I'm just an 'Ordinary' Human (Marvel fanfic) Chapter 49: Start of Volume 4

A few days have passed since the incident happened.

Right now, we're in Central Park, New York. Before we left for Asgard, the Avengers had a tacit agreement to meet here for some reason. I just went along with it despite not being part of them. On my side is Morgana, Karla, and a floating unconscious Lynn. She was encased in a transparent blue barrier.

"How is she?" I heard Thor ask from behind me.

"Doable, for now. I created a space for her body that is separate from this dimension where the elements cannot reach her." I turned to him. "But the elements that have already seeped inside her body. That I cannot extract."

All of that is possible because of the Tesseract. I've been studying it for days now, and I gotta say. It has paid off.

"I am sorry, about what happened to her. I will see to it that the best of Asgard's medical doctors will cure her." Thor said while glaring at Loki.

"What happened to Lynn?" Just then, Natasha and Barton arrived.

"Loki happened." I curtly replied to her.

"Well, you gotta admit. The guy has a knack for making things worse."

As Barton finished speaking, we heard the sound of a roaring engine approaching. Stark and Banner came out of an expensive-looking car, while Steve Rogers arrived using a motorcycle.

"Okay, for the record, I'm only late because Bruce said he wanted a drive-thru on the way." Stark said to Steve.

"What?"

"It's good to see you, Tony." Steve chuckled and shook Stark's hand.

The three of them walked together towards us. Natasha greeted them with a hug, while Barton and Thor offered handshakes.

"How are we doin' on S.H.I.E.L.D?" As they settled down, Stark asked a question.

"Oh, you know. Debriefings, investigations. Apparently, they wanted the artifacts and Loki to stay inside their jurisdiction." Barton replied.

"Loki will be judged by my father, the Ruler of Asgard himself, for the crimes that he has done."

"What did Nick said?" Steve interjected.

"The same thing as Thor's. Leave Loki to them, and the artifacts to him." Natasha pointed at me.

"Speaking of which, can I ask you something? No, wait. Actually, let's have a talk. Me and you."

"I don't have anything to say to you." I replied to Stark's ultrhigh ego.

"It's a favor." As Stark said that, everyone looked at him. It's hard to imagine someone like him asking a favor.

Looking at his eyes, I can see a bit of pleading and reluctance, like he wanted to take it back the moment he said it. Although his slightly narcissistic personality is annoying, he indeed saved New York by nearly sacrificing himself to redirect that nuke. I would've lost more if that nuke exploded right in the middle of New York. I guess you can say he saved my party members. I owed him one.

"Alright." I teleported myself and Stark inside a sub-dimension.

"God. I really miss the times when magic can only be seen on televisions." Stark mumbled while looking around.

"What is it?"

"Okay, here's the thing." Stark took out a pen-like device. "Can you let me see the scepter again? I have seen the Tesseract from Fury but I can't figure out what it is. I'm thinking maybe Loki's scepter could help."

That's it? I took out the scepter from my Storage and handed it to him.

"Thanks, buddy." Stark pressed something on the pen that produced a blue light. It scanned the scepter from up to the bottom, multiple times on different angles.

I don't see anything wrong with it. In the first place, I'm sure it wouldn't affect the scepter in any way if all he would do is to scan it. Of course, I kept my eyes open for any tricks that he might pull on me. But all he truly did was to scan it.

'Now we're even. I don't really like owing someone a favor, you see.'

After that, we went back to the others.

"What did you two talk about?" Banner whispered to Stark.

"Physics and magic, what else."

With nothing else left to talk about, the Avengers went their separate ways. Steve left with his motorcycle; Natasha and Barton maybe to another mission; Stark and Banner to Stark's residence.

Stark said he planned to renovate the Stark tower and change the name into the Avengers tower. So if something's up, he said to just approach it anytime.

"Shall we go?" I asked everyone who's left. Morgana, Karla, and Thor.

They all nodded.

"Alright then, let's go to Asgard."

Grasping the Tesseract in my hand, I teleported the four of us with the addition of the unconscious Lynn and the handcuffed Loki into Asgard.
