บท 79: Avengers Finale: Monster Vs Monster
"I am the Spider-Monarch!"
The hulking, cybernetical-klyntar-enhanced Spider-Man roared as he slammed the giant snake dragon's maw into the ground in front of him.
*Boom!*
The impact shattered the glasses in all the buildings nearby as Thor who was closer to the whole fiasco covered his face to shield it from dust while he simultaneously tried to wiggle out from under Mjölnir, grabbing onto its handle to pry it off but it yielded him no good results. A bit cut off from the battleground, the cocooned Captain America felt his breath hitch as a building around him collapsed from the shockwave alone.
Both men were unable to believe what they were seeing. First Loki had somehow managed to transform yet again and this time into a huge Snake-dragon and just when they thought all was lost, Spider-Man bashed his way in as always. The power he displayed now was the epitome of absurdity and it just made Steve wonder-
-Just what was Spider-Man?
Was he even a human?
Was he an alien?
Or was he something more?
But one thing he knew for sure and it was cemented further with each passing minute. That he was a threat. A giant one without a remedy.
The grin on Spider-Man's face widened, his jagged teeth gleaming, eyes burning with an animalistic hunger as he grabbed Snake-Loki by its upper maw. His sharp talons dug into his 'impenetrable' skin as he tightened his grip upon the monster. Loki hissed in pain, as blood seeped out from his wounds, he twisted his snake body to shake Spider-Man off, causing the ground to tremble but the maniacal man didn't flinch or loosen his grip.
Instead, Spider-Man grunted as he began to lift Loki by his maw, hoisting him and his entire snake body over his head in a show of, off-the-charts strength.
Spider-Man's muscles bulged, outlined by his glistening black armor as red gamma energy radiated off his being. The ground shattered underneath the pressure as with a mighty roar Spider-Man slammed Loki onto the ground.
*Boom!*
When the hundred-meter-long serpentine dragon was slammed onto the ground, the boom was atomic and the shockwave was disastrous. The news helicopters that were closing on in after the barrier had dropped were forced to pivot out of the way and upwards as the commercial district of NY was now utter rubble and debris-filled ruin. All the buildings had been leveled except for the stark tower that was protected by the Tesseract.
------
"Wooh! That was a close call!" Tony muttered as he landed on the ground joining Natasha, Banner, and Barton with a cocooned Captain in his arms.
"Stark! What happened?! And is that... Steve?" A dressed-up Banner asked running towards Tony who tossed Steve onto the ground like a sack of potatoes with no courtesy whatsoever.
"Might be, it's hard to see past the veil of silk but from the ancient dust and displaced righteousness radiating off from this... thing, yeah! I think it is good ol' Rogers right there!" Tony said nonchalantly as he looked down at cocooned Steve who was glaring through the holes in his web prison.
Looking at him, Tony just smirked smugly as he resisted the urge to teabag Steve while in his iron suit that Steve had been making fun of, earlier this day. "You should thank me, Cap. Without me, you would have been buried somewhere. And this time..."
"...There would have been no ice to keep you alive. Just stone-cold, concrete."
"Umm, aren't we going to free him?" Banner asked a bit uncomfortable as Tony shrugged sitting back on the ground.
"Personally, I wouldn't suggest that because I know this idiot is going to run back in again." Tony said as Barton shrugged.
"Works for me, I just want to stay out of big lanes." The Archer said as Natasha nodded silently looking at the giant dust cloud in distance, still wondering and thinking about the man who saved her, and helped her yet again.
"Ah, speaking of radiating I picked something interesting radiating from Spider-Man." Tony said suddenly, looking at Banner who raised an eyebrow. "It's gamma, Banner. A lot of it and he is still mostly in control."
"What?... That's impossible... I..." Banner tried to come up with something to deny it but bit his lip, hesitant as he looked at Tony. "How... How much?"
"Too much..." Tony replied as he looked back at the dust cloud as Jarvis picked up the spiking Gamma radiation. "It is mostly contained in a single point now, Spider-Man's own body but if it breaks free then... Let's just say..."
"There wouldn't much left of America."
"..." Banner opened his mouth to say something but kept it shut thinking about the new piece of information until he noticed something. "Umm, where is Thor?"
"Oh... Fuck."
------
Standing in the middle of the dust cloud, Spider-Man gripped his fists, the vein and muscles in his hand bulging as the radiation-powered black-red aura wafting off his body slowly expanded outwards.
The ground began to crack and crumble, metals and various objects began to corrode as soon as the aura touched it and it appeared as if a domain of absolute destruction was forming with Spider-Man at its center.
"Power and all of this... Just from absorbing a tiny proportion of One Below All's domain." Spider-Man mused to himself in wonder before he put his hand down, as he heard Loki hiss somewhere amidst the dust cloud.
Loki was using sound magic to try to disorient and confuse Spider-Man as the god of mischief waited to pounce once an opportunity presented itself.
But alas, if only Spider-Man was regular prey, he would have gotten away with it and emerged as the winner.
The two giant wings on Spider-Man's back twitched a bit before Spider-Man flicked them ahead creating a giant gust of wind that cleared the dust cloud in an instant.
"Dieee! Sspiderrr-Mannn!" The serpentine Loki launched himself ahead now that his cover was blown but Spider-Man simply leaned back while he backhanded Loki with his right hand.
Loki's maw crashed into the ground yet again as he slithers past Spider-Man to reevaluate his next attack. Buckling his legs, Spider-Man fluttered his wings once again dashing ahead while brandishing his talons as he tore through the Serpentine's scaled body, leaving long gashes as blood rushed out of those wounds.
"Sscummm!" Loki hissed turning and coiling his snake body as his green eyes reptilian eyes glared at Spider-Man with hatred as the arachnid floated in front of the giant dragon.
"Coming from you, I'll take that as a compliment." Spider-Man shrugged licking the Serpent's blood off his talons with his long tongue and then smirking in a true symbiote fashion as the nanobots in him began to break down the foreign blood and supply it around his body, stimulating it so that it could adapt and evolve while his AI summarised the new power-ups.
*Hiss!*
Loki dived ahead, pouncing like a snake as Spider-Man pivoted out of the way with a flick of his wings letting Loki pass by harmlessly as he waited for the assimilation of the new powers he obtain from Asgardian-Frost Giant hybrid to complete.
Loki utilized his wind magic and twisted his body mid-air like a Chinese dragon and attacked Spider-Man yet again as the winged madman dived down out of his way but this time, he did not retreat, and instead he chose to retaliate.
Landing on a magic circle, he jumped with the circle providing him with a boost. Flicking his wings, he gained more velocity while he cocked his hand back, lightning crackling around it before he hit Loki square in his maw.
*Boom!*
The Serpent's lower jaw split open from the impact as it was hurled back and upwards from the force of the punch. He wasn't even able to hiss properly with its lower jaw broken now, plus even if it was intact he still wouldn't be able to as Spider-Man appeared right behind him and landed a kick onto his head, almost splitting it open.
Falling from the sky and towards the ground due to the force of the punch, Loki was halted mid-air and was forced to change route yet again as Spider-Man teleported behind and grabbed his tail, and spun him around before slamming to the ground, creating a deeper crater this time.
Loki hissed, his the Jötunn's natural regenerative factory kicking in as he shook his head trying to shake off the blistering pain. Landing on the ground in front of the god of mischief, Spider-Man snarled back at him, raising his hand as ice lances made out of blood began to materialize from thin air.
Loki's eyes widened in disbelief as he senses the familiar magic and realized that it was the Frost Giant's natural ice-manipulating ability.
"Y-You thief! How dare you steal my power?!" Loki hissed enraged as Spider-Man tilted his head.
"I could always manipulate ice, you fuckrag. It is one of the basics one learns first as a budding sorcerer but with your bloodline, I just improvised and made it much more..." Spider-Man smirked as he launched the ice-blood lances in Loki's direction. "...cooler."
(A/N: Relax, Peter. Man, you gotta... Chill XD)
Loki weaved his body in a desperate attempt to not get hit and he managed to avoid a few but most lances hit their mark with deadly accuracy, penetrating the Serpentine Loki's scaled skin throughout his entire elongated body.
Spider-Man gripped his hand, as Loki shrieked in pain yet again as a magic Circle appeared around the butt of the lances, and with a trigger, lightning was discharged into his wounded body through the ice lances.
Loki convulsed in pain as Spider-Man decided to put an end to his charade. Swiping his hand in the air, the ice lances dissipated as Spider-Man jumped ahead and landed on Loki's as he tried to raise his head.
"Stay down!"
Slamming his maw onto the ground, underneath him. Spider-Man grabbed his horns and ripped them off causing Loki to roll over, angry and desperate as Spider-Man manhandled him even in his monstrous form.
"Where is your godhood now Loki? Where is it?!"
Raising his hands he stabbed Loki in the face with his own horns before he began to punch him in the face, again and again, smashing him against the ground until Loki's vision was blurry and he almost gave up on resisting against Spider-Man.
"I thought you were going to drink wine from my skull?!"
"I won't lose-"
"What happened to gutting me like a pig?!"
"Y-You monster-"
"What happened to killing all of my loved ones?!"
"Let g-goo-"
"Aren't you a man of your word?!" Spider-Man taunted Loki who was on the verge of losing consciousness. "Well, come on! I'm waiting!"
"I... I refuse to give up to you!" Loki hissed as he flicked his head and threw Spider-Man back by a few meters. Spider-Man flipped backward and corrected his form mid-air and landed in style as he skidded to a halt.
"Alright then... Let's see what you got."
In a desperate attempt to kill Spider-Man Loki began to gather most of the remaining magic power he had obtained from the Norn Stones and began to channel it towards his mouth which glowed with an icy blue aura as his lower jaw healed. "I refuse to die!"
Opening his mouth, Loki breathed out a huge ray of ice towards Spider-Man who wrapped his wings around his body and braced for the impact.
*Crack!*
The frost ray hit Spider-Man and the explosion covered a great chunk of the battle-worn, ruined city in a thick glacier of crystal blue ice. Loki began to glow as he powered down to his frost giant form as he had depleted himself of most of his mana.
Looking at the largest ice spike where he had trapped Spider-Man in an icy prison Loki growled in hatred, his hand glowing as a giant ice hammer materialized.
"I won't lose to an insect." Loki spat as he gripped the handle of the hammer as he began to walk towards the ice spike to shatter it and kill Spider-Man once and for all.
Just as Loki was walking toward Spider-Man he felt a gust of warm air hit his face, surprising him.
"What is... this..." Loki trailed off and saw steam rise from the ground as the ice around him began to melt. "I-Impossible! This m-magic was Odin's... What...?"
Loki trailed off once again as he saw the ice spike glow black-red as the heat around him intensify to a point where he felt the ice armor around him melt and turn into vapor.
"No, Loki... You have lost already." Loki jolted as he heard Spider-Man's voice hit his ears from every direction as if the arachnid had surrounded him and then-
*Boom!*
A pillar of black-red flames hit the sky as the icy prison surrounding Spider-Man vaporized in an instant. The fire extended outwards, turning the rest of the ice into steam and consuming the landscape in a sea of flames as Loki conjured a magic barrier to shield him from the onslaught of the raging heat.
Spider-Man unfurled his wings as the pillar of fire lessened itself in magnitude until the flames were only dancing around his body and in particular, around his hands.
(A/N: Inspired by Natsu Dragneel from Fairy Tail. One of the most badass MCs and from one of the first and best anime I watched IMO. Love him 3000.)
"Also, I am no insect." Spider-Man said tilting his head as the fire around his right hand burned brighter while Loki rushed at him with his hammer. "I am an arachnid and too bad for you..."
"...I am the worst kind."
Spider-Man raised his left hand blocking the hammer attack as he hit Loki with his right fist sending Loki back from the force of the punch as his facial armor melted from the heat of the punch.
Loki's hammer had cracked upon impact with Spider-Man's block and before he could create a new weapon or reinforce it, he had to stop himself from flying back but he managed to do none of it as Spider-Man was relentless, hot on Loki's tail.
Webbing Loki's chest, he pulled Loki back towards himself before hitting him with a left hook to the gut.
"Ahhh-" Loki didn't get much time to register the pain as Spider-Man grabbed him by his hair and slammed his head back into the ground before stomping on his face but Loki managed to roll out of the way.
Rolling onto his feet, Loki threw his ice hammer at Spider-Man who headbutted the incoming weapon projectile, shattering it in the process while Loki jumped at Spider-Man with two ice daggers.
Spider-Man leaned back avoiding the first swipe at his face and elbowed Loki in the face before lifting his left leg to avoid a leg sweep. Hopping onto his other foot he turned and covered the right side with his wing stopping a stab toward his neck.
Flicking the wing, he punched Loki in the face before pulling the web that was still attached to Loki and raised his leg causing the incoming Loki to slam face-first into the sole of his foot before falling back onto the ground.
Flicking his wings, he jumped up grabbing the web line, and twisted his body, spinning Loki in a circle before slamming him onto the ground.
At this point, Loki's armor was gone and he was coughing up blood in large amounts. Spitting blood he quickly crawled back on his ass as he saw Spider-Man land and he attached another web to him. Grabbing both of the webs, Spider-Man whipped the webs lighting them on fire.
Loki's eyes widened in horror as the flames traveled towards him at a rapid pace while Spider-Man tugged on it to distract him.
Rolling the webs around his body to steady himself, Loki quickly cut the webs off before they could light him on fire too but was left vulnerable for an attack as Spider-Man teleported into his blindside and grabbed his shoulders before kneeling him in the back.
"Ahhhh!" Loki screamed in pain, falling to the ground with his back cracked while Spider-Man raised his foot and stomped him in the face, pinning him to the ground as brandished his talons, ready to class Loki's throat out. "No... Nonono-"
"Oh yes, baby."
Spider-Man grinned ready to attack and just before he could strike a hail of thunder almost struck him from his blindside but Spider-Man teleported away, almost by reflex. Spider-Man appeared a few meters away from Loki as the new arrival landed beside the disgraced god, twirling his hammer. "You calling me a coward is kind of hypocritical considering you only attack me when you think I am not aware of your sneaky shtick."
"Enough is enough, Spider-Man! You have done enough!" Thor announced, his eyes glowing white as lightning danced around his form. His armor was back in top condition and it appeared that he managed to regain control of Mjölnir somehow. "Loki will face Asgardian justice and if you don't stand down, I will strike you down in Odin's name! You too will feel Asgard's wrath!"
"Hmm, it seems like Ol' Odin is still pulling some tricks even though he is worlds away. Asgard's greatest indeed." Spider-Man mused as his AI scanned a foreign aura lingering around Thor. It appeared that Thor had prayed to Odin for help in desperation and Odin managed to pull some trick to not only sway Mjölnir back to Thor but he also granted the latter a power up to help himself against Spider-Man. "Well, I don't have any plans to stop now so go on ahead."
"You..." Thor growled the whole Spider-Man goaded him nonchalantly as flicked his wings, slowly levitating up while he began to channel a great amount of magic energy.
"Please smite with all thy might and beat me into smithereens." Spider-Man smirked as hundreds of magic circles appeared behind him. "Well, if you can... That is."
"Gates of purgatory."
The magic circles turned into mini portals as various weapon's made from obsidian launched out of the gates and were shot toward Loki and Thor.
(A/N: Gates Of Babylon inspired, obviously.)
Thor twirled his hammer deflecting a few and blasting some away with his lightning before stepping back and turning to grab a barely healed-up Loki by his neck and launching the both of them out of the gate's strike zone.
"Ohh?" Spider-Man looked at the fleeing Thor and just grinned as he canceled the spell causing all the Gates and the weapons to disappear.
Flicking his wings, he propelled himself up and ahead using a magic circle for a boost as he rushed behind the two siblings. Weaving himself through the few broken buildings that remained standing while avoiding strikes of thunder, Spider-Man spread his wings halting his flight as a pillar of lightning descended from the sky onto the ground below missing him by a foot as Thor disappeared around the corner.
"Tsk, tsk." Playfully clicking his tongue, Spider-Man pursued them once again as the lightning dissipated. Turning around the corner, Thor disappeared into, Spider-Man's senses went haywire as he leaned back, folding his wings to lower his flight as he narrowly avoided being hit by a flying hammer courtesy of Thor.
Landing on the ground, Spider-Man turned and blocked a punch to the face before retaliating with more power while Thor leaned back to avoid the punch but was caught off guard as Spider-Man spun on his heel and smacked the Asgardian in the face with his wings.
Shaking off the attack, Thor jumped ahead with his fist cocked-back.
"You are arrogant Spider-Man!" Thor spat as he punched the arachnid who raised his left hand and caught the punch, taking it head-on without moving an inch.
*Boom!*
The contact created a shockwave as Spider-Man grabbed Thor's fist and tightened his grip causing Thor to grit his teeth and pain and try to pry his hand out of the Spider's grasp without any result.
"And you are annoying Odinson." Spider-Man said retaliating with a punch of his own which Thor caught with his other hand, almost buckling under the weight of the punch but he somehow managed to hold on. "How long do you plan to keep protecting Loki? How long will you fight for a lost cause?"
"A-As long as it keeps you busy!" Thor said flashing a strained smirk as he twirled his wrist free out of Spider-Man's grasp and instead grabbed both of his wrists. "Mjölnir!"
Spider-Man's senses buzzed as pulled his hand back but Thor gritted his teeth and held him in place as Mjölnir flew from the distance towards Thor and hit Spider-Man to the left side of his face with great force.
"Ahhh!" Spider-Man screamed in pain as Thor's smirk widened.
"Loki now!"
"Argh!!!" Loki emerged from his cover with a giant sword as he leaped towards Spider-Man's back, raising the sword over his head. "Die!!!"
*Stab!*
Loki's sword entered Spider-Man's back and stabbed through his chest piercing his heart as blood gushed out of his open wound.
"Ahhhh!" Spider-Man screamed in pain falling onto his knee as blood and saliva dripped out of his mouth. "You... W-What have you done?"
"I have fixed you." Thor said with a cold face as he looked at Spider-Man while Loki twisted the sword, that was still inside causing more and more blood to drip out of his wounds. "You will no longer terrorize the people of earth no more. You may have thought you were all-powerful and immortal but that proved to be your mistake. Your arrogance blinded you and now it is time for you to pay for it. I hope you find salvation in Hel."
"Ha... Ha... Haha... Hahaha..." Spider-Man panted in pain before his pants turned into a chuckle causing Thor to raise an eyebrow while Loki felt a weight settle upon his shoulder. His chuckle then turned into a giggle which soon transformed into a tangent of sick, gleeful laughter. "Hahahaha!"
"What's so funny-"
"It's funny." Spider-Man said suddenly looking up and into Thor's eyes, his four red glowing eyes glaring into the Asgardian's white ones. "You are just as ignorant as you are annoying. Which is a fucking lot for a s'pose god and..."
"God, do I love putting ignorant people in their fucking places."
Spider-Man said as his body glowed similar to Loki's when the latter used his illusion magic. The sword penetrated his chest and his wound disappeared which caused Thor and Loki's eyes to widen.
Loki's sword had never penetrated his suit in the first place, let alone his skin, flesh, or his rotten heart. The sword had shattered upon impact and Spider-Man had fooled both of them into a sense of false security.
"H-How-" Loki stuttered as Spider-Man looked back from over his shoulder, as menacing as ever.
"Vibranium, bitch."
(A/N: Plot armor, bitch.)
Spider-Man then lashed out.
Kicking back, he hit Loki in the gut sending him back as he freed his hands out of Thor's grasp and grabbed the Asgardian's wrist instead. Pulling Thor down, he raised his knee and hit him in the chin.
"Gah-" Letting go of the disoriented Thor's hand he backhanded him into the ground far back before jumping and landing on his chest. "Ahhhh-"
"There is something you need to learn Today, Asgardian!" Spider-Man roared as he punched Thor in the face, until he was bleeding once again. Thor weakly raised his hand to call for Mjölnir who flew towards Spider-Man's back but this time he was ready as he turned his shoulder and grabbed Mjölnir as it passed him. "I don't die!"
He felt Mjölnir resist more violently this time, attacking him with lightning but Spider-Man was already immune to that element and he retaliated by constructing a thousand-layer magic array around the hammer to curb its power in an instant and the hammer now wasn't anything more than a normal strong hammer.
"P-Please... I admit d-defeat... Let us not fight anymore." Thor said shakily, bleeding from his lips, realization dawning upon him as he took the full brunt of Spider-Man's power head-on.
Literally.
Spider-Man simply ignored his words and raised the hammer to smash Thor's face in but stopped as his senses went off yet again. Spider-Man would have reacted even without his senses this time just because of how loud Loki's battle cry was and just how obvious, obnoxious, and predictable it made the latter.
"Ahhh-AHHH!" Stupidly announcing his attack was rewarded with an equal award as Spider-Man smacked Loki in the chin, tossing up a few meters.
"Do you never learn?" Spider-Man mused to himself channeling magic to his mouth as steam began to waft out from the gaps of his jagged maw. Pinning Thor under him with his leg, he opened his mouth which was glowing red as he aimed at the airborne Loki.
*Roar!*
"N-No! Loki!" Thor screamed in despair as Spider-Man blasted Loki, breathing out fire as if he was a dragon, launching Loki toward the Stark Tower where he landed on its rooftop barely conscious and glowing as his armor began to fade away. Thor looked up at Spider-Man with pleading eyes as he felt Loki's life force. He was alive; weak but alive. But if he didn't stop Spider-Man, he would die. "P-Please... Don't kill him... Please..."
"Huh? You'll have to do a lot better than that to convince me." Spider-Man said as he twirled the hammer and slammed it into Thor's face disorienting him. "Hmm? Odin must have used a lot of Dark Energy to grant you this form. Well, whatever."
Stepping off Thor, Spider-Man flicked his wings as he spared Thor a last look.
"You'll have to hurry or I might just feed your brother to my spiders."
And with that, he took off towards the Stark Tower. The lone standing building in the commercial district of New York.
Landing on the rooftop a bit delicately lest he broke it too, Spider-Man retracted his wings and stopped channeling gamma energy to his body as he slowly began to power down to his regular form while he walked towards the tesseract.
Spider-Man's suit shifted, his symbiotic maw dissipating into his regular Rorschach-patterned mask as he spared Loki a look from the corner of his eyes.
The man had lost consciousness and had powered down from his frost giant form to his regular Asgardian form. But for some odd reason was still glowing... as if he was still powering down.
"Heh."
Spider-Man scoffed as he felt Thor approach the tower and not even a moment later Thor landed on the rooftop as the Asgardian wiped the blood from his nose and his busted lip. "Now, how are you going to convince me Odinson?"
"Spider-Man... I admit my defeat, it is my loss." Thor said he raised his arms in surrender as he nervously gripped the Mjölnir while eyeing the glowing Loki from the corner of his eyes once before training his eyes on Spider-Man's back who was observing the floating Tesseract in the portal machine. "So pleased... let us not fight anymore."
"Hmm, offer of peace? That's a start but in the end, that is for me to decide, Asgardian." Spider-Man said as Thor gritted his teeth, unable to predict where the conversation was going to shift towards. "But first, there is something I want you to look at."
"Wha... What is it?" Thor asked unsure as Spider-Man pointed a thumb toward Loki without turning back.
"Take a look at your... Sibling." Spider-Man said carefully picking his words with a playful mirth in his voice that confused Thor at first. "Your brain is going to melt soon."
"I do not know what you are... are... are..." Thor began unsure until his eyes landed on Loki who was done powering down and looked a lot different than Thor ever remembered his adoptive 'sibling' being. Long gone was the manly face of an accomplished Asgardian mage. Long gone was the stature of a deceptive man he had almost come to hate at one point. Long gone was his brother and instead laying in his place on the rooftop in tatters of Asgardian robe was a female whose beauty could, with time, rival that of Freya's. Thor stared at the female not blinking as he somehow managed to croak out his sibling's name. "L-Loki?!"
Long eyelashes fluttered open as the lady heard someone call out a familiar name. The name her adoptive parents had made her assume if she even wanted a shot at being the ruler of Asgard.
Loki, the mask she was forced to hide under her whole life.
Opening her eyes she saw the face of her estranged 'brother' the soon-to-be king of Asgard and couldn't help but scoff just thinking about it. He had always been the dumber one between them two and always seemed to have a look of a confused child in his eyes but for some reason, he was staring at her as if he had witnessed Ragnarok.
"Do not tell me that the Spider still survived your mighty wrath and the both of us are dead." Loki said scoffing in distaste at the mention of the damned Spider-Man before she heard her own voice and realized that something was really really off.
"I always survive." She heard Spider-Man voice and her head snapped over and saw him standing near the Tesseract his back towards her but his next words caught her attention. "I always survive and evolve, Missy."
Looking down, her eyes widened in horror as she finally noticed that her spell had dissipated and her true form was exposed for all the world to see, and not only that, even her bountiful bosom was almost exposed as well. Her tattered robes did her no favor to cover it as they almost spilled out of their confines and thus against her own will an extremely girlish shriek left her throat while she scattered to cover her chest. "Kyah!"
"L-Loki! Have you got no shame?!" Thor asked with a scandalous look on his face which was quickly replaced by anger as he tried not to bash in the face of his brother who even in this situation was full of such vulgar jokes. "Have you lost all of your honor that you have to stoop so low and resort to such shameless tactics! You bring no eminence to Asgard!"
"Thor?! This isn't-"
"The fuck are you yapping about?" Spider-Man interrupted the duo as he looked over his shoulder. "This is your brother. This is his true form..."
"...This is his natural state."
"Absurdity! That cannot be the truth! Loki cannot be a woman..." Thor's words died in his throat, trailing off as he saw Loki covering up her modesty with tears of shame in eyes.
And then, realization hit him like his father's cincture.
(A/N: Cincture = Belt XD)
It suddenly made sense to him, why they weren't allowed to sleep together in a single room or bath together even when they were children. It made sense why as a teenager Loki always seemed to have more studies than him and why his mother would pay more attention to him, especially during that period.
"My brother... Is my sister?"
Spider-Man resisted the urge to chuckle at Thor's dumbfounded unsure tone and the disbelief in his voice. He understood how baldy Thor wished it was all a lie but alas, those matters were not his to worry about.
He had more pressing ones to address, he didn't have all day to waste over alien invasion or sibling squabble after all.
He needed more power and he needed it fast. Loki was his bargaining chip to make a deal with Asgard but now that the truth was out, he needed to know if Loki was worth the same or was the invasion of Asgard his only option.
"How does that make you feel, Odinson?" Spider-Man began as he walked towards Thor, circling him. "Do you feel betrayed? First, you learn your brother is not even your own brother. He is all but adopted and now... You learn your adoptive brother isn't even a brother. What a fucking tragedy?! Haha! And that is just hilarious to me. Well, that matters not to me, your internal peril is yours to deal with. Just let me know one thing..."
Spider-Man said as he walked towards Loki who was trying to back off but there was nowhere to go as she found out.
No place to hide from this monster.
"Is Loki even worth saving now? Do you still want to protect someone who has deceived you all your life and on so many levels?" Spider-Man asked as he sat down beside Loki and grabbed her roughly by her hair while she tried her best to resist him. Tears flooded Loki's eyes as the weight of Spider-Man's words hit her in the face and seeing the look of contemplation on Thor's face only made it worse while Spider-Man made her look at the conflicted Asgardian prince.
"I..." Thor began unsure as Spider-Man ejected his talons and lightly scratched Loki's neck with them, drawing tiny amounts of blood.
This time the wounds didn't heal as Loki had no magic left in her reserves.
"Well, tick tick." Spider-Man said. "Time is running."
"I..." Thor began before sighing as he steeled his resolve and looked at Spider-Man. "I still do. I still want to save him... her."
"What..." Loki muttered in disbelief as Thor dropped his hammer.
"The matter that Loki is not a man, but a woman means nothing to me. She is the daughter of Odin Borson and Freyja Freyrdottir!" Thor announced as Loki closed her eyes unable to prevent the tears from falling. "What matters most the most to me is my sibling..."
"She is the sister of Thor Odinson and I won't let anyone hurt her anymore!" Thor said with conviction in his eyes as Spider-Man looked into it and admired his courage and he had to admit he was a bit moved. "Not even you Spider-Man... Even if I have to die."
"Why... Why... Why?! After all that I have done to you?! Why?!" Loki screamed tears in her eyes as Thor flashed her a smile.
"I will save you. One time, two times, a hundred times, and over and over again because..." Thor smiled. "...that is what a brother would do for his sister."
Loki sobbed closing her eyes as Spider-Man hummed to himself letting go of Loki's hair and standing up.
"Good, very good. I am quite moved but you see sentiments don't feed this power-hungry pit, that is the stomach of mine."
Spider-Man said as his suit shifted and a sword appeared in his hand. Which he quickly placed against Loki's neck before Thor could move.
"And so, let me know what you are willing to offer me in exchange for your sister's life. Oh, Thor Odinson, the crowned prince of Asgard."
"I..." Thor began trying to wrack his brain to think of an offer to make. He eyed his hammer but he knew, that if Spider-Man wanted it, he would have taken it from him a while ago. As he was thinking his eyes landed on the Tessaract and a light went off above his head. He saw just how intently Spider-Man was eyeing the Tessaract and he was able to deduce that the arachnid was interested in it. So, although a bit hesitant, Thor was ready to make a deal. "The Tesseract!"
"Hmm?" Spider-Man hummed in question as he lowered his blade which made Thor hopeful.
"The Tesseract! You can have it! And in exchange... you spare the life of my sister." Thor said as he looked at Spider-Man who stared back at him blankly. "Do we have a deal?"
"..."
"... Umm... well?"
"No."
Spider-Man said simply as Thor's eyes widened. There was no way his evaluation was wrong. He knew he was interested in the Tesseract.
"We don't not have a deal, Odinson."
"But why?! What more do you need-"
(A/N: Your mom🗿)
"You seem a bit confused, Odinson." Spider-Man said as he began walking towards the Tessaract. Retracting his talons, he extended his arm and shoved it towards the Tessaract as the barrier around the cube reacted, trying to throw him away but against Spider-Man's strength and the durability of his suit, it caved in and shattered like glass creating a shockwave which caused Thor and Loki to shield their faces from the wind. They both them watched in shock as Spider-Man shoved his hand into the machine without turning it off and grabbed the cube barehanded, pulling it out and causing the portal to shut down in an instant. Raising his leg, Spider-Man kicked the machine off the rooftop as he turned around with the glowing cube in his hand. "The Tesseract..."
"...It's already mine."
*Shatter!*
Without even straining his wrist, Spider-Man crushed the Tesseract single-handedly, as he let the shards of its outer shell slip through his fingers until only a glowing blue stone remained.
"What are you...?" Loki asked speechless as the infinity stone began to float around his hand while his suit began to shift accepting the stone as it started assimilating it into itself.
Spider-Man groaned arching his back feeling a sudden implosion in his core as newfound power coursed through his veins and muscles while his AI was overclocked trying to analyze two infinity stones down to their very concept and then assimilate their abilities into its host.
"What... What do you want?" Thor asked cautiously realizing full well that there was no chance in Hel that he could match this Spider-Man.
"I want an audience with your king, Odinson." Spider-Man smirked surprising Thor and Loki. "Take me to Asgard, to your father, Odin Borson..."
"I will make a deal with him instead."

So, there you go. Sorry for being late, but this took a lot of retries.
Honestly, our degeneracy knows no bounds. Somehow you rascals managed to convince me to do this and I even managed to pull it off haha!
Anyways, what do you think about the chapter? Did you like it? Did you enjoy it? Did Loki's female gender-bending seem forced? Let me know. Next chapter we will be dealing with the aftermath of the battle, chilling with harem before Spider-Man goes to Asgard for a brief visit.
Reasons? You'll know soon enough but I'll give you a hint in case you are antsy. It is for a certain Norse goddess of death. *Wink**Wink*
Now, some of you might be asking why I didn't kill off Thor's sibling and the answer is quite simple dear reader. I have a soft spot for Sylvie-Ahem! I meant Loki! Also, Regarding her motivations, backstory, and goals all that will be explained later but I'll let you know that her personality will be a mix between Loki and Sylvie from the TV series. Goofy sometimes with equal seriousness to match it.
Perfectly balanced. As all things should be.
Anyways, that's all I have for today and as always, thanks for all the love and support even though I am a bit tardy now. You guys are the best!
And with that, I'll see you legends in the next one.
Bye~~~
