He opened the TARDIS doors when he heard a beeping from the monitor. He went over to it, pressing the button. Reading over it. "No. No, no, no. What? No, this can't happen!" He shook his head, quickly going to to type numbers in furiously before pulling the lever harshly. "No! This cannot happen!" The doctor cried out in desperation. Once the TARDIS landed with a jerk he ran out the doors before stopping. New York. 2012. And it was gone. The Doctor walked out, looking in shock and horror of the rubble of what used to be downtown,New York. Buildings destroyed, nothing but ashes. He kept walking, letting his feet lead him because his mind was in overdrive. He could smell something in the air. A mixture of smoke and blood and it sickened him. He suddenly heard rushed footstep, looking around then up, his eyes widening. The Stark Tower. Tony. What has Tony done to have caused this destruction? He barely heard the loud shuts of the corrupt military men around him, taking him by his arms, taking him a way. Somewhere, he didn't know.
He was dragged to a golden room, thrown to the floor. He assumed this was a throne room. He looked. It was Stark Tower only completely taken over. He could see the destroyed city from the bent bars of the had-been window. He looked up, seeing a green,gold and black figure. "What is going on? Who is responsible for this?" He stood up, pointing to the window, he could feel his anger growing, seething. Loki smirked, standing with his golden staff. "The humans. They were willing to level there own city, sacrifice there own people in the hope of destroying me. They failed, obviously. They hadn't known just how strong this tower actually is and just how powerful I am. Anthony Stark was smart. Not smart enough. Guards, take The doctor away. I'll speak with him later." The Doctor stared at him in horror and anger. What happened? He still didn't know. The guards dragged him away, taking him towards the dungeons.
The Doctor was thrown into another room. He guessed it used to be Tony's lab. It brought water to his eyes. It was nearly destroyed, He knew it would break Tony's heart if he saw it. But he had to get out of here. Figure out what happened, what Tony has to do with it and fix it. He was the Doctor, he could do this. He looked past some of the rubble and aw a body. He went over. He hearts stopping when he saw dark hair, turning over the man, he sucked in a breath. "Tony..." he was dead. Those bright, curious eyes dulled and void of the life they held. He had to control himself not to break down.
He saw movement in the cornor. He thought he saw red fabric. He walked over. "Hello? Who's there?" "Aye, I am here." The Doctor turned a cornor, frowning. "The Mighty Thor?What's happened to you?" He looked to the fallen God. He was chained, he looked weak, starved, his large muscles much smaller, thin even. Dirt and blood matted his hair. Thor smiled weakly, he could tell it was full of pain. "Not so mighty anymore." The Doctor swallowed the lump in his throat. Seeing the fallen God before him was one of the most heartbreaking things he has ever seen. "What happened?" Thor looked deep in thought. "It was a failing battle. My brother, Loki, threatened this world, he craved power and vengeance. He wanted to rule and dominate the world. We tried to stop him-" "We? What do you mean we? Who else was in this battle?" Thor swallowed thickly. Most likely severely dehydrated. "My fellow comrades. The Avengers. We were overpowered and outnumbered. When S.H.I.E.L.D sent in the bomb, none of us could stop it. Thats when I felt this shield around me. Protecting me from the blast then transported me to my brother's throne room. I am not sure who else survived., if they survived. I know my brother protected me, to mock me."
The Doctor scratched at his head."Oh this is not good. The future's changed so drastic, horribly and I need to fix it. What do you know of Tony Stark?" Thor thought again. "I do not know much. I only know that we are in what is left of his tower." The Doctor slumped, patting his shoulder. "I'm sorry this happened. This happened because Of me, because I wanted to give a little boy a little happiness." Thor looked at him softly. "Some things you cannot change, no matter how hard you want them to."
The Doctor looked to him, tears welled in his eyes. Thor frowned softly. "This is my brothers doing. He was ever this maniacal and power hungry. I tried hard to stop him, to bring back the brother that was lost to the Tesseract. But aye, the fates are a cruel mistress." The Doctor shook his head. He had to get back to the TARDIS and figure out what happened to Tony Stark and his importance to this situation. "Thor, do you know of any way out of here without Loki's knowing.?" Thor looked around. "There is a doorway, toward the back but it is blocked by various equipment." The Doctor smiled, grabbing Thor's head, kissing it before standing and running off. Thor smiled, watching him. "Farewell strange man."
The Doctor headed toward the back, fighting his way thru fallen metal cabinets and hanging live wires. He heard the door to the lab open, hiding behind the large metal cabinet. He heard the exchange between Loki and Thor. "Where is he brother?" Loki sounded angry. Sneering. Thor looked up. "Where is who brother?" Loki growled. "Don't play dumb you oaf! The doctor! Where is the Doctor!?" Thor continued to play dumb. "Doctor...Doctor who? I do not recall a man with that name or another in here for that matter." Loki growled, gripping his shirt, bringing Thor to his face. "Then you will be without water for another night." Thor glared. "I will accept th-" He grunted in pain as Loki stabbed him with his scepter. Loki growled in his face. "Tell me where the doctor is." Thor grunted out. "I do not know this doctor. But I could certainly use one.." Thor couldn't help but smirk, knowing it would anger his brother. Loki pushed him away with a sneer. "Do not get smart, it doesn't suit you." He turned harshly, ready to find the doctor at whatever cost.
The doctor waited until Loki left, continuing his mission. He managed to get outside, but not before stumbling, triggering an alarm. It was an emergency exit. He started running, the TARDIS was a block from the tower. He heard running and shots behind him. Ducking a few times as some hit his hair. He barely manged to get inside the TARDIS in one piece as he leaned against the doors, catching his breath. Once he caught his breath he ran to the console, putting in Tony Stark again. He got to the cave then continued reading. He should have finished reading. That cave created Iron Man, Iron Man saved the world. Iron Man took a nuke into space. The Nuke that destroyed new York without Iron Man to save it. That is why Thor knew so little about him. They never met. He still made weapons but he was very smart about them,made sure they didn't get into the wrong hands, took a valued interest in his company, even went onto made revolutionary medical devices. He ran both hands down his face, leaning his elbows on the console. "Oh Tony, I'm so, so sorry." He felt his eyes well. He should have learned by now that you can't save everyone.
