Keep The World's Peace.
Chapter Three: The God of Thunder.

*A*V*E*N*G*E*R*S*

    The plane they were on had to fly through the night, since the helicarrier had been unable to stop, they wound up slowly gaining ground on it. Of course, nothing ever went well when you were flying over a large range of forestry with a god of trickery in the plane with you. They just didn't know it yet. But the clouds gathering on the horizen couldn't be a good sign.

    "So...you're from space huh?" Megamind asks Loki, descreetly scooting closer to the black haired man who was staring at him with his mouth hanging open and a brow arched at him. "Did you, by any chance, ever hear of my people?"

    But Loki doesn't answer, just staring at the alien as if...well, as if he were an alien. He had just taken over the exact same blue alien a few hours ago, and he had seen him at the base, working with Selvig. Granted the alien seemed a bit off, but it was atill confusing Loki beyond belief. Could the alien have somehow known about his plan? Could the scepter have not worked on him?

    Megamind briefly wonders why Loki isn't answering him, but decides to ignore it. He was the enemy after all, he was probably just refusing to talk to him to be indignant. God knows he did it to Metro Man dozens of times himself. But it still throws him off, so he flicks the high tech watch on his wrist, exactly the moment that Loki glances warily out of the quinjet at the thunder that's rumbling. He smirks and sets the transformation sequence to 12:30 with a twist of a knob, and the press of a button.

    "What's this coming from?" Natasha mutters softly, watching the stormclouds warily, ready to race through them if the storm starts rattling the quinjet too much.

    "What's the matter? Scared of a little lightning?" Steve asks cockily from where he's standing next to Tony who has his faceplate up, scanning the device on Megamind's wrist curiously.

    "I'm not particularly fond of what follows." Loki mutters as he watches both the heroes surrounding him and the lightning flashing outside of the plane. A harsh slam rings out from the front of the plane, a sharp flash illuminating a harsh face outside, as the ramp is forcefully opened.

    The four on the quinjet are dumbstruck as a huge man enters, shoulders at least as broad as Steve's, blonde hair reaching his shoulders. Megamind is the only one to move when he snatches Loki up from next to the blue man.

    "Hey, freeze!" He yells, pointing at the man with his de-gun. "Put down the-!" He starts, only for Thor to toss the hammer over his shoulder almost carelessly, Megamind falling backwards to dodge the huge chunk of metal, a single beam of blue flashing from his gun, disappearing into the distnace.

    Immediatly Tony gets up with a sigh. "And now there's that guy." He mutters as he grabs the faceplate from the bench that he hadn't been sitting on.

    "Another asgardian?" Natasha asks from the cockpit incredulously. She couldn't believe their terrible luck.

    "Think that guys a friendly?" Steve asks the other two not focusing on flying the plane.

    "Doesn't matter." Tony says as he finishes his preparations for take off. "If he frees Loki, or kills him, the tesseract's lost."

    "Stark, we need a plan of attack!" Steve yells as Tony approaches the ramp, Megamind getting up, rubbing the back of his head with a groan.

    "I have a plan. Attack." Tony responds, flipping the faceplate down and blasting of before any of the others can give another complaint.

    Steve scoffs at the man's behavior, moving to grab a parachute. Megamind shrugs and snatches one up as well, having a bit of trouble buckling the straps. "I'd sit this one out guys." Natasha calls back to them.
    "I don't see how I can." Steve responds and finishes with the buckles.

    "These guys come from legends." Natasha discourages, managing to glance back at the two men. "They're basically gods."

    "There's only one god ma'am." Steve responds in a strangely respectful way as Megamind somehow manages to finish buckling his parachute on backwards. "And i'm pretty sure he doesn't dress like that." He says, and with that, he jumps out of the quinjet.

    "Ugh, you're not going too are you?" Natasha asks Megamind, groaning when she sees the strange state he's in, with his cape weaving through the straps of the parachute. "Really, you're not like Cap. You don't have any super powers to rely on."

    "No worries." Megamind says with a hand up as though to dismiss her worries. "I've got other things I can rely on. This big brain isn't just for show." He smiles, pointing to his head and jumping clumsily out of the plane.

    It took him a full five minutes to get to the ground and manage to squirmle out of the parachute, almost ripping the Black Mamba as he did so. He immediatly began making his way to where the sounds and blasts were originating from.

    He yelps when a huge blast rings out through the forest, forcing him off his feet and onto the forest floor. He looks up to find a tree nearly falling to him. With a cry of utter terror, he begins running through the trees again, coming upon the huge blonde man slowly getting up, shooting a terrifying glare at Steve. "Are we done here?" Steve asks.

    "Hey!" Megamind yells, attempting to jump into the clearing, managing only to trip over a branch that was hanging out from a fallen tree in front of him. Tony snorts in laughter as the alien picks himself up, aiming the gun at Thor once again. "Stay right there!" He yells, trying to seem serious.

    "Wai-" Steve starts, Thor just then turning to see another beam of blue flying at him, his eyes widening as he disappears into a small blue cube. "What the-?!"

    "Whoa!" Tony says, picking up the cube curiously. "Why couldn't we have done that before this whole big mess?" He asks, gazing into the cube that looks strangely like the tesseract.

    "Dehydrated him." Megamind says, pointing to the gun with a wide smile at the fellow scientist's curiosity. "It's usually not the best thing to do to living organisms, but this was a bit of an emergency."

    "No it wasn't!" Steve snarls at the alien, grabbing him by the collar of the Black Mamba. "We had agreed to a cease fire!" He yells, shoving Megamind to where Tony was holding the tiny cube. "Change him back!"

    "Okay, jeez!" Megamind whines and snatches up the cube, only to put it on the ground. "Anyone have any water?"

    Megamind watched as Loki passed by the lab. They had gotten back soon after the mess in the forest, and luckily, Natasha was willing to spare some of her water bottle to bring the man back, who introduced himself as Thor after giving Megamind a good slap on the shoulder. Loki was watching him intently and with suspician in his eyes before he turned to Bruce, looking at him with an strange smile on his face.

    Megamind was ignoring the briefing that was occuring on the moniter that they had moved to watch. Why would he care about what that strange man had to say. He was too busy wondering why he was staring at him like that. Could he have possibly met him at some point in time?

    "He really grows on you, doesn't he?" Bruce says to the rest of the team, sarcasm lacing his voice obviously. Megamind blinks, managing a half hearted chuckle at his fellow scientist.

    "Loki's gonna drag this out." Steve replies, though having nothing to do with what Bruce had said. "So Thor, what's his plan?"

    Thor blinks awake, apparently having paid even less attention then Megamind had. "     He has an army called the Chitauri. They're not of Asgard or any world known. He means to lead them against your people. They will win him the earth. In return, I suspect, for the Tesseract."

    "An army?" Steve asks with an incredulous look. "From outer space?"

    "Really?" Natasha asks Steve, pointing to Megamind. "You're asking that when there's an alien right in front of you?"

    "How do we even know he's an alien?" Steve asks suspiciously. "It could just be a costume."

    "You are from another world?" Thor asks the blue man curiously. "Do you know about the chitauri?"

    "Okay, first of all, i'm blue. It shouldn't have been that hard to guess that i'm not human." Megamind responds with his head in his hand boredly. "And also, I don't know anything about space that you don't. I mean, I came to Earth when I was 8 days old. What do you expect?"

    "If he's building another portal though..." Bruce mutters his theory to the others. "That's what he needs Erik Selvig for."

    "Selvig?" Thor asks.

    "He's an astrophysicist." Bruce explains.

    "He's a friend." Thor shoots back.

    "Loki has him under some kind of spell." Natasha adds in from where she was sitting. "Along with one of ours." She adds morbidly.

    "And, apparently," Tony says as he enters the room with Coulson close behind him. "You." He says, pointing to Megamind.

    "What?" Echoes through the room, everyone asking the same thing at nearly the same time. Megamind suddenly shooting out of his chair in shock.

    "He got Music Man!" He yells, dashing out of the room as fast as he can, through the halls, heading to the steel trap of a cage that was originally meant for the Hulk.

    "Wait, who's Music Man?" Steve asks cluelessly. Most of the rest didn't know either.

    "Some nobody musician." Tony says as he makes his way over to the computers. "If that's who he got, there's nothing to worry about. I mean, yeah, he's a big guy, but he's still just a musician."

    Bruce nods in response. "Right. We should focus on Loki and Selvig. The question is, what do they need iridium for?"

    "Stabilizing agent." Tony responds as he twists around to try and look at the computer screens around him.

    "You!" Megamind yells at Loki as he rushes through the door to the room that held the steel trap over a door that lead to nothing but miles upon miles of clouds and air. "How did you get ahold of him!"

    "Ah." Loki says, looking up from where he had been lounging on the floor of the trap. "I wasn't expecting YOU to be here for sure. So how did you get out?"

    "Don't change the subject!" Megamind yells, slamming his fists feebly against the glass. He was never a very strong person, and now they barely made a thunk noise. He drops his voice to a low snarl. "How did you get control over Metro Man?"

    "Ah yes, I see now." Loki smirks, gazing at the familiar watch on Megamind's wrist. "That is the device that you scanned me with, yes?"

    "Wha-?" Megamind asks, recoiling a bit from the edge of the glass, Loki taking his place on the other side of the glass. "How did you-?"

    "You really are pathetic." Loki chuckles and gazes at the large headed alien menacingly. "You think that you're smarter than me. You'll NEVER be smarter than me. You'll only realize when your life has crumbled, and by the time that i'm standing above all you miserable attempts at a perfect life form, you'll truly realize just how much of a lower life form you are." He continues, a hard sneer rising on his face. He didn't care at this point. He was in a bad mood, and he wanted someone to suffer. It didn't matter that the alien seemed to only be getting angry at what he was saying.

    But he flattens out the creses in his face, and looks up with the blankest look that he had ever managed to put on his face. A small, menacing smile on his face. "Congratulations, you've just made it personal." He says, and leaves without another sound.

    Loki can only continue his sneer as the obnoxious huge black leather cape swishes as Megamind leaves the god in silence.
