I watched on as Tony and Cap captured Loki, my eyes glancing at the chat room as Alt-Loki; The Loki of the chat, was speaking with Sam. Their conversation was incredibly interesting, ranging from advanced metaphysical science to magic itself.
As the Loki of this universe was man-handled like a little bitch I decided to break into the conversation and get some info from Alt-Loki.
Drecarios Frost- Hey Loki, got any info on whether you were mind controlled during the whole Chitauri Invasion incident?
Loki Odinson- Mmm, I was completely mind controlled by the Mind Stone. Ah, the Mind Stone is an infinity stone... You know what those are?
Drecarios Frost- I have an idea... I'm guessing the Tesseract is an infinity stone as well?
I had to keep up the lie that I didn't know. Having meta-knowledge was incredibly useful and that value was only maintained if I could keep everyone in the dark and use it as I saw fit. Don't get me wrong, all of the members of the chat were my friends, but I had to have hidden cards for a rainy day, or if any of them turn on me.
Loki Odinson- I'm impressed. Indeed the Tesseract is an Infinity Stone, in fact, it's the Space Stone
Drecarios Frost- So any chance the Loki in our universe is controlled?
Loki Odinson- Was he thrown over the edge of the Bifrost's bridge?
Drecarios Frost- Yes, that was stated in files that Shield gave us.
Loki Odinson- Then Thanos got to him. You'll need to get Thor to slam his head into the dirt as hard as he can... Maybe even get the Hulk to join in? Ah, Banner was rather reluctant back then though... Hmmm... Just hit him in the head real hard
Drecarios Frost- Wait! If Heimdal can see all, couldn't I just speak to him and get him to send Odin down or something?
Loki Odinson- Hahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahaha
Drecarios Frost- Did I say something wrong?
M. Sam Carter- I don't know... Oh, by the way, what is an Infinity Stone???
I left the chat at that stage and watched as Loki was carried onto the Quin-jet, his staff held by Tony as Cap roughly tossed the man down onto one of the seats. Tony looked over at his screen, catching up on the chat before looking towards me. I smirked and simply shook my head, heading over to the cockpit where Natasha; Nat, was closing the ramp and taking off again.
~~~
Ten minutes later we were travelling over the a German forest, the clouds in the distance darkening as the night slowly rose to completely swallow the day. Light throughout the Quin-Jet were blinking and lighting up as we all sat down in the back of the jet, Tony having taken to pacing every now and then, interspersed with moments of sitting-meditation.
"Doesn't this all feel too easy?" Cap's voice broke the quiet hum of the cabin, his eyes boring into Loki's form as the 'God' looked around innocently.
I turned towards the man and nodded. "Yes, I feel that something is coming that will give us a challenge though." Tony stood up to pace once more, his face plate down.
*CZZRACKOOM*
Lightning thundered from the sky in massive bolts as the jet shuddered. I heard Nat question where the storm came from as something hard dropped onto the roof of the jet. I stood up and created Metallic Hydrogen restraints around Loki that tightly wrapped around his upper body, lower body and arms. He wasn't using illusions either since my atomic sense could see through it in moments.
Loki flinched and began looking upwards in slight mortification. Cap turned to him, the sparkly-dressed man narrowing his eyes. "You scared of some lightning are you?" The god chuckled darkly before answering the question with a seriousness that the god of trickery often failed to maintain.
"I am not too fond of what follows, soldier." His words were proven true a moment later as the ramp at the back of the jet was ripped in half, a muscular arm bulging and tensing as another strip of metal was rent backwards.
"To be honest, I understand his trepidation..." My words were quickly forgotten in the moment as Thor stuck his leg in used it as leverage to pull his entire body through the carbon-steel.
"Give me my brother!" Arcs of lightning buzzed through the room and scorched several panels on the walls as his bright cerulean irises drilled into Rogers. Tony licked his lips and turned to Nat, who was trying to keep the bird flying with all the electric discharge that was cascading through the interior structure of the jet.
"Calm down Thor, we are not going to hurt your brother. I promise you that he will be in the custody of Asgard by the end of this, however, we must question him as to what he has done with the Tesseract." I stepped forwards with my hands forwards in a placative posture. From what I could understand of Alt-Loki and I's chats, Thor was reasonable and often listened to reason if they gave him a good reason and assuaged his worries.
"Whoever you are, I wish no harm to you or your people. I merely wish to bring Loki to Asgard." I sweat dropped at his stubbornness.
"Drecarios, a member of the Avengers. We are Earth's mightiest heroes... Regardless, if you could perhaps stay on this jet with us then you can interrogate him whilst ensuring we don't lose him?" The Norse god stared me down before inclining his head slightly, his electric eyes stabbing into Loki now.
Tony and Rogers calmed down seeing that the god of thunder had settled. It was a small alteration to the timeline but that was fine, things need to change, as long as I could maintain a general sense of timeline then it was fine. I repaired the ramp that Thor had treated like a wall in a Kool-Aid man commercial.
"I am officially nicknaming you Kool-Aid." I spoke into the silence, Tony laughing uproariously as I proclaimed the god's nickname. Thor was utterly confused but shrugged it off as a Midgardian thing. Both gods were having a heart-to-heart which ended with Loki sulking about his father and not being a part of his family. My eyes rolled as Loki continued on with his whole woe-is-me schtick.
Needless to say, the trip was rather long considering the emotional weight that the two brothers were throwing around. I knew it was useless until Loki got his head hit real hard, but that could come later when we had him in containment and we weren't up in the sky in a delicate piece of technology. Oh! And I was able to copy the entire structure of the Quin-Jet! Now I could copy these things endlessly if I wanted to.
~~~
Loki was grabbed by Thor as we landed on the Heli-Carrier, both gods worn out by the squabble they had persisted with since Loki brought up his actions on Jotunheim and how his actions weren't as bad as that. None of us 'Earthlings' really gave two shits about it and were all rushing off the ramp when we landed; Nat included as she vaulted out of her chair and proceeded to jog out.
Tony was slowly exiting with his mask down, the suit's legs and mechanism moving with liquid ease as the Metallic Hydrogen lined most of the suit's internals. The conductivity of the metal was simply absurd and allowed him to go crazy with the weaponry inside of the suit.
Shield personnel with assault rifles and tactical gear escorted Thor towards the detainment chamber built for the Hulk. Tony and I broke off towards the main bridge as Rogers and Nat followed up behind us, discussing how dramatic and exhausting Asgardian family drama was. Naturally their conversation led into family drama present on Earth and certain TV shows that broadcast a family's drama across the world all for housewives to 'ooo' and 'ahh' at.
"Hey Elsa, I got in." I hid my mirth in a devilish grin, slapping my left arm around his suited shoulder as we entered the bridge.
"Great, now we can see what they are truly up to." I hacked into his sit using Technopathy and copied every single design that popped up. From Tesseract weaponry to advanced spy-tech, everything was written down into my mental library. This also included advanced laser tech, complex computer programs and AI... Even information about the Darkhold; though it was limited and purely speculative.
Shield had a lot of pokers in the fire so to speak. It was so many in fact that they were stretched thin across the globe and struggling to keep up with all the chaotic awakenings of Mutants, Supers and Technological marvels. There was even some notes about Inhumans and a hacker named Skye; otherwise known as Quake or Daisy Johnson not that the file had those details jot down.
"You're doing your techno-thingy aren't you...?" Tony glared at me accusingly whilst I just shrugged nonchalantly, my smile growing wider as I broke into the finished designs for the Insight Carriers. Firewalls were so simple to break into when you had the ability to read every single line of code, comprehend its function and then target the weaknesses.
"No, why do you think i would do that?" He groaned and drew a hand across his face.
"Well, did you get anything that we couldn't?" I smirked.
"Yep, and I think Fury is not going to like what is inside Shield." Tony tilted his head in interest and then punched my shoulder.
"Spill."
"Nope!" I ran off as a repulsor was charged, I rounded the corner before it could be fired at me.
~~~
All of the Avengers sat down at the meeting table, Fury pacing at the the zenith of the triangular table. Thor was standing one one side, his silver armour gleaming as the sun blared through the massive semi-circular windows that surrounded the bridge. Cap was now in a white T-shirt and plain denim slacks, his blonde hair cropped to one side as he leaned back in his swivel chair, he was beside Nat who was sitting like a proper lady despite her risqué skin-tight uniform.
Meanwhile Tony and I were sat down next to each other, both of us rocking plain clothes though he went for a Black Sabbath shirt that had 'Iron Man' at the top. He was nothing, if not egotistical. I just had a simple undershirt on and a pair of black pants, my platinum blonde hair styled to imitate my sister's whilst having a masculine flair to it.
"Has he revealed anything about where he has placed the Tesseract?" Fury turned to face Thor.
"No, my brother will not speak on the matter. Instead he prefers to prattle endlessly about how he was wronged by our father and that he is destined for glorious purpose." The god scoffed in irritation as the master spy's face twitched.
"Romanov, is it possible you could get info from him?" He turned to Nat who blinked a few times and nodded.
"Yeah, it should be easy... Seems egotistical and mad enough to get a response from him." Thor grimaced and held back a growl of frustration, Loki was his brother and he disliked anyone speaking ill of him.
"Take care in how you speak, he is still my brother and a prince of Asgard." Nat flatly regarded the god of Thunder.
"He killed 80 people in less than three days." Thor stared her down before lowering his head.
"He was adopted..." Tony snickered softly beside me as everyone else deadpanned at the statement.
I spoke up now.
"I believe we should ask for assistance from Asgard to guard and assess Loki. Maybe if we could get some healers or something to have a look at him we would be able to see if this 'madness' is natural or manufactured." Tony looked towards me before nodding as well, speaking his own thoughts a second after I finished.
"Yeah get the man a shrink, I think he's got a few screws loose in the old caboose." Cap chuckled at the playboy's attempt at using old slang, his face turning placid a moment later as everyone looked towards him.
Fury stared us both down before nodding in acquiescence. "Fine, Thor do you believe your people could help us keep Loki imprisoned as we try to find the Tesseract?" The god grinned and looked up to the ceiling.
"Heimdal, I request the aid of my mother and the Seidr." Nothing happened after he spoke and the rest of us all just glanced around the room.
We were all just about to say something when a deep resounding boom struck the top of the carrier. "That will be Heimdal now. Knowing him he has been listening in and summoning aid for us if we should need it." I grinned at how prepared this version of Heimdal was in comparison to the MCU version.
