One year has passed since Ben's wedding with Amelia and Mariam.
Meanwhile, on the side of an unknown place, is an underground base.
Dr. Selvig and his team were immersed in their work on the Tesseract Cube, but suddenly the energy levels of the cosmic artifact began to surge unexpectedly. Everyone started panicking, not knowing what to do, what to do in this situation.
Dr. Selvig, seeing the urgency of the situation, he ordered the scientists and agents present in the facility, "Call Nick Fury, and also became ready to evacuate from here."
One of the panicked agents hurriedly reached for communication devices, and called Nick Fury, and started explaining the problem.
Nick Fury ordered them to evacuate from the place, while he started coming there.
Agents scrambled to exit the premises while Fury rushed to the scene in a helicopter.
The group descended to the underground section of the Research Headquarters, where the Tesseract testing was underway. Fury, joined by Clint Barton, appeared in front of Tesseract and Dr. Selvig.
"What happened, Doctor?" Fury questioned, he was also concerned about this unknown.
"It's releasing massive energy, Gamma Radiation is about to erupt, and it will destroy everything here," Dr. Selvig warned, his eyes fixed on the unpredictable power of the Tesseract.
Clint Barton looked at Tesseract and felt something, and recognised it, he explained, "It's also acting as a gateway to another place. I believe something is happening on the other side."
The Tesseract Cube emitted a brilliant light as it unleashed a surge of energy, forming a portal. Through this dazzling gateway appeared another individual—a figure holding a spear adorned with a magical gem.
As the portal revealed Loki, Nick Fury and the S.H.I.E.L.D agents shifted their focus, guns trained on the Asgardian intruder.
"Who are you? And drop your weapon," Nick Fury demanded, raising his gun in response to Loki's arrival.
"I am Loki, from Asgard," Loki calmly said, then using his spear, he unleashes a burst of energy, attacking the S.H.I.E.L.D agents.
"Loki from Asgard, Thor's brother?" Dr. Selvig said, looking confused.
"Yes," Loki replied, then he tapped his spear on the front side, where a mysterious Gem was put, on Eric Selvig, Clint Barton, and a few agents. They didn't know what happened to them, but they started following his command.
"What have you done to them?" Nick Fury questioned, while trying to take the Tesseract Cube.
"I have come to give all of you freedom," Loki replied, kicking Nick Fury aside and taking hold of the Tesseract Cube.
Fury seeing, he was unable to take Tesseract, he activated the self-destruction protocol for the headquarters.
But since Loki has already controlled Clint and a few agents' minds, he knows what happened. And with the help of them, he escaped before the headquarters collapsed.
Despite Nick Fury and his S.H.I.E.L.D agents' efforts, they were not able to stop his escape.
Fury, recognizing the gravity of the situation, issued a critical command, "Call everyone, Avengers Initiative."
.....
Meanwhile, back in the Crown Haven Villa, Ben was again busy tinkering with some device, and Mariam looking at him, asked, "What are you doing, my love?"
"I've created this PCD device. It contains the map of Universe 613. Once fused with the Upgrade TV, it will display not only Earth's locations but also those of nearby planets and solar systems. It can even show us the locations of nearby life-bearing planets," Ben explained.
Amelia's eyes lit up with excitement as an idea struck her. "Ben, let's go share this with Dad! I have an amazing idea for using the PCD device."
"Ok dear," Ben nodded.
After getting ready, they hopped into the Mariam Interstellar car and set off towards Washington DC, heading to the William family mansion to share their innovative idea with Amelia's father.
Soon, the family was gathered in the discussion room.
"So dear, you want to start a space travel agency," Stephen asked, looking at Mariam, Amelia and Ben.
"Yes dad, Ben has created an amazing device called PCD. It encompasses a detailed map of the entire solar system around Earth, and it can capture information about life-bearing planets. It will be a great help for us, and we can successfully tour the people on the other planet," Amelia nodded.
Stephen became silent for a few seconds, while thinking about it, then he asked, "What about the safety of the people?"
"Dad, we have already planned for it, first we will start the testing. And we have already planned to create the spacesuit, which was created and designed by Ben. Since, even the spaceship will be personally created by him," Mariam explained.
The room fell into a momentary silence as Stephen processed the information. After a thoughtful pause, he spoke, "Amelia, Ben, I appreciate your innovative thinking. This is indeed a bold step, but I can see the potential it holds for the company. Let's take this opportunity and embrace the future. I approve of the plan, and will take care of all the process, you guys will focus on creating the spaceship and suits."
"Thanks dad," Amelia, Mariam and Ben nodded.
They were discussing how to make this company famous, which was started from scratch. They were disturbed by the news.
It was the news about Loki. Loki was openly strolling on 28 Konigstrasse in Stuttgart, Germany.
People were panicked, gathering in one place, while Loki conjured three doppelgangers of himself. He commanded the public, "Kneel down before me."
The crowd quickly agreed, but an old man didn't agree to Loki's demand, and shouted, "I will not kneel in front of you."
"So, you are going to stand before me," Loki said, then he created an energy from his scepter, and attacked the old man.
However, before the energy hits him, a guy lands in front of the old man with a shield. And he was able to deflect the destructive force.
He was none other than Captain America, the hero of old time, with his Vibranium shield. People started cheering for Captain America.
"So, you will stop me," Loki gave a mocking laugh, and fired an energy beam on Steve.
"Yes, I will stop you," Steve said, while dodging his beam, and threw his shield towards Loki in an attacking manner.
Soon, the clashes started between them, but when the clash was going to become bigger.
Iron Man arrived on the scene, he jumped in the middle of Steve and Loki, while his missile pointed at Loki. "Will you surrender, or I will make you surrender," He asked looking at Loki.
"Ok, I will surrender," Loki said, while seeing, he was alone here in front of Captain America and Iron Man.
Tony apprehended the Asgardian mischief-maker. With Steve, they escorted Loki to the awaiting Quinjet, a sleek aircraft.
The Quinjet's engines roared, and it ascended into the sky, carrying Loki away from the chaos he had incited. The city below slowly returned to normal, but the memory of this scene leaves the onlookers with a mix of awe and relief.
"Heroes saved the day," Amelia remarked, seeing the scene, her eyes fixed on the TV screen where Loki had surrendered.
"I don't think, Amelia," Ben warned, "I have the fair share of fighting the villain's experience. And I know Villains only surrendered when they were not able to win."
"And since Loki surrendered himself easily; it's like he has a plan," he explained, his mind analyzing the situation.
Stephen was also experienced, he nodded in agreement. "Indeed, given his mastery of magic, Loki wouldn't be easily captured."
"Well, whatever it is, it's not our problem," Evelyn interjected, bringing the focus back to their plan.
Soon, the conversation returned back to the date of starting the company, its advertisement, and everything about it.
After the discussion was completed, after exchanging goodbyes with the family, Ben, Amelia and Mariam made their way back to Crown Haven Villa in New York.
Two months had slipped by since the dramatic events surrounding Loki's capture, and life on Earth had returned to normal. The routines of everyone became the same, busy in their lives, work and family.
However, this peace was shattered, when an unexpected emergency alert flashed across the Upgrade TV. The screen flickered to life, revealing a distressing scene.
Adjacent to the STARK tower, a mysterious machine powered by the Tesseract Cube. It unleashed a surge of energy into the sky, capturing the attention of everyone. It created a portal in the sky.
And from the portal, a massive alien army came out. The abrupt reappearance of such extraterrestrial forces, makes humanity panicked.
People didn't know what to do, they started thinking Apocalypse had arrived. Everyone started running here and there, and didn't know what to do.
"What are they, Ben?" Amelia inquired, although she was Emperor Inhuman. But even then, she didn't know what they were. She noticed some of the aliens advancing towards their home.
"Don't worry, dear, since I'm here," Ben hugged her, his fingers gently tangling in her hair as he tried to comfort her. "They're nothing more than ants to me," he added with a confident smile.
"Still, what were they?" Amelia again questioned, while observing how the defenses of Crown Haven Villa efficiently neutralized the advancing aliens, preventing them from reaching towards their Villa.
"They're called the Chitauri Army," Ben explained, both of them watching the Upgrade TV closely as numerous Chitauri descended from the portal. He was ready to take action.
But he stopped when he noticed Tony Stark, donning his Iron Man suit. He utilized its advanced weaponry to blast many of the Chitauri out of the sky while rescuing people from the debris of collapsing buildings.
The Upgrade TV screen split into different segments, showcasing the varied actions of the heroes. In one part, Captain America demonstrated his combat prowess, wielding his Vibranium shield to defeat numerous Chitauri aliens.
Thor, wielding Mjölnir, unleashed powerful blasts and strikes against the aliens. Meanwhile, Hawkeye fired his arrows to eliminate Chitauri threats from a distance. Natasha, utilizing both combat skills and advanced laser bolts, defeated the aliens in her path.
However, this happiness of the public will quickly fade, when more Chitauri Army pour out of the portal.
Amidst the chaos, Tony Stark, locked in combat with a group of aliens, communicated over the comms, "Steve, where are you?"
Steve Rogers was fighting with a multitude of aliens while safeguarding civilians. "I'm dealing with an alien horde," he replied, using his vibranium shield to repel attackers and engaging in close combat.
Natasha Romanoff, after successfully neutralizing Chitauri' some aliens. "What the hell are these things?" she muttered under her breath, but she had no time to rest, she again engaged in fighting with another alien.
Hawkeye, blasting many aliens through his arrows, shouted, "Whatever they are, I won't let them leave here alive."
Thor soared through the sky, wielding his mighty hammer to decimate the alien invaders. Lightning crackled and thunder resonated as he engaged in the fierce battle. "There are so many of them," he remarked as he made his way toward his brother on the STARK tower.
He confronted Loki, and shouted at him, "Loki, stop the Tesseract, or I'll destroy it!"
Loki gave a mocking smile to him, "You can't stop it; now only war shall unfold."
"If you want war, then let's it be," Thor shouted, and both engaged in a battle.
Tony, in the midst of the chaos, shouted, "Call me when the Hulk arrives; we may need all the firepower we can muster!"
While these heroes demonstrated their valor, civilians scattered in panic, seeking refuge from the alien onslaught.
In the midst of the chaotic battle, Tony Stark confronted the colossal Chitauri Leviathan, using his suit's advanced weapon to injure him. But he was unable to even do a little bit of damage.
"See, what you have done," Thor shouted at Loki, seeing the massive destruction around New York.
"Yes, I know, and even if I wanted to stop it now, it was late," Loki said looking at the scene.
"No, we can stop it together," Thor said, while he put his hand on his brother's shoulder. Seizing the opportunity, Loki inserted a knife in Thor's stomach, and escaped from there.
Thor, witnessing his brother slipping away, refocused his attention on the Chitauri onslaught, determined to destroy them and protect Earth.
