Avengers who - Part II

The Doctor straightened his bow tie and took a few steps forward looking around casually. He pulled a metal baton with a white handle and a blue tip out of his pocket, he pressed a button on the side and it made an electronic buzzing noise as he held it in front of him and spun around. Before holding it up in front of his face to read something.

“Looks like I landed on something important, Whoops!” he said casually.

“Sir, please drop the…..” began the director,

“That worked brilliantly last time didn’t it!” chimed in the doctor “Alien appears, scary powerful weapon in their hand. Except this isn’t a weapon.” He brandished the probe by his head, “It’s a screwdriver, and so you can put down those guns and listen to me.”

The soldiers lowered their weapons and the director rested on his heels, defiantly crossed his arms across his chest.

“What ever has just run out of the door is carrying something I believe you call a Tesseract and you have been experimenting on it but you have no idea what it is, you think it’s a door but it kind of is except it’s a door on all six sides but its more an entryway without a door so it’s a bit like a doorframe but stuff in the middle so its basically not a door or a doorframe” he garbled, beginning to slow his speech, “it’s more. A thing. With blue stuff in it.” He stood for a second looking at all the blank faces and paused. “That really wasn’t helpful.” He stopped again,

“I know!” He exclaimed, “Take me to your leader!” He beamed,

“I am him” announced the Director

“That was anti-climatic,” muttered the Doctor, “Then take me to your ship!”

The Doctor and the Director stood in the center of the bridge, banks of computers surrounded them and people bustled between them handing out dossiers and giving instructions.

“This is the nerve center” began the Director, “From here we are searching every corner of the planet for the Gamma radiation signature of the Tesseract.”

“What about the interference?” questioned the Doctor “If high levels of interference precedes the opening of some kind of portal then assuming Loki isn’t coming alone he going to need to open it up again” The doctor jumped into an empty wheeled chair and shot across the room into his TARDIS.

From inside the blue box came the sound of clanging mental and breaking wood.

“What we need to track is….” Came the doctors muffled voice. The Director approached the blue box apprehensively.

“The interference as you call it, what I call it, is consecutive spatial rift energy.”

As the Director slowly reached out his hand and pushed the door inwards the Doctor appeared, hair ruffled carrying a large steel hemisphere with several orbs of different colors protruding from it.

“Before you ask, very good storage system!” said the doctor dropping sizeable hemisphere onto the chair and locking the TARDIS behind him.

He pushed the device into the middle of the room and began to pull wires out of various computers and tie them together in a seemingly random order. He seized a passing supervisor and handed the knot of cables to her,

“Can you hold that?” he asked before ducking under her arm and scampering off to collect more bits.

Within a few minutes he had created a large pile of hard drive with wires sticking out everywhere and the hemisphere sitting in the middle.

“This is a very big very powerful thing! ” he announced, gesturing grandly towards his creation.

“It looks like the Frankenstein of ‘things’” Responded the Director

“It does I suppose,” said the doctor, pensively tucking his elbows in and resting his chin on his hand. “Lets hope it’s not as temperamental” he whispered before flinging his arms wide clutching his Sonic Screwdriver. He pressed the button on the screwdriver and the whole machine began to whir. He dashed frantically to a keyboard that stuck randomly out of the side of the machine and began tapping furiously. Next he skipped to a old radio unit sitting on top of a TV showing a series of vertical pink stripes on an green background and poked a few buttons before standing in front of the hemisphere device and poking it with his screwdriver.

The hemisphere began to rise, the case was spinning rapidly while the orbs on top staying motionless and began to glow. The base began to spin so rapidly that it’s bearing screamed. The orbs began to shake and suddenly one made of a dull metal studded with little dimples began to revolve the opposite way and rise above its base. The Doctor’s face fell; he clutched his screwdriver and let out a horrified bark.

“Dalektanium!”

“Dalek-what?” demanded the Director

“Dalektanium, it’s what Daleks are made out of silly!” said the doctor, “Now I know what responds to it I can track it and it is currently in….” he swung round and looked up at a large screen hanging from the ceiling “Germany!”

The sky was dark when Loki stalked into the research center, his armor and cloak replaced with a Tuxedo he blended in perfectly with the other guests except for the silver tipped cane. The Handle contained the glowing blue Orb and he swung it casually as he swaggered into the party.

As Loki approached the main room a security guard halted him and asked for his Invite. He casually tapped him on the chest with the handle of his cane and the bouncer snapped to attention and casually waved Loki through.

Everyone in the room Loki walked into was looking up at a grey haired gentleman standing on a dais. The man was clearing his throat as if ready for a speech, the projector screen behind him showed Dr. Myas Elburn, Head of Research. Loki leapt onto the dais and seized Dr. Elburn by the back of the neck. He swung him round and slammed him down onto to table arrayed with awards for the year. Medals and trophies scattered as the table collapsed under the force. The guests began to scream and panic descended as they fought tooth and nail for the exits. The fire alarm went off and soaked the fleeing crowd. The room rapidly emptied leaving trembling head researcher, the mesmerized security guard and Dr. J Gatsby lounging casually against a plinth sporting a statue of Athena, the Greek good of wisdom.

Loki reached down with the staff and tapped the Head Researchers chest, staring into his eyes as they glazed over, turned pitch black and then snapped back to normal. He released the now relaxed man and stormed out of the Atrium, pausing only to blast the head of Athena.

As he strode out of the building his clothing began to morph, replacing black silk with golden armor, broad gilded shoulder plates and helm with golden horns swooping back over his head. He Cane flickered and grew, turning into an tall kingly scepter. He stood his ground at the top of the research institutes steps watching as the waves of panicked guests spread around the streets of Stuttgart, mixed with the general public and further spreading their fear. His body flickered and a duplicate of him appeared in the South West corner of the Square, then another in the South East until the square was surrounded. The Original Loki continued to stand on the top of the steps staring out over the panic.

“Kneel before me!” he commanded loudly, he voice emerging from the mouths of his duplicate.

“I Said Kneel!” He bellowed, pounding his staff into the ground. A flash of blue light flickered between the staff’s of his Duplicate and the sea of people dropped, heads bowed.

“Is not this simpler?” Raising his arms victoriously “Is this not your natural state?” He began to pace forward, the crowd parting before him. “It’s the unspoken truth of Humanity, but you crave subjugation. The bright lure of freedom diminished your life’s joy in a mad scramble for power. Your identity is that you were made to be ruled. In the end, you will always kneel” He finished with a whisper. His malicious smile began to break into a laugh when an old man grunted as he pushed himself up from his knees.

“Not to men like you.” Responded the elderly gentleman, the laugh dying on Loki’s lips.

“There are no men like me.” He responded coyly

“There are always men like you.” Announced the man with a shake of his head

“Look to your elder people, let him be an example” mocked Loki, raising his staff, the tip glowing with energy

“I wouldn’t do that if I were you!” A clear voice cut through the air and Loki spun around to see a man in a tweed jacket and bow tie with a fez at a jaunty angle on top of his head. The man stood casually, leaning against a railing at the top of the steps Loki had just walked down.

“Who are you?” Loki’s leering voice wavering slightly “Though one must admire the occasional human exhibits remarkable bravery, or stupidity” continued Loki, confidence leaking back into his voice.

“I’m not a Human” Boomed the doctor standing straight and planting his feet defiantly, “I’m a Time Lord of Gallifrey, sworn protector of this planet and you!” He spat out the word and jabbed his finger as Loki. “Are just another upstart want to be conqueror that’s forgotten who I am, the protector, the avenger, the mad man in a box. Call me what you will but remember one thing as you crawl back, beaten to your home. I am the defeater of gods and the guardian of humanity and this planet is protected!”

Loki sneered, trying to hide the slight Panicky look in his eyes. He raised his staff and pointed it at the doctor. Nothing happened. He jabbed it at him a few times before banging the blue orb a few times with the heel of his hand then poking it at the doctor again.

“Is your stick not working?” Inquired the doctor, “My sonic does that sometimes, it’s very annoying! Might be because of this?” Loki looked up as the doctor plucked the fez from his head and between two glowing bolts of blue energy hovered a spinning metallic sphere. The doctor grasped the bronze vice that held the whirring orb and lifted the spinning device off his head. Behind the orb trailed a fat black cable. All eyes followed the cable down the steps and into a manhole cover.

“This is an orb of Dalektanium. Daleks despite their shortcomings a very clever and they can power themselves of nearly anything including consecutive spatial rift energy.” The doctor spoke rapidly as Loki’s sneer melted from his lips.

“It just so happens that I am very clever and that your Tesseract is a big lump of somewhere else’s stuff that oozes so much spatial rift energy that there is enough for this ball of Dalektanium that it’s now spinning at one hundred thousand revs per minute, so fast that to stop it ripping a hole in the time space continuum I’ve wired it into the whole of Western Europe’s power grid. What all this mean Loki me old son, is that your stick couldn’t hurt anyone unless you threw it at them.” He finished his speech with a flourishing smile as Loki let out a cry of anguish, flickered on final time and vanished.

Cheers erupted from the crowd as people hugged and kissed each other. The doctor stood at the top of the steps with the orb slowly reducing in speed. The lights began to fade until the square was briefly plunged into darkness. A second or two later when the lights came back on the jubilant crowd looked to where their rescuer had been standing and saw that he had gone too.
