"Hmm…son of Coul?"
"Coulson, Mr. Odinson. What is your question?"
"…Where exactly are we?" I asked as I looked at the raging seas all around us, a bit confused at where the hell we went considering we've been flying for almost six hours straight without catching sight of land the entire time.
"Somewhere top secret. From here, we'll be heading out to the new destination."
"Ah, of course." I nodded as I followed after the agent, nodding and waving at the groups of agents saluting the moment Coulson and I passed before chuckling at their confused glances at each other.
"So, where is this…aerial fortress you spoke of?" I asked, faking not knowing any information of the Heli-Carrier as Coulson looked at me with a hum before turning back.
"You'll see."
"You know, the whole secret spy thing kind of loses its coolness when I've already shocked you guys with information that I know of."
"…Hah, the fortress is hidden or else it wouldn't be an aerial fortress for long with how many people would want to shoot it down. Ah, here is one of the men you'll be teaming up with." Coulson spoke as we walked onto the jet and I hid my shock at the sight of a woman inside the jet.
Sitting on one of the seats with a regal pose, her chocolate dark skin was the first thing I noticed, her luscious and wavy white hair being the second and her curvaceous yet toned figure being the third.
Dressed in a simple white blouse, a long purple skirt with reddish purple ends and tan open-toed sandles along with numerous gold and purple bracelets on each of her wrists as well as a gold choker necklace around her neck, anyone who knew the MCU would be surprised to see an iconic X-Men figure sitting in front of me.
"Mr. Odinson, this is Ms. Ororo Munroe, codename Storm. Ms. Ororo Munroe, this is Mr. Thor Odinson, codename Thunder."
"A pleasure to meet you, Mr. Odinson."
'…You have Darcy, Thor. You have Darcy.' I repeated to myself as I heard her speak, her voice both seductive yet composed and elegant as she gave me a soft smile and a nod which I returned with one of my own.
"It's a pleasure to meet you as well, Ms. Munroe."
"Ms. Monroe here formed part of a group of superheroes called the X-Men for most of her younger life until they disbanded in the early 2000's."
"Now, I am but a humble priestess to my people. At least, I was until these wajinga decided to come search for me." She said while nodding towards Coulson and the pilots, who seemingly looked confused as he rolled his eyes when he saw me smirk.
"We have apologized numerous times already, Ms. Munroe. We wish that you would not be needed, but unfortunately your help is quite needed in this situation."
"And my former comrade?" She asked as I sat down, hiding my shock at her words as Coulson shook his head.
"Unfortunately, Mr. Logan fell off the face of the planet again and will most likely be missing for another few decades at least. We believe that he will no longer be helping us during battles, especially after the whole situation with Jean Grey, Mr. Yoshida and the Summers brothers."
"If I may ask, what exactly is this situation we're talking about?" I asked and Coulson looked at me before I rolled my eyes as he smirked and began walking out of the jet.
"It is a bit personal, so I must unfortunately apologize."
"I understand completely, Ms. Munroe." I said and she gave a thankful nod before we looked at Coulson as he climbed off.
"I will be heading off to fetch the last of our team, but in the meantime, I shall leave you two to get acquainted on the journey to our headquarters."
'…You son of a bitch.' I thought with a frown as the jet's doors closed and having gotten used to the force of Mjolnir ripping me from the ground, I didn't even flinch when the jet took off while looking over at Storm to see her not struggling as well.
"Mr. Odinson, is the umbrella how you channel your mutant abilities?" She asked and I blinked before remembering the folded-up umbrella in my left hand as I chuckled and shook my head.
"I am not a mutant, Ms. Munroe, and this is not an umbrella. It is my enchanted hammer Mjolnir, but you are correct in your observation as I do use it to channel my abilities."
"Excuse me. Did you say…enchanted hammer?" She asked with a raised eyebrow and I hummed and nodded.
"That is correct. As the god of Thunder, Mjolnir is a weapon worthy of being at my side or should I say, I am worthy enough to wield it like the beautiful artifact it is." I spoke with a smile as I rubbed the handle of the hammer, chuckling as I felt sparks racing up my arm before looking up to see Ororo looking both amused and in slight awe.
"I have read and heard stories that the gods walk among us, but I see they are not just mere stories. Of course, Thor Odinson, god of Thunder of the Norse Mythology."
"That is correct, though I have to say Storm is quite the good nickname as well." I said and she simply smiled as she gave a light shrug.
"My friends suggested the name to me and since I was not the best with the English language when I first arrived in America, I trusted them and took the name as my own."
"Quite the tale. I would love to hear more of your heroics as well as those of your team." That wasn't even me trying to be flirting or anything of the sort.
Since this was the MCU and I didn't see the X-Men in any of the movies or series that I watched, which admittedly wasn't a lot after Endgame other than Loki and WandaVision, I would love to hear just how the X-Men tied into this universe.
"Only if I may hear your tales in exchange. I believe they might be as grand as the ones told in the mythology."
"Hahaha~ Over a cup of tea, then." I said with a hand held out and she smiled as she reached out and shook it, the two of us nodding before I relaxed back into my seat while taking a deep breath.
Now that the awkward and tense atmosphere was gone, all that was left was a calm yet jovial energy in the air as I closed my eyes.
Might as well get a quick nap in before I have to face my idiot of a brother…and make sure he has the thing I need.
The six Infinity Stones known also as the Infinity Gems.
Six immensely powerful gem-like objects, each tied to a different aspect of the universe that was spawned into existence by six different singularities during the Big Bang.
Each stone is said to possess nigh-infinite power and when all six are gathered together and used by one being, it is not a stretch to say that that person is the One Above All.
'Yeah, that is most definitely an Infinity Stone.'I thought with a frown as I stood in the middle of the landing bay, both Ororo and I watching as Loki was escorted off one of the larger jets along with a man in blue, red and white spandex with a large shield on his right arm, a man dressed in a very expensive looking suit and a woman dressed in a black skintight bodysuit.
Being carried by the Black Widow was a golden sceptre with a glowing blue gem at its tip and as I caught sight of it, my frown deepened slightly as I felt the cosmic energy radiating from it.
Oh, that's definitely an Infinity Stone.
"Who are they?" I heard Captain America ask Coulson as they stopped in front of us, but I let him speak as I stared directly at the look of dark amusement and hatred Loki gave me.
"Brother." I spoke, drawing their attention as Loki chuckled and shook his head.
"You are not my brother."
"Because Father told you of your true heritage? Is that why you're doing this?"
"Whoawhoawhoa! Wait! This…this guy….he's your brother?" Stark asked and I looked at him with a raised eyebrow while nodding.
"Adoptive brother, although I along with my mother and father do not see him as such."
"Ha! I see you've picked up the ability to lie during your time on Midgard, brother. Has the mannerisms of these peasants infected you, oh great god of Thunder?"
"No, I've simply begun to emulate what you love to do, brother." I spoke with a smirk and he rolled his eyes before I looked up right as Fury's voice spoke up.
"Nice family reunion here, but Loki is still our prisoner. You can speak to him when we're done."
"Do you hear that, brother? I am a prisoner."
"We both know you can leave whenever you wish, brother. What game are you playing here?" I asked, hoping that our little talk would be enough to at least let him tell me something, but I sighed as he smirked and gave a slight shrug.
"Who knows? We shall soon see."
"Okay, enough. Keep it moving." Coulson spoke up as he moved Loki away and I watched as the agent escorted him away along with a small group of agents before shaking my head as I looked at the others.
"Captain Steve Rogers." Steve spoke with a serious look as he held out a hand and I smiled and nodded back as I shook his hand.
"Thor Odinson."
"Pleasure to meet you. Ma'am." He spoke as he nodded towards Ororo, who nodded back with a terse nod while she looked around at the imposing form of the Heli-Carrier's landing bay.
To be truthful, I would be just as shocked as she was if I saw it for the first time, but thankfully, I saw the movies so it was not surprising to me.
"May I ask that you all accompany us to the cockpit? I believe Director Fury would wish to speak to everyone." Black Widow spoke and I was all for it as we followed her to the cockpit.
Time to see if I can't change the mind of my wayward brother.
"Hah, he really grows on you, doesn't he?" I heard Banner speak from the back, smirking amusedly at his words as I stood next to the table while watching as Fury walked away from a smirking Loki.
"He's stalling. Thor, what's his play?"
"What he's always wanted: war." I answered and they all frowned as Steve spoke up.
"With what army?"
"They're called the Chitauri, a group of bio-mechanical organisms that are all connected to a mother ship that acts as a hive mind. They're not of Asgard or any world and with how the mother ship can simply create more faster than you can destroy one, he means to lead them against your people."
"Why? What does he gain from this?" Ororo asked and I sighed as I shook my head.
"I do not know, but I fear that the Tesseract may be what they're after as Loki has made sure to hide it from all of us."
"Then we need to focus on getting that. Dr. Banner, how far are you on that front?" Steve asked as he turned to Bruce, who sighed as he scratched the back of his head.
"I'm doing my best, but there is one thing that boggles my mind. Loki tried to get iridium. What…what does he need it for?"
"It's a stabilizing agent." We all turned as Stark walked into the room and I watched as the two men spoke to each other in a language that I only understood because of the fact that not only did Thor take Thermonuclear Physics on Asgard, but also because of the fact that I watched the movies.
"I would not provoke Banner here on his friend." I spoke up after Tony spoke about Hulk, to which he raised an eyebrow at me as I smiled and pointed to the door behind them.
As it opened, Emil and Bruce stared at each other in shock as both Phil and Fury walked in after him, my pal walking down the steps while Tony decided to take a few steps back to not get caught in the crossfire.
"Banner."
"Blonsky. I see the radiation didn't kill you."
"Thanks to the Serum, I believe." Emil answered and Banner nodded before the two men looked at each other and Emil surprised Banner with a hand raised towards him.
"I would like to apologize for my behaviour the first time I met you. I believe that my mind was overtaken by jealousy and greed and the fact that I took both the Super Soldier Serum and infused it with your blood did not help at all."
"…Thank you." That was all Bruce said, but I suppose it would be enough as Bruce shook his hand and the two nodded at each other.
"Now that all bad blood has been washed away, Dr. Banner is only here to track the cube so I was hoping that you would join him in his efforts."
"Start with the sceptre. It might be magical, but it works an awful lot like a HYDRA weapon." I watched as they all began formulating plans, bored out of my mind as I wanted to just take the sceptre and rip out the stone, but if I wanted to the Space Stone as well as the Mind stone…
'One must unfortunately play the long game.' I thought with a sigh before smirking as Emil sat down to my left, Ororo simply giving the man a curious gaze as he looked back and nodded.
"How have you been since I last saw you, Emil?" I asked and he snorted as he leaned back and crossed his arms.
"Good so far. After your little challenge against him, he seems to be docile for now, but he's aching for your next fight."
"The fight is not for another week so he'll have to be patient, but that is not what I am referring to, friend. Did you have any maidens swooning over you or are you still celibate?"
"Considering that I might turn the moment I feel even the slightest bit of excitement or lust, I think I'm going to keep away from that stuff for now."
"Understandable. Ah, where are my manners? Ms. Munroe, this is Emil Blonsky, a close friend. Emil, this is Ms. Orore Munroe also known as Storm."
"Of the X-Men?" He asked with a surprised face, making me wonder just how much I really missed of this world as Orore nodded with a smile.
'First thing I'm doing is getting a history book to figure out what the hell is with this universe.'
"The very same."
"Huh, I really do have my craziest adventures when I'm with you, huh Thor?"
"I did promise you and Abomination not a single dull moment when you two are at my side. Now, I wonder why us three were brought here."
"I could tell you that when you stop talking." Fury spoke up and I looked at him before he let out a sigh as I grinned and sat up.
"Wonderful! What is our objective here, Agent Fury?"
"Director Fury and I need you three to patrol the Heli-Carrier and-!"
"I'm going to see if Loki would not like to talk." I spoke as I stood up, Emil just looking amused at my words while the others looked confused as Fury frowned with a narrowed gaze.
"Very well. You can go."
"…Emil, you wish to come with?"
"No, I've gotten enough of one god for the day."
"I shall come with." I was surprised to hear Storm say that as she stood up, watching as she waltzed past everyone without even giving them so much as a glance.
"…Very well. Let us depart then." I spoke with a smile as I opened the door wide, Storm giving me a thankful smile as she walked through before I let the door close behind me.
Time to see if my brother won't mind having a heart-to-heart.
A/N: Another short chapter and~ We got a new character~!
Storm is in the building and Wolverine might be too~! Emphasis on might.Still not sure there.
Don't worry, Storm isn't going to become a permanent member of the Avengers. She is simply here to help and to show Thor that the world is not what he thinks it is.
However, she is going to be a more important part of the story as it goes along. I just need to figure out how.
Like always, you can go to my Pat-reon-.-com-/-KingCrimsonNova to read ahead on this as well as many other stories & even some that haven't been released out to this site yet. If you want to, you are free to, but if you don't want, all's good as I will still be uploading here. This is just me trying to get some extra cash.
Anyways, as always, read, enjoy, review and until the next chapter...
Ba-Bye~!
