Essential Avengers: Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars #10-12

February, 1985

DEATH TO THE BEYONDER!

Wow, Doom has been beaten to hell in this story, huh?

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer etc etc.

Anyway, lets get to it.

Last times in Secret Wars: Some amazingly powerful being from Beyond the universe called the Beyonder kidnaps a bunch of heroes, villains, shades thereof, and chunks of random planets to put on a big toy commercial where action figures can bonk off each other.

The X-Men ditched the other heroes to team up with Magneto to do their own thing, as they’re wont to do. But still largely helped the other heroes fight the villains. And didn’t even do villain shit even though Magneto advocated for it.

There have been a bunch of fights back and forth between the groups but most recently, Captain America’s group of heroes stormed Doombase and took down the villain group then had to rush to back up the X-Men in dealing with Galactus who wants to eat the planet, as he is wont to do.

Doom busted out of the cell the heroes stuck him in to pull off his master plan with the help of solid sound man Klaw while Reed Richards had a crisis of weird conscience as he became convinced that maybe Galactus should eat the planet. But he eventually helped the other heroes drive Galactus off-planet where the hat horned purple planet eater started to eat his own spaceship, with Doom planning to steal that tasty snack.

And that brings us to now.

Where things are getting super freaky.

Reed Richards’ skeleton viscerally upsets me.

But as Galactus’ ship turns from Mobius ship to energy cloud, the cloud gets ripped away from Galactus and streams towards Doombase.

Captain America sends Captain Marvel to Doombase to check if Doom is behind this Total Doom Move and she zips over to determine, yup, Doom is pulling a total Doom right now.

He’s got himself strapped to a thing under a bunch of Klaw lenses injecting PHENOMENAL COSMIC POWER right into his itty bitty body.

Captain Marvel is going to zip back over to let Captain America and Mr. Fantastic know whats going on but Professor X chimes in her brain that he’ll save them some time by setting up a psychic conference call between her and Reed.

Meanwhile, Doctor Doom finishes consuming the aggregate energy of a spaceship the size of a solar system and trips out a little on omnipotence.

Doom: “By the dark gods! My least whim alters the world around me! Such is the power coursing within me that stone and steel are wisps of nothing which bend and transform in slavish obedience to my merest stray thought!”

Just say no to phenomenal cosmic power.

Also, some omniscience, which lets him see his own brains and into the souls of the people in Doombase.

Annnd. He spots Captain Marvel. Womp womp.

When the psychic connection between her and Xavier is suddenly cut off, the heroes pile into the X-Men’s wrecked ship to fly to Doombase and save Captain Marvel.

Hm. They’ve really been back and forth. They were all just at Doombase and then they came here and now they’re going back to Doombase.

Since the ship is wrecked, Magneto just propels it with MASTERY OF MAGNET and Cap(tain America) praises him for living up to his hype.

Which sets Magneto off on a rant.

Magneto: “I gather, Captain America, that you would have preferred that I fail! Or... was that remark, perhaps, intended to be a ‘well done’ for which I should humble thank you.”

Captain America: “At ease, mister!”

Magneto: “Allies should be ‘at ease’ with one another! What troubles you? Is it my awesome power? Are you jealous? Afraid? Or is it merely because I am a mutant that you are not ‘at ease’?”

Captain America: “Now that you mention it, the fact that you tried to kill all of us here several times as part of various evil schemes for world conquest is pretty hard to forget entirely!”

This sort of feels like Magneto is antsy because he hasn’t been villaining as much as he likes. Or like him going ‘today I shall cause problems on purpose.’

But, whoops, Cap says that he doesn’t have a problem with the X-Men which sets off Wolverine on a rant about how Captain America doesn’t do enough for mutants.

Geez, its like the time he unmasked a governmental conspiracy by Richard Nixon to use a mutant powered UFO to take over America doesn’t even count.

Wolverine accuses Cap of not laying off Magneto even though he’s been helpful. I’ll note that all Cap did was tell Magneto good job which Magneto decided was a slight.

Meanwhile, over at Doombase where Doom likes to Doom, Doom is pondering what to do now.

He is now powerful enough to wipe out everyone on Battleworld with a wave of his hand and easily win this Secret Wars. But he’s already so powerful, what could he possible ask the Beyonder for?

Doom: “Are those dust-mote heroes truly my enemies? Or... is there now but one foe in all existence worthy of Doom? The Beyonder himself!”

Mostly because he exists and is more powerful than Doom and that simply cannot do.

Like, Doom notes that he already has all the power he could ever want but there’s someone over outside the universe who has more power so Doom wants it. Even though the power he do have is messing him up.

Truly Doom in a nutshell.

Hm. Is it odd that everyone just decides that the Beyonder is male based on nothing? He does decide to be male when he manifests on Earth in Secret Wars 2 but there’s no basis for the assumption here.

But we have toys to sell so Doom upgrades his armor.

This was another request from Mattel, for Doom (and Iron Man, hence the upgrade he gets from Mr. Fantastic) to be given high-tech costumes.

I personally think they just didn’t want to make capes. Notably, there was never a Thor toy.

In-universe, the new armor is a secret weapon to use against the Beyonder, based on Galactus’ machine and the data Doom got scanning the Beyonder in issue 1.

The heroes but into Doombase to find no one to fight. All the villains are still locked up and Doom is nowhere to be seen. They find Captain Marvel, frozen in light form like a hologram.

Then a massive KRAKABOOOM! shakes the fortress as DOOM goes to confront the Beyonder.

The Beyonder: “Stop! You cannot approach me!”

Doom: “Then approach me, coward -- on your knees, if you have knees! Come! Cringe before your master! Grovel before Doom!”

The conflict starts to shake Doombase apart and a big ol rock falls on Reed’s lower torso and knocks the wind out of him.

The monitors in Doombase also shows that the destruction is worldwide, causing devastation to Zsaji’s village, and doing her an injury.

I assume Denver is also affected. I really want that miniseries focusing on Denverians during Secret Wars.

Colossus tries to tell Johnny that Zsaji has been hurt but Johnny’s attentions are elsewhere.

Human Torch: “I -- I’ve got no time for a chippie now! Reed’s hurt! I’ll send her a card later!”

Geez, Johnny.

Anyway, the fight between DOOM and the Beyonder is so so devastating that its threatening to snuff out the sun.

Which, if nothing else, is impressively bonkers.

But wherever Doom falters, the Beyonder doubles his assault.

Turns out that absorbing the energy of a spaceship the size of a solar system doesn’t make you a match for a guy that can casually wipe out a galaxy.

Doom: “Th-thus -- ? Thus falls Doom? No! No! What is pain to one such as I? I -- I will shut it out. Other men fall prey to the very spectre of death... when her cold embrace seems imminent... they simply swoon into her arms! But I... I am Doom! I -- I deny you, death! Victor von Doom must not die!”

He says this after his leg falls off. For the sake of context.

The world-shaking pauses and an image of Doom appears before the assembled heroes. Trying to come off as confident but blatantly holding his hat.

Doom: “Greetings! I am Doctor Doom! ... Though I am far more than the being you once knew! Indeed, I have transcended mortality -- and yet, I am your champion -- fighting for your sakes! I am about to crush the Beyonder!”

“The Beyonder, in his cosmic arrogance abducted us all and brought us here to do battle for his amusement! ‘Slay your enemies...!’ He said -- but in truth, he is the real enemy!”

“While he can reach us, our universe is not safe from his manipulations! He must be utterly defeated and sealed away beyond the portal before -- or destroyed! In the name of all who exist in our universe, I, Doom, have dared to attack the Beyonder!”

“The battle has gone well. Even now, the Beyonder cringes in terror, marshalling his failing strength against my final assault! Hence, this lull in the strife -- which has allowed me to appear to you and offer you the chance to share in my glorious conquest. Lend me your power! Hasten his certain defeat! Come! Who will join me against our common foe? You have but to touch my hand! Who shall be first?”

“To him, after our victory, I shall grant power beyond measure -- with which to further his noble purposes, of course! You know I speak the truth! You feel it, do you not?”

I mean, Doom has a point. The Beyonder IS the real enemy. If the heroes refuse to kill anyone, the Beyonder is never going to let them go home. Unless this is a secret test of character but nothing I’ve seen would lead me in that direction.

It’s just. Its Doom. Who would trust him with EVEN MORE PHENOMENAL COSMIC POWER?

Magneto immediately steps forward to offer his power to Doom’s service (womp womp) but he meets Xavier’s gaze and hesitates.

Long enough for several Avengers to tackle him away from Doom.

Proving his claim that the fight is definitely in the bag, Doom can’t maintain his GoFundMe hologram and fades away.

Hawkeye, one of the Avengers that tackled Magneto, starts yelling at the X-Men about the company they keep and what it will take for them to realize Magneto is a dick.

But Captain America interrupts Clint. He says that everyone was tempted by what Doom was offering and goes so far as to speculate that Doom was applying some sort of mind control to them and that Magneto just got the biggest dose.

This is all pretty unsubstantiated but he also does point out that Magneto hesitated to grab Doom’s hand and dammit that counts for something.

Meanwhile, Doom is having a bad time.

Trying to crowdfund a Beyonder defeat having not met its goal by the deadline, Doom is at the mercy of the Beyonder.

But the Beyonder is a curious cuss.

I mean, obviously. Why put on a Secret War unless you’re bored and curious.

The Beyonder starts prying into Doom’s brain and forces Doom to remember his ENTIRE BACKSTORY so he can watch.

You probably know it. Roma youth. His mom killed for witchcraft and her soul trapped by Mephisto. Doom studies magic and science to try to contact her. Makes a hellevator device that blows up in his face.

The Beyonder pries into Doom’s desires for: power over the destinies of other men, for freedom for his mom’s spirit, and for his putting on the piping hot mask face to be restored.

All these desires fascinate the Beyonder and he takes his dissection of the Beyonder to an unfortunately literal level and starts flaying Doom to peep his organs.

Meanwhile, the biggest shock yet hits Battleworld and Doombase starts shaking apart.

Captain America goes to free the villains trapped in their cells and finds Wolverine there who agrees that they shouldn’t leave the villains to die in cages, no matter what they’ve done. Magneto is also helping evacuate the captured villains from the medical wing.

Wolverine: “Don’t take this wrong... But you’re a better man than I gave you credit for! I’m an attacker an’ you’re a defender -- but we’re both soldiers! I’m beginnin’ to think you got room in your high-falutin’ ideals for all people... don’tcha -- ? Even if they’re mutants!”

Captain America: “Some of my best friends are people!”

Hah!

Anyway, RIP Doombase. You had a name and that’s more than I can say of the initial hero base or Magneto’s U-fort.

The shaking stops and a glowing orb of light floats down from space in front of the collected heroes.

Oh my god! The rest of the characters are 4-inch figures but Doom is rocking 24 inches and full articulation!

The heroes prepare to fight the Giant-Sized Doctor Doom but Doom bwoop bwoop bwoops back down to their scale and explains that absorbing the Beyonder caused him to be big because of reasons but he’s got a better handle on it now.

Its not shown on panel but remember Doom had his secret anti-Beyonder weapon hidden inside his armor and the Beyonder got real close when he was dissecting Doom. Which Doom regained consciousness during. So that’s how he did it.

Doom: “First, know you these things... The Beyonder no longer exists... and Doom has been reborn! Thus, have two evils come to an end! There is no enemy left to fight! THE WAR IS OVER!”

Caption: “Nonetheless, we strongly suggest that you read the next issue of Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars on sale in thirty days!!”

Hah.

March, 1985

... AND DUST TO DUST!

I’ll give Marvel Super Heroes TM Secret Wars TM #11 this. It promises and teases THE FACE OF DOOM right on the cover and dammit, it delivers.

Gaze upon his generic attractiveness. He looks like Peter Parker having a wild eyebrow day.

I suppose the real surprise is that he fixed up his scarred face, which puts him two checkmarks into his three greatest desires.

He’s the supreme being in the universe and he’s got a face to match.

In a very reassuring manner, Doom tells the assembled heroes that he could destroy them all with a thought and then doesn’t bother destroying them.

Over in the distance, the freed villains see Doom talking with the heroes and Absorbing Man decides that Doom is selling out to the heroes. The other villains get their dander up at this and debate going over and kicking Doom’s ass.

Volcana: “I don’t know what to think, Owie! Doom is the one who made me into Volcana which is wonderful -- but, gee, he does seem to be double-crossing us!”

Molecule Man: “And I had such faith in him! I believe in him! I -- I’m furious!”

Volcana: “Now, Owie, remember your analyst said it wasn’t good to get overwrought!”

Molecule Man: “I don’t care what she said! I’m going to kill that lying, two-faced, rotten fink! Do you hear me, Doom? The Molecule Man is going to kill you!”

Then Molecule Man flips up several billion tons of the planet’s crust so he can have a conversation with Doom.

Doom just shows Molecule Man the foundations of eternity, the secrets of the universe, how all things work so that Molecule Man can realize that he is the second mightiest in the universe, after Doom.

Doom: “Think! Every molecule, every iota of matter in the cosmos answers to our whim! And all the forces which govern substance bend to your will -- for matter and energy are one and the same! The only limits on your power are those which you have imposed upon yourself, subconsciously because of self-doubt... self-hate... fear! Open your mind to the majesty of your power, Owen Reece! Accept your destiny... and fear no more!”

Molecule Man: “I -- I can control organic molecules! I can do... anything!”

Well.

This bodes something.

Doom then takes off and an amazed Molecule Man declares that he’s now the leader of the villain group. And considering he can peel the planet’s crust in a fit of pique, nobody really wants to say nay.

Molecule Man apparently didn’t want to hurt anyone so when he peeled up the crust, it somehow didn’t hurt any of the heroes. Just relocated them very insistently. Although if they stayed put they’d suffocate from the thin atmosphere.

They return to Doombase, which is somehow still standing. But aside from recapping the series, they really don’t know what to do until Doom makes himself known again.

The villains retreat to the suburb of Denver, Colorado and to the apartment belonging to Marsha Rosenberg (Volcana).

They decide that they don’t actually care about the Secret Wars anymore and just want to go home. And Molecule Man, being a good leader, decides to make this happen for everyone.

Man. I hope none of Denver’s population went wandering outside suburb limits before Molecule Man domed the suburb and chucked it into space.

The heroes spot it happening on their instruments (and because a chunk of planet being ejected into space causes a rumble) but there’s nothing they can really do about it. So Cap suggests everyone sleep on it.

Colossus can’t sleep because he keeps thinking about how deeply he is in love with Zsaji. So he ditches to zip to her village on an air jetski.

Missing a blob of light enter the Doombase and possess the Hulk.

Possessed Hulk lumbers around the base like a sleepwalker, being found by Spider-Woman who can’t sleep for worrying about her hometown of Denver.

She tries to stop Hulk with her psychic webs but he busts through and shoves her to the ground. The weird light blob goes from Hulk to Spider-Woman.

Hulk goes back to sleep and possessed Spider-Woman creeps into Doom’s lab and the discarded head of Klaw.

But there’s a flash of light and soon a confused Spider-Woman is telling the other heroes that Doom showed up, reassembled Klaw, unfroze Captain Marvel, oh and engraved an invitation to the heroes to meet him tomorrow at his sweet new tower.

Klaw: “I told you once -- ! I am my wildest dream! Dream! Eem, eem, eem...”

Doom: “I shall miss dreaming...”

He tells Klaw that he does not need sleep anymore and doesn’t dare sleep anymore because of the power contained in him.

Meanwhile, Colossus arrives at Zsaji’s hut while she’s sleeping and invites himself inside. Its creepy or romantic, shrug. She wakes up, he gives her flowers, and confesses he loves her.

Not really understanding the words but getting the gist, Zsaji seems into it.

I guess she gave up on Johnny. Or her people are polygamous.

Later, Wolverine and Nightcrawler gossip about Colossus’ love life. Neither very sympathetic about Colossus cheating on Kitty Pryde.

You’d think they’d also be unsympathetic about the age gap but eh.

Wolverine is also convinced that Colossus isn’t even REALLY in love with Zsaji, that its just a side-effect of her healing power. PLUS, she’s an alien so who knows what love means to her.

Hm. This really does look like a job for Cipher.

The non-Colossus heroes all go to meet Doom at THE TOWER OF DOOM, where Doom is quick to reiterate that they have nothing to worry about with Doom now possessing phenomenal cosmic power.

Doom: “Much has changed, Captain America! Much indeed! For, when I usurped the Beyonder’s power, slaying him -- in a way, Doom died as well! Now, I am all-powerful! I have nothing to prove to lesser creatures -- and none are my equal! I am complete... serene in my omnipotence! The dark, seething desires which once drove and shaped Doom are no more! Nothing in this universe -- nothing of which you can conceive, no matter how cosmic in scope -- could possible merit my attention! For as Eternity is to you... I am to Eternity! I have transcended all concerns of this plane of existence -- and, yet... we have unfinished business! Loose ends, if you will, left over from my mortal life! I cannot undo all of the evil works of my life without unraveling a great deal of the fabric of reality, causing enormous upheavals in the time/space continuum -- ! I can, though, easily set right some of the crimes of these few days past...”

Its good to see that Doom didn’t let becoming the unchallenged supreme being of the universe change him, at least in regards to words words words.

Anyway, he reintegrates Kang and sends the very confused future man home to the future.

He tells the heroes that Galactus has already been found and aided by his herald, Nova.

Which just leaves the wrong that Doom has done the heroes. He offers them a boon to atone for the suffering they’ve endured at his hands.

The heroes debate what to ask for. Spider-Man suggests that Doom can send them home only for Reed, perhaps peevishly, to remark that he can get them home. Nightcrawler suggests that Doom could find Lockheed, who was part of the intro cast but went missing near the beginning. But Captain America tells Doom that they want nothing from him.

Doom: “Very well! Our dealings are ended! Forever! Leave, now as you entered! Soon I shall ascend to higher planes! Until then -- and mark this -- I will not suffer any disturbance! Go... and do not seek to enter my presence again, for I will utterly destroy any who dare!”

Wow.

His magnanimity sure is short-lived.

The heroes do leave but outside Cap(tain America. Captain Marvel hasn’t had a line since she was unfrozen, I think) does a headcount and Spider-Woman is missing.

Despite the risk of Doom making good on his word to kill anyone that disturbs him, Cap won’t leave a comrade behind and reenters THE TOWER OF DOOM.

Cap stumbles onto Doom chilling with his shirt, mask, and boots off and luckily Doom is either in a good mood or hasn’t counted Captain America as leaving yet.

Captain America tells Doom that Spider-Woman is missing so Doom sends Klaw to go find her.

Klaw goes looking for Spider-Woman but runs into one of her webs. The missing, possessed hero grabs Klaw and transfers the blob of light to him.

Back at Doom having dressed up, maybe feeling awkward about being casual in front of anyone who isn’t Klaw, Doom reveals to Captain America that his mom’s spirit is being held captive by Mephisto and that Doom plans to free her.

Doom: “Is that little enough to ask? Little enough self-solicitude -- ? To free my mother’s soul from endless torment at the hands of an extra-dimensional demon! After that... it is as I said -- no affair of men -- or demons -- could possibly gain my notice!”

Cap comments that Doom is looking pretty human but Doom says its for everyone else’s protection that he keeps the power contained, lest he accidentally wipe out solar systems and galaxies.

Doom: “While I linger on this plane, I am like a giant on a world of ants! Every slight movement I make can seal the destinies of millions! I... do not wish to destroy anyone!”

Klaw returns and tells Cap where to find Spider-Woman so Cap goes off to retrieve her.

The heroes all take off back to Doombase and Cap asks Professor X to summon Colossus because there’s a decision to be made that everyone has to be present for.

Which leads to this delightful scene of Professor X interrupting Colossus as he’s making out with Zsaji.

Despite Colossus telling Xavier to buzz off, Xavier insists that Colossus return and alas duty before booty. Or something.

When Colossus arrives, the heroes all assemble in a conference room that Cap managed to find in Doombase.

Wasp doesn’t see the problem with Doom wanting to rescue his mother and Cap agrees that its a very humane and human thing to want and that in other circumstances Cap would have volunteered to help him.

But its the human that bothers Cap.

It gets back to Jim Shooter’s themes from his non-consecutive Avengers runs. Graviton, Nefaria, Korvac, Molecule Man, and Moondragon.

Godlike power in the hands of the all too human.

Captain America: “Doom claims he’s transcended all human desire! What if he hasn’t? We’ve seen the power of the Beyonder -- Doom’s power -- in action before! It is such power that even now, nothing in the universe can take place without his consent! That kind of authority rightfully belongs to... no man! No matter how enlightened or benevolent he’s become, freedom to do what Doom allows is not freedom!”

Cap is edging very close to ‘attack and dethrone god’ and I don’t know if he means to.

But as Cap points out, the first thing Doom did with his new power was to repair his face. Awfully human-like vanity.

Mr. Reed Fantastic concedes what Cap is getting at and agrees they need to force Doom to give up his power. And where Reed goes, so goes the rest of the Fantastic Three.

Which doesn’t tell you whether its a good idea or not considering they were both behind ‘let Galactus eat us all’ when Reed suggested it.

But the Avengers, the spiders, the Hulk, and the X-Men all agree as well.

Colossus is the last person to speak up and he suggests that if they attack Doom unprompted, maybe they’re the dicks. Doom may never harm them, may do what he’s said he’ll do and ascend to a higher plane of existence and contemplate gluons or whatever.

Captain America: “You may be right, son! I’m not dead certain about any of this! That’s why it must be a unanimous vote... or we do nothing! Don’t think you must agree! The choice is yours... Keep in mind, by the way, that if we do decide to confront Doom, it’s possible that we might be annihilated on the spot by a bolt from the blue!”

Wow, Cap isn’t just telling Colossus he can vote how he likes and not feel he must go with the majority. He’s also giving good reasons NOT to vote with the majority.

That Cap. He loves democracy so much.

Colossus struggles because he’s just found love and happiness and he never got to finish making out. And he’s being asked to possibly throw that all away unnecessarily!

Cap still won’t press Colossus one way or another so Colossus has to speak from the heart.

Colossus: “Forgive me, Zsaji... I say yes... We fight!”

He chose........... poorly?

Wonder what the last issue will be about now that half the cast is dead. Ignoring that we see several of these people alive in an issue set after this but published before.

Ignoring that. I wonder what the last issue will be about.

Good thing we don’t have to wait.

April, 1985

“...NOTHING TO FEAR...”

Okay, see, this is just making me wonder harder.

Hm. I also wonder if this is the first big moment where Captain America’s America Shield gets broken for dramatic effect. I know it happens again in Infinity Gauntlet but that’s some years away.

Anyway, yeah. The twenty-one hero characters and Magneto (twenty-one feels like A LOT, geez) have been totally killed forever and they will certainly stay dead.

To Zsaji’s alarm, since in a bit of establishing relative positions, she can see Doombase from the mountain near her village that Galactus set up his planet-eating equipment on.

Over at THE TOWER OF DOOM, Doom contains the power again.

Klaw: “Seal up the power -- god’s might in a can! Thus, Doom is just another man! But why?”

Doom: “Lest in a careless moment, a casual flick of my little figner might blacken a star system, or wipe out an intergalactic civilization. Lest, like Vishnu. ‘I am become death, the destroyer of worlds.’ This universe is too fragile!”

Klaw: “Such power! Such weight upon your shoulders! Poor Doom!”

Klaw questions whether the heroes are REALLY dead but Doom insists on it.

Meanwhile, Denver floating through space towards Earth.

I wanted to question... like... how much oxygen or food a Denver chunk could contain but Molecule Man laughs at logistics. He can just turn space dust into whatever he needs.

Man, Molecule Man would be great to have on a generation ship.

The villains are still chilling out in Volcana’s apartment, instead of taking over the largest building or whatever. Nice thing about Molecule Man being boss is that he doesn’t really approve of all of that.

Enchantress locks herself in the bathroom because dammit, sometimes you just need alone time to consult with a water elemental for some juicy exposition.

Because its issue 12 and we don’t know anything about the Beyonder really and Doom has already eaten him up so its now or never.

Honestly, time should have been budgeted for it earlier but what can you do.

The water elemental knows some things by gossiping with other spirits asks as price for her exposition that Enchantress “grant me power to walk through fields of flowers as mortals do” but Enchantress just threatens her into it.

She’s not a great boss.

Water Elemental: “In his realm, the Beyonder was everything and everything was him... and he was content! But by chance, an event in our universe opened a pinhole into his beyond-realm -- and through the pinhole he glimpsed the Earth! For the first time in his existence he became curious! So, he began to observe! For years, he watched the Earth! One thing confounded him above all else -- this incompleteness beings of our universe seemed to have -- this thing called... desire!”

So the Beyonder chose subjects of power, presence and palpable desire. The three P’s. And then he either raptured or lured into his game. The Beyonder sorted them according to the nature of their desires, which is why Magneto ended up with the heroes. Because his desire for mutantkind is like the altruistic desires of the heroes. Vs the personal desires of the villain group.

The Water Elemental recaps the war, including an image of Enchantress getting punched by She-Hulk, probably to piss her off. Yadda yadda, Doom played the larger game while everyone was doing punches and managed to usurp the Beyonder.

Water Elemental: “May I go down the drain now, please?”

Except no. Enchantress is still a bad boss and demands that the elemental use her rapport with the water on Battleworld to tell Enchantress whats going on now.

The elemental says she doesn’t have the power to do that so Enchantress dunks the elemental and boils some power into her.

Enchantress sees images of the heroes being effortlessly slaughtered, Klaw waiting on Doom as he relaxes, and Doom planning to invade Mephisto’s realm.

The last question Enchantress asks the rather haggard looking elemental is whether the Beyonder is truly dead.

Water Elemental: “N-no... he is close by Doom. But too weak to act... He is hiding where Doom would never suspect, awaiting an opportunity... a moment of vulnerability.”

Humorously, during this scene, the Absorbing Man starts banging on the bathroom door and asking Enchantress if she fell in.

In the living room, the Lizard is getting antsy about being cooped up.

Lizard: “RRAWRR! Out! Lizard wantss out of thiss humanss’ nesst! Musst be in sswamp! Lizard hates humanss!”

The Wrecking Crew just want to kill Lizard to spare the hassle but Volcana sticks up for him because its in her nature to take care of things. And in the same way he demonstrated with Wasp, Lizard folds into surly obedience as soon as someone is firm but nice with him.

Lizard isn’t the only one that’s antsy, as Dock Ock starts complaining and smashing the walls about how unlikely it is that they’ll ever reach home.

Doctorpus Octopus: “Don’t you fools realize the odds against us ever reaching Earth? An ant dropped in the middle of the Sahara would stand a better chance of getting to Hawaii!”

Molecule Man wanders in and tries to calm down the doctorpus while Enchantress lures Volcana away from the crowd.

Enchantress has decided that its time for Volcana to repay her debt for portaling her over to Molecule Man’s side after he was Wolverine’d. And the blank check cost she’s decided on is for Volcana to help Enchantress return to Asgard immediately to warn her people about the danger that Beyonder Doom poses.

And Volcana can help by ‘donating’ her life-force to power the teleport. And by donate, of course, she means, mystically contractually obligated.

Elsewhere, Molecule Man shows Doc Ock that he’s restored the stars in the galaxy that the Beyonder wiped out and that he’s been learning to do spacewarps too. And that’s how they’ll get home.

Doc Ock has some doubts so Molecule Man wraps him up in a nice, weighted blanket of asphalt and plans to turn him over to the authorities when they get back because he’s beginning to suspect that this supervillain may in fact may not be emotionally healthy.

Molecule Man realizes that Volcana isn’t around and Lizard who saw Enchantress pied piper her away leads MM to interrupt the Enchantress before she can finish draining Volcana or making fat jokes.

She makes a lot of fat jokes. Ffs Amora.

Enchantress teleport flees back to Battleworld but Lizard jumps after her and gets caught up in it.

He scratches her face so she throws him off a cliff.

And since mystically speaking, the Lizard counts as a “lower creature” Enchantress can just rip away his life-force and use it to fix her face and power an uncertain teleport to Asgard.

RIP the Lizard. Although I’m pretty sure you bounce back from this.

Meanwhile, in THE TOWER OF DOOM, Doom is napping while Klaw creeps on him creepily but Doom wakes up and yells at Klaw for letting him sleep.

Why, who knows what his subconscious would do with the Beyonder’s power in his dreams!

Klaw suggests hey maybe Doom would accidentally revive the heroes. Or maybe he already did? Hm?? In fact, Klaw has a theory and he’s going to use his sound hologram powers to put on a little demonstration for Doom.

He posits that Zsaji saw the destruction Doom wrought on Doombase (which we do know that she did do). She finds the... uh chunks that remain of the heroes and uses her healing powers to put them in stasis where cellular life still lingers. But she finds Colossus less damaged than the rest because he instinctively shifted to his armored form at the last instant. Surely his armored skin is better armor than, say, the Thing’s rock skin or Iron Man’s armor.

The story Klaw is telling works better this way so surely it is so.

Zsaji manages to bring Colossus wholly back to life, at the cost of her own.

A grief-stricken Colossus shoves Reed Richards into a healing tank (his elastic body also less damaged than the rest because sure, Reed Richards is more durable than the Hulk, we can just say anything).

So Reed is restored and he uses the technology of Doombase to invent a mass healing device and restores the rest of the heroes.

Klaw: “And they’re on their way here right now! The end... maybe!”

Doom: “Absurd! That couldn’t happen! The odds are impossible!”

Klaw: “Perhaps... but maybe you sort of... helped things along... Maybe you secretly subconsciously wanted them to survive... to rise from the ashes and live again!”

Doom: “You speak madness, Klaw!”

Klaw doubts though because Doom didn’t completely atomize the heroes and suggests turning on his god-mode and verifying that the heroes are really dead.

But now Doom is worried that having heard Klaw spell out a possible way for the heroes to be alive, his slightest doubt might make it so.

(I mean, I’m pretty sure that the light blob that’s possessing Klaw is the Beyonder who is gaslighting Doom for Reasons.)

Doom: “This is madness! I must drive these thoughts, these doubts, from my mind! They are dead! Dead! Dead! And yet... How many times in the past have I thought that Reed Richards was dead? And, if there were one man who might overcome the odds... is it not Captain America? No... no! THEY ARE DEAD!”

Klaw: “Then, again...”

Doom lets the Beyonder power well up but he can’t control it and it starts blasting Battleworld to shit and nearly destroyed all of reality. Doom can’t get his mind ordered and calm.

Klaw offers to destroy the heroes for Doom so Doom grants him “an infinitesimal micro-fraction” of his power, “enough to blacken ten thousand suns.”

GEEZ. I know that the Beyonder was established as being the strongest being in the universe, having come from a universe where all was the Beyonder. But that’s still very alarming.

The heroes rush in because after being murdered in an instant once already, subtlety is out the window.

Klaw intercepts them with a summoned army of monsters and also Ultron. Yes, Ultron is back, back again. Tell a friend. Tell them OH MY GOD RUN.

Then there’s a big two-page spread of everyone attacking everyone because that’s the kind of story this is.

Rad.

The Thing reverts back to meat man Ben Grimm but manages to will power the rocks back on and decides now he can control the changes and starts crying because this is everything he’s ever wanted.

Hulk goes punchies on Ultron but the robot does a plot injury to Hulk’s leg and for an encore makes Iron Man, Wolverine, and Spider-Woman look stupid before just falling apart.

Thanks to Wasp shrinking down, flying in one of the Hulk punch dents and just yanking wires. Yay, Wasp did a thing!

Also, she beat Ultron. She deserves to. Shame that not more can be made of it as a beat, what with everything going on.

Captain America manages to slip past all the monsters and jump kick his way past Klaw, although Klaw threw that little encounter.

Cap reaches where Doom is once again chilling, although this time with his clothes on.

Doom brags that there’s nothing that the heroes can do to harm him in any way, after all, what is a man to one who is omnipotent?

Captain America: “I wouldn’t be too sure about that! After all... you conquered the Beyonder! And why would you have gone through the trouble of killing us in the first place, unless... you were afraid!”

Doom doesn’t like having holes poked in his arguments so he kamehamehas Cap into ashes.

But Cap respawns out of sheer ‘I can do this all day’ness and charges at Doom to be blasted and respawned again.

Okay, so its Klaw who keeps respawning Cap, while letting Doom think its his own stolen power running out of control that keeps doing it.

And having Cap keep popping back into existence and trying to hit him in the face with a metal disc makes Doom lose his every last shit.

The power starts to overtake him and threaten the universe so Cap offers his hand, to serve as an anchor to reality for Doom.

Oh, hey. Just like Cap offered Doom his hand in the first issue but Doom turned it down because he hates pity.

But now, with omnipotence raging out of control, Doom reaches to accept Cap’s hand.

Thems some nice bookends.

Except the feeble remnant of the Beyonder that’s been body hopping bursts out of Klaw and reclaims his power from Doom.

Unpossessed Klaw: “Doom! Doom! Forgive me, Doom! The Beyonder, he took over my body -- ! He used my guile, my wits, my cunning to engineer this! I set you up for this! Doom -- ! I’m so sorry!”

The Beyonder reverts Doom’s armor (and face) back to how it was and then ejects him from the plot. Klaw jumping in to be with his master.

Actually, the Beyonder nopes out of the plot as well. Just kinda abandons this grand experiment into the concept of desire.

And to be fair, half the competitors fucked off. The other half refused to actually kill. And one of the competitors jumped off the board game to steal the Beyonder’s wallet.

At that point, escaping before you have to answer any questions is the right move.

With the fight over, there’s just a whole bunch of wrap-up.

Colossus has a funeral for Zsaji and buries her on the hill overlooking Doombase because fuck those villagers, she probably didn’t have any friends or loved ones who should have a say in this.

While RICHARDSS goes to work on a way home, Spider-Man swings around Doombase for a snack of alien eggplant. Then finds everyone else in the costume making machine room where Professor X has.

Uh.

Made some fashion choices.

Won’t anybody stop him?

Anyway, he intends to keep undermining Storm when they get back to Earth. What a guy.

Spider-Man also learns that none of their costumes respond to thought like his new black costume does and wonders what’s different about his.

Hulk’s leg was busted up by being Ultron’d and his gamma levels have risen so much that they’d short out the healing pods. So Reed makes Hulk a techno crutch and leg brace to help him get around until his natural healing factor takes care of things.

He’s not very pleased at the situation though and snaps at Hawkeye, leading Hawkeye to a thought that hits a lot different post Civil War II.

Hawkeye: “Whoa! Has he ever changed in the last few days! I think he’s losing it -- becoming totally savage and out of control again! Man, I hope I’m wrong! Maybe I’d better make myself a few more arrows -- some real heavy-duty ones -- just in case!”

Curt Connors wanders in and tells a story about waking up in a crater a few miles from the fortress. He says that he’s sure this time the lizard-persona is totally gone forever for reals.

Nightcrawler says its good that Connors found them before they departed so he wouldn’t get left behind, then mentions that Lockheed the dragon would return.

And boom! Lockheed the dragon returns with a lady dragon!

He’s been getting laid this whole time, the little scamp! I assume! Either way, he has contributed absolutely nothing to anything that happened.

Reed decides that Lockheed and Connors showing up isn’t just a coincidence, that the Beyonder left some trace energy behind when he quit the plot. And that the energy is causing a wish fulfillment phenomenon (which sorta makes sense if you think of it like the promise Beyonder promised to fulfill the winners’ desires?)

Mr. Fantastic: “I believe that this... ‘wish fulfillment’ phenomenon we’ve been experiencing is an after-effect of the battle against Doom! The planet itself seems to have been charged with residual energy whichs seems to respond to strong desire, or force of will!”

Cap(tain America) immediately takes off to where he’s keeping all the fragments of his broken shield that he’s been able to find and wishes REALLY hard for it to be fixed.

“It was the product of a freak metallurgical accident -- a metallic disk of unknown composition, and unique properties -- utterly impervious to any force or instrument which humans comprehend. But now it lies before him like a wounded friend... How many times has it saved his life? And now... it’s usefl life is at an end, for no fire could melt it, no furnace could reforge it. It is forever broken... unless by force of will... or sheer desire... He can accomplish the impossible!”

Hey, how about that!

I mean, you could have wished Bucky back to life but on the other hand, it’s a real sweet shield. I get it.

Although, in terms of the pre-post Secret Wars issue teasing what could happen in it (Hulk with a leg brace, She-Hulk with the FF, Spider-Man’s new costume), I really think that Steve should have returned from Battleworld with the broken shield.

Almost everything that’s gonna be brought back from Secret Wars is going to have to be abandoned or turn out to be evil.

It’s going to turn out (years later, mind) that Steve fixed his shield bad with his FORCE OF WILL and that for some reason, imperfections in the shield threaten to destroy ALL VIBRANIUM.

And that’s a decent story, probably.

Just saying, you could have Cap return with a broken shield and get that ‘how did that happen’ hype. Its a really intriguing idea. Although, I’d bet that breaking Cap’s shield was only thought up after the pre-post Secret Wars issues had already been done so it had to be introduced and rectified in Secret Wars itself.

Some other things that didn’t last long from Secret Wars: we already know the black goo costume didn’t even last through Secret Wars. The modifications Reed made to the Iron Man armor stop working when Rhodey returns to Earth, then they evolve into the evil Carnivor and fights Quasar in Quasar. Hulk ditches his leg brace two issues after his return to Earth. Connors turns himself back into the Lizard to save his family a couple years after Secret Wars. And so on.

So the time comes to return everyone back to Earth with the device Reed made. It teleports them in small groups up to the ring-shaped construct that got them to Battleworld where it will teleport them to Earth.

Reed beams up the unaffiliated group first of Spider-Man, Spider-Woman, Curt Connors, Hulk, and Magneto who decided he’s too cool to hang with the X-Men on the ride home.

Next, the X-Men. Although they have to talk Colossus into coming home instead of being sad on a hill forever by convincing him that he’d be wasting the life Zsaji gave him if he didn’t come home.

Colossus letting Xavier talk him into sticking with the X-Men over greater and greater personal losses eventually becomes a sore point.

Lockheed’s girlfriend flies into the teleport as Reed initializes it, causing a dramatic energy fluctuation that Reed hopes won’t cause any problems on Earth.

It does.

Puff the tiny dragon becomes Puff the enormous dragon, and menaced Japan in her quest to mate with Lockeed. The X-Men had to fight her and Lockheed eventually rejected the now much bigger dragon causing her to explode.

Although she came back to life at some point and she and Lockheed did get back together.

X-Men is a weird book.

The Avengers are up next but She-Hulk tells them that she’s joining the Fantastic Four. Now this happened because Byrne made grabby hands at her and Stern didn’t say no but its not really satisfactorily built-up in this story.

Ben and She-Hulk don’t share many moments to establish that they have a good friendship that he could ask her to take his place on the team. In fact, the last time I know of them teaming up, she was a huge sex pest to him. So it makes it even more baffling.

But it happened in the pre-post issue so its gotta happen.

And Ben asks Jen (maybe the similar names is why he asks her? They can get away with only changing a single letter on his locker) because he’s going to stay behind on Battleworld because he can control his powers here.

He’s not planning on being here forever and Reed can leave the gizmo so Ben can return whenever he wants.

What makes this stupid is that like almost everything involving Ben, Reed knows a lot more about what’s going on and just doesn’t say anything. He starts to but doesn’t insist when Ben tells him not to try to change his mind.

The thing about the Thing is that Ben should always have been able to Rock On or Rock Off as he pleased but there’s a psychological block preventing it.

Ben would lose this control before leaving Battleworld and he quits the FF when he learns that Reed knew that it was a psychological issue.

Mr. Fantastic: “If only I could tell him what I suspect about his transformations -- but it’s the kind of thing that might shatter a man... even a strong man like Ben! No, better to say nothing... and hope he slowly discovers the truth for himself... Or hides from it forever!”“

Geez.

You’re so bad at people.

Anyway. Yeah. Needed some more build-up. Maybe centered around the transformation. Jen could sympathize. She used to have trouble controlling her hulk outs before she just decided to be She-Hulk all the time.

Anyway, this big ridiculous thing (the last issue was 43 PAGES LONG) ends with Ben being thoughtful on a rock.

And that brings us back to Avengers #243.

I guess he’s not alone because Zsaji’s village is still here, maybe? Is nobody going to send them home??

Follow @essential-avengers because FINALLY I can get back to just focusing on the Avengers. Phew. Please like and reblog. This took so much effort.

For the first time in forever: part 1

Words: idk how you tell, not too long

Warnings: Death I guess?

It was the first time you’d been in the palace since Frigga had died. There was a strange air about the place, it seemed empty somehow - and the grief was palpable. You hurried through the corridors, praying that you wouldn’t bump into anyone, you never knew what to say to people in these sorts of scenarios. You were only here to deliver a message to your mother, who has been one of Frigga’s hand maids, and was now working in the castle elsewhere. You had spent quite a lot of time in the castle when you were younger, running through the corridors with the children of the other maids, and occasionally Thor and Loki.

You loved the castle, and loved spending time on Asgard. You spent half your time on Earth, being half human. Your mother had traveled to Earth with Frigga years ago, where she met your father. Frigga’s mission had been long and in the time your mother had spent on Earth your Dad and her had fallen completely and utterly in love. You’d been born here on Asgard where you’d lived until you were old enough to go to school. Then your mother had sent you (with Frigga’s special permission) to Earth to live with your Dad and return just in the summer. You spent all your time there dreaming of Asgard and all your time on Asgard dreaming of Earth.

You were in your final summer before graduating university, when you’d have to make a choice about whether you wanted to live on Earth or Asgard. Asgard was where you felt closer to your mother, but your Dad and most of your life was back on Earth. You couldn’t keep travelling between the two though, it was stressful and you weren’t sure the palace would even still allow it once you left education.

At the moment you were trying to remember where your mother had said she would be, you always helped out in the palace when you were over here and one of the palace cooks had asked you to deliver a message to your her. Weaving your way through the palace corridors you weighed up the pros and cons of staying on Asgard, or staying on Earth - lost in thought you came to a sudden stop as you collided with someone.

‘Oh my goddess, I’m so sorry!’ You said, looking up to see who you’d walked straight into.

‘Not a problem’ came the smooth reply. It was Loki. Of all the people you could have bumped into it was one of Frigga’s sons. You internally cringed.

‘I was ... lost in thought’ you said, giving a rueful smile.

‘I find myself there a lot’ Loki replied, with his own sad smile.

‘I’m so sorry...’ you began, unsure of what what else to say. Loki shook his head.

‘Thank you’ You didn’t know what to say to that so you stood in silence, not wanting to say anything else and make this situation worse. It was Loki that spoke again first.

‘It’s nice to see you again. I thought you might not come back after ...’ he trailed off.

‘I came back as soon as I heard, I just couldn’t face the palace’ you replied. ‘Without her it seems so quiet’ you paused, taking a glance at Loki, seeing if you’d gone too far.

‘It’s not the same’ he agreed quietly, even more sadness washing over his face. Shit. You’d made it worse. You hesitated, then reached out and touched his arm, giving it a squeeze.

‘I’m sorry I can’t make it better’ you said, meeting his eyes. To your surprise they watered, before he suddenly looked and pulled his arm away.

‘It was nice to see you again Y/N’ Loki bowed and walked off apruptly. You watched him go and let out a small sigh. Frigga’s death had hit the Asgardians hard, and none more so that her two sons. Thor was devastated and Loki was, well he was devastated, but he was Loki. Smooth and calm and emotionless. He had been closest to Frigga and you suspected that he was really hurting but didn’t want to show it.

He was never big on displaying his emotions but you worried for him - this was something too big to bottle up. You’d never seen him cry before and just now he’d looked like he was only seconds away. You made a mental note to think of some way to help. Loki didn’t do ‘feelings’ but you couldn’t just leave this, there had to be something you could do. Turning back to the task at hand you carried on walking down the corridor, trying to remeber where it was you were going.

I like you, you, and you

Request

warning: fluff, smut (threesome, FFM)

Summary: Bucky Barnes x reader x Natasha Romanoff. Bucky asking y/n out on a date only to find out that y/n and Natasha are dating. Natasha and y/n feel bad for Bucky since he gets really depressed and both decide to ask him if he would like to date them. (Smut included) also, could y/n also be from the red room

Bucky watched as (Y/n) laughed her heart out rolling on the mat with Natasha. They were meant to be training but Natasha and (Y/n) never took training serious when they were together. All ways goofing off and playing around never actually doing work. Steve hated pairing them up while training but they were the best team on real missions.

“ you’re so whipped” Sam teased as he snapped him out of his trance. He was staring super hard and very obviously. Everyone, except for (Y/n), was aware of Bucky’s crush on (Y/n) and watching him fall over her was their entertainment.

“you know instead of loving her from afar, like Margaery from Games of Thrones, you should ask her out” Steve said lifting his weights while also wiggling his eye brows. “ And By asking her out I mean on a date and not just friends for coffee again just to clarify.”

Sam laughed and Bucky scoffed. The were acting like he didn’t know how to talk to girls forgetting that he was a ladies man. Of course it had been 80 years seen his last date but he still had that charm he just had to dust it off and update it a bit....a lot.

“I’m going to ask her out today. Just watch and see. Barnes ain’t out the game yet.”

Later in the afternoon Bucky found (Y/n) curled up on the couch with a sleeping Natasha in her lap. It was just the three of them, tow if you didn’t count the sleeping Natasha so yeah basically two.

“Hey” he cringed as he took a seat damn next to her opposite of Natasha that was terrible but she laughed.

“What’s up Bucky? and make it fast don’t want to wake her up.”

“Right um.... I was wondering if you were free Friday night I mean I was thinking we could go out together.”

“Like a date?”

“Um... yeah, yeah a date.”

“Barnes?” both of them stopped talk and looked down to Natasha in her lap who was now wide awake and looking up at Bucky “ Are you trying to ask out My Girlfriend?”

“What?...she’s your...what?!”

“My girlfriend. Keep up”

Bucky leaned back in the chair and exhaled heavily “ I thought you two were friends like really close friends. I didn’t think. Oh god … I’m so sorry”

They didn't acted like a couple, no pda, no announcement, no change in attitude or behavior change. They openly flirted with others, kissed others, they just didn’t seem like the normal couple they were very distance with each other couple wise. He didn’t realize. He didn’t know. No body knew. Well Clint probably knew, yeah he most definitely knew, but no one else did.

Bucky began to quickly and rapidly apologizes. He apologizes for possibly making her uncomfortable, he apologized for assuming she was single, he apologizes for assuming she was straight or liked men, He just found a thousand reasons to apologizes and was going through the list.

“Bucky, Bucky relax. No big deal just a misunderstanding. No Harm no foul. “ Natasha said waving him off she was just messing with him.

“Would you like to stay and watch TV with us?” Bucky shakes his head he couldn’t speak afraid his voice would crack so he just shook his head getting up and walking away leaving the couple to their Tv. Damn, he thought he had a chance.

After the whole living room incident Bucky noticeable slump no one bother to ask him why or what happen as he did very publicly announce he would be asking out (y/n). They just assumed she turned him down and that’s why he was in a sour mood. But honestly his depressing mood was effecting everyone and the girls knew just how to get him out of his slump.

“Oh, your not ready, yet?” Bucky opened his door to find (Y/n) standing there all dolled up and looking cute. Despite how stunning she looked he was confused as to why she was standing at his door dressed like this at this time of night.

“You’re drooling” He turned his head to see Natasha leaning all the wall next to his door.

“I don’t ...”

“It’s Friday and you said we would be going out Friday, did you forget?” (Y/n) teased

“Hurry up and go get changed. we’ll wait in the garage.” Natasha said as she took (Y/n) hand and walked away. Bucky, none the less, confusing closed his door and got dress.

“Isn’t this place just adorable” (Y/n) said as she looked around the diner. Bucky sitting next to her and Natasha across they had already order their food but Bucky was still confused as to what was happening. “We should come here more often.”

“Yeah. I have a mission next week maybe Bucky can take you.”

“oh that would be so nice. Maybe we can come for lunch or breakfast. That would -”

“Hold on, wait, hold up. What is going on here?” Bucky had finally waken up and realized that something was happening and this wasn’t a weird dream. “ you guys come to my room say were going on a date take me out to this diner and now you’re planning on -I don’t even know. Someone tell me what’s going on ,Now”

(Y/n) and Natasha looked at each other and started having one of those silence conversation.

“No, no, no. No silent conversations. Talk to me”

“Well” (Y/n) began to talk first “ we saw how sad you got after you found out I was dating Natasha. I didn’t mean to upset. I mean I’ve always liked you but you didn’t like me or at least I thought you didn’t and then Natasha came along and I remember all our time together in the Red Room and we just clicked.”

“She thought she could cheer you up my going on a date with you. I’m here as the chaperon and for the free food. Three wheeling it super hard.” Natasha said as the waiter came by with their food she immediately stole some of Bucky’s fries.

“I don’t understand, this is your girlfriend.”

“Our relationship is some what open. We invite others in but only for sex and only one time. But since (Y/n) actually likes you and given our history. I thought we could make it work. Dating”

“Like the three of us, dating?”

“Yep” (Y/n) said taking his fries too. Like seriously they had fires on their own plate why takes his. He moved his Plate away from them.

“and what’s all this” he motioned to the table asking about the right now moment.

“This is us easing you in by allowing you to go on a date with (Y/n) first. Plus you wanted this date right?” Natasha said as she reached for his plate again he popped her hand and she pouted then with for (y/n)’s fries.

“This isn’t easing me in this was just weirding me out”

“So you don’t want to date either of us?”

“No, no. I would love to just... can we start over a bit first.” Bucky said sheepishly rubbing his neck.

“Alright, this night never happened. We will start over tomorrow we will ask you out properly and take you out for something better.” Natasha declared

“Shouldn’t I ask you guys out ?”

“This is the 21st century Barnes.”

And that was how their relationship started. It was a bit strange at first but the three of them soon set into a routine and ritual that they could handle. A month into their relationship the came clean and told the others, and by others they mean Tony.

Natasha told Clint. Bucky told Sam and Steve. (Y/n) told Bruce. Wanda read (Y/n)’s mind and told Vision who had the slip of the tongue with Rhodey. For Thor, Heimdall sees all. And Peter caught them making out and being all lovey dovey. so Yeah Tony was the only one who didn’t know and he was very devastated to be the last to find out. But got over it after a blood marry or two.

Honestly, the three of them getting together was the best thing for everyone.

(Y/n) heavily just getting back from a mission she was exhausted and her muscles were aching. She was heading to Bucky’s room as Friday said Natasha was already there and he gave the best massages which she really needed right now.

“Hey gu-AH oh my gosh I’m so sorry” (Y/n) quickly covering her eyes.

“What are you doing?” Natasha laughed as she and Bucky sat up. They were in little clothing making out and working their way into more intimate territory.

“I’m so sorry I didn’t mean to interrupt I can go to my room and come back later or in the morning.”

“Or you could join us” Bucky said laughing along with her “ why are you covering your eyes?”

“You guys were- I feel like I’m interrupting, can I go?”

“No you may not. Get over here” Natasha demanded patting the bed and sitting up. (Y/n) slowly made her way into bed and sat down. “ what’s up? why are you so jittery and trying to leave? You’ve had sex with Bucky and you’ve definitely had sex with me.” she said rubbing her arms and kissing her shoulder.

(Y/n) sighed relaxing more under her touch “ I guess I feel like I’m intruding. I’ve had you and I‘ve had you-”

“sure did” they ignored Bucky’s comment.

“You guys should have your moment.”

“We’ve already had our moment while you were gone. We’ve actually had several moments. But now your home we would like to have a moment with you” Natasha said as she started trailing kisses across her jaw and down her neck. “ Join us and lets all have a moment.”

“A ….a threesome!”

Being in a relationship for a while they all had had sex with each other but never all three together, a threesome. It was something they had simple never done. No one had brought it up and they simple never talked about that aspect of there relationship. Now they were just going to skip over the talk and get right to it.

“Yes, unless you don’t want to?” Bucky said giving her an opportunity to back out.

“Can we go slow?”

“we can go any speed you want sweetheart.”

“Okay”

Natasha pulled (Y/n) into a deep and passionate kiss. Bucky went on to kiss her neck and slowly remove her stealth suit throwing it across the room. “No bra” Bucky whispered as he pinched her nipples. “How naughty” Natasha says as she moved his hand away and took her nipple into her mouth. Bucky brings her into a kiss stealing her moans.

(Y/n) gasped and arched her back as she felt Bucky’s cold finger find her clit. He rubbed her clit in small slow circles. Natasha’s hand joins his adding more pressure and slipping two fingers into her she moaned and reach down grabbing on to her wrist and grinding down on to both of their hands. “Oh fuck” she said as Natasha curled her fingers bring her closer to the end.

Suddenly both Natasha and Bucky pulled their hands away. She whined at the lost of her nearing climax. The whining came to a stop and Bucky pulled her down the bed he chuckled a bit kissing her. He thumbed her underwear for a moment silent asking her if she still wanted to and if he could remove them. She nodded and lifted her hips allowing him to remove them. Natasha having already removed her underwear helped Bucky remove his and let it join the pile of clothes on the floor.

Natasha bent down and gave her a kiss before moving back Bucky came forth kissing her passionately as he slowly grinded into her feeling her slit and wetness. She wrapped her arms around his shoulder as she felt his tip move up and down her slit before slowly pushing in she groaned against his lips and he fully sheath himself inside of her.

“Are you okay?” Bucky pulled away noticing she looked to be uncomfortable.

“ It’s been a couple of months since anyone has been inside and you are the thickest and longest guy she’s ever had” Natasha said as she kissed (Y/n) and tweaked her nipples “She’ll be fine” her hand trail down to her clit (Y/n) moaned lightly as she began to rub her little bud in circles.

Bucky started his thrusts off slow before picking up the pace Natasha went and followed his pace with her fingers picking it up as he did the same. He went and lifted one of her legs on to his shoulder reaching a new depth she screamed out loud and she dug her nails into his back.

“Oh fuck” (Y/n) moaned out as she arched her back as she came closer and closer her legs began to shake and her toes curl.

“It’s okay... let go” And she did screaming as she went. “Oh, oh shit” as he stopped thirsting and looked down as he found out (Y/n) was a squirter. Fortunately Natasha didn’t stop her finger magic and continued to rub her clit and helped her ride out her high.

“She’s a squirter, sorry I didn’t warn you.” Natasha said as she gave Bucky a quick kiss before leaning down and gave (Y/n) a more passionate one. As soon as Natasha let up Bucky came in dragging her in to another passionate kiss.

“That was amazing” He whispered against her lips.

“Your welcome” (Y/n) said smiling and giving him another kiss.

He then moved on to Natasha a small kiss soon turn heated and (Y/n) watched and he moved to her and became hard again. Natasha flipped them over leaving her on top. Lining him up with her and slowly sinking down on to him. (Y/n) watched as she rode him both of them moaning and groaning heavily Bucky held on to her hips and She dug her nails into his chest she was close to reaching her climax but she slowed down to a stop to breathing heavily.

“Get on his face” she said

“What?”

“Get on his face. Sit on his face. I want you to ride his face.” she said again Bucky nodded his head agreeing with her.

“Let me taste you baby.”

(Y/n) was hesitant at first but did as she was told climbing over Bucky’s face facing Natasha. She lowered herself on to Bucky’s mouth who immediately went to work sucking and licking at her clit Natasha kissed her swallowing her moans. Bucky added two fingers along with his mouth thrusting and curling them into her as he sucks her clit. She began to ride his face as Natasha rides his cock the both of them moaning heavily and Bucky’s smothered under (Y/n).

(Y/n) was the first cum as Bucky added a third finger and curled them hitting just the right spot this time he wasn’t surprised and drank all of her up. Next and Natasha she came with a silent moan as she rode out her climax before collapsing on to Bucky’s chest and letting her head rest on (Y/n)’s thigh. And then finally Bucky as he came he gripped on to (Y/n)’s thighs and groaned into her skin. Natasha moaned as she felt his cum paint her walls.

(Y/n) removed herself from Bucky falling on to her side. Natasha rolled off of Bucky and all of them laid in a piled breathing heavily.

“So that’s a threesome... We should try it again”

Return

TITLE: Return CHAPTER NO./ONE SHOT: Chapter Four AUTHOR: theterrifyingtermite ORIGINAL IMAGINE: Imagine that, at the end of Endgame, Loki comes back. Only one problem: this isn’t your Loki… RATING: T NOTES/WARNINGS: Trigger warning: There’s a mention of Loki’s suicide attempt halfway through the third section. (also, I hate dialogue. bear with me…)

Chapter Four:

There was a voice off in the distance somewhere, muttering about something. Another voice answered, and then a third shushed them both.

It was the first thing she was aware of as she came back to herself, and she allowed herself to listen to them; not to hear them, but to allow the murmur to help pull her out of the secure recess of her mind.

The second thing she noticed, upon further evaluation, was that she was blessedly, “Warm.”

Her sigh brought about silence.

And reality.

Now she would have to explain some things.

Barely able to hold back a groan, she blinked up at the concerned face of Christine, a stern one she easily identified as the former-doctor-sorcerer Doctor – Strange indeed – and a third, Oriental-looking man whose expression fell somewhere in the middle of the former two.

“Come on up,” Doctor Strange commanded, slipping an arm under her shoulders to help raise her into a sitting position and situate her back into the corner, supported by a pillow Christine stuffed behind her.

Once she had nodded that she was alright and rubbed at her eyes, the other presumed sorcerer sat down next to her, absentmindedly patting one of her feet she had tucked up on the cushion.

“Now then!” With a wave of his hand, a chair was conjured “The Chinese Michelin man to your right is Wong. Wong, say hello.”

“Hello,” was the solemn, demanded intonation, which was followed by another pat at her nod and a sour glance towards the other man.

His greeting, however, was nearly steamrolled over. “I must say, I am very impressed with your ability to track down information that you want. Is that something you do for a living? Do you work for the government?”

She faltered immediately, “Uh, no, I-“

“Did you specialize in espionage? Do you work for a foreign government? You-“

“I-“

“Stephen!” Christine, having pulled over another chair, shoved his arm roughly, and shook her head at the cringing woman. “Don’t answer any of that.”

At Stephen’s sigh, she finally forced something out. “I don’t work anywhere right now. I’m on medical leave because of the baby. I blipped pregnant, and when that was found out, everyone got pretty hysterical.”

“Ah.” He nodded, leaning back in his seat and steepling his fingers under his chin. “I take it you’re not seeing any doctors at the moment. Not with the state we found you in.”

A wince, and she shook her head in the negative. “Once it started happening, I stopped going to appointments. I managed enough of a lie and redirection to get away with it. I wasn’t the only pregnant Blipped person in their office. Just the earliest.”

“Go back. Define ‘it’ for us’.”

With a sigh, she began to relate the issues she had been having the past several weeks. The outbursts of magic that had sucked her life away, bit by bit; the fainting spells that lasted for hours; the torturous drop in body heat, cold, always cold; and how-

“What triggered all of this? Was is random, start gradually, or was there a cause?”

More foot patting, and very soft hmms from her right.

“I ran into his father,” was the whisper that was finally breathed into the silence. “He…wasn’t happy about something, and we argued, and it’s like the baby fought back. After that, it was every once in a while…Then I saw the father a second time; we argued again, and then it got worse.”

Another “Hmm,” was all she heard back.

He stared at her for another moment, then exchanged a cautious look with Wong. Christine, who had disappeared back into another room, returned with a mug of tea to press into her hand.

“So,” Wong started off slowly, waiting until her gaze had turned towards him. “Care to explain why we had to work a spell around the baby to maintain his temperature while simultaneously regulating one for the rest of your body?”

“It will adapt with you and your environment, for the record,” came the interruption from Stephen. “But the baby’s will stay the same.”

A hesitant nod, and a very interesting cup of tea at which she could look and hopefully drown herself. At this point, Wong’s hand rested on her ankle, squeezing gently, as the other man continued brusquely.

“Identifying the type of magic used is vital. In order to cast the spells that you need to sustain the ones we have already woven, care to tell us who the father is?”

___

In the time before, when Loki was alive, and they were together and happy, he showed her the truth.

He allowed her to see the memories and feel the terror he had known at the most devastating moment, when he had looked at himself and seen his true identity.

And when she had opened her eyes, his skin was shaded blue, and his eyes were the softest red she had ever seen.

She had stared at him for an uncertain length of time; as if she were to blink, then he might vanish away.

When she lifted a hand towards his face, he flinched.

A pause; her hand still in the air.

When he had eventually nodded, she traced the markings on his face, fingers gliding gently.

After a few minutes, his breathing evened out, and she tugged up his sleeves – turning his arms this way and that, tracing every line that she found.

He even permitted her to slowly unbutton his shirt; not to fully remove it, but to push the sides away to see the continuation of the geometrics embedded into his skin.

And then she wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him against her as tightly as she could, considering they were sitting cross-legged on her rug.

And then he exhaled, returning her embrace, and slowly allowing himself to relax against her.

They stayed that way for a moment longer, and then his coloring faded to the everyday pale, and he helped her to her feet.

___

For several heartbeats – five, to be exact, as her heart was thudding so strongly, she could easily count – there was silence.

It was only after she dared to look back at them, expression as hard and exact as the truth, that there was any reaction.

“Do you have any idea what this means?” came from the man in front; the Doctor in whose hands she had placed their two lives.

His eyes were drilling into her, no doubt reflecting some internal, murderous wish.

The hand on her foot, from the quirky, comforting Wong, was pulled away, and he sighed heavily as the rage continued.

“Do you even know what he did?”

She set her jaw firmly, knowing her face was taking on ‘the look,’ as the god in question used to call it. Even though he would tease her, he knew better than to push too far.

“Compared to how stupid you think I am, I do live in New York,” she muttered, eyebrows drawing together.

“Dear heart, one look like that, and stone would melt away.”

“I know what happened, but that was years ago.”

Even as Stephen continued to rant on, and on, and on, and Wong would occasionally interject another point, she kept half an eye on Christine. The other woman, while looking startled at first, had slowly fallen down into concern.

There was a pity in Christine’s look that made her want to retaliate, while simultaneously logically realizing that could prove to be helpful.

“-he was an absolute, megalomaniac who-“

She wondered what Loki would say to this. Nothing, probably. Or not anything useful and everything antagonistic. It would depend on if he were in a mood of sullenness or regret.

She, however, was neither of those, and feeling more like a normal human than she had in months.

“-not to mention all the trouble he caused on-“

“Fine then, Dr. Strange,” was the interruption, snapped indignantly as she set her tea down, stood abruptly, and glared down at him. “I have something to show you.”

His tirade broken; his status leaving him unused to being overwhelmed, Stephen fell silent.

Spotting her bag slung off to the side, no doubt due to her rather dramatic entrance earlier, she stepped to it quickly, pulling out a manila folder.

And then she turned back, sliding a printed picture out and pushing it into his hands.

“This was taken at the Shield facility he infiltrated back in 2012. It’s not the best picture, but it’s clear enough. Look at his face. His eyes.

“He was a Frost Giant,” was her continuation, hands beginning to tremble as the readily anger bled away to hurt and rising exhaustion. “What do you think would be the best way to torture someone from an ice realm?”

There was no answer.

Not that she needed one.

“What Thor decided to keep to himself, for whatever reason, is that Loki,” she swallowed hard, demanding the tears keep at bay, “tried to kill himself. He let himself fall off the Bifrost Bridge. Thanos ‘saved’ him, tortured him, and tried to use Loki in his plan to decimate half the universe.”

She wondered if they could see her tears; see the pain she remembered from him reflected on her face.

When silence remained, she pulled out the next picture, a rough screenshot of Loki doubled over, and hands reaching out to keep the god steady.

“He told me that was the first time he was let out of Thanos’ sight, and with a staff that enabled mind control.” A breathless laugh rose unbidden. “Do you think that was just for everyone else? Once the Avengers took it from him, his was finally able to think normally again.”

Her eyes moved between the three people. Wong’s shoulders had slumped, Stephen appeared to be sulking, and Christine –

Christine was studying the first picture.

As if she felt her eyes on her, Christine glanced up at her, then over at Stephen.

Then a soft answer. “It looks like heat stroke.”

The men both turned towards her and were met with a shrug. “That’s what I would diagnose at first sight. Wouldn’t you, Stephen?”

Stephen, incoherently muttering to himself, eventually nodded in sullen acquiescence.

She sighed, dropping back onto the couch. “For the last few years, or-”

A stumble, as the reality of the Blip flashed through her mind.

“At least, the last few years before the Blip, Loki was masquerading as the King of Asgard-”

“That I knew,” came the interjection from Stephen. “He and Thor came to Earth a few weeks before the Blip to pick up Odin. He tried to stab me,” was the ending mumble.

Oh, her heart.

A small smile flitted across her face.

“Remember, Odin said he chose to stay,” Wong was now lounging, holding a cup of some steaming liquid, sipping at it casually as if it had not been conjured up from nothing.

“What does that have to do with it?” Stephen was sulking.

“Well, if it was so terrible on Asgard, why wouldn’t he want to go fix it?”

The two men, falling silent as they engaged in another unheard conversation, turned in unison to look at her.

Sighing, she picked up her mug, tea now cold, and mimicked the Chinese sorcerer’s position. Peering over the brim of it at her lesser favorite of the two men, she offered a solution.

“Why don’t you ask Thor what the people thought of Loki’s reign?”

___

It had been spring.

Cool, but not enough to dampen her delight at seeing him.

They had been walking that day, wandering through a park, when he had burst out about the home he had stumbled upon while adventuring disguised one day.

While it sounded absolutely luxurious to her ‘Midgardian mindset’ – as he often enjoyed reminding her – it did not seem to be satisfactory to him.

Not in the way it should be.

Not when there was a young, dark haired child playing alone on the doorstep.

He was upset.

When he fell silent, body tense after his outburst, she tugged him to a stop.

Was he the king of Asgard or not? was her quiet answer, coupled with a gentle hand on his arm. Why didn’t he just do something about it?

His step paused, and his head tilted towards her.

Well, perhaps he would then, was his agreement, shoulders relaxing.

A smirk lifting the corner of his mouth.

Then a hand encircled her waist, rotating her body towards his; pulling her up on her toes as he leaned down to meet her halfway.

Let’s talk about Endgame

I’m seeing a lot of different opinions on some characters’ arcs and their endings and I wanna share my view.

Captain America/Steve Rogers: my baby got the perfect ending for his arc. Ever since he got out of the ice, he was a man out of time, even though he tried to adjust and fit in. His place will always be in the past. Steve always lived for the war, for battles and was always worried about something and finally he had an opportunity to live a life like a normal person and he took it. STEVE AND PEGGY DESERVE THE WORLD. Also the thing about Bucky: I know he’s Steve’s best pal and they’ll be there for each other till the end of the line but Bucky knew. He knew Steve would be happier in the past. And he’s also a grown man that can take care of himself, Buck doesn’t need babysitter Steve watching him 24/7. They are best pals and know what’s best for each other.

Iron Man/Tony Stark: I KNOW. It broke my heart and I left the theatre sobbing but it makes sense and it’s the only way this could’ve ended. It started with Tony. It ends with Tony. I’m sure he left many things for many people as a legacy and maybe this is not the last we’ll see of him. The same way he recorded a message in case he died he could’ve storaged some kind of backup on his knowledge or even his voice (like a JARVIS kind of thing but I might be taking it too far). Tony started as a selfish, arrogant billionaire and sacrificing himself for the greater good now shows how much he developed as a character and how well his arc was written. It’s a sad ending but it’s worthy of the character.

Black Widow/Natasha Romanoff: she broke me. Natasha didn’t have a family, didn’t have friends and when she finally finds a family it is taken from her. Nat is really loyal to those she loves and she would never let Clint sacrifice himself. s of the mission in this case) and she loves them so much she wouldn’t let his kids grow up without a father, like she did. Their friendship is so pure that they are willing to sacrifice their lives for each other. DON’T FORGET NATASHA.

Hawkeye/Clint Barton: he was happy in his farm with his family having a good time and suddenly lost everything and became a super badass murderer (murdering people is not cool but that edgy haircut and tattoos got me). I believe Clint is there for three main reasons: to show how pain and grief could change a person, to have the original Avengers together again at last and because of his friendship with Natasha. The first movie we get to know a bit more about Clint’s relation with Nat is The Avengers and she mentions having a debt with Clint for sparing her life and as the movies go on we see their friendship blossom and they just care so much about each other. After her death everyone is devastated, mostly Clint and he above all, feels a sense of duty to do everything right and save the vanished half of humanity while hoping they could bring her back as well. Clint comes back to his family and maybe this will be it for him, I feel like he’ll retire, for good this time.

Thor Odinson: many people are complaining on the Russos’ portrayal of Thor but I think it’s genius. In Infinity War, Thor could’ve killed Thanos but he should’ve gone for the head and he feels guilty about it. He feels like all the deaths are his fault, lost everyone he loved and he’s depressed. Thor has always been the character that brings the comic relief and giving him this role in this movie was important because it’s a farewell movie. Nevertheless, there are sone emotional scenes he’s involved like the one with Frigga giving him advice and comfort and the battle scene. Ragnarok Thor is the best Thor so I don’t think they’ll throw it away soon.

Hulk/Bruce Banner: Professor Hulk is so great but I always thought they didn’t really give enough attention to him. He’s always been a sort of secondary Avenger and the only times he got more screen time was in Age of Ultron and Thor Ragnarok. In the former he snaps after being mind controlled by Scarlet Witch and is pretty shaken up afterwards which leads to a heartfelt conversation with Natasha where both talk about their traumatic past and never feeling like they belong in the Avengers. Also in this scene they have an awkward romantic moment that makes me cringe, sorry. Meanwhile, the latter has Banner trapped into the Hulk for a while after the battle of Sokovia and when Banner comes back he’s scared to turn into the Hulk again and never be able to come back, so they finally found a balance in Endgame. He’s obviously really smart but I don’t thik he’s fully appreciated and like Thor, in some parts he’s also a comic relief. I really hope he comes back and we can see more of him.

I guess this is it for now and I still haven’t fully recovered from it but overall it’s the best Marvel movie I’ve seen and by far the most epic. I’m really excited to see what they’ll make in the next movies and how they’re going to move forward with this new and expanded universe :)

Endgame

There might be spoilers ahead... this movie was an emotional roller coaster. I laughed, cried, cringed, was super shocked, and cried more, like waterfalls... how dare you make me cry in a movie theater, MCU... anyways...

I love captain America, obviously... He has come along ways from the small little kid. I am glad he got his happy ending after all. She is one lucky girl!

I was super excited when cap was able to wield mjonir. It was awesome!! I was excited as Thor.

Speaking of Thor... can he go back to being his normal self. Was not expecting him to be like this at all. I was shocked and I cringed. I understand why he was in that state but omg. I did like the electricity giving his beard a braid. That was cool.

The whole tony scene after he snaps his finger, I was crying cause I knew what was coming. I am not a huge iron man fan but he did not deserve to go out that way. That was cruel and devastating. He was the only one who could do it but it was heartbreaking.

When they were trying to sacrifice themselves. I was in awe. They were doing what they thought was right. Natasha was doing it for everyone and Hawkeye was doing it to make things right. I did tear up cause they were best friends and protected one another. I couldn’t imagine living without my best friend.

We love you all!! Tony, Steve, Thor, Natasha, Clint, and Bruce. You will forever be in our hearts. Thank you for the last decade. You made it amazing. People will move on but not us. ❤️

so when I saw infinity war the second time, i brought a pen and a notebook with me and took notes in the dark the whole time. for my second endgame viewing yesterday, i did the same. i now present to you my Thoughts About Endgame. (this is. long.)

Major Spoilers Ahead.

okay seriously, nobody called clint up when there was a giant invasion in wakanda??? nobody???

also it was daytime in wakanda when the snap happened. it’s also daytime wherever clint is in america when the snap happens. someone explain.

god the dawning panic when clint realizes his family is gone. that whole scene is so empty and unsettling, it was shot really well

i automatically associate 80s music with space thanks to marvel.

tony stark adopting strays everywhere he goes since 2013.... i love this about him

nebula finally got to win something!!!! “it was fun.”

and then she gives him their final ration. i’m- :((((

back on earth..... thank god the beard is gone.

“I lost the kid” tony’s face wow that’s devastating, no thanks

“Is um...” what was tony going to say after that??

“I thought you were a build-a-bear.” “Maybe I am.” fuckign.... tony please sdfgdfg

“And I needed you.” tony :(((

“No trust. Liar.” this entire scene is just. chilling. heartbreaking. tony has nothing left for anyone, and especially nothing left for steve, except-

him ripping the metaphorical heart out of his chest and handing it to steve made me literally gasp the first time i watched this film. i feel like it hasn’t been talked about enough, but it’s incredibly poetic.

“where are you going?” “to kill thanos” i haven’t seen captain marvel but i’m already in love with carol danvers

and now they have hope, they still think they can bring everyone back... what a dangerous thing

suddenly steve is looking at his locket of peggy all the time.starting in this film only. can we let him grieve for his actual friends?? you know, the ones he just lost? does he even mention sam or bucky in the entire film? alright russos, i have several bones to pick with you about this, but alright....

i gotta say, when i first watched this i was astounded that thanos destroyed the stones and then got beheaded in the first twenty minutes. it really left me wondering, well- what now? and that was exciting.

five years later. i mean, we knew there would be a time jump, but i wasn’t expecting this.

we’re really calling this cameo by russo representation huh

lol

and like??? steve brings up nobody he lost in the snap, instead chosing to focus on “the love of his life” that he met and lost in 1945. this struck me as odd the first time i watched and now i’m like. man they’re really trying 2 justify their later decision, huh

so they’re calling those who were snapped “The Vanished” according to the sanfran memorial

avengers r still a thing and their complex has actually grown in size?? who is funding this. is it tony

my next note just says HAIR SDFDSDFG aka heLLO carol danvers

nat :((((

crying and eating a sandwich is a mood

god. the quiet grief

natasha romanoff has come such a long way from her introduction in iron man 2. she cries freely, loves her family, actively wants to be a better person, even if a lot of her family isn’t around today. i just- love her so much.

“we both need to get a life.” “you first.” goddamnit

i.... love happy, peaceful, good dad Tony Stark, so much.

“define lunch or be disintegrated” morgan h stark is so cute

“you like going in the garage, huh? so does daddy.” tony was already so proud of her god i just :((((

me, zooming in on nat: ARROW NECKLACE

does she only wear that when she’s missing clint, or

I’m truly in my feelings about Tony being The Best Dad

Bruce apparently spent 18 months in a gamma lab, which is interesting.

god the scene with the kids asking for a selfie was so cringe are you telling me they could include this but steve couldn’t mourn for his friends

tony does dishes now. a true housedad.

that’s!!!! his first son!!!!!! :((((((

can you believe it was peter parker who pushed tony to invent time travel

“i’ve got something on my mind.” “is it juice pops?” i’m just thinking now about how howard most definitely would have sent tony straight to bed, but tony lets morgan stay up and eat juice pops with him. this is just. straight up great content.

“I love you 3000�� can you just. his face when she says that. also i’m never getting over that phrase ever

“I can stop,” Tony says, on the brink of inventing time travel.

“But would you be able to rest?” says Pepper, who has been trying and failing to get him to stop for a good 15 years.

the parallels between this and her last words to tony. ouch.

this is such a good and steady relationship now :(.

sdfgfdfg why is steve dressing like he’s from the 40s again is this a visual sign of his regression

god they did thor so dirty in this film. not with his character- him falling into great depression and having ptsd is not a bad thing, but treating it like a joke is. the audience is invited to laugh at him. Bad.

thor threatening “noobmaster69″ over the headset for his rock friend is very funny though.

hey tokyo looks alright compared to a lot of america.

every single clintasha scene in this film kills the man.

also everyone knows thanos’s name. i assume that means the world knows why everyone disappeared.

“you’re only a genius on earth” yeah but who invented time travel, rocket

rhodey wanting to straight up murder baby thanos is hilarious

the explanations of time travel in this film give me a headache

“TIME HEIST BRAINSTORMING SESSION”

bruce, nat and tony all laying around throwing ideas back and forth.... this movie is valid sometimes

“see you in a minute,” natasha says, and she’s smiling.

this is her family you guys :(((((

NEW YORK 2012

MY FAVOURITE SCENE

omg bruce making such a halfhearted attempt at smashing things please i love

okay cut to 2013 Asgard, and Thor sneaks right by his currently dead brother without even looking at him. this movie confuses me

fuck the scene where rocket slaps thor for having a panic attack. i’m glad thor ended up abandoning him.

okay so everything important happens between 2012-2014

cap/tony/scott, clintasha, nebula/rhodey.... these are such ideal teamups

“we’re a long way from budapest” give me my clintasha movie, marvel!!!

okay back in 2012, HOW did JARVIS not register the fact that there were two steves and two tonys in Stark Tower

god this entire scene is fucking hilarious the entire mcu was worth everything for the 2012 time travel scene

fuckign.... loki

ELEVATOR SCENE

as a cap 2 stan i feel so validated

HA IL HYDRA

WHEN I SAY I GASPED IN DELIGHT

CAP VS CAP

“I CAN DO THIS ALL DAY”

“YEAH, I KNOW, I KNOW”

sadfgfdfg are u really telling me that cap takes the peggy locket everywhere

BUCKY IS ALIVE

THAT IS AMERICAS ASS SDFGFSDF PLEASE

2012 avengers best avengers

meanwhile the sorcerer lady is giving bruce a time travel lesson and i didn’t understand any of it but basically each reality requires six stones in order to not be torn apart by the forces of darkness? ??

I’m just glad thor got some kind of closure by talking to his mom

side note you can definitely tell that frigga raised loki

“EAT A SALAD”

“i’m still worthy” asdfgfdf yeah but now this timeline thor has no hammer!!!

QUILL SDFGFDSDFGHFDS

this movie is so entertaining

i live for nebula and rhodey just judging everyone

so do the guardians just.... not happen in the 2014 timeline?

gamora is ready to Fight thanos when the maw threatens nebula

was that young alexander pierce headed underground in 1970?

bone 2 pick with this whole time travel thing

thor got closure by talking to his mom

tony got closure by talking to his dad

steve saw peggy working, successful and thriving, through a window. closure where????

he should have gotten a chance to talk to her and received closure that way.

hank pym is an asshole but i guess we already knew that

“my wife is expecting” so tony was born 1970/1971 ig

howard’s dad beat him with a belt. i suppose every stark does a little better parenting-wise

Jarvis!!!!!!! agent carter is canon!!!!

vormir oh god here we go

“under different circumstances, this would be totally awesome” i’m inclined to agree with clint

this part goddamit

handholding :((((

my next note just says “aveng ers 1 paralels fu k”

the way this was filmed was beautiful. the colours, the lighting, the acting, the dialogue, the parallels to the first clintasha fight in avengers 1..... if natasha had to die, this was.... a good death, i think.

“damn you!”

“it’s okay.”

clint is begging her this hurts so much :(((

god. tears.

clint just sobbing in the water with the soul stone in his hand hits some kind of way

where is natasha’s funeral, huh??? why does steve shed like one (1) tear?

also why does the gauntlet need to physically be snapped like what does that dO

i just realized that thor’s fake eye is amber.

Infinity Stones:

almost killed thanos after 2 uses

destroyed bruce’s arm

killed tony

imagine an alternate scene where all six original avengers survived until this point and all of them held one stone as they snapped thanos’s army out of existence. that would have been the ultimate fanservice and i would have astral projected. anyway we’re getting off topic

“don’t change anything from the last five years.” what tony means is “please don’t erase my daughter”.

SNAP

yay they did it except-

how did everyone survive thanos blowing up the avengers compound

2014 gamora sounds just- slightly different than 2018 gamora. a little harsher. the guardians haven’t yet softened her edges.

“we become sisters” and suddenly gamora has hope

i- did that lightning just braid thor’s hair sdfgdsdfgh

this is a harsher thanos. thanos who died in 2018 had been changed. weakened, maybe.

thor, cap and tony fought in avengers one. now, they’re fighting thanos together.

l just. love that clint has a sword now.

“he won’t let me” nebula.... :(((((( and she dies crying

i have a note here that says “thor’s lightning + tony = c o o l”

STEVE WITH MJOLNIR

ASDFGFSDF FUCK THIS WAS WORTH EVERYTHING MARVEL HAS EVER PUT ME THROUGH

LIGHTNING POWERS

i LIVE

oooh it’s personal for thanos now

YOUR

LEFT

the portals scene fUCK

this is just. worth it. on every level.

PETER AND TONY

“this is nice” please :((((((

poor peter quill gets snapped, gamora’s loss fresh in his mind, then he thinks he’s gotten her back and she’s not the gamora he knew. ouch.

tell me why everyone but steve gets a reunion scene lol

peter introducing himself to everyone!!!! he’s so sweet.

CAPTAIN MARVEL HAS ARRIVED

i’m gay. oh my god.

hhhhgn hair

GIRLS

this is fanservice!!! as in, i am a fan and i feel fuckign SERVICED

thor duel welding mjolnir and stormbreaker is AWESOME.

strange holds up one finger. tony gives a look of heartbreaking acceptance.

god. tony stark, you brave, brave man. he knew he wasn’t going to survive this one.

“I am inevitable.”

“I. am. Iron Man.”

SNAP (2)

you lose, thanos.

but also, i lose, because oh god tony.

peter :(((

“Mr Stark!”

“Sir!!”

“Tony!!”

oh. fuck.

“you can rest now” do you SEE the parallels to the earlier conversation between tony and pepper :(((

the arc reactor going out physically broke me

i didn’t take many notes after this because i was literally sobbing lol

“I love you 3000″ stabs me again

“proof that tony stark has a heart” yes well my heart is breaking

happy :((( is morgan’s jarvis :(((((

Queen!!!! Valkyrie!!!

this dick measuring contest between Quill and Thor got old five hours of content ago.

:))))) rage time :))))))

bruce tried to bring back nat with the snap :(((

oh god bucky.

his face!!!!! his voice!!!! he’s trying to be strong and find but he looks dead inside

i just- fuck. he knew and he let steve go.

why did he show up on that bench i don’t understand

“I’m happy for you” are you telling me sam wasn’t the least bit hurt or mad

the ONLY good thing about this is Captain Sam

fuck steve tho

what year is this dance in

i mean. it’s sweet. but this is not steve.

I think i’ve talked enough about my dislike of the direction steve’s character went in in this film. that was the major point of dislike for me, but given that the council has made a stupid ass decision i’ve elected to ignore it. i understand that both tony and steve had to make their exist from the franchise here, but.... there were better ways to go about that.

i think a few different relationships slipped through the cracks here- characters suddenly grieving people they haven’t seen in /years/ and completely ignoring others who only recently died was a big one for me. but other characters saw a lot of development- nebula was a favourite of mine in this film, which i was not expecting! she and rhodey made a really good team- i feel like they understand one another.

the Original Six all saw a decent amount of screen time, which i appreciated. nobody got left behind there. there were so many references to other films that i know i didn’t catch them all, but it really made this movie seem like a love letter to the fans.

i want to make it clear that i actually loved most of this film. i think it was a good send off for the avengers and i love a good time travel plot (like, it’s one of my all-time favourite tropes. i was vibrating with excitement in the theater during the 2012 scenes.) i went in expecting a lot of the emotion to be sidelined in favor of plot and action, and while that happened a little bit, i was overall pleasantly surprised with the amount of emotion that they fit into this film. characterization and emotion is perhaps even more important to me than a good plot, and this film got the emotion down.

it’s definitely not a perfect film but it could have been so much worse, so i’m grateful that we got a good sendoff for the avengers.

7/10.

Endgame review that is really more of a Rant then anything else because Fuck you Marvel.

Disclaimer: I hate pretty much everything about this movie and am still pissed enough that there is going to be a lot of cussing. Also, this is going to contain spoilers.

Let’s start with the character that I had the most hope for walking into this movie. Tony fucking Stank. I read the spoilers so I knew that he was going to get a heroic death. I also knew that he hesitated to save the world because he got his happy ending.

I didn’t realize how much I would hate him for every word that came out of his mouth. Tony Stank really doesn’t give a shit about anyone but himself. He gets his happily ever after so fuck everyone else. Oh and he’s guilty over losing Peter so he’s going to blame everyone else even though he’s the one that split up the Avengers by locking up half of them in an underwater prison. He’s the one that had a way to contact Steve, knew about the attack because of Bruce, but was too petty to make the damn phone call. But nope it’s all Steve’s fault that he decided to go to Titan and fight Thanos there instead of regrouping with everyone else. He fucked up, but Tony can’t admit that so it’s on everyone else. Piece of shit.

then Scott comes back five years later with an idea, but nope Tony can’t help save everyone because he’s got his precious little girl. Fuck everyone else who lost their families. At least the picture of Peter and him exists because otherwise, he wouldn’t have done shit. Oh and he insists that they keep the five years since the snap intact meaning that he’s robbing half the universe of five years of life because why the fuck not? Alright, I get him not wanting to lose his baby girl but I also don’t care because fuck him, fuck him so badly for not giving a shit about any of the other people in the universe. He’s such shit. Like honestly the only decent thing he does is die, oh and his conversation with Howard was interesting because it proves that Howard never physically abused Tony. Sorry stans, guess you can’t use that as an excuse anymore.

Now the character that I love the most who was screwed... Steve. God, he’s fucking pathetic in this movie. Like where the fuck was his obsession with Peggy in any other movie that he was in? Where the fuck was it because this movie implied that it had been something that he had been holding onto for the fourteen (okay thirteen years) that he had been in the future, even though on screen we saw him moving on... No, he’s been carrying that stupid ass compass around with him since he woke up from the ice, just didn’t have a reason to pull it out until Endgame. Such fucking bullshit. He’s so damn pathetic when it comes to her in this movie. Not that she’s much better... Still having a torch for him in 1970 after he had been dead for 30 years. Super fucking pathetic. Like omg, they knew each other for a max of two years, kissed once, and had like five total conversations. But nope the love of his life, poor Sharon she was completely screwed. (I am so going to write out a fic where Steve goes back to the love of his life and finds out that she’s a pale comparison to the actual love of his life). Honestly, if you wanted a Steve that was hung up on Peggy still, having him move on was stupid, and this should have been set up in the previous movies instead of feeling completely out of the blue. Oh and as everyone else already has said, his ending completely ruins a lot of the great lines from the previous cap movies, such as his conversation about a situation going south, or the price of freedom. And it completely invalidates his relationship with Bucky, which was already kind of ruined in canon by Civil War. They owed the characters so much more. Oh, and they had to fuck over Steve’s other best friend. Like honestly, fuck you for what you did to Sam and Steve’s relationship. Just fuck you, Russos. I did like Sam getting the shield (course the question becomes how? because it was destroyed in the battle with Thanos, but who cares about that?) Oh and what happened to Mjolnir? because Steve was traveling with it to return the stones. Like the whole can’t move past the forties shtick is so boring and so old.

Course for Steve to still be stuck on Peggy they had to ruin her. I can’t get over the disgust I feel for a woman that married another man, had children with him, to still be into a crush she had at 19... when she’s in her 50′s. it’s all kinds of gross. And sure I adore stories about sweethearts finding each other after a long time, but not when they are in committed relationships with other people. We all knew Agent Carter wasn’t worth anything to the MCU but this proves it.

Bruce was just fucking annoying. Granted, I am not super fond of Banner in general, but Professor Hulk was cringe and annoying and no thanks. I swear I wanted someone to punch him every time he opened his mouth. The only time he was not incredibly annoying was when he talked about Natasha, course they played up the romantic angle for the two of them without ever addressing the issue of him ditching her for years. Like he still held a torch even though everything about the relationship was fail.

Thor was just sad. He’s an alcoholic that has lost all confidence in himself, gained a ton of weight, something that is mocked throughout the movie and is afraid to fight. Until he talks with Frigga (not gonna lie that was a cool scene) but seriously the way they made Thor pathetic was just sad. Oh and so much mocking of his PTSD by pretty much everyone. I guess not being a dick about PTSD only applies to Tony.

Natasha, I actually liked the majority of her plotline. Though that being said killing her off was incredibly stupid if the Black Widow movie is a real thing. I really liked her relationship with Clint, the way that she was helping coordinate the recovery, and the way she was willing to risk everything for a chance to fix things. She had a lot of personality, and I do remember why I adore the character again. I’m also glad that they didn’t put major focus on Steve/Nat. Oh no to make Steve’s storyline work he couldn’t be closely tied with anyone so no real friendships in the present for Steve. Nope, just taking advice from Stank to live life and thinking the only way to do that was to go back to Peggy...

Clint was the only one whose storyline I didn’t massively hate. I liked the way they showed his relationship with Natasha and how both of them care so much about each other. We really got to see them being family in this movie so that wasn’t terrible. And it was powerful to see him lose his family (it wasn’t like the other dusting, they were there and then gone the next second... a much better way to show everyone being gone imo then that dumbass over the top speech by Peter in Infinity War.) And his scenes after returning with the soul stone, and the fight against Thanos were kickass. Also seeing Lila Barton have her daddy’s talent for shooting arrows was terrific. Clint is a great father, and I loved the hints of it and his love for his family in this film. He just wasn’t enough to redeem the bullshit for me.

Wanda...barely in the film but kickass during the fight. It was great to watch her go head-to-head with Thanos, and having the call back to Infinity War with Okoye when the girls were trying to get the iron infinity stone glove away was great. I’m down for an all-women team-up movie a billion times more now then I was before this movie and I already knew that I still wanted that. Course now I would try to figure out how to pirate it because FUCK MARVEL.

Sam, idk. There were things I liked. Him becoming Captain America (if you are going to screw Steve like this, I’d rather Sam then Bucky any day of the week). His on your left and reaching out to steve over comms when he so desperately needed that little push to keep fighting. I despise the implication that he doesn’t know Steve because of his freak out about the past, and the fact that Steve was keeping secrets from him even though other movies have shown that to BULLSHIT.

Bucky, Steve fucked him over because he was too obsessed with Peggy to give a shit about his BFF being tortured by Hydra. It’s fucking gross and totally goes against who Steve is in the rest of the series. I did like the hug, seeing him shooting Thanos's army and the easiness between him and Sam. Other than that eh.

Valkyrie was awesome in the movie. I don’t like her much because of the slaver thing, but she was really great for her five minutes, two of being a leader and three of fighting (and I’m only sort of joking)

Nebula- I’m not sure I understand why Thanos and his people were about to see what future Nebula’s memory system knew And I wasn’t super into her babying of the shithead but other than that I liked the character. I wish they would put more emphasis on the sisterly relationship she’s building with Gamora.

Rocket- didn’t really like the way that he mocked Thor’s issues. However, he was a fun character.

Rhodey- He was annoying at the beginning but I liked the fact that he didn’t follow Tony’s example and say FUCK THE WORLD. And I did enjoy some of his lines at the end of the movie. such as the way he addresses the fact that he’s disabled with Nebula, creating a connection between them. (much better than the condescending way that Tony talked to her at the beginning). And I liked how the disability impacted him negatively during the final fight. It was nice to see something that is actually a medical necessity.

I did like the final battle. It was well done and I enjoyed the different fighting styles, bring back dusted characters, seeing who fought with who, and the devasting strength of Thanos. And the way that Carol really turned the tide. Tony’s death scene was incredibly dumb... Honestly, someone get Peter as far away from these kinds of fightings as possible because the kid doesn’t know how to handle shit.

There is probably so much more to add to this but honestly, I’m tired and it’s already long af. This movie sucks, be prepared for it to be worse then you expect, if you wanted to see Tony actually be a hero without having be convinced other people matter. If you wanted to see Steve continue with the path that he’s been on since Winter Soldier and suddenly decides that he’s more into Peggy than he is anything else. If you wanted to see more of Ragnorak’s Thor. If you wanted more for Natasha then her death, something that only bothers me/Odin with actual issues.

#Endgame spoilers #I hate this movie so much #adding more later #but probably going to be similar sizes.

Watch "Accept - Balls to the Wall" on YouTube

youtube

There's a huge groups going to the wall it took these guys a while to figure out that they should try and be a Giants and then go at it was maybe some wrecking balls and nukes and it did take everybody else a while too it's after the matrix and after the Lord of the rings and it's John Riva Lord and he goes out there he does his crew dies right in front of his eyes and it's because he hit the wall the wrong way with the ball and he murdered them by accident and decided to kill himself so he rode the ball in and it released for some reason and smashed into the wall and he is obliterated and that's the end of him. This happens in approximately week and a half and to be more accurate it's almost 2 weeks. And he dies fully general grievous is a true mutant and took over robots and looks like Stan shoots him it's like azog and bolge you certainly do they were born mutants and he was saying bilge because it spelled it that way on the computer and his mom cringed no Camilla did.

And his son said that you murder a swine you murdered your people and your marriage yourself and here it is I'm doing it for real in video before he does it

Thor Freya

And yes it is because of what he did to other people's clans and attacked them too. She gets him back for it and it's her because they lost the Midwest because of his shenanigans and they're losing more people now cuz he keeps on doing it in there and is an idiot

Hera Zues

We're here Hera it feels like the first time she tells him off quite a bit like a big lug like the hulk so it's going one way and she's steer him. But seriously folks he's pretty big it gets bigger taller and bigger pretty soon that's a jackasses are out. It makes jokes it says I don't have any money for all these clothes and some of them still fit cuz he bought them pretty big like the jacket just barely it says how am I going to prove who I am it doesn't match the license height and laugh right now 5'10 huh and he has some lines already and you're 5'4 so it's kind of funny is it always short and I can't tell and it's going to work out it's going forward but that's trying thats john remelord's last day at work

Olympus

I guess I get to say something I do appreciate the clarity of clarification and I see why it happened to them and there are devastated when you plan to use them all of them and this particular instance it would have been much more helpful and with this little idiots doing is ridiculous but our friend says he's very stupid and I mean in the case of not knowing about the balls of diamond. I do realize something you may have known how they work and stuff but didn't believe they were there cuz he's an a****** to our friend and never believes anything and supposedly that's a good thing and then what a prick he was in westborough to him is sitting there saying stupid s*** about him and shoot him a glance and say yes no he's talking about and he'd always say f*** you Joel just like Dave. I need to send it real loud and he added your f****** queer gay boy fish and Joel ran away since I don't f****** say it if you can't follow up on anything and it's throwing rocks at him and hit him right in the head. One day he was out there with Kingsley throwing rocks from the stupid job hit the dog in the head and the lady turns around says that was you fired rocks off at him the sitting there insulting me and threatening me and saying all the stupid s*** at me she said I don't want this job done this way and I want to assume would you back me up instead of course so she fired him it came back to him and he's saying that he would back her up it's in there looks like s*** I'm going to say back rub he said you realize you work for me so you're forcing me to work for you I don't really want to I'll say to say why don't you quit that's a good idea so the next week he quit. His mouth dropped and in his eyes were open and said you can't afford the truck cuz of me that's right you're a freak send it to him too amen at his house and he was going to try and capture him and said you're a prick and you just like these other idiots and trying to capture me and they're going to come by and kill you I should memorize it stupid I said that to him since you can't say that to me I said listen you're going to come by and kill you now shut the f****** f****** useless piece of s*** and say that too and he's driving away and he's collaborating and blabbing and plabbing but nobody heard him except people watching them tape also he said well I guess I could come and get me it came out and they got him probably died all the way and we have a new idiot in the same body so this is why it's filmed to make sure people know he's dead his wife is going to be crushed it's after Neo and after Lord of the rings and thank God and I actually know who the lizard man is it's not that bad of a guy but if he's in your face it's horrendous just like John Riva Lord is but usually it's for a reason this break next door just does it out of blue or thinks he can if he has the power to he's ridiculous he's doing it now playing his TV loud so I want him out of there

Loki’s Children

Author: Nat / @idontgiveaflyinggrayson69

Requested: Yes – Anonymous

Fandom: Avengers

Relationship: Married; Loki x Reader

Summary: Loki and the Reader live in a farmhouse in the countryside of Asgard and have many babies.

Word Count: 1.5k

Warnings: Minor Character Death.

Comments: Fenrir and Hela are Loki’s children because that’s how it should be.

After Loki got his redemption standing beside you, his wife, his brother, Thor, the last of the Valkyries, and the Hulk against his daughter, Hela, Loki decided he wanted to take some leave.

You and Loki had Hela centuries ago and she grew so strong so quickly, so Odin banished her, just as he had with your other children, Jormungand and Fenrir. But, unlike your other children, Hela wanted revenge and she had the power to execute her revenge plan.

So, Hela invaded Asgard and you and Loki had to stand against your daughter. It was easily the hardest thing either of you had ever done. She had killed so many and she was so cold. It hurt you deeply looking at the women in front of you and seeing a monster instead of your daughter.

That final stand against Hela on the Bifrost was the hardest moments of your life. You watched as the Hulk killed your eldest son, Fenrir, and your husband drove a sword through Hela’s heart. People before had tried to kill her, but none of them worked. Hela had only one weakness and it was a weakness only her parents knew.

Hela wouldn’t stop. You and Loki tried to talk with her and come to a sort of agreement, but she wouldn’t listen. Nothing you said or did made her stop. Loki knew what had to be done and it was the worst realization of his life. He was one of the two people capable of killing Hela and he knew that he would have to. He wouldn’t let you go through the pain of killing your daughter, so Loki knew that he would have to kill his daughter.

And he did.

Loki gave you a sad look before he ran for the small ship so he could get back to the palace and retrieve the only weapon capable of killing his daughter. And he drove the sword through Hela’s heart.

Pain. Grief. Sorrow.

Nothing in your life had hurt more than watching your husband kill your only daughter just moments after you witnessed your eldest son’s death.

The monster had been defeated and Thor was crowned King and Asgard was going to rebuild.

But you and Loki needed space and time to recover from the loss of half of your children, so the two of you moved to a farmhouse in the country side of Asgard, far away from the rest of the people.

It would be the perfect place for the two of you to cope and recover, and it was for the best of Asgard. Asgard wasn’t happy that Loki had faked his death and banished Odin, only to pretend to be Odin to have the throne, and it was your daughter with the help of your son that attempted to rule Asgard, which came at the costs of hundreds of Asgardian lives. An isolated farmhouse would be perfect, far away from everyone who also needed to recover from the devastating events.

The both of you were grateful for Jormungand and Sleipnir’s survival, not that you or Loki would ever see Jormungand again… But you still had Sleipnir, so the two of you brought him with you when you moved to the farmhouse and he had his own field to run in and his own stable to sleep in.

You and Loki lived calmly at the farmhouse for years. You and him grew closer and found closure with the deaths of your children and the two of you found a happiness that you hadn’t had before.

The first baby was an accident and he came three years after the two of you moved to the farmhouse. Neither of you were planning on having any more children after the first four were “monsters.” But nonetheless, you ended up pregnant.

The pregnancy was your easiest pregnancy to date. Loki sent for Eir a week before you were expected to give birth and you went into labor the day after she arrived. The labor was relatively easy and the baby boy was Æsirian.

The baby was perfectly normal and healthy and it wasn’t long before you and Loki were trying for another baby.

In the end, you and Loki had five children during the ten years you were living at the farmhouse and the two of you had another one on the way.

Ten years after the two of you walked away from Asgard, Thor decided to take a visit to see his brother, and sister in law.

Thor expected to see Sleipnir alone in the field next to a dark, depressing farmhouse, instead Thor found a bright farmhouse. A bright farmhouse with Loki sitting on the porch with a large smile on his lips and three small children running around in the ground in front of the house.

Thor was shocked at the miniature people screaming and laughing and once the children saw him approach the house, they all went running to their father.

Loki shushed his children before walking off the porch towards Thor.

“Ten years and you come to visit us?” Loki replied coolly.

“I wanted to give the two of you some space, and rebuilding Asgard and Kingly duties took time and I truly did not know it had been a decade, brother.” Thor replied.

Thor had changed in those ten years, just as you and Loki had.

Thor’s short hair had grown back to his wonderful length locks, he wore new, more king like armor and he looked bigger as he had put on more muscle after becoming King. Loki lost some of his muscle mass and his wardrobe lost its royal touch as he swapped in his Princely suits and such for more farm appropriate clothing. And your body had changed. Five children and another baby on the way took its toll on your body, adding stretch marks and extra weight that seemed it would never leave.

Loki nodded to his brother and looked back behind him to check on his three eldest children, his three boys.

“I see you and (Y/N) have been… busy.” Thor said, with a smile as he looked at the children.

Loki smiled softly and turned back to Thor. “Come, I’ll introduce you to your nephews.”

Thor nodded with a soft smile.

Him and Loki walked side by side towards the house.

“(Name), (Name) and (Name), I would like you to meet my brother, your uncle, and King of Asgard, Thor.” Loki said once him and Thor reached the house.

The two younger boys tried to hide behind the eldest. Thor squatted down in front of the children and extended his hand to the eldest. “Hello. I’m your uncle Thor and it is truly a privilege to meet you.”

The eldest, (Name), shook Thor’s hand hesitantly, which made Thor’s own heart flutter.

Thor waited and slowly the other two boys stepped out from behind (Name) to shake Thor’s hand. After meeting all three of the boys, Thor stood and turned back to Loki.

“They’re all normal.” Thor commented with a smile, clapping Loki on the back.

Loki opened his mouth to answer when you opened the front door, stepping out of the house with your two girls: your one year old on your hip and your three year old hugging your leg.

“There’s more?!” Thor shouted looking at you.

Thor’s loud voice caused your youngest, (Name), to start crying. Thor cringed at his action and Loki shot his brother a glare as you calmed your baby girl, slowly getting her to stop crying.

“Sorry.” Thor whispered and you shrugged your shoulders.

“You have five children and another one on the way? Odin’s beard the two of you have been busy….” Thor mumbled, shaking his head at all the children on the front porch.

You glared at Thor, but didn’t say anything.

You were seven months pregnant and it was hard with your five other small children running around causing havoc, but you and Loki were happy.

You winched a little as you felt a kick against your ribs and stepped forwards to pass (Name) to Loki, your three year old taking that moment to run behind Loki.

“Are you alright?” Thor asked, concern flooding his features.

“It’s just a kick.” You replied, your now free hand rubbing over your belly to sooth your baby.

Thor’s concern melted to wonder and he stepped towards you.

“Can I?” He asked softly and you nodded, taking Thor’s hand and pressing it over where the baby had just kicked you.

It didn’t take long before Thor felt a small kick and a few tears lined his eye. “That’s truly magical and I am so happy for the two of you.”

“Thank you, Thor.” You smiled, wrapping him in a hug.

Spies and Gods - Chapter 7

Summary: Reader wants to try and befriend Loki, but turns out he's a bit more difficult than expected.

Word Count: 3,051

A/N: Hi starlights (that's what I'm calling you lovely people for now on lol)! Sorry for the super later update, classes have gotten busy and quite a lot of personal mishaps occurred, but don't worry! I have a lot of plans for fics including this one, I'm even going to have a schedule to try and upload at least once or twice a month until I can get stabled with my irl schedule, then I could try and go for every other week. Thanks for reading!

Chapter 6 | Chapter 8

The next day you woke up with a to-do list fresh in your head.

First, you were going to fulfill your promise to Tony by helping him with his prototypes. He’s been working on new gear the last month for the team, he wanted you to jot notes down and maybe try one of the devices that won’t blow you up.

Secondly, you wanted to try and decipher your new neighbor, find out what it was that made him so mysterious. You could go with the direct approach, but you didn’t want to seem like an idiot and bug him. Perhaps inching your way little by little into his circle you could eventually discover more about the tall, dark haired demigod.

Before you could check anything off of your list, your stomach begged for something to eat. You changed into a new set of clothes for the day while sending continuous text messages to Lilly and Maya about the deity next door. Their response was what you would’ve expected, with them wanting to meet him and if he was cute. You rolled your eyes and made your way to the kitchen for some breakfast.

There you found the god of thunder drinking coffee from a mug that looked puny with his hand wrapped around it. Thor grinned ear to ear the moment he saw you walk through the doors, “Good morning, daughter of Stark!” He boomed, taking a sip from the tiny mug. “I hope you rested well.”

“Morning.” you forcefully smiled, you didn’t want to tell him of you and his brother’s awkward encounter the night before. You mentally cringed at yourself for going to Loki’s room in the first place. Speaking of which, looking around the room you didn’t see Loki, or frankly anyone else. It was just you and Thor, the god of thunder. This moment sparked an idea, since Thor grew up with Loki he could tell you everything you wanted to know about this god of mischief living next door.

“So, how are you and your brother adjusting here?” You asked, nonchalantly. You didn’t want to appear desperate.

“It’s been splendid!” Thor beamed, “I learn something new about your people’s way of life everyday. Yesterday, Stark showed me this thing called an ‘app’ on my cellular phone where I can match these small, colorful candies and they explode if I match certain ones.” The look on his face when he explained something as simple as Candy Crush made you smile, it was like watching a toddler discovering their reflection for the first time. “As for Loki, he’s taking it steadily. It has not been easy since his first visit here was… unpleasant.”

“Right, with the whole alien invasion thing. Why’s he staying here then? These people kind of did fight and defeat him.”

“Wasn’t entirely his choice,” Thor’s smile slowly descended, yet he still kept his positive vibe and attitude, “since my people have been here, Loki and I have tried our best to get them settled in and accustomed to your culture. We are no longer a kingdom, but I will still visit at the end of the month to make sure everyone is sustaining. I entrusted my good friend Heimdall to keep watch over my people while I help here. After we were done, I wasn’t sure of what to do with Loki. Obviously I couldn’t let him roam on his own, for he is technically a war criminal on this planet, yet I don’t wish to see him locked in prison for eternity. I spoke with Stark and Rogers and they both agreed to keep him here where he will be watched closely but have some freedom.”

“Yet they will still treat me as a prisoner.” A voice broke between you and Thor. There stood the god of mischief in his black and green Asgardian attire, “Pardon me if I’m interrupting your gossip about me, brother.” This was the first time you heard his voice. It was smooth with a touch of roughness when he spoke certain syllables, his accent similar to his brother’s.

“We were not gossiping, Loki, lady Y/N was simply asking about our adjustment to her society.”

Loki looked at you as if he didn’t realize you were there in the first place. His green eyes shifted up and down examining you, “The daughter of Stark. I expected something, different, when I first heard Stark had a child.” The way he spoke was almost demeaning, as if he was deliberately trying to demoralize you.

“What kind of different?” You questioned.

Loki let out a single, breathy laugh, “All mortals are pathetic, but there are few who have exceeded my expectations since my first arrival, including Stark. I would imagine that if he were to have any offspring they would live up to his degree of glory, but I was mistaken. Underwhelmed, as a matter of fact.”

Your blood started boiling in your veins. Who did he think he was to say those things to your face? Loki’s a prince, big whoop. He’s not on his planet now, you’d think that he would have a little more respect to the inhabitants, especially the one across the hall. It took every ounce of your mental and physical state to not sock this guy on the nose. Instead, you clenched your jaw and grabbed your favorite cereal from the cupboard with more force than you intended to. You didn’t care, you continued to get the bowl and spoon while you tried to calm yourself down and ignore Loki’s comments.

“Loki, remember, we are guests. There is no need for such words.” Thor tried to alleviate your anger by taking your side, except it would take a lot more than a stern talk with Loki to calm you down, “These people offered you a home when you know well they could have taken you to their authorities where you would be locked away for the rest of your life. The least you can do is be polite to lady Y/N.”

Loki slowly shook his head, giving Thor a disapproving look, “Is there a difference whether I’m in this prison or another here on Midgard? Either option I am trapped on this wretched planet.”

You paused as you opened the refrigerator, your face hidden behind the door. He really did think of Earth as a prison. But why? From what the rest of the team told you Loki was taken back to Asgard after the attack on New York to pay for his crimes. He acted as if he wanted to be back home to serve his time, or anywhere in fact. Did he feel remorse for the devastation he conflicted all those years ago? No, that couldn’t be it. Still, you thought the same thing when you were with Hydra, desperately wanting to get rid of the cause of your greatest guilt. You didn’t care if you were sent to jail, as long as you were far away from Hydra, the facility you lived in, Kilcher, or anything that was remotely tied to your past. Loki was now stuck on the planet he tried to conquer, constantly reminding him of his own past.

Quit it, stop feeling empathetic for him. Not even a moment ago Loki mocked you, your species, your planet- now’s not the time to feel sorry for him.

Thor glared at his brother, “Brother, you may sulk all you want, but I demand that you apologize to lady Y/N.”

Loki turned his gaze on you, lips pursed in a thin line, “My apologies…” Loki’s eyes looked down before he revealed a coy smirk, “My apologies that my brother has fallen for your filth of a planet.”

The sound of Thor smashing his mug on the counter startled you, fragments of ceramic scattering everywhere. “Loki! I swear by the-”

If Loki was going to be difficult, might as well have fun with it. “It’s okay, Thor,” you reassured him, Loki gave you a puzzled yet intrigued look, “Earth might not be the greatest, and I might not be like Tony, but at least I get to leave the building whenever I want, to wherever I please.” You could see Loki’s jaw tighten, his eyes widen in anger and disbelief while he clenched his hand into a fist. You were able to leave the god of mischief with a silver tongue speechless. What you would do to get a picture of this moment.

You grabbed your bowl of cereal and headed towards the doors, not before giving a peace sign to the Norse gods while you used your foot to open the door. You couldn’t see it from the other side of the closed doors, but you knew that Loki would be throwing a fit. Then you realized you probably shouldn’t have pissed off the powerful being next door. So much for trying to be friendly with Loki.

You tried not to think about Loki or your “discussion” with him and his brother, instead you helped Tony all morning with new prototypes he’s been working on. Most of the devices were add ons for his suits, but you did get to witness a few toys for Steve’s shield like adding an extra force field like thing around it. It had a scientific name, but it was too long for you to remember even the first half of it.

Sitting on one of the worktables, you were doodling on the notepad Tony gave you to write down what happened during the tests to the prototypes. You would take notes, but everything Tony told you to write down were scientific words not even a spelling bee champion could guess to spell it right. So instead you put down words like “thingy” and “sciencey stuff” for every word you couldn’t spell and drew poorly drawn sketches of the devices as well as random patterns along the border.

You were so absorbed in one of your designs, you barely heard Tony call your name. “Hey, Y/N!” Tony snapped his fingers in front of your face, jolting your attention back to reality, “You alive? I’ve been rambling the last five minutes. Did you catch any bit of it?”

“Huh?” You let out, “Oh! Yeah, sorry. I guess I zoned out for. What time is it anyway?”

“Wanting to ditch class, can’t blame you.” Tony looked at his shining watch on his wrist, “It’s been a few hours, I guess we can break for lunch.”

Your stomach growled at the thought of food. Tony waved his hand at a few hologram monitors to turn them off, an idea sparked in your head, “Hey, if you want we could go out to eat. I know this great sandwich shop a few blocks from-”

“Sorry, can’t. I promised Pepper I’d meet with her and the wedding planner when I got the chance.” Something inside of you sank. You’d hope that you’d get to know your dad a bit better in an environment where he wasn’t fiddling with some device larger than a phone. “Okay… What about tonight then?”

Tony hissed in a breath of air, “That’s a no go either, got a meeting. Boring stuff for a mission, but it’s gotta be done.” He saw your obvious shift in mood, “But uh- We can rain check, if you want.”

You shrugged in disappointment, “Sure, rain check.”

Tony was clearly oblivious to your emotions, he winked and left as if nothing happened. You understood that he was a busy person, but he was the one who wanted to connect with you. For the past month you’ve only seen him about once every other day, every day if luck was on your side. When you did see him he was still working in his head, barely paying attention to what anyone was saying, but only chimed in with a snarky Stark remark. You wouldn’t be completely discouraged that he wasn’t paying attention to you as much as you’d hoped if the rest of the Avengers weren’t busy as well. The team either went on missions, meetings, training S.H.I.E.L.D recruits, or some sort of research. At the beginning of your stay you felt as though everyone was together, like a family. With your luck you should’ve figured there was a catch to living with the world’s mightiest heroes.

You left the lab not too long after Tony to find something to eat in the kitchen, suddenly not feeling the urge to go out for food like you intended. Walking down the long corridor with only the sound of your footsteps echoing off the walls filled you with a sense of loneliness. Even though you knew there were people scattered around the building somewhere, there was still that empty pit somewhere deep inside that felt familiar. The last time you’ve felt this hollowness was when you were with Hydra when the rest of the children avoided you after you were thrusted with the role of executioner. Your peers stopped talking to you, sitting near you during meals, even went out of their way to not look at you as if you were a monster who would attack at any moment. They were right. The fact that you are a monster created by monsters was what isolated you, not only from the children, but from becoming someone else.

The sudden twinge in your chest slowed your footing, the memories of Hydra, of Marcus, flooding back. All of those children... You took a deep breath. You needed to find someone to get yourself out of your head.

You barely remembered arriving to the kitchen, but the moment you closed the doors you felt a

moment of relief. Until you saw who was sitting in one of the lounge sofas with a magazine in hand.

“Oh, sorry.” you told Loki, his eyes only shifting at you for a brief second before going back to his magazine, “I didn’t think anyone was here, I thought everyone was out-” his green eyes glared at you as you stopped yourself from speaking anymore. You realized what you said now and your earlier conversation, you thought it would be best to shut it entirely before making things worse. “I’ll just… get something to eat.” You shuffled away as Loki rolled his eyes, going back to the magazine.

The kitchen was usually well stocked, but your stomach couldn’t decipher what it was in the mood for. You looked through the cabinets, drawers, fridge, nothing you saw sounded good, even your favorite leftover takeout. As you searched for your lunch, you glanced to Loki who was still silently reading. You were surprised he was out here instead of cooped up in his room like you were your first week. Maybe Thor forced him out as a start to bond with the others. Speaking of which, you thought you should try to make amends. Not that you were going to apologize since he totally started it, but an act of kindness might suffice.

“Did you want anything while I’m over here?” You asked, taking out the bread, “I think I’ll make a sandwich if you want one.” He didn’t say a word or even acknowledged you, Loki continued to read. You looked closer at what magazine he had, “I didn’t take you for a Cosmopolitan guy.” Still nothing. “I’d think you’d be more of a TIME magazine type.”

“I wouldn’t be reading this garbage if this prison had a decent library,” Loki snapped, “or even an actual book or two.”

“Oh.” Don’t pay attention to his attitude, play nice. “What do you like to read?” Good, small talk, that’s a start.

Loki scoffed, “As if you actually care. Did my brother put you up to this?”

You inhaled to try and keep your cool, as Loki was making this difficult yet again, “You don’t have to be skeptical whenever someone is trying to be nice to you.”

“You call mockery kindness?” He tossed the magazine on the coffee table before standing up, finally facing you, “You have a hilarious sense of humor for whatever game you’re trying to play.”

“What are talking about?” You question with folded arms.

“Don’t act so daft. One moment you act like an innocent creature, then the next you-” Loki paused, meeting your eyes with his. You could see rage building behind them, and something else? Could it be sorrow? No, it couldn’t be. Yet again, you don’t know his full story. But you do know that he was about to call you something nasty.

“Next I what? Act like a total bitch because you’re acting like a bratty kid complaining about their life?” You took a few steps towards him. Loki stood his ground as you approached, only a couple feet away from him. “You could be in a worse situation than this you know. You could be in prison with walls barely taller than you with no magazines or your own time to get food, or even the luxury of having a conversation, even if it’s just me getting pissed off!” You stepped closer until you were face to face with the god. You could see the details of his green eyes that are now filled with distress, his face remaining stoic. The two of you ended up in a staring contest for a few moments, both of you silent which was getting on your nerves even more, “Well? Please, say something!”

Loki opened his mouth as if to speak, when you feel something in the air shift. Not tension, but something you couldn’t explain. Physical? Emotional? Whatever it was, something lifted around the two of you like a heavy weight on your shoulders. Was it all in your head, or did Loki have something to do with it?

Suddenly, a faint sound that you couldn’t tell what it was began to form underneath you. By the look on Loki’s face he heard it too. As the sound grew louder, you both realized the source was coming right beneath not just you, but Loki as well. A ring of what looked like yellow-orange sparks formed at Loki and your’s feet, “Not again.” Was the last thing you heard Loki breathe out before everything went dark and you felt yourself falling through the air.
