Marvel Shuttling the Heavens - Chapter 210
“Sir, this armed and unidentified person suddenly appeared here! He ignored our warning and injured our personnel!”
When the team leader recognized the new voice as his superior, he immediately took down his gun and bowed respectfully before explaining the situation.
“I understand. You are dismissed. Leave this to me, and take the injured personnel to the infirmary!”
It was Coulson, dressed in his iconic black suit! He took control of the situation and walked straight toward Thor after instructing his subordinate to back down!
The team leader glanced at Thor, but he didn’t contest his superior’s command. He simply replied to Coulson curtly: “Yes, sir!”
“Hello, Mr Thor! We meet again! Welcome to SHIELD, I apologize for the unnecessary inconvenience. I hope you don’t mind!”
Coulson smiled warmly as he greeted and walked towards Thor!
“Ah, you’re that guy that took our lab equipment!”
Thor placed the Stormbreaker on the ground. He then recalled something when he saw Coulson’s face, and exclaimed loudly!
“Cough, please, let’s not bring up the past! That was simply a misunderstanding!
“Come, I will bring you to meet our director. He has heard many great things about you, and cannot wait to meet you for the first time!”
Thor’s words froze Coulson’s smile for a moment, but he quickly recovered his wit and changed the topic!
“That’s right, I have something important to do here! Let’s go see your director right now!”
Thor being Thor, he was easily led away from the topic! He recalled what his father had entrusted him with, and what he had to do here. Even Thor could feel anxious!
“This way, please, Mr Thor!” Coulson was all too happy that the topic moved away.
“By the way, aren’t my friends on this plane too? Where are they now?”
Thor suddenly paused when he remembered something. He asked Coulson with a doubtful tone!
“They are in the laboratory. They probably don’t know yet that you’re here, so we will inform them immediately! Let’s go see the director first!”
…
“Wait, Thor!”
A sudden voice stopped Thor in his tracks!
“Stark, Captain, you’re really here!”
Thor smiled wide at the familiar faces!
“Thor, where have you been? How did you find this helicarrier? And how did you know we’re here?”
Tony asked with surprised expression as he walked towards Thor and patted the big Asgardian’s shoulders!
Tony was genuinely puzzled. How did Thor even find this place? The helicarrier was equipped with cloaking technology. Even the best sensors and detection system on Earth would be hard-pressed to find its exact location!
How, then, could a meathead like Thor found an accurate coordinate of it?
“It was Heimdallr who told me. He said that you brought my brother here! I came here to bring my brother back to Asgard and hand him to my father!”
Thor’s expression was indifferent as he explained the answer!
A little while after leaving the Stark Building, Thor recalled that he had no idea where Loki was. Earth is a big place: even if he could fly, it would take forever to find Loki!
Thus, using his Stormbreaker, Thor summoned the Bifrost to bring him back to Asgard, so he could ask Heimdallr about Loki’s exact position!
However, during his short return to Asgard, Thor met his father Odin, who stressed the dire situation. Odin then ordered Thor stop Loki and bring the God of Mischief back to Asgard!
…
“Mr. Thor, I’m sorry to disappoint you, but Loki is also a criminal on Earth. We cannot hand such an individual to you so easily! He must be judged by the laws of Earth!”
A serious voice suddenly interrupted: SHIELD’s Director Nick Fury had personally and firmly rejected Thor’s request!
“No. Your objection does not matter. I will bring Loki back, no matter the cost. As an Asgardian, he must be judged by the laws of Asgard. It is not your place to interfere in our laws!
“Loki is my brother! I will not let you have him!”
Thor’s face immediately darkened when he heard Nick Fury’s words. He refused to back down to Nick Fury’s demands! The atmosphere in the bridge became heavy!
The two glared at each other, neither willing to budge. They seemed like they were ready to start a fight at any second!
“In the few days he spent on Earth, he already killed more than 80 people.”
Natasha suddenly spoke in soft voice, diffusing the heavy atmosphere!
“I, uh, he was adopted! Yeah, we’re not related by blood.”
Thor’s unyielding momentum suddenly deflated like a balloon when he heard Natasha’s words. His serious face became very awkward!
“Alright, no point in arguing. Whether Loki would go back with Thor or not, this is not the time to discuss that. We need to discuss our battle plan and find the Tesseract!”
The Captain finally spoke up and took control of the situation!
“My father had told me an important information before I came here. He said that a mysterious person is secretly helping my brother. That mysterious person had also given him an army: the Chitauri alien race!
“Individually, the Chitauri race are not strong, but their numbers are many. Equipped with technology far beyond Earth’s, they are known as the most brutal race in the universe!
“There was no imagining the consequences if they invade Earth. Their destruction will be felt across the planet! Carnage will befall humanity!”
Thor’s face returned to serious expression as he told everyone all the information Odin had told him!
Silence fell upon the room. They did not expect that they would stand upon the brink of global catastrophe!
“Perfect! This incident will be a great chance to show the Justice League’s strength!”
Tony’s thought was going in completely different direction as everyone else in presence!
…
“So, Loki stole the Tesseract to open a portal and bring his Chitauri army to Earth?
“But, Loki is currently in our custody. How would he command his army?”
T’Challa suddenly broke the silence with a question!
“He might have gotten captured on purpose! He was always scheming, and we might have caught in one of his schemes!”
Banner voiced his suspicion!
“Well, no point in overthinking it. We should find a way to track the Tesseract as soon as possible. No matter what Loki’s plan is, he can’t carry it out without the Tesseract!”
Nick Fury thought for quite a while, but he couldn’t come up with any good ideas either. He decided to focus on the primary target: The Tesseract!
Nick Fury’s logic was that no matter what tricks Loki had up his sleeves, as long as the Tesseract was kept out of his reach, he couldn’t bring his so-called alien army to bear!
With the discussion proving fruitless, they decided to continue their current course of actions. SHIELD would continue trying to get valuable information from Loki.
Meanwhile, Tony, Banner, and the others would continue being busy in the laboratory to investigate every traces of the Tesseract’s location!
