Interlude Tony
Steve Rogers, his father's wonderful friend, disappeared together with Point Break. Tony would never admit to him that he liked him as a child. Before his father had poisoned his image of Captain America with all comments about how Tony was hopeless compared to the great Steve fucking Rogers! Tony stared at Rushman and Legolas' brain readings. It was really interesting. Rushman's brain was completely absorbed foreign energy that acted on the neurons. Rushman wouldn't stand a chance. And yet this control was much weaker. It created an illusion in the brain and it influenced emotions. While Mrs. Loki's control spanned the whole brain, there was only one place in Legolas's control.
Tony looked through it.
He had to understand. He had to. He remembered the portal. A cruel presence. Evil eyes on him. Loki wasn't the only threat. They were different, and the Earth was complete unarmed. He was obsessed with coffee, his mind busy with plans for new suits. He needed at least a hundred! Or two hundred! How much time does the Earth have?
He was alone now. Bruce and two spies have just left to talk to the Cyclops. He had to come up with a better nickname for Fury. Cyclops or pirate is boring. Suddenly Point Break burst into the lab. He seemed agitated by something. Steve was right behind him.
"Thor, listen to me ..." Steve tried to say.
"Don't you dare talk! Loki..." Thor said furiously.
"Thor, I'm not denying that your brother's actions were wrong. He hurt the innocent, but ..." Steve shouted.
"My brother had no right," said Thor.
"He had no right to war, but to Tesseract yes," he replied.
"Hey, sorry but I don't understand. What's the deal with the space cube our not-so-favorite alien took?" Tony asked.
"The captain says my brother's actions were justified!" Thor shouted.
"I didn't say anything like that," Steve said.
"Hey, hey let's calm down. Come on old man, what do you mean?" Tony asked.
"Stark, Red Skull stole a tesseract from Asgard, and then Shield took the tesseract too. Schmidt took it from Odin's hideout. Tesseract is an Asgard artifact. Accessible to the royal family. Do you understand what I'm saying? ”Steve clenched his fists.
"Yeah, quite a political mess. Because our favorite reindeer actually had the right to come to took cube. It's just a pity that he brought some friends," Tony replied.
"I don't understand how you can support my brother's actions. He hurt Midgard!" Thor shouted.
"Thor, we disapprove that your brother wanted to make Earth his own personal kingdom. You're a prince, aren't you?" Tony asked him.
"Yes, I am Odin Borson's firstborn son. First Prince of Asgard, God of Thunder and future King of Asgard," replied Thor.
"Yeah, cool titles. Make yourself a calling card with this. Whatever. Steve just wanted to tell you that people might have accidentally triggered a political incident between Asgard and Earth, "Tony said.
"What incident?" Thor asked.
For a moment Tony thought he felt sorry for Asgard if Thor were to be king. Thor was a great guy, but he obviously didn't get it political games and manipulation. Maybe Loki was crazy, but he wasn't naive. Why couldn't Almighty Daddy make Loki a King of Asgard? Loki would cease to be interested in Earth. And at least Asgard would chance with a crazy but competent ruler. Tony suspected the first day of being King Thor would result in Ragnarok, or something like that.
"Thor, people have stolen your father's priceless weapon. Your daddy could take revenge on us by that. For example, by war, just like your brother!
The Shield lied as usual. Because they should not be surprised that if they took something that did not belong to them, someone got revenge. And Loki didn't really steal the tesseract because you can't steal what belongs to you. Loki is a prince. The prince has the right to visit Daddy's armory and take some interesting weapons from it, do you understand now? ”Tony asked.
"You got me thinking, Man of Iron," said Thor and left.
"You think he got it?" the Captain asked.
"Hopefully," Tony replied and went back to his work.
Tony worked until Jarvis alerted him that Sylvie, their prisoner was stuck in some flashback.
Tony rushed over to room where she was imprisoned.
Loki was there.
