《Lost Amongst the Stars-A Marvel Fanfic》 1 1-Unknown Beginning @@ "Fuck,Fuck,Fuck what the hell is going on?" Asked the spirit lingering in the void with no one to be seen. "I have no idea how i came here or who am i?" thought the spirit.Just then it heard the sharp pitched voice and saw a face near it. "Ahhh,You scared me and tell me what''s going on?" screamed the spirit. "SILENCE!! i will speak and you will only listen Mortal.I Lord Chaos have brought you here in this universe from your previous one for the sake of my entertainment.I had peered into your universe and found that this universe is merely a work of fiction in your''s so i wanted to introduce an anomaly for mine and other beings fun.So speak now for i can give you 3wishes after which you will reincarnate in this Universe." "Ok,but this all is a lot to take in.Could you first return me my memories?"asked the spirit. " Granted.You have 2 wishes left now." "Wait that wasn''t a wish" "Too late now,what''s your next wish?and don''t ask for more or unlimited wishes i can''t do that for fair reasons." "Ok,ok.Now my second wish is super strenght like Superman." "Not happening can''t make my source of fun a broken character" "Then i want the power of Sentry" "Are you sure about it cause?you will also have to deal with the Void" The spirit shudders"Nah nah no need for that.So my second wish is Instant Mastery" "Granted but with certain restrictions and your third and last?" "Make me super intelligent." "Done and off you go"@@ 2 2-Waking Up Metaphorically @@ I know you are watching that does not mean i do not have free will and this is me breaking the Fourth Wall. With the memories i got of my past i got to know that my name isCarl.I was 27 year old just before i died or got taken away by Lord Chaos.That part of my memory is pretty hazy. I also remembered that i read a lot of light novels in my past though i was not a dred of the society or a NEET.I merely read for fun and from the novels i had read most of them were for reincarnation, so i am pretty sure that i am a character in someone''s novel as i don''t believe people get the chance to reincarnate in another universe so i am going to make the most of this chance and will do my best to not affect canon. Yup you heard me right i will try not to affect canon for the entertainment of the readers.I will stay away from it. Now i am going to explain the reason for my wishes except for the first one,that one was unintentional.My wish of Instant Mastery was so that i could learn anything easily, that''s pretty much a cheat but who doesn''t like a bit of cheat. My third wish was for intelligence cause i belive with enough intelligence you could achive almost everything like power or even control death,you can take a look at Orochimaru from Naruto that guy was pretty much an immoral and could bring back people from death almost perfectly under his control or you can take a look at Lex Luthor a normal human with high intelligence who is counted as dangerous of a villian as Doomsday just because of his intelligence. And for those of you who think i should have asked for a system i can only say that most of the characters with system become broken with time which i do not want to be for i like a bit of challenge even though i wished for instant mastery.@@ 3 Not A Chapter @@ Yeah so its going to be Asgard as most of the people had asked. As for Harem i probably won''t do that for i believe in Monogamy as i stated in the comments though he would have love interest later on in the story but only 1 at a time and will settle with only 1 in the end. For anyone who wants to know what would have happened if he had reincarnated on Earth,he would have been in New York around 1991 and would have had trained under Shang- Chi.@@ 4 3-Waking up Literally Anyone hoping to have been reincarnated on Asgard would have wished to have been the son of Odin and brother of Thor but that didn''t happen with me.I was born here as an Aesir for those who don''t know what Aesir are, they are the civilian population of Asgard,the people who live under the protection of Odin and created by him.If you has seen Thor:Ragnarok you could see them as the people who were hiding with Heimdall when Hela(Hel not sure of her name)was on Asgard.Though i don''t care much about it.It has been 8years since i had been here. I have to say i was shocked initially to see people each of whom could have been a supermodel on the Earth i came from around me and doing normal chores.It didn''t take me long to infer that i was in Marvel Universe cause i saw people shouting"Thor Thor Thor" and a extremely buff looking Chris Hemsworth walking with his head held high along with the Warrior Three with him.This moment made me realise that i was in the MCU. I still have the wishes i had asked for.I was highly intelligent as compared to the adults.To check whether i had instant mastery i did some chopping and found that though it took me a few hits at first and a lesson on wood chopping from my dad Asmund(forgot to introduce him in the start).to became quite adept at it.I was able to figue out where to hit and with how much force to hit the tree instinctively. Though it took me few shoots cause i did not have enough strength yet cause the trees at Asgard are much much stronger than those at Earth. After a few more experiments i found out the restriction of my instant mastery.I need to have certain knowledge of that field.To explain easily I need to know the spells for the magic and the basis behind it to use it thought it would take me little effort to learn it and much less mana.(Author here:this does not mean he has learnt magic right now it was just an example to explain) So i think what i have is not exactly instant mastery but easier learning and experience boost like in rpg. 5 4-Growing Up @@ Any one who has instant mastery and is in Asgard would jump at the chance to learn things but not me i want to enjoy my childhood and live the fullest.Asgard really is a beautiful place,sucks that people won''t be able to enjoy it much cause it gets detroyed in Ragnarok. We Aesir live long,not as much as Thor and the royalty but we live long enough and are considered as children until we reach 100 years of age after which we are allowed to choose a profession. Asgard doesn''t have traditional schools but we are taught some history and basic maths no calculus or trigonometry. It figures cause we are given basic understanding of each and every profession we could choose and then taught the higher level stuff and you don''t need to know much of science when you can achieve almost everything with magic. There are different professions or for rpg fans classes for people here.You could be a Warrior,Healer,Sorcerer (Magician),Alchemist and many other of your choosing. Before reaching the age of 100 we all are taught basic stances offighting so we could atleast protect ourselves. Needless to say that i was the best in my batch.Our instructor Vanheim was so shocked at me that he said that i was the best talent he had seen. To explain to you all what had happened was that on the first day of our training we are pretty much given the rundown of all the weapons and with time given exercises to do.Now i have to say that the Asgardian Body is strong,you could easily run without tiring for breath and i am only 10 right now with time my body will only grow.Aesir usually reach their adolescent form by the age of 50 which stays the same till they become old that is around 2000years of age.@@ 6 5-Apprentice "Carl Asmund come here and don''t make me wait" said Asmund. "Coming Pops"said Carl " How many times do i need to tell you to call me Father and not pops or whatever that is"said Asmund "yeah yeah ok." said Carl "So how was training today?" asked Asmund "It was good but not much for me to do i already know everything Vanheim can teach" "Thats Master Vanheim for you kid" said Asmund. "I will probably stop going to Vanheim after tomorrow,continuing training with him is so longer beneficial" "Oh so much confidence huh?Come on lets have a spar" said Asmund standing up and coming out of the house. Carl nods and follows him out ready to fight. It has been 2 years since Carl started training under Vanheim and has learned the basic fighting stance of the Asgardian and could hold toe to toe with many other kids as well as some of the adults who were not warriors.His competition right now were only the adults who overpowered him with their strength.Coming out both of them get in the fighting stance. Asmund comes forward with a punch while Carl easily sidesteps to dodge it but is not able to see the knee coming towards his gut.Realising the knee coming towards him Carl raises his leg to stop it. "Good stop over there" complimented Asmund "Now try stopping these" A barrage of punches come towards me each one of which i dodge and after a little more hits back and forth finally found an opening and was able to get Asmund on the ground "I have gotten rusty.Well you did good kid,come let''s go home i might need to call off tomorrow''s work now.And yeah you can tell Vanheim that you are not coming anymore"said Asmund. After which we went home and applied some medicines on the cuts we got while fighting. Well i have been growing quite well i was already 5ft at 12 years of age with a swimmers body not having much muscle.I prefer a lean look much like Dick Grayson.I even had anime like blue hair with blue eyes both complementing each other which were quite different from Pops as he had black hair and brown eyes ,i had never seen my mom and my father does not tell me anything about her plus i am not keen too about finding about her. 7 6-Apprentice 2 The next day i go to the training ground to find Vanheim talking to a big buffed up dude about 6ft 7inches with a missing left hand. As i approach him he turns his eyes towards me. "What a coincidence Carl i was going to look for you" said Vanheim.Before he could say something i interject "Before you try to convince me Vanheim i won''t be training here any longer i think i have learnt everything i could here" "You are absolutely right so i asked a favour from my old friend Tyr here to train you"said Vanheim " Vanheim here tells me you learnt the basic training style in 2 years quite impressive but that style is just for self defense nothing comparable to a battle style.So he asked me to train you so from tomorrow you''re training under me."said Tyr. "Ok"This was exactly what and wanted. What i needed to do now was to learn advance stuff in the path of warrior and to be able to fight beings powerful than me. "Come here tomorrow packedwe will be leaving for a few decades" "Whatt!!A few decades" i screamed "Yes what did you think that i am as free as Vanheim who would wait for you to come here everyday and then teach you,No you will be travelling alongside me and i will teach you all the skills to survive in wilderness and fight." said Tyr. "But i can''t" "Why?" "I don''t have a few decades" "What you going to die in a few years or what?" "No but still a decade is too long" On me saying so both Vanheim and Tyr chuckle. "Kid you are small now that''s why you don''t know but a few decades to us is nothing compared to our lifespan" I completely forgot that Aesir live for long since i couldn''t find any reason to say no and it would be nice to get some training before the start of canon i Agreed. "We are going to start travelling throughout Asgard from tomorrow i will take you to all the places i can and show you what a place Asgard is and while you would enjoy that i will enjoy breaking your bones with the training"said Tyr. "Eh?!?!What??" "You heard me right boy from tomorrow you are going to wish you weren''t so talented" said Tyr. 8 7-Apprentice 3 Travelling Asgard is best thing i had done in both of my lives.Seriously this place is so beautiful that it makes me sad that it will get destroyed maybe i should change this, lets leave this thought as a note to myself. Fun fact about Asgard:It has edges and an end unlike Earth,if you fall off this edge you will literally fall in void(space) so you have to be careful. Well training for me was easy as i never did break any bones but at most got tired out. Tyr was shocked and sad at this.I think he was a sadist who liked to inflict pain on others as he kept on increasing my training difficulty with time. Time Skip about a Decade In this decade i spent with Tyr he taught me everything thing he knew and trained by body.He tried to make me buffed up but na i said no. Though i have six pack abs and can throw quite a punch i have a quite athletic body.In this Decade i learned a bare handed fighting style and how to survive in the wild along with some alchemy and a bit of magic.Tyr was shocked to see my talent in magic and alchemy and told me to pursue them later on as he only knew the basics of them as he didn''t have big mana pool. "Carl i have taught you everything i know even though i myself can''t believe how can someone learn my life experiences in such a small amount of time.For now i have nothing more to teach you,from now you are to travel on your own and gather experience though you are quite a good fighter don''t forget that their is always someone better and to reach their level you constantly need to develop" "I Understand" said Carl "Ok Carl now i have a question to ask you,even though i have taught you everything i know would you acknowledge me as your Teacher?" "Yes sir" "I should tell you that i have nothing more to teach you and an Asgardian can only have 2 formaly acknowledged Teacher, so still would you become my apprentice and share my burdens?" "Yes sir,you have taught me alot and helped make the man i am now" Tyr makes an incision on his hand from which blood pours out. "Good,then do you Carl son of Asmund acknowledge me Tyr Odinson,Asgardian God of War as your Teacher and willingly become my apprentice?" "Yes i do" Lighting crack as i make this oath and Tyr drops his blood on my forehead. And from hereon i am Carl Asmund Apprentice to Asgardian God of War. 9 8-Godhood Blood of Tyr covers my whole body forming a cocoon around me.I scream in pain as i feel the changes happening to my body.I am not unconscious inside the cocoon.I feel my muscle contracting increasing their density and my body growing.I even try to break the cocoon but couldn''t.I see Tyr outside the cocoon laughing at my expense.I swear i am going to punch him when i come out and after some time i fell asleep. {Tyr POV} I Don''t know whether i did the right thing doing this to him when he is so young but i think he will be fine.He is quite strong to hold on for a while before falling unconscious. Its been five years since the cocoon formed.The kid is a monster,even Thor slept only for 3years in the cocoon and he became so strong,just how much strong is he going to be? {POV Ends} After god knows how much time my eyes open.I find myself still inside the cocoon but no longer feeling any pain.The cocoon was no longer nurturing my body so i decided to break it.It broke quite easily now.I come out to see an astounded Tyr. "What" "You grew quite a bit kid" I hadn''t paid much attention before but looking at myself now i was 6ft 4in with my body sculpted like a Greek God. "You may want to put on some clothes kid or are you one of those nudist?" Breaking me out of my admiration,I only realise now that i was naked.Tyr passes me some of his clothes which were a bit big for me.My own clothes were useless as they were too small. "So what did you do to me?" "I made you a God kid,Don''t you feel the raw power coursing through your muscle right now?" "I do but how,am i not to young to be a god?" "You are right,a normal person is only made a God after a solid judge of character and after a 1000years of age.But i thought you were prepared.Even though it could have destroyed your body but everything worked out fine in theend didn''t it." "What the fuck!!! my body could have been destroyed??!????!" "Language kid,you are still not old enough to curse likd that" 10 9-God of _____? I move forward and punch Tyr,which sends him flying a little distance away.Tyr stands up wiping the blood from his lips. "Nice arm you got there kid" Oh MY GOD did i just make Tyr bleed.Don''t get me wrong,it doesn''t mean that i never landed a hit on Tyr in our decade of training but i could never make him bleed,i could land punches and hits on his body before too but could never send him flying,just how much powerful have i become. "Now hold your horses kid,you need to train with me for some while to control your strength otherwise you might just kill somebody with your touch." "So am i as powerful as Thor?" Tyr chuckles"You wish kid,Thor already became a god centuries ago and also knows his Lighting Domain, You right now don''t even know what you are God of right now." He is kind of right,if i was as powerful as the other Gods right at the start then all of them would start to cry.But what am i the God of? "Tyr,what am i the God of?" "That''s up to you to find out,It depends on what you have an affinity for.I fought a lot of wars for my Father and ultimately became the God of War.So you yourself have to find about it,but i can tell you that when you will find your Domain you will become even more powerful.Right now ihave only 70% of the power i would have if a war was going and i was on the battlefield. During the times of war my power increases as my domain strengthens." What he says make sense,even Thor in Thor:Ragnarok becomes more powerful when lightning flows through him during his fight with Hela.But what could i be a God of,i need to figure it out soon. "So what now?" i ask Tyr "Now you train and get used to your new strength" and with a smirk on his face Tyr says"from now on i will use my full strength in our spar and finally hear the sound of your bone breaking" So his sadist mode is back huh,well he would be disappointed just like he was before. "Now go on and take some laps around this place to get used to your new speed" {Tyr POV} Damn this kid really is a beast,making me bleed with a single punch after just ascending.I have really gotten a great apprentice.Atleast i will be leaving Asgard in good hands. 11 10-History Lesson Tyr was training me in ways to utilise my new found strength and how to incorporate the changes in my body to my fighting style.We both were making our way back to my hometown.Tyr decided that it was time for us to go back.I am 32 right now,it took me 5 more years to master my new strength. One night when we had made camp Tyr makes me sit near him and tells me about his past. "Carl i am going to tell you about my past and that of Asgard but i need you to promise me that you would not repeat this before anyone" "I promise" "Good,it all began millenniums ago when Bor my GrandFather died leaving reigns to my Father Odin.When Father was young he was a reckless individual and led war among the Nine Realms to unite them under him.Odin and his daughter Hela, my sister also known as the goddess of Death, engaged in a campaign of conquest, slaughtering those who stood in opposition.Yet once they were subjugated, Hela wished to continue expanding beyond the nine realms growing so violent and aggressive Odin felt he had no choice but to exile her to a region of Niflheim known as Hel, banishing all mention of this portion of their history.Not many people know about this.I didn''t oppose my Father at that time for i thought that the Throne will become mine after this but that thought shattered when Thor was born and grew.He became better than me in everything.Ultimately i became jealous and led fights and rebellion against Odin but was subjugated every time and finally i gave up.I no longer pursue the Throne but i still care about the safety of Asgard and will do everything i can to protect it.When i made you my apprentice Carl i said that you will have to shoulder my burdens and now i lay my burden unto you,from now on you would have to do everything to protect Asgard and its people.You do not have to pay heed to any order given to you by Odin,just do what you believe would be best for the safety and prosperity of Asgard." Even though i wanted to say that i would try best, i did not want to make fake promises as i know that Asgard gets destroyed in Ragnarok and lots of its people killed by Thanos,so i remained silent.I don''t remember Tyr being present in the MCU when Asgard was destroyed so something must have had happened to him.I need to find out what did. 12 11-Going Back and The Summon. Ever since that night Tyr and i have been talking less maybe he did not like that i never gave him a definite answer. But i couldn''t make false promises.It took us an year to get back to my hometown. Tyr then left me to do somethings and give me some time with my Father. I went home to find my Father asleep on a Hammock.I let him sleep and go inside the house to find my room just as clean as i left it.He must have been cleaning it.He truly cares and love me as his son.Its kind of difficult for me to accept him as my Father.I already had a loving and caring Father in my previous life and i just can''t forget him.Sometimes i just can''t get used to this world and still think from the perspective of a Human.I need to work upon changing my perspective from that of a human to that of a god. The next day Tyr comes to my home to tell me of a summon from AllFather Odin, apparently once you become a God you need to be presented before Odin to formally take an oath.In this ceremony you are given the option to join his army.But that was not i wanted.My next plan is to go forward and learn magic from the Asgardian before i try to find some way to leave Asgard and travel.Maybe i can request Odin permission for using Bifrost. "Tyr what happens if someone becomes a God and does not tell anyone?" "Well that''s impossible,Heimdall with his All seeing eye will immediately find about it as soon as the person begins his ascension and will inform him to come for the ceremony.He would have informed you too but he saw me next to you so he left it for me.We can''t have rogue Gods running around,we have rules." "So are their any rules imposed upon the Gods?" "Not many but some,a major rule is that you cannot go on killing people especially mortals and have to come forward to fight if there is some major threat to the Nine Realms as a whole." Well no killing mortals is necessary for with the strength i have i could easily crush them with a punch.but i can''t understand the thing about major threat,when Thanos was collecting the infinity stones why did not any God step in? 13 12-Acknowledgemen I can''t explain in words how beautiful the Palace is.Thor movies didn''t show the palace in its true glory.Asgard doesn''t have a Sun still there was bright light shinning from behind the Palace giving him it a majestic feel. My jaw dropped the first time i saw it. "Pick up your jaw kid its even more majestic on the inside" We walk in to the ceremony room where i see Odin sitting on his throne with Frigga by his side.Various Minister standing in line alongwith Thor, Warrior Three,Lady Sif and Loki standing in a corner.There were a lot of civillians too.All with their eyes glued to me. At least the presence of Loki clears my confusion whether Odin has fought with the Frost Giants.Suddenly there is a yell "You are standing before Odin Borson,The All Father and Protector of the Nine Realm,pay your respect." Tyr who was standing infront of me bows down to pay his respect and i follow him in doing so.Odin look at me with such a glare which made me feel like he could see through me.Then Odin declared"Carl Asmund,Apprentice of Tyr,The Asgardian God Of War,I Odin Bronson,King of Asgard The Protector of Nine Realm formally proclaim you as a GOD." Suddenly lighting cracks in the sky and i feel some changes inside me.I had already become a God but after Odin said it,it felt like even the cosmos acknowledged it.His words acknowledging me as a God was like a confirmation of my status.I already knew about his power of enchanting with his speech,he enchanted the Mjornir in the movies so i was not surprised.But i would love to learn it.After this the Ceremony of finished. I didn''t understand why was there a need for so many people to be there and look at me but Tyr explained to me that becoming a god was a rare phenomenon and at my age was almost unheard of. Tyr was later called by Odin to his chamber and i was left alone in the palace.Suddenly someone tapped my shoulder and i turned to see Thor and the Warrior Three along with Sif. "Hello friend we are going for some drinks to celebratewould you like to come with us?"asked Thor "Sure" How could i say no after taking a look at Sif.She looks exactly like Jaime Alexander,the actress of Blindspot for those who do not recognise her. Everything that happens after that is a blur. 14 13-Hungover In Odin''s Chamber room {Tyr POV} "Father did you call for me?" "Yes,i did,I wanted to ask you what are your thoughts about the Boy?" "Driven,Monstrously Talented and smart,why did he catch your eye?" "He did,becoming a God at such a young age.Would he be joining the army just like his you did?" "No,i already asked him about it and he told me that he has no interest in joining the army." "Pity,he would have helped Asgard in maintaining peace" "Is there anything more Father?" "Go gift the kid a Golden Apple of Idunnfor achieving Godhood at such a small age." "Thank you Father.This gift would definitely help him." {POV ends} Tyr leaves the room leaving Odin in thoughts about why the body isn''t bound by the strings of fate. {Carl POV} I open my eyes to find myself sleeping on the stands of a big gladiator areana covered with blood and a nasty headache. "You are finally awake" said Volstagg. "What happened yesterday?" "You don''t remember?" "I remember us leaving for drinks what happened after that" "Oh boy,first time drinking huh?" "Yeah" "We drank then danced after which you started challenging Thor to a fight,that got a nice round of laugh from everyone, Thor amused by it brought all of us here in Gladiator arena so that you could have a match" "No,no i made a fool of myself the day i stood before Odin great,atleast tell me i won" Volstagg laughing "Are you still Hungover or did you hit your head too hard last night. Of course you lost,a kid like you who hasn''t even grown hair thinking about defeating Thor its like saying that Asgard will be destroyed." Oh it will and i will defeat Thor someday soon. "You dance good though, teach us to dance too someday.Alot of maiden had their eyes on you last night." said Fandral. "Maybe someday" looks like i carried over my moves from my previous life. "Where''s Thor and Sif?" "Thor left for the palace a while ago and Sif left the moment you asked her for a dance"Volstagg said bringing a chuckle out of the rest two of them. Great my first impression on Sif is that of a kid who couldn''t even hold his liquor. After sometime i bid the Warrior Three goodbye and went home to take a bath.I stink with all the blood over me. 15 14-Odins Vault. In the evening Tyr came to my home and told me about how i had already become famous amongst the masses as the idiot who challenged Thor.He then took me with him to get the Golden Apple of Idunn from the treasury of Asgard as a reward by Odin for becoming a God at such young age.I was happy to hear that cause i was just thinking that Odin is such a big cheapstake not gifting me anything on becoming a God. For those who don''t know Golden Apple of Idunn are grown on a tree by Goddess Idunn(thus their name)and provide one with vigour, vitality,and immortality(only increases lifespan, you could still die if your head is cut off). The apples are a good reward for me as my strength was already close to that of the Royal Asgardians but my lifespan fell short, maybe Odin thought of this and gifted it to me who knows what goes on in his mind. We then went to get the Palace as the Palace contained the Treasury,quite a good decision for if someone tries to steal anything they would have to come directly to your house as they did in Thor:The Dark World. I have got to say that Odin''s rich,a step into his treasury and i see a number of things first of all is gold,lots and lots of it.We then moved on to the inner area which housed the important stuff like The Casket of Ancient Winter,The Eternal Flame and most importantly The fake Infinity Gauntlet.My eyes were glued on to all of these stuff.Tyr seeing that explained me their history.The Casket of Ancient Winter was brought by Odin after defeating the Frost Giant of Jotunheim,The Eternal Flame was also brought by Odin after taking it from the Fire Demon Surtur and as for the gauntlet,he didn''t know anything about it not even its name.I am pretty sure that it was a plothole left in the story which they tried tl fix my making Hela say that it was a fake.Continuing inwards i was brought to the place where my reward was kept. Tyr handed it out to me and said"Eat it" No shit Sherlock,i was thinking I had to throw it.I immediately consumed it,it was juicy though i can''t explain the taste, it just can''t be explained through words.I fell asleep after consuming it.Tyr had already told me that after eating the Apple i would probably sleep like a log for a few days. 16 15-Who? Three days later,I woke up to find myself in my bed.Tyr must have brought me home.To see if i had a visible change i stood before a mirror.Though i couldn''t see much of a difference,my skin did feel more softer and brighter than before.It may come of as narcissist but i do look good.I slap myself to break me from my revere. Then i sat down to think and plan about what i am going to do.I have to learn things for now,i am already good at hand to hand combat and weapons even though i don''t have a personal weapon like Thor or the Warrior Three.So i have two path for now,either i could go and learn Magic,well to be precise Asgardian Magic,I still don''t have a way to get to earth so can''t learn magic from there for now. Or i could go and learn forging from the Dwarves and make my own weapon which would be much better and cooler than Mjolnir. So to find a way to do either i went to see Tyr.I easily found Tyr near the training ground doing meditation. "Good morning,Tyr" "Morning kid,so why come to see me?" "Do i need to have a reason to see you?" "Have you come to meet me without any reason to?" "Well you do have a point.Since i am free for now i have thought to branch out into more field,so i have come to you for advice." "Sure kid,what do you want to learn?I might not know that thing but i could surely point you towards the right person to teach you." "I want to learn either Magic or Forging" "Forging is out of the question,Dwarves are the best at forging but they do not share their techniques with outsiders well not until Father ask them to,so forget that.Though you could go for Sorcery you were able to learn what little i knew of it quite easily.So what do you say do you want to learn magic?" "Since i can''t learn forging then magic it is so who do you think i should go to?" "Well if you ask me then the most powerful and knowledgeable magician is my Father Odin,but i am pretty sure that he does not have any time to teach you,so you gotta settle for the next best person" "Who?" Tyr starts walking without answering my question. "Well come with me don''t keep standing there,we are going to meet a person who could take us to her and maybe increase your chances of getting under her tutelage." 17 16-Who? 2 Tyr didn''t budge and told me nothing as we made our way towards the Palace.I made a mental list of the people who could be my instructor 1:Frigga,but i don''t think Tyr can convince his mother and the Queen of Asgard to teach me. 2:Loki,not possible too Loki is great at using magic but his magic leans more towards self defenses and not attack. 3.Enchantress Amora but why would she teach me when she could easily make me her musclehead slave with her words. I couldn''t think of anyone else who could be my teacher. We suddenly reached a room in the Palace.Tyr knocked on the door. "Come in" a deep heavy voice spoke. "Hello Brother" said Tye I couldn''t believe who i was looking at,questions went through my mind of how could he be here cause this guy wasn''t ever shown or even mentioned in the MCU The person who stood before me was Balder The Bold,Asgardian God of Light. "Hello,so why are you here?" "Well you should be knowing about Carl" "That idiot Young God who challenged Thor,i know about him." Balder said chuckling. "Yup that''s me", i still can''t understand why does everyone find it so amusing.Did no one ever challenged Thor at anything. "Hey kid,you really know how to become famous.Tyr and I had to fought a lot of battles before we became famous." "Are you sure you are not the God of Jest?" asked Tyr laughing along with Balder. "Tyr i think we are straying from the topic." "Am I,Did we come here for something other than just meeting my brother?" Oh so he wanted me to be the one to say it huh. "Well,Baldur Tyr told me that you could introduce me to a good magic Teacher." "Did he say that?" Baldur asked,glaring at Tyr with daggers in his eyes. "Well you do know Her and she would only teach him if you ask Her to." Tyr explained. "You are right but why should I?No offense kid but i never had met with you before." "Then what do you need?Any favour or help. As long as i can do it I will." "Kid,what can you help me with,you can''t even help yourself right now.But I could think about taking you to Her,if we have a spar." "Why don''t you directly say that you want to bully me." "It''s not like that kid,just want to see how talented you were to make Tyr take you as apprentice." "Well then let''s go" said Tyr Why do i think Tyr had already planned for this to happen? 18 17-Fight. When we reached the arena,it was filled with people.How the hell do they known about this. After asking around i found that somehow the news spread that i had challenged Balder to a spar.Great i also got to know that I had become famous as the foolish god.But this time I am going to win.When i fought with Thor i was hammered but this time i am going to be in control. Reaching the centre of the arena i asked Balder"So how''s it going to be With or Without weapons? " "I don''t see a weapon on you kid,so let''s go with hand to hand combat". Good, exactly what i wanted.I still hadn''t trained much in a weapon but i was confident in my skills with my hand. " I Tyr Odinson is going to be the referee for this match.Let me go over the rules,No fatal blows,no weapons and the match ends when someone either falls unconscious or gives up.Is every one clear?" "Yes" "Yes" Balder and I stood a few feet away from each other. He was eyeing me like i was his prey but i am going to prove him wrong."Tyr shouts at the top of his voice "Begin" Balder immediately runs towards me with his big body.I don''t understand what is this Asgardian''s obsession with muscle almost all of them have a big stature and buffed up muscle.Though this gives them power but not enough agility.Whereas i had leaned towards more of an athletic built,though i had muscles yet my agility was high.I easily evaded most of his attack.His fighting style was mostly a barbaric one but he was able to find openings in my movement.Maybe this was due to his experience in battlefield, a thing i sorely lacked. One of my punch landed on him pushing him back a few step. I could hear the audience screaming and shocked. "Good punch kid but it''s not gonna happen again" said Balder puffing. We exchanged more blows with me slowly landing more punches on him. With time i felt that his movements had gotten slower and i knew that i was overpowering him.And then with a solid punch to his chest i send Balder flying and hitting the wall of the arena. Silence ensued in the arena with people shocked at this feat.Balder stood up after a few seconds and declared his defeat. "Tyr,what are you feeding that kid." "It''s not me,its the kid himself." "Well kid,meet me a week later and pack your stuff we will be leaving for a while." Balder left and i too escaped the arena with Tyr as i had seen audience member coming towards me shouting my name.Atleast this fight would lessen the damage done to my reputation by the fight with Thor. 19 18-Growth and Meeting Sif Two days have passed since i fought and defeated Balder.But i still can''t figure out why did i felt Balder slow down so to get my answer i found Tyr. "Hey Tyr" "Hey kid what are you doing here?Shouldn''t you be getting ready for your trip" "What can i be ready for i don''t even know where i am going,but i have a question to ask you" "Ok,go on" "When i was fighting Balder and as we kept on fighting i felt Balder get slow even though his moves still had the same intensity as before,i can''t understand why was it like that?" "Well that''s easy kid your body is still get used to your Powers,you haven''t been a God for too long.Your power will grow each and everyday till it reaches the peak you can have without finding your Domain.When you were fighting Balder,you started exerting more and more of your power,you were using the previously untapped power so when you felt Balder getting slower it actually was your perception ofhis movement becoming faster." "So it was like that." I left after talking with Tyr for a while.I didn''t have much to do so i went to a tavern to have a few drink and clear my mind.Passing through the crowded marketplaces and listening to people talking,i picked up that atleast my reputation had gotten better.Though i was still called a fool for fighting Thor,people still referred to me as a strong fool for defeating Balder in the fight. Apparently you get a lot of people''s eyes on you if you enter a tavern alone in Asgard.Asgardian are usually cheerful and friendly people so to see someone alone is a strange sight.Though i am fine alone,i noticed that i hadn''t made any close friend in my time here in Asgard.I had talked the most with Tyr and Asmund,one being my teacher and the other my Father. I sat in a corner drinking something i didn''t even knew the name of.Soon i saw Thor, Warrior Three and ofcourse Sif following them come in.Thor being as boisterous as he is starts talking about his adventures,mainly that of having fought and defeated a lot of people and even inserts my name into it while pointing at me.Listening to him made me think of why didn''t Odin send him to earth before Thor went to Jotunheim,i mean don''t get me wrong i loved Thor''s character later on in the movies but right now he is a cocky arrogant bastard. I saw Sif sitting on a seat looking at Thor with smitten eyes.I know that she is love with Thor who ignores her completely still i am going to try my chance.Thinking so i approached her. "Hello,I am Carl." "Hey,Sif" "I don''t think we were formally introduced before" "We were,you were too drunk to speak and wanted to have a dance with me and I didn''t." "Water under the bridge." I talked with Sif for a while but she was not interested in the conversation and kept glancing at Thor.I took that as a sign and bid her farewell.I will try another chance at her when Thor brings Jane here maybe then i would have a shot. 20 19-Travelling to _____? Few days later i met Baldur preparing his horse. "You ready for the journey?" "Yes,but are we going by horses?" "Yes" I had to go to the stable and get an horse for myself.We then continued onwards on our journey. Baldur is not exactly a talker like Tyr but he does give all the needed information when asked. "So where are we going?" "Did Tyr not tell you?" "No,he did not tell me anything about where we are going and who will be teaching me." "Tyr is like that,he likes to keep things a surpise.We are going to Nornheim" "Nornheim?"I could not remember any information about it.So i asked Balder about it. "So what kind of a place is Nornheim?" "Nornheim is located on the Asgardian landmass but it is independently ruled by The Queen of Norns,Karnilla who could be your Teacher if she accepts you." I found the name somewhat familiar but couldn''t remember anything about her. "Can you tell me about her?" "Well Karnilla is a powerful sorceress,some say only second to Father himself.She is a just ruler but harsh who is not afraid to give strict punishment.She doesn''t like Asgard much and maintains that Nornheim is not a part of Asgard and has fought against us some times." "If she fights against us then why would she teach me?" (sigh)"That''s where i come in,Tyr is really smart i have to say that.Karnilla sort of likes me and would probably listen to me." Oh quite evil of you Tyr to make use of love but i need to learn magic so sorry Balder. "So do you like her too?" "Kid, shouldn''t you not be asking me this,you don''t know anything about me still asking such personal questions." Well he is right i didn''t even know him somedays ago. "Sorry" "I can see that you are curious kid and would probably ask Tyr about it later on so let me tell you a story:Long time ago i fell in love with a girl named Nanna,she later killed herself to save me from an oath" "I am sorry."I didn''t know that Baldur had such a sad back story. "Do you know who she was saving me from?Who placed that oath?" "Who?" "Karnilla" Silence ensued,i mean i couldn''t understand how he was ok with taking me to Karnilla but i can''t put salt on his wound. "Let''s go back,i will learn sorcery from someone else."I protested. "Calm down kid,she got my forgiveness a long time ago when she helped Asgard." "You are really ok with it?" "Yes kid,though thanks for your concern" 21 20-Karnilla Baldur and i travelled on the horse for a month.He is a good company for travel.He was impressed with the way I handled myself in the wild. Finally we reached a cliff.Baldur took a few step forward and shouted "I Baldur Odinson is here to meet Karnilla,The Queen of the Norns. Suddenly the ground starts shaking like an earthquake and a passage way rises up from the bottom of the cliff.Light shines from the end of the passage.Baldur starts to move forward and i follow behind him.We finally reached a gate whereupon i see demons of different shapes.Bardul in our travel had told me that Nornheim population consist of Demons as well as humanoid immortals. We were then led through passage way to a central throne room Sitting infront of me was Karnilla.She had long black curly hairs with a big crown on her head.She was wearing some sort of an armour which was blue in color.Just want to tell you all that people do not wear skimpy clothes in reality as they did in the comics.Those type of clothes aren''t practical for combat. "Oh what a pleasure to see you here today Baldur, finally started to miss me?"asked Karnilla in a seductive tone. I don''t know what happened but i started to feel a headache and a buzzing sound until Balder put his hand on my shoulder. "Stop using your magic on the kid, Karnilla"said Balder "You are no fun Balder,we don''t need a third wheel between us do we?"said Karnilla and then looked at me and said "Kid why don''t you go outside and let the adult do the talking" Those words didn''t feel like a request,they were like an order and my legs were going to move when Balder increased his arm''s strength which was on my shoulder. "I am not here for this unnecessary banter Karnilla.You owe me a favor and and I am here to ask for it."said Balder "Fine,what do you want Balder" "I want you to teach the kid magic." "Who,this kid, magic is not a joke Balder you of all people should know that.It requires TALENT.Otherwise everyone would be learning it." "Give the kid a chance and he might just surprise you." "Fine"Karnilla conjures a stone out of thin air and throws it at me."Pour your mana in it and then we will see"then with a smirk she says"atleast i hope you know how to channel mana?" Oh i am so a going to love wiping the smirk off her face. As i channel my mana through the stone it started to.... 22 21-White As i channel my mana through the stone it started to glow white.I literally had no idea what it meant,but maybe Karnilla didn''t know too cause her eyebrow shoot up too along with Balder''s. "White huh".said Karnilla intrigued. "Now that we are done with it would you teach him magic?"asked Balder. "Balder you know i already had an apprentice long ago but had to kick her out due to her breaking the code of conduct of magic i had set and lusting for more power.So i can never take him as an apprentice so what''s in it for me since i can''t pass of my legacy to him?"then she looks at me"Tell me kid why should i teach you magic?" This time Balder didn''t come to my aid.I knew that this was my time to talk to her.This was the moment i had to either go big or go back with Balder "I promise that you would be known throughout the Nine Realms as the Teacher of the Best Sorcerer" Karnilla starts to laugh"You think you could be the best,Good,Good from tomorrow we are going to start your training and if you fail i will kill you.Now tell me do you still want to learn magic from me?" "I am not afraid of Death(Inner thoughts:i meant that literally,really want to see how does mistress death look in MCU).So let''s start from tomorrow" "Good then.Now get out i am going to talk with Balder.Haag take ...?" "Carl" "Right Carl to his Chambers" Suddenly an older woman teleports herself near me and takes me with her. "First thing i am teaching him is magic resistance otherwise any beginner magician is going to kill him.So Balder is he your apprentice?" "No,but why do you think he has a Teacher" "Oh please the boy is too much of a talent to have not been roped in by you all." "He is an apprentice to Tyr" "Tyr took an apprentice,Now i do believe that people can change.And as for the favor,you can still keep it.Teaching this boy is definitely going to pass off my boredom of the past century." "What does white light mean in terms of talent,i have never heard of it before?" "Even I don''t know and i can bet that even Odin doesn''t.There hasn''t ever been a case of white light.That''s why i am interested in teaching him to know how far can he go." 23 22-Working of Magic My first day of magic training didn''t start with a flashy spell or something but instead a lesson of what it is and how it works. "Magic is divided into three different categories: Personal energies, Universal energies and Dimensional energies.Personal energy is when a person uses his life force for magic.It shortens your lifespan in exchange of power.Universal energy is the energy of the universe in which you are which you can tap into with sufficient training.It is powerful but not at the scale of Dimensional energy.Dimensional Energy is the most powerful one.You can use it if you have an affinity towards a particular Deity''s Dimension.Forexample Vishanti usually grant their powers to the primitive sorcerer of Midgard,Odin derives his powerfrom the Odin Force.Similarly you will find a dimension for yourself in time if you have an affinity.If you want to be a powerful sorcerer you need to always have confidence in yourself otherwise your magic starts to lack in power and believe that anything is possible for you can only wield magic properly if you keep an open mind." This actually felt quite right to me as Strange became quite a powerful magician so quickly when he started to believe that magic was real,he was already confident about himself and the Ancient One only had to break his mold about science. "Each and every person''s body is different as such they have different, what i like to call,Mana Limit.Mana limit is the amount of mana a person can store in his body without bursting.Each and every spell take a certain amount of mana depending upon your mastery and the extent of the power of the spell.Mana differs on its basis.For those who use Personal Energy the mana is their Life force.For those who use universal energy,mana is the essence of that universe they are in and is all around them.Mana limit applies for the Dimensional Energy,dimensional energy is in another dimension so their are only two ways to use them,either to call forth that energy at the time of spell usage,this adds time to the casting of spell as you have to call for the energy,or you could use your body as a vessel to store this energy beforehand,this reduces the casting time and increases the power of the spell as the energy of that dimension becomes a part of you when its within you thus becoming easier to manipulate.And this is where mana limit is important,for an idiot who wants large amount of power would usually try to store more dimensional energy in his body than his mana limit hence blowing himself up.So keep in mind your mana limit." 24 23-Training in Magic Training in magic is difficult,even for me it took a while.Karnilla is a tough teacher who would occasionally hit me with a spell if I made some mistake. And so a decade passed,in this time I finally had mastered Asgardian magic,and use of universal energy for my magic.I wanted to learn how to connect to a Dimension but Karnilla opposed it for now.She had a fixed curriculum which she did not break.I had read through all the books in Karnilla''s library,my intelligence played a big part here cause I was able to understand and learn most of the things written in them. One thing i noticed was that in Doctor Strange,the ritual for drawing power from the dark dimension which was written in Book of Cagliostro is much more crude form of the ritual for finding the dimension of your affinity and it also had a fixed coordinate in it,which was of the dark dimension.Normally if you perform the ritual for using dimensional energy you do not keep a particular coordinate but let yourself free to be pulled by your affinity. In this decade,if i ever got frustrated and said I was too slow then Karnilla would look at me as if she wanted to kill me.She had already told me that i had learnt what would take normally millenniums for an average magician and even a few centuries for the most talented in a decade.Well what can i do if I am so talented.(Narcissist much). Karnilla had a high mana limit being able to store large amount of mana which stands to show just how powerful she was.Still she was shocked when she checked my mana limit.My mana limit was low.First time Karnilla checked it she did not believe it and thought she had failed to perform the spell,a feat that hadn''t happen in a few millenniums to her.When she finally checked my limit,she told me that I had quite a small mana limit.This did come off a shock to me.I had great control over mana and thought that with high magic limit i would be able to do any spell i want.Karnilla was a bit disappointed too,she tried to console me saying that many Asgardian had low mana limit,a thing she thinks balanced their existence as they were already too powerful.Don''t know why but i thought of myself as Kakashi with his sharingan,great control and knowledge but pitiful reserves(even though his were mostly taken by the sharingan)which didn''t do justice to us. 25 24-Dimension???? My mana limit being less did come out as a bummer.I had learnt teleportation from Karnilla and if i had high reserves i could have probably teleported myself to Earth.It would have been so much funto have gone to Earth and enjoy everything from the first hand perspective. Today Karnilla took me to a room beneath her tower and told that today i would be finally looking for my dimensional affinity and if possible connect with it.The room looked old,with a big magic runic circle laid out in its floor. "My teacher brought me here when i had mastered my magic to look for my dimensional affinity,now i bring you here so that you can find your''s.Carl you are not my apprentice so you won''t be able to carry on my legacy but if someday you take in an apprentice you can bring them here when it is the time." Karnilla makes me sit in the centre of the circle and leaves me alone. Ok,so what i need to do now is channel in the mana in the circle and let myself go.(Deep breaths)I closed my eyes and channeled my mana into the circle and waited for something to happen. For some time nothing happens so i open my eyes thinking i had failed but was shocked to see myself in a white room and a black being infront of me. "How long have i been here for?"I asked that being. "For a while now,you had your eyes closed so.I thought not to disturb you" Great,i had already succeeded but didn''t know. "I am Carl Asmund and i am looking for a dimension to connect with,can i know who you are?" "Me,well I don''t have a name" "Ok,well could you tell me about this dimension?" "I think you are mistaken,this is not a dimension but a universe My UNIVERSE." What the hell!!!!?!?!!! I connected to a Universe instead of a dimension "Oh shit, could you take me to your head or someone elder who can answer my questions?" "There is no one here except for me and you,I am this universe and this universe is me.You are the first person I have ever met." Man,what a loner.Focus Carl. "So can you tell me what is this universe called?" "Well considering the magic on you,i know that this place is far beyond your universe,so let''s just call it Beyond Realm" "Wouldn''t you be the Beyonder then?" I did say that without thinking but as i did say it alarm bells stated ringing in my head comprehending what i had just said and what implications it can have!!!! "Beyonder, it''s got a nice ring to it"said the Being with fascination in his eyes. 26 25-Beyonder Oh my God did i just meet the Beyonder!!?!? "Are you really the Beyonder?" "Are there any other Beyonder you know?"he asked with a longing in his eyes. "No no i confused you with someone else" Can''t let him know about what i know about him if he really is Beyonder.Ok, what do i know about Beyonder.He is stupidly powerful,was a universe itself and wanted to experience human life.But this version of him is acting like a child.Let''s try to bait him. "Would you like to be my friend?" "Friend??What is a friend?" "Ehh"how would he know about friends he is a loner. "A friend is a person who helps and care for you and haves fun alongwith you." "Ohh and you would like to be friends with me?" "Yes,I am Carl will you be my friend?" "Yipee i have a friend now,you told me that you wanted to connect with a dimension?" "Yes" "Why? "So that i could use it''s energy to use more powerful magic and become more powerful" "You want to become powerful?" "Yes,i want to stand side by side you in powers" "You are weak"saying so he puts his hand on my head and pushes it in,one thing to note here is that i am in an astral form like the one shown in Dr Strange so he did not create a hole in my head.Light shines and blinds me for a moment. "There you won''t be so weak anymore" "Thanks,i guess"but what did he do. My form starts to breaks,i am being pulled back to my Universe. "I can''t stay here any longer.Hope too see you again"and my figure vanished "Friend gone??" I found myself back in the circle below Karnilla.This should not have happened,the ritual should have kept me in the dimension for as long as i wanted,maybe it was because i connected to a Universe that its power ran out.In the first place me connecting to a Universe is already weird.Now how am i going to explain to Karnilla about not having connected to a Dimension.Well no harm done i already had smaller reserves so i couldn''t have used too powerful of a magic. I prepare to teleport myself to Karnilla but i noticed that my body no longer had a Mana limit,it didn''t even have a drop ofmana in it "Ahhh, what the hell did Beyonder do to me?" 27 26-Universe Before i could go and find Karnilla,i felt her come running frantically over.Wait a second I felt her??What is happening to me?? Karnilla pushes the door open and stands before me "What dimension or diety did you connect with?" "I didn''t meet a deity or went to any dimension" "Don''t lie to me Carl,look at yourself you are glowing?" "Glowing what ehh???"i look at myself to see light coming out of me. "What''s happening Karnilla?" "What''s happening? what''s happening is that you are acting as a source of magic yourself Carl" "What do you mean Karnilla?" "You are a generator Carl ,you are making mana right now,you don''t need to rely on Dimensional or Universal energy!!!." "What how could it be!!!,I don''t even have a mana limit right now and how is this possible??,wait a minute i get it since i don''t have a need to store mana and am generating it I don''t need to have a mana limit but still how?" "Even I don''t know how is that possible, tell me Carl you really didn''t connect with any deity or dimension" "I didn''t,i connected to a Universe" "What!!! you connected to a Universe??" "Yes,is that too rare?" "Carl no one connects to a Universe!!No Universe grants its power to any non resident,who did you meet there???" Can''t really tell everything to Karnilla about Beyonder other wise she would be scared shitless. "I met a being,he didn''t have a name,He was alone and said that he was the Universe" "That being must have been insanely powerful to have made you a source of mana,what did you offer to him in return to seal the deal Carl: your service, soul or something else?" "I became friend with it" Karnilla was flabbergasted.Looking at her it felt like I completely broke every understand she had and in a low voice she said "You became friends with it and it made you a generator??" "Yes" "CARL!!!! what kind of an existence are you!!!Your talent made the Stone glow white for God''s sake,a color which was never seen before on its VIBGYOR scale and now you connect to a Universe instead of a Dimension.Tell me Carl just what are you??" Damn,my instant mastery really works magic,so that was the reason Karnilla was intrigued when white light shone. 28 Problem Phone not getting charged, won''t be able to post more chapters till it gets fixed. 29 27-Odins Coming???!! Only after a while did Karnilla calmed down.Now that she was calmed i saw flicker of lights around her. "What are those flickers of light around you?" "What flicker of lights??Are you ok?" "Must be my imagination"I lied to her,i clearly could see flickers of light around her.I just don''t think she will be able to handle any more shocks. "You are still glowing,you know?" "Oh yeah,i am glowing,any ideas why?"(Author''s note:Just imagine the Adam Warlock but with a shining skin) "Nope,i have no idea of whats so ever is going on with you." I could see that she was completely pissed by me and my existence. "But before we do anything about you glowing,we need to contain the mana leaking off you.I could see it from miles that''s why i came running here" "So what''s wrong with that?" "Carl i already told you,you are a generator of mana,there are a number of magician who would give their life at a chance to lock you up and use you as a battery" "I wouldn''t like that"Ohh Karnilla,you do care about me,even though i doubt that there are many people out there who can lock me. "Hmm, we need to find a way for control the mana leaking otherwise we need to find an artifact which could either hide or absorb it.For now let''s go back.I will go in the Library and try to find out answers.We even would need to deal with Odin." "Wait a second,what dealing with Odin??"to say i was alarmed was an understatement.I know that i am powerful but I don''t think i am anywhere dealing with Odin right now. "Well what do you think,he wouldn''t be coming here to check the situation after the surge of mana that happened here?" Damn,thought I don''t think he would do anything extreme to me,the MCU version of Odin played by Anthony Hopkins was quiet mellow as compared to his comic counterpart. For now there are so many questions i need an answer to, what did the Beyonder do to me?why i am glowing?what are those flickering lights?and how could i feel her coming here earlier?I need to do experiments and find how to use this gift by Him. 30 28-Meeting my Friend again. We made our way back to Karnilla''s palace.She immediately went to the Library to find some reasons for my recent abnormal experience.I went back to my room to sleep cause i felt really fatigued. I open my eyes to find myself in a white room,just like i did once before "Hello"said the Beyonder. "Did you bring me here?" The Beyonder nods with his head. "So how long have you been here?" "I don''t know how to answer that." Does he not have a concept of time? "Do you know what time is?" "Tiime??" I could see the curiousity in his eyes of wanting to know more. "Time is,huh how do i explain it to you??wait a second,do you age?" He shakes his head. This may become a double edge sword but"Can you see my memories?" "Yes"He comes forward to touch my head. I step back a few steps "Wait a minute, I didn''t say you to do it" "I thought you wanted me too"He makes a kind of sad face like a child''s who was scolded for something not his fault. It''s my mistake, I forgot that I am probably the first person he came in contact with.Need to teach him about boundaries and privacy. "Ok,ok my fault.But could you look at only the memories I want to show you?" "Hmm" He then touches my head. I then explain him concepts like time, privacy and boundaries. After my lesson was over,and when i looked at him,his eyes looked a bit more mature than before. "Oh so that''s what time means.I can''t quantify how long have i been here.I was always here for as long as,i can remember.Only thing i can remember is that i am this very Universe" Suddenly i felt a pull on myself "Call me back later" I open my eyes to see Karnilla and Odin??!!. "As soon as you get out of my eyes,you have to do something to bring attention to you don''t you?" "What did i do now?" "You started giving out surges of mana even more than before.If Odin here hadn''t controlled it there would have been many magicians knocking at our doors" "Careful Karnilla,you know i don''t like it when you call me by my First Name and as for you Carl Asmund i would like to have an explanation." 31 29-Odins interrogation "So Carl Asmund,mind telling me what have you been upto to become like this?." Odin looked different to me right now than he did at my Godhood ceremony.I could seesimilar flickers of light around him as i saw around Karnilla,but his were glowing much brighter than Karnilla''s though their shine had a bit of blackness in it. After which Karnilla and I sat down to explain everything that had happened till now to him. "So you connected to a Universe instead of a Dimension and the being there gave made you a generator just because you became friends with it?" "Yes." Even i could see that Odin found it quite unbelievable. "So what had happened just now when i came here for you to start giving out so much mana?" I knew that there was no point lying.So I told the truth. "It called me and i was talking with him until you pulled me." "Hmm"Odin looked like he was thinking and thinking hard "Karnilla come with me,i need to have some words with you and as for you Carl,if you are ''called'' by that being then do come in this room before going.I have enchanted this room to not leak out mana." "Why can''t you do the same enchantment on me?" Odin looked a bit pissed at me having questioned him but he still answered my question "This enchanted restricts mana flow,I can cast it on you but you won''t be able to magic after that,now tell me do you want that?" What,hell no.I ain''t losing all this power.I would rather prefer going berserk than weak. "No,no.And thank You,AllFather" One day i am definitely going to learn his wordless enchantment. Karnilla and Odin then left me going to God knows where. {Karnilla POV} Odin and I go back to my Throne Room. "How much of what he said do you believe Karnilla?" "Every word of it AllFather,i have never seen a person more talented than him at magic.He learned what would take even the most talented person centuries in a decade.He even made the Stone glow white when i tested his talent for Magic" That caused even Odin to raise his eyebrows. "White light splits to give VIBGYOR,his talent couldn''t be measured by the Stone,thus it gave out white light.The main question is why did that Being give him so much power for just becoming his friend.For now we need to observe Carl" "What do you mean observe Carl?Do you see him as a threat to Asgard?." "He is not yet,but that Being might just be." 32 30-Control {Karnilla POV} "Wait a minute Odin,are you saying that you are going to imprison him?"I said "I never said that Karnilla." "So what are you going to do?" "The enchantment in his room would alert me whenever he is called by that Being.I would observe what happens at that time." "Just want to remind you Odin,Carl is my student as long as he is not in the wrong I won''t allow you to do anything that may harm him.I am not afraid to fight if it comes to that,i may not be able to defeat you but i can definitely escape with Carl." "Don''t try to threaten me Karnilla and as for Carl as long as he doesn''t threaten the safety of Asgard,I won''t even hurt a hair on his head and once again don''t test my patience Karnilla my taking my name without proper respect." {Karnilla POV ends} {Carl POV} I could feel Karnilla and Odin going to the throne room.For now let''s sit and try to control this mana.I then tried to perform some basic spells, each of these were coming off more powerful than they did before but i lacked the control i previously had over them.Need to work on my control, can''t accidentally kill people because i couldn''t even control my spell.But on the bright side i have enough mana now to teleport myself to Earth,but can''t do it now with my messed up control i may end up God knows where. Practising my spells helped me control my mana more and more with time.After few days,i was able to feel mana leaking out of me.So much mana wasted,what if i try to control this mana.After a few more days and many many experiments i was able to control that mana and prevent it from leaking out of my body, though it doesn''t solve my problem of glowing,yup i am still glowing.I went to ask Karnilla whether there was something different with me she told me that she could still sense that i was a generator but that no Mana was leaking out of me. Karnilla kept calling me a generator,this made me have an inspiration,generators have an on and off switch so why can''t i have an on and off switch.I can''t go totally in an off mode cause then I won''t be able to use magic,Since I won''t be able to use my mana and i can''t use the the traditional way of magic,personal magic is right out I don''t want to use my life force,universal force won''t work for me now that i am connected to some other Universe,this Universe won''t allow me to use it''s energy(Author''s Note:Consider it like a wife having thrown you out of the house after she found you cheating on her with someone else,here the wife is the Universe) and i don''t have a Dimension for Dimensional Energies. 33 31-Uru Why do i keep facing more problems after problems?Even though i had a small mana limit, at least i could still do magic and not have people coming after me.Wait a second, Mana limit,storing mana in an object,i can use it. I immediately went and bought certain jewellery like rings, earrings,and necklace to test my theory.I already knew the way to store mana in objects but storing and using mana from stored objects isn''t a popular method because it is difficult to make such an object and the rate of successfully making it is low and only the person who makes it can use it properly as if someone else uses it then it causes certain side effect.After having everything i needed i began to run my experiments,and each of the jewellery burst or just couldn''t contain my mana.My mana was easily corroding it,I needed a stronger elements. Elements that came into my minds were Adamantium and Vibranium but i couldn''t get my hands on them since they were on Earth.Only metal i knew that could be available on Asgard was Uru.I then went to ask Karnilla about where i can get Uru.It was easy for me to find her as i could feel her. "Karnilla can you tell me where I can get some Uru?" "Why do you need Uru Carl?" I then explained to her what i wanted to do.She was impressed to see the theory i had thought of. "There''s some Uru in the treasury,you can go get it later?But do you know forging?to convert it into any thing wearable or are you just going to carry a lump of metal everywhere?" "I am thinking of going to the Dwarves,they are the best at forging so they should be able to the best possible." "And how are you going to convince Dwarves to do a custom project for them, did you hit your head and suddenly thought you were Odin to get them agree to it?" "No,but i know a reason why they would." Ok,since you are so confident then we will go to the treasury get the Uru and go see the Dwarves later on,ok?" "Ok" 34 32-Agreemen After picking up the Uru, Karnilla and I made our way to Nidavellir to meet with Eitri.Dwarves usually don''t meet with people other than to do business but they agree to meet with us as they held good will towards Asgardians due to Odin.Dwarven goods, mostly weapons are sold for a lot on the market so they are very popular. Nidavellir looked just like it looked in Avengers: Infinity War but their Star was still burning (Author''s Note:no idea if what word to use here maybe ablaze you guys should understand what i mean.)right now.And there were a lot of Dwarves in Nidavellir too unlike how in the movie only Eitri was the one surviving. Let me tell you all this,whoever named their race Dwarves didn''t know the meaning of the word,all of them were larger than a normal Asgardian with Eitri being tallest of them all. We were taken to a central room where Eitri was sitting on a big ass seat,on seeing us specifically Karnilla he stood up and came forward to greet us once again specifically Karnilla.After which we were left alone with Him. "Nice to meet you after so long Karnilla,the Queen of Norns"with a big smile. "Nice to see you again Eitri and it has been really long hasn''t?" "3 centuries and 22years to be specific but who cares about that.So finally what brings you to visit this poor fellow?" "Well my student here,Carl wanted you help in making something with Uru." He finally took a look at me for the first time since we entered the room. "You took a student after what happened with you apprentice Karnilla waoh,just what did he do to convince you for it?" "Well when a top grade talent comes and delivers itself on your front door yoy become quite tempted to take it under you." Then he took a look at me for the second time since we entered the room though this time he was scrutinizing me. "He doesn''t look too impressive to me." "Well he is quite good at giving people surprises."Karnilla knowing that Eitri wouldn''t talk with me until she was there left after making some small talks with him. "So kid tell me why should i make whatever it is you want?" "Well I can guarantee to show you a metal which is capable of absorbing all kinds of vibrations and such good alcohol to make you forget what you drink now." "Show me and then i will decide" "I don''t have either of them now but i will have it in the future and i will definitely give them to them." "I will believe you for now kid, you are Karnilla''s student so i would ask here for reparations if you fail to deliver and label you as a an enemy of Dwarves am j clear?" "Crystal." 35 33-Forging "So what is it do you want us to make?" I then explained to him about me wanting to store mana in it for use. "What shape do you want it in?" "Gauntlet for my hand" Oh i am so going to love seeing the look on Thanos''s face later on. "You would have to stay here for as long as it takes to make it cause you would have to supply your mana in to in at every step of forging to make it yours and only yours." "Can i stay there and watch when you are making it?" "Want to see the famous Dwarven forging huh kid?Sure you can watch it." Eitri and i then went out to meet Karnilla.Karnilla then stayed with us at Nidavellir for a few days after which she left.Let me tell you something,Dwarves are simple minded being,a bit arrogant when regarding to forging but otherwise simple and excellent at holding their liquor.They could finish a barrel of alcohol easily and wouldn''t get tipsy till the third barrel. I had to spend most of my days watching Eitri make my gauntlet,for those thinking why Eitri is making the gauntlet for me it is because Karnilla asked him to do so and to which Eitri agreed to in a second. So here we were with Eitri the King of Dwarves making a gauntlet for me.The reason behind why i had asked Eitri to allow me to watch was to find a chance to look at their forging and maybe secretly learn it. I asked Eitri alot of questions during the time he was forging,l was able to pick up forging up to a bit,though he was quite annoyed with my constant questioning.And directly asked while laughing "Do you think you can learn forging just by watching?" "Maybe i will" That got a boisterous laugh from Eitri and the Dwarves near us.All of whom thought i was a fool.Oh i am going to love proving them all wrong.During the day i was with Eitri looking at him working on the Gauntlet and at night would find scrapes and use them to practice my forging.There was no lack of materials on Nidavellir so it was kind of easy to always find material to try forging on.While i was working today,I suddenly heard a voice behind me. "So,this is what you have been upto?" 36 34-My Gauntle "Huh?Oh Eitri it''s you." "So you have been trying your hand at forging huh?" "Yes,found it interesting,you had already figured it out hadnt you?" "When you started asking questions i thought it was only on a whim but your questions began to ask more details and that too important ones,so i figured you would be working." Showing him some of the things i had forged,i asked him for an assessment. "So how did I do?" "Pretty good for a novice who learnt only through watching." "Thanks" That was a pretty high advice coming from him as Eitri was always serious when it comes to forging and wouldn''t give out praises when the produced good was not upto his standard. "You know you could have asked for some guidance from me." "Really,you would have taught me?"I was clearly Shocked at this. "Don''t get your hopes high kid,i would have only taught you the basics that too only because of your talent,we Dwarves don''t teach our technique to any one other than Dwarves" Yeah i knew he wouldn''t. "You have gotten a bit thinner from before haven''t you?" After Eitri said that i too noticed that I had gotten thinner from before. "Yeah,i guess so" "Don''t overwork yourself kid and go to sleep you have dark circles under your eyes" Saying so he departs.I took a look at a mirror in the bathroom later on and did notice that I was a bit thinner and looked a bit starved?? than before.Well let''s just go to sleep and we will deal with it later. The Next Day "Kid, your mana storage device would be ready by the night cause there''s only one thing remaining to complete the process"said Eitri "Overloading it with my mana"I replied "Exactly,looks like you really did learn things kid,come on let''s finish it" After few Hours,i gauntlet had finally finished and was there infront of my eyes.It looked so much like the one Thanos had but not too much,I had mine be blue in color so it went with my hair. "Here,kid your Gauntlet" After wearing the gauntlet,i had decided to go on and do my experiments but before that i had to bid the Dwarves goodbye they all treated me quite well in my stay. "So i guess this is goodbye?"asked Eitri "Yes,but i will be back later to keep my promise" "You better" I then teleported back to Nornheim 37 NOT A CHAPTER @@ Fine Fine,no more hate about his name.Comment in this chapter cool names and the most liked would become the name.Dont write swear or abusive words for name.I will not edit the name in the previous chapters but in the future he would be called whatever is chosen For information,i choose the name Carl from GTA:SA And he will interfere in the normal MCU timeline in the future and make changes to it so don''t worry about that atleast wait for it to start. For those asking about super intelligence and how it was a waste of a wish that didn''t even come true,He was a kid even though he reincarnated but still his mind hasn''t reached the level of maturity to use his intelligence properly.His minds starts like that of a kid and with time he will become more intelligent but there''s a catch here too,just like his nerfed instant mastery,his intelligence would be nerfed to,he would be as intelligent or even more than Reed Richard or Doom or Tony Stank but won''t be the most intelligent person in the Universe.I never did like novels where the reincarnated into a super intelligent baby who has already changed the laws of physics before he even started walking.@@ 38 35-Knocked ou (New name Vali Asmund) I teleported myself back to my room in Nornheim and then went to show my gauntlet to Karnilla. "How does the Gauntlet look, Karnilla?" I said that while handing over the Gauntlet to Karnilla. "It''s good,worthy of being called Eitri''s work but you on the other hand don''t look so good,you look much more thinner and have bags under your eyes.Are you ok?" "Yeah,Yeah its ok i am just a bit tired and will take rest later for now i am going to be doing my experiments and will see you later then" After saying so i left for my room to finally work on my ''glowing'' problem. I then channeled and placed a lot of my mana into the gauntlet which it absorbed and a strange thing happened,it started glowing too as it stored my mana.After a while and after storing my mana i finally decided to perform my off/on experiment. As soon as i tried to switch the generation of mana off everything went black. {Karnilla POV} Huh i can''t sense Vali''s mana,his experiment must have worked,i should go and congratulate him and tell him to take some rest,he is not looking so good nowadays.I made my way to his room and after knocking for a while when he still didn''t open his door i teleported inside only to find Vali knocked out "What the hell did you do Vali?" He is still breathing,but what did he do to himself. 2 weeks have passed and Vali is asleep i need to get a second opinion but the only one i can think of is Odin. 4 weeks have passed since Vali fell asleep,I have tried everything i could to wake him up but he didn''t there''s no point ij delaying anymore i need to take him to Odin. Later with Odin "So you are telling me that he fell asleep trying to stop more mana from being generated?" "Yes,i know that sounds odd but he didn''t quite like to glow and be a signal for everyone as a generator,he worked so hard for this that he started growing thinner day by day and looked fatigued. "Did He start becoming thinner since he came in contact with the Being who changed his body and has been glowing and generating mana?" "Maybe,he has not stayed in a single place except for Nidavellir since that happened so i can''t be sure but why is that important?" "I think I know why this is happening." 39 38-Travel For the next few weeks i stayed with Asmund and worked on figuring out my powers,I was more stronger than before.I understood why Tyr at the beginning told me to find my domain,its a major boost to your power.I had even tried to use magic with the mana in the Gauntlet,when i did magic i felt like i had much more control on it than before.I went into my battle mode and found that i started glowing as soon as i turned it on,I could feel people around me and depending on their mana pool or powers they appeared shining to me like Karnilla and Odin had and the shine depended on their power. I had teleported to Nornheim and met Karnilla too.She was happy to see me.She adviced me to not depend on my battle mode for long as it had quite a toll on my body.I assured her that i wouldn''t and after a few days of staying in Nornheim i left back to live with my dad and work on my powers. Few years passed like this with me trying to get better at using my powers but with time i felt stagnated.I couldn''t make any more progress and when i asked Tyr for some advice he told me to travel,to go on a journey of self discovery.Almost all of the Asgardian Gods have gone on for travels in their time even Odin had travelled the nine realms in his youth.Well this gives me a good excuse to go to Earth though i have no idea what year it should be over there cause Thor still has not been banished by Odin. I have two methods currently to travel to Earth,one was to get permission from Odin to use the Bifrost or i could teleport myself but it would be difficult cause I don''t have the coordinates of Earth so i decided to go with the first method.I arranged a meeting with Odin to request for the use of Bifrost. "So Vali Asmund,why would you want to go to Midgard a place with weak mortals?" "I have stagnated in my practice and would like to gain more experience.Tyr suggested me to travel as it will help me in gaining more experience." "Very well then i permit you the use of Bifrost but a fair warning no needless killing of the mortals,you are a God and should act befitting of a God." "I understand" Saying so i left and bid goodbye to Asmund, Karnilla and Tyr.And made my way to Bifrost to meet Heimdall and get to Earth. Finally Earth I am coming!!. 40 39-Unexpected Meeting How should I say this but Heimdall is quite intimidating,in the movies seeing the charismatic Idris Elba play him you don''t notice it.But in person it feels like his glare pierces through you and can everything about you. "I can''t see you"said Heimdall in a gruff tone. "Ok"It felt somewhat weird to me that Heimdall could see everyone else at all time and i stress upon it ''AT ALL TIME'' no matter what you are doing he could still peep at you.Though it surprised me that he couldn''t see me. "Any specific place you have in mind to land at?"asked Heimdall. "No,drop me anywhere and i will find my way." "Usually if someone wants to come back he calls my name and i find him and open the Bifrost but for you,I can''t do it since i can''t seem to see you with my eyes.You would have to send your coordinates to me with magic to open Bifrost for you."After saying so Heimdall powers up the Bifrost and gestures to me to go. ''The AllFather was right, there are no strings of fate on him.''thought Heimdall as he looked at Vali''s back. Traveling through Bifrost is such a beautiful experience.It''s like getting high on drugs.You feel like you are floating in space with bright lights surrounding you.I was broken out of my state when i suddenly fell on the ground. Picking myself up and looking around i see lush fields all around me with crop circles drawn on the area i am standing on.The crop circles were due to Bifrost.The designs were actually runes which were responsible for travel between the realm without these runes it would require large amount of energy for traveling through the realms. I should probably go look for some habitat and find out just where and whenin the timeline I am.I walked through the fields for a while looking for someone.I didn''t use magic to fly or teleport short distance as I don''t want to scare people before i meet them. Suddenly I felt ripples of mana near me.Someone was teleporting near me. I see a figure come before me and with a smile greets me. "Hello Asgardian,mind having a tea with me?" 41 40-Interrogation {In Kamar-Taj} Currently I am with Ancient One having a nice cup of tea in a room in Kamar-Taj.Nice place with good scenery if i have to say something about it.She seemed to be enjoying her tea having no attention on me.I finally decided to break the silence. "Am i a special case or do you greet everyone who comes to Midgard?"i asked starting at her. "Well I usually don''t go and take look at every person coming to Earth but when the person visiting Earth could potentially kill a large number of people then i do have to take a look at the person.If you don''t mind me asking,what is the reason for visiting Earth?" So the cross examination starts.She wants to know whether i am a threat or not. "I am here for traveling,got bored up there not much happens over there to pass time."Well what i said is the truth though I can''t just say to her that Earth is the focal point of the MCU and i am here to play with it. "Traveling you say huh"said the Ancient One.Though she didn''t look convinced. "Well as long as you don''t cause unnecessary destruction then it''s all okay.Well did you like the Tea?" "Yeah,i did one of the best i have ever tasted even better than some present on Asgard."i wasn''t lying here. "That''s good to here.So any place you have in mind to visit on your travels?" "None currently I have just dropped here without any plan so would probably only wander and look around.Could you provide me with a map,it would help me in my travels." "Sure that''s no problem." She then manifested a map out of thin air and passed it to me. "Do you mind if I stay here for a while and study some of the magic?I have some skills in Asgardian magic." "You practise magic?"She looked shocked,she should be there are no mana fluctuations near me when i am not in my battle mode.Atleast this give me a trump card for she won''t be able to know my level of mastery. "Well you can stay here for aslong as you want, knowledge is available here for everyone here at Kamar-Taj" Well this atleast solves my problem of information gathering. 42 41-Travel Been walking in Kamar-Taj for the past few days met a lot of people, found out that I am in the year 1938.Quite near the events of Captain America First Avenger.I can''t go and get the Tesseract right now,I only know that it is in Germany somewhere and the Red Skull will find it later on so let''s just wait for him to make my work easy. Time stone is so near me right now,I had seen the Ancient One wearing the Eye of Agamotto when she had come to greet me. Asgardian Magic and the magic practiced on Earth is quite different mainly due to the difference in physique and soul of the humans and my species, Humans have weaker physique and soul as compared to us making them a bit weaker in controlling mana though they still channel mana taken from different dimension.Haven''t seen Mordo or Kaecilus here so they must be coming here in later years. Suddenly I was approached by Ancient One(Author here: Can we use some short form when referring to here always writing her name as Ancient One feels strange, drop a comment of what you want her name to be, the comment with most like wins) "Hello Mr. Asmund, how are your days going in Kamar Taj? " "They are going well.I like the atmosphere here people working together and learning magic. " "Oh yes,that''s the beauty of this place except for a few things everything else is taught to whosoever wants to learn it.Have you thought about learning Magic?" "No no,I am thinking of leaving soon, want to travel and look around this place.I am happy with what I know." "Any plans for a specific place?May I suggest a visit to the Paris it''s a beautiful place. " "Maybe I wil go to Paris sometime in the future, for now I will travel on foot and go where ever the road takes me. " "Well then I wish you well on your journey." I browsed through the library of Kamar Taj for the next few days and left. {A Few Months Later} I have been travelling for the past few months crossed Nepal then entered India and have been here for the past few weeks.I did get some eyes raised when I was walking amongst the people mainly due to my looks so I casted a looks changing speel so that I can blend in with the native. I had decided to leave Kamar Taj as while I was there I always felt like I was under observation by the Ancient One, don''t get me wrong in the movies she was a good person but I can''t take my chances in the comics Ancient One was pretty powerful though I think I can fight her and survive but it would be difficult to defeat her as she has the time stone with her right now.Its good that she doesn''t know I can use magic it will be a good trump carp if I have to ever fight her. I have been in India for the last few months,it''s a good place though it has no independence and is under the control of British.I am currently in Bombay,it''s 1942 right now. World War || is at its peak. I know that Red Skull would be getting the Tesseract any time this year and Steve would be undergoing his operation this or the next year.I will be leaving for Bengal in a few days from where I will board a ship for USA, I could just teleport but I want to take in some sights of the journey. 43 42-Pro Patria Mori Finally in the US of A, I never did come here in my previous life though its still 1943 not 2019.I roamed around few of the States for the better part of the past year waiting for the timeline to start and going around to different enlistment centre so as to get a sight of Steve.Saw less amount of males as I thought I would.I am pretty sure that Red Skull should have the tesseract by now. .Current I am in New York.Saw a bar so decided to have a drink to blow off some steam. Entered the bar to find a few people sharing a drink called loneliness but it is better than drinking alone. The bar wasn''t much just a normal one though it did look like it had seen better days. Sat on the counter and saw the Barman approach me. "Give me the strongest drink you have. " Saying so I placed some money on the counter.For those wondering about where I got the money, I just borrowed it using teleportation magic from a bank nothing much. Barman who is a chatty guy named Joe had a limp leg.He placed a big cup on my table and started to talk about his business with me. "I tell you man, business ain''t going good nowadays most of the boys are off to fight having unrealistic dreams of glory, they don''t know shit about War. " said Joe while pouring a glass for himself. "You ever been in a war?."I asked. "Yeh, in the first one, no amount of glory for the dead was enough reimbursement." he said so while taking a big chug of his glass. "Only two ways to motivate young hormone filled men, Women and Money, they ain''t got enough money so they use women making it seem like they would be extremely proud to see Men die for them on field."I said totally agreeing with him. "I was one of those young men back then, joined the war reading the poems of a certain poetess completely convinced that it will bring a lot of glory and ladies to me when I will tell them about being in the war,It did nothing but give me scars for my life both mental and physical. The sights that you see during the war, these young guys can''t imagine it right now but once they see it they will never forget it.You enlisted? " "No,this one is not a war for me to fight." I replied taking a sip of my drink. "Do Whatever suits you,I tell you it''s right to fight for what you think is right but those people who started the war the second time are nothing more than power seeking bastards, not caring a dime about the lives lost.They already fought once and knew the consequences of the war still didn''t stopped once to think about starting it again "he took a deep sigh taking a large gulp of his drink and left me to think about everything that he had said. 44 43-Meeting The First. I have been looking around different Enlistment Camp so as to get a look at Steve. It is only in New York that I caught a sight of him going inside an enlistment centre. He came out after a while looking dejected,i tailed him after that so as to take a look at him.He was just as scrawny looking as he was shown in the movie and looking at him really made me amazed about how good of a supersoldier serum Eskrine made and at his mind.To make such a powerful serum with no side effects in this time period,a feat which is repeated ever again in the future at least without any side effects. I see Steve walking around dejected and entering some alleys.I follow after him and see him get in altercation with some boys all of which were "bigger" than him.Steve tries to fight them but is shoved down Everytime he tries to fight back.But he gets up everytime.(Sigh)That persistence of him to always do what is right is really a bother.Maybe this is why Eskrine choose him.Eskrine did say that the serum enhances everything about the user.Well I should intervene. "Hey what are you boys doing there?" Hearing my voice,the three of the boys run away. "You shouldn''t try to fight when you are outnumbered and weaker than the people before you."I told him. Steve picks himself up and looks at me to say "But a person should fight for what is right.True strength is having(huh huh) the courage to fight against wrong." Damn still the boy scout.I bend down to pick up some papers that Steve had dropped. "So you trying to enlist? Didn''t know that the army enlists kids." "I am not a kid.And yes I am trying to enlist but rejected everytime." "Why?" "Sorry??" "Why do you try to enlist again and again?even though you are rejected everytime.Just take a look at yourself do you think that someone like you is going to make a difference by being there?" Steve looks at me straight into my eyes and says with determination "I may not be strongest or the smartest person around but if I could even save a single life by giving my own then I am happy." "And what makes you sure that you can save that life with how you are right now?" Steve looks a bit conflicted at that but regains his composure "I''ll find a way" I give him a pat on his shoulder while simultaneously placing a tracking charm on him. "Well I hope you find a way to do what you want.But even if you don''t just remember that you are destined for greatness and I am saying this just to console you but on the basis of your attitude.Always remember it''s our attitude which shapes our personality."Saying so I walk away leaving Steve thinking about our conversation. 45 44-Joining Howling Commandos Meeting Steve was fun.I have been keeping a track of where he has been going for the past few days.He met Bucky a few days back.I took some blood sample from Steve and Bucky when they were not paying attention.It will come in handy after both of them go through their procedures as a means to compare the processes both of them went through. I saw Steve being approached by Eskrine and then being recruited by him. (A Few Days Later) So today''s the day,Steve is going for his "procedure".I saw Agent Carter escorting Steve with her and then I entered along with the Colonel and the government officers blending in with them. As the procedure was going on I picked up a vial or two.And before you all judge it as stealing,realize this that this serum is the most close a person has ever come to enhancing humans strength without side effects!!!.Being here also presented me with an opportunity to save Eskrine but I didn''t pay heed to that train of thought as Eskrine''s dead is an important plot point for Steve and imagine if Eskrine survives,the United States Army will probably force him to give up the secret behind the serum and create an army of super soldiers.I shuddered at the thought of thousands of people all enhanced with the super solder serum going to fight.Pretty sure that the world war would then end with USA becoming a dictator power over every other nation.Though it would end the fight way sooner. Everything proceeds just the way it did in the movies,Steve comes out jacked with everyone surprised at his change. Eskrine getting shot and there is panic in the room.Steve runs after the Hydra agent while I subtlety leave. After leaving I immediately go and get myself enlisted.They did a series of test and even took some blood.All the people there were surprised as I had more strength than a usual human.Not by much as I did restrained myself but yeah enough to get noticed by some higher ups to pull some strings and have me beside themselves protecting them.A job I did well enough to earn their trust. Nothing differs from the movie Steve is then made a poster boy for war propaganda till he goes and rescues Bucky and the other and forms his Howling Commandos.And through some divine intervention (cough cough my magic)the higher ups decided to put me in the Howling Commandos. Imagine Steve''s surprise when he saw me. 46 45-First Avenger Ends Steve was looking at me with a surprised expression and comes forward to greet me. "I didn''t get your name last time"said Steve while extending his hand to shake mine though I could still see the sorrow in his eyes. I grab his hand and said"What did you do?Bath in the blood of virgins?"I try to lift up his spirits. Steve takes me and explains to me about his "procedure".I try my best to act shocked while he was going through his explanation. I had joined Howling Commandos after Bucky had fallen from the train.I didn''t want to join before so as to change any event that results in the formation of Winter Soldier,he is an important character in Steve''s arc and especially needed for Civil War to happen. We completed many missions together until we were given a final mission to strike down the last Hydra Outpost where Red Skull was. The events follow what goes on in the film.I busy myself fighting Hydra soldiers while Steve goes after Red Skull.I reach there in time to hear Steve telling Peggy about how he has to take a rain check.I put my hands around Peggy and console her when we no longer hear Steve''s voice. We then go back and report our mission to the superiors. For those wondering about why I didn''t run after and get the tesseract the reason is that it fell in ocean somewhere,I don''t even know how to locate it in such big area and why should I work hard in finding it when Howard will ultimately find it while looking for Steve I will simply borrow it then. I then go on to hand in my retirement request to the superiors,I had nothing left to do there anyway.They requested me to do one final mission(an unsanctioned one) though they would still accept my retirement request even I if rejectedbut since I was free I accepted their preposition.Meanwhile all this was happening I went and met Peggy a couple of times.She was as headstrong as she was before Steve,not letting his supposed death haunt her.She even invited me to join a organization that she would be starting.Though she didn''t give me many details of it.I declined telling her that I was done with all the fighting but she could always rely on me for help.I told her that I would be leaving for Canada in a few days to do my final mission. I reached Canada a few days later.My mission was to look around and confirm whether Canada was working on human experimentations.I had the report of where the labs where and my job was to infiltrate it and find whatever I could. Infiltrating the lab was easy,easily I went pass all the guards until I heard a hoarse voice say "You could get past the others but not me." And who I turn around to see shocks me to my core. 47 46-Chapter Name in Authors Note I saw a short stature person with claws coming out of his hands,boney claws,at least he has not gone through the Weapon X procedure yet.Standing before me was Wolverine,James Howlett in all his glory before he was experimented upon.I was extremely shocked to see him in MCU cause he was never there in the Canon.I think he thought that I was surprised on seeing his claws. Wolverine runs towards and pounces on me.I sidestep letting him fall but not before one of his claw slashes a cut on my shirt. "That was my favorite shirt"I complain while I get in my fighting stance. Wolverine again rushes at me and I punch him straight in the jaw,being taller definitely comes in handy.He is pushed back a few steps and holds his dislocated jaw and places it back in it''s space. "Now you have made me angry!!"shouts Wolverine and just like a wild animal rushes at me without any reason.I toyed with him,with my strength defeating Wolverine was too easy but I just let him fight me so as to not hurt his pride.After a few banter back and forth in which I prevailed on top I finally decided that it was enough and kneened him in the stomach and slammed him on the ground.Wolverine was now too much in pain and tired to stand up.I looked at a dog tag on his neck and snatched it.It said James Howlett at least confirming that I was right.I throw the dog tag at him and said"So much for you being angry". He left out a groan probably seething at the words I said.I looked around the lab and found no other mutants thought I knocked out all of the guards.I then left as their was nothing of interest for me,I had seen what all I needed to see but I didn''t go back and report it to the superiors I had no reason to.Why would I inform them about mutants, that too this soon.Informing them about mutants would only make them fear mutants and use them as weapons this soon probably causing some big butterfly effect.Atmost they will think that I died and label me KIA that''s okay with me one less thing to worry about if they believe I am dead. So mutants are in this universe huh.So this must be an alternate universe not exactly the MCU I know,I just assumed that it was, considering the people I saw.Atleast now there would be some fun to see the things that I can''t expect. After a few weeks of my visit to Canada,I got to know that I was officially declared dead that too of natural causes,I laughed at that.They just wanted to deny that I was sent by them to infiltrate one of their allies.Though I did let Peggy and few of the Howling Commandos who I trusted know that I was alive and asked them to keep this a secret. 48 47-Copied Successfully Few years have passed since I died of natural causes,this always gets a chuckle out of me.I have been travelling for all this time.Recently found out that Howard located the Tesseract and has it with him.Its my time to borrow it. I have the tesseract with me.Was quite easy to go in there and just waltz out with it.I have been thinking for a while on how to keep it with me while also placing it back in it''s original place so as to not interfere with canon over there.I am thinking of cloning it,try to make it''s copy so as to use it''s power even though they might be weaker than the original but it should work at the very least. The tesseract is in the end energy what if I could copy it,make a copy of the energy and keep that copy with me. To try to do this,I found a secluded spot on the Himalayas,pretty sure no one would disturb me here and try to do so.After 10 to 15 years I was finally able to achieve a limited breakthrough.I had finally made a copy of the Tesseract though it paled in comparison to the original still it was impressive in it''s own right.Now my next step is to incorporate the copy to me,as such it will not get separated from me,I didn''t try to do it with the original as doing so would have killed me,the infinity stones in all their power cannot be wielded by any race without some repercussions.And to incorporate it with one''s body would destroy the body slowly but surely.But this copy,I could easily incorporate it with me. Incorporating it within me went without a hitch.Now I could use the power of The Tesseract and teleport anywhere I want to,even taking people with me without having to have visited the place before.I could even make pocket dimensions now. With my job finished with the Tesseract,I went and placed it back in Shield''s storage,I had placed a spell over there before I had borrowed the Tesseract so as to know if anyone was coming to look for it.I removed the spell and placed in back in it''s position and left once again without any problems. After a while since I was free I decided to go and check up on Peggy. I went to Peggy''s house and sat on a chair meditating while waiting for her to come.Late in the night I heard the sound of door unlocking. "Welcome Home!"I shouted. Peggy turns towards me taking a gun out from somewhere and aiming it at me. "Jesus,Vali you are lucky that I recognized your voice otherwise I would have shot you."said Peggy while bringing down her gun. "It''s good to see you too Peggy." "You don''t look a day older than what you looked like when I last saw you"said Peggy. "Well I will take that as a compliment." I then sat down with Peggy and discussed what had happened with each other since we last saw each other. She told me about how they have founded SHIELD and interesting tales of her missions while I told her about my travels to different places on Earth.She even asked me to join SHIELD but I told her that I was more than happy being dead.Ultimately I had dinner with her and left after wishing her well. 49 48-Pocket Dimension So ya after bidding goodbye to Peggy.I left back to my sanctuary in Himalayas.I made it much better than it was before,it will act as my headquarters.Installed a centralized air conditioning system to control the temperature inside the cave so that if any guest comes in he doesn''t feel too cold. Made it hospitable for people to live in,a guest room,beds dinner table etc,maybe we can use this as the headquarters for Avengers. After I was done with that I went for a sleep, technically I don''t need to sleep much but since I hadn''t slept for a while I decided why not. After a few days of sleeping,I woke up and decided to do something maybe I have no idea about what to do till Iron Man starts.Sigh still so many years till that happens. I decided to work on a pet project of mine,the idea of this came to me after I incorporated the Tesseract clone with me.I am going to use the clone to create a pocket dimension and store my mana in it.So let''s get on with it.But I don''t think I should do it on Earth,my strong mana would probably alert Ancient One.So I left for Mars not because of any special reason just remembered Dr Manhatan and how he used to spend his time on it.Then I went on with my work,Making a sustainable pocket dimension is difficult even with the clone,I could create the pocket dimension easily but it wouldn''t remain alive or existing for a long time it would die after a while it took me years to finally make a sustainable pocket dimension.I then went into my battle mode,damn i usually forget this but I feel very powerful in my battle mode.I then went on to supply my mana into the dimension.I filled it as much as I could at that time,the dimension had a limit for now,it was not infinite had I made it using the real Tesseract it may have been infinite but I didn''t have it with me now, though even this limited works well.Now coming to the gauntlet,I won''t be throwing it away, it''s a dwarven creation it''s just so powerful and could act as a diversion and making people think that it was the source of my mana.Just another card that I can hide if I have to fight anyone who knows or suspects about the Gauntlet being the source of my mana. Finished with my work I left to go back to Earth. On my way back I saw a ship crashing on Earth,huh how unexpected and with that I leave to follow it. 50 49-So whats your name? I follow the trail of the spaceship,reaching down on the ground I see a completely destroyed Blockbuster I look around to find a security guard sitting gawking at me. "Hey,man do you know who did this?"I say it to him in my most pleasant voice I could. He pointed towards a payphone where I saw a woman wearing a Kree uniform. "Didn''t think that I would see a Kree StarForceon Earth." She turns around to look at me and eyes me suspiciously. "And I didn''t think I will see an Asgardian on C-53." "C-53 that''s y''all designation for Earth"I chuckled at this. I felt a guy coming towards us. "Excuse me, Miss.Did you know anything about a lady blowing a hole through the roof of that Blockbuster over there?Witness says she looks dressed for laser tag." I turn towards him to see Nick Fury ,I wasn''t surprised to see him but was surprised to see him with both of his eyes. Nick turns towards me and says"And you Mr,I was told you came looking after her?" Just then we are attacked by the Skrulls,The lady Chased after them,while Nick follows her as I escape in this ensuing confusion. I found Nick and The Lady later on, in a car. "Hey,missed me?"I said looking at them with a cocky grin. They come out of the car and Fury looks at me "And who are you Mr,cause I have had enough strangeness for today,I don''t want think I can handle any more of it."said Nick "Well Fury I would hope you are ready for more and can handle it,"I then looked at the lady"And who may you be,Miss?" "I think it is the manner for the one asking should be the one to answer first."she said. "Well my mistake,the name of this fellow is Vali,Vali Asmund."I told them. Nick was the first to react "What you a fan of the Norse mythology or what.?" She steps forwards and says "Vers,member of Kree StarForce." "So Vers why are you on Earth,if you are here to hurt the people of Earth,if so then we have a problem"I say this while making myself look as intimidating as I could and also while looking in her eyes.She replied my stare without flinching. Nick was standing beside us speaking some gibberish which both of us were ignoring. Finally Vers spoke"I am not here for the people here,I am here because of the Skrulls they want something that they are looking for in this planet" "Well then I will just tag along to see what they are up to,I hope you have no problems with that"saying so I sat in Nick''s car. Nick was shouting now at the top of his voice angered at being ignored for so long.He was against me joining and spoke about it but Vers and I just ignored him while acting cool. 51 50-Captain Marvel "So let me get this,we are going to a US Military Base to get info about this Dr.Lawson who somehow the Skrulls are after and is in your memories"I asked. "Yes"replied Vers. "Ok then."I replied and sat with my eyes closed.Nick was there as our personal chauffer. We reached the base where we were taken in custody after a while because we kept asking for Dr Lawson. Nick finally came useful here getting us out of a locked door,Vers was happy to see him useful whereas I thought that it would have been better had I just kicked the door.Well I have to say this here that Nick right now is much more different than the Nick seen in Avengers at least he was less intense and mysterious than he was then.Well for a lack of a better word let''s just say he was inexperienced. We made our way to the Logistics looking around for any file on Dr.Lawson.We found out that she was dead.And a file with Vers details to follow the lead we decided to go to the house of another Pilot who was the last to see Vers and Dr Lawson.But before we could go we were ambushed by SHIELD members. While I was Fighting with them Nick stood in the way. "Hey they are my colleagues,you don''t get to kill them"said Nick. "If you hadn''t notice idiot I have only knocked them out"I told Nick while pushing him out of the way. I easily subdued them even beat Coulson to the ground though I didn''t hit him too hard,Coulson was such an underrated hero. Nick''s boss was a Skrull he was the one to order that we were terrorist or whatever and Nick had joined us. After that we left for Rambeau,the friend of Vers.In a Jet that we found in the US base. After landing I went forward and knocked on the door. "Hello Mrs.Rambeau could we have a few minutes of your time?." She leans out of the door only to see Vers. "Oh Carol,you are alive"saying so she runs forwards and hugs Vers while sobbing. A young girl also comes out and on seeing Vers runs towards her and hugs her saying aunt Carol. Wait a minute,Carol,Skrulls and Kree oh shit!! She''s Captain Marvel. 52 51-The Truth We went inside the house,I found a chair and sat down on it processing what all had happened,while Carol kept asking questions.Nick saw me sitting dazed and asked "You okay?" "Ya I am fine just need to think a little"I replied. Carol Danvers,the second Captain Marvel in the comics if I am right,Mar-Vell of the Kree was the first so where is he?did he die or what?MCU didn''t have a Captain Marvel at least not to my knowledge.This AU is definitely interesting. After some time we all sat for dinner I was the one to break the icebreaker "So you were human before"I asked Carol "Yes"she replied. "And you don''t remember anything about it?"I asked. "No I only get flashes of the past,just some pieces."she replied. "Well enjoy it while you can, it''s not every day you get to know that you were an human abducted by aliens who erased your memories,Did they perform any experiments on you?"I asked trying to lighten the mood. "No"Carol replied pretty pissed at my question. "So why were you fighting the Skrulls?What did they do?"Nick asked her. "They just told us that Skrulls were responsible for killing a lot of people and it was our job to stop them"Carol replied. I intervened here"They lied to you"All eyes turned towards me"Skrulls are refugees who have been running away from the Kree for decades" "And how do you know that?"Nick asked "We were taught about all the current affairs of Nine Realms in Asgard."I replied. "And where is this ''Asgard''"Fury asked "You wouldn''t know"I told Carol,"Well considering that they hide your memory it isn''t a surprise that they would lie to you" Suddenly we were interrupted by a guest,Talos in his Skrull form "Wait a minute I am not here to fight"said Talos.He points towards the door. We looked outside to see Monica(Rambeau''s daughter) surrounded by 2 Skrulls. "Easy to say that while keeping a hostage."saying so I move forward and grab him by the collar. "I am not really lying I am only here to show you something and not to fight.I had to have some leverage after the both of you beat my men senseless in the last couple of days"said Talos. "We will listen to you but first let go of Monica"said Carol "Sure"and after some gesturing on Talos'' part Monica comes inside to join us Talos then shows us a Black box recording,the recording of Carol''s last flight with Dr Lawson.So Carol got her powers from the explosion of The Lightspeed Engine.But why is my clone of Tesseract attracted towards her, to come clean,I didn''t join them because it was fun but because as soon as I saw Carol the clone of Tesseract reacted towards her After it finishes Talos says"Lawson was Mar-Vell,she was helping us in using the Lightspeed Engine to leave and find a new home but the Kree found her first and attacked her and took Carol with her.Well what do you know they made Mar-Vell a woman that too one who didn''t even have powers. Talos then asked for our help in finding Lawson''s lab and the Lightspeed engine so that they can find a new home. 53 52-Figh Carol being the good person immediately accepted to help them but I on the other hand was not interested,why should we help them it''s not our problem,we should just go and fight the Kree.Well I have so much time to spare let''s just go,It will not be worth it to fight Carol on this. As we were preparing to leave I asked Carol "How did you get you powers Carol,all that was recorded in the black box don''t explain how did you get the powers?" She looked at me try to determine whether she should tell me or not "When the lightspeed engine exploded I was too close to it, instead of killing me it made changes to my body,making me like this." "Well getting powers from an explosion definitely sounds better than dying." Carol,Skrulls and I made changes to the jet so that it could fly in space and left to find Mar-Vell''s lab. We found Mar-Vell''s lab orbiting Earth once we went inside we found traces of people living in it. We found Skrulls living in there,including Talos'' family,huh so he wasn''t doing it selflessly was he,he just wanted to find his family so selfish. I turned my attention in the centre where I found guess what the Tesseract.Maybe tesseract and I are connected we keep finding each other.So the lightspeed engine is based on Mar-Vell''s understanding of the tesseract now I understand why my clone of Tesseract reacted to Carol,she also has some sort of a copy of the tesseract in here maybe better than mine.But it seems that both of ours copy are different in their own right,my basically does what Tesseract did control over space but here''s gives her power.Need to do more research on that and to find the extent of her powers. Yon-Rogg and the rest of the Kree StarForce found us in the Laboratory. Yon-Rogg looked at Carol and said "Fraternizing with the enemy.What did you do to your uniform?" "You can see they''re not soldiers.Let them go.You can have me."Carol said. Why is she so afraid of them,I can pretty much beat them to the ground with one hand.Well let''s just see what happens "I made you a better version of yourself.What''s given can be taken away."said Yon-Rogg I intervened here "I think you are wrong at that point,neither YOU nor your supreme intelligence gave her this power."I told them while looking him in the eye with no fear. "We have no quarrels with you Asgardian leave and we will forget that you were here."said Yon-Rogg "You involved me in this quarrel when you abducted a human from Earth so now tell me are we going to fight or just talk."saying so I acted first and started to attack them. "Take the kids and go to safety"I yelled to Talos'' while fight Yon-Rogg and Minn-Erva.Carol was Fighting with Korath while Nick and Rombeau along with Talos took the tesseract and the Skrulls to safety. 54 53-Kree Defeated It took me one minute to defeat and throw Yon-Rogg and Minn-Erva in the corner.I then looked at Carol fighting Korath.I could see that something was holding back her power.There was a device just behind her ear which would glow whenever she tried to charge her power,must have been placed by the Kree to limit her powers and keep her in control. I then went forward and punched Korath straight in the chest to send him flying.Carol looked at me strangely "Why didn''t you do that before."she inquired of me while gasping for breath. "Was enjoying the view."I said giving a smile."By the way I think we have a problem." "What?"she asked. "Do you know that you have a device at the back of your ear"I asked "Yes,I know,I was told that it was there to help me with my nightmares,but after what happened I don''t know what''s it for." "Well what it is for is to keep your powers in check, probably so that you don''t become a problem to the Kree". I went forward and grapped it and then yanked it out.Few droplets of blood fell,I collected them(need to satisfy my inner scientist) while Carol shouted in pain but then regained her composure. "That stung"she said. "Well how do you feel?"I asked her. She glows her hands but this time her eyes and hair glow too. "Powerful"was what she replied "Well you certainly look the part."Pointing towards our captives "what do we do about them." "We send them back,as a sign that if they come back to fight us we will defeat them again and again."said Carol. How the hell would this work,damn marvel heroes who only think that good exist in people we need a permanent solution for them. "No,that wouldn''t be a permanent solution,of what I know about the Kree they would just send more and more people after you till they get the Skrulls,we need to send them a strong message."I told her."Is there a way to contact the Supreme Intelligence?" "It would be there in their ship."replied Carol After locking up the Kree and making sure that the Skrulls were safe we made our way to the Kree ship. I connected myself to talk to the supreme intelligence.It looked like Tyr to me. "So making use of the person memory and using the form of the person he respects the most so as to coax them into accepting your words,nice thinking but it won''t work on me."I told it. "Asgardian you have no business in interfering in our work and our war with Skrulls leave and we would forget about you."It yelled. Even I in my most powerful voice,a voice filled with authority replied "I don''t have to answer to You,You keep forgetting that Midgard is under the protection of Asgard and you involved us the very moment you kidnapped a mortal and made her your slave."I yelled back "And what would happen if we attack you and the girl right now,you don''t have any backup with you do you?"It instigated me. "Do you think you Kree can handle declaring war on Asgards?"I said that in a mocking tone. Offended at that It replied"Who says anything about fighting Asgard,we would just kill you and be done with it.I don''t think that Odin will declare war on us just due to the loss of one life." It got me there,I knew that Odin would not go to war with Kree due to my life though Tyr might start a fight. "But what if that person is the apprentice of Tyr,the son of Odin.I am pretty sure that he would make a move on you." Looking at the look on It''s face I knew I had won.The Kree were afraid of Odin.Taking my chance I declared "You Kree are going to leave and leave Earth and The Skrulls alone and I command you to do so under the authority of Odin,The AllFather." "Very well Asgardian we will leave but remember we won''t forget this shame"and It forcefully ceased our connection. 55 54-Captain Marvel Ends Wasn''t Supreme Intelligence being too cocky,and want did it mean by that it will remember,I will make sure that he remembers.When we were going back I picked up the members of Kree StarForce and accidentally broke their limbs while throwing them back in their ship. The Skrulls thanked Carol and me for saving their kind.I saw Goose going for Fury''s eye,I with great speed held her paw. "Thanks, otherwise it would definitely have scratched by eye"said Fury to me. "No problem"Turning towards Talos I asked "what now, y''all going to stay on Earth or going somewhere?" "I think we will stay on Earth for a few days gathering all the supplies and then we will leave to find a new home.I think that would be easy for us now that the Kree are not after us"replied Talos,while getting nods from all the Skrulls near him. "And what about you?"I asked turning towards Carol."What''s your plan now that the Kree have gone back." "Well honestly I don''t know,I think I should leave with Skrulls so as to help them in finding a new home wanna join?"asked Carol. "Nah,I am happy here on Earth already travelled a lot in my past,want to settle in a single place for now ."I replied Few days later The Skrulls had everything the needed for travels,Nick,Monica,Rombeau,and I were here to bid goodbye to the Skrulls and Carol. "So you really leaving huh?"I asked her. "Yes"she replied. "You know you don''t have to leave,you can stay with us,you have a family here too."Rombeau told Carol . "I know but I need to help them find a new home to make my conscience clean,I hope you understand."replied Carol She then turns towards Monica and tells her how she would miss her and then towards Fury who right now has both his eyes.She hands over a modified pager to Fury and tells him"For emergency only." She then comes towards me "I would have given one to you too but I think you wouldn''t need it"She said. "You know me so well"I then gave her a light hug"And you know this if you need my help then you could always rely on me."Saying so I hand over her a bracelet."Just pull the beads of the bracelet and I will get a ping of your position" "I just gave one distress signal sender to Fury and now you are giving one to me,Life does come full circle does it not?"she said that laughingly. I turn towards Talos "Well I wish you best of luck on your journey" "They don''t need luck they have me"saying so Carol flies away. "Well I hope to see you all soon but not too soon" With this Carol and the Skrulls leave.I drive Monica and Rombeau back home.After dropping them Nick,Goose and I were the only one left "So what are your thoughts about joining an organization to safeguard Earth from Earth?"Nick asked me. "You got that idea seeing Carol and Me fight?" "Yeah" "Well then I think you should call it "Avengers" should you? It''s got a nice ring to it and it would honor her too." "Nice name for it,so you ready to join?"asked Nick "Nah,I like my freedom too much and just an advice you should be careful alongside Goose she has could literally eat anything and everything"saying so I left leaving Nick thinking about my suggestions. Well if the Avengers are still formed then I was the one to name them,now that''s an achievement not everyone gets. 56 55-Back to Kamar-Taj I am in my cave in Himalayas, currently looking at different vials of blood in front of me.All these belong to Steve,Bucky,and Carol.Steve''s blood is the most fascinating especially considering his before and after blood,the difference is huge it''s like all the cells in his body started to radiate vitality.But how is this possible,for doing such a thing it would need energy,that to lots of it.The energy must come from somewhere. I went into my battle mode to take a look at the blood as it would help me in identifying it.And don''t worry I had already enchanted the cave the same way Odin did,to hide my mana from the outside world.I took a look at the blood again and what I saw shocked me.There was mana coming towards the blood, probably being drawn from a dimension.I only have conjecture right now,but I think that Eskrine was a magician,he must have tried to merge science and magic to develop the human body.That is the missing element isn''t it,magic,Everytime that people tried to replicate his serum they failed cause they only looked at it through the perspective of a scientist.There was always a fatal flaw with almost all of the super soldier serum created cause the all lacked the secret sauce Magic.Got to ask Ancient One about Eskrine later on when I see her. Now onto my next task which I had been stalling for a long time.What does my Domian do?I know that my domain is of Samsara,the cycle of death and rebirth pretty much like the Phoenix but how to control it,what power does it gives me?I spent the next decade trying to figure out the extent of my domain. After all these years the most I could do with my domain was to bring back dead plants to life.I tried it with animals but it didn''t work.Something just stopped them Midway in coming back alive.Well I would have to work on it for later on. I then decided to travel to Kamar-Taj to talk with Ancient One about Eskrine.Kamar-Taj still looked the same as it did years before.I went and requested for an audience with the Ancient One. She was having tea when I entered. "It''s good to see you again Mr Vali but I thought that you would have left Earth by now,Tea?" I gestured her to pour some for me. "The thought of leaving never really struck me though I did have opportunity to leave but somehow I couldn''t get my mind off Earth." "I remember Ms.Danvers asking you to go with her but you didn''t.I found it strange that you would decide to stay on a boring planet like Earth." "Earth is not boring in any sense,I think it''s fun to be on Earth and look at how these people change and make changes to the thing around them,developing so much over time, It''s good to see this change and I would like to witness the change.Asgard has stagnated with time." "Very well it''s your choice to stay here,but I think you didn''t come here to talk to me about this did you?" "Oh yes,I have a question did you ever teach a person named Abraham Eskrine?" "Oh yes long ago maybe at the start of the 20th century.He had a sharp mind and wanted to study on human body enhancement using magic though to my knowledge he didn''t succeed when he was here."she said "He did succeed in the end,just before he died he did succeed in achieving his goal."I told her. 57 56-Welcome to Wakanda "It''s good to hear that he did but how did he die?" Huh even the Ancient One in her infinite wisdom don''t know everything. "He was shot by a Hydra agent as soon as his experiment was successful." "Well it''s a pity to hear that,but at least he succeed to achieve his dream." Well at least my conjecture was correct Eskrine was a magician,this really answers so many questions. I showed her the blood droplet of Steve "So did he connect to A dimension for vitality and strength.This drop of blood is receiving energy from some dimension." "Maybe,I have no idea which dimension he would have connected to.But you know alot about Dimensional Energy do you practice magic Mr.Vali". "I have dabbled in the arts of sorcery but not too much all that I have is surface knowledge."I told her. "So now what''s your plan?" "I don''t know maybe I will just stay here and pass my time,maybe teach your students some hand to hand fight skills." "Well I would appreciate if you don''t do that,we don''t fight much hand to hand here." After having a delicious cup of tea,I bid her adieu. Well I really have nothing to do for now till the canon starts. Let''s go to Wakanda.I have to give Eitri some vibranium too.I left Kamar-Taj for Africa. All I knew about the location of Wakanda was that it was somewhere in East Africa and that is a pretty large area,good thing I have time to go through that area.I have been looking for Wakanda for the last few days.But haven''t found it yet,though I was able to hear some rumours of a futuristic city somewhere towards the south from where I am. After a few more days I finally found Wakanda,or the edge of it.I saw something of a forcefield,when I threw a rock through it passed through but when I tried to it electrocuted me, though that didn''t have any effect on me but a normal mortal would have been knocked out. Suddenly I was surrounded by Wankandian forces.All most all of them were shocked to see me standing grinning. "hello,I am here to meet you King T''Chaka"I tell them. They talked amongst themselves in there in native language thinking that I can''t understand them but they were so wrong,we Asgardian can understand and speak any language of the nine realm. They were discussing about what to do with me,some of them were saying that they were confused to see me awake and finally they decided to do what I said take me to T''Chaka. 58 57-Kidnapping the King I was taken to a throne room,on the way I say Wakanda in all it''s glory.Wakanda is very different from all the other countries on Earth,it is too modern if I have to say, it''s so technologically advanced that it puts every other countries on Earth to shame. In the throne room,I saw T''Chaka sitting on his throne,with the Elders on his side.I even saw a young T''Challa with Shuri on the back. "You stand before T''CHAKA the King of Wakanda,kneel and pay your Respect."shouted well someone. "I don''t knell" but I did give a slight bow to show my respect. "Stranger you come from far to talk to me even calling me by my name even surviving the electrocution by the forcefield which should have knocked out people cold, tell me what do you seek"T''Chakawas weary of me, sitting on the throne tensed ready to pounce if I even flinched maybe it was his Panther senses or sixth sense telling him that I was dangerous. "Well to be honest I am here to ask you for Vibranium."I replied honestly. T''Chaka and everyone''s eyes narrorwed at my request.Suddenly the atmosphere in the room became quite tensed. "And why do you think that we would hand over some of our most precious resource to you,a stranger?"T''Chaka asked. "Well because I said please."Everyone expression at this moment was like they had seen a mad man.But then I continued. "That was just for fun,you would give me some vibranium because then I will owe you a favor,a favor which you could cash in with me anytime."I. replied. T''Chaka still tensed asked me"Why do you think that we would need a favor from you and you would be able to complete it?" "Well owning a favor from a God for just some vibranium does sound a good deal to me." This gets a laugh from the surrounding people who now literally though that I was mad. "Forgive me it''s seems like I have been rude to not introduce myself,I am VALI ASMUND,GOD OF SAMSARA."the ground starts to shake with my proclamation.And there I stood wearing my Asgardian clothes with my Gauntlet in full view. The people in the room steadied themselves while I teleported near T''Chaka and took him with me. The throne room descended in chaos as the people realized that their King has been abducted,some were still reeling in shock of what happened,how could a person claiming to be a God just come in and leave with their King while being still under their watch. Ramonda was the first to react "Dora Miljae get ready we need to find our King."saying so she left while Shuri and T''Challa followed her. Shuri in a scared voice asked Ramonda "Mother we will find Father, wouldn''t we?" "We will"T''Challa ensured her. "Don''t worry your Father can handle tough situations like these."Ramonda replied. 59 58-Relax T''Chaka pounced on me the moment the teleportation was complete.He tried to scratch me,well that''s to be expected he is the black panther though I have to give credit to him,he regained his bearing very fast, normally when a person teleports for the first time it takes a lot to take it in. I catch a hold of his hand. "Hey clam down,I am not here to fight" "You kidnap me and say that you are not here to fight.?"He tries to attack me again but I hold him off. "Enough,I just wanted to talk to you privately that why I brought you here and look over there"I point towards left"We are just outside of Wakanda,I could have taken you anywhere but I brought you here just so to make it clear that you are not my hostage." That calms him down and I sat down patting the ground as a sign to have him sit but he doesn''t "Speak what do you want to say." Actually I didn''t have anything to say to him, bringing him here was just a power move from my side to show who was in charge of the conversation and how I could have gone in and taken the vibranium without them finding out. "You all have worked very hard and smart in using vibranium to their fullest potential.It''s nice to see mortal develop so much,but why don''t you share this with the outside world,I have travelled the Earth but no place is as advance as this." T''Chaka looked me in the eyes and answered me truthfully "I don''t think they are ready for it,the outside world is fighting and fighting every time,with the weapons that we have it would only escalate if we share them,my Brother had the same view but he too didn''t understood how many lives would be lost as compared to the one''s that would be saved." "Beer?"I said while handing him a can. "What?" "Here have a beer it''s helps in giving some relief,I just asked a small question and you gave such a serious answer."T''Chaka took the can and joined me in drinking it while sitting down. "Ain''t afraid that I poisoned it?" "If you are really a God and can teleport that you don''t need to rely on petty tricks like that to kill me." "Well you are right about that."Both of us having beer watching the Sun. "Why didn''t you just take away the Vibranium,you could have came it and taken it and no one would have known." "Well I am not a thief and I am a God so have to keep up that image can''t be known as a God who steals imagine what it would do to my image." "So don''t you have big responsibility?watching over humans?" "We don''t do that,we don''t care about what happens in your life but yeah if there is something big threatening Earth then we do come look at it." "Must be nice not having responsibility." "Oh it is,you look like you are burdened by responsibility,sometimes just having a can of beer while sitting watching the sunset feels like bliss doesn''t it?" "It does." "Well here"I conjure a coin"Keep this,in exchange of some vibranium here it is,I owe you a favor,rub the coin and I will be there for you." "Ok"We just sat there for a while. "Looks like your people are here." 60 59-Back in Wakanda Jets and people start to come towards where T''Chaka we''re sitting. "Get away from our King"said the voice coming out of the jet. I was surrounded by a lot of warriors from Wakanda while T''Chaka sat their holding his laughter. "You gonna just sit there and watch."I asked T''Chaka "Stay down everyone he''s not an enemy."T''Chaka said. That made them lower their weapons but they still looked at me with hostility. "Why look at me like that I just talked privately with your King,I did kill your Father."that joke didn''t help even a bit, instead they looked at me with more hostility. "Come on let''s get in the Jet and go back."T''Chaka told me. "Why do we need to go so slow.Heads up all of you we will meet you back at Wakanda"saying so I placed my hand on T''Chaka''s shoulder and teleported back to the Throne room. "Could you teach me that,it really makes travelling easy."said T''Chaka when we reached the Throne Room. "Sure,if that''s how you wanna cash in your favor."I said with a cheeky grin. "Well I think I will have to pass on that."he said. We then travelled to the inner parts of his palace no where near the Asgardian Palace but still better than many places on Earth. We reach inside to see Ramonda tensed along with Shuri and T''Challa both sitting alongside her.Shuri was the first to notice us and comes running towards T''Chaka and hugs him. "Dad!!"she cried"You are okay we were so tensed." "Shush Shush my dear I am okay see."replied T''Chaka consoling her. Ramonda and T''Challa came forward and I can tell you if looks could kill I would have already died a couple dozens of time. "You are okay my love?"Ramonda asked. "Yes dear, don''t worry"T''Chakka said while placing one hand on T''Challa''s shoulder and saying "Take what happened right now as an exercize,one day you would be the King and have to handle situations everyday." T''Challa nods while asking "Why did he take you?And is he lying?" "He just wanted to have a conversation with me in private and No,he is not lying I thought that would have been clear after what he did in the Throne room earlier." "Hey I am standing right here if you forgot,you could ask me the same questions."I said while feeling bad being ignored. "I forgot for a second Vali that you were there."T''Chaka said. "Attendants get this man a room"Then he turns towards me"I will meet with you later to complete our trade ok?$ "Yes" 61 60-Roaming So I was given a room to stay but I got bored and started to roam around the place.I have to say even though Wakanda was too advanced the people had not forgetten their roots.They were still use to the old lifestyle not relying on modern technology unless they were necessary.I remember that there were different tribes in Wakanda.Though they were united under a single ruler,The Black Panther,but I didn''t like the fact that they don''t have democracy to choose their leader and have to rely on the older method of the survival of the fittest.Well I can''t change and fix everything.While I was walking I heard a voice from behind me. "You shouldn''t be here." I turned around to see a little Shuri. "Father had send you to your room.You should have taken permission from him before coming out."she said. "I thing you misunderstood something kid,I am a guest not a hostage of your Father and no one including your father can stop me from roaming if I want to."I told her. That intimidatednher a little but she tried her best to not show any fear. "Why did you take my Father with you?" "Well I just wanted to talk with him privately and in my defense I brought him back untouched."I replied in my defense. "Chocolate?"I asked her suddenly "What?" I hand her a big chocolate bar.And anyone wondering about from where in always get the things is that I have a small pouch which I carry and using the clone of Tesseract I have connected it to a pocket dimension where I store things.The reason I created a pocket dimension using Tesseract and not create a pouch with infinite space is that with the infinite space pouch,if I lose it all the things are gone but if I lose this pouch that I have now,I could still access the pocket dimension using the Tesseract the pouch is just there was convenience like a door. "Come on let''s go back to you Mother,she would be worried about you" I told her while I held one of her hand while she had the chocolate bar in the other. We made way to Ramonda''s room while I asked her questions about Wakanda, Children are really gullible. "Shuri! what are you doing with him?"Ramonda shouted and yanked Shuri away from me. "Don''t worry ma''am contrary to your belief I am not here for a fight."I assured her. "You kidnapped my husband the very first time we saw you,and I don''t care what he says about you I will judge you as I see fit."She said. "Well then judge me ,I don''t care,bye Shuri"saying so I left. 62 61-Goodbye The next day I met T''Chaka to complete our transaction. "I hope you liked what you saw in Wakanda."said T''Chaka. "It''s a good place not as impressive as the place I come from but a good one for Mortals."I told him. "You never did tell me where you come from?" "Asgard it''s out there in space?" "You are an alien?" "Ya,I though it was understandable when I said I am a God." "Wait are all God''s alien?" "Pretty much,though mortals can achieve Godhood it''s difficult for you even your Bast God is an alien they came to Earth after we Asgardian had left." "What?How do you know about Bast"T''Chaka looking at me shocked as I had said her name. "Well you didn''t think that I won''t notice that you are a vassal of Bast,she gives you enchanced ability beyond a normal mortal and in return you give her the faith of your people,an equivalent exchange." "Wait it all that you are saying true?" "Yes,why would I lie?"I say this why looking at him. "I didn''t know anything about the faith or any deal,I just thought that Bast looked over us because of her benevolence."T''Chaka looked as if his world view was crumbling. "Well I guess you wouldn''t know cause the deal would have been made by you ancestors and they might have not been able to tell you,"I tried to console him. "Yes,it must have been like that,but tell me will it cause a problem for my people giving their faith to Bast?"T''Chaka asked with a worried look,he really cares about his people. "No it wouldn''t cause him anything they will be fine." "That''s good."he said with a relieved expression. "So let''s go get the Vibranium ok?" "Yes yes let''s go." After that he fetched and brought me some Vibranium and we talked for a while after which I told him that I will be leaving "You sure I can''t convince you to stay here?"asked T''Chaka "No,I think I have overstayed my welcome here,even though everyone knows we just had some talks alone,the people look at me like they want to kill me." T''Chaka laughed at this. "Well have a nice journey.Where ever you are going." "Oh I will and remember just rub the coin and I will be there to do the favor.ok." Saying so I teleported to my cave back in the Himalayas. Well now that I have Vibranium I could get some beer and be off to Nidaveller and complete my promise to them.To complete one promise I had to give a favor if this cycle continues then I will always owe someone(sigh) 63 62-Back to Nidaveller So i am back at my lair in the Himalayas,it looks exactly as I left it.So I have planned on going to Nidaveller to finally get the promise on my chest but before I go I had to collect some good beer.So I just did that it would be a good gift,I had collected barrels and barrels of beer. With all my preparations done I proceeded to teleport myself to Nidaveller. "Hello everyone how are you?"I shouted just outside there gate. One of the dwarves looked out and on seeing me said "Oh Vali it''s you come on in." I followed him while making small talk. "So how''s everything here?"I asked "It''s ok same old same old though we have been busy making a few weapons for Asgard." "Oh Asgard has asked for weapons?" "Yes,they always do so every other century to make sure of the quality of their weapons.So why are you back huh,missed us.?" "yes,I missed this place some bit but I am here to complete the promise I made to Eitri to give him the metal I promised." "Oh,nice I hope that metal is something good." "Oh don''t worry it will be"saying so he lead me to meet Eitri. "My King I have brought Vali Asmund with me"The Dwarf shouted and then left. I saw Eitri come out drinking and looking absolutely hammered. "Oh Vali nice to see you again (burp)So what you here for?" "I came here to complete our deal I brought the metal I told you about." That causes Eitri to raise his eyebrows and then in a sudden way his drunken demeanour in gone and he is in full focus. "Show me the metal Vali" "I hand over the Vibranium to him." He was in shock for a while,he couldn''t identify what the metal was.He hit it a few times,a crude method but one which gives result. "You were honest in telling me that this metal can absorb all types of kinetic energy I need to do more test to find out more of its properties.You wanna join me?"he asked though he didn''t wait for my answer and ran to his forge. I followed behind him,I am not missing a chance to see the best blacksmith in work. "Hey Eirri"I shouted"I have also brought you a very tasty drink from my adventures"I was talking about the beer.But Eitri didn''t pay any attention to me and had his eyes glued on the fancy piece of toy he got. 64 63-Filler Chapter. "Do you know how it was formed and any of its properties?"asked Eitri "I know that it was formed due to a meteorite landing on Midgard,one of the smartest mind of Midgard said that s 1/3rd the weight of steel, giving it a Specific Gravity of 2.6.The people who found it used to become the most advanced people on Midgard"i told him. "They ought to have become just look at the properties of this metal,it literally makes most of the other metals obsolete.If you have this in a large amount then you won''t even need most of the other metal and even then the results would be far better."said Eitri Eitri performed a couple of experiments on the metal and then said"That''s it for today let''s go." I took out some barrels of beer. "Here have this got it on Midgard." He took a sip and then picked up the whole barrel drinking it like it would be stolen. "Kid, that''s the best beer I had, don''t tell the others about it. otherwise they all would be running to Midgard for this,so how much more barrels you got?"asked Eitri "More than you could think of"while I took out morefrom my pouch.Eitri was staring at my pouch and then said "Nice pouch you got there,how did you get it to work so fast the normal magic rune methods requires more time than yours?" "You know about runes?"I asked Eitri,cause honestly I was surprised at him having knowledge of it cause it is a less learnt subject cause of its complexity. "I picked it up while forging though I admit that I am not too good at it,and how do.you think my creations are better than the others,runes they are my secret sauce,but you didn''t answer my questions." "Well now that''s a secret."I said it laughing. "Leave it if you don''t want to say." We made our way back to the rest rooms while having beer. "So how did you come here,asked Heimdall to open the door for you?"he asked "Nah,just teleported outside why?" "You sure kid you should be teleporting considering that the last I heard all the mana you had was in the Gauntlet." "Oh don''t worry about me running out,I have a lot of mana in this bad boy and it''s better to just use it than to let it. stay unused." "Well it''s your mana so your decision" "What about my room is someone using it or its like how I left it?I asked. "Oh it should be the same way you left it"saying so he went his way while I went to the my old room. 65 64-Filler 2 So Eitri worked on the Vibranium to find out it''s property but didn''t leave before asking me for more beer and when I asked what he did with all those I gave him yesterday,he told me that he had finished them already.I have only one word for him,beast a drinking beast. I wished him well and told him that I would leave for Midgard in a while. "Midgard,why do you spend so much time on that primitive place?"asked Eitri "Well they provide quite an entertainment and you always get to see something new over there.What''s the point of being so advanced if you get bored everyday,look at yourself Eitri don''t you feel bored and just spend your day drinking?"I asked him. "Ya I do but comfort is good isn''t it?"Eitri looked at me asking "Comfort is good but if you become too comfortable then you become stagnant and stagnation is not good that''s why I spend my time there to pass it.It''s fun to see what they have in store,they just keep surprising you.Look at he Vibranium in and the beer,they are certainly interesting."I replied "Well you are right about that,maybe I will visit Midgard someday" "Well do somehow camouflage yourself cause they would be pretty scared to see a giant like you." "Huh they should be scared of me."said Eitri while laughing. "Well I can''t say for sure whether they would be scared or not but they definitely would be shocked to learn that you belong to the race of Dwarves."I said while giving a chuckle. "Why?They don''t know that word?" "No,they do.They have stories and legends about dwarves and in each one of them dwarves are represented as short stature individuals."I said that while suppressing my laugh. "What how could they make such false claims,I would wipe them out just because of it"said. Eitri enraged"But since the make such good wine I will just let them be"he took one more sip of his beer. "Well I think I would be leaving."saying so I bid my goodbyes and teleported back to Earth. I teleported back to my lair in Himalayas.Well I think Iron man should be starting soon,do I need to interfere in it cause I don''t find any need to. 66 65-Start of an Era I have been roaming for a while,it was 2008 and i was sure that the events of Iron Man should be starting soon.And i was prepared for that.Imagine my surprise when a few days later i saw the news of Tony Starks kidnapping while getting a hair cut. "Served him good."said the Barber. I was shocked to see this kind of image of Tony infront of the people "Why?"I asked him. "He has been making these weapons of destruction all his life,these weapons do nothing but cause pain.Imagine with all the resources,money and intelligence he has what all he can do but no he is just busy making money and being a wastrel." Well I can''t refute that,Tony was all what the Barber said right now but with time he will change.Well I don''t see anything that i would like to change in the events of Iron Man.So i did the best thing i could do for me,I bought shares of Stark Enterprises, apparently their prize had dropped cause of Tony''s kidnapping.I bought just because i wanted to show off infront of Tony later on and be cheeky,i had no other reason to do so.But imagine my surprise when i saw that someone else was also busy buying,but i outdid him,i was pretty sure it must have been Obadiah so as to become the majority holder.I became one of the major shareholder in Stark Enterprises and arranged for a meeting with Obadiah Stane. Obadiah and i had a meeting in the board room of Stark building. I deliberately arrived late as a power move and saw Obadiah and Pepper waiting for me. "I am so sorry for being late,traffic was crazy.By the way nice to meet both of you."i told them while extending my hand to shake with Obadiah. "Nice to meet you too Mr.Vali,I am Obadiah Stane and this is my assistant Ms. Pepper Potts.And no need for any apologizes.Traffics crazy at this time of the year." I then greeted Pepper and went on to talk with Obadiah. "Forgive me but Mr Vali,i hadn''t heard about your name ever before your purchase of our shares could you tell me about your background"asked Pepper. She''s a sharp one,atleast better than Obadiah in that matter cause she tried to find my background. "Well Ms.Potts,I am usually a silent partner in many businesses and prefer to keep a low key that''s why you must not have heard of me." That answers seemed to satisfy Stane but not Pepper.I changed the subject soon. "So Mr.Stane, let''s get to businesses here,tell me what are your plans to stabilize the share prize which is dropping so fast?" Stane then went on to explain to me how the prizes will be stabilized and he did say one more thing "We are also coming with a special new product later on."boasted Obadiah "Oh what is it and who is developing it?"I was pretty sure it would be something he would have forced Tony to build in his captivity. "Well i won''t tell you much about it cause it''s a secret but look forward to it." With that we talked for a while after which i wished them farewell. {Obadiah POV} Who does he think he is to make me wait for this long, had he not intervened,i would have been the major shareholder right now.I have to think of some way to get rid of him later just like Tony.Speaking of Tony,i must force him to give me something to stabilize the prizes of the share. 67 66-Lets Try So the events of Iron Man are going on but Tony isn''t back yet from his captivity so there should be no iron man armour right now.In the mean time ,I am free,I had nothing to do so I started looking for familiar names. Searched about Stephen Strange first, he was still a doctor not that I had any doubts about it,then I went to look on for some more names specially those that weren''t referred to in MCU.I searched for Charles Xavier and I got some result,he was well know educator who had his school much like in the X-Men movies,but most of his information felt like incomplete like they were necessary withheld,then I looked for Erik Lehnsherr, didn''t find much about him except for small pieces with Magneto name on them that too in passing and the sentences not making much sense, pretty sure that his information is being kept hidden by Shield. Then I searched for mutants,there info was kept hidden and I even found that when I published an article about mutants(a fictional news)then it got deleted automatically very soon,some one is keeping a watch about news related to mutants and getting rid of it the moment he finds it, probably some branch of the government. Well atleast now I know that they exist so maybe let''s visit them later and see how they fare over here.Well I should go and visit Beyonder,it has been long since last did.So I went back to my cave in Himalayas and went into meditation. "Yo"I said as soon as I saw the white light across me. "Hey,Long time no see"said Beyonder "Well, yeah,though I like what you did to this place."The place looked different now, Instead of being just a pure white landscape with nothing in it,it now had furniture,sofa bed and chair with even a fireplace. "Well I did look at your memory and realised how like a savage I lived .So went you left I decided to upgrade my standard of living and here we are." "Well got to give it to you it looks nice now,Cozy"I told him. "Want to look at an interesting place I visited recently".I could see stars in his eyes when I said so. "Yes,yes"he said giddy with excitement,it sucks that only piece of interaction he has with anyone is with me only. And then I showed him my memories of Earth,all the while from world war till now. After watching the memories instead of being excited like he used to be,he was serious this time and after a few moments asked me. "Why do people fight?Why can''t they just talk and settle there dispute?" "Well that''s a question no one has answer to,people mainly fight because they want more, it''s mainly due to greed, it''s difficult to satisfy it." He listened to my answer but didn''t seemed much convinced. "So did you like what all you saw?"I asked him to break the ice. "Yeah,good to see more people and what all they have made when they are so weak and fragile.By the way what is that shiny thing inside of you now."said Beyonder laughing and then extended his arm to pull out the copy of tesseract out of me. "Oh,that''s a copy of the space stone from my dimension."I told him. "Hey,maybe I could use this to bring you to my world"I said pondering over this idea as it should be possible Beyonder became giddy at this idea"oh yes,let''s try it." 68 67-Meeting a Fighter Well things didn''t work out.I couldn''t open a portal back to my home.The tesseract was nothing more than a stone in Beyonder''s universe. "What happened?"seeing me looking remorseful Beyonder asked. "It didn''t work..."I said. Beyonder looked sad and at that moment I realised the reason why it didn''t worked.Infinity stones don''t work in reality other than the one they belong in it. I looked at him to see that he was sad. "Don''t worry someday I will find a way to bring you to my world."I tried to console him. "You promise?"he asked me with an emotion filled voice with big tear filled eyes. How can I say no to that. "Yeah I will."But I knew at this moment that this promise is going to come back and bite me later. I stayed with him for a while and let me tell you Beyonder is not one to lose at a pinball game. I came back after days of sorely losing at pinball.After coming back I found that events of Iron Man had already finished.Obadiah dead and Tony already outted himself as Iron Man. So I found no way to pass my time so I started a journey around the world once again.I had bought more shares of Stark Enterprises as I had already entrusted my agent to buy share as soon as there is a big drop.Suffice to say I was the 2nd largest share holder now after Stark 69 68-Spar "So why are you in China?Business or pleasure?"asked Shang-Chi "No business,I am here only for travelling,you any place that serve good hot pot?Read somewhere that people should try it if they are in China."I asked. "Well,I do know a place". replied Shang-Chi. And so Shang-Chi and I were sitting eating hot pot.While talking I deliberately pushed a cup down the table,which Shang-Chi caught easily.He then looked at me and said "Why test me?"with a raised eyebrow."I know that you are powerful,I can see that in your eye."he told me "Well it was certainly a sight to see one man alone beat thugs so easily just wanted to see if what k saw was true"I said while still focussing on my hot pot,it was quite good. "What do you say we go out and have a friendly spar?"I asked him. "On one condition the loser pays the bills for the other person''s dinner"Shang replied completely into that idea. We finished and left to fight.After finding a secluded area we both took are stance and then throw a handkerchief in the air and as soon as it landed we started to fight. Shang-Chi stood there waiting for me to do the first move,I obliged and ran towards him throwing barrages of punches at him,keep in mind that I had limited my strength cause I don''t want to kill Shang-Chi cause even a punch at my quarter of a power can kill him 70 69- One Punch Man I am back in America right now,after spending almost all the money Shang-Chi had,and still not being satisfied eating we settled on the condition that he owes me a favor as a repayment of the bet. The Events of Iron Man have finished,I came back to find that Tony Stark had outed himself as Iron Man,resulting in the price of my stocks of Stark Industries skyrocketing.It was good to see that, call me greedy but it''s always nice to have more money. Few days later I was just walking on the streets of New York when the news of a might creature an abomination wreaking havoc on the steets of Harlem came on the television.So looks like the event of Incredible Hulk are going on.Good thing I had already prepared my costume for this. I had made my costume just like the Sentry in the comics , I just loved his character. I immediately flew to Harlem,yes flew not teleport cause I am sure that Shield will go through all the footage surrounding the incident and I don''t want my teleporting powers be caught. I reached Harlem to see Blonsky , The Abomination wreaking havoc while Hulk was fighting him.These guys were totally oblivious to all the damage they were causing,too many building destroyed and people stuck in the rubble. First and foremost instead of running to fight Abomination as many people would have done , I went forward to help the people , the police and other aid had not arrived yet maybe they were rushing here but none had reached here except for some military soldier that Ross had brought here with him. After a few minutes of quick work of getting people out of the rubble and getting others to help them I left to fight Abomination.Abomination notice me walking toward him while laughing clearly amused to see a small person coming toward him unafraid.He had just smashed Hulk far away maybe this gave him confidence.I walked towards him without any rush and he wasn''t even worried and then I punched him , he allowed me to punch him clearly confident and unaware of my abilities , idiot him . Abomination was flung away due to the strength of my punch , shock and pain was made clear to me by the look in his eyes.Before he could fly and smash more buildings I ran behind him and catched him , he tried to struggle free but couldn''t. I held him and flew a bit in the air , Hulk came running back in this moment and stopped just to see me holding Abomination with ease.Shock was evident in Hulk eyes. "Don''t worry , I got this."I said to Hulk. I don''t know whether he understood it but without a care I knocked Abomination out , well I am clearly above Abomination in power but I don''t know about Hulk , in comics he got more powerful the more angry he got so let''s leave that thought for the future. After knocking Abomination out I heard sirens coming towards us , government bodies are always late to these types of incidents.I turned towards Hulk and said "I think you should leave , they won''t be happy to see you there." Hulk looked at me like he understood but was still shocked with what I had did and with what I think was a nod , he jumped and left. So here I was with the body of Abomination at my feet and law enforcement coming towards me.I wasn''t interested in accompanying the law enforcement so with how much time I had , I helped people and cleared a few areas before flying away. 71 70-To Mexico Well I went home after all this and turned on the news the next day to see this being reported. "Yesterday we saw two massively powerful beings fighting here in the Harlem causimg lot of destruction and loss of life until one person came here and single handedly stopped them. We are still trying to get some identification of the man, but wherever you are and whoever you are, this is from everyone over here we thank you for help in protecting us all. This is Anna Hall for Channel 11 signing off." Well best of luck to them in identifying me, I think only Fury will be able to recognize me.The same day, I left for Mexico. I had already felt the Bifrost fluctuations before I was just waiting for the events of The Incredible Hulk to happen so that people know my strength and don''t underestimate me. Mexico is a nice place don''t know why in all the American movies and shows it is shown in a yellowish tint. It was quite easy to find the place where Mjolnir landed, apparently it was the talk of the Town though now SHIELD had taken over that area. I went forward to see the place. I sneaked into the SHIELD facility easily, knowing how to become invisible certainly helps. And now infront me laid Mjolnir the weapon of Thor, made out of Uru almost one of a kind. I was impressed to see the runes on it. Odin really went all out on them, I recognized all of them and Odin had not only placed the runes of worthiness no no he had placed other''s too. A person who is worthy can only lift it is only the first condition that needs to be satisfied, he should also be willing to use it to fight, to protect and most of all be ready to sacrifice himself pretty much sums up why Steve was able to atleast shake it in AoU. Should I try to lift it? well fuck it lets try. I went forward to pick it up only to find that I couldn''t, I wasn''t worthy well it quite figured cause I ain''t dying for anyone else, I got a chance to be in marvel universe why would I sacrifice myself and let it go. I could probably remove all the runes and take it with me but that would alert Odin cause he also placed a tracker spell on it, if anyone lifts it, it would alert Odin immediately. Smart of him to do that and I could remove it but it would require me to use a lot of Mana, which would probably alert the Ancient One putting her after me and considering how strong she is especially if she decides to use the time stone I wouldn''t even stand a chance. So I just left after a while of staring at Mjolnir. Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting. Well let''s just go and take a look at Thor, It would be fun to see how the mighty have fallen. {Two days Before in Asgard} "Thor Odinson... you have betrayed the express command of your king. Through your arrogance and stupidity, you''ve opened these peaceful realms and innocent lives to the horror and desolation of war! You are unworthy of these realms, you''re unworthy of your title, you''re unworthy... of the loved ones you have betrayed! I now take from you your power! In the name of my father and his father before, I, Odin Allfather, cast you out!"Odin declares and pushes Thor in the Bifrost along with Mjolnir after placing runes on it. Odin went back to his palace thinking "I have done all I could my son, I hope you don''t hate me, but I am just too powerless against them. I hope sending you there would help in you breaking through these chains of fate. And He might just help you in that." 72 71-Punching Thor It was easy finding Thor in the town, I was pretty sure I found him before he went at the fighting spree with the SHIELD agents to get back his hammer not knowing that he was not worthy. Thor spotted me. I waved at him. Thor shakes his head, maybe shocked to see me and wanted to confirm whether he was hallucinating or not. I wonder why would he think of me as an hallucinating though. After making sure I was there Thor runs towards me and takes me in a big hug. "Vali, it''s been so many years since I last saw you. You got to help me Vali, I am trapped here on this realm as AllFather exiled me here."said Thor in a quick pace though he was clearly elated to see a familiar face. I saw Jane, Darcy and Selvig coming and approaching us. "Who is your handsome friend over there?" asked Darcy. "Thanks for the compliment."I said while extending my hand to shake with all of them. "My name is Vali Asmund, nice to meet you all and thank you all for taking care of my friend." I told them. "So are you crazy like him too?Take part in his dilusions?"asked Selvig "Oh let me assure you what all he says is not merely his dilusions" I said so with a smile. Thor interjecting said "Vali you have to help me get back, I have found out that Mjolnir is close by I am going to get it back and go home."

"May I ask why were you exiled?"I asked of Thor "Of course, I alongside the Warriors Three, Sif and Loki went to Jotunheim to destroy the Frost Giant, they have had our mercy for long. You should have been there with us it was glorious." said Thor. "So AllFather exiled you because you went forward to destroy a whole race." said to while thinking that Thor is totally a musclehead without any brain, he went on to go to destroy a whole race and doesn''t feel any remorse for it. Chris Hemsworth charm saved him in the movie but in real you will realize that he is a musclehead who doesn''t have a brain. "Yes, I don''t know why he is so mad, he did that too in his youth, but forget all that let''s go and get my Mjolnir back." saying so Thor pats my back. "No." I said. "What?" Thor asked clearly surprised. "No, I won''t be helping you, you don''t see any remorse in actions do you? you just went forward to destroy an entire race without thinking, are you mad or what?"I barked at Thor "It''s jealousy isn''t, you have always been jealous of me, even challenging me back then, well guess what you won''t ever able to defeat me." said Thor. "Oh now you have made me angry." saying so I punched Thor sending him flying away. Jane sees that and runs to help him. Darcy and Erik looked completely shocked. While I left leaving Thor on the ground cause if I would have stayed then he would have had a few broken bones. Who the hell does he think he is, me being jealous of him please like I don''t have anything else to do but waste my time being jealous. (Meanwhile with Thor) Thor picks himself up while his body ached "Are you okay?" asked Jean clearly concerned. "I will be once I get my Mjolnir back." Thor picks himself up and starts moving towards the SHIELD encampment while clearly being angry at how weak he was right now. 73 72-Barging In I watched as Thor barged into SHIELD encampment, completely not deterred by the number of people in his way and without any plan. I took a deep sigh he really has only dumbbell for brains. I loved to see the moment when Thor was shocked to realise that he couldn''t even lift his hammer.HA Ha Ha, how do you feel now dumbass. Then everything happened like the movie Thor was taken into the custody and later Loki came to visit him. I stopped his astral form from leaving and went to have a conversation with him. "Who is it who dares to stop me?" yelled Loki. "Shut your mouth Loki." I told him Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting. He took a look at me and recognized me. "Vali, treat me with respect I am your king now."said Loki with voice filled of authority. "What happened to AllFather to make you king?"I asked. "AllFather has fallen asleep, Mother fears he won''t wake up now so I have taken over his responsibility." "And do you mind telling me which idiot choose you to become King before Balder or Tyr? I can believe Tyr was not interested in becoming the King now, but Balder definitely would have taken the responsibility if needed."I asked looking straight into his eyes to see any deceit. Loki moved his eyes not daring to look at mine. Then after a few seconds he said "This is the second time you have disrespected you King, as such I forbid you from ever setting foot on Asgard." "You think you are capable of that? Do you think you are the AllFather? Hell even he can''t stop me from coming to Asgard if I want then who are you? Aren''t you forgetting that I have your astral form bounded right now, you can''t even go back" I yelled at him and then laughed Loki stared at me for a second completely dumfounded at my outburst and the revelation that he can''t go back. "Release me Vali right now, I am your King" "A man who need to say that he is a King is no king at all, don''t worry I will let you go cause I am coming for you and will show you how now one can stop me from doing what I want." Saying so I release Loki who immediately left without wasting a second left. After this since I was in a foul mood, I just walked into the SHIELD encampment to pick Thor up.I practically knocked out anyone who came in my way, well they all were already half tired after receiving the beating from Thor last night so it was too easy right now. I walked into a room where Coulson was interrogating Thor. "Vali?" Thor looked and me and said my name slowly, dejection and defeat visible in his eyes. "You?"Coulson said clearly surprised on seeing me. "I am taking him with me" I told Coulson and took Thor out with me. "Wait, stop! you can''t do this." Yelled Coulson. "Oh yeah who will stop me?" I asked Coulson cheekily. Coulson looked around to see everyone down, and cleary frustrated to see the same thing happen in such a small time. "And you won''t be bothering Thor anymore, if you have any problem then just tell Fury that Vali said so."saying so I left with Thor with me. 74 73-Questions You all must be thinking where I took Thor with me,where except a pub to get some beer. I had to blow off some steam and Thor let''s just say he needed one. After a dozen of glass Thor a bit drunk said "This drink is good." "One of the few things that people on Midgard made better than any place else. So what you going to do now?" I asked. "I don''t know. Maybe just stay here or roam about." replied Thor. "Well that Doctor you met is quite good looking why don''t you stay with her?"I said While taking a sip of my own glass. Thor eyed me for a moment and said "Maybe you are right I could certainly travel with her." Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting. "Come on let''s go then."I stood up and took Thor with me. "Where are we going?"asked Thor "To the Doctor"I said . I knocked on the door of Jane''s house/laboratory. Jane came out clearly a bit sleepy cause it was quite late. She took a look at me and then at Thor and shaked her head to make sure she wasn''t sleeping then she slapped me. "Ouch,Why?"I asked. "You punched Thor and just left" and then she slapped Thor too "And you too, I was so worried about you". "Sorry." said Thor. "Well he deserved that punch." I said while Jane stared at me. "Well still come on in."said Jane. Thor walked in straight while I said "Thank you, cause unlike Thor I have manners." I walked in then and said "You must have a lot of questions Dr. Foster, why don''t you ask." The next half an hour Jane keep asking Thor and me different questions clearly fascinated with all of it and while Thor''s answer were vague and crude in language, mine made science as I talked to them in scientific terms, after a while even Selvig has joined us while Darcy was woken up by the commotion Jane caused whenever we told something to her that she couldn''t believe. "So let me get this straight, you guys are from a place that has handsome and charming men like you?" Darcy asked, while Jane elbows her and stares at her. "Well you could say that, almost all people born on Asgrad are beautiful if compared to Earth''s standard and Thanks for the indirect compliment."I told Darcy winking at her, which got a blush on her face. "Well I think I have answered a lot of questions and need a bit of shut eye so excuse me."I said. "Oh please wait I have a lot of questions still left."said Jane. "Ask Thor he is free."saying so I winked at Thor hoping he would understand my gesture and is not a complete dumbo. I found a couch to crash in and sleep even though I didn''t need it but just to get a break from thebarrage of questions from Selvig and Jane. Don''t get me wrong I was happy to explain to them all the concepts behind the Bifrost and how it worked in simple sense but they can''t just understand it, atleast not right now. Its like teaching a 5th grade average minded kid integration even though he only has the basic knowledge of maths, you can teach him with time but if he keeps asking questions again and again you will get irritated. 75 74-Destroying Destroyer I was still sleeping when there was a big knock on the door and I was woken up by it. Imagine my not so surprise when I saw the Warrior Three and Sif there. Having seen the movie literally spoils all the fun. "What are you all doing here?" Thor asked clearly surprised but happy to see them here. "We are here to take you back." said Volstagg. "Loki has taken over the throne we nees you to come back with us."said Sif. Thor looked confused but then said " I can''t, I am not the same person that I used to be." "Hey, can''t you just keep your voice down, I am sleeping here."I yelled at them. Clearly Sif and The Warrior Three were surprised to see me there. "Why are you even trying to sleep? we don''t need to sleep." said Thor. "Well let''s just think of it as a bad habit I picked up on Midgard, whatever you all continue I am leaving to go somewhere I can sleep." saying so I I teleported out before they could say anything. "Was that Vali?" Sif asked. "Yeah, he came here and found me after I was exiled here." said Thor. Well I left that place not because I need sleep but can''t stop Thor from becoming worthy, if I am there then everyone would expect me to fight the Destroyer and I can pretty much destroy it, do you see the irony over there. Things progressed the same way as in the movie then, Destroyer came pretty much wrecked the Warrior Three and Sif, Jane was smart as she atleast asked where was at that moment. Thor prepared himself for the sacrifice, he went towards the Destroyer asking Loki to kill him but spare his friends and like any marvel fan at this moment I was watching them eating popcorn. And then it happened the Destroyer smacked Thor in the air, I recorded this for viewing later and having fun. Well I think it''s time for my superhero entrance . When all hope was lost, Warrior Three and Sif were beaten and battered and when Thor was lying on the ground broken, I rushed in. "I went to sleep for a while and this is what happens, you all almost dying. Jane take Thor with you. I will take care of this." I said while walking towards Destroyer while wearing my costume. The Destroyer looked at me and then started pouring those fire/eye laser I don''t know what from the holes it had on its head, and while it was happening I felt the vibration of Mjolnir coming toward this place, well so it''s back for its owner. I need to hurry, can''t let Thor have the fame for killing Destroyer. So that''s what I did, I rushed it and punched Destroyer while increasing my strength with magic and energy from the tesseract clone and it was almost blown to smithereens by my second punch. I transported all those pieces to my pocket dimension cause I was sure SHIELD would have taken them for study. This all happen just in the while that Thor regained his power. After a heart to heart with Jane Thor said to me. Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting. "Thank You, Vali for helping everyone but I think it''s time to go to Asgard and deal with Loki." Warrior Three and Sif though a bit battered. Darcy looked at me and said "Damn you look ever more handsome now." Well I was happy with that compliment. Coulson arrived just like in the movies and said "I need to talk to the both of you" pointing towards Thor and Me. "Don''t worry Son of Coul, we have no ill will towards you or this planet."said Thor "Didn''t you talk to Fury about me?" i asked. "I did and he wanted me to keep you and take you to meet him"replied Coulson "Well do you think that you can keep me, but don''t worry I will come to meet Fury later. It''s been years since I last saw him." 76 75-Thor Ends Well then after than banter, Thor alongside the Warrior Three, Sif and I left move towards the outside of the city and Thor shouted for Heimdall to somehow open the Bifrost. The Bifrost opened and we all were teleported to Asgard, only after Thor bid Jane goodbye.The Warrior Three and Sif were sent to the infirmary while I and Thor left to fight Loki. Things that happened in the movie had happened, Loki killing Laufey in the throne room while Odin was asleep and now he had opened Bifrost on Jotunheim. Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting. "Loki stop this is madness." said Thor "You think this is madness? this is what we should have done years ago. You even went to destroy then earlier."said Loki. "I know brother, but I now realise that I was wrong, stop it brother. I don''t care about anything that happen just come back."said Thor pleading. Loki looked for a minute like he was thinking. And then he said "No, You don''t understand my foolish brother it''s already too late you can''t stop the Bifrost now." and he became ready to fight us. I yelled "Thor you fight Loki while I will break the Bifrost." Thor followed my words and started fighting Loki while I tried to break the Bifrost and I am not kidding it is difficult to break it. And even with all my intelligence it''s literally the only method to stop it right now. While I was busy breaking the Bifrost I kept taking a look at Loki and Thor''s fight. This version of Loki was cleary more adept and fighting and knew his skills cause he wasn''t relying on his hand to hand combat skills but on the use of his magic. Tricking Thor by making clones and throwing fireballs. Loki suddenly yelled "Stop him or you be ever able to see her again." This caused Thor to flinch for a second and stop. He looked at me to see whether Loki was telling the truth, I shrugged my shoulder in response cause I can go back to Earth even without Bifrost don''t know about him though. Taking my shrug as what Loki said what true he closed his eyes for a second but then once again started fighting Loki. And then it happened Bifrost cracked and broke. Thor and Loki began to fall while I flew and caught Thor''s hand and Loki grabbed hold of Thor''s Mjolnir.And when I was just flying back taking them to the surface of Asgard, guess who finally decides to show up..., well it''s not a surprising cause it was Odin, literary coming at the end. Loki looked at Odin and said. "I could have done it Father for you,I could have done it Father for all of us." Odin replied "No, Loki." I could see the heartbreak in Loki''s eye who just let go. Thor shouted "Nooooooooo" clearly in grief while Odin once again said"No." not affected much. Seeing this I threw Thor towards Odin while I dived to catch Loki. 77 76-King Maybe? Well I finally caught Loki and held him long enough to land on an asteriod while he kept rambling on and on about me letting go. When we landed and Loki immediately started fighting me. "Why did you save me Vali? I was fine on my own." he said. I didn''t care and just slapped him, sending him flying. "Stop whining like a kid." I told him and then I took out a can of beer and started drinking while sitting on a rock nearby. Man it was an impulsive decision of mine to jump to catch Loki, I think I have already destroyed some plot of Avengers due to Butterfly Effect. While I was sitting contemplating Loki came back. He eyed me for a moment then asked "What is that you are drinking? " "Beer, Here" I said while tossing him a can. He caught the can, opened it and smelled a whiff of it before finally deciding to drink it. Satisfaction was evident on his face. "Where did you get this?" He asked clearly impressed with it. "Midgard ." "What!! Those ants made this?" he screamed. "Mind your tongue Loki, they aren''t ants if I have to say they are much better than us." I told him. He looked at me clearly not agreeing with my statement but still asked for one more and I obliged. "Those people who you call "ants" actually enjoy life more than us, they may not be as powerful as us but they use there minds more than us and haven''t stagnated yet unlike us, they made things, great things and bring changes everyday though not for the best everytime. They have made mistakes and will keep making them but they learn and that''s something we all need to learn too. Plus just look at this Beer don''t try to lie to me by saying that''s it''s not nice. It''s good to watch them and see how far they will go." He started to think about it. "Well I think it''s time now, See ya later then Loki." I said. And I started to teleport myself. "Wait!" yelled Loki. Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting. "What?" I asked. "You thinking of leaving me here? I am going with you." Loki demanded. "Oh you throwing your tantrums and demanding something from me, l smacked you recently didn''t I or did you forget?" I told him while amused to see him demanding something of me. Loki flinched for a moment. And then sighed and said " I don''t have any place to go, take me with you" "Well you can go back to Asgard" I told him. "No, they would throw me in the cells." "Well no problem of lodging and food then." I joked. He didn''t look amused at that. "Well you can go back to Jotunheim." I suggested. "What do you mean?" asked Loki. "Well since you killing Laufey who was the king of Jotunheim means they no longer have a king and you being his son can easily go and take control over there." Loki didn''t even think for a moment and took up my advice. And I teleported him to Jotunheim and without even waiting for a second left him amongst hordes of Frost Giants and I swear I heard him shouting my name, well it''s his problem to solve. 78 Not Dropped @@ Don''t worry guys the novel isn''t dropped, it''s just that I have been busy with life and thus am not able to keep my promise of 1chap a week too.

When and if I ever drop this novel I will inform you all.@@ 79 77- Avengers BEGINS So after dropping Loki, I made my way back to Earth. I had nothing much to do in this time but to wait for the events of Avengers to start. Though I may have altered them somehow with my changes made to Loki''s fate. So I was free so I decided to check up on Steve, I was sure that he was awake by now and was pretty much drilling himself to get used to this new era. For those who are wondering, I last met Peggy in the 90''s and since then I have had no contact with her. Though I know about which hospital she is in. I saw Steve and after observing him for few hours I could see that he was trying to drown himself in different activities either boxing, running or exercising just to avoid the fact of the year it is and how many years he has lost. I thought of going and meeting him but let''s just leave it for now. I will see him later during Invasion event. I left him and went on to just roam . {Time Skip of few months} In a Shield Facility , Nick Fury arrives in a car and begins talking with Erik Selvig. " So tell me when this started giving off these readings? " asked Fury "Since last night things really escalated, it started giving more reading since last week but this from last night readings really spiked." said Erik. Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting. Fury turned towards Maria Hill, his trusted confidant and said, " Get everyone to evacuate the area asap. " Maria Hill nodded and left the site. " So what do we know about this? " asked Fury to Selvig. "I don''t know, we can''t do anything about it, we don''t have anything like a switch off button. " said Selvig. Suddenly the tesseract started giving out more readings than before and sparks started coming out of it. "What is happening? Doctor, do something " said Fury. " I can''t do anything." replied Selvig looking shocked. Suddenly flashes of light occured and a figure landed outside. Fury looked at the figure who was clearing observing the surroundingand said, " Put the spear down Ma''am." The Figure looked directly towards Fury and with a playfull merth in her eyes said, " It''s funny that you think that you can command me to do anything ." and with a laughter raises the scepter and shot a blast towards Fury who flew in the air landed in the ground and was knocked out due to the impact. Hawkeye seeing that the being turned hostile fired arrow at it but before it could reach he was already knocked out by the figure. Finally she turned over and looked at a scared looking Selvig and said " Come on, there are a lot of things I need to know from you. ". The figure levitates and leaves takingSelvig and Hawkeye with it. Leaving behind a knocked out Fury along with lots of Shield personnels. 80 78- Filler I will give shout-out to the person who guessed "the figure" right at the start of the chapter in which I reveal her, so don''t worry. And I am thinking of taking part in the Naruto fanfic contest, what do you all think? _______________________________________________________ I was just sitting in my Himalayan cave just when I felt a big magical disturbance and so I teleported to look at it. I reached a place which I can only say was a SHIELD facility , and saw a lot of people knocked out and even Fury lying on his back . I am not proud of what I did next, I took photos of knocked of Fury and some photos in such poses that will make people laugh, at least I have some material to blackmail Fury now and I did my evil laughter there. Though enough with that, I started looking around the area to find out more about it. I was sure that tesseract had become active and had teleported some person here. That means that the events of Avengers have started but the main question is who is this person. Well I am sure it isn''t Loki, I already stopped him from coming here, so it could be either any of Thanos henchmen or some power hungry fool willing to follow his bidding, the types of people in which the Universe doesn''t lack. I went out to find the Ancient One in her astral form looking around. " So you know who did this?" I asked. She looked at me and said in her zen filled voice " Whether I know or don''t know doesn''t matter, lots of things have changed. " " Okay, would you be doing something about it? " I enquired of her. " There are events that don''t require my intervention , so, No I won''t be doing anything about it for now. Good luck to you Vali, you will need it for what''s to come. "saying so she left. Talk about being vague. She could probably stop everything that is to happen with the time stone but doesn''t , total coward to not use such a powerful mean to win all fights. Well I left the area too then , don''t want to be there when all the people wake up . I thought of going to find the person that is responsible for this but I am just too lazy to do it right now , so I went back to my cave. The person will reveal itself eventually, so why should I work hard. { A few hours later} Fury was woken up and taken by Paramedic whcih arrived at the scene later. "Sir are you okay now? "asked Maria Hill with concern about Fury. Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting. " I am fine Agent Hill, what the count of casualties?* Fury asked. " No one dead sir, some with injuries but Agent Barton and Dr. Selvig are missing. " replied Hill. " So she took my best agent and the most knowledgeable person we have regarding the Tesseract. Do we have any trace on her? " asked Fury. " No sir. " replied Hill. " Send Coulson to go and talk to Stark, it''s time to start the Avenger Initiative." replied Fury 81 79- Joining Avengers I was sitting in my cave when I heard the sound of a quinjet, which landed near the entrance and I opened the gate with open arms and expected Fury to be there but it turned out be Black Widow. " Hello, Mr Vali, Director Fury will like to meet with you?" she said. So Fury sent her, maybe thought that she could be seductive enough to make me come. " And why should I? Why should I listen to anything he says? " I jumped on my bed and laid down in a comfortable position while saying so. " Maybe this will draws your attention and make you more serious. " saying so she placed a hologram showing all that had happened with the Tesseract in the Shield facility and how it was stolen. " I don''t care about all this, if Fury wants to talk to me, he can come here." "Director Fury is busy with other matters right now but I will see what I can do." saying so she left. I was not amazed of the fact that Shield knew my hideout cause I had really taken no measures to hide it and only because there is no reason to hide it. Anyone who wants to attack me is welcome to try. Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting. Well Fury was quick to respond, he was with me in my cave within 2 hours staring at me. "Here have a drink don''t need to look so brooding." I threw a can at him saying so. He caught the can but didn''t drink it, instead he said, " Remind me Vali, isn''t Earth under your protection? Shouldn''t you have come with agent Romanoff instead of throwing a tantrum and washing time by calling me here. " " Oh no you got it wrong, Earth is under the protection of Asgard, not me so you could try calling them up and ask for help, Thor was in town a few months ago, why not try reaching him for help. " I said cheekily. "Considering the fact that they are unreachable shouldn''t you be the one responding?" said Fury still keeping up his poker face. " I should and I am, don''t worry if there is a problem I will intervene surely but you should realize yourc stupidity, experimenting on things you don''t understand, Carol would be so proud. " I said. This got some reaction from him " And remind me Vali how she got her powers?.... From an explosion of an experimental engine. We need to improve our capability when people like you are roaming about. We got lucky with you and Carol but what happens on a bad day when either of you are not there and someone with the plan of world domination comes how will we handle that? We need to be prepared. " said Fury. " You have this. " saying so I showed him the Avengers Initiative file. " How did you get this? " Fury asked while snatching the files from me " Remember this Fury I am always 2 steps ahead of you" cause I have knowledge of the future but you don''t need to know about it haha ha. " I am pretty sad that you didn''t consider me, though you still took the suggestion I gave for the Name" I said. " You said that you wouldn''t join." said Fury finally opening the can and drinking the contents. " It wouldn''t have hurt you to ask. " " Would you join the Avengers?" asked Fury finally defeated. " Hell yeah, come on let''s go we have a lot to talk about. By the way how did you lose your eye?" I asked Him. " I trusted someone I shouldn''t have." he said, clearly pissed off with the moment that it happened 82 80-Meeting Steve Again Fury told me that we were going to meet Steve and Bruce Banner on the Shield Hellicarrier. We got on a QuinJet and left. {Some Time Later} So Fury and I arrived on the Hellicarrier to meet with everyone. I had let Fury go a bit ahead of me while I kept looking at the Hellicarrier, it was a thing of beauty if I had to say. I had only seen it in the movies so I didn''t think that it had such a scale but on seeing it in person you can tell that it''s huge. I came across Fury while seeing Steve handing him few dollars. And then it happened, Steve saw me and his eyebrows shot up, and he kept staring at me completely shocked but then recovered his bearing and then came towards and held his hand "Steve Rogers, I might have been in the army with your grandfather." He said. Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting. Now I was shocked, Steve thought that I was a descendant of myself who fought with him in the war. And then with an embarrassed face, I said "Umm.., Steve it''s me. I am the Vali you fought with." And there it was a totally shocker for everyone around there, though Fury still didn''t let an emotion come on his face but he was shocked too, he knew I was powerful but he didn''t know that I had been on Earth back then too. In these years I had always thought what would Steve do when he will see me, will he be angry with me for not saving him or will he starting fighting with me or will we have an heated exchange of words. But what happened I didn''t even expect, Steve just took me in his embrace and hugged me. I never expected this, I always thought that he would get angry and why wouldn''t someone be when they lose all their friends and spent years on ice even thought they can be saved. I could see that Steve was overwhelmed, happy to see at least one familiar face. Wait a moment hadn''t he met Peggy yet and the. it hit me, Fury hadn''t yet taken Steve to Peggy yet. "Steve, You okay? " I asked. " Y..e.s, But Hoow?" he asked. "I will tell you all that later, But first have you met Peggy yet?" I asked "What?? She is alive??" Asked Steve "Yes" I told him while staring at Fury for not telling Steve about it. "Come on Let''s go."I told him. "We don''t have time for it now." yelled Fury "We are going to have a talk later Fury." I said I teleported with Steve To meet Peggy. I took Steve directly to Peggy''s room. Steve''s reaction on seeing Peggy was moving, he cried while talking to her. In all my time with him during the war, I had never seen him cry but now he was sitting there shedding tears. So to give them privacy, I went out of the room. 83 81-Attack on Hellicarrier I left Steve behind with Peggy in the hospital. No need to bring him back right now. I teleported back to Hellicarrier. I found Banner doing his best to find the Tesseract but what I found strange was that Tony wasn''t there. As far as I can remember Tony was there. " Hello Dr. Banner, I am Vali Asmund." I introduced myself to him. " Nice to meet you." said Banner while clearly focused on his work. " You are eager to get out of here aren''t you?" I asked him. " Ohh, yes, I don''t do well in enclosed spaces." said Banner fidgeting. " Well don''t worry Doctor, if something happens, I will handle it." Patting him on the shoulder, I left behind a very confused Banner. I then went to find Fury. Apparently he was in a meeting with the Chairmen. I found it strange that Fury can take orders, I thought he enjoyed giving them and being in charge than to take orders. I waited for him to finish his meeting and when he came out and saw me, he released a sign. "I already told you that we were going to have a talk. " I said. " Now is not the time, we will talk later. " said Fury. " No, Fury now is the time." I replied. " Vali, there is a woman out there with a thing that can destroy half the planet, so when I say it''s not the time, it means it''s not the time." saying so, He left. I just followed Fury after that and honestly I didn''t have anything else to do. I went to the deck from where he usually gives orders. I met Marie Hill, she really looked like Cobie Smulder, I loved her back in HIMYM. She took a glance at me and then proceeded to say that " Agent Coulson is coming back after meeting with Stark. He has just asked for land.." BOOOMM!!!! Missile started hitting the Hellicarrier. I covered Fury and jumped to a corner. Fury looked at me and without losing his clam said " " " Banner."

I am sure that Shield could deal with the guys attacking but dealing with Hulk would be difficult. It was easy to find the Hulk, just look for the place from where people were running from and listen to shouts. And so I found him very easily. He was wrecking havoc, what else could he be doing, he was angry. Should be cause I am pretty sure that Banner getting hurt must have made him angry. I ran towards him, Seeing me running towards him, Hulk charged at me with equal fury, he threw his punch at me but I ducked and smacked his chest. You will think what can smacking his chest achieve, and you are right it wouldn''t achieve much normally, but what I did was that I pushed him to his astral form. I was shocked to see the Astral form cause there was two of them. One of an unconcious Banner and one of an angry Hulk. I pushed Banner form first into the body which turned back to Banner''s and then I pushed Hulk''s form back in. I quickly picked Banner''s unconcious body and placed him in a room. Pretty boring battle but a quick and swift end to a battle is better than a fight which could possibly kill people. I went out to see 2-3 jets still firing missiles at Hellicarrier, I was sure that those who had managed to land and enter the Hellicarrier would be dealt with by the Shield agents so I jumped just like Hulk does on to these jet and broke them causing them to crash. It was fun to see their reaction when none of their bullet did anything to me. It was good that Hellicarrier was actually over a water body right now, probably saving a lot of people. But there was still a problem, Hellicarrier was crashing. They had done what damage they had come to do. I remember Stark had somehow repaired one of the turbines in the movie, but I can''t do that. I had no idea of how this thing was even working. I may not be as smart at technology as Stark is but I Excel at magic and I used just that. I used my powers to hold and glide Hellicarrier slowly towards the ground. 84 Ch-82-Introspec I placed the Hellicarrier on the ground easily. Whosoever planned this attack they did well. Instead of it being liked in the movie where their main objective was rescue, this time it was an assault, complete assault just to destroy the opponent. People were dead, a lot more than i think that were in the movie. It was a slaughter which they did indiscriminately. The lack of Steve, Thor and Tony did play an important part too. All three of them were responsible for containing the damage that was done. Two of the Big Three of the Avengers weren''t there when they were needed. The thing i don''t understand is why Thor still has not come to Earth, maybe since it isn''t Loki causing havoc so Odin isn''t paying attention on Earth. Tony is also an uncertain factor, maybe Fury didn''t recruit him this time, Butterfly Effect maybe. I helped as many as i could in the mean time, cleared the rubble, helped people to med care. Bruce was also awake by now. He was helping where ever he could, not as the Big Guy but as a Doctor, treating the injured. Though he was trying to put a strong front, I was able to notice the uncontrollable shaking of his hand everyone once in a while and how he would control it every time and will go on to help some one else. Barton was caught pretty much like the movies, Natasha had taken him with her. I honestly don''t care what happens with him right now. I needed to get out of here. I couldn''t stay here, atleast not right now, I am responsible for these death. I..i.. could have done lots of thing in all this time i had. For Fucks sake i could have just kept the Tesseract with me and all of this wouldn''t have happened, these people would still have been alive, living their life. I always knew that there were going to be deaths, MCU was shy about showing it but they did happened, i just didn''t think that it will affect me like it did, I usually just thought of these people like NPCs in a game, you don''t care whether they live or not, just busy with your quest. But to see people die infront of you, when you know you could have done a lot to change it, you could have saved a lot of lives but you didn''t, it hurts. I can''t mope now, I did make my choice and i will have to follow with what happens, No, I can change, i can change things, the time stone i only need that. I just need to go and get it, and I then can fix it, bring back all those death with no harm done. Its after all a comic universe people come back from death everytime in the end, don''t they?e I teleported To Kamar-Taj, but i felt something off. The place i teleported wasn''t Kamar-Taj, it was a barren field. "I hoped this wouldn''t come to pass Mr. Vali." said a voice who turned out to be the Ancient One. "If you knew i was coming then you know what i am here for." I spoke. "Yes, and in my duty as the Sorcerer Supreme, I can''t let you." She replied with an emotionless face.

"Why? why not bring back all of them, you have the power, you could have stopped all of this couldn''t you? then why didn''t you? You are the SORCERER SUPREME, it''s your job to keep people safe!" I spoke but it was getting difficult to speak with every syllable. "Mr.Vali, when you live as long as some of us do, you realize that you can''t stop everything. There are certain events that come to pass no matter how much you try to stop them, you can delay them but preventing these Pivot points cause more harm than good." she replied still keeping her facade of calmness. "So all those who died they didn''t have a choice? To just to be raised, spend their time, their life for one moment, one freaking moment that is to die, that is what the universe had in plan for them, that fate is what you are condemning them for? To die for what the Greater Good? It''s easier said than done when the one being affected is not you isn''t it?" And with that I flew in rage to attack her. She sidestepped easily. But she can''t stop me so easily, I used kicked at her while throwing some fireballs at her. She dodged the kick with her hand while one of the fireball hit her. We kept going back and forth for a while, knowing that i couldn''t get the stone if things kept going on like this, I closed my eyes, she stopped for a second, surprised by my tactic then i yelled "LUMOS", a copy of a spell I saw in the Harry Potter, instead of it being just a small light, mine was a flashbang sort with enough light to blind a person for a while, nothing permanent but good enough to disorient. It affected her just like i hoped it would, clearly no one in all these years had used such an easy tactic on her. I immediately plunged my hand forward so as to grab the eye, but i failed, the Ancient one used the Time Stone to hold me then even with her closed eyes looked at me and said, "I am Sorry, that you don''t understand this yet, but with time you will Mr.Vali that certain event are necessary for the grand scale of things, those lives that you see lost today, played a bigger part, on a scheme larger than you can imagine right now. The moment you came on Earth, i knew the possibility of us being at this impasse was high. I hoped we could avoid it, unfortunately we couldn''t. I hope that the next we meet you will have come to some understanding of what I meant." And with her words finished, she teleported me.
