As Loki,Skullora,and Firestar made there way through Mirkwood,Loki begin to gain a seance of conference.
And after a while he wondered how he had stumbled upon this realm to begin with,"Just do not question your luck," he thought hopefully"I even doubt that my watchful friend Hiemdall knows of these lands."(But of corse he was wrong,Hiemdall knows everything that goes on in every realm,no matter how little known it is.)
By the way what happened to the Avengers?Well let's find out!
In a building in the middle of New York know as the Avengers Tower a group of heroes were hard at work locating Loki.
Bruce was operating an online map that was projected onto the wall.On it were many small,dark green markers that represented the places where Loki had been spotted before.With a click of a button Bruce added a new marker to New Zealand.
"I just don't understand,"Clint said frustratedly,"how hard can it be to find a guy that looks like he is going to Comic con."At the moment Clint was sitting in one of Tony's good chairs (that rolled)with his feet on the meeting table and a pack of rubber bands in his hand.One by one he shot them at a target hanging on the wall over Tony's head, hitting the center every time.
Natasha rolled her eyes,"Well it would be easier if all of you could actually help." she spat.Clint only looked up and smiled."Hey,you just tell me who to shoot and I'll do it."he said as he shot one more rubber band that misfired hitting Tony in the eye.
"What the Hell man!"Tony yelled immediately grabbing his eye."Sorry dude,"Clint managed to say,it was taking every ounce of restraint he had not to bust out laughing.
Now Tony was pissed,he walked over to Clint and bitch slapped him as hard as he possibly could,leaving a red hand print on the side of Clint's face. And to be honest,with the way he had been acting Clint really deserved it.
Natasha covered her face,trying to hide the fact that she was about to die of laughter.And Bruce,who was unable to control it,snickered loudly.Even Thor was chuckling but he made no effort to hide it.
The laughter only encouraged Clint who turned around and knocked Tony to the ground as he was walking away.
Then a giant slap fight broke out and the team(who was dying for a good show)did nothing to stop it.In fact they started making bets about who would win.
"HEY,THATS ENOUGH!"Steve yelled as he walked in the door.He had been downstairs trying to think of a plan when he heard Tony hit the floor.
Almost immediately everyone stopped cheering but the fight continued and they went from slapping to punching and kicking.So Steve calmly walked over and separated them by pushing them both to the ground."I said that's enough,you both need to stop and act you age,actually that goes for all of you!"he stated sternly mostly referring to Thor,who had started the bet making.
Tony let a smirk creep across his busted lips as he went into full on sarcastic mode."Says the guy who is like 96 years old,I mean come on we're just 18 so technically we are acting our age." Clint nodded in agreement as he rubbed his now bruised jaw.
"Oh come on just sit down and behave yourselves."Natasha said with a grin.Quietly Clint and Tony sat back down in their chairs as if nothing had happened.
"So Bruce do we have a lead?"Steve questioned taking a seat."Actually I might have something."Bruce said proudly pointing at the spot where the marker was placed."We've been looking at the place where Loki disappear for hours,but I think Tony and I finally cracked it."he then pointed at Tony who was more than happy to stand up and take over.
"J.A.R.V.I.S, will you do the honors?" he asked politely."Certainly sir." J.a.r.v.i.s's voice echoed. "There!"Tony triumphantly said slamming his hands down on the table as a huge map of MiddleEarth popped up on the screen.
"This may sound a little ridiculous but we think Loki went to MiddleEarth. Now before you shot down our idea let me say this...just stay with me for a second."Bruce said over his glasses at Natasha and Clint who had busted out laughing."Well ummm...from the evidence that we found it looks like he was running and suddenly fell into a hole.If Loki had fell into a normal and was able to climb out of it he would still show up on radar.But you see the problem is...well ummm...he just vanished."he finished throwing his hands in the air.
"What in the hell does that have to do with MiddleEarth?" Clint said still trying to catch his breath from laughing so hard."Well I remembered that earlier Goldylocks mentioned something about hidden short cuts into other realms.Maybe Loki found one by accident and ended up in another realm...just a guess." Tony shrugged his shoulders with that same know-it-all look on his face."I think your brain is fried...just a guess." Natasha said with a mocking tone.
"Perhaps the angry green one and the man of iron are on to something,their idea seems very logical."Thor shrugged.
"Even if they are right how are we going to get to MiddleEarth?Wherever the hell that is."A man with shoulder long,dark brown hair a shiny metal arm,and a raspy voice said bluntly.A huge smile automatically spread across Steve's face,"Glad you could make it!"The man returned the smile as he took a chair that was closest to Steve."Glad to be here,you saved me from dying of boredom."The rest of the team looked confused,except for Natasha,who seemed uninterested.
Some how he had managed to get past all of Tony's security systems completely.
"Steve...who's you friend?"Tony said. "James Buckanin Barns, but I prefer to be called Bucky."Bucky held out his normal hand towards Tony, who respectfully shook it."So your the famous Bucky Barns that Steve never shuts up about."Bruce laughed."Well it's good we have you,later on we might need someone with your kind of tracking skills."Natasha glanced over at Bucky with a sly smile,"Of coarse that is if your up for it."Bucky laughed, "You know that I am."
"Ok,seriously,how do we get to MiddleEarth?"Clint said curiously.
"Why do we not just take the Bifrost?" Thor suggested."Yeah,because that sounds like such a reasonable thing to do."Tony huffed."I kid you not."Thor said with a frustrated tone."Fine,take us to the Bifrost so that we can just catch Loki and get back to our normal lives."Clint groaned."Then it's settled, we fallow Thor."Steve stated.
Before anyone could disagree Thor had already ran out the door yelling "TO ASGARD!"
