"Wow, Loki is one hell of a drama queen, isn't he? Also, why does it sound like he is trying to suppress his British accent?" Lorna muttered to me as we watched him walk (slightly uncomfortably) into the center of the town, dressed in the Destroyer armor that seemed a little bit too tight in the groin region for him.

"He seems like a clown to me. Are we sure Loki is Thor's little brother?" Darcy wondered out loud in a confused voice.

After the agents from Shield had evacuated everyone to the other side of town with the excuse that a powerful cyclone was heading our way, Darcy decided to accompany me and Lorna since she thought that she would be the safest with us instead of them. She had tried to bring Erik and Jane with her too, but Erik didn't want to take any chances with his safety while Jane was just too deep in love with Thor to even think of leaving him and prioritizing her own safety.

"He is adopted," I answered with a straight face before spreading my senses around the town. I could sense about fifty Frost Giants atop white polar bear-like beasts struggling to adapt to the heat of the desert and the sun while searching for Thor.

It looked like Loki of this universe was either extremely arrogant or an immense idiot since he was stupid enough to bring frost giants that only lived and thrived in the extreme cold to New Mexico of all places and that too during the day. Even without us doing anything, those overgrown ice popsicles would be half-dead before the sunset. Well at least, Loki was still smart enough to wear the Destroyer armor to get access to its full power instead of just controlling it remotely.

"Brother, I am here as you wanted. Just don't hurt any humans, it's me who you want. Even though I never realized it, I seem to have been the reason for all your suffering these past centuries. You can do whatever you want with me, Loki, but these people are innocent. Let them go." Thor bravely came out, still wearing his 'I ❤️ Milfs' t-shirt while Jane stood a couple of meters behind him with a worried look on her face. "Please brother, whatever I have done to wrong you, you can kill me to get your revenge, but don't drag anyone else into this." Thor pleaded as he walked closer and closer to Loki.

"Wait, this wasn't the plan. He was only supposed to try and bring Loki to the Light side again, wasn't he? Is Thor committing suicide or something...?" Darcy couldn't help but exclaim out loud in surprise but before she could even come to a conclusion, the faceplate of Loki's armor closed, and a golden beam of explosive light shot out toward Thor, visually almost roasting the God of Thunder alive.

"NOOOO" Jane was the first one to react as she tried running towards Thor in an attempt to save him but the heat radiating from the beam alone was enough to keep her away while discouraging the Sif and the Warrior Three who had just arrived after killing a couple of Frost Giants nearby from approaching him as well.

"SHIT! Atem, aren't you going to help him? He will become the god of roasted skin and burnt hair instead of the god of Thunder if this continues." Darcy said in a panic.

"I don't really need to. Something else is going to save him." I answered before pointing at a projectile flying toward Thor with blinding speed all the while a dark thunderstorm was forming in the sky.

"Seems like his hammer finally got over his performance issues. He can hopefully finally get it up again." Lorna chuckled at her own joke before looking at me and Darcy, "What? He really was having performance issues. Can't a girl crack a dirty joke anymore?" She complained like we had wronged her somehow.
