《A Twist Of Marvel || Infinity War》11. The Godfather
Advertisement
It had been a full day of planning. After Naomi had given Tony her lecture on half of the universe's upcoming demise, they decided to sleep on it, and come back in the morning. Of course, neither one had actually slept, so the 'morning' began at around 4:00 am. Several cups of coffee paired with the serious problem they faced kept them sufficiently awake until midnight, when they officially decided to get some rest. The majority of their plan had been formalized during the day, so they were actually able to sleep this time around.
Glancing around Tony's shiny lab, Naomi appreciated the fruits of their labor. The lounge had simply been too casual for their task, and the lab had better resources. The holograms had been put into use, several different boards highlighting the locations of all six infinity stones, excluding that of the soul stone. Naomi had disclosed the location to Tony verbally, along with the condition that came along with obtaining the stone, and the two had decided to keep it off the records. Along with the stones they placed information regarding the whereabouts of the missing Captain America, Black Widow, and Falcon. Tony insisted that he would call the Captain later, though Naomi had doubts sincere failed to do so when aliens invaded during Infinity War. The location of Wanda and Vision had also been traced by Tony thanks to Naomi's handy footage of their new hangout. A general idea of where the nation of Wakanda was was laid out on a holographic map, though contacting T'Challa would probably be one of the easiest parts of their mission.
Naomi had felt worse about telling Tony the whereabouts of Scott Lang and Hope van Dyne, seeing as recruiting them would no doubt be complicated and mess up Scott's house arrest. Tony had been the one to find Clint in his new farmhouse, and Naomi felt equally as guilty about pulling him away from his family, but she knew it was necessary.

Tony had also been ecstatic to learn that Naomi also knew exactly where Bruce, or rather the Hulk was, and that he was doing quite well on an alien planet.
At the moment, Tony was busy with a video call with Rhodey- that Naomi was seriously contemplating snooping on because its War Machine- and Naomi was left to her own devices at Tony's desk. Of course, all of his technology was too complicated for Naomi's lazy ass, so she settled with looking through the internet trying to find information that probably didn't exist.
Their biggest problem at the moment was contacting everyone who was currently floating around in space. The Guardians where who-knows-where, and Thor was flying around trying to find the infinity stones that Earth already had two of. There was only one method Naomi had found so far that could get a message to Thor, but it was iffy at best. Naomi swiveled in her chair as she supposed that it was the best shot they had, and also the worst. Their only shot, if you will.
Naomi paused her swiveling when she noticed Tony end the video call out of the corner of her eye, stopping herself mid-swing. Thankfully the Iron Man didn't seem to notice, yawning as he approached her, or rather his, desk.
"Tell me you've got some good news Hepburn." He said, leaning on the desktop as he peered over at her phone screen, curious as to what she had to offer. Scoffing lightly, Naomi swiped her phone away, smiling coyly as he rolled his eyes at her behavior. She could see the hints of a smile in his expression however, so Naomi wasn't buying the whole 'annoyed' act.
"You're so gonna love this."

"HEIMDALL!" Naomi screamed for the umpteenth time. Her throat was starting to give out from all the yelling.

The two were currently sat on the facility roof, literally yelling into the sky for what had been an hour. The only method Naomi could think of was getting Heimdall's attention, who could then relay their message to Thor.
"THANOS IS COMING!" Naomi yelled, cupping her hands around her mouth. "THOR NEEDS TO COME TO EARTH! ODIN IS HERE TOO!" Exhausted, Naomi allowed herself to slump onto her back, staring at the morning sky that refused to reply.
"I was promised that I would love this. I want a refund." Tony sassed from beside her, propping himself up on his hands as he lounged out on the roof. He was sporting a pair of fashionable sunglasses alongside Naomi, who had managed to get her hands on a SHIELD uniform so she didn't stay in pajamas the whole time. They were comfy, sure, but hopefully they would be receiving company soon, and Naomi didn't want to be in sweatpants she she met the God of Thunder.
"Oh don't give me that. You were laughing your ass off when we first started this." Naomi sassed right back. Once Tony learned that Naomi's plan was standing on the roof and screaming, he had himself a right good time laughing at her as she attracted the attention of several SHIELD workers on the grounds below. Red-faced, Naomi passed the task off to Tony, who was way too excited about yelling off of a roof, and somehow appeared much cooler than Naomi had.
"That was before you stopped letting me go off-script."
"You couldn't stop quoting The Godfather," Naomi laughed.
"You come into my house on the day my daughter is to be married-"
"Dear God."
Their banter was cut shot however, as a giant beam of light hit the ground in the fields of the facility. Scrambling to stand up, their movie quotes forgotten, Tony and Naomi rushed to the side of the building, looking down onto the scene.
The light disappeared as quickly as it came, leaving its trademark Asgardian symbols in a circle burnt into the well-kept grass. In it's center, Thor Odinson himself stood, his long blonde hair swaying in the breeze.
Naomi couldn't help herself from staring in awe for a couple seconds, before remembering that another Avenger was also right next to her. Sheepishly, she glanced at Tony, who looked amused at her clear admiration for the God.
"Shut up."
"I didn't say anything," Tony grinned.
Turning their attention back to Thor, they watched as he made his way toward the building, unconsciously intimidating several employees on his way. It was almost a strange sight for Naomi- Thor wielding Mjolnir with his long hair still intact. However there wasn't time to dwell on it, for it was clear that Thor was currently hyped up for battle when they had none to offer him. All it took was a glance between Naomi and Tony for them to rush to the elevator to greet Thor before someone tried to interfere and got tazed.

A (Not So) Simple Fetch Quest
Oh great hero! The evil Demon Lord has once again arisen to terrorise our lands, and we have summoned you to save our people! No, we don't want you to fight the demon lord! Of course not; we're the good guys! What sort of good guys kidnap people from other worlds and force them to take part in wars that have nothing to do with them? That would just be plain evil! We'd be no better than the demons! Katie, after her summoning by an excessively loud mage suddenly takes an unexpected twist, is sent off on a simple fetch quest, with a promise that she'll be back home in five minutes at most. She doesn't even need to leave the building. Alas, when a goddess' blessing causes her wish for an actual adventure to be taken rather more literally than she expected, she finds herself lost in a dark cave, far away from the sword she was supposed to acquire and far too close to a population of giant bugs. Still, at least she wished her life wasn't in any danger. Among other things. Be careful what you wish for. You might just get it. This is a dark litRPG adventure, both in terms of Katie accidentally wishing all the lights out, and also in that she loses as often as she wins, often with horrific and disturbing consequences. Luckily, Katie isn’t the sort of person to let a mere grizzly death or two get her down, and is prepared to try, try and try again to get her hands on the holy sword and finally complete her ‘simple’ fetch quest. Or perhaps—with a few resistance skills under her nightie—she might even come to enjoy losing. Not that she’d ever consider forgoing revenge, even if she did. I’ve ticked all the content warning checkboxes for this one. There’s no explicit sexual content, but there are enough references to justify the warning. Profanity happens rarely, but Katie isn’t averse to swearing when she gets particularly angry. As for gore/trauma, it doesn’t get much worse than the first few chapters, but there will be occasional chapters that have extra content warnings.
