[SHIELD Facility]
“How bad is it?” Nick Fury said, as he stepped down from the helicopter, that just dropped them off.
” That’s the problem, sir. We don’t know.” Coulson said.
They entered the facility, passing fleeing technicians, taking only the essentials, and heading towards the evac point.
“Dr. Selvig read an energy surge from the Tesseract four hours ago.” Coulson continued.
” NASA didn’t authorize Selvig to test phase.” Fury said.
“He wasn’t testing it, he wasn’t even in the room. “Coulson said.
They continued walking down deeper into the facility and arrived to the radiation facility housing the Tesseract, the area was cluttered with machines, and people were leaving.
Dr. Erik Selvig appeared from behind a CMS machine, concerned. The Tesseract was glowing unusually bright and a flare of blue shot out from it, hitting things at random.
Fury exchanged a few words, with Dr. Selvig trying to ascertain the situation.
Agent Barton who Fury assigned to watch the doctor, confirmed his report, about the cube’s irregular behavior.
Suddenly, the Tesseract thundered and shook the entire facility.
The cube glowed brighter and emitted a ring of light, and built a beam, similar to the Bifrost bridge.
The power from the space stone hit the edge of the platform and began forming a vortex.
Space appeared through the portal, and a gust of blue energy knocked people back. The cloud shot to the ceiling, and the portal on the platform opened up as Loki stepped through.
The portal vanished, and Loki grinned at everyone, holding his spear.
Things ended in Dr.Selvig and Barton being mind-controlled by Loki, taken in as his minions, he also took the tesseract.
The underground research facility was destroyed, but thankfully casualties were low, and most people managed to escape.
[Limbo]
A blonde man, with a chiseled body and blue piercing eyes, could be seen training. He was surrounded by greenery and shouts of beasts and other strange creatures could be faintly heard in the distance.
The young man was floating a few feet off the ground in a lotus position, he had his eyes closed and a tense look on his face. It almost looked like he was straining, trying to hear a distant sound or whisper.
He suddenly opens his eyes. ” It’s time!”
…
It’s been a hard few years, the hardest part of it, was the loneliness. It was naïve of me to think I could spend, years training without any human contact and come out unaffected.
The first couple of years were fine, I immersed myself in research and studied magic to my heart’s content.
It was when I first started experimenting with souls when I first realized, I’ve stayed long enough.
I mean they weren’t human souls, but still.
I was currently at the castle packing up and getting ready to leave Limbo. I couldn’t wait to see Jean, Kitty, and Illyana.
My greatest boon was developing Cypher’s original powers, which in turn increased my adaptability and power as a sorcerer.
My ability itself evolved to a superior version of All Speak.
I obtained the to speak and understand every language in the universe.
I even gained the ability to communicate with animals and objects.
Of course, it depended on how sentient both the object and animal were. It usually ranged from being able to hear a few words, to having full on conversations
I also became a Runemaster and even managed to develop a few original runes of mine.
Ancient runes were called the language of gods which were very mysterious. It was said to be able to get a glimpse of the mysteries of the gods.
Most of my runic knowledge came from studying Asgardian, demonic, and dwarven runes.
Asgard’s Library had a few books on Dwarven runic language.
It didn’t have any secret techniques, but I was able to deduce a few useful ones.
There were various types of runic alphabets used in runes, with one of the oldest ones being the Asgardian runic alphabet known as ‘Elder Futhark’.
The runes had a stronger effect when engraved, a slightly weaker one, when constructed using magic and finally another form, only possible due to my ability.
I could use runes by simply speaking them, the effect is weaker, but it’s versatility in combat is invaluable.
I found a way to infuse, my voice with magic and verbalize symbols, and glyphs.
I found the Dwarven runes, were most optimal in enchanting weapons or armors.
Stuff like engraving it, to make the weapon sharper, unbreakable or even a call back rune, so you could never lose your weapon.
Asgardian runes were more suited for combat, and although they had runes, that worked similar to the dwarven ones, the dwarvens ones were simply a lot better.
Demonic runes were ideal for cursing, poisoning, hexing and rituals. One could use it to fight, but most of them took time.
There was a few, which could instantly kill, but it was stuff like making your blood boil or your heart explode.
I wasn’t able to find out, which dimension my powers were connected to, but I was close.
Unfortunately, though that would have to wait for another time. I had to get back, and prepare.
[ Earth]
” Welcome back, Master.”
” It’s good to be home, how were things while I was gone.” I said.
” A number of events have occurred as you’ve predicted, Steve Rogers was found, and Director Fury requested a meeting.” Sophie said.
” That’s good to hear, anything else?” I said.
” Yes, there have been several infiltration attempts to Cypher Solutions. ” Diana said.
” Any idea who they were and what they want? ” I said
” SHIELD, Oscorp and Stark industries were the most notable.” Diana said.
” Tony? Are you sure? ” I asked.
” The entity which calls itself JARVIS, tried hacking into our servers, we taught him a little lesson, so he won’t be trying it again anytime soon. ” Diana said.
” He’s not a true Artificial Intelligence like you guys are, you’re just bullying him by that point. ” I said.
I unpacked my stuff and decided to get dressed in something a bit more, nice.
” How are the girls doing, I hope things went well, while I was gone. ” I said.
” Kitty and Illyana woke up, and are currently recuperating at the Sanctum. Jean is at the mansion visiting Orroro” Sophie said.
” I’ll be heading to the sanctum first, to check on Kitty and Illyana. Don’t tell Jean, I’m here yet, I want to make it a surprise.” I said.
I opened a portal to the sanctum, and found myself standing before the Ancient One’s quarters.
I knocked and waited for an answer.
No one answered, so I decided to head towards the training area instead.
I arrived at the training area, only to be shocked by what I was seeing.
Kitty and Illyana were in the middle of a spar, but unlike their first one, it was a lot more flashy.
Illyana kept popping in and out all around Kitty using stepping discs, quite similar to the ones back at limbo.
Kitty on the other hand, was doing some highly acrobatic moves, which normally would’ve been impossible for her to do.
It wasn’t on the level of a super soldier, but definitely not too far off.
” Uhhh…”
” Impressive aren’t they?”
The Ancient One suddenly appeared, walking slowly until she was standing right beside me.
” They certainly are, but what happened?” I asked.
” Well, after Kitty woke up a few months ago, we discovered she retained some of the abilities of her previous state. She’s stronger, faster and more agile. Her senses seem to have improved too, which helped her control her phasing ability even more. ” She said.
” Didn’t you say, there wasn’t going to be any effects after she woke up? Should we be concerned? ” I said.
” I don’t think so, but it never hurts to be cautious. I checked her soul, and it mostly looked normal. ” She said.
” Illyana on the other hand, is a bit different. Her teleportation ability seems to be a lot more potent than anything I’ve ever seen. If I’m not mistaken, it should be part of her Meta-human ability. Her aptitude for magic though, is on another level. It’s even higher than Strange’s, if it weren’t for her ‘special’ circumstances, I would have considered training her as the next Sorcerer Supreme. ” She continued.
I was surprised by her by her statement, in most universes Strange would always inherit the Ancient One’s mantle as the Sorcerer Supreme.
If she was willing, to change something this crucial, it only meant Illyana’s prowess were a lot more impressive than I initially thought.
We continued watching their spar, and it seemed like it was going to be a stalemate, Illyana although powerful, was still too inexperienced and Kitty’s recent power up helped her counter Illyana’s teleportation.
Her senses became even sharper, allowing her to phase through attacks, that previously would have been too fast for her to react to.
” Thank you for watching over them, while I was gone.” I said.
” It’s my pleasure, it’s been nice having them around, they remind me of my younger days.” She said.
I took a vial out of my pouch and handed it to to her. She looked curiously at it, and asked me what it was.
” I developed it, while I was in limbo, it won’t make you immortal, but it’ll stop the aging. ”
” Are there any side effects?” She asked.
” None.” I said.
Her eyes moistened a bit, and I could see how much weight was lifted off her shoulders.
It must have been heavily weighing on her mind, the fact that she was depending on the Dark Dimension’s energy to sustain her.
She thanked me while carefully putting it away.
I owed her big time, and this was the least, that I could do.
