Chapter 5 ~ Plagues

((((((*remember how I told you about that really crappy edit of Kim? Here it is* ))))))

"I guess, since I'm the only one who doesn't know, I'll ask the important question here. What's going on?" I wonder.

Everyone just kind of stares at each other for a minute.

"That's it, I'm out. I'll find the door, thank you," I make it to the door Appiffa brought me in but an arrow catches between two of my fingers and I freeze.

"You almost killed me!" I yell at Clint.

"I didn't. You're forgetting who I am," Clint says calmly.

"We need you, Barton," Captain America says.

"It's Charlie," I say, "my name is Charlie."

"Charlie," Appiffa says, "I can explain what is going on but you must believe what I say."

"Considering Kim is green and has muscles bigger than me, I think I can handle it," I say leaning against the door in case I need a quick escape.

Kim grins. At least I have one fan.

Appiffa holds out her hand, closes her eyes, and mutters some weird alien stuff I don't understand. The light in the room darkens and a holographic image of space appears around the room, a massive planet directly in the center.

My eyes widen when I see the holograms are coming from Appiffa's hand.

"Asgard is frozen in time," Appiffa says, "because that's where I left it. 300 years from now, after the people of Earth have perished...."

I stop her, "wait perish? You mean die?"

Her purple eyes, which are glowing now, hit me, "yes, young Barton. Perish. A series of plagues, much like the ones that are occurring on your Earth, will hit my realm, Asgard and threaten to kill us all."

A fast motion whatever moves in on the planet, or realm I guess, which is Asgard and shows videos of the plagues hitting everyone in the realm.

"We know which plagues are next, thanks to Appiffa," Clint points out.

Appiffa avoids his thanks and moves on, "We were not ready. The attack was sudden, much like on Earth. My father and I discovered the man behind these plagues."

"You mean, will discover," Thor says, "at least for me."

"He calls himself Lǎo Wáng," Appiffa says. The realm is replaced with a photo of an older Chinese looking man with long black hair and a goatee. His eyes are closed but his sitting position clearly represents high power.

Howie raises his hand, "oh and I am supposed to let you all know that Lǎo Wáng translates into Pharaoh."

Well that was random.

"Computer brain, sorry," Howie says, "I remember everything. I'm like a cyborg."

So you told us. You said you had expertise with computers.... Except you forgot to mention the computer in your brain! That would have been really helpful.
