Chapter 81: Meeting Steve
As Banner and other were talking another quinjet landed after few minutes. Out came Coulson and another person who John was very much looking forward to meet. Steve Rogers, a.k.a. Captain America. John's eye light up when he saw Steve and happily went to greet him.
"Hello Captain. It's my honor to meet you." John said to Steve.
"Hello John. It's nice to meet you. They updated me on you. Thanks for using the money only for good of the people and helping the people of the other world. I still can't understand the theory of parallel universe but nonetheless your work is commendable." Steve said.
John felt shy about it but was happy that Steve had a good impression of him unlike Tony. John could already feel from his words that he wasn't a fan of Tony for his past.
"Hello Steve I am Diana." Diana approached and introduced herself to Steve. Steve too had seen the movies before coming. Steve felt his story and the Steve in Diana's story had so many similarities. He felt it was the destiny of both of them to die in a plane crash even in other universes.
"Hello Diana, I am sorry for your loss." Steve said while making a handshake with Diana. Diana had approached Steve because she too felt Steve's story in this world and the Steve's story in her world had similarities.
"It's fine, it's been over a century almost." Diana replied with a smile.
"Oh yes, I am sorry I forgot you are the daughter of Zeus." Steve smiled stiffly as he realized that she was close to an immortal and comes from legends. Banner too approached and exchanged pleasantries. Natasha who just came from inside said
"Coulson, they need you on the bridge. Did you get both of them?"
"Yes. I have contacted both. They will join soon." Coulson left after saying that.
"Did Coulson ask for signing the trading cards yet?"
"Trading cards?" Steve said little surprised.
"It's vintage. He is proud of it. He is a big fan of you Captain." Natasha said.
"Gentlemen and lady, you might want to step inside. It's going to get hard to breathe" Natasha said.
"Breathe? It's a submarine?" Steve said.
"No Steve this whole ship is going to fly." John said. Natasha looked at John as he said that but didn't say anything. They all went to see the rotators revolving fast.
"We should go inside. Not everybody can survive the high altitude like Diana" John said as the ship was gaining altitude slowly.
They all went inside. John went and sat in a chair while looking at all the agents working and handling things. Banner, Diana and Steve were moving around trying to take all the things in. The whole facility was of high technology so all of them were awestruck by it.
After the helicarrier went high up in the air and vanished Fury came as all sat at the round table. Fury asked John
"Is Hal Jordan going to come? We might need him."
"I am not sure. I am not even sure if the Guardians have been sent here too along with Hal. He hasn't contacted me. Maybe he has already arrived and is in the universe somewhere. It's not like only Earth has gateways from other worldly beings to enter." John said. Fury now almost has total belief of whatever story John weaved in movies and even for Naruto world as he has seen Bruce, Diana and the Naruto and he had read various reports from agents who have gone to their world.
"Doctor Banner thanks for coming. We will need your help in locating the Tesseract. Natasha take him to his lab." Fury turned and said to Banner
"Thanks for asking nicely, I would need all the available spectrometers in the world calibrated to find weak gamma rays" Banner said
"Come with me Doc, we have all the toys." Natasha said as he led Banner to his laboratory.
After an hour of searching from all face recognition software SHIELD finally got a hit on Loki.
"Sir he is in Stuttgart, Germany and he isn't exactly hiding." an agent said.
"Captain and Diana you are up." Diana too was sent as she was powerful enough to catch Loki
Stuttgart, Germany
The story for Loki progressed as it should have. Loki went to Germany with Clint to steal iridium to stabilize the portal. As Loki himself wanted to get caught to destabilize the super powered people he made a grand scene as he ordered a bunch of civilians in the square to kneel. As Loki was going to kill an old man in order to show his dominance, the laser beam was reflected back by the shield of Captain America to Loki again.
"You know the last time I was in Germany and saw a man standing above everybody else, we ended up disagreeing." Steve said.
"The soldier. The man out of time." Loki.
"I am not the only one out of time." Captain replied.
As he said that Loki saw a shining rope fell onto him from above and tightening him immediately. Loki who just got up was bounded again by the lasso of truth.
"What is this?" Loki was surprised but then remembered.
"The lasso of truth. We meet again Loki." Diana said.
