"The latest news." Nick Fury called Thor's communicator while he was staying at Stark Tower. "The Luft Prison has been invaded."
"Well, do you need help?" Thor was a little confused by Nick's incoherent words and asked based on his own understanding.
"No, I just want to tell you that the person who invaded Raft Prison was your brother Loki!"
Nick's words froze the expression on Thor's face, and Tony and Banner beside him also cast curious glances at him.
"Loki?" Thor asked in disbelief.
"Yes, he also brought a very powerful thug, Thaddeus Ross, who is in charge of this prison. The powerful team he formed failed to stop the other party. I have sent the video recording to you, and I need the information from your side. Listen, Thor, this is a serious matter, you must tell us more information, without any concealment! I am on the way now and will meet you soon." Nick said seriously on the other side of the receiver.
However, Thor could no longer listen to Nico's subsequent words. All he could think about was his kidnapped brother. Yes, he had always believed that his brother Loki had disappeared in the chaos and been kidnapped. Hearing this news, he was completely refreshed.
…
"Loki came to play with me."
The first thing Thor said when he saw Nick rushing over was very confident.
"I don't care if he's here to see you or revisit his old haunts, but you have to admit he's a disaster! Every time he comes, he brings trouble and invaders! Last time it was the Chitauri, this time it's the Alliance. Can't he just be quiet? Why is he picking on us?" Nick said with a headache. The appearance of such a troublesome figure clearly meant they had been noticed. This only added to his already anxious and irritated state.
"Let me go! He may have been forced and had no choice. I will go and bring him back." Thor was also a little embarrassed. After all, it sounded like his younger brother had done another "big thing" this time.
"I'm afraid it's not a question of whether we can bring it back or not, but we have to be prepared to deal with trouble." Nick looked helpless when he heard this.
"If I remember correctly, Loki was temporarily detained in Raft Prison before he was handed over to Asgard. Could it be that he missed the friends he made there and wanted to go back and see them?" Tony had learned about this from Thor before, but Thor was completely bewildered. However, with his intellect, it wasn't hard to guess what Loki was planning by attacking the prison.
"Yeah, not only did he go back to see those old friends, he also took some with him! Ross was very stern when we spoke. He believes that S.H.I.E.L.D. and I bear at least half the responsibility this time, because it was us who let Loki go." Nick snorted coldly. General Ross was originally promoted to Secretary of State, but unfortunately, he didn't stay in the position for long. After Captain America took over, he was sent to Luft Prison as a guard. This time, it was clear that the other party was trying to shift the blame.
"What's his goal? Loki's goal this time can't be to conquer us again, right? Could it be that he's found a new backer?" Dr. Banner interrupted. The Hulk in him still liked that little brother. At least he could take a beating.
"That's what I want to know too." Nick said with a serious expression.
"Perhaps Malekith has set his sights on you, otherwise he would not have sent out his dark warriors." Thor gave his own thoughts.
Nick stared at Thor's face and said, "Let's ignore these things for now. I want to know, can you find your brother? We must find the other party as soon as possible and take the initiative into our own hands. Otherwise, waiting for the other party to make a move is too passive."
"I can give it a try. I used to play hide-and-seek with him when we were kids, so I have plenty of experience finding my brother." Thor nodded. He did have his own experience and luck in finding his brother. All he needed was a general area and direction!
"How's Ross doing? Is he alright?" Tony's words sounded like a caring greeting, but if one listened carefully, everyone present, including the straightforward Thor, could detect a tinge of gloating. After all, as a former military radical, he had caused him and his Stark Industries considerable embarrassment and trouble. So, even though he knew it was wrong to gloat at this moment, Tony couldn't resist a few words of greeting.
"I dispatched two elite teams of agents to help him temporarily control the situation, but the situation remains grim. Abomination, Dario Agger, Vulture, and at least a dozen other dangerous super criminals have been released, leaving with Loki." Nick couldn't help but feel a headache coming back as he thought of the list of escapees. With this group of super criminals gathered together, and Loki stirring up trouble, Nick could already imagine the chaos that was about to unfold.
It might not be as urgent or terrifying as the last Chitauri invasion, but it would undoubtedly be more difficult to deal with. Nico would rather Loki chose to confront them head-on like last time, rather than just vanish and hide after making such a big move.
"Does Luke know this information?" asked Dr. Banner.
"Luke, including the captain, I notified everyone immediately. What we are not sure about now is what Loki wants to do next?" Nick said, his eyes looking at Thor.
"Don't look at me. My younger brother has always been very scheming. I have no idea what he is thinking sometimes." Thor spread his hands helplessly.
…
"They must be looking for us all over the world now, guessing what we will do next." Inside the airship, Loki sat slightly sideways in his chair, his elbows resting on the armrests, his fists clenched and resting on the side of his face. With a mocking smile on his handsome face, he said to the people around him.
"I don't care about that. You promised me that I could have another fight with Hulk." The huge body of Abomination sat on the ground and said in a muffled voice.
"I want revenge on Norman Osborn!" Vulture, who was thin and wearing prison clothes, said in a sharp voice.
"I don't care. As long as it's against Heberon and S.H.I.E.L.D., I'm fine with it." Dario said with a deep smile, "I still have a certain influence in Roxxon Enterprises."
The other super criminals also voiced their demands. Simply put, the consensus can be roughly understood as: stir up trouble! Revenge! Fight!
"In that case, there is a goal that is very suitable for you. All your demands can be met there." Loki smiled and stated the goal plan under the gaze of everyone.
"Capture Hebron!"
