Surveillance data from all over the globe flickered continuously on the holographic screen.
S.H.I.E.L.D.'s top Agents were searching with all their might for the energy signatures of Loki and the Tesseract.
With Su Modie, the transmigrator, directing from behind the scenes, Makima, who appeared to be seriously reviewing real-time global intelligence, actually skipped those useless screening steps and locked the surveillance and intelligence network's primary search area onto Stuttgart, Germany.
As expected, a piercing alarm soon came from the European branch, but the content of the briefing made Su Modie's heart skip a beat behind the scenes.
"Officer, there's a situation in Stuttgart."
Makima looked at the briefing on the screen, looked up, and reported to Nick Fury, "Dr. Heinrich Schaeffer was knocked unconscious in the restroom at the banquet. At the same time, the underground laboratory he is responsible for was broken into, and the rare element Iridium was stolen."
Fury's single eye darkened: "No alarms were triggered?"
"None. Surveillance shows Dr. Schaeffer walked into the laboratory and took the items himself," Makima stated the facts.
Hearing this intelligence, not only was Fury completely bewildered, but Su Modie, far away in New York, was also full of questions.
That's not right!
In the plot Su Modie was familiar with, the theft of the Iridium was clearly accomplished by Loki and Hawkeye in a two-pronged attack.
Loki was responsible for making a high-profile appearance at the banquet, even forcing the crowd to kneel and creating panic with great fanfare to attract the attention of Iron Man and Captain America, while Hawkeye took advantage of the gap to sneak into the laboratory and steal the Iridium.
But what about now?
Through Makima's eyes, Su Modie glanced at another corner of the bridge—Hawkeye, who should have been brainwashed into a villain, was currently holding a cup of coffee and leaning against the railing with Natasha, leisurely gossiping about Captain America's awakening.
Just as Su Modie expected, Loki's plan had changed.
No wonder Tony didn't meet up with S.H.I.E.L.D. in Germany but instead flew directly to the mothership.
"Officer! Radar has picked up an unidentified flying object outside the mothership!" an Agent in charge of monitoring suddenly reported loudly, "It's extremely fast, but its flight path... is very chaotic, like a headless fly spinning around the surrounding area!"
"Switch the feed to the main screen and zoom in!" Fury immediately ordered.
The image on the main screen quickly zoomed in.
Between the gale and the clouds, a burly figure wearing a tattered red cape and swinging a hammer was crashing around everywhere.
"Is that... the alien deity that appeared in New Mexico?" Hill couldn't hide her shock.
"It's Thor." Coulson immediately took a step forward, his expression grave and tinged with a bit of urgency.
"Officer, he is Loki's brother. He's definitely here for Loki and the Tesseract!"
Fury weighed it for a moment and decisively ordered: "Deactivate the optical cloaking in his area, guide him to land, and everyone on full alert!"
The cloaking camouflage outside the deck faded away like ripples on water, revealing a cold steel silhouette.
Thor caught the guidance signal and slammed heavily onto the deck with the momentum of thunder.
Thunder God Thor
However, when the hatch opened and Coulson led the team to meet him, everyone was stunned by the scene before them.
This Thunder God looked incredibly wretched at this moment.
His silver armor was covered in scorch marks and torn gashes.
He knelt on one knee, using Mjolnir to firmly prop up his body. His face was as pale as paper, and blood dripping from the corner of his mouth splashed onto the deck one drop at a time. His chest heaved violently, as if he had just experienced a life-and-death battle.
"Asgardian, what are you doing here?" Fury walked forward from behind the crowd, his single eye fixed on Thor.
"I... I am here to take Loki back."
Thor's voice carried a hint of weakness and anger as he looked around and said through gritted teeth.
Makima looked coldly at this miserable state: "It seems you two have already reminisced."
"I found him, and we fought a battle."
Thor's face was full of resentment and regret, "I heavily wounded him, but he was truly too cunning. He used magic to escape at the last moment, but..."
Speaking to this point, Thor took a deep breath and pulled out a polearm emitting a faint blue light, planting it heavily on the metal deck.
"I seized the weapon from his hands."
Mind Stone?!
Looking at the Mind Stone scepter in Thor's hand and his miserable appearance of being "heavily wounded" by Loki.
Su Modie's brain nearly crashed behind the scenes.
What the hell?!
Thor was beaten bloody by Loki?
Loki was heavily wounded by Thor? Even the most important Mind Stone was lost?
How is this possible?
Something's not right... something's very wrong...
However, for the unaware Nick Fury and the others.
The enemy's brother coming to place justice above family and even capturing the enemy's important weapon was simply a windfall from the sky.
Fury immediately ordered the medical team to give Thor a simple dressing and welcomed him into the core area of the Helicarrier.
Amidst the chaos, Su Modie suddenly realized—
Stark, Steve, Banner, Natasha, Barton, plus Thor who came of his own accord... the six-member original Avengers actually completed their first assembly ahead of time under this strange twist of fate.
After a brief settlement, in the Helicarrier's core laboratory.
The Mind Stone Thor had seized from Loki was currently placed quietly in the center of the experimental table, emitting a faint and eerie blue light.
Tony and Banner, the "science pair," quickly entered their work state.
Of course, Tony never trusted S.H.I.E.L.D.
While he was playing around at the command console earlier, he secretly inserted a decryption chip. At this moment, Jarvis was frantically scraping the classified files Fury had hidden in the background.
Where there are those rebellious by nature, there are naturally those who strictly abide by the rules.
Just then, Steve pushed the door and walked in.
When he saw that Tony wasn't taking the search for the Tesseract seriously at all and was instead hacking S.H.I.E.L.D.'s network, his brow immediately knitted into a knot.
An argument regarding "whether to trust Fury during wartime" suddenly erupted.
"Stark, our primary mission is to follow orders!" the authentic old-school American Steve said solemnly and justly.
"Give it a rest, Captain. That old fox wearing an eyepatch has so many secrets that even his secrets have secrets. If he isn't hiding anything, why doesn't he dare to tell us the Tesseract's true purpose?" Tony retorted while stuffing dried blueberries into his mouth.
While the two were arguing incessantly, Reze was slumped sloppily on the leather sofa in the corner.
She had been arranged by Su Modie to come over and keep an eye on these unstable elements.
Watching these two men, who could be called the two polar opposites of the American spirit, bickering with each other, as a Soviet who had nothing to do with it, she naturally felt no reverence; she only felt that the bickering of these two old men was more interesting than a late-night soap opera.
"Hey, you there, the little girl who plays with Bombs."
Tony, who was in the middle of a heated argument, suddenly shifted his focus and directed the fire straight at Reze, who was slacking off. "You be the judge. As a young person, do you think I'm right, or is this centenarian in tights right?"
"Plays with Bombs?" Steve and Banner heard this and all swept their gazes over with a hint of confusion.
"Huh?" Reze, suddenly being called out, also sat up straight with a bewildered look.
How did her spectating end up with her being targeted?
"What does you two old geezers bickering have to do with me?"
