At the top of Stark Tower, the Avengers surrounded the weak, pitiful, and helpless Prince Loki.
This time, he didn't receive the treatment of having a drink, but considering his somewhat cooperative behavior and Thor's face, they didn't make things too difficult for him after he surrendered.
"Well, now we're going down in the elevator."
Tony shrugged his shoulders.
"That sorcerer really had some skills, much stronger than this guy."
Loki: "??"
"So, who does this scepter belong to?"
Natasha still held the Mind Stone scepter, which was large and heavy. Surprisingly, not one of the men offered to help her carry it...
"The Special Ops team is coming to take it."
"The Tesseract?"
"Yeah... I need to find a box to store it in."
Tony took off his armor. Mark VII had gone through a brutal war, from its birth to facing elimination, in just a few hours. If it weren't for the durability of the Uru armor plating, it would probably be scrapped by now.
"Hey, Tony, do you have spare clothes?"
Seeing that there was no need to continue fighting, Hulk had already transformed back into Banner. He instinctively touched the shorts that had transformed with his raging alter ego and shivered.
"I'm feeling a bit cold."
"Uh... of course. Next time, we should consider making adjustments to your shirt too."
Tony turned around and glanced at him.
"By the way, Bruce, you're quite good now."
Banner: "....I think I need a drink to warm up."
"Ahaha, there are plenty of good drinks here."
Barton found a bottle on the partially destroyed bar and waved it.
"Dr. Banner, I don't think Stark would mind."
The elevator doors opened, and Agent Sitwell and Captain Rumlow of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s STRIKE team arrived with their men.
"Hand over the scepter to us."
Sitwell approached Natasha and took the Mind Stone scepter from her.
"Be careful unless you want your mind wiped."
"We'll be careful."
Rumlow placed the box he was carrying on the table, and Sitwell placed the scepter inside. At this moment, Oaks approached them.
"How do you plan to handle this, Agent Sitwell?"
Oaks smiled and patted the shoulder of this key HYDRA operative.
"This thing is, strictly speaking, a dangerous weapon. We don't want it ending up where it shouldn't."
"Of course, it definitely won't, Consultant... Mr. Oaks."
Sitwell was taken aback by Oaks's pat, and his heartbeat slowed for a moment. But he immediately reacted and smiled.
"Mr. Secretary will surely handle it properly, and its level of secrecy will undoubtedly be high. We just have the opportunity to see it now. The recovery process for the Destroyer followed the same procedure."
Sitwell calmly closed the box containing the scepter and pushed it toward Rumlow, whose arm muscles were still stiff. He nodded.
"Well then, we'll take our leave— Oh, by the way, Mr. Oaks, Agent Coulson has woken up, and the surgery was very successful."
Sitwell even slightly bowed to Oaks.
"We are very good partners and friends. If it weren't for your help, we would have lost him."
"Well, that's great."
Oaks nodded slightly, and the other Avengers also breathed a sigh of relief, finally letting go of their worries.
"Oh, Agent Sitwell."
Just as Sitwell and Rumlow were about to leave, they paused at Oaks' words.
"Mr. Oaks?"
"I've already made the action figure of Mjolnir. Your suggestion saved me a lot of trouble."
Oaks reached out and patted Sitwell's shoulder, almost bringing tears to his eyes.
"Oh... it's so great to be able to help you."
"So..."
Oaks raised an eyebrow.
"I'm also quite interested in making an action figure of this scepter. Since you're in charge of the data, can I trouble you with it?"
"No problem, leave it to me."
Sitwell's bald head started sweating. He didn't want to spend any more time in this room full of Avengers.
"Mr. Secretary is waiting for our report..."
"Ah, sorry for taking up your time. You can go now. We still have some tidying up to do."
Oaks finally let go. Sitwell and Rumlow secretly breathed a sigh of relief and greeted everyone as they entered the elevator.
"Is he okay?"
In the elevator, Rumlow suddenly spoke, and Sitwell took a deep breath.
"He should be fine, Consultant Oaks... Former Consultant. He's very interested in these strange action figures. Last time in New Mexico, we talked for a long time about this topic. He even personally studied metal smelting and cutting."
"That's good."
...
Steve watched Sitwell and the others leave, then approached Oaks and sighed.
"I saw the Vice President during the battle. They helped a lot, as did the trees we planted earlier."
"As long as they've been helpful. Today was originally a public service renovation for Central Park, and it came in handy."
Oaks shrugged his shoulders.
"Besides, this is just the beginning. The search and rescue work won't be easier than battlefield rescues."
"I'll go downstairs to coordinate the search and rescue work now."
Steve nodded and picked up his shield, ready to leave.
"I'll go downstairs to coordinate the search and rescue work now."
Transformed into Steve's appearance, Loki, whose hands were bound again, sarcastically commented to Thor.
"Seriously, how do you manage not to vomit?"
"Shut up!"
Thor slapped the Asgardian mouthpiece onto Loki's mouth. This time, he couldn't speak at all.
"Wait a minute, Steve."
Oaks called out to Steve, who was about to ignore Loki's sarcasm and leave. He then glanced at Thor.
"Seriously, if you're planning to return to Asgard, I suggest you don't have lunch first."
"Hey! I just mentioned wanting to eat Turkish barbecue earlier?"
Tony had brought over a box and placed the Tesseract inside. Upon hearing Oaks' comment, he began to complain.
"And wouldn't our extraterrestrial friend say we don't know how to host guests, right?"
"Oaks, what are you thinking?"
Natasha furrowed her brows and looked at Barton, who had put down the bottle and was also looking over. She instinctively glanced at the elevator.
"Are you saying there might be an accident?"
Oaks walked up to Loki, and everyone fell silent. He seemed a bit confused, unable to speak at the moment.
"As the instigator and mastermind of this war, Loki is not only a criminal of Asgard but also a war criminal on Earth."
Oaks' words caused Thor's expression to change.
"Loki must return to Asgard to face Odin's judgment!"
"Of course," Oaks patted Thor's shoulder, "but do you all remember the nuclear missile from earlier?"
"You mean..."
"Some people won't let this opportunity slip by, whether it's Loki," he looked at Tony, "or the Tesseract."
"So, in order to avoid giving certain people the chance to exploit the situation, it's best for you to leave before meeting the others."
