I want the white schizo

>>6184019
I'm thinking:

>Iron man
Provides necessary funds and tech know-how for infrastructure like a headquarters and some place to keep the bad guys without just handing them over to SHIELD

>Captain America
A levelheaded team leader and symbol of hope and trust that the people can put their faith in. Also a great counterbalance to the futurist and occasionally unethical practices of Stark

>Thor
The perfect mix of mobility and power while not having any of the baggage associated with the hulk. We will eventually get our hands on him, but we need someone who won't be a liability so early on

>The Wasp
Capable of infiltration, espionage, and high speed combat. Not a liability with no superpowers and potential Hydra or Red Room involvement like Black Widow. With both her and Stark on the team, there's no need for a liability like Hank Pym

>Captain Marvel
Our smoking gun. Sometimes able to take the Hulk in a one on one fight while remaining at least passably sane

>>6184019
>Moon Knight
Schizos are based

THE COMING OF THE AVENGERS?!

The realm known as Midgard, present day, New York City.
Rain falls from above, among the citizens walking around is the unassuming Donald Blake, a man who needs a cane to walk... Of course, nobody would suspect he is actually a disguise for The Mighty Thor, God of Thunder, Prince of Asgard... Exiled from his home to Midgard (or Planet Earth as the locals call it) by his father Odin, All-Father, for his arrogance...
Though Midgard has proven to show him plenty resistance and evil-doers to battle, he is truly a fish out of water, suffering from a bit of a culture shock constantly as he protects the world from all matter of foes in an attempt to be allowed back into the Golden Realm of Gods by proving himself worthy of his royal lineage...
As he wanders the streets, he ponders heavily on this strange Godless world, these humans seem to live vapid lives, they struggle to survive, weak and vulnerable... They ride on automated chariots, boxes of metal that tend to cause accidents... And high above, on the sides of the tall rectangular buildings there are bright electronic tablets that promote spending their hard-earned gold into frivolous trinkets.

But little does he know Odin himself is in quite the trouble, following Thor's exile, his other son Loki was quick to attempt betrayal... For which he was imprisoned deep in the Isle of Silence.
And yet... Loki is a mighty magician, the trickster God of Evil is physically stuck, but his mind is active as always, brewing a terrible scheme to destroy his brother and eternal rival Thor... Eliminating all opposition to the throne of Asgard!
"I project my image... I cast my spell upon Midgard... Let them know THOR is their ENEMY!"
Taking the shape most convenient to trick the heroes, he seeks for the realm's protectors:

Marc Spector, once a disenfranchised mercenary, now the hero of the night, the Fist of Vengeance... Revived by the Egyptian Moon God Khonshu to be his immortal servant! His MOON KNIGHT! A man with a fractured mind... For Loki, however, it is trivial to trick him, masquerading himself as Khonshu, he gave him a new assignment:
"Attention, my knight! An evil God has invaded your city, and you know gods hate sharing... Vikings are dangerous people, so before it becomes too late... Hunt down the beast known... As THOR!!"
Kneeling, the protector of the night glides into action.

Janet Van Dyne, the heroine known as THE WASP, similarly tricked but with much less fanfare: All Loki had to do was show her the image her dear guy friend and the creator behind the particle that became the source of her powers, scientist adventurer Hank Pym... Imprisoned by an evil man with a hammer! "Jan! A madman pretending to be a norse god has kidnapped me! I do not have my equipment! Hurry!"
Played like a puppet, the wondrous Wasp flies into action, rage in her eyes. "Why do these super freaks always have some crazy gimmick?! Honestly!"
(cont.)

>>6184523
Anthony Edward Stark, once a brilliant engineer, capitalist, and heir to Stark Enterprises... His life almost cut short after he was captured by terrorists who wanted him to build a weapon for them! On the edge of death from shrapnel reaching his heart, he was forced to turn himself into said weapon, a metallic armored nightmare known as IRON MAN... Now forced to keep that armor on, he fights for justice to reclaim his tech, hiding himself in his mansion to keep his suit functional and thus, keeping himself alive... Alas, Loki kept his most devious lie for last!
Stark stares in shock as Edwin Jarvis, his butler and the only man aware of his true identity, arrives gravely wounded!
"Master...! There's... A terrible evil... Is here! You must... Stop him!"
Loki knew this would anger Stark beyond rationality, as he flew out the window of his mansion to track down the lonesome god.

Now, to get Thor to reveal himself, all that Loki had to do was present him with a monster to fight!
An enormous Frost Giant manifested in front of Thor, who was quick to change into his godly form and strike it with lightning! ...However, it was merely a dastardly illusion! Thor watches with deep regret as he strikes a sign behind the monster. Could it be...? "A most vexing ruse? But... Could this be mine brother's magic?"
The thunder and lightning bring the other 3 heroes to him.
Wasp, Iron Man, Moon Knight. All here for different reasons, but all with a bone to pick! Loki has accomplished his goal so far... And the battle is on!
"There you are, you no-good oversized carpenter!" Wasp mocks him, readying her bio-organic bolts, Moon Knight readies his Crescent Darts, and Iron Man takes aim!
WASP, IRON MAN, MOON KNIGHT Objective: Defeat Thor.
THOR Objective: Defend yourself!

"Mortals... I know them, they're heroes of this realm... Why do they dare attack me?!" Loki's insidious presence hovers behind Thor, one last illusion is all it takes to make the battle-hungry God of Thunder go all out. For Thor suddenly sees the heroes in front of him as Jotunns as well, evil doppelgangers of the real ones! "Vile invaders! Taste my thunder!"
Moon Knight is known for his aggressive style of justice, and he wastes no time emptying his pockets on the so-called villain... With little effect. "Hngh... Gonna need more that that to take this clown out!"
Iron Man, driven by anger as well, loads up his weapons, rockets, and his trademark unibeam and... Runs out of power. It seems Thor is drawing in the electricity around him and that includes the power from his machinery. Left completely helpless, he drops like a brick. "...Maybe I should've considered this before jumping into action. Just my luck." His transistors and servos jammed, he is a sitting duck. "Hey, a little help? Anyone?"
Alas, he is on his own, Wasp becomes tiny and flies around the thunder god, dodging the rays and overall being a nuisance. It seems to distract him long enough for Moon Knight to land a solid punch, but it doesn't seem to do much, even if he feels it... What's more, Wasp can see a strange ghostly figure standing behind their foe, the specter of a horned man with a wicked, frightening smile! She feels this must be important somehow, but if she gets too close she might become a zapped bug!

"ENOUGH, I SAY THEE!" Thor calls, bringing down his power on Iron Man... Who is saved just in time by a mysterious man with an iconic shield!
Captain Steve Rogers, a man out of time, born many years ago and enlisting into the military to help the American troops during WW2... A man with a good heart but a weak physique, an experimental one-of-a-kind serum was used on him, transforming him into the perfect soldier: His strength, agility, stamina and health rose to the peak of human capacity! Along with his unique indestructible shield and his strategic genius, he was invaluable in helping the Allies defeat the evil Axis forces but he sadly perished in battle before the war ended...
...Or so the history books go, as he appears alive and well right in front of everyone.
Another man who doesn't quite fit in with the modern world, he understood Thor's angst well. "Thor, stand down! We are not your foes!"
But would he listen?

Since Wasp is still operational, we know Thor can't absorb or use all electricity nearby, so hopefully with Cap and Moon Knight distracting him we can muster up enough energy for a hasty getaway. Leaving is tempting, but we're way more vulnerable outside of the suit than in it even as a sitting duck. Also, make a mental note to add some sort of insulation to the next iteration of the suit to keep our juice from getting stolen.

The good 'ol Captain charges forward to pacify his fellow warrior, but misses as he rises to the skies, rotating his hammer as incredible speeds to lift himself off the ground! And while the attack doesn't connect, it is a foreign presence Loki could not account for... "Blasted soldier! I cannot cast a new spell over him without revealing my deception!" Fortunately for him, unfortunately for us, Iron Man and Wasp charge in!
Wasp flies around, zooming rapidly and inspecting the ghostly head... A shot from her stingers should do the trick!
...Or not. It is not a physical presence and the beam flies right through, hitting the thunder god on the face. It seems to barely register on him, but he is clearly annoyed more than anything else. "Foul, diminutive villain! Begone!" And he returns a much bigger ZAP, sending her flying into a building... This does buy Iron Man some valuable time, however! And Loki's ghost dispels, meaning he cannot see... No matter, his evil plan continues...
"Redirect energy resources, emergency charge protocol!" If there ever was an emergency this was one, diverting the power from the machine keeping him alive to his suit, he flies up, supercharged! "Iron Man at the ready! Stand down!"
The two heroes, airborne and ready to throw down, though one definitely has more time than the other... "Really fancy hammer you got there, I will enjoy seeing it's inner workings." Of course, that doesn't mean he will give up. Thor's attention is split between the captain and the metal man, but while one seems evil, he knows the man known as Captain America must be crazy to fight him!
"Thou, American Captain. Why art thou aiding these vile warlike beasts?!"

Meanwhile, hidden in a corner, the caped hero of the moon consults... Himself? "...This clown seems serious. Lotsa' work on his costume, too." Crouching to avoid detection, he responds... To himself. "Are we sure this is... The real Thor? I expected a noble figure."
"He might be... His power seems to come from his hammer, just like..." A third voice interrupts: "Thor is a hero. I've heard it on the streets, if this is the same man, then..." / "B-But Khonshu... He wouldn't lie to us, would he?"
"..." Silence. A silence of agreement. Khonshu was never the most trustworthy after all.
A groan of annoyance from the man who struggles to define his reality. "Well, if he's the REAL Thor we have many questions to ask..."

Thor's inquiry falls on deaf ears as the man out of time dashes off!
"Alright old-timer, you've truly overstayed your welcome." The gilded hero powers up his rocket propulsor boots, readying himself to take the norse down from the skies, however, as he lets out a warcry he is... Not moving, his charging tackle pulled back by... A moon-shaped grappling hook! Moon Knight seems to have switched sides, confusing both mighty fighters, pulling the tin man with his moon-powered might!
"The knight of Khonshu demands answers!" Stark's attack has failed, and with Mjolnir flying to his face, he is grounded! Thor, confused by the infighting and the concern expressed by what he saw as beasts, begins to question the situation.
"Now thou help me...? I... Who art thou! Identify yourself!"
"I should ask you the same, wing-cap! If you're a god then my master has a bone to pick with you!" The knight exclaims, brandishing his truncheons... While Iron Man stays still on the floor. "...I am also here. Getting the feeling I might be losing this fight."
"Silence, robot!" Moon Knight barks angrily, allowing Thor to realize...
Mine eyes deceive me! If this be an automaton... These are not Jotunn! Tis a trick!

Meanwhile, running into the large hole on the side of a building, the military legend of old approaches the knocked-down woman... "Madam, are you alright? That looked like a nasty hit." What a gallant gentleman. Wasp lazily lifts a thumbs up. "Yup. Doing good. Ow. But doing okay! Really-"
The sarcasm is completely lost on him but as she sits up it's clear she was made of stronger stuff. "...So what are you, John America? U.S.Agent? Freedom Boy?"
Well, the 40's were a long time ago...
"Whatever. Let's go back now, that viking guy kidnapped my... Friend. Yes, that-" Wasp states, still a bit dizzy... "I don't think he is the enemy. He is strong, could've shot to kill, but didn't... Plus you noticed the evil presence behind him too, I bet."
"...That I did..."

Cagey as ever, Moon Knight prepares to get his answers the only way he knows how: By force! "I serve the protector of the night, and your light threatens it! State your business unless you wanna take me on next!" But Thor cannot answer, can he? He barely understand what matter of attack he is under!

"I am Thor Odinson, currently protector of Midgard. I should be asking you the same thing! If thou are not frost giants then explain who your master is or face the fury of Asgard's-!" Before he can finish, the man below the white hood turns around and begins some sort of... Summoning? He is calling someone, it must be his master. "Khonshu! Present yourself! Arise!"
...But nothing happens.
As the Captain and the Wasp return to the battle zone, they notice it has become quite a confusing scene.
Iron Man calls up his butler for aid and perhaps to make some sense out of this. "Hey Jarvis, I may be stuck in a 2v1- Don't think my odds are good for avenging you right now, h-hey does your eye still not open-"
"...What are you talking about? And where have you gone to? It seems you fled in a rush!"
"...Hold on, you're fine?!"
"Better than you for the looks of it. Your suit's energy seems rather low, sir."
Iron Man, defeated, asking for a quick favor. "...Glad you're doing okay, but can you google what a Khonshu and a Thor and a Thor's brother are for me real quick? I think tonight's getting a lot weirder than I expected..."
At lest, the battle has stopped. The city lights around New York slowly go back to normal as the group reunites...
Both objectives, failed! The winner of the fight was... Moon Knight?! Sure, why not.

As Moon Knight continues fruitlessly trying to commune with his God, calling out for a Khonshu who either can't or does not want to answer, the illusion fades, allowing the heroes to introduce themselves properly...

"So it seems we have all been tricked into fighting Thor. But why?" Iron Man asks what's in everybody's minds while recharging his battery with the nearest cable. The Wasp replies "I thought he kidnapped someone I know but... Yeah, up close, he is too handsome to be the kidnapping type of evil." A correct assessment for the wrong reasons. "This must be the act of a mystical foe... I saw things during the war, but it seems occult powers are still active..." The old soldier remarks, though the nature of this still eludes him while Iron Man listens to what Jarvis has to tell him about the Norse God of Thunder, and his trickster, sinister brother. "Well if the internet doesn't lie then this Loki guy sure knows how to party. Shame he messed with me, we could've gotten along, but now I have a missile with his name on it."
A dejected Moon Knight joins in, uninvited as always. "...So where is he? Can't wait to beat his #$%& in."
...Where IS Loki?

"Hold on a second partner-" The red-white-and-blue costumed freedom fighter says, making sure he is on the same page as everyone else. "Assuming you are who you say you are, which is hard to believe as-is... The most pressing matter is who is this "Loki"? Another foreign deity?"
"Well soldier boy, Loki is-" Iron Man begins talking before he is abruptly cut off by Thor's much more boisterous voice. "Strange metal man, let me explain my brother's exploits and tales!"
Annoyed and not happy with how awful today is for him, he resists his urges to punch someone and flies away. "Well I'll be returning to my hideout. May come back later, maybe not." A slight passive-aggressive tone as he fades into the city... His ego has been wounded, and he doesn't take it well. But perhaps some hard work will help... An armor that can take down a self-proclaimed God is a challenge, but one he will enjoy.
Back to the group discussion, Moon Knight tries to contact Khonshu with no avail.
If this does anything, is convince the others that despite his insistence, Khonshu may not be real at all. Or at least real than Thor who was standing right there. "I come from thy realm of Asgard, and so does Loki, Son of Odin... He is the God of Lies, sometimes God of Mischief, and among the lesser, he is called the God of Evil... A trickster and magician like no other... And mine brother. Father made us compete for the throne, and since I was exiled, I assume he must be the only heir... So it vexes me why he would spread his magics over Midgard." Wasp has a snide comment as always. "So... We're talking some sorta mystical-magical otherworldly family drama, huh? Could he be the one who was holding Hank hostage? Looked like you but, like... Evil."
"That was a trick, you idiot, we already went over this!" Moon Knight growls as his patience wears thin. "KHONSHU! WAKE UP!"
The voice comes to his head, hitting hard like a sword cleaving through his skull.
"MARC. YOU ARE MY KNIGHT. MY WEAPON IN THIS WORLD. DO NOT WASTE YOUR BREATH MAKING DEMANDS FROM ME. YOU HAVE BEEN TRICKED DUE TO YOUR OWN FOOLISHNESS. DO NOT BLAME ME FOR IT! NOW DO AS YOU MUST TO PROTECT THE NIGHT AND STOP BOTHERING ME!"
...Of course nobody heard that, they just see him gripping his head in pain, dropping to his knees, exhausted as if he just had a terrible migraine.
Wasp, on the other hand, is checking in on Hank with the mythical magic of having a smartphone.
...And it seems he is actually unavailable for real.
No matter how hard she tries he won't pick up the calls, which would normally mean he is too absorbed in his work, but considering the circumstances...
"I think I know where we can check."

While Captain America would certainly suggest further planning and a sensible approach but even with his leadership and legendary reputation he probably cannot convince the 3 furious heroes he is grouped with that there is any reason not to storm the building. And so they will...
On the way Wasp explains where they're going:
About a year or 2 ago, renown scientist Vernon Van Dyne died under mysterious circumstances... Leaving behind his life's work and lab to his colleague and friend Hank Pym but most importantly leaving his daughter Janet Van Dyne with no remaining family. Seeking the truth, and seeking revenge, with Pym's help, she volunteered for an experiment and was modified by the Pym Particles he created, giving her wings along with the power to alter her size and shoot bio-electricity, transforming her into the heroine known as The Wasp, in order to chase the alien monster who killed her father.
While Dr. Pym being in danger is bad enough for her, his experiments and devices would be terrible if they fell into the wrong hands, and a "God of Evil" is most certainly the worst case scenario for that. Unless it's a really dumb god who cannot understand technology...

Moments later, at the Pym Labs building...
KA-BOOM!!!
Thor's hammer blows away the smoke. "You know there was probably an easier way in... Without blowing up the door. B-But we're in so whatever let's uh..." Wasp turns small and flies around, no lights, no people, sure it is late but the building looks outright abandoned.
Moon Knight goes ahead of the group, kicking in doors, trying to find any sign of where Loki might be. The captain holds his shield close...
"I assume this isn't normal for your scientist buddy?" He says as he looks around, observing all the highly advanced tech that did not exist in his era but now is casually everywhere. Will he ever get used it? "...This reminds me a bit of the HYDRA bases I used to raid a bit. No offense intended, I am sure he is a decent man. I just fear for what we may find..." Wasp should have authorization to come and go as she pleases here... But it seems someone has overridden the security system... "The main lab should be below... D-DO NOT break the floor to get there let me... Think..."

If only we had someone who could hack this. Iron Man is catching up on his Netflix shows.

"LOKI! LOKIIIII!!! GET HERE YOU $%&/(# SO I CAN %&/*?#@ YOUR #$%&/!!!"
Captain America sinks into the dark corner of the room with some papers, he really doesn't expect to understand any of it, as much as he saw of it this mad science he never got used to it, he never got any closer to understand it and now that over 80 years have passed since the war, massive gaps in his knowledge about where the world is now and yet... Miracle size-changing particles? Oversized insects? Quantum science? Different dimensions?
Hopefully Wasp is right about Dr. Pym being a good man, these concepts would be considered crazy in the 40's.

"LOOOKI! GET HERE!" Moon Knight keeps yelling, as Thor gently places his hand over a small box on the floor, A little rub, he notices signs of magic.
It all but confirms his suspicions, this must be one of his brother's tricks.
Such power reminiscent of the ancient runes, thick as mist in the air... He prepares his hammer.

Wasp meanwhile proceeds with her plan, shrinking and going through the small gap above the door... And she finds some of the ants, running away from...
"LOKI!!! COME HERE!!! YOU-" And then Wasp returns, to silence Moon Knight's yelling. Too late, since he already alerted the beasts. "YOU SHOULD'VE KEPT SHUT! WATCH OUT!" Pulling him away as the door flies off it's hinges as 3 shadowy monsters rush in!
Thor flashes his lightning to keep them at bay as the heroes regroup. "These beasts... If I am not mistaken, these come from the Isle of Silence! What could be the meaning of this?!"
"We'll have time to discuss later! Let's dispatch these freaks first!" Moon Knight prepares for battle... While Wasp nags him. "THEY WOULDN'T HAVE FOUND US IN THE FIRST PLACE IF YOU WEREN'T YELLING, BUDDY!"
"Stay on task, team." Captain America holds his shield firmly. "We ought to fight together, you like it or not!"

Thor came to the battle prepared, and unleashes a storm upon the vile creatures as soon as they charge towards the team with ill intent! Dodging a bite, he raises his hammer and the shock stuns them! Electricity courses through the mist-like monsters, allowing the brave Captain America to jump in. "I got the aerial ones!"
Throwing his shield with his characteristic and now legendary skill, the metallic disc bounces from one bird-like beast to the next, until they fall limp and dissolve into gas while Wasp shrinks to pass harmlessly through the wolf's teeth, zapping it from behind with her bolts stronger than bullets, allowing Moon Knight to pull out his truncheons and hit it from above, slaying the monster at once. "There, bug-chick, problem solved!"
"I'd still you rather not have alerted them in the first place... B-But no matter that now! We gotta hurry and get to where they came from!" Wasp claims loudly as she leads the charge, Thor flings Mjolnir to follow her in agreement. "Aye! Let us investigate this madness!"
Moon Knight, hungry for battle continues kicking doors.
The team of heroes rush downstairs with valiant purpose to find the source of the night's strange happenings... The beasts seemingly keep coming out, potentially endangering the city if let loose, and so they reach the source, the lab coated in mist and a green glow...
And next to the gigantic portal spawning the monster is... Dr. Hank Pym?! His eyes seem strange, face hidden by shadow, entranced by a foreign presence...
"HANK?!"
"Dr. Pym! I don't know what you're doing but you must turn off this machine!" The old soldier catches up, his commanding presence makes the situation feel slightly less cataclysmic, but no less urgent!
"...Hello, fools...I See... You discovered... My hideout..." This man is clearly not himself, what's going on?! "Yes... This is what... I have been looking for... I must thank the God who... Gave me this knowledge..." Dr. Pym pulls a switch, the machine growing stronger with a horrid hum!

Screw secret identities, perhaps it is just the urgency of the situation, but Janet Van Dyne throws caution in the wind as she approaches her most trusted Hank Pym, hoping this will be enough to get through to him! "Hank! Come on, it's me, Jan! W-What's going on here?! Turn it off right now!'"
As the rest attempt to charge into battle, the man who in other universes became one of Earth's Mightiest, explains the goal of this experiment: "Jan... The monster that took your father... Was from a different dimension..." A cold sweat rises in the Wasp, who realizes all too late what his secret project was. "This was all to help you... You see?"
"I was stuck... But... Tonight... GOD Spoke to me!"
Thor recognizes something in Dr. Pym as he battles the beasts... Something quite sinister! "By Odin's beard! He has been ensorcelled by Loki himself! The influence is so strong, that means he must be near! Do not listen to his lies, insect lady!"
Captain America fights valiantly and Moon Knight prepares for a leap, hoping to destroy the threat from the source. "LOKI!!! YOU WILL FACE JUSTICE TONIGHT-"
His battle cry cut short as the swirling magic concentration... A hand pops out, grabbing and strangling the ivory-cloaked hero with a surprising might!
"I'd rather not sully my hands with mortal filth, but it seems you "heroes" of Midgard are too useless to even slay each other in battle!" A surge of magic energy knocks Thor's magical hammer out of his hand, and Captain America must use his shield, scraping across the floor to not be flung into a wall!
"Retreat! Retreat!" He yells a bit too late, as Thor is overwhelmed by the monsters, his helmet, armor and Asgardian strength being the only things stopping one of the wolves from biting his head off! Without his thunder, he struggles! An excited Dr. Pym shoves Wasp aside carelessly, much to her outrage... "It works! Yes! Proof of life! We can head into the Microverse! W-We can save Vernon!"
"FOOL!!! You are of no use to Loki anymore! If my father denies me my birthright, if he denies me Asgard, then I will simply do as our followers of old: Pillage and conquer! Starting with Midgard! Bow before your new ruler!" While he certainly has a knack for theatrics, Captain America stands to him.
"I bow to no one, and neither does America!"

Meanwhile, somewhere far away from the lab...
"Sir, the news are claiming strange shadow monsters are on the streets... Are you sure you're not ready yet?"
"Last adjustments, Jarvis!"

Iron Man prepares for battle, as he flies out of the garage with 90% of his normal power, hoping he is not too late.

Meanwhile, back at the lab, Janet tries to get Hank's attention, but he just keeps rambling what comes off like nonsense. "Other realms! Other lives! Worlds beyond our comprehension, big, small! Jan, Vernon might still be alive-" Before he can finish his track of thought, an enraged Wasp who will have none of this nonsense, slaps him right on the face.
Perhaps a bit too hard. "Snap out of it already!" She exclaims as Hank falls to the floor with a "Gweh-!"
And he's out cold! Which may be the safest he can be with a mad god on the room... Though it brings up the question of how to stop the machine and if anyone else knows how.
Loki pulls himself out of the portal, still holding Moon Knight in a deadly grip, but the protector of the night is never out of options! Pulling out his grappling hook, he swings it as an impromptu weapon towards his face, which does no damage to the invader but surprises him enough that he lets go of his neck. "You BASTARD! For raising arms against me, you shall be the first one to perish!" Loki floats above, hurling magical bolts at Moon Knight!
While his back is turned, Thor struggles against the beasts, and even without his hammer his Asgardian might honed over the years cannot be simply dismissed! He picks up the wolf, holding the jaws with his hands and pulling until the enemy is ripped in half as Thor screams from the effort "GRAAAH!!!". Wasp flies between the monster's remains as it turns into mist like the others, blasting the birds out of the sky and flying circles around the horned god... "Get off me, insect!"
This distracts Loki enough for Captain America to swiftly strike him right in the face with his shield, sending him plummeting to the floor!
As the heroes gather around him, Thor picks up his hammer... It looks like they've won, but is it truly safe. "He may look beaten, but beware, my brother has been known to play dead before striking..."
"We need to end this, fast!" Moon Knight says, staring into the portal.

As Iron Man tries to catch up, he is slightly slowed down as he sees the night skies of New York infested with flying entities of unknown origin, threatening the population... He could stay back and fight them off, but then he will take even longer... "No time for regrets..."

"You insolent mortals! I will show you the true might of Lo--!" Thor walks over, and drops Mjolnir on Loki's back, since only Thor may lift the hammer, this effectively immobilizes him on the spot, preventing him from casting any more illusions... Which means Moon Knight can safely take his frustrations out on him, which he does by literally kicking the so-called god while he is down. "Vengeance!" He exclaims as he kicks away... Of course this doesn't mean the threat is over, the portal is still open. "Undo your spells you otherworldly cretin!" Moon Knight demands, to which Loki can only shrink further. "I-I am not doing anything! Okay! J-Just you wait, I will get free and you will all suffer my wrath!"

Captain America and Wasp hurry to the side of Dr. Pym, who is... Well still unconscious. Thankfully Cap saw those papers earlier... "Okay, work with me here Wasp."
"That's the idea, yeah but uh... Where... To even start..." Wasp looks at the controls, or what seem to be controls? There's many switches, but the central part seems to be 8 rectangular boxes in groups of 2, with one bigger in the middle... "Geez, this reminds me of a puzzle..."

Finally catching up, Iron Man reaches the secret underground lab. "Yeah I just followed the trail of destruction... I guess uh, the horned guy's Loki? I see you already got him handled... And... Big evil portal? Right... Oh boy..." Moon Knight bites back. "No thanks to you, tin-can! Did you at least stop the monsters from getting out?"
"I... Got a friend working on it, but I figured you'd have a better chance with me here."
Not being kicked for a bit, Loki tries to catch his breath, as Thor explains... "If we dispel the magical mist, they shall all wither at once... But we must close the portal first or else it will keep coming."
Captain America and Wasp discuss, as the unconscious Hank mutters some nonsense... "Kosmos... In-between... The creature... Must... Find... Pilai..."
"Okay, so, Pym Particles shrink things using the 'space between molecules' or something along those lines?" Wasp tries to explain. "And we theorize we might find... Gateways to other worlds... Using such space?" As the Captain tries pressing the rectangular boxes together, from the papers he saw he did know some of this. "These must regulate the outflow to decide the direction... We can probably reverse it somehow..."
"Yeah but doing it wrong will probably implode a large area of this building or country... S-So yeah, no pressure, Cap!"
What will they do...?

Thor, having seemingly foiled his brother, sits on top of him. A show of dominance or simple bullying like when they grew up together?
"Brother."
"...Brother." Loki snarls under his breath. "I see you are still quite the thunderous brute..."
Thor seems to enjoy this, but more over than that, he wants a talk. "And I see thou art still quite the troublemaker. What led you to attack Midgard?"
"Father exiled me! J-Just as he did to you!" Loki complains, conveniently leaving out the part where he tried to stab him. "Starting to think that old man simply doesn't want any heirs left to take his throne... He shoved me to the isle of silence, because he was afraid of my words! Surely you understand..."
"Enough, Loki."
A short silence as he gathers his thoughts, Thor continues: "I have been in Midgard for months, shut off from the gold realm... Thou spend, what, a week at most in the dreaded Isle of Silence and your first instinct when you manage to find a way out is to hunt for me head? Even if it threatens an entire realm? Hast thou not grown out of childhood already, little brother?"
Growing frustrated, Loki can only yell "Oh spare me your speeches! Had you not opposed me this entire world would be ours but NOOOO! You MUST stand up for these pathetic mortals... For what? Praise? Admiration?! Some twisted sense of morality?!"
The mighty Thor was known for being surprisingly chill.
He simply yawns at the suggestion that the only reason he would do this was for some old-fashioned need for worship. "Dear Brother, Gods are not meant to exist only to control the masses... Nay, I would not be worthy of Mjolnir did I not understand this... Thou art merely afraid of thy own weakness, art thou not?"
"W-What? No! Preposterous! Well- Maybe. Err... A bit? W-What the hell do you know? I-I am not weak I can crush any human's skull with a single hand!"
"Not in a physical sense... Besides, thine power was always on the magical side of matter..." Thor explains. "Yet thine mind is weak, if thou must resort to such chaos to escape a punishment you likely brought upon thyself."
Loki is silent.
"...I suggest thou consider thine exile an opportunity for reflection, my poor, misguided, evil brother..."
He was not only defeated, he was shamed. Quietly swearing his revenge as Thor asks the other heroes... "Hey! How is it going over there?!"

Moon Knight looks at the 3 heroes gathered next to the machine's controls as well. "...You got this? I'm going outside to round up some monsters, okay?" Though her interactions with him haven't been the best so far, Wasp is the one who (reluctantly) goes "...Okay Moonboy, take care out there and stuff."

Iron Man gathers up with the rest, no time to catch up, they had a machine to defuse.
Captain America and The Wasp try to explain what they have so far to him, but he doesn't pay much attention... Or at least he acts like he doesn't.
Wasp manages to get Hank to open his eyes... And while he is no longer mind-controlled she has to hold him down to stop him from interrupting the process, he doesn't seem to want them to close his "special project" anyway... Obsessive as he always was, he did not take it lightly, but if it was for the benefit of mankind... "Well, you must do as I say... Understood?"
Soon enough, he told Iron Man and Captain America to press in the 4 boxes on the sides... But was he telling the truth, or just using them to continue the experiment? "...H-Hold on, that math doesn't add up! Are you SURE we can trust him?" Says Iron Man, who, while smart, has never worked with these quantum mechanics before.
"...I-I can't say for sure. Come on Hank! Cooperate!"
"but... Jan... We can get to your father..."
"There is no time!" Chuckles Loki on the other side of the room. "Oh, this is HILARIOUS. The portal is gonna rip space if you let it be any longer! And your main guide might be lying to you!" Thor slaps him over the helmet to quiet him down, but he was right...
Saving the world leaned on a coin-flip! As Moon Knight meets up with Jarvis and New York is engulfed in a mystical smog, what will happen?!

Moon Knight quickly notices Jarvis, hiding in a car and using remote-controlled Stark drones to get rid of the monsters that are outside. Of course that makes him an excellent target for interrogation.
In true Moon Knight fashion he breaks the glass with a punch, enters the car and threatens to strike him while holding his crescent darts. "YOU! You work with the robot! Do you also control him?! What is your deal?!" But even then Jarvis does his duty, he stays calm and collected... "Iron Man is not a robot. He is Anthony Stark's bodyguard. I will not reveal his identity." Stoic, serious, loyal to the end. Moon Knight can see he is gonna get nothing. "Well, right now he is trying to shut off a crazy machine!"
"...C-Can you take me to him?" Jarvis was a bit concerned, but shouldn't let it show. Either way, he went with Moon Knight back to the center of it all once it seems the situation on the outside is not improving much.

"Brother..." Thor continued calmly. "Perhaps it would be wise if thou stayed in Midgard... There is so much we can learn from these people." Moon Knight and Jarvis come back to see the two brothers bickering while not far from there, the "smart" ones try to fix things. "I... I suppose you're right. I have been looking down on these mortals for so long but maybe I must learn from them, rather than attempting to control them." Loki says, his tone regretful and earnest. Thor looks at him, and then smiles, though he was more worried about the portal that hasn't been stopped yet. "...Aye, I suppose I could let thou go, if thou've--" As SOON as he lifts the hammer from his back Loki teleports away and HURLS Thor away and slams him into the floor with his magic. "STILL falling for the old fake surrender, Thor?! Your benevolence truly is your greatest weakness! Even if dragged to Hel I won't stop!"
Moon Knight strikes him with a dart.
"...Well, well..." Loki turns his sinister, psychotic grin to the protector of the night. "Maybe you and your balding friend will die first! I am not feeling picky tonight!"

Not far away though, there was another conflict going, though it was much less physical... As Pym rambles in a state of half-consciousness, Wasp picks him up and starts shaking him in search of a serious and straightforward answer. "Hank! Come on you gotta tell us how it is! F-Father's dead, you SAW him die! Now stop saying nonsense and tell us how to shut this thing off!"
As Captain America, warrior of freedom, pushes in the box on the side... Iron Man doubts, something in Hank and Jan's move him, for Iron Man isn't an automaton or a machine, below that hard shell beats the heart of a man! One that might ironically spell their doom! "Mr-- Dr. Pym! Okay! I will help I will fund further experiments just tell us what to do I will--!" His lack of action, motivated by an earnest sense of good, stops him from acting in time... So Hank does!

As Loki battles... He is suddenly pulled away! "W-Wait! Stop! I was kidding!"

A rip in space! The portal bursts into a vortex. Hank Pym has jumped at the center of the machine, to shut it off for good! The space being contracted all around the room in chaos, pulling in the magical mist and destroying all the shadow creatures in an instant, pulling in Loki as he screams, and Hank... Lets himself be dragged along. "T-This... This was my fault! This must be... My deserved punishment!" He tries to hold onto Janet, but slips away, accepting, with excitement, that he does not know where he will end up next.
"HAAAAANK!!!" Wasp screams, but has no time to worry, as everyone and everything in the room is also pulled into the void. Moon Knight grabs Jarvis and shoots his grappling hook at the floor, dangling from a thread in a literal way! Iron Man overclocks his thrusters! Thor hurls Mjolnir as hard as he can to get away from the gravitational pull! Captain America can do nothing but run, with nothing to hold on, he would be lost if Wasp didn't catch him!

The vile liar god and his army of beasts have vanished, banished to an unknown fate, but so did a brave scientist and a dear friend... And no matter how hard he tries...
Thor knew he did have the power to escape this strange cosmic vortex either... But he saw the other heroes, the defenders of Midgard... Their brave souls shall not be snuffed into the realm of his sister Hela tonight! Moon Knight's wire has snapped! Iron Man is running out of power! The Wasp and Captain America were lost and warping! There was but one choice to make...
A fateful decision...!

He calls up all his thunder, and with a mighty swing throws his hammer, which is infinitely heavy to anyone unworthy of it, to the floor of the underground lab!
"HEROES OF MIDGARD! HOLD ONTO MJOLNIR!!!"

One by one, with big effort, pushing themselves to their absolute physical limit, they grab the hammer, and each other: Iron Man pulls it off with one last ditch effort, grabbing the handle, and Moon Knight onto him! Captain America grabs his cape and is held by Wasp, pulling all her strength... To hold Jarvis, a complete stranger to her, right before he plunges into the same nothingness that has swallowed the others!
Alas, their heroism has come as a terrible cost.
As the lab collapses and the vortex implodes, leaving nothing but dust and charred machinery around it, so do the ones that saved the day...
Barely escaping what seemed like certain death and stopping the attack on the city, but not without losses: Thor and Dr. Pym disappeared into a portal to who-knows-where...
The air is silent, heavy, and sad.

Moon Knight dusts off his suit, being the first one to get up. He is unsure how to feel about what just happened. His adventures tend to be rather crazy with magical nonsense he has developed a tolerance to but this felt like something different. Lots of things he did not understand, lots of problems without resolutions, open answers that he couldn't ignore. As Iron Man rises next to him, he lets out a breath of relief. "...We made it. I am... Still here, on Earth..."
Jarvis is awakened by the armored avenger, who opens his mask, not worrying about his secret anymore.
"Hey. Jarvis. Up. We lived somehow, buddy." He was a bit... Dizzy to say the least, as he walks away. "...I will go get the car. That was way above my job qualifications."

Janet Van Dyne opens her eyes, looking around the demolished, charred room... She feels too weak, too unmotivated to stand until Captain America helps her back to her feet. Iron Man tries to aid too but she slaps his hand away. Someone was clearly upset. Even the shock of seeing that the robotic hero was in fact a human in a metal suit.
He walks over to where the machine's main mechanics were. It's all fried, nothing salvageable. He leans over it but he cannot do much. "Promise you will fix it. Promise... We can save him." Wasp says with a pensive, yet determined look on her face. As Captain America pats her on the back, Tony Stark picks up a piece of rubble, a small burned box containing bouncing Pym Particles.
"I will use funds, yes. I will... We will find Hank. We saved the city. We can save one more person. Thor, too..." Determination from him, too. Captain America nods in agreement. Wasp looks into the destroyed tunnel to another dimension.
"...And even if we can't. We will Avenge them."
Moon Knight was turning to leave... But stops, sometimes, even he needs allies. If it wasn't for Thor he would be a goner, all of them would be.
Walking back to them just as Iron Man suggests "Well, I doubt any of us would've lived past that on our own. Perhaps we should keep in contact in case a threat as huge as that."
"A squad of heroes... Just like in the old days... I'm in." Captain America says, stepping forwards. Moon Knight comes next, putting his hand on the circle. "I might regret it, but screw it, let's do this... We'll probably need a name, though."
"Well... That's easy, we can be The Avengers, or..." Wasp says. And that settles it.
Iron Man raises his fist in victory. "That's it. We are... THE AVENGERS!"


And there came a day, a day unlike any other, when Earth's mightiest heroes found themselves united against a common threat! On that day, the Avengers were born, to fight the foes no single super hero could withstand!

The End... For now?

>>6193313

I'm surprised you're putting the end so soon

>>6193313
(And that's the end of what I'd like to call the "pilot episode"/proof of concept for Avengers Quest! Congrats on making it this far and thanks for participating.)
(Now I would like to hear feedback and opinions on how it went! I would like to continue this if the reception is good obviously though I also have other quest I would also like to get back to. I am a huge classic Marvel fan and I hope it showed in this quest so far.)
(But for now I will pause and wait to hear what anons have to say, and get back to it later. I definitely will change the format a bit to be easier for me and prepare further by drawing more things and backgrounds beforehand, but for now, until next time true believers!)

>>6193321
I think the format for voting and such is very unique, and encouraged some creative thinking. It also produced usual and interesting outcomes. If the playerbase shrunk even slightly, though, I could see it taking forever to get enough votes for an update. Maybe something like a "vote for two characters" system could speed that sort of thing up, with the most popular action for each character winning,or a roll off for a tie? it would slightly complicate tallying votes, but not unbearably so I wouldn't think, and it could help avoid that and encourage more debate and discussion.

Either way, the sprite-art was badass, the writing for fun and peppy, the pacing good, the mechanics unique, the vibe meticulous. I liked it, and look forward to more!

>>6193313
I knew the name had to come from somewhere so we'd have to lose someone, but I didn't expect it to be Thor.
>>6193321
That was great fun, QM. The sprite work is great and the writing is really old school comic in the best way. I'd love to play this quest again in the future.
I don't really have any complaint, the one vote per character system is interesting and it would be even more fun with more players involved for the full schizo experience.

>>6193321
Great job QM, it was very enjoyable

Well yeah this was intended like an episodic thing, that was just the first "issue" so to speak
>>6193333
Yeah having to wait on 5 people might be a problem but I am hoping it will simply not be. Having 2 votes sounds like a good compromise on paper but it will be more trouble than it's worth
>>6193381
Thank you, yeah more players would get chaotic, which might be fun, after all the team only has 4 members currently so... We probably need to recruit more heroes next time

Well, if such situation arises, you can just lock the votes for the characters with a vote and have anons take a 2nd round to vote on the remaining one(s)

>>6195445
I think from now on I will simply decide on ties myself if there's no tie-breaker by the time I gotta post.

Anyway, what better way to check for interest than by giving people important choices!
VERY IMPORTANT CHOICES! ANYONE CAN VOTE ON THESE

The Avengers are formed, but they need some sort of headquarters to coordinate and gather! Will it be...?
>A big mansion, inherited by Stark, but unused... For now. Lots of space.
>Cap could move some strings and get a military base... Secret, obviously.
>Pym Labs can be repurposed into a good HQ, a good base to work from.
>Something more lowkey, rather than a big recognizable place... An office.

And once that is decided...
What will be their next adventure? Select Your Mission! What threat will the newly formed Avengers face next?!
All 3 of these contain (missable) chances to recruit new members to the team. Keep this in mind when voting.
>AN ANCIENT THREAT FROM THE DEPTHS BELOW!
>AN INTERNATIONAL THREAT TO ANOTHER COUNTRY!
>A STRANGE THREAT FROM BEYOND KNOWN SPACE!

>>6195960
>Pym Labs can be repurposed into a good HQ, a good base to work from.
>AN ANCIENT THREAT FROM THE DEPTHS BELOW!
Underground labs, underground foes, maybe? A Pym lab makes sense given we have to save/avenge Hank.

>>6195960
>Cap could move some strings and get a military base... Secret, obviously.

>AN INTERNATIONAL THREAT TO ANOTHER COUNTRY!

>>6195960
>A big mansion, inherited by Stark, but unused... For now. Lots of space.
>AN ANCIENT THREAT FROM THE DEPTHS BELOW!

Avenger's Mansion is peak

>>6195960
>Cap could move some strings and get a military base... Secret, obviously.
>AN ANCIENT THREAT FROM THE DEPTHS BELOW!

Makes me think of Namor.

Also because of how the voting works and my timezone this is my first vote here despite me having followed the thread for a while

>>6195960
>Pym Labs can be repurposed into a good HQ, a good base to work from.
The portal's still here, so we can have Stark look over it whenever we're waiting around.
>AN INTERNATIONAL THREAT TO ANOTHER COUNTRY!
I want it to be Latveria but there's no way our "team" can stand up against the might of DOOM.
Also, I'm curious, QM, did you expect us to lose Thor in the first run? I got a feeling that we were supposed to lose Hank instead but then we fucked up bad and lost both of them.

>>6195960
>Cap could move some strings and get a military base... Secret, obviously.
>AN ANCIENT THREAT FROM THE DEPTHS BELOW!
TERROR FROM THE DEEP!
AVENGERS IN THE HOLLOW EARTH!
WHAT WILL THEY UNCOVER?!

Haha, nope! He was the most voted but the decisions taken lead to it. I wouldn't say "fucking up badly" is a huge problem though, it makes the story more unexpected and fascinating and different.
>>6196097
>AVENGERS IN THE HOLLOW EARTH!
Aw man that's such a better idea than what I had in mind.

>Pym Labs can be repurposed into a good HQ, a good base to work from.
Mjolnir's still here and will be for the foreseeable future, unless some wacky shenanigans occur
>AN INTERNATIONAL THREAT TO ANOTHER COUNTRY!
Oooh, new recruits (possibly)

>>6196315

>>Pym Labs can be repurposed into a good HQ, a good base to work from.

>AN INTERNATIONAL THREAT TO ANOTHER COUNTRY!

Wacky shenanigans WILL occur. This is Non-negotiable.

Also I keep forgetting my name.

>>6195960
>Pym Labs can be repurposed into a good HQ, a good base to work from.

I kind of wanted the mansion but this is my 2nd favorite and the former would feel too much like XMen I think

An international threat is pretty open for speculation.
Hell, we might just be going to Canada because they're under attack or something. Since QM said that there's going to be recruitment opportunity, it won't be a fully hostile country.
Imagine if we get Captain Canada, Captain Britain, or whatever other Captains there are in the world right now.

When an attack on a hidden nation in Africa puts the entire world at risk, the newly formed Avengers must hop into action to prevent a twisted man's ambition from dooming everyone! Racing against the clock and fighting for freedom in a foreign land, can the Avengers survive in a world... In a Wakanda... With NO BLACK PANTHER?! Next time, in Avengers Quest...
