[Asgard]
It didn't take long for the news to spread throughout Asgard and a happy atmosphere was surrounding the whole Asgard. The Asgardians have also noticed the changes in their 2nd Prince and most of them were quite relieved.
But there were some Asgardians who didn't like this decision, but most of them could do nothing about it other than bitching and moaning from the shadows. After all, none of them have any kind of power... neither raw power nor political power.
But one Asgardian among these Asgardians was in a completely different position, he had both raw power (well, not exactly raw power but magical power) and he had more political power than he needed.
That said Asgardian was pacing around inside his room after the initial cheers and celebrations have stopped. This Asgardian was none other than Thor's brother Loki.
In truth, Loki wasn't an Asgardian and he has recently found his true heritage when he was walking inside Odin's vault. Obviously, Odin didn't know about his adoptive son's stroll through his vault.
It was by mistake that Loki found out about his true heritage and now everything became clear for him. He never understood why his father never liked him even though he was Odin's firstborn and why Odin preferred his brother over him.
But now... now it is completely clear. How can Odin prefer him when he isn't even his son. Now, Loki understood why Odin always preferred and loved Thor more than him. After all, Loki didn't have Odin's blood running through his veins.
Loki didn't know what to do when he found out the truth... he couldn't imagine that Odin must have taken him in because of pity and sympathy, not love or Odin would have loved him when he grew up too.
But the news of Thor ascending to the Throne changed everything. Loki didn't think that it would happen so soon... it was a mistake on his side and he knew that very well but there was nothing he could do now.
"No... no..." Loki whispered furiously and kept pacing in his room. "I can't allow this to happen... the Throne belongs to me" Loki said while shaking his head.
Loki knew that he wasn't a true Asgardian nor he was Odin's son but there was no way that he would simply give up the Throne because of that. According to Loki the Throne still belonged to him and if he can't get the Throne then he won't allow anyone to get the Throne.
"I need a new plan" Loki whispered under his breath and started to think... there was no way that Odin would change his decision. Thor has also changed after he was wrecked by that Cosmic Entity...
Hmm... Cosmic Entity... he remembered the fear he saw on Odin's face that day. Odin has never been scared of anything... that on its own shows how much of a fool they were and they would have probably died if Odin and Frigga didn't show up.
He hated the insults that were thrown in his direction but there was nothing he could do there... but the same Cosmic Entity might be the answer for his troubles though... he needed to do something really simple.
He needed to make that Cosmic Entity think that Asgard is attacking but Loki knew that he won't be able to pull something like that when Odin is still warming the Throne... so he needed Thor to become the King... only after that, he could act.
He didn't like this plan because Thor would be getting his Throne so he decided to slightly modify the plan... he decided to carry out the plan on the day of the Ceremony. Except for his mother, no one could notice his illusions, so he would be able to sneak out.
He knew that the Frost Giants would do anything to get the Casket of Ancient Winters back in their hands so he was going to lure the Frost Giants into Odin's vault... that would obviously blow up Thor's gasket and he would seek out war, but Loki knew that Thor has changed and chances of that happening is really low.
So... he needed to add some twists to his plans so that he could attract the ire of that Cosmic Entity with that. Loki didn't dare to step into Midgard in fear but what would happen if Frost Giants appear on Midgard using Bifrost??
"Yes!" Loki exclaimed loudly and raised up his hands in victory but he quickly calmed down. He couldn't afford to slip up though... this was just a plan now but he needed to bring it into reality...
But what Loki didn't notice was that this plan didn't appear in his head on its own... a being lurking in some unknown part of the Universe implanted the plan in Loki's mind. The being saw the whole thing and a feral grin appeared on the being's face...
[The Rook, Elysium]
Luna was sitting at her usual table and she was happily sketching a pudding cup in her sketchbook while humming some song no one knew. She was happy that like the others she wasn't dealing with a headache... advantages of being a seer. She knew how much she should drink.
Suddenly her pencil stopped moving and Luna looked up with a dreamy look on her face.
The smile on Luna's face vanished and she looked contemplative for a few seconds "Hmm... so we are going into this future" Luna whispered under her breath with a frown.
"Hmm... it's not going to be a problem as long as Reo is successful" Luna declared and her usual smile appeared on her face once again. Luna mused for a few more seconds then once again she resumed sketching while humming that unknown song.
[POV Nat]
Nat was lazing in her chair while rubbing her temples trying to alleviate her hangover headache. Suddenly a notification started to blink on her screen. She immediately pushed herself up and opened the notification. Nat was surprised to see the notification though.
Someone just tried to breach the barrier around Elysium using some unknown method of Teleportation but that person or the group was repelled by the barrier. She was sure that the person who tried to breach the barrier wasn't a Meta-Human.
After all, Momo and Fleur designed the barrier in such a manner that it won't stop a Meta-Human. Meta-Humans would be able to move freely through their barrier. The only reason Bruce Banner and Jennifer Walters were able to enter Elysium was because they used a Portkey made by Reo.
So, the person who tried to breach their barrier must be something other than Meta-Human. The person also wasn't a human because humans didn't have Teleportation ability. She also knew that it wasn't the Ancient One or any Sorcerer because they used portals to travel.
The only possibility she could think of was Inhumans. That is the only possible conclusion she was able to reach that moment and because the person wasn't a Meta-Human, he wasn't able to enter Elysium.
No matter what, Nat decided to tell Eric about this. Eric was the leader because Reo obviously didn't want the responsibility of being a leader. Nat picked up the phone and called Eric... this wasn't their usual mobile it was a regular landline.
'Hello, did something happen?' Eric asked. Even though it was a landline they were the latest model and you could see the caller ID.
"Someone just tried to teleport to Elysium but he or she was repelled by the barrier" Nat said. Eric didn't say anything for a few moments.
'That means he must be an Inhuman' Eric said in a thoughtful tone. 'I will ask the Inhumans if they know anything about a person who could teleport or not' Eric said and ended the call.
Nat just shrugged but she decided to keep her eyes peeled because this person could be a threat to her family and she won't let anything threaten her family. (A/N: Dominic Toretto vibesš¤£š¤£š¤£)
[POV NEMURI]
Last night was a lot of fun... I am not going to deny that but I should have stopped after the 9th bottle... well, not that I remembered that I was chugging down my ninth bottle.
I don't even remember when all of us Flash Stepped into my Sacred Garden (A/N: She named her pyramid Sacred Garden though she did have a garden inside her pyramid) while Ororo Portkeyed there. Though I really wonder how could anyone of us had remembered that Ororo needed a portkey to travel.
I am really annoyed now that even the Hangover potion wasn't able to alleviate the headache. All of us were really excited when we heard that Momo finally finished her ship and it would take a week to completely finish it.
Ororo was slightly jealous that we would be already in space when the ship was going to be finished and she won't be able to fly in it. Though I didn't mind it though since the ship wasn't shiny at all...
I finally arrived at the NASA Training Center. Ororo was already here because of her schedule but I needed to visit my office and Gao's... oh sorry, my business before I came here. I needed to see if there was any development or not and I was surprised that there was some development.
The Detectives who questioned me a few months ago regarding those murders seem to be snooping around my company. I will take care of them today if possible or if not then after I return from space...
Hehe... no one messes with matters of this Venerable and Majestic Fox... well, Reo is free to mess me up however he wants...
