"Stark, why are you gathering us here? Is there something you want to tell us?"
Almost all of Justice League's members were gathered in the laboratory!
"Jarvis, block all surveillance and jam all signals in this room!"
Instead of answering the question, Tony gave Jarvis a command!
"Of course, sir. All surveillance and communication signals have been blocked!" Jarvis' reply was immediate!
"Get on with it, Stark, tell us what you're hiding!" The Captain confronted Stark, his voice full of doubt! Why would Stark suddenly told Jarvis to block all surveillance?
"I have..a proposition! But that bald egg definitely won't agree with my method! So we can only go on our own ways!
"So, what I'm proposing is, why don't we just play along with Loki's plan?"
Tony unveiled his plan!
"What do you mean?" The Captain still didn't understand what Tony was talking about. How exactly would going along with Loki's plan benefit them? "We don't even know the details of his plan yet; although, from what we see from him, I think his plan was to divide and conquer by defeating us one by one!"
"Loki is not a real threat to us. He's just one guy! Even you and I could beat him on our own! But, as Thor had said, he has an alien army from outer space backing him!
"We can't find the Tesseract anyhow, so we can't stop him from opening the portal! But, maybe we don't need to stop him!
"With the current power that our Justice League possess, I am confident that an alien army is not a concern to us! We should instead take this opportunity to completely annihilate them. We need to make Loki think that he has won, that he is unstoppable!
"Then, when he is at his highest moment, while he is going through his victory lap, we would swoop in and hand his ass to him on a platter!"
Tony smiled mischievously as he unveiled his plan!
"Stark, this plan is too bold, too dangerous. A single mistake would spell disaster upon us! The whole world is at stake!"
The Captain argued against the plan, feeling that it was too risky!
"Calm down, Cap, I won't do anything that I'm not 100% confident we can do! Also, don't forget, the Justice League has a powerful trump card!"
Tony's voice was full of confidence!
"The question is, how do we get Loki to think that he has defeated us?"
Banner didn't directly object to the proposal, but he simply voiced his confusion for the steps in the plan!
"Oh, that is trivial. We have you…"
Tony smiled meaningfully as he looked at Banner's eyes!
"That's insane! I want no part on this!"
Banner replied helplessly, not expecting Tony's plan to directly involve him!
...
The helicarrier sailed steadily through the sky, even as it suddenly received a group of uninvited guests!
"Get ready!"
As the saying goes, your best friends would become your greatest enemy. After Loki turned Hawkeye to his side, Hawkeye displayed strength far exceeding his original level!
Hawkeye destroyed the helicarrier's engine in a single shot, catching the SHIELD personnel off-guard. He even implanted a virus to forcibly lock the helicarrier's computers!
Teams of armed criminals infiltrated the helicarrier and wreaked havoc within!
Gunshots filled the helicarrier, interspersed by violent explosions! The SHIELD agents, caught with their pants down, could barely hold the infiltrators back!
...
"Damn, it seems that Loki has begun his plan! We should start getting a move on!"
Tony immediately understood what the distant yet violent explosion meant: Loki had started his schemes against them!
Fortunately, he had formulated his own plans, and he need only to act on it!
"Alright, everyone, remember your part! Keep your powers hidden! Let Loki think he has the upper hand so he would proceed to the next phase of his plan!"
Tony commanded his colleagues as he controlled the flying metal shards from the explosions around them!
"Stark, I pray that your plan works. We could be bringing the destruction of this world!"
The Captain reluctantly agreed to Tony's plan after a brief pause!
"You have nothing to worry about, Cap! Banner, it's your turn!"
Tony reassured the Captain before turning to Banner!
"Excuse me, everyone stand back!"
Banner immediately responded to Tony's cue and began focusing his emotions!
Roar!
Banner' body suddenly began to slowly turn green! In a blink of an eye, he grew into a massive green monster! His roar echoed through the entire helicarrier!
...
"Sir, Doctor Banner has gone crazy! He is currently wreaking havoc!"
Hill noticed that something was wrong when she heard Banner's roar. She immediately reported it to Nick Fury!
"Fuck, what are you waiting for! Go kick these motherfucker off my helicarrier! Also, send some guards to Loki's cell. Don't let him escape in the chaos!"
Nick Fury barked his orders as he casually fired two shots at the assailants that attacked him!
When it rains, it pours. Everything had gone beyond Nick Fury's control. Loki had indeed schemed something! And he probably wanted to escape amidst the chaos!
Nick Fury obviously didn't want Loki's plan to succeed, so after he knocked down two more intruders, he shouted, "Where are Stark and the others? Hurry up and get them to help out!"
...
Overall, the plot didn't seem to change all that much. Despite the current number and power level of Justice League's members on the helicarrier far exceeded the Avengers in the movie, they didn't unleash their full strength due to Tony's schemes!
And Banner even obediently transformed into Hulk, making great destruction and troubling the crews!
However, Banner was able to influence Hulk's thoughts this time around, so Hulk was only breaking things and avoided causing casualties! Moreover, Thor fought Hulk while holding back his strength!
Meanwhile, Tony obediently followed Nick's command to stabilize the failing engine!
And Loki had successfully broken out of his prison!
"Hah, I guess this is the extent of those puny insects!"
Having escaped the helicarrier, Loki couldn't help but feel excited about the success of his schemes!
"Someone is coming!"
Suddenly, Loki noticed that several people were rushing at him!
"The time for games is over. It's time to get serious. Where my army go, war follows. I shall rule this realm yet!"
Loki was confident that the chaos he had caused was enough. Moreover, Banner had lost control and turned into Hulk just as planned! This hot mess would keep them occupied for a while!
Loki did felt a little suspicious—he felt that the chaos had started before he even interfered! But Loki, the God of Mischief, was fully confident in his own schemes! He simply accepted that his plan worked and immediately worked his way to leave the helicarrier, ready to proceed to the next phase: opening the wormhole to summon the Chitauri army and invade the planet!
