shield and slips it on his arm.
"Hey! That's enough!" Steve yells as he jumped down from the tree and lands perfectly on the ground and looked at Thor. "Now, I don't know what you plan on dong here."
"I've come here to put an end to Loki's schemes!" Yelled the Tetramand, obviously irritated.
"Then prove it! Put the hammer down." Steve said coolly.
Fire Man shook his head and said, "Um, Yeah, No! Diam, bad call! He loves his hammer!
Thor backhands Fire Man like a boss with Mjolnir. Thor lost all patience and tolerance with the sentinel of Liberty and raised his hammer. He glared at Diam and shouted, "YOU WANT ME TO PUT THE HAMMER DOWN?! FINE!"
Thor leaped up high in the air, raising his hammer. Diamond America crouches down and holds up his shield. Thor brought the hammer down onto the shield and a massive implosion of light came from the Taydenite/vibranium shield and the magical Uru hammer, the implosion created a massive shockwave that blew away anything near the area for a mile. Fire Man stands up brushing away debris and dirt from his body, he looked around thinking "HOLY CRAP!" Diam was lying next to him who stood up too and kept his eyes on Thor. Thor looked at both Aliens in front of him as he stood up as well.
"Are we done here, man?" Steve asked Thor.
All three heroes stood there for a few minutes, eventually Thor nodded slightly.
In the Helicarrier, dozens of S.H.I.E.L.D. Police escort Loki, in handcuffs, who was smiling. As they pass the Helicarrier Lab, Bruce Banner stopped working on the Chitauri scepter and looked up. Loki made eye contact with the scientist as he walked, nodding and smiling. Bruce massaged his temples.
In the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier detention section, Loki was free from his handcuffs and is now imprisoned in a large metal and glass prison cell held by hydrolic rigs. Swamp Fury walks up to the control panel of the cell.
"In case it's not clear. You try to escape. You so much as freeze or scratch that glass..."
Fury presses a button which opens up a hatch underneath Loki's cell. Loki peers as much as he could from the glass. The sounds of the gusting wind would make a normal human pee himself, but not a God.
"...Thirty thousand feet, straight down in a steel trap. You get how that works, Snow Fairy?!" Fury continued.
Fury closes the hatch, then to enphasize his point he pointed to Loki. "Ant."
The Methanosian pointed to the button on the control panel, "Boot."
Loki smirked at Swamp Fury and walked around his prison as he spoke, "It's an impressive cage. Not built I think, for Moi."
"It was built for something waaaaaaay stronger than you." Fury replied.
"Oh, I've heard." Loki said smiling. He then looked at the camera.
The others were watching the events of what was going on in the detention sector on a monitor in the briefing room.
"A mindless, destructive beast, makes play that he is a man. How desperate are you, You call on such lost creatures to defend you?" Loki asked as he turned to look at the Methanosian in front of him.
"How desperate am I? You threaten my world with war. You steal a force that you can't hope to control. You talk about peace and you kill because it is fun. You have made me very desperate. You might not be glad that you did."
Loki smiled and narrowed his eyes, "Ooh. It burns you to come so close. To have the Alphax, to have power, Unlimited power. And for what? A warm light for all of residentkind to share, and then to be reminded what real power is."
Fury smirked as he turned around and said, "Well, let me know if "Real Power" wants a magazine or something."
Fury walked off leaving the Necrofriggian in his cell. Loki looks back at the camera, smirking.
Back at the briefing room, Steve watches until the monitor turns black. Thor, who didnt look, just listened, stands there, torn apart mentally. They all just stood there in stunned silence.
"He really grows on you, doesn't he?" The Vaxasaurian doctor asked as he looked at the others from the corner.
"Loki's gonna drag this out." Steve said before looking at Thor, "So, Thor, what's his play?"
Thor snapped out of his thoughts as he looked at the gathered people in the room and said, "He has an army called the Chitauri. They're not of Asgard or of any world known. He plans to lead them against your people. They will win him the Earth, In return, I suspect, the Alphax."
Steve looked at Thor with a serious look on his face. "An Army? From outer space? An undocumented species from deep in space?"
Natasha shrugged at the last question, as Bruce walked closer to the table.
"So he's building another portal. That's what he needs Erik Selvig for."
Thor looked at Banner with a raised eyebrow and turned to look at him and asked, "Selvig?"
"He is an astrophysicist." Banner replied.
"He's a friend." Thor clarified.
"Loki has him under some weird spell, along with one of our own. This spell is one that I cannot lift, even with my powers." said Natasha as she looked down at some files on the table.
"I wanna know why Loki let us take him. He's not leading an army from here." Steve said.
Bruce shook his head as he said, "I don't think that we should focus on Loki. That guy's brain is like a bag full of Appoplexians, you could smell crazy on him."
Thor grit his teeth as he glared at Dr. Banner. "Have care of how you speak. Loki may be beyond reason, but he is of Asgard, and also my brother."
Natasha looked up at the Asgardian with a raised eyebrow. "He killed eighty people in two days." she pointed out bluntly.
Thor stood there like an idiot for a few seconds before saying, "He's adopted..."
Steve snorted, "Heh, Yeah we noticed."
Banner grabbed a tablet and flipped through some files until he found the one on Corrodium and zoomed in on the photo.
"I think it's about the mechanics. Corrodium, what does Loki need Corrodium for?" asked the Vaxasaurian as he held it up and pointed to the photo of the dark purple glowing rock.
"It's a stabilizing agent." Tony said as he walked in with Coulson, now in his more stable form. He then whispered to Agent Coulson, "Just call me and I'll fly you to Portland, keep the love alive."
Tony then directed his attention to the group of people in front of him.
"Means the portal won't collapse on itself, like it did at the S.H.I.E.L.D. base." Tony continued before patting Thor on the shoulder with a smile, "No hard feelings, He-Man. You have a mean swing...Also, it means that the portal can open wide, and stay open as long as Loki wants."
Tony then looked at the crew and said, "Uh, raise the missenmast, jib the top sails."
Everybody turned and looked at the Pyronite, Tony then pointed to a random crewmember and said, "Those two are playing Galaga! Thought we wouldn't notice. But I did." Tony then covers his eye and looks around. "How does Fury see these?"
"He turns." Hill replied.
"Sounds, exhausting. The rest of the raw materials, Agent Barton can get his hands on pretty easily. Only major component he still needs is a very powerful power source. A high energy density, something to kickstart the Stone." Tony said before placing a button sized implant under one of Fury's monitors, without anybody noticing.
"When did you become an expert in thermonuclear astrophysics?" Agent Hill asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Last night." Tony replied. Agent Hill furrowed her brow. "The packet, Selvig's notes, The extraction Theory papers? Am I the only one who did the reading?"
"Does Loki need any kind of particular power source?" Steve asked.
Banner took off his glasses and walked around in a small circle as he explained, "He would have to heat the Stone to a hundred and twenty million Kelvin just to break through the Anocast barrier."
"Unless, Selvig figured out how to stabilize the quantam tunneling effect." Tony interjected.
"Well, If he could do that then he could achieve heavy ion fusion at any reactor on the planet." Banner said.
"Finally, someone who speaks English!" Tony said as he and Banner walked towards each other. Steve looked around at anyone with a confused expression.
"Is that what just happened?" asked the Petrosapien.
Tony and Bruce shake hands. A glimmer in their eyes shines as the mutual respect for each other shows.
"It's good to meet you Doctor Banner. You're work on Anti-electron collisions is unparalleled. And I'm a huge fan of the way you lose control and Hyper-Evolve into an enormous green rage monster." Tony said.
Bruce looked down with a small smile and replied, "...Thanks..."
Fury walked in and said, "Doctor Banner is only here to track the Stone. I was hoping that you might join him."
"Let's start with that stick of his. It may be magical, but it works a whole lot like a HYDRA weapon." Steve said pointedly.
"I don't know about that, but it is powered by the Stone, I am sure of that. And I would like to know how Loki used it to turn two of my men into his personal flying monkeys." Fury said as he looked at the Avengers before him. Thor was confused at what the Methanosian had just said.
"Monkeys? I do not undersand.." Thor commented. Steve looked up and snapped his fingers as he said, "I do!"
Tony rolled his eyes, while Diam looked proud of himself, "I understand that reference."
Tony turned to Dr. Banner and asked, "Shall we play doctor?" "Lets go play then." Bruce responded with a smile.
A Bruce and Tony walk out, a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent turns ever so slightly, and watched everyone disperse and then nudges a Thep Khufan next to him and they started playing Galaga again.
