Ultron kills Strucker.

Day 8 (Thursday), April 9th or 16th:

3:30 - 5:40 pm - the Avengers learn of Strucker's death and finally track down Ultron, which leads them to Ulysses Klaue.

Note: It's always Thursday on computers in this movie. It's highly doubtful that this is true for all of them, and is most likely just a result of the laziness of whoever was in charge of the screens. I'll accept this as true for the first appearance only, since it also makes sense for the number of days that have passed.

Rhodey heads to the Middle East. Tony updates War Machine's encryption against Ultron's cyber attacks.

Night in NY - Natasha wakes up in the castle. Ultron creates a new body out of vibranium. Tony and Bruce work on Vision. Clint connects with Nat.

Note: on this computer screen it's Thursday (again) and 3:28 PM, which obviously doesn't match the time in the movie. It's night there, so we have to ignore this unreliable evidence for both the day of the week and the time.

The birth of Vision.

The Avengers prepare to battle Ultron. Tony chooses FRIDAY as his new main AI.

Note: babies usually start giggling around 4 months of age. At the time of the main events, he was about 2 months away from being born, then add about 4 months to that Compound scene.

September 2015:

The new team has been assembled, now including Wanda, Rhodey, Sam and Vision.

Fury, Hill, Cho and Selvig work at the Avengers Compound.

After making sure that the team is assembled, the Compound is built and everything is ok, Tony tries to retire. Again.

Thor goes to investigate the situation with the Infinity Stones.

Note: I take it the makeup artists thought this scene took place right after the Battle of Sokovia? That's why Thor still has scratches on his face. But as practice shows, children are not born and do not grow up so quickly (see the previous note), so we will have to accept the fact that Thor has already managed to fight with someone again.

Forever - Clint Barton lives.

Stellan Skarsgård

Physique: Average Build Height: 6’ 3" (1.91 m)

Stellan John Skarsgård (born 13 June 1951) is a Swedish actor. He is known for his collaborations with director Lars von Trier, appearing in Breaking the Waves (1996), Dancer in the Dark (2000), Dogville (2003), Melancholia (2011), and Nymphomaniac (2013). Skarsgård has since starred in various blockbusters such as Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006) and Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007). He also starred in Mamma Mia! (2008), Angels and Demons (2009), and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (2011). He played Dr. Erik Selvig in five Marvel Cinematic Universe films, starting with Thor (2011), and portrayed Baron Harkonnen in Denis Villeneuve's two-part Dune adaptation, Dune (2021) and Dune: Part Two (2024).

You’d think I’d already be into Stellan with how many things I’ve seen him naked in and there's a lot. And surprisingly the one that put him over the edge with is a movie where he didn’t appear naked in, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. Wait, was it Thor: The Dark World? Well it was one of those two.

Skarsgård was born in Gothenburg, he moved often in his childhood and lived, amongst other places, in Helsingborg, Totebo, Kalmar, Marielund, and Uppsala. Skarsgård started his acting career early; and, by the age of 21, his experience in film, TV and stage was considerable. Most of his early roles were in Swedish television (such as Bombi Bitt) and films.

Twice married, with his first wife, they had six children together. Alexander, Gustaf, Bill, and Valter are also actors, while Eija was a model for a few years. His second marriage to Irish screenwriter and producer Megan Everett in January 2009 produced two sons. Because of this, Skarsgård had a vasectomy because he felt that eight children was enough. Well Mr. Skarsgård… if you were fucking me, you wouldn't have that problem.

Use Me (Loki Love Story) Ch.19

Summary: Loki shows up at your brothel with an offer. What could go wrong?

Requested song inspiration: Use Me by Johnny Blue Skies & Dove Cameron & Diplo

A year..

A year was all it took to get to where you were today.. and you still couldn’t believe you made it..

Midgard was truly different that you expected. Much of the books on Asgard didn’t quite cover the details of how hard life here would be. People were cruel, disgusting.. perverted. Everything you needed, you had to figure out on your own. Fight and work. As a woman, you looked quickly just how different the world saw you. Yet that never stopped you from doing what you intended on doing.

Starting a new life.

Through the hardships, it was still the perfect distraction that you needed to try to forget your past. To forget Loki.. and on those quiet nights, you’d cry again.

You found quickly that Midgardians weren’t stupid when it came to the outside world of their own realm, you supposed it was thanks to Thor for introducing them to the capabilities and possibilities. You didn’t dare tell people you were Asgardian though, you knew it would have to be a secret in order to keep your old home safe.

Familiarity was a welcome though and you stumbled upon a group called SHIELD whom recognized how much stronger you were compared to the average female of their planet. Stopping a group called Hydra had been the perfect introduction one day when you jumped into combat when one of the SHIELD agents was about to be shot at.

The rest was history you supposed, and they offered a position in which you literally couldn’t refuse. They had the tesseract, one of the realm’s powerful infinity stones and although you portrayed a mortal, you knew you had to keep an eye on it for Asgard’s sake. So you worked for them now, SHIELD, keeping a close eye on the blue orb and told yourself to do what was necessary if they decided to take advantage of its power.

It would seem they were just trying to study it, and by the way it sparked, told you enough that you all were in potential danger. Especially already finding yourself deep underground at home base and you suddenly felt the sudden urge of claustrophobia with how much energy you could feel radiating in the room. It made your skin tight uniform feel tighter than it actually was.

You stayed behind some of the computers in the back of the room while the other agents monitored its activity. Dr Selvig, one of the mortals who had helped Thor, scared you with how much he knew about the outside world. You never found it impressive, you always assumed everything was a potential threat and hated yourself sometimes by pretending to be friends with these people.

Quite frankly, you could care less if it wasn’t for the benefit of keeping an eye on things.. except Phil..

Phil almost was like a father to you, took you in and recognized your talents of knowledge and strength, though you were sure he hadn’t figured you out as an Asgardian. You preferred it that was and would cause small slip ups just to keep him off your trail before you would turn your attention back to more important matters.

Right now he was on the higher levels, preparing for possible evacuation the more people messed with the tesseract. At least they had put it in some sort of contraption rather than touch the bloody thing directly. Flinching again, it sparked more and raised the attention of Director Fury who joined Erik’s side to see what was going on.

You resisted the urge to roll your eyes, knowing exactly what was going on but speaking up would cause to much suspicion. ‘you’re messing with forces beyond you, angering It to the point where digging it up might turn out to be a regret’ was what you thought while you glanced at the computers again. You weren’t to tech savvy- to be honest, you were here normally just for backup, undercover but truly the muscle of the operation encase it was needed.

Except Baron.

His skills as a mortal truly impressed you to the point where you questioned if he was a mortal at all. you glanced behind your shoulder while conversations were being held, seeing how he was making his way down from practically the rafters.

‘’got bored up there?” you teased, earning a chuckle while he glanced at you.

‘’figured there was more action happening over here, I’d hate the miss it.’’

You couldn’t help but smile with the friendly banter between you both before he moved to join the head haunches in front. If Clint was calm, you normally knew things were okay.

But you’ve been wrong before.

The tesseract seemed to spark more, drawing everyone’s attention to it while some took careful steps back. Your brows furrowed, feeling it’s energy practically screaming while you tried to figure out what was happening. In all your years, you’ve never seen an infinity stone this active before while no one had been touching it..

‘’sir- I think you might want to take a step-‘’

You nearly jumped out of your skin while suddenly the tesseract spat out a beam towards the opposite side of the room- thankfully not facing all of you. Your eyes widened, following your own advice by taking a step back while your body seemed to be in awe at the sight you had never seen before. The orb seemed to be spreading out amongst the platform, taking a ‘O’ shape while you squinted to try to figure out what it was.

Space..

Your eyes widened with recognition, having been so long since you’ve seen the galactic sky, you almost found yourself stepping towards it while your lips parted with no words. There was almost a familiar feeling that washed over you, something you had hoped to have forgotten but it forced it over your mind and body. Home.. Asgard.. although you couldn’t see beyond the darkness and stars that provided its light amongst its distant colors, there was something now taking shape just onto the platform.

Before you could try to recognize it, the portal suddenly shut with a forceful snap, causing all of you to turn or raise an arm instinctually to shield yourself from its waves of energy that faded off amongst the room. Your eyes quickly moved to the tesseract, body relaxing to find it safe and quiet while the computers made quiet sounds to indicating they were rebooting up.

There was a figure left on the platform, ice and smoke from it’s body warming up, making him seem like he had just stepped out of the fridge. The mental image was almost fully if the stranger hadn’t begun rising from its kneeling position. The movements of the other agents made you instinctually place a hand on your gun by your side while you leaned forward to make out what you were seeing.

No.. oh gods.. it’s impossible..

You slowly moved yourself behind the computer, heart racing while you felt like you couldn’t breath. This was impossible.. there was no way that was who you thought it was.. you stayed out of sight, your fingers gripping the edge of the computer table on rollers while you shook and tried to concentrate on your breathing.

‘’sir- please, put down the spear..’’

Fury’s voice rang out and your body tensed. Loki was armed.. these people weren’t a threat as long as you cooperated- however he got here, he must be so confused.. your eyes widened and felt your body come to life again. You knew you couldn’t let Loki hurt these people out of instinct, very little times did any Asgardian ever venture out on Midgard, let alone with a weapon so if he did so happen to have a spear, it would raise danger.

Taking a small step out from behind the computer, your hand rested on your own weapon while you drew in a breath ‘’don’t-‘’

Suddenly Loki moved fast and sent a blast in your general direction, causing you to quickly dive towards the nearest agent and take cover before all Hel went loose. You used your hands to cover your ears when the sounds of gun shots, screams and crashing all around filled the room. You army crawled it towards one of your comrades, heart pounding against the floor while you stayed on your bells and reached over, checking for a pulse.

He’s still alive..

Tensing your body, you focused your eyes and drew your gun, getting to your feet before you took aim, eyes searching for Loki with shaky hands. Suddenly a man’s body got flung at you, making you get thrown backwards as well so you both hit the wall, your head taking on most of the impact.

You yelped, sliding down with the maybe dead man across your lap on the floor. Your vison blurred, silence filing the room while you blinked to try to clear your vision. Your head throbbed, making you reach a hand to apply pressure while you winced and tried to stir. There was muffled sounds, blurry shapes of movement while the color blue seemed to dance in spots before you.

Fuck..

You slowly blinked, feeling the gun slip limp from your hands before your eyes closed and slumped down where you were. You were slipping out of unconsciousness, hearing whispers and deep, muffled sounds, much like when a grenade goes off in movies. You felt a cold hand rest at your chin, turning your face up in a gentle grip while your eyes remained closed and your body began to abandon you.

The weight of the man on you was quickly removed and the hand at your chin vanished, making your head fall back to your side where it promised a kink later.

‘’bring her..’’

Note: TBH i was debating on ending this book at the previous chapter LOL but i promised a happy ending. I'm not to keen on following movies such as this chapter, hope it wasn't to boring for you- it was just something to bring the characters back together so we can continue their relationship LOL plot now can get started!

Steve and I walked onto the bridge. Three people stood out, with no sign of Tony.

"I see you found the runaway," the red-haired woman spoke.

"They weren't too far off. Only the other side of the plane." Steve replied, an air of laughter in his voice

"Well, it wasn't intentional," I said, perhaps a bit too defensively.

"At least I'm not the only one getting lost." A brunette man commented.

"Guess not. Oh- I'm Mr. Stark's secretary, Mx. Eirsson, Kyrie Eirsson."

"Eir? So you are a healer, no?" The tall blonde said expectantly.

"No, not really." I'm starting this off with a lie, lovely.

"Ledan Eirsson, I am Thor, son of Odin, Prince of Asgard." He extended his hand, a warm smile on his face.

"Prince...?" I worriedly glanced at Steve.

I looked back when Prince Sunshine over there started laughing, "Yes, although I would prefer if you called me Thor, just Thor."

"Pleasure to meet you, Thor."

Steve placed a hand on my shoulder, "That's Natasha," he gestured to the redhead which she promptly responded to with a curt smile, "she doesn't talk much."

And then there was one. He didn't notice until Natasha nudged him in the side.

"Oh, um. I'm Dr. Banner."

"Pleasure to meet'cha, Doc." A sound came from under the table, Steve quickly found a tablet with what seemed to be live footage from Loki's cage.

By the time I heard the first comprehendible piece of what Fury was saying my attention was grabbed by the hatch underneath Loki's cage being opened.

"Thirty-thousand feet down in a steel trap. You get how that works?" Fury closes the hatch with a press of a button on the control panel.

Fury outstretched his arm, gesturing to Loki, "Ant," then pointing to the control panel, "boot."

Loki smirked, "It's an impressive cage." he looked into the camera, "Not built, I think, for me."

"Built for something a lot stronger than you."

"Oh, I've heard."

The doctor seemed very tense, for what reason- I didn't know.

"The mindless beast, makes play he's still a man." Loki sauntered towards the camera, "How desperate are you that you call upon such lost creatures to defend you?"

“How desperate am I?” Fury set a hand on his hip, agitation growing in his voice, “You threaten my world with war. You steal a force you can’t hope to control. You talk about peace and you kill ‘cause it’s fun. You have made me very desperate. You might not be glad that you did.”

“Ooh. It burns you to come so close.” Loki began taunting Fury, “To have the Tesseract, to have power, unlimited power.” Loki smirked into the camera, “And for what? A warm light for all mankind to share, and then to be reminded what real power is.”

Fury forced a smile, “Well, let me know if ‘Real Power’ wants a magazine or something.”

Our room falls into an uncomfortable silence.

Fury walked away saying, “Well, let me know if ‘Real Power’ wants a magazine or something.”

“He really grows on you, doesn’t he?”

"Loki's gonna drag this out. So, Thor, what’s his play?”

Thor seemed distant as he responded, “He has an army called the Chitauri. They are not of Asgard or of any world known.” The Prince walked back to the table, “He means to lead them against your people. They will win him the earth. In return, I suspect for the Tesseract.”

“An army? From outer space?” Steve seemed to question what the fuck he’d been dragged into.

“He’s building another portal. That’s what he needs Erik Selvig for.”

Erik who?

“Selvig?” Why does Thor recognize this guy's name?

“He’s an astrophysicist.” The doctor explained.

“He’s a friend.” Thor asserted.

“Loki has him under some kind of spell, ”Natasha looked away, “along with one of ours.”

She really does speak. More importantly, she’s familiar with the agent Loki brainwashed.

“I wanna know why Loki let us take him.”

“I don't think we should be focusing on Loki. That guy's brain is a bag full of cats, you could smell crazy on him.” Banner was pushing it.

“Have care how you speak.” Thor said, anger rising in his voice, “Loki is beyond reason, but he is of Asgard, and he's my brother.”

So the Prince is a himbo with a temper, good to know.

“He killed eighty people in two days.” Oh.

“...He's adopted.” Ah, yes. That changes everything.

“Does he pose any threat? Just because he’s in a cage doesn’t mean he’s harmless.” I didn’t know if I’d just asked a dumbass question but it’s better to ask than have that as an unknown variable.

“No. There’s no way out from the inside, besides that, it’s built to withstand more than he can throw at it.” Natasha answered, seemingly knowing more than the rest.

“Iridium, what did they need Iridium for?”

Tony walked in, “It’s a stabilizing agent. Oh, Kyrie, been lookin’ for ‘ya.”

“Hey, Tony. Coulson?!” I got up and walked over to them, a beaming smile plastered on my face, “I had no idea you’d be here!”

Phil placed a hand on my shoulder, “I would have let you know if I had a way to contact you.”

“Guess I’m chopped liver.” Tony feigned hurt, before whispering the next bit, “Anyways, I’ll fly you there. Keep the love alive.” He spoke at full volume again, “Means the portal won't collapse on itself, like it did at SHIELD. No hard feelings, Point Break. You've got a mean swing. Also, it means the portal can open as wide, and stay open as long, as Loki wants.”

Tony walked over to what I can assume is Fury’s position on the Bridge, “Uh, raise the mid-mast, ship the topsails.” The crew looked at Tony like he’d grown a second head, “That man is playing GALAGA! Thought we wouldn't notice. But we did.” Tony covered one eye and looked around, “How does Fury do this?”

“He turns.” A female agent responded.

I looked at Phil, a light whisper escaping my lips, “Who is she?”

He leaned in, “That’s Agent Hill, sh’s Fury’s right hand.”

“Mhm… thank you.” I gave him a small smile.

Coulson grinned in response, “Never a problem.”

“Well, that sounds exhausting,” Tony said in the most annoying voice he could get away with. “Agent Barton can get his hands on pretty much easily. Only major component he still needs is a power source. A high energy density, something to kick start the cube.”

Agent Hill spoke again, “When did you become an expert in thermonuclear astrophysics?”

“Last night.” That I could attest to, “The packet, Selvig's notes, the Extraction Theory papers.” It’s always funny when Tony speaks seriously, most of the time I forget he’s a genius, “Am I the only one who did the reading?”

“No, you made me read them too.” I said with a pointed tone.

“Anyone else?” Tony said practically ignoring my comment.

“Does Loki need any particular kind of power source?”

“He's got to heat the cube to a hundred and twenty million Kelvin just to break through the Coulomb barrier.“

Ah, yes, words.

“Unless, Selvig has figured out how to stabilize the quantum tunneling effect.”

“Well, if he could do that he could achieve Heavy Ion Fusion at any reactor on the planet.”

Wow, those two were made for each other.

“Finally, someone who speaks English.”

Steve looked around, “Is that what happened?”

Tony and the doctor shook hands, “It's good to meet you, Dr. Banner. Your work on anti-electron collisions is unparalleled. And I'm a huge fan of the way you lose control and turn into an enormous green rage monster.”

Banner looked down, “Thanks.”

“Dr. Banner is only here to track the cube. I was hoping you might join him.” Fury says as he walks in.

“Let's start with that stick of his. It may be magical, but it works an awful lot like a HYDRA weapon.” Steve had an obvious bias and curiosity.

“I don't know about that, but it is powered by the cube. And I'd like to know how Loki used it to turn two of the sharpest men I know into his personal flying monkeys.”

“Monkeys? I do not understand-”

“-I do. I understood that reference.” Thor was cut off by Steve, obviously excited by the fact he understood some of our jargon.

“Shall we play, Doctor?” Tony asked.

“Let’s play some.” Banner responded.

After I waved to Phil I followed Tony and the doctor out of the bridge, hoping to not get lost again.

I had been sitting in a spare chair in the “Science Bro’s” lab for what felt like an eternity. Man, I regret not taking advanced science courses in uni.

“The gamma readings are definitely consistent with Selvig's reports on the Tesseract. But it's gonna take weeks to process.” Bruce, as I had learned, said.

“If we bypass their mainframe and direct a reroute to the Homer cluster, we can clock this around six hundred teraflops.” Tony replied.

The two of them had gotten into a groove. The sounds of the machines whirring in the background made great background noise, so I couldn’t really complain.

“All I packed was a toothbrush.”

“You know, you should come by Stark Towers sometime. Top ten floors, all R&D. You'd love it, it's candy land.”

“Thanks, but the last time I was in New York I kind of broke...Harlem.”

“Well, I promise a stress-free environment. No tension. No surprises.” Tony said as he poked Bruce with a mini-taser.

“OW!!”

Tony studied Bruce for a reaction, “Nothing?”

Steve walked in, “Hey! Are you nuts?”

Tony ignored Steve,” You really have got a lid on it, haven't you? What's your secret? Mellow jazz? Bongo drums? Huge bag of weed?”

“Is everything a joke to you?”

“Funny things are.”

“Threatening the safety of everyone on this ship isn't funny.” OH, HE DID NOT, “No offense, doctor.”

“No, it's alright. I wouldn't have come aboard if I couldn't handle pointy things.” God bless Dr. Bruce Banner.

“You're tiptoeing, big man. You need to strut.”

“As someone who used to work with far more dangerous people, and teach them too. I concur.”

“Kyrie?” Steve sounded surprised, “And you need to focus on the problem, Mr. Stark.”

“You think I'm not?” Tony pulled out a bag of blueberries from god knows where. “Why did Fury call us and why now? Why not before? What isn't he telling us? I can't do the equation unless I have all the variables.”

“You think Fury's hiding something?”

“He's a spy. Captain, he's the spy. His secrets have secrets. It's bugging him too, isn't it?”

“Can’t argue with Tony this time.”

“Uh...I just wanna finish my work here and…” Bruce fell silent.

“Doctor?”

“‘A warm light for all mankind’ Loki’s jab at Fury about the cube.”

“I heard it.”

“Well, I think that was meant for you. Even if Barton didn't post that all over the news.”

“The Stark Tower? That big ugly,” Tony shoots Steve a glare, “...building in New York?”

“It's powered by Stark Reactors, a self-sustaining energy source. That building will run itself for what, a year?” Bruce turned to Tony.

“That's just the prototype. I'm kind of the only name in clean energy right now.”

Bruce looked back at Steve while pointing to Tony, “So, why didn't SHIELD bring him in on the Tesseract project? I mean, what are they doing in the energy business in the first place?”

“I should probably look into that once my decryption programmer finishes breaking into all of SHIELD's secure files,” Tony mentions offhandedly.

Steve looked shocked, “I'm sorry, did you say...?”

I let out a breathy laugh, “Yup, it’s at least a weekly occurrence.”

“Jarvis has been running it since I hit the bridge. In a few hours we'll know every dirty secret SHIELD has ever tried to hide. Blueberry?”

“Yet you're confused about why they didn't want you around?”

“Oh, no. He’s fully aware, he just finds it funny.”

“An intelligence organization that fears intelligence? Historically, not awesome.”

“I think Loki's trying to wind us up. This is a man who means to start a war, and if don't stay focused, he'll succeed. We have orders, we should follow them.”

“Following is not really my style.” Tony ate a mouthful of blueberries.

“And you're all about style, aren't you?” Steve said, smiling.

“Of the people in this room, which one is; A. wearing a spangly outfit, and B. not of use?” Tony retorted.

“Steve, tell me none of this smells a little funky to you?” Banner tried to push Steve to think.

“Just find the cube.” Steve said before he walked out.

“Well, that went splendidly.” I laughed from my seat. The benefits of being a third party.

“That's the guy my dad never shut up about? Wondering if they shouldn't have kept him on ice.” Tony looked over at me only to be met with a glare.

“The guy's not wrong about Loki. He does have the jump on us.”

“What he’s got is an ACME dynamite kit. It's gonna blow up in his face, and I'm gonna be there when it does.”

“And I’ll read all about it.”

“Uh-uh. You’ll be suiting up like the rest of us.”

“Ah, see. I don't get a suit of armor. I'm exposed, like a nerve. It's a nightmare.”

“You know, I've got a cluster of shrapnel, trying every second to crawl its way into my heart.”

“And I knew a kid who could turn himself into a nuke.” Both of the men in the room looked at me, confusion written all over their faces.

“O-kay? Moving on. But you can control it.”

“Because I learned how.”

“It's different.”

“It doesn’t have to be. Not forever at least.” I tried to add, though they seemed to be stuck in their own world again.

“Hey, I've read all about your accident. That much gamma exposure should have killed you.”

“So you're saying that the Hulk... the other guy... saved my life? That's nice. It's a nice sentiment. Saved it for what?”

A moment passed, “I guess we’ll find out.”

“You might not like that.” Banner sounded scared, scared of himself and scared of whoever the ‘other guy’ was.

“You just might.” I trained Tony well.

Darcy Lewis, Intern (to Dr Jane Forster & Dr Erik Selvig)

(moodboard) Part 2

[americasass81]

Bloody hell, this is so good. I'm just totally loving the build up so far and the vibe ... I mean what is Thor's problem? This can't simply be just a slight over our reader's attitude to Jane's work, right? No, he definitely seems unhinged and I can't wait to see where that leads.

But what about our reader? I can't quite put my finger on it but there's definitely something I like about her. Maybe it's the I'll wear what I want despite the dress code attitude. Maybe it's the passive aggressive, daddy issues problem. Or just maybe, it's that temper simmering just beneath the surface. Can't wait to see if catch some more glimpses of that.😄. Either way this already has me hooked.

Dark! Doctor Thor x Female Reader

Warnings: World building, eventually dead dove (do not eat), bullying, stalking, language.

Summary | After a devastating break up, your job is the only thing that keeps you focused until your boss' acquaintance seems to know more about your personal life than you ever realized.

On second thought, it probably was a bad idea to come straight from the lab to the most coveted members-only social club, the one and only Tempest, where the introductory fee is more than half your yearly salary.

Fleeting but judgmental stares confirm your insecurity with your choice of outfit: a pair of wide-leg black gaucho pants, black Doc Martens and a black and white striped shirt loudly advertises that you don’t follow the dress code.

Not that it matters, considering Dr. Selvig is a member of this club and has been since his college days. Membership was practically a birthright in his family.

Which is precisely why the man at the door greets you with a tight-lipped smile when he opens the door, saying nothing with a look of steely disdain. If you cared enough, it probably would have spurred you to change clothes, but you’ve been dedicated to your latest project and the good doctor would not take no for an answer, reminding you that you were his plus one for social hour.

The importance of this invitation was not overlooked. Not when his prized associate Dr. Jane Foster was back from her residency in Barcelona, the guest of honor to whom Dr. Selvig was celebrating.

Feeling a faint wash of guilt at your tardiness, you’re aware of how this could be perceived as a slight, climbing up the steps two at a time to make up for lost time. While most would chalk it up to jealousy with your lateness if they had been so inclined to read your thesis, your argument against Dr. Jane Foster’s idea of the interstellar medium could go much deeper than prior realization with your stellar evolution work. Defending your thesis had not been easy but Dr. Selvig had taken note and taken you under his wing once Darcy Lewis had vacated the role to be Jane’s assistant.

Your name rolls off a slurred tongue somewhere in the crowded space, loud enough for you to hear but lost in the sea of faces before you see Dr. Selvig wave you over to the table. Treated like you’re invisible by the throngs of people who refuse to give you space, moving through the crowd is almost an impossible feat, nearly having to push your way through, all manners out of the window for the time being until you arrive at your destination.

Jane Foster gives you a polite smile, sipping her glass of wine when Dr. Selvig clamps a hand down on your shoulder, giving it a small squeeze in his own fatherly way of approval. Jane looks effortlessly chic in a little black dress and heels, the outfit carefully tailored to fit her body. She looks expensive, the glint of her tennis bracelet twinkling under the lights.

Slight embarrassment ripples through you at how you must look in contrast to the well put together doctor, the immediate agitation cooling after reminding yourself that you are present because of Dr. Selvig.

“Took you long enough,” Dr. Selvig says with a happy grin. “Jane, this is my research assistant I was telling you all about.”

Jane extends her hand, your gaze pulling away from her momentarily at the man at her side. 

He’s tall, blond haired, bright blue eyes under glasses adorning his handsome face. You feel as if you’ve seen him before. Perhaps in some magazine or some other place, his statuesque form is on display under a navy sports coat, khaki pants and white shirt, showing a hint of tanned skin from the two top undone buttons on his linen shirt. 

“Pleasure to meet you,” you reply, shaking her hand, seeing Jane smile up at Thor. 

“And this is my boyfriend -”

“Doctor Thor Odinson,” the man interrupts, not extending his hand, simply nodding in your direction.

It feels dismissive, the way he finishes his drink, looking away from you to wave to somewhere else across the room. This is a playground for the wealthy and famous, something of which you are neither.

Jane is called over by a small group of women huddled at a table, profusely apologizing before disappearing, leaving you with Dr. Selvig and Dr. Odinson.

“So,” Dr. Odinson begins, placing his drink down. “I have to ask, Erik. Where do you find your research assistants?”

“Where I find all of them,” Dr. Selvig replies, taking another swig of his beer, giving you a kind smile to ease your mounting anxiety. “In the libraries, hard at work, ready to discover the world and beyond.”

“Does that include writing a thesis that tears down a world-renowned scientist for her work?” he asks Dr Selvig, a look of confusion coloring his rapidly reddening face at Dr. Odinson’s question. “Or the avant garde dress code that she’s imposed on us?”

His comment, spoken so casually, makes you strain to hear him under the loud jazz music to make sure you understand what he is saying. You’re aware of the words he spoke, hoping he’ll repeat them so that you can put him in his place, doctor or not.

“My thesis?” you question, Dr. Odinson still not sparing you a glance.

“That’s putting it lightly,” he continues, his focus on Selvig, who downs the last of his beer. “I suppose anything will pass for a thesis these days, am I right?”

“I thought her thesis was sound,” Dr. Selvig responds, his jaw tightening at the slight. “She presented her arguments without malice, only facts. Jane agreed it was a strong, compelling argument.”

“We must have read two very different versions. Some of those citations were interesting.”

“Stellar evolution was the basis of my thesis, adding onto Dr. Foster’s work that interstellar medium gives way to more conversation on how stellar evolution comes to pass,” you argue, Dr. Selvig shooting you a careful glance, as if to try to soothe your impending temper.

“As I mentioned, Erik,” Dr. Odinson says, ignoring your glare. “I have a few names I could pass along when you inevitably become disappointed.”

“He isn’t disappointed with my work.”

The denial comes out much more passionate than you mean it to, unsure of why this man is getting under your skin. It could be a number of ways. The way he doesn’t give you the respect of looking in your direction, how he casually sips his drink while insulting you and actively ignoring the way you are trying to defend yourself.

Of course, it’s done in the usual way you are used to – being invisible and visible at the same time, a nuisance that is only temporary, not worth the effort or energy, like an insect bite that only is a cause for an itch if noticed.

“You may not have liked my thesis, but I stand by my work and so does Dr. Selvig. I’m sorry that you can’t indulge in a conversation like a civil human being. Have a good night, Dr. Selvig, I’ll see you tomorrow morning,” you say in farewell, adjusting your thin black purse over your shoulder, turning on your heels to leave.

Out of earshot, Dr Selvig narrows his eyes at Thor.

“I’m going to get another beer,” he says coldly. “Perhaps you can keep Jane company for the rest of the night. Maybe her manners will rub off on you..”

Thor downs the last of his drink, rolling his shoulders before taking his leave, Jane in his sights.

“Have a good night, Dr. Selvig. Enjoy the rest of your night.”

-

The lights in your apartment go out one by one, Thor looking up from the open window of the idling car. His driver knows better than to ask questions, his eyes studying the building for a moment.

Not bad on a research assistant’s salary.

Jane had been adamant that she hadn’t taken your thesis the wrong way, both her and Selvig coming to your defense once you had unceremoniously exited the upscale member’s only club, probably your first and last visit to such an establishment.

There is something about you, something that sparked a nonsensical thought to spark and grow roots in his mind to follow you. Mouthy little thing as you were, there was a sense of towing the line of when you were trying to control your temper that you almost went over, your bravado tempered by Erik’s gaze, a father figure in a sense to keep you on the straight and narrow.

Burning curiosity simmers under the surface of Thor’s famed calm and collected persona, to extinguish whatever little spark you had ignited in front of Selvig and him. He pauses for a moment, looking up at the darkened windows.

You have no idea he could diminish your fire to the rest of the world, cover and keep it for his own amusement as his preferred choice. He particularly liked the way your eyes had darkened when he had spoken to Selvig and not even looked at you. Your professional demeanor had dissolved when your boundary had been crossed. It urges him to want to push and pull, snap the elasticity of your attitude to see how quickly you could bounce back.

If at all.

With a simple click of a button, the lowered window begins to rise, effectively ending his detour. The thick voice gets his attention, so deep in his thoughts of what you could be dreaming about that he hadn’t heard his driver trying to talk to him.

“Where to, Sir?”

“To Jane,” Thor answers through the intercom. “Thank you, Volstagg.”

-

It’s unfortunate that you don’t do a better job of hiding your social media, Thor thinks with a sarcastic smile, focusing on your profile picture. It isn’t that you’re trying to hide it, this much he is aware but there’s something naïve about putting in intimate details of your life that anyone can have access to. The little details that you didn’t think would track you down leads him to your alma mater, your LinkedIn, a bevy of photos of you during college by your friends who have their profiles public, open for anyone to see.

A few more clicks and he knows your parents, their names, where they work and what cities they live in. He knew you were a long way from home but to find the exact city was easier than he thought. He had suspected the daddy issues, of course, clicking through your profile to find only cheerful mentions of Mother’s Day to your mother and a passive aggressive meme posted on Father’s Day.

Inconsequential things of course, nothing that would ever hold you back from pursuing an illustrious career. Still, Thor focuses on a picture of you that you carefully posted, bedroom eyes and a slight mischievous smile. He can’t get your gaze out of his head for a moment, clicking to the next picture, one with your family cat, placing an innocent kiss on the top of its head, the next picture of you and your mother, taken recently with Erik at the lab, no doubt showing off your work.

The next picture makes his eyes narrow.

A simple red heart as a caption, sitting atop a man’s lap who has his arm around your waist. He hums in disapproval, opening another tab to search the name that comes to mind.

Tristan Laurent, the only son from a prominent barrister family, namely the exalted son of Martin Laurent. 

Undoubtedly the biggest donor to Selvig and Jane’s work.

“Smart girl, hitching yourself to such a strong family,” Thor murmurs to himself. 

“Thor?”

Jane’s sleepy voice causes him to move his work to the center of the screen, hiding his research from her as Jane’s arms wrap around his shoulder, her mouth grazing against the top of his head, lingering enough so that he can still smell the hint of her body wash.

“It’s so late,” she reminds him. “Come to bed, okay?”

“Almost done. Give me five minutes.”

Giving him a sleepy smile, she heads back into their shared bedroom, Thor minimizing the browser until there is a picture of you posing for the camera in a black cut out one piece.

He’ll delete it later when he feels compelled to. For now, the rest of his browsing will have to wait.

Not that he isn’t in a hurry, you haven’t changed your passwords in years.

Part 2

Wanda and pietro stare at the older sister they could barely remember, in pietro’s case, the older sister he only knew by Wanda’s tales of battle. Ultron uses the confusion to attack them.Rogers, Romanoff, Barton and the twins fight Ultron and retrieve the synthetic body, but Ultron captures Romanoff. The Avengers fight among themselves when Stark and Banner secretly upload J.A.R.V.I.S.—who is still working after hiding from Ultron inside the Internet—into the synthetic body. Thor returns to help activate the body, based on his vision that the gem on its brow is the Mind Stone, one of the six Infinity Stones, the most powerful objects in existence. This "Vision" earns their trust by being worthy of lifting Thor's hammer, Mjölnir. Vision and the Maximoffs go with the Avengers to Sokovia, where Ultron has used the remaining vibranium to build a machine to lift a large part of the capital city skyward, intending to crash it into the ground to cause global extinction. Banner rescues Romanoff, who awakens the Hulk for the battle. The Avengers fight Ultron's army while Fury arrives in a Helicarrier with Maria Hill, James Rhodes, and S.H.I.E.L.D. agents to evacuate civilians. Pietro dies when he shields Barton from gunfire, and a vengeful Wanda abandons her post to destroy Ultron's primary body, which allows one of his drones to activate the machine. The city plummets, but Stark and Thor overload the machine and shatter the landmass. on the heilcarrier, wanda manages to once again bring pietro back to life, just as she did all those years ago.but the trauma of it all, his previous deaths, and the feelings of being brought back again, causes pietro to go crazy and his powers erratic. Natasha manages to calm him down by singing him a luabelly she and their mother used to sing to him and Wanda when they were infants, and the siblings are truly reunited for the first time in over a decade. Vision confronts and destroys Ultron's last remaining body. Later, with the Avengers having established a new base run by Fury, Hill, Cho, and Selvig, Thor returns to Asgard to learn more about the forces he suspects have manipulated recent events. Natasha brings Wanda and pietro to meet their biological parents, Dr melina vostokoff and Django maximoff, who are overjoyed at seeing their twins alive and free. Soon enough, Anya, the non mutant daughter of Erik and madga, arrives, having seen the news about ultron in her collage dorm, and arriving to the school to see it in rubble. She was told where the twins were by Moira. Wanda and pietro explain everything. They introduce melina and Django as their biological parents. Melina and Django introduce themselves to Anya. While Anya is still in shock about the events, she greets them too. She calls her mother so the twins can explain eveything to her. Madga was horrorfied with each word, espcially the part about pietro dying again, she tells the twins she is supportive and very proud of them, and that she is coming home right now, madga thinks she hang up the phone, but the kids can hear her basically having a panic attack. The next day, the X-men arrive back from their mission, Erik and the X-men are on high alert after seeing the school destroyed and the twins and Nina nowhere to be found. Xaiver uses his powers to search for them and finds them at melina and Django’s home. Anya, a calmed down madga and the twins expain everything. A few days later, As Stark leaves and Barton retires, Rogers and Romanoff prepare to train new Avengers: Rhodes, Vision, Sam Wilson, Wanda and pietro, who were given permission by Erik, madga, Logan and Xavier, just as long as stark never comes within a fifty feet radius of them ever again.

Dream Therapy (one-shot)

Fandom: Marvel Cinematic Universe, Thor (Movies), The Avengers (Marvel Movies), Loki (TV 2021) Rating: Not Rated Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Characters: Erik Selvig, Loki (Marvel), Jane Foster (Marvel) Additional Tags: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder - PTSD, Emotional Hurt/Comfort

Summary: Dr. Erik Selvig struggles to recover from having a god in his head. A strange dream helps him see things in a new light.

“In related news, a lawsuit has been filed by New York contractors who argue that no-bid contracts are being granted to a small number of well-connected real estate developers, following the large-scale destruction of parts of Manhattan during the alien attacks two years ago.”

Dr. Erik Selvig switched off the television.

Two years. Selvig wanted nothing more than to forget the entire thing, especially his own part in it. My unwilling part in it, he reminded himself.

He’d had two years of therapy, medications, meditation, and trying to lose himself in his work. He was better than he had been when he was arrested for running around Stonehenge sans clothing. He could at least stand to wear clothing now, but he still found it difficult to focus with his trousers on. It felt too restrictive, reminding him uncomfortably of the sensation of being totally controlled.

There was no recognized diagnosis for “possession by malevolent deity”, so they were officially treating him for PTSD. Some of it helped, much of it didn’t. He felt more himself these days, but the nights were bad. In his dreams, Loki was still there. Still threatening. Still taunting him.

As a child listening to the old myths of his homeland, he’d loved the stories about Loki, the God of Mischief. He’d been tickled by the idea that there was actually a god for that. Now, just the mention of that name could bring on flashbacks to a time when he’d been utterly consumed by Loki’s blind ambition and disregard for human life, unable to think for himself and enslaved, body and mind, to Loki’s “glorious purpose”.

He sighed and turned back to his work. He’d been at the same problem for months, trying to account for discrepancies between the standard model of quantum mechanics and the observed behavior of Einstein-Rosen bridges. His friend and former student, Jane Foster, had provided some valuable insights, but he still couldn’t make all the pieces fit. 

I’m too tired for this. He shut his laptop and went through his evening routine. He took his medication, including sleeping pills, and hoped this would be one of the good nights.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

“How is your work coming along, Dr. Selvig?” Loki asked.

Selvig looked up from the graph on his computer monitor. What had he been working on, exactly? He didn’t know, but it was important. Very important.

“I…it’s…coming along,” he stammered. “Just, um, running some simulations.”

Loki glanced at the monitor. Instead of a complicated graph, it now showed a cartoon in which Garfield was taunting Odi.

“I suspect your heart isn’t in it, Doctor,” Loki replied in that quietly menacing tone he so often used. He raised his scepter. “Perhaps we need to ensure that your loyalty is still paramount?”

Selvig jerked out of the chair and backed away. “No! That’s not necessary. Really!”

Loki advanced toward him. “Oh, but I think it is.”

Selvig ran out of the room and into an endless hallway. He looked back, but Loki wasn’t there. He turned to see where he was going, and there was Loki, ahead of him, grinning maliciously. He ran the other way and back through the door, but now he was outside. It was dark, and he was in a nondescript alley. He kept running, turning a corner only to find himself at a dead end. He whirled around to find Loki advancing slowly toward him with the scepter.

“No! Please, not again!” Selvig pleaded.

Loki took another step toward him, then froze. Confused, Selvig waited for the inevitable, but Loki still didn’t move. The god was as still as a statue of himself.

“What’s happening?” Selvig asked.

“Dr. Selvig.” It was Loki’s voice, but his lips didn’t move and the voice seemed to be coming from…everywhere.

“What…what is this?”

“You’re safe, Dr. Selvig,” the voice said. It sounded surprisingly gentle. “This isn’t real. Just a dream. A nightmare.”

“Is this a trick?”

“No. Well, yes, actually. Your mind is playing tricks on you. But it’s your mind, Dr. Selvig. Nobody is controlling it now. You are free — and always will be, if I have anything to say about it.”

“I don’t understand.”

“Please look at my eyes, Dr. Selvig. What do you see?”

Selvig looked at Loki. In his eyes, he saw the malevolence, anger, and fierce determination that he remembered. “I see…fury.”

“And behind that fury?”

Selvig stepped just a bit closer, staring at the still-unmoving Loki, for the first time trying to really see him.

“I see…” he stopped, afraid to give voice to what he thought he saw.

“Go ahead. It’s alright.”

“I see…fear?”

“Yes, Dr. Selvig. Fear, and self-loathing. I was terrified — and I used intimidation to hide it, trying to make everyone around me more afraid than I was. I tormented those weaker than I was, to cover my own weakness. I wanted to rule by force and by fear, because I thought I was unworthy of true respect.”

On some level, Selvig understood that he was dreaming— but for some reason that realization wasn’t causing him to wake up as it normally would. The dream still seemed real to him.

“Why are you telling me this? Or…am I telling myself this?”

“It doesn’t matter. What matters is that it’s true and that you know it’s true. What I did to you was unforgivable. You’re a decent man, Dr. Selvig. None of it was your fault. Not even a god can withstand the power of the mind stone. Even so, you managed to sneak in an off-switch for the Tesseract’s force field while under my control. That’s a testament to your unusual strength of character and of mind. I underestimated you.”

“How do I make this stop, then?”

“That’s up to you, Doctor. Do whatever makes sense. If you want to hit me, hit me. Or vent your own rage in some other way. Here and now, you are the strong one.”

Selvig stood before Loki, hands balling into fists, feeling his own anger rising to replace the fear. Loki’s body remained frozen, but his eyes were now tracking Selvig’s every move. The urge to pummel him was overwhelming — but now that he’d seen the growing fear in Loki’s eyes, he couldn’t help but feel just a tiny bit sorry for him.

He took a step back. “No.”

“No?”

“I don’t need to hit you. That’s what you’d do, but it’s not me. Just…get out. Leave me alone and don’t come back.”

Loki simply faded away, leaving Selvig standing alone in the alley, which soon began to fade as well. Selvig felt himself floating, feeling more at peace with himself than he had in a long time. He was floating in a bed of seaweed — no, not seaweed; the long, thin strands that cradled him with warmth were glowing with a soft, greenish light, rocking him gently and lulling him into a more peaceful slumber.

He didn’t even startle when he heard Loki’s voice once more.

“One more thing, Dr. Selvig. In the morning, you may want to take a closer look at the rate of decay of particles entering the Einstein-Rosen bridge. I think you may find it interesting.”

-----------------------------------------------------------------

“Erik, hi! How are you doing?” Jane Foster always started their phone conversations that way these days.

“I’m doing great! Listen, I just sent you a rather long document, but the short version is…I think I’ve cracked it! I found a way to square the Einstein-Rosen bridge with the standard model!”

“Seriously? That’s huge! I’ll check it out as soon as I can! What turned it around?”

“I looked at the rate of decay of particles entering the stream.”

“Woah! I didn’t even consider that. What made you think of it?”

“Would you believe it came to me in a dream?”

MCU Timeline: Thor

This timeline is based on the actual data from the movie and other directly connected movies (The Avengers and Thor: The Dark World) and not on Fury's Big Week (see the reason here).

965 AD - The last great war in the Nine Realms. Frost Giants from Jotunheim attack Midgard. Odin's army battles them in Tonsberg, Norway. He loses an eye, but defeats them and takes The Casket of Ancient Winters and Loki, son of Laufey, king of Jotunheim.

~11th century AD - the last time Lady Sif and The Warriors Three visited Midgard.

The main events of the movie take place in November 2011 (see explanation at the end of this post):

Shortly before November 20th - Loki anonymously shows Jotuns a secret passage to Asgard.

~November 20th:

Day-Evening - Thor's coronation ceremony is interrupted by the Jotuns breaking into Odin's Vault. The Destroyer kills them. Thor, Loki, Lady Sif and The Warriors Three go to Jotunheim. Thor starts a fight with Jotuns. Odin takes everyone back to Asgard and banishes Thor, stripping him of his powers.

Night - exiled Thor ends up in Midgard (Puente Antiguo, New Mexico, somewhere near Santa Fe) where Jane Foster, Erik Selvig, and Darcy Lewis accidentally hit him with a car. On top of this, Darcy uses a taser on him and he wakes up in the hospital (though not for long).

In Asgard, Loki learns that he is a Jotun and the son of Laufey. Odin falls into Odinsleep.

~November 21st:

Loki "temporarily" takes the throne of Asgard as the only remaining successor.

Early morning - events of "A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To Thor's Hammer" one-shot. Somewhere near Flagstaff, AZ.

Note: locations were determined by the distances on the sign from the one-shot.

Morning - locals find Mjolnir near Thor's landing site. Thor runs out of the hospital. Jane hits him with her car again.

Around noon - Coulson finds Mjolnir. S.H.I.E.L.D. builds a "fortress" around the hammer. The scientists give Thor clothes and food. S.H.I.E.L.D. takes Foster's, Selvig's and Lewis' equipment and all their data.

Note the warm clothes that all the characters wear (except for the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, but they always wear suits even if it's freezing outside), the bare trees everywhere, the brown grass and bushes, and the tangerines (their season is late fall - early spring).

Evening - Thor and Jane head to Mjolnir's location.

Night - Thor storms the "fortress" around Mjolnir, but is unable to lift the hammer. S.H.I.E.L.D. places him under arrest, and Coulson attempts to interrogate him. Loki visits him and informs that Odin is dead and Frigga does not want Thor to return. Selvig takes Jane back to their base, but then returns to rescue Thor with a fake driver's license.

Why it's late November: Look at the "DOB," "Issued," and "Expires" dates. They all say November 21st. That's a little weird. We also know that this DL is fake and that it was somehow made by Selvig, Jane, and Darcy on the same night. There will be another fake ID in Iron Man 2 with a date tied to the actual date of the events. Based on these little clues and other things that scream "late November", I would take a chance and guess that this day in Thor is November 21st.

Selvig and Thor talk and drink at a bar. Selvig asks Thor to leave town, but gets drunk and Thor carries him to Jane's van. Jane and Thor spend a PG-13 night together.

Loki goes to Laufey with an offer to let him kill Odin and take the Casket.

~November 22:

Despite Selvig's request, Thor stays.

Lady Sif and the Warriors Three arrive in Midgard.

The battle with the Destroyer. Thor sacrifices himself and dies. Odin sees this, and Mjolnir flies to Thor, now worthy, and brings him back to life.

Loki brings Jotuns to Asgard and then kills Laufey. Thor gets there and fights Loki, who is trying to destroy Jotunheim. Thor destroys the Bifrost to save Frost Giants. Loki falls into the remains of the Einstein-Rosen Bridge.

Early 2012 - Dr. Selvig is invited to work on Project Pegasus (S.H.I.E.L.D.-NASA study of the Tesseract).

Fury's Big Week note: as we can see, the movie tells us in every way that the events take place at the end of the year, and not in late May - early June.

Why 2011:

In The Avengers, Fury mentions that the events of Thor happened "last year." He says that on May 4th, 2012, so "last year" is 2011.

All the clues in the NASA location scene in The Avengers tell us that Dr. Selvig and Clint were there for no more than a few months: Selvig did not have enough time to complete his calculations, did not reach the testing phase, and had not enough time to get closer to Barton. This means he started working on the Tesseract in 2012, not earlier.

Before this, a month or two (not too much, not too little) had passed since the main events of Thor, as evidenced by the way Fury and Selvig talk about it in Thor's mid-credits scene.

It's hard to imagine Loki or Thanos going more than a year without action.

In Thor: The Dark World, Darcy says that Thor was last "gone for two years," that is, if we count from the fall of 2013 (events of Thor: The Dark World, where Thor reunites with Jane), we get the fall of 2011, the exact period we've established here.

Steve, Natasha, and Clint use the Quinjet to get to New York while you and Tony fly over there yourself. Tony's suit is malfunctioning because of what he went through in the blades of the engine, so it takes a lot longer than normal to get there. When you get to Stark Tower, you see Erik Selvig on the roof next to some contraption with the Tesseract spinning wildly inside.

"Sir, I took off the arc reactor. The device is already self-sustained," Jarvis says.

"Shut it down, Dr. Selvig!" Tony warns.

"It's too late! She can't stop now. She wants to show us something! A new universe."

"Tony, there is no point in trying to convince him. As long as he is under Loki's spell, he won't listen to reason."

"Okay."

Tony aims his hands repulsors toward the device and fires at it without knowing what it will do. The energy from his repulsors shatters with a deafening crack. Erik flies back from the impact and hits his head on the concrete.

"The barrier is pure energy. It's unbreachable."

"Yeah, I got that. We're going with Plan B."

"Sir, the Mark VII is not ready to be deployed," Jarvis informs.

"Skip the spinning rims. We're on the clock."

Loki is down below on the half-circle balcony watching you and Tony with careful eyes. Tony lands on the highest part of his balcony where Jarvis assists with removing Tony's damaged suit. Machines shoot up from the ground and stick to his suit so that when he walks, the suit comes off in pieces and disappears below the ground. As Tony is walking toward his penthouse, Loki is following all the while keeping his eyes on him. Once the entire suit is off, Tony walks to the bar in the back of the room for a drink while you stay in front of it. Your eyes haven't left Loki since.

"I see you brought a bodyguard," Loki smirks and looks at you. "Please tell me you're going to appeal to my humanity."

"Actually, we're planning on threatening you."

"Don't worry, I can take him," you glare.

All Loki can do is chuckle at your words.

"You should have left your armor on for that," he says to Tony but doesn't remove his eyes from you.

"Yeah, it's seen a bit of mileage, and you've got the blue stick of destiny. Would you like a drink?"

"Stalling me won't change anything."

"Not stalling. Threatening. No drink? Are you sure? I'm having one. You want one, Y/N?"

"I'm good, thanks."

"The Chitauri are coming, nothing will change that. What have I to fear?"

"The Avengers," Tony shrugs. "It's what we call ourselves, sort of like a team. 'Earth's Mightiest Heroes' type thing."

"Yes, I've met them," Loki looks you up and down.

"Yeah, takes us a while to get any traction, I'll give you that one, but let's do a head count here. Your brother, the demi-God; a super soldier; a living legend who kind of lives up to the legend; a man with breath-taking anger management issues; an avatar; a couple of master assassins, and you, big fella, managed to piss off every single one of them."

"That was the plan," Loki grins.

"Not a great plan," you shake your head.

"When they come, and they will, they'll come for you."

Loki turns his back on both of you, and Tony grabs two bracelets sitting on the counter that is no doubt hooked up to another suit of his. He'd be stupid to go against Loki and not wear any armor.

"I have an army."

"We have a Hulk."

"I thought the beast had wandered off."

"You're missing the point. There's no throne, no version of this, where you come out on top. Maybe your army comes and maybe it's too much for us, but it's all on you. If we can't protect the Earth, you can be damned well sure we'll avenge it."

Loki glares at Tony and walks over to him, raising the scepter.

"How will your friends have time for me, when they're so busy fighting you?" Loki places the tip of the scepter on Tony's chest to control his mind but it doesn't work. Loki tries again but achieves the same result. You smirk when you realize the thing in Tony's chest is what's protecting him right now. "This usually works."

"Well, performance issues, you know? Not uncommon."

In anger, Loki grabs Tony by the throat and flings him across the room.

"Tony!"

You run at Loki to protect your friend but Loki grabs you by the throat tightly. You claw at his hand but he doesn't budge. He tosses you to the ground next to Tony, and you hit your head on the floor hard.

"Jarvis. Anytime now," Tony coughs as he stands up.

Loki grabs Tony's throat again and lifts him off the ground. You scramble to your feet to help but Loki shoves the sharp end of his scepter into your stomach. You gasp and grip the scepter to stabilize it so it doesn't do more damage.

"You will all fall before me."

"Deploy!" Tony gasps.

Loki tosses him out the window which worries you, but as soon as one of his suits goes flying after him, you know he is going to be okay. Now that it's just you and Loki, he pulls you closer to him and twists the scepter in you.

"I know you're better than this."

Loki yanks the scepter out of your stomach and grabs your throat again, this time a lot gentler. He pulls you so close to him that you can smell his breath. How is it so minty?

"The Loki you knew is gone. We happened a thousand years ago! Give it a rest!"

"If that's true, then why am I still alive? I'm one of the only ones who can defeat you, so kill me. Take that scepter and stab it through my heart!" Loki glances at your lips briefly before his grip on your throat gets slightly tighter. "You can't do it, can you? Take a second and look at what you're doing. This isn't you." Loki looks around and for a split second, you see confusion and panic. "Who is hurting you?"

Loki shoves you away from him and you fall to the ground as your body works overtime to heal you of your stab wound. Tony flies up to the window in which he fell through and glares at Loki. Well, he has his helmet on but you can tell he is glaring.

"There's one other person you pissed off! His name was Phil."

Loki raises his scepter to attack Tony but your friend does it first. Loki is blown back from the blast, sending him on his ass. The Tesseract's energy beams into the sky which turns into a vortex which turns into a portal, much like how it did when Loki first passed through it. A hole in space rips open, and from it, the Chitauri army spills out in flying chariots, carrying energy rifles with a bayonet on the end of it.

"Right. Army."

You force yourself to your feet and jump out of the penthouse to join Tony's side. With you, he flies toward the opening so that he can destroy the aliens as soon as they come through. If he can do that, then the damage to Earth and her people will be less significant. Where Tony fires upon the aliens with his repulsors, you blast them with fireballs. The fire is hot enough to make them explode on contact. The ones you don't hit escape to terrorize the city.

"Tony, there's too many of them!"

If you keep at it, then there will be no one protecting the people of the city. You and Tony fly away from the opening of the portal and toward the city. The Chitauri unleashes hell upon the citizens of New York City by blowing up cars, tearing down stores, and straight-up blasting people who run by them.

An explosion rips out the windows of the top corners of buildings. Fire and stone rain down from the destruction of the Chitauri. No one was aware this was happening so police and soldiers from all departments are just now storming down the street in order to protect those they can. The Quinjet flies in between the buildings as you and Tony lead a group of aliens towards Stark Tower.

"Stark, we're heading northeast," Natasha says.

"What, did you stop for drive-thru? Swing up Park, I'm gonna lay them out for you."

Tony flies around his tower toward Park Avenue. Thor and Loki are fighting it out on the balcony and instead of interrupting them, you let them have their moment. Their fight causes the letters of Stark Tower to fall to the ground, and luckily there aren't any people down below to suffer for it. The Chitauri following you is getting close, so you swoop down toward an empty street only to make a hard turn upward. The Chitauri isn't anticipating your movements so it goes crashing down onto the asphalt. Tony leads a group of them over to the Wuinjet where Natasha uses the machine gun she tried using on Loki in Germany. As soon as Tony is out of

"Sir, we have more incoming," Jarvis informs.

"Fine. Let's keep them occupied."

Tony veers to the right to head back to the portal while you stay with Natasha. She flies the Quinjet over to Stark Tower where Thor and Loki are having it out. Loki tosses his brother to the side and focuses on Natasha who is firing at him ruthlessly. He uses his scepter to blast one of the wings of the Quinjet, causing it to spiral out of control. You quickly fly over to the flaming aircraft and use your air powers to guide it safely to the ground. They take a hard tumble but everyone inside is fine.

Steve, Nat, and Clint leave the jet once it's safe and join your side on the ground. The entire ground rumbles as something big is coming through that portal. You hear a deep, primal rage bellow out, and the four of you look up toward the portal. Suddenly, a Chitauri Leviathan passes through the barrier and into your world.

"Shit," you sigh.

As it passes over you, Chitauri soldiers shoot out from the side of the creature and latch onto the buildings. Some crash through the windows and start firing upon the citizens inside while others cling to the sides of the buildings.

"Stark, are you seeing this?" Steve asks.

"I'm seeing, still working on believing. Where's Banner? Has he shown up yet?"

"No."

"Keep me posted." Tony flies closer to the Leviathan. "Jarvis, find me a soft spot."

"I can turn into one of those things and fight it. If they got something that big, may as well have something that big on our team, right?"

"That's not a good idea. We'll be shooting at you, too."

A group of Chitauri come flying in on their drones with Loki on the back of one of them. They fly down the street and shoot at innocent people. Their blasts hit cars and other items causing them to go up in flames.

"Those people need assistance down there."

Chitauri soldiers land on the falling cars near you four and begin shooting at you, but all four of you are hidden behind other cars so you're not directly in their way. Natasha takes out two pistols and starts firing at the Chituari while Clint uses his bow and arrow to take them out.

"We got this. You two go!"

"Do you think you can hold them off?" Steve asks Clint.

"Captain, it would be my genuine pleasure."

He fires an arrow into one of the Chitauri that explodes into tinier ammo which hits three other aliens. That gives you and Steve enough time to jump off the bridge you're on and to the ground below. You grab his hand and lift him into the air to fly him over to the fight since it's easier than running. The Chitauri above start shooting at you but you're too quick for their blasts.

The aliens you pass by are in your line of fire, so you send sharp icicles into their chests or flaming balls of fire into their heads. You can't use your Earth powers unless you want to add an earthquake to New York's list of problems. You can't use your air powers down here because then you'd be kicking up debris and causing more injury to humans.

There is a line of officers down the street trying to do their best by shooting at the aliens as they come but they are seriously outnumbered.

"It's gonna be an hour before they can scramble the National Guard!"

"National Guard? Does the army know what's happening here?"

"Do we?"

You and Steve land on a police car in front of them, gaining everyone's attention.

"I need men in these buildings." Steve points to the buildings he's talking about. "There are people inside that are going to be running right into the line of fire. You take them through the basement or the subway. Just keep them off the streets. I need a perimeter as far back as 39th."

"Why the hell should I take orders from you?" the police sergeant asks.

Suddenly, an explosion comes from above you and Steve. Two Chitauri land on the same car you're on but they're not going to get past you. Steve uses his shield as protection and a weapon while you use your fire powers. You grab the side of the alien's head and set it on fire before kicking him off the car. Another one jumps in front of you and raises his weapon to fire at you but you grab his arm and form a sharp icicle that you use to stab into its stomach. The alien cries out in pain as you kick him away.

The police sergeant sees how well you two fought them so he turns to his men to order them around.

"I need men in those buildings. Lead the people down and away from the streets. I need a perimeter as far back as 39th."

Tony flies after the Leviathan and tries shooting it down but it's going to take a lot more than that to take it down. However, it does get its attention and it turns around to chase after Tony.

"We got his attention. What the hell is step two?!"

"I'm on my way!" you say and shoot straight into the sky.
