(Brock POV)

Thunder rumbled in the gloomy night sky as the sound of thick raindrops striking the mud hit my ears. Wind and rain whip around me as I stare down at Thor's unconscious body.

Looking up at the raining night sky, an unsatisfied sigh escaped my lips.

The fight was...disappointing. I know that Thor's powers are currently debuffed but I still expected more from him, given how he ran through the other agents like they were kids.

As the raindrops slide down my masked face, a familiar powerful vibration rushes through me. I pull up the sleeve of my shirt and see my markings emitting dark crimson energy.

The feeling of power radiates through my body and a small smile comes to my lips as I sense myself getting stronger.

But after a minute the feeling fades and my markings return to normal.

*Knock**Knock*

As the sensation of gaining power vanishes, I feel Cyttorak knock on our link. Opening the connection I hear the cosmic being's deep voice sound in my head.

"What is this...thing, child? It seems like a mortal but has a faint godlike aura locked within him."

Returning my gaze down to the body lying limply in the mud I answered, "This is Thor, Norse God of Thunder."

Cyttorak chuckles mockingly at my words.

"This is what counts as a God nowadays? Back in my time, this thing would barely qualify to be an acolyte, let alone a supreme being."

A puzzled look came to my face at Cyttorak's words. Granted Thor was kinda weak right now but he was still one of the Avenger's heavy hitters.

Before I could respond, sounds of sprinting footsteps filled my keen ears and I could feel a pair of eyes on me.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

Closing the link, I looked up to see a hooded figure taking a position on the watchtower above. The figure points a sniper rifle toward my direction.

"I suggest you don't point that at me unless you want to end up like him!" I yell up at the figure while gesturing towards Thor's body.

The figure hesitates but eventually lowers his weapon as more agents, led by Phil Coulson, converge on my location.

Coulson comes up to me and looks between Thor's body in the mud and myself.

"Great work, Captain Rumlow!" He pats me on the back before focusing all his attention on the unconscious body.

More S.H.I.E.L.D Agents move in, guns trained on Thor, surrounding him as Coulson activates his radio.

"Ground units move in, and take the Prisoner. This show's over."

Loki lets go of my shoulder and turn his back on me.

"The burden of the throne has fallen to me now." He says.

"A-am I allowed to go home now?" I ask.

Loki shakes his head sadly.

"The truce with Jotunheim is conditional upon your exile."

"But couldn't we find a way to-"

"Mother has forbidden your return."

His words were like a knife in my heart but I just nod and lower my head, beaten.

"This is goodbye, brother. I'm so sorry."

"No, I'm sorry. Loki... thank you for coming here."

Loki turns back towards me and gives me a heartwarming smile.

"Nothing could have stopped me."

The door opens and Coulson enters the room again but seems to take no notice of Loki being there.

"Farewell, brother," Loki says before vanishing into thin air.

"Goodbye," I respond sadly.

"Goodbye? I just got back." Coulson says while looking at me perplexed.

"Now. Where did we leave off?"

(Omniscient POV)

Agents and Scientists work to repair the damaged area around Mjolnir. They take no notice of Loki as he steps up beside the hammer. He stares at it, intrigued, wondering.

Can he do it?

He reaches down, and tries to lift it, but can't. He lets it go, eyes it with contempt, then steps away.

He gestures with his arms. An odd Green and gold light rises from the ground, enveloping him, then he disappears.

In the distance, hidden under the cover of shadows in the base, a creepy painted skull mask watches as Loki disappears.

A power-hungry look can be seen in the hazel eyes beneath the mask.
