POV: Baldur
Royal College of Genosha.
Two Months After the Fight Against Mr. Sinister.
We had two calm months to compensate for all the trouble that Sinister caused us. In these two months, we managed to improve our weaknesses a bit, we are now much more alert to the spies from Wardog who return home. Unfortunately, there are several ways to move instantly from one place to another in this universe, and we cannot protect ourselves against all of them.
Amora suggested that the only way for this to stop happening would be to send all of Genosha to a separate dimension from ours, so we could fully control who enters and who leaves it, a good idea, but practically impossible to be carried out at the moment. Of course, we haven't stopped looking for solutions yet.
As for the mutants. They returned to their normality, Xavier returned to his school, but he is very attentive to Magneto's actions now. After a month, we managed to complete the constructions of a small city on the planet where the mutants will be able to live, all the basic systems such as sewage, water and energy were also created using the technology of Genosha.
We planted practically all types of vegetables found on Earth in large quantities, due to our technology, it won't take long for them to be harvested. We also moved a large amount of supplies there, food, medicines and other useful materials. This reassured Magneto quite a bit, who still thought that I was going to imprison all the mutants on another planet and forget them there, I also suggested giving several drones of the same type that patrol our streets to help maintain order, but he thought that this could be another form of control and denied me.
The portal was also set up on a small remote island in the Pacific, taking care of its defense using drones and a force field around the entire island to avoid being detected. As S.H.I.E.L.D has a great surveillance over us, they managed to see this great movement, but they couldn't find out the purpose of it. We also lent several ships from Genosha to them, these ships are equipped with a camouflage making them practically invisible, this is how they will bring the mutants to the island.
After everything was ready, Magneto wanted to make a big announcement about the new home of the mutants. But I suggested that he wait a little, this was not the right time to do this, if he does this now, it will certainly be a big mess, but if he waits for the event after the Avengers, this can make the attention on him be diminished, the other nations will be very busy at that time, thus giving time to put everything into practice avoiding some problems. Magneto agreed to wait to make the announcement, but he has already started to take mutants to another world secretly, so far he has already taken more than a hundred mutants to the other world without raising suspicions.
I wanted to make the same invitation to the Morlocks, mutants who suffered mutations in the body forcing them to live in the sewers below the big cities, but I have not yet found evidence of their existence in this world, or they somehow have a good way to hide, as I am a few days away from the invasion, I will not waste much time on this issue.
The invasion would happen this year, I knew the year, but I was not sure about the date, what guided me were the events that happened before it, first the resurgence of Steve, he now lives in a small apartment under the surveillance of S.H.I.E.L.D, I plan to visit him before all the chaos begins.
The other event was the construction of the Stark tower in New York, according to the information from WarDogs, it will be put into operation tomorrow. Of course, my preparation is complete.
So, we are finally in the present days where I am serving as a tour guide.
"This place is simply amazing, compared to it, MIT is a primary school!"
Jane Foster came out of the library in casual clothes, she looked like a child on Christmas day opening presents, next to her was Thor, with a neutral look not understanding the joy that his girlfriend was feeling. As the Bifrost was not destroyed in this reality, the nine realms did not enter into chaos, so Thor has plenty of free time to stay with his girlfriend strengthening their relationship, and to please his girlfriend, Thor brought her to my kingdom as a tourist, so I, as a good host, am accompanying them today.
"Thank you once again for allowing me to enter your kingdom, sir." She thanked me, for the tenth time.
"You're welcome, Jane. But I've already told you to call me by my name, it's a bit strange for my brother's girlfriend to call me sir." I say kindly.
"It's a bit strange to call a king by his name."
"You do realize that I am also a prince, don't you?" Thor says to her on the side.
"You don't act like a prince." Jane retorted.
"Let's go to the next place. I guarantee you will like it a lot, Jane." I say, seeing Thor's "hurt" face.
The Royal College of Genosha is the size of a small city, an artificial island within the territory of Genosha was built to be its location, everyone in Genosha has the right to study here for free, but if they want to go to Wakanda to study, they are also allowed, we also receive young people from Wakanda.
We passed through the field towards the research building of the university, on the way we saw several young people in their activities, to not draw attention, I hid the three of us from their sight.
We arrived in front of the research building, more than twenty floors, each with a research area.
"We have arrived. If I remember correctly, the tenth floor is all about astrophysics research."
"Let's go, Thor."
Jane started to pull Thor towards the entrance and I stayed outside laughing at my brother, the mighty Thor, being dragged by a simple mortal.
"My Princes, Your king asks for your presence." I hear Heimdall's voice, and so does my brother, as he stopped walking with Jane.
"Is everything okay?" She asked.
"Yes, I just remembered that I have to talk to my brother. Why don't you go ahead." He replied, forcing a smile.
Jane's intuition is strong, she realized that it was something more serious than a simple conversation, but seemed to accept without asking questions, she kissed Thor on the cheek, and went towards the entrance.
"Don't take too long." She said before entering.
"You do realize that the idea of you hiding this romance from our father's eyes is a bit ridiculous, don't you?"
"I am aware that our father already knows about Jane, but knowing and bringing her before him, are two completely different things." Thor replied, facing me.
"Any idea why our father is calling us?" He asked.
"I don't know, but undoubtedly he wouldn't do it if it wasn't something very important."
Suddenly, a lightning bolt fell from the sky, hitting Thor and transforming his ordinary clothes into armor and a red cape, and now Mjolnir is in his hands.
I extend my hand, and Sigel comes to me, and when I grab it, my body lights up, and a golden armor also appears with a red cape similar to Thor's. I look up and say.
"Heimdall, open the Bifrost."
At the same moment, a column of light of various colors appears above us, covering us, and then pulling us at a speed greater than that of light, a second later, we were standing in the control room of the Bifrost, where Heimdall was standing holding his sword with his entire body covered by his armor.
"Welcome back, my princes." He greeted us.
We didn't spend much time talking to him, we flew through Asgard towards the castle, landed at the entrance of the castle, and arrived at the royal hall where we saw Odin sitting on his throne wearing simple clothes, he looked much younger than in the movies, since I gave him some of my energy.
"Father." "Father."
We both greeted him, but I didn't kneel like Thor.
"My sons, come with me."
Without saying anything else, he got up from his throne and started walking through the palace, and we both followed him walking calmly. Odin took us to a balcony, below us, there was a large courtyard where Asgard's elite soldiers trained, none of them caught my attention, except for Sif, who was fighting against six soldiers at the same time, and with an advantage.
Odin was silent for a few seconds observing the scene, and then spoke.
"Loki is alive!"
I look to the side and see Thor in shock.
"Father, how is this possible, we all saw him falling."
"How he survived doesn't matter, but where he is. Your mother sacrificed much of her energy to be able to locate him in a place very distant from the realms, a dark place, even for my vision, or that of Heimdall."
My mother, Freyja Freyrdottir, is not as weak as shown in the movies, now that I know that she used her powers to search for Loki throughout the universe, this is why she was killed so easily in the second Thor movie, at least that's my theory.
"Father, we have to go after him immediately."
If Odin had nodded, Thor would immediately fly towards Loki.
"It won't be necessary. He is coming to us, and with an army under his command."
"Do you think he will attack Asgard?" Thor asks, shocked.
"Loki wants to be king of Asgard, not to destroy it. There is only one place in the nine realms that he wants to destroy." I speak, entering the conversation.
"Yes. Midgard!" My father agrees with my reasoning.
(I need to confirm if the events of the movie are the same as this reality.)
"Is there any information about the army he commands, father?" I ask.
"They call themselves Chitauri. Beings like them have never set foot in the nine realms, so there isn't much information about them."
(So far, everything is similar.)
"We need to warn the people of Midgard, father, and help them."
My father ignores Thor and turns to face me.
"This is the second reason why I brought Baldur here. Midgard has developed a lot and already has many champions who can defend it. It no longer needs Asgard's assistance for protection. But if you, Baldur, who represents the superior strength of your world, ask for Asgard's help, we will do everything to assist them."
With Asgard's help, we could easily end this war, but that wouldn't be the best for Earth. It needs to be able to defend itself, and the Avengers need to form.
"I think we have to handle this battle on our own, father." I then respond to Odin.
"So be it then."
Odin seemed to understand my decision and agreed with it. But suddenly, his face became serious and cold. The air around us stood still, and I felt an ancient and strong bloodlust from my father. Asgard also felt it; all the air seemed still and hostile, reacting to the fury of its sovereign.
"I will let you and your brother deal with the enemies that invade Midgard, but the center of the enemy army will be left to me. I will remind the universe that I, Odin Borson, am still alive, and the nine realms are under my protection!"
(Now I feel a bit sorry for the Chitauri.)
"Go, my sons, and prepare for war." He speaks, ending our conversation with a wave of his hand.
We return to Genosha, and Thor tells Jane what will happen. They agree that the best place for her would be in Genosha, so I take her to the royal castle, where she would be more protected. I spoke with Amora, and she began to prepare, as did my generals. I refused Asgard's help, but that doesn't mean I won't use my army to reduce the number of deaths during the attack.
The number of deaths during the attack was never clear, but there were certainly many, not to mention the collateral damage caused by the Avengers themselves. With the help of my air force, we can get rid of the Chitauri more easily.
With everyone already warned and all preparations underway, I head towards the United States to meet an old friend.
