《A Twist Of Marvel || Infinity War》12. Resident Prophet
Advertisement
Naomi rocked on the balls of her feet inside the glass elevator, watching the floors travel above them. Light music played in the background, covering the comfortable silence that currently rested between her and Tony. Since they had entered the lift, Tony's sunglasses converted themselves into regular glasses, much to Naomi's jealousy. Her own shades were placed squarely on top of her head, occasionally reflecting light around the surprisingly large elevator.
"I should probably talk him down before-" Tony began.
"I tell him he's a movie character?" Naomi offered, finishing his sentence.
"Probably for the best." He agreed just as the doors opened, sounding with a light ding. The moment they entered the bottom floor, the pair could make out Thor's deep voice, clearly asking for directions to 'the battle.' He was surprisingly polite, considering the circumstances, but Naomi expected no less of her favorite God of Thunder.
A glance from Tony told Naomi to hang out around the corner as he entered the main lobby of the Avengers facility. The lobby, along with the rest of the architecture, was extremely modern and sophisticated, featuring glass and metal paneling as its strong suits, Peeking her head around the corner, Naomi watched Tony approach the front desk, where Thor was still speaking to a much shorter and smaller receptionist. The poor man seemed intimidated by the sheer size of Thor, which most men probably would be, Naomi thought.
"Point Break, glad you could make it." Tony greeted, opening his arms in a gesture of grandeur, as if Infinity War was a fancy party. At the sound of Tony's voice, Thor turned around with a trademark smile, laughing deeply as he copied Tony's pose.
"Stark! Good to see you, ah- where is your suit?" Thor questioned, one hand idly swinging Mjolnir back and forth as he stood. Naomi couldn't see Tony's expression from where she stood, but she could imagine it well enough by his overdramatic sigh.
"Currently in the works. I'm afraid that we're in a bit of a time crunch here, so walk with me, will you?" Tony gestured ahead, in the direction of Naomi. Afraid of being spotted listening in by either of them, Naomi quickly ducked around, smoothing down her shiny new SHIELD uniform. She could still hear Thor's booming voice questioning about the nonexistent battle, confused as to why he was called to Earth.

"Never mind that, i've got something way more interesting." Tony replied, rounding the corner with Thor at his side. Naomi straightened at the sight of them, and judging from Tony's overly amused expression, he would tease her about it later. But she couldn't think of that now, focusing on keeping her composure in front of Thor, who was still slightly confused, but rolling with it exceptionally well.
"Point Break, this is Audrey Hepburn- our resident prophet. Hepburn, meet Point Break." Tony's less-then-serious introduction immediately calmed Naomi's nerves, staring at Tony with a sarcastically unamused face before turning her attention back to Thor. Who, bless him, took Tony seriously and extended a hand to Naomi, smiling politely.
"Lady Hepburn, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am Thor, son of Odin." Naomi would have been lying if she claimed not to have blushed slightly she shook his hand. It was no doubt the most gentlemanly sentence ever said to her, by an extremely attractive King/God no less. Thankfully, she calmed herself with a quietly deep breath, and by avoiding eye contact with Tony, who was probably having a hard time not laughing at her pink face.
"It's a privilege to meet you Thor," Naomi began, replicating his politeness. The least polite member of their group was now audibly holding in laughter as Naomi continued to curse him in her mind. "But i'm afraid Tony introduced me by a... nickname. My real name is Naomi Swanson." Naomi clasped her hands in front of her, exhaling as her face returned to its normal color.
"Ah, I see. Then it is a pleasure to meet you, Naomi daughter of Swan." Thor nodded to her, and for the first time Naomi glanced over to Tony and shared a look. She supposed her name could be interpreted that way, but neither of her parents were named Swan. However, she wasn't about to correct the King of Asgard twice in one conversation- so she dropped it with a smile.
"Well that's all fun and games. Shall we, Hepburn?" Tony smirked at the two of them, enjoying the blackmail he would probably use on Naomi later. She shot a light glare, scrunching her nose at him so he knew not to mess with her. Though they both chuckled to themselves at their antics as they began to lead Thor to the lab. Technically, Tony was leading since Naomi didn't know her way around the place, but she still wanted to feel important.

"No flash photography, please." Tony gestured his hand at Thor, though the man clearly was not holding a camera. Naomi rolled her eyes as they entered the lab, their holographic plans put away for the moment.
"So, if there is no battle, why was I contacted by Heimdall?" Thor asked, setting down his hammer on Tony's desk, efficiently trapping several files.
"Because we asked him to." Naomi answered, preparing to switch into lecture mode for the second time during her trip to the Marvel dimension. Thor would need to be informed of the majority of what she told Tony before they explained their plan. In all honesty, if Naomi needed to do long lectures every time she encountered a Marvel character, she would lose her voice by the time Thanos even showed up.
"You know of Heimdall? You must be a powerful prophet." Thor's tone turned serious as he contemplated her potential 'prophet powers.'
"Yes she is." "No, i'm not a- Tony!" They said simultaneously. Naomi shot a look of annoyance at the billionaire, who only shrugged in response.
"Im sorry, are you two related?" Thor asked, pointing between them with an entertained look.
"Oh, um, no." Naomi said, her tone softer as she was thrown by the question. If she had looked at Tony, she would have seen him equally surprised. Thor only hummed in response, seemingly a little surprised himself at Naomi's answer.
"Uh, let's get back on track." Tony cut through the silence, gesturing for Naomi to begin her speech. Naomi huffed at the prospect of talking for so long, but being in the same room as two Marvel superheroes was giving her energy. Not to mention her cup of coffee that morning.
"So, what do you know about Infinity stones?" She began, folding her hands together as she took on a professor-like posture. Her knowledge was the only advantage she held in this world of superheroes, so she took it seriously. Thor's face darkened at her question, and he thought about it carefully before he answered.
"I know of the six stones. Space, Reality, Power, Mind, Time, and Soul." Naomi nodded along as he spoke, encouraging him to elaborate. "I was wandering the galaxy when Heimdall contacted me, searching for the Power, Time and Soul stones, though I could not find anything." Thor finished.
"Oh, well we know exactly where those are." Tony piped up, resting his elbows on his desk as he leaned over it. Thor raised his eyebrows at this, no doubt shocked that Tony knew the exact location of the infinity stones Thor could not find. However Thor was never one to hold a grudge against a friend, or even a literally backstabbing brother in most cases.
"Excellent, my quest is completed then. Where are they?" He clapped his hands together, pleased with the news.
"Well, there's a lot you need to know before we get into that." Naomi sighed, cracking her neck as she led them all to sit down. She would be doing enough standing when she used the holographs for introducing other heroes and such.
"Do tell, young prophet."
"I'm not actually a- well, actually I do know the future..."

Everyone is a Superhero! Apart from me
Welcome to Loktharma, where everybody is a superhero from birth. That makes Eugene De Lavet the most special of them all. At eighteen years old, he still has no clue what his superpower is. Loktharma has never been a fair world. There are Worldbreakers who were born to brandish the power of the universe, warp time-space, destroy lands and continents. There are Craftmasters who control the elements and terrorize countries with their might and wits. There are Commoners who are only gifted with power for the finer arts, architecture, military arts, or small-scale elemental manipulation. Even in an unjust world like Loktharma, there is always one constant: everyone is assigned a Flair since birth; the power to do something extraordinary. And then there's Eugene. He's been running around in a secluded forest since birth, training and sparring his ass off. While he can wield a blade better than most at his age, he certainly can't throw a giant boulder using the power of his mind, or turn his skin into diamonds. He has no Flair, no purpose for leveling up his stats, and no idea why General Rizeni Baggardo keeps him confined inside a forest for eighteen years. At least until Lord Pyro—the Craftmaster of Tailiah—unleashes his fury on the forest, searching for a treasure Eugene doesn't even know exists. On a frantic escape for his life, Eugene starts to realize he was a part of something he's been completely oblivious to until now. Along with his companions, Melodi and Azra, he travels the land and unveils the secrets of the world. [The story will be told primarily through the lenses of three main characters, with occasional side character POV chapters. It also draws inspiration from Japanese shounen. So only proceed if you're cool with these aspects.]
