GHOSTLY AVENGER

Chapter 8: Stuttgart Confrontation.

On board the Quinjet, Steve goes soldier mode as he discuss the plan on how to capture Loki.

"Okay, here's the plan. Kid, I want you to follow my lead. I want you to evacuate the citizens. I'll handle Loki." Steve said, which earn a scowl from Danny.

"Fine, but if anything should happen, I'm switching to Plan B." Danny said.

"Don't underestimate him, Cap. He has been through a lot and has experience fighting bad guys, or evil ghosts." Natasha said.

"He's only 18 years old. I'm pretty sure he's never been in an actual war before." Steve said.

"Yeah I have! You wanna see all my battle scars?" Danny asked.

'What have you been through, kid?' Steve thought.

"Danny is no push-over. He knows how to handle situations. Don't forget all the footage of his fights we've both seen. Not to mention 18 year old kids fought in the war." Natasha said.

'Thanks, Romanoff.' Danny thought.

...

Night has fallen on the rest of the flight. Meanwhile, down at the gala event at Stuttgart, Germany, Loki and his henchmen has cause chaos. Loki killed a man so he can carve his eye to retrieve something he has in order to use the Tesseract. Afterwards, Loki walks out of the gala, his outfit suddenly changing into his Asgardian armor. The pitiful humans around him are in turmoil. Suddenly, a police car approaches the scene, but the god of mischief fires his scepter, making it flip over. The crowd suddenly becomes horrified as duplicates of Loki form around them, trapping them. Loki starts to address the crowd.

"Kneel before me." Loki said, but the crowd continues to scream in horror. Loki raise his scepter and forcefully gets their attention. "I said, KNEEL!"

This was able to get the crowd to kneel down before him.

"Is noth this simpler? Is this not your natural state? Its unspoken truth of humanity, that you crave subjugation. The bright lure of freedom diminishes your life's joy in a mad scramble for power, for identity. You were made to be ruled. In the end, you will always kneel." Loki said to the crowd.

Suddenly, an elderly man has had enough of this madman and bravely stood up.

"Not to men like you." the elderly man said.

"There are no men like me." Loki said.

"There are always men like you." the elderly man said.

Loki then raise his scepter and points it at the man with deadly intention.

"Look to your elder, people. Let him be an example." Loki said.

Loki fires his scepter at the man, only to be blocked off by Captain America's shield and deflects the blast, knocking Loki to the ground.

"You know, the last time I was in Germany, and saw a man standing above everybody else, we ended up disagreeing." Steve said referring to his old foe once known as the Red Skull.

"The soldier." Loki spat before getting up. "The man out of time."

"I'm not the one who's out of time." Steve said.

Suddenly, duplicates of Danny suddenly appear to challenge Loki's duplicates, while the real Danny makes himself visible and points his glowing fists towards Loki.

"You were saying about time, which by the way, it's something I know. You might wanna listen to the Cap." Danny said.

Loki glanced at Danny before saying...

"So desperate to protect this world that you depend on draugrs for help? The legendary prophecy will do him no good."

Before either Steve or Danny could respond to Loki's comment, the Quinjet appears, its Gatling Gun aiming at Loki.

"Loki, drop the weapon and stand down." Natasha said over the Quinjet's loud speaker.

Suddenly, Loki fires his scepter at the Quinjet, which managed to evade. Steve responds by throwing his shield at him while Danny's duplicates charges at Loki's duplicates while the real Danny starts evacuating the civilians. Steve gives a right hook to Loki, who responds by knocking him to the ground with his scepter. Steve tries to throw his shield at him again, but Loki this time manage to knock the shield away. Loki managed to over-power his opponent.

"Kneel." Loki spatted.

"Not today!" Steve said as he turn the tide with a powerful roundhouse kick.

Meanwhile, Danny's duplicates has managed to blast Loki's duplicates before disappearing into the real Danny, who has finished evacuating the citizens. Danny managed to see Steve having trouble with Loki. Danny charge at him and ecto-blast him. Loki gets surprised by Danny's power. Both Danny and Steve starts fighting him, but both becomes over-powered. Meanwhile, on board the Quinjet, Natasha is unable to get a good aim on Loki.

"The guy's all over the place." Natasha muttered.

Suddenly, her headset and the Quinjet's system's is hacked, hearing AC/DC's 'Shoot to Trill'.

"Agent Romanoff. You miss me?" said a familiar man's voice.

Natasha smirked, knowing who that is.

'Stark.' Natasha thought.

Danny, Steve, and Loki look up to see where the music is coming from, before Iron Man appear in the battle and blasted Loki with his repulsors, knocking him to the ground. Iron Man lands next to Steve and Danny, weapons trained at Loki.

"Make your move, Reindeer Games." Tony said.

Seeing that he's outnumbered, Loki raises his hands in surrender, as his armor disappeared, replaced by his simple green Asgardian tunic.

"Good move." Tony said.

"Mr. Stark." Steve said, out of breath.

"Captain." Tony said.

Danny then use his telekinesis powers to get a hold on Loki.

"Good move, Casper." Tony said as his face plate lifts up.

Danny gave a smirk at that nickname.

"Thanks, Tin Can." Danny said, making Tony grinned.

'I'm gonna enjoy having witter banter with this kid.' Tony thought.

Afterwards, the three heroes drags Loki to the awaiting Quinjet.
