Chapter 49: Courting Death

Chapter 49: Courting Death

With his quest for the Ancient One finished and having received a massive magical power-up, Jake teleported himself along with Thor and his new Queen back to Tony's house in Malibu. When they arrived, Jake saw Tony right where he had left him, just hanging out in front of his pool with a Martini in his hand.

The scene of somebody teleporting right in front of Tony would have completely freaked him out just a few days ago, but now he was used to it as he just gave Jake a casual wave when he appeared. "Whoa, Jake, where the hell have you been? You've been gone almost the entire day, man."

"I've been in Death Valley," Jake said dryly.

"Death Valley?" Tony questioned, "Why the hell would you want to go there? It's like over 100° there right now."

"It was 120°," Emma commented.

"Yikes, my point exactly. And who's the babe?" Tony asked. She looked a bit familiar to him. "Wait, I know you. Emma Frost, of Cold Steel Industries right? I heard you went missing over a month ago," Tony said, surprised. Most the business world figured she was dead after so long. Although, everyone thought he was dead after being stranded in a terrorist desert cave for 3 months as well...

"I was kidnapped by an evil supervillain," Emma bitterly responded. "It was a whole thing..." She was still a bit traumatized over it and didn't want to explain.

Tony just gave her an understanding look, remembering his time of being kidnapped by the Ten Rings. "Fair enough, and who are you, Point Break?" he said to Thor jokingly. Thor, of course, did not get the reference and just gave him a confused look before he responded, "I am Thor," he said proudly, "Prince of Asgard and its Future King!"

"Oh, so you're the guy those angels tore up half the city looking for. Were you kidnapped by an evil supervillain too?" Tony asked him.

"Angels?" Thor questioned, confused. "And yes, I was also kidnapped by an evil supervillain, to my shame. Then the villain turned out to be a robot, and vengeance was denied to me! I will have my vengeance one day though, for being forced to eat all those beans!" He declared loudly.

"What? Beans?" Tony looked at Jake and Emma confused. Jake didn't know what beans Thor was talking about. Emma did, but she chose not to comment about it... "And by angels, I'm talking about those five angels that tore up Los Angeles trying to find and kill you, Thor?"

Thor continued to give Tony a puzzled look as he had no idea what the man was talking about. Weren't all the Angels trapped in Heaven by his father? Why would they be out trying to harm him on Midgard of all places?' Thor wondered if this man was touched in the head and just making up stories...

Seeing his expression, Jake just let out a sigh. Jake realized that Thor had been hit by a car and knocked unconscious almost immediately upon coming to Earth. Furthermore, he had already been thrown through the Bifrost before the angels had revealed themselves and attacked everyone back on Asgard. Thor was completely out of the loop... He was going to be really shocked when he found out his people were at war while he was busy in time out on Midgard.

"So, you found Thor," Tony said to Jake, "What are your plans next?" It wasn't that Tony wanted Jake to be on his way or anything like that, he was just used to living the bachelor lifestyle, and having an almost 17-year-old kid crashing with him for the past couple of days was kind of cramping his style a little bit.

"Well, first–"

*grumble*

Jake's stomach growled as he realized hadn't eaten any food all day. "-First, why don't we get some food, and then it's kind of been a long day for me, so I was planning to cash in early. I've actually received quite a massive magical power-up, and I feel like I can get Thor and me back to Asgard now." He was itching to go and check on Serafall as soon as possible as well! He didn't feel safe leaving her body in Asgard if they were currently at war. He'd prefer to bring her back to Earth.
