Author’s Note: I absolutely love cars. If you have time, look up the Saleen S7 – it’s a beautiful and powerful vehicle and I can only hope my description did it some justice.
On chapter to go!
Thanks to my beta, Paradise!
~*~
Helicopters took to the sky in droves as S.H.I.E.L.D. agents continued cramming into others waiting on the ground. Given the circumstances, the security paid no attention to a bright orange sports car zooming into the middle of the chaos.
A flurry of electric energy caught Natasha’s eye as she watched Thor take to the sky. Behind him, her teammates were running towards the waiting helicopters. Applying quick pressure to the gas pedal, Natasha managed to drive towards Bruce, stopping between him and the helicopter.
For a moment, Bruce stood in shock before his eyes roamed over the car in admiration. The aerodynamic structure and the tangerine color only helped to accentuate the car’s exotic appeal, but the powerful roar of the engine suggested that a beast lurked underneath its beautiful exterior.
The passenger door slid upwards and she leaned over with a smile.
“Need a ride?”
With an amused smile, Bruce jumped in. As soon as he fastened his seatbelt, his head hit the headrest as Natasha took off.
“Nice car. What is it?”
“Saleen S7. It can get to 60 mph in about 2.8 seconds.”
“Tony’s?”
“Of course,” Natasha grinned as her eyes darted towards the speedometer – 180 mph. Luckily, she knew the city’s roads by heart. For other people’s sake, she was relying on S.H.I.E.L.D. to clear the roads.
“You have some insider information I don’t know?”
“Doom came back because he felt the energy of the tesseract. I’m assuming he’s holding Tony hostage so that Loki can give him the little trinket.”
Bruce sighed as he watched the city zoom past him in a blur.
“So what can we do?”
“There’s an energy force field around Stark’s Tower so we can’t get in. However, if that device releases Tony then you can catch him if Loki doesn’t reach him in time.”
“So . . . Tony’s life is in the hands of either a master criminal or a rage monster?”
“Basically.”
“That’s comforting.”
~*~
“What a pretty face – Loki has chosen well,” Doom sneered as his metal fingers painfully gripped Tony’s hair. Clenching his teeth, Tony resisted the urge to spit at him. He tried to move his arms, but they were bound with a chain eating into his skin. Even if he could escape, he’d have a date with the cement sidewalk.
“What are you trying to accomplish?”
Doom laughed as he took a dramatic step backwards.
“Why – start a war of course!”
“And this kinky device?”
“That’s just for fun. You see Loki and I are in a bit of a feud. As for your team – they’re an interesting distraction. I can’t tell you how bored I’ve been these last few years. Planets are too easy to enslave and I wanted a real challenge.”
“May I suggest you challenge yourself to find a more interesting personality? You are so tediously cliché. After you are done with that – go work on giving yourself a makeover.”
Doom quickly closed the distance between him and Tony; his rage evident in his eyes. Despite all reason, Tony began to feel anxious and started squirming around. He had to do something. Waiting around like a helpless Princess for someone to save him wasn’t exactly his style.
“Oh look – your time is up!” Doom sneered as he watched the last few bits of sand trail to the bottom of the hourglass. Auburn eyes stared at the hourglass in panic as his mind raced to find some way out of his predicament.
“Is this what you want!?”
Doomed immediately recognized the voice yelling from the building opposite the Stark tower. He swiveled towards him, grinning underneath his mask. Loki stood with the tesseract in his hand staring at Doom with a mischievous smirk. He watched the tesseract slip through Loki’s fingers. With a growl, Doom launched himself from the edge of the building.
Tony felt his stomach lurch as he heard the metal arm above him creak before violently snapping in half. A green blast destroyed his chains submitting him to free-fall. How helpful. Tony remarked in his mind as he continued to make uncontrollable somersaults in the air.
On the ground below, Natasha continued to blast any alien soldier that dared to get within range. At the sound of the blast, her eyes darted upwards before searching for Bruce.
“Banner, you’re up!”
“I’m on it.” With his eyes already glowing, Bruce released a ground shattering roar before his clothes tore exposing the rippling body of the monster. He climbed the building with ease, keeping his eye on the falling target. When Tony was within range, he shot out a hand easily catching him.
~*~
Gliding in midair, Doom kept his eyes fixated on the tesseract that had embedded itself into the sidewalk amidst screaming civilians. He landed a few feet away, grateful that his unbreakable armor managed to cushion his landing. With his heart racing in anticipation and his grin growing wider, he sprinted towards the glowing orb.
When he was close enough he reached out a hand to grab it, only to see it vanish in a green smoke. Stunned, Doom stood next to the crater and spun around, searching for his enemy.
“You didn’t think I’d drop the real thing, did you?”
At the sound of Loki’s voice, Doom turned his gaze upwards to watch Loki casually toss the tesseract in his hand. Frustrated with being tricked by his enemy, Doom launched himself upwards and began to climb the building one story at a time. Loki allowed Doom to reach the edge of the roof before he darted away.
In hot pursuit of his target, Doom easily jumped from building to building. With his patience reaching an end, he began throwing energy blasts towards Loki. Their chase had taken them from Downtown to Tribeca where the rooftops had changed height. Using his blasts strategically, Doom managed to steer Loki towards taller buildings.
When he reached the end of the building, Loki hesitated for a second as his eyes scanned the skyline for his next move. Utilizing his enemy’s momentary distraction, Doom aimed a blast at a water tower, exploding it on impact. The blast caught Loki off guard and as he turned he was met with torrents of water which carried him to the edge of the roof.
“I was hoping you had a better plan,” Doom remarked as he sauntered over to the coughing figure on the ground. “You look like a water logged rat.”
In lieu of an answer, Loki grinned as the tesseract was consumed with his magic. After a flash, hundreds of replicas spilled from his hand and encompassed the majority of the rooftop. Doom clenched his fists wishing for nothing more than to rip Loki apart as his eyes darted from replica to replica.
“Choose wisely.”
Ignoring the snide grin, Doom attempted to focus on the energy of the tesseract but with the identical glowing orbs around him, he couldn’t pinpoint the real artifact.
While Doom was preoccupied, Loki stood up and with a flare of energy, he dried his clothes. After adjusting his armor, Loki crossed his arms with a grin as he watched his enemy cautiously walk around.
“It’s a dangerous game you’re playing, Loki,” Doom growled as he walked amongst the replicas, putting out his hand as he searched for a surge of real energy. “You do realize that once I have the real tesseract, I will use it to enslave the one you love.”
Doom heard Loki utter a snort of disagreement. Realizing that he had struck a nerve, Doom grinned. He still had the upper hand.
“Yes . . . I can tell you love him. You don’t have to admit it; your actions speak far louder than the words you try so desperately to hide.”
A sudden gust of wind caught Doom’s attention and before he could react, Loki pushed him into a portal. Just as he was about to turn around to lash out, he noticed he was falling towards a part of New York that was miles away.
~*~
Tony was grateful that he had a light lunch earlier; otherwise he would have definitely thrown up by now. As soon as the Hulk released him, he fell on his knees and almost kissed the ground in appreciation.
“Thanks, Big Guy,” he turned to the Hulk with a smile eliciting a sound from the giant that almost sounded like a purr.
Using the butt of her gun, Natasha slammed it into the temple of one of the aliens before kicking the other one towards a broken lamppost. A few more shots and both aliens toppled to the ground in lifeless heaps. She quickly darted to give Tony a brief hug before whipping around to shoot at an alien in midair.
“Now that’s what I call multitasking.”
Natasha grinned before reloading.
“What’s your plan?”
“I’m going after him.”
Instead of berating him, Natasha understood and nodded without another word.
“What do you say, Big Guy? Will you help me?”
In response the Hulk brought his arm down allowing Tony to climb onto the creature’s back. Briefly smelling the air, the Hulk took off running with Tony holding on for dear life.

With a flick of his wrist, Loki destroyed the false artifacts before looking around for the real one. He smiled at his bluff as he picked up the real tesseract and carefully stored it in his tunic. Before he could celebrate his victory, Loki heard a crackle before he was knocked to the ground with the force of a blunt object. Reaching out his arms, Loki managed to break his fall, earning some scratches from the fragments of the broken rooftop. The inside of his skull rattled from the blow and he closed his eyes in an attempt to regain focus.
Heavy footsteps brought his pursuer closer and he didn’t need to turn around to know who it was.
“Thor,” he ground his teeth in anger.
A low metallic whine brought Mjolnir back into Thor’s hand. Slowly, Loki stood up from his kneeling position, allowing his vision to clear. Blue eyes stared at him with an intensity only matched by the bolts of lightning in the background.
“You still fight us, brother?”
“Why do you insist on that vile word!” A green blast echoed the angry shout.
The force of the blast sent Thor stumbling backwards. In an instant he readied his hammer.
“You seek to destroy this realm but why save me?”
“HA! Save you? Save you?! I will watch you crumble with this world!”
With an angry shimmer, Loki vanished from view only to reappear in front of Thor. He delivered a blow to the stunned god that sent him sprawling backwards into the water tower of an adjacent rooftop. The force of Thor hitting the cylinder caused it to break, spilling water onto the streets below.
Coughing, Thor rose to his feet and clenched his hand. A roll of thunder sounded above Loki and he turned to look at the sky. While Loki was preoccupied with watching the streams of lightening in the sky, the hammer whirled towards him and struck him in the chest.
The hammer continued moving in a horizontal direction, taking along its unwilling victim until both Mjolnir and Loki hit the side of a building. With a command the hammer returned to its owner’s hand.
Before Loki could fall to the ground below, Thor grabbed him by his tunic and threw him onto the rooftop of a lower building. Taking haggard breaths, Loki managed to stumble to his feet.
“You saved me from that white space . . . like when we were children,” Thor spoke as he cautiously walked towards Loki. He tentatively placed a hand on the heaving man’s shoulder. “Why can’t things go back to the way they were?” Thor’s blue eyes reflected his lament and despite averting his eyes, Loki could feel the sincerity. A pang of guilt tugged at his heart but he willed it away by flaring his anger.
“Oh grow up, Thor!” Grabbing Thor’s wrist, Loki threw him away. “Everything is different! I’m different! We cannot move backwards!”
“What vile force has influenced you?”
Balling his fists, Loki released a stream of green towards Thor. Leaping to the side, Thor barely avoided the blast and regretfully watched it embed itself into the opposite building, the slabs of concrete slamming into the ground near screaming civilians.
“Why can’t you accept that I have a will of my own! If you seek the root of my anger, you only need to look at yourself!”
“I have been nothing but kind and patient with you, brother!” Thor barked, feeling his tolerance drawing to an end.
“Oh, have you now? There’s your problem right there!” Loki bit back before teleporting towards the golden warrior. Anticipating the attack, Thor dropped his hammer to the ground as he captured Loki’s wrists.
“I only wanted to be your equal, but you never let me. Poor defenseless Loki! He cannot survive without the protection of his big, strong brother,” Loki spat into Thor’s face, detesting their proximity.
“As your elder brother it is my duty to protect you from the vile minds of men like Doom and the selfish desires of men like the Man of Iron!”
Verdant eyes blazed with indignation and for a moment Loki was speechless. Everything he detested most about his brother said in one simple phrase. If anger was a weapon, he had enough to jump start a nuclear bomb.
“I don’t need your protection – I have the capacity to make my own decisions! And leave Stark out of this!”
“Loki!”
At the sound of his name, Loki’s heart leaped in his chest with excitement followed by a feeling of dread.
“Tony! Why are you here?! Leave!”
The grip on his wrists got tighter and Loki turned to see cerulean eyes ignite with sparks of lightning.
“Defiler!”
In an instant Loki was thrown to the ground. Energy surged along Thor’s body before he released it towards Tony in one swift blast.
“No!” Loki’s plea died in his throat as he watched the energy hurl towards Tony. For a moment Tony felt as though his blood was running in the wrong direction and try as he might, he couldn’t will his body to move. In the last second before the blast hit him, he was enveloped in a hug.
When the dust cleared, Tony coughed as he clutched to his savior with trembling hands. He felt as though he were having a panic attack as his breath came to him in frantic gasps. Slowly, he turned up to look into the eyes of his savior.
“Tony ok?”
Shakily, he nodded towards the Hulk, who released his tight grip as he gently brought Tony to his feet. With a roar, the Hulk turned towards Thor before he barreled his way towards the stunned thunder god. Just as Thor summoned his hammer to his hand, he was grabbed and thrown off the building with the angry giant in hot pursuit.
Regaining his bearings, Tony sprinted towards Loki. He dropped to his knees and hugged Loki in relief.
“Are you ok?”
Loki returned the hug with equal fervor, stroking Tony’s back soothingly.
“I’m fine. I’m sorry I didn’t react fast enough.”
Loki’s bitter whisper only caused Tony to hold him tighter.
“It’s fine. Everything is fine.”
Slowly, Loki brought them both to a standing position before he disentangled himself from Tony’s desperate hold. Verdant eyes darted around focusing on nothing in particular.
“Loki?”
“I fear my plans have changed.”
Tony felt a sinking feeling in his stomach.

After landing in the lush green field in Central Park, Doom narrowly avoided being struck by a descending airplane. He whipped his head around and saw Clint a few feet away, aiming his arrows at the various aircraft above them.
With a flick of his wrist, Doom sent a ball of energy that knocked Clint into a nearby tree. He would have enjoyed ripping apart the human but Loki’s grin flashed before his eyes. One of his troops landed nearby and after kicking him off the hovering aircraft, Doom took to the air.
~*~
“What the hell is going on?”
Natasha winced from Fury yelling directly into her earpiece.
“Status quo! Still fighting the aliens!”

She whipped her head around to narrowly avoid a spear embedding itself into her head. Grabbing the alien’s wrists, she twisted them and aimed the spear towards its own skull, effectively ending its life.
‘That’s not what I’m talking about! S.H.I.E.L.D. agents have reported a sighting in the Financial District of a fight between the Hulk and Thor!”
“What?” Natasha brought her hand to the device in her ear, making sure she heard correctly.
“I’ve lost communication with Clint! Meanwhile, Tony –”
“Where’s Clint?!”
Her shout echoed the rapid beating of her heart.
“He was last spotted in Central Park –”
“I’m on it.”
On instinct she grabbed a nearby alien on a hovering scooter and quickly boarded the vehicle. She heard static on the other line. Fury knew where her priorities lie and for this she was grateful.
~*~
“Wait – wait!” Tony shouted with his arms raised as he moved backwards.
“I have no choice,” Loki spoke as he continued moving towards Tony. The blue scepter was pointed towards Tony like a dagger.
“This makes no sense – we’re on the same side!”
The back of his heel reached the end of the rooftop and Tony began to panic. If he jumped, he knew Loki would save him but in the end the outcome would be the same.
“Tony, please understand.”
“Understand?! You want to control me! What’s there to understand? Loki . . . please.”
Looking into the desperate auburn eyes, Loki hesitated. The glowing blue scepter shook in his hand as he recalled his earlier conversation with Doom. Before he could change his mind, he whipped the scepter towards Tony and aimed at a spot to the right of the arc reactor.
He watched Tony’s eyes widen in fear as the power of the scepter took control of his body. A blue halo appeared around the pupils of Tony’s eyes before their natural brown color turned blue. He brought his hands down as he started at Loki.
“What is your command, Master?”
