-Earth Marvel, Atlantic Ocean, SHIELD's New HQ-
"Any other noticeable changes this past week?" Nick Fury asked Steve Rogers. The two of them were taking a tour of the brand new Helicarrier. They were currently on the upper deck.
Steve flexed his hand tightly. He felt much stronger than he was before. "No sir. Nothing, new at least…"
"That's good at least." Fury muttered. He couldn't quite believe what had happened to Steve Rogers shortly after taking down Dionysus. When did his life become so strange? He missed the days when SHIELD's biggest threats were run of the mill terrorists…
"So this thing can really fly in the sky? How is that possible?" Steve asked as he looked down to the moving ocean below. This carrier was bigger than the largest battleship he had ever set foot on during world war two and somehow it could fly? Steve marveled at how far technology had come.
"Not only can it take to the skies, but it can move very fast as well. Faster than the average commercial airliner. This is meant to be Earth's greatest Sword in the event of an alien incursion. We currently have three more of these being built." Fury said proudly. He was glad that Hydra had been exposed prior to the other three Helicarriers being completed. Had Hydra gotten control of them…it would have been very bad.
Steve wasn't sure how to feel about weapons of war like these. On one hand, he would have preferred they not be built at all, because he was afraid they could be abused. On the other, he saw the footage of the Demon Belial burning down half of Scotland. He knew that humanity needed more firepower to stand up to threats like that.
Even with his new…abilities, Steve couldn't be everywhere at once.
There was a beep on both of their communicators that put an end to their tour.
"Sorry to interrupt, but your guests are waiting for you on the 3rd floor." Coulson's voice echoed in both of their ears.
Fury led the Captain back inside and into the room where the rest of the future team were waiting for him. The Avengers initiative was finally coming together…Too bad Layla had run off to the other Earth and was going to miss the first mission.
Inside the room, Steve saw Tony Stark, along with his new sister Andrea Stark, and Natasha Romanoff.
"Is this everyone?" Steve asked Fury. He was hoping for a few more. He knew that Clint Barton was currently busy with other matters, but Fury should at least have assembled a few more people.
"We have two more members who are a bit delayed." Fury explained. "Thor is supposed to arrive any minute now, our satellites have him flying towards us quickly across the ocean. As for Daredevil… he might not make it. He was attacked by a mind controlling mutant earlier this morning and saved by Layla. He might need some time to mentally recover."
Tony let out a whistle. "Mind controlling mutants? Man this world is getting weird isn't it." He commented out loud while pouring himself a small glass of whisky from the counter. He ignored the glare his new sister was giving him. She had quit drinking during her zombie apocalypse and wanted him to do the same. 'The horror!'
Natasha scowled at SHIELD missing someone so dangerous. "His name was Killgrave, apparently, and he was completely off of our radar. He had the ability to perfectly control anyone who smelled his pheromones. He has thankfully been neutralized."
"Gross…" Andrea commented. "Good riddance." She walked over to Steve to shake his hand since they had not met yet, in this universe at least. "Nice to meet you, Captain. I'm Andrea Stark."
They shook hands and Andrea grimaced for a moment when they did so. She pulled her aching hand back. He was incredibly strong!
"I'm sorry. I forgot how much stronger I am now!" Steve apologized to her.
She waved him off. "It's ok. You are a lot stronger than my old Captain America, that's for sure." Andrea was shocked that he was still so much stronger than her after she became an Asgardian.
"That happened recently." Steve replied.
Fury put his finger to his ear before interrupting them all. "I'll let the Captain here give you all the details. Thor has just landed on the upper deck and I need to go and greet him. He is technically foreign royalty after all…"
Tony gave Steve a curious look. "So you got even stronger? Did you take another dose of the Super Soldier Serum or something?
"That's not what happened." Natasha said. "He got this way after he killed a God."
Tony whistled again. "Hot damn, I need to hear this story!"
Steve let out a sigh before he started to tell them what happened to him. They all listened attentively. Even Natasha because she hadn't heard the full story yet. Fury had kept it above classified after he heard it himself.
"This is what happened…"
…Shortly after Steve had killed the God residing over camp Half-blood, Dionysus, Steve had randomly collapsed to the ground.
He then woke up in a very strange place where everything seemed like a dream. A young girl with purple hair and green eyes was there to greet him. She was shocked that he was even there in the first place because, "she could sense that he wasn't even from her universe."
She told Steve that some powerful being must have sent his soul here, after he ended up slaying a God, to meet her. Since Steve was a human and he had killed a God, Pandora, the life giving mother was able to perform the ritual. Steve was transformed into a Campione, a God Slayer, and Pandora named him as her child.
Shortly after that, his soul was flung back into his body and he woke up much stronger than before. He also had a few other powerful abilities that he instinctively knew how to use.
"So Pandora is a real person huh?" Tony said while rubbing his chin. "And you didn't think to ask her what was in her famous box? Talk about a missed opportunity…" He lamented while shaking his head in pity.
Andrea glared at Tony for being insensitive. "He was probably too busy freaking out. Who cares what was in Pandora's box anyway?"
"It was probably porn," Tony muttered. "Maybe the greatest porn ever recorded!? I bet that was what corrupted humanity!" He said with a grin.
Natasha and Andrea both scoffed at him while Steve just sighed. Their conversation was interrupted when the doors opened up and a very large man with blond hair walked in.
