บท 319: Trickery

Wayne and Thor fought hand to hand. All their moves were matched equally but a very keen man who knows what hand to hand combat looks like can see that Wayne was at a disadvantage.

Not because he didn't know how to fight but because Thor was still stronger than Wayne. Wayne was brand new to this high power and strength so he had to learn slowly to properly control his own power.

Peter was amazed to see Thor and Wayne fight against each other with such power. He already expected a huge strength from both of them, but this fight exceeded his expectations by a mile.

As the fight continued on, Wayne got more used to his strength. Now Thor too exerted more power to fight Wayne as he could see that Wayne was using more strength than the beginning.

The whole fight continued for a full half hour, before Strange stopped them. But surprisingly both weren't actually tired after the fight.

"Nice moves you have got there Wayne." Thor said.

"You too. I had to use all my tactics to even fight on the same level." Wayne replied.

The audience cheered after the fight, even though some were disappointed as they thought there would be a winner, but nonetheless the fight was exciting and they all got to see power levels that they couldn't imagine in their life.

Both of them went out of the arena only to be greeted by the enthusiastic native Asgardians. Thor was already famous in Asgard and now he had become more powerful than ever. Some even suspected that he was more powerful now than Odin but they couldn't prove it.

Wayne too got appreciation from the people as he fought tot to toe against Thor, and he too was flocked by people. Thor and Wayne had to avoid them and run away. The Avengers who saw all of this laughed.

After discussing that epic fight with everybody, everyone went back. Some wanted to explore more of Asgard while others wanted to laze around a bit. It was not everyday that they came to Asgard. The wolf school was more interested in the magic of Asgard and thus they proceeded to read in the library, while Banner, Ryan and Tony went to grasp more knowledge of the technology of Asgard and get inspiration from it.

John too was with Emma roaming around. This was his second time coming here with Emma and he still felt peace when he came here. As both of them walked around, they saw Loki just staring at the sky while lying down in the seat.

John who was still not sure of what Loki wanted and what his plans were wanted to poke him

"Loki."

"John."

John and Emma came and sat near Loki. John was always fond of the actor who played Loki so he really had a soft spot for him. In addition, his story in the Loki series was kind of a sad one at the end so he had always kept an eye on him. But this Loki wasn't the actor but the actual Loki so he needed to be very careful on placing his trust on him.

"What actually is your plan Loki? Why don't you just show your real aim." John asked.

"What do you mean?" Loki replied.

"You know what I mean. The moment I stepped in Asgard you have done nothing but been good and helpful to me and the Avengers. What do you actually want?" John asked.

"I don't want anything. I just want recognition." Loki denied.

"Don't play dumb with me. A guy like you will never be happy with what you have right now. So tell me what you really want?" John asked now with more conviction and sound. Loki stared at John for a few seconds before sighing deeply.

"I can never escape from your eyes. Can I?" Loki asked.

"Never." John replied.

"I was doing all this to know what it is that you want from me. In New York, it was you who shielded me against the Avengers. It was you who let me live after the attack of Dark Elves. I am sure Kratos knew that I was alive but he didn't react even when I took over the kingdom. What do you really want from me? I want the truth. All this play I have been doing is to get to know this and I won't stop until I know what you really want. I don't believe my other versions in the multiverse would allow me to get a jail free card from you." Loki said in one breath.

"You really want to know why I have been helping you all this time?" John asked as he raised his eyebrows when Loki said all of this. Only Loki could feel that John had some special arrangements for him and he wanted to know the reason.

"Yes."
