Chapter 99

Logan's POV

"Where is the staff and that idiot Loki?" The black robed alien demanded the location of Loki and his staff once again.

"That idiot Loki! We had given him our most valued possesion just so that he could retrieve the Tessaract. But not only did he not get the Tessaract, even got captured and lost the staff."

The black robed alien continued speaking in a monologue as if he didn't care that we were here, listening to his plans.

"Now tell me everything you know about Loki and the staff or get ready to face my wrath!" As the black robed alien threatened us with these words, the debris lying around him vibrated as if feeling the weight of his power.

Damn it! I cursed as I saw the alien threatening us since I could not do anything against him. If he had any other ability, I would have fought him fearlessly no matter how powerful he was but with his telekinesis, I would not even be able to reach him, much less attack him.

If Ororo had been here, I could have fought him with her help but unfortunately she was outside, taking care of the invading aliens. And Peter, Professor and the girls were still at Kamar Taj.

I could only see one way. I had to stall him, for however long possible so that others could come to help us.

"Loki and that staff are not on this Helicarrier. Where they are, I don't know." I replied, the answer being technically correct since I didn't know the exact location of Kamar Taj.

"Of course, I know that. The only reason I had to come to this uncivilized planet was because we had suddenly lost all connection with the staff." The black roped alien said, revealing the reason he had suddenly arrived on Earth.

To think that the staff had a tracker which could be used several light years away and it was important enough that they had come in just a few hours to collect it.

"We will continue our conversation. But let me first get what I have come for." Saying these words, the alien pointed his hand towards the box which held the Tessaract and sucked it towards himself.

"No, you don't." Agent Natasha suddenly fired at the alien with her gun upon seeing it try to steal the Tessaract.

Damn it! I cursed as I saw Agent Natasha's sudden act. The gunfire would not do much against the alien and instead make him hostile towards us if he was not already.

As expected, the bullets stopped in midair with a simple movement of the alien's hand as the box arrived in its hands.

"I have to applaud your bravery, human woman. But unfortunately, you are powerless." With another movement of its hand, the alien suddenly sucked Agent Natasha towards himself.

"Don't you dare touch her!" I unleashed my metal claws and rushed towards the alien but a sudden force acted on me, causing me to fly and hit a wall.

The alien suspended Agent Natasha in the air and spoke in its robotic voice.

"I have endured you idiots for far too long. Now, speak human woman. Where is the staff and Loki? Otherwise, I shall rip you apart limb by limb." The alien threatened Agent Natasha and forced her to tell everything she knew.

It was truly a tough moment. I didn't know what I should do.

"Release her!" Suddenly, a rough voice came from behind me.

I looked back to see that it was actually Dr. Banner who had said these words. His skin had taken a light green hue and it looked like he was ready to transform at any moment.

"Or what?" The alien asked arrogantly.

"Or face the wrath of Hulk!" Dr. Banner roared, his voice completely different from before.

He ran towards alien, his body transforming rapidly. By the time he reached the alien, he had already transformed into the fearsome monster known as the Hulk.

"Huh! You may have some tricks but they are useless." The alien said arrogantly as it pointed its hand towards the Hulk.

Hulk shot a punch at the alien but his fist suddenly paused in mid air as if stopped by some force, likely a telekinetic barrier by that alien.

Yet, it was only for a mere second as the fist soon continued after overwhelming the teleknetic barrier.

The alien was clearly surprised by this series of events as it hastily threw away Agent Natasha and tried to fly away from Hulk's punch using its telekinesis but could not dodge it due to the close range.

The punch hit the alien, causing it to crash into a nearby wall. But it seems that its attempt to escape had still helped the alien because aside from a few cracks on his mask, he seemed to be looking fine overall.

"You fine, Natasha." I asked Agent Natasha as I approached her to access her condition.

"I am fine." Agent Natasha assured me.

"Roar~."

Hulk roared and leapt towards the alien once again. He was once again stopped in his tracks and he bent down a little this time. The alien telekinetic was using his telekinesis at full power to stop Hulk.

"What kind of beast are you?" The alien said, fully focused on oppressing Hulk.

"Hulk angry!" Hulk said as he roared and suddenly he broke free from the alien's grasp and attacked him once again.

The alien was prepared this time as he dodged Hulk's punches by flying beyond his reach.

Instead of engaging the Hulk once again, the alien flew away, going through the hole from which he had entered with Hulk following right after.

"Stay here, Natasha." I said to Agent Natasha and chased after them.

"Why are you so persistent, you beast?" The alien said furiously as he repeatedly dodged Hulk's punches while attempting to escape.

Soon, I could see that they had reached the end of the metaphorical road, i.e., they had reached the end of the Helicarrier.

Yet, the Hulk seemed to have no fear or even realisation of where he was as he continued to rain punches towards the alien telekinetic.

And soon, what I had feared happened. Upon reaching the hole, the alien dodged Hulk's punch by moving sideways and pushed Hulk outside the helicarrier using its telekinesis.

"No matter how strong you are, you are just a mere beast." The alien laughed at Hulk's simplicity as it saw him falling down.

"Hold right there!"

Just as the alien was about to leave the Helicarrier, a sudden thunderbolt hit it out of nowhere.

I let out a sigh of relief as I saw Ororo appear with a literal storm above her.

No matter how strong the alien's telekinesis was, there was no way he could block Ororo's thunderbolts.

"Indeed, since you have arrived on Earth, let us give you a proper welcome." Iron Man said as he too appeared on the scene.

"You think you can defeat me!" The alien said furiously as he rose up. Smoke was releasing from his suit and his mask was much more cracked.

Several parts of the Helicarrier's debris rose in the air due to the alien's power as we prepared to face him.

But to everyone's surprise, instead of engaging us, he flew away towards his spaceship.

"Ha! Why would I fight needlessly with you when I can get the staff easily after this planet is in our hands?" The alien said arrogantly as he flew away.

Ororo launched a literal shower of thunderbolts at him and Iron Man shot his laser beams along with the missiles at the alien yet he blocked every single attack with the debris.

As soon as the alien entered the spaceship, it flew away, leaving behind the remaining alien soldiers who were still outside ruthlessly.

I sighed sadly as I realised that we had lost the Tessaract once again.

I think that many of you may have realised who is this alien telekinetic. If you have not, I will give you a hint. He is one of Thanos' men.
