22 Idiocy

Chapter 22. Idiocy

"*Cough* *Cough* I might know how to stop it." From behind Michael and Natasha, someone spoke. They turned around and saw the once knocked out Dr.Selvig on his feet coughing.

"How?" Natasha asked.

"The staff, I think it can stop it." The doc said.

Natasha and Michael looked at the lower floors of the building and saw the staff on the ground, while Hulk was torturing Loki.

"I'll go and take it." Michael said and teleported directly to the place and teleported back.

"You can do that?" Natasha asked, bewildered.

"Yes, I recently learned the trick. Why?" Michael asked as he leaned the staff onto his shoulder.

"Just… didn't know."

Michael ignored Natasha and then neared the Tesseract.

"So I just push it in?" Michael asked Dr. Selvig.

"I-I believe so.."

Michael nodded and with the point of the staff, pushed it inside the force field.

As if cutting butter, the staff drove right in and the tesseract started to tremble.

The energy ray got cut off and the portal above New York City started to get smaller.

Some members of the Avengers team already made their way to the top of the Stark Tower and looked above them.

The portal closed and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, Iron Man said, "I'm sorry to spoil the tuna but a missile is heading our way. "

Michael's eyes widened, 'Fuck!! I forgot about that'.

"What!" Steve exclaimed.

Michael thought for a second and said, "I have an idea." He had forgotten about the missile, but he could get rid of it, he knew he couldn't just open the portal again and send the missile there into the Chitauri ship.

"I and Tony will stop the missile, You guys go and stop the Chitauri that are left in the streets.

Since the ship wasn't destroyed, the Chitauri were still alive. They are cybernetically advanced sentient beings that are alive thanks to their ship serving as a motherboard for then. If we can't shut down the motherboard, they will have to be killed manually.

"Ok so what's your plan?" asked Tony.

Michael turned to him and said, "Find me a location where I can drop it off."

Tony widened his arms, "Do I look like GPS to you?" He put on his mask again and then answered, "Nowhere. You can only blow it in the sky, but anyone near it blows along. We also got to hurry, it'll pass Vermont in 3 minutes and land in New York. "

Michael scratched his head frantically.

He felt stupid for thinking he had everything in control. He underestimated this world and the emotions of creatures. He thought he was smarter than any of them in any way possible, yet now he couldn't deal with just a simple missile.

"I'll do it." Tony said.

Michael panicked, "No… If I do it then, there's a chance of survival, if you do it, you won't get out of there alive."

"I knew you were hiding something." Both Tony and Michael recognized the voice. They turned and saw a redhead, blood tickling near her lip.

She said, "If the two of you are going to be wusses, how about you give me the suit and do it myself Stark."

Michael chuckled, "You're right. I'm being a wuss." Then he floated in the air and said, "Wish me luck."

Natasha looked him dead in the eye and said, "I'm definitely paying you back for taking advantage of me back there. So you better come back." Her hair flowed with the wind, creating a mesmerizing view for Michael.

He smiled and responded, "Sure.."

Michael accelerated and flew upwards with directions towards Vermont.

He flew the fastest he ever has and reached in there in two minutes.

He saw the missile passing through the clouds like a rocket.

Michael's eyes glowed purple as he neared the missile. He received the missile in his hands and flew backward along with it due to its speed.

"Aghh!" Slowly, he pushed the rocket upwards, making it go upwards.

As soon as it reached fifty meters.

Michael summoned a destructive energy blast on his palm and shot it toward the missile.

Whooosh!

The moment the two made impact, nothing could be heard for Michael. Not because the sound of the missile blowing up was high pitched, or the wind was too stable, but because he used his shifting ability on his head, nothing impacting it. No sound, radiation, shockwaves, or pieces of metal.

As for the other parts of his body, he surrounded them with his telekinetic barrier, while also having constructed a huge shield.

Even with all those measures, he was blasted away with fast speed. The gigantic smoke and fire could be seen from all over New York.

His body flew downwards like a kite without restraint, unconscious, he couldn't stop. Maybe even if he was awake he wouldn't be able to muster the strength to stop.

Tony saw this and immediately turned on his thrusters and made his way to Michael.

"I got you I got you."

He picked Michael and then went back on the stark building.

Michael's body was riddled with scars and burn marks.

'Ok, he needs an ambulance' thought Tony and picked him up once again and headed to a hospital.

.....

In a sterile white room, Michael lays unconscious and could be seen through the glass.

"How is he doing doctor?" Natasha asked.

The doctor had black hair with a little white on the sides.

"After three hours long surgery by me, he's going to be fine."

"Thank you, doctor Strange, your work truly is one of a kind." Tony shook his hand and the doctor left.

"Where the hell am I?" Michael had already woken up and looked around. He felt stiff in every place of his body.

Click!

Natasha entered the room and said, "You're in a private hospital. You almost lost your life."

Michael chuckled as he rubbed his hurting head, "I just paid the price I deserved."

Natasha arched her brow, "Price for what, saving more than 4 million people?"

"No, for being an idiot and arrogant." Michael looked up and sighed.

"You might be a narcissist and prideful, but they aren't the worst traits you can get." Natasha flashed a smile.

"Anyways, how is the situation?" Michael removed the blanket and tried to stand up, pain attacking his body.

"Stay down, you almost died. You only survived because some weird energy came out of your body when you were unconscious, or even Doctor Strange wouldn't be able to save you." Natasha pushed him back.

"Doctor Strange?" Michael asked.

"Yeah, he is one of the best doctors in America, apparently Stark is a friend of his friend."

"I see."

Steven Strange is only a doctor right now and still hasn't gotten into that accident where he loses his hand and goes on a journey to find a way to fix his hand back, only to discover Kamar-Taj, where Yao is waiting for him.

Michael used his healing energy and the pain in his abdomen lessened.

"It's fine... I can walk."
