"So let me get this straight. You ran off for 4 weeks and ended up getting even more power than you already have to defeat and organization that's probably less powerful than we think? Just saying, I think you overdid it, Antlers."
Loki gave Stark a dirty look.
"I don't know why I have these powers. The sorceress....She said that I would undergo a series of trials...."
Thor raised an eyebrow and leaned forward on the couch.
"Trials?" He asked.
"Yes! Trials!" Loki exclaimed, glad to have someone's attention.
"She said that I would need these powers to beat the trials and defeat H.O.P.E., but refused to elaborate."
Natasha set the gun that she had been polishing down on the coffee table.
"This doesn't make any sense. What makes you so special that you get all of these abilities to beat trials?"
Loki shrugged, but as he did, his eyes widened and he looked nauseous.
"Brother, are you alrigh-"
He didn't get to finish, because Loki let out a blast of magic from his hands that completely obliterated the living room. The Avengers and Brunnhilde were thrown backward, leaving Loki to stand in the center of the rubble in shock.
"What the hell was that?!" Clint shouted, slowly getting to his feet from the other side of the demolished room.
Tony and Bruce shared a knowing look as they helped each other to their feet.
"You. Me. Banner. R&D lab. Now. We'll deal with the hole in the base later. Let's go." The billionaire said, his comment directed at the horrified asgardian.
Loki, not knowing what else to do, followed after the two scientists.
They made him sit on a metal table while poking and prodding at him with scientific looking devices.
"I don't see how this is going to help the fact that I literally just became a living grenade."
Stark pulled back the leather covering his arm and jabbed a needle into his skin for a blood test, causing Loki to jerk slightly, making the needle rip through his skin. The trickster grimaced.
"You obviously don't have full control over your new abilities yet, which explains the explosion. If we can find a way to stabilize your powers, we can teach you to control them."
Loki stopped suddenly, every muscle in his body going taunt.
"Run." He gritted out through clenched teeth.
Not a moment later, he exploded again, green blasts firing everywhere and knocking the scientists back. Equipment was destroyed, mangled, and disintegrated as it was met with the full force of the trickster's power. When it was over, Loki was out of breath.
"I think we need to try I different strategy." Remarked Bruce as he mourned his iPad, which had split in half.
"What we need is a place where we can work on this problem safely without anything getting destroyed. Somewhere strong enough to hold even the biggest beasts...." Tony said, an idea forming in his mind.
Loki's eyes widened as he caught on.
"Are you suggesting that we....." He trailed off as he saw the look on the billionaire's face.
There was no stopping Tony now.
Bruce, Loki, and Tony darted off for the S.H.I.E.L.D. base, Loki staying off to the side of the road and avoiding pedestrians in case he blew up again.
