Alter Realm
New Asgard on Earth looks medieval and serene if you would ask anyone who will visit the place, a far picture from the original Asgard with Tall Buildings, unusual architectural designs which will remind you of what heaven might look like. And the people in it’s all god-like glory. But now they live like a normal human being, living as Fishermans.
As Rocket Raccoon and Hulk walked to where Thor lives, they were suddenly halted by Valkyrie.
“What are you doing here?” she asked with a stern in her voice.
“Wow! Thank you for your warm welcome Madam. But we are here to visit our Asgardian friend slash King for a great proposal if you shall let us pass? Capisce?” Rocket’s arrogant tone made the woman raise her right eyebrow and crossing her arms, she is typically annoyed right now.
“Hello Valkyrie, it is good to see you. It’s been a while, how are things going on here?” Bruce reached out to her for a handshake and the opposite party accepted “Doing good, progress is slow but we are doing fine, got accustomed to our new life here. If you wish to speak to our King. I should warn you, he is a mess right now. He’s been neglecting us, his people and here I am balancing everything for his sake” this isn’t what Bruce is anticipating. Thor? Neglecting his own people?
They made their way through Thor’s home, and the scene is unbearable.
“Oh hey there! Dear friends! Care for some drinks? Hey my friend Rodent our little mascot, long time no see. Hey, Hulky my another friend, oh hey Valkyrie! Wanna play Fortnite with me? And some good booze?” Thor stood up giving them a tight hug, the God of Thunder looks like an old fart drunkard, unshowered, smells like garbage.
“Hey, Thor! He’s back this fucking dickhead calling me a noob! Help me out!” Korg shouted at the other end of the room with Miek at his side.
Thor release his visitor’s from a welcoming hug, swaying and walked slowly towards his friend, taking the headset and starts to give threats to the person on the other side of the line, satisfied in scaring Noobmaster69 he must have forgotten about his new visitors, until Rocket Raccoon made a screeching noise just to get his attention.
“Oh hey there, sorry I forgot of your existence old friend. How may I help you again?” he returned to where he is seated, giving a drunken smile to Rocket, Bruce and Valkyrie.
Bruce can see on his companion that he is running out of patience, he tapped on the Rodent’s shoulder to signal him that he will do the talking. Much to the other’s dismay, he just nodded.
“Thor, we need your help” Bruce approached the drunken god but he was just scoffed off “My help? For what old friend? Thanos is dead. There is nothing for me to do. A lot of my people were dead, and it is all my fault. There is nothing we can do” another sip from his new buddy named Beer.
“Just listen to me old friend if you may?” Bruce pleaded. Rocket is really running out of patience and he jumped in front of the God of Thunder.
“Hey listen you Big Belly! We can reverse the fucking decimation, return your people from dust. This Antman person told us that we could time travel and right now Mr.Ironman himself plus this Green Guy over here, are done with the Time Travel Machine. So get your ass outta here, come with us and become heroes! Understood? Use your Stormbreaker! And oh don’t forget about Groot too. I miss Groot! Don’t you fucking miss him?” small fist trembling with anger and disappointment, almost crumpling the old shirt which Thor currently wore.
Thor looked at Bruce waiting for confirmation “What he said is true Thor, we can reverse what Thanos did. And we need your help, everyone is waiting for you at the New Avengers facility”.
The Asgardian King stood up, leaving a half drunk bottle of beer “Leave me alone. I want to sleep”, and he shuts the door.
Rocket almost run towards the room but Valkyrie stood in front of it “Just leave him be for a while. He will go by. You can stay at my place tonight” and with that, the three left Thor’s house hoping the Asgardian King will have a change of heart tomorrow.
----------------
“Thor son of Odin, is this what you have become? Awake from your foolish slumber” a melancholic voice rouse the God of Thunder from his sleep.
"I said leave me alone, I still want to sleep”.
“Very well then”.
The ground starts to shake, and this made Thor rouse. Before he fully stood up, the ground open and swallowed him whole and in that very moment he is no longer on Earth.
Once he regained his composure, he marveled at the scene before him. It reminds him of Asgard, majestic. But this place is a combination of both - majestic equipped with advanced Technology.
“Are you soberer now? Son of Odin?” Thor turned around and saw a woman in his mid-20’s and she reminds him of Jane Foster. Confident, beautiful and intelligent.
“Who are you beautiful maiden? And where are we?” a cocky smile flashes on the God of Thunder.
“My name is Alitheia, I was used to bring darkness upon all realms. And once possessed your beloved mortal, extracted and solidified” and at that simple statement, Thor immediately knows who he was talking to.
“You are the Reality Stone, what do you want from me? But how did you?” Thor simply pointing to a human solid form of one of the Infinity Stones.
“Simple, my image was created by the chosen one as he grew up with sadness. You see, I and my siblings were created like somewhat a family, not just a mere weapon. I know you are wondering where we are right now, but this is what Titan looks like before the Genocide and his presumed death. Come with me and I will tell you everything I know” she reached out her hand to Thor and they walked among the people, without them noticing their existence.
The Asgardian King learned that the people that were affected by the snap, were sent into this alternate world. With no memories of who they are, this is what Thanos wants. Creating a possible new Titan. The reality stone telling him of the existence of the Angel of Infinity and thus Thor has to protect and assist him at all costs. In case another great catastrophe happens. With no second thought the Asgardian King agreed, his strong conviction returned. With a promise that his identity will remain a secret to everyone.
They stopped in front of an unusual building, the structure seems out of place.
“I shall bid my farewell Son of Odin. You know what you have to do” before the Reality Stone vanishes into thin air he transformed Thor in his former built and glory and a final warning to be ready for a battle of a lifetime.
Now he remembers this building, he’s been here before with Loki, while they were looking for their Father Odin. As he progresses inside the structure he heard a familiar voice.
“Tony...I will never allow you...don’t….”.
“Hey Peter, wake up...you are having a nightmare…”.
“Tony? My beloved Anthony Edward Stark….I can’t let you do it Anthony….you can’t….” the voice is of a young man pleading and is Tony Stark here? But the other voice doesn’t belong to him. He knows that Ironman was not affected by the snap.
And when he entered the room there it was Tony Stark’s betrothed, beautiful lips pressed on the Sorcerer’s chapped lips. And the other holding him tightly. The young one seems to succumb into a deep sleep.
He was about to punch the Mystic Sorcerer, but he was pulled by a bright light. Damn! Not now! Let me punch him first!
And now he is back to reality, but it wasn’t a dream after all. The God of thunder stood up and he saw his old self. Full of confidence, seething with enormous power.
He stormed out of his room, Stormbreaker on his hands. Ready to blow.
The energy of the Asgardian King rumbles throughout New Asgard.
“Let us go now. Make Haste!” Bruce and Rocket are already waiting for him outside, with a smile on their faces.
“Brunnhilde, please take care of our people while I embark on this journey to save what we have lost” a burning sensation reeks through every inch of his bones and muscles. And Valkyrie bowed unto her King, a proud smile on her face. At last, their King is back.
Time to say hello to another old friend, Tony Stark. He might as well seek first the aid of Captain America, just in case, all hell breaks loose in the New Avengers Facility.
