Andrew's P.O.V

Night

I arrived in front of the Fisk Tower and casually stepped inside with my hands in my pocket as i rode the elevator and pressed the button for the highest floor.

Ding!

With the usual sound of the elevator opening, I stepped outside and was greeted by a what seemed to be a secretary.

"Hello sir, do you have some sort of appointment with Mr. Fisk? If not, then i may need to ask you to leave and come back later.." The woman spoke to me with a professional tone.

I wasn't about to waste my time like this so i just walked past her which startled her as she tried to catch up to stop me.

I arrived in front of the door of the office of Fisk and just opened it and stepped inside.

Fisk who was sitting behind his desk while reviewing some papers lift his head to look at me. I made eye contact with him as realization dawned on him as he turned to the woman still trying to make me leave the room. "I got an appointment with him, you can go now."

"Uh, okay, sir." The secretary quickly nodded and left the room.

After she left, I walked and plopped my butt in the soft couch as i exhaled a comfortable groan. I then passed my hands to my face and changed it to my Andrew look.

Fisk put down his pen and looked at me with a bit of amazement seeing what i did while saying "So, where have you been if i may ask? Where's also your group?"

I leaned my back more to the couch and psionically summoned the Tv control to my hands and opened the Television as i answered "We got into some fights with some enemies, and they, unfortunately, didn't make it."

Fisk seems to be a bit lost for words after hearing that but then he spoke again "I'm sorry.. Wait, someone managed to kill them? Like how? You four are like, one of the strongest mutants out there, right?"

"Yeah, it's a really strong mutant.." I was really glad that that Cassandra was now dead "But nah, we're still not strongest mutants out there.."

"*Clap*! But anyway, can you prepare the papers, i want to go to Spain. I need to see something there for a moment." I clapped my hands as i stood up and asked him.

"Hmm, it'll all be ready by tomorrow." Fisk nodded seriously.

I nodded in reply and went out of the office and came back to the room that me and the group used to use.

I plopped on the bed and immediately fell asleep comfortably.

[Seville, Spain]

After a long, boring ride in the plane towards Spain. I finally arrived, I took on a new identity as both Andrew and the new body persona isn't really usable.

Sigh.. It's a pity Azazel wasn't here, that guy is the best instant taxi you can get in this world after all.

Anyway. The reason I'm here is the same reason that i had when John, Illyana and Azazel was still alive. And it was to find a certain asgardian that goes by the human name of Elliot Randolph.

I'm not really familiar with the whole Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D show and only heard and read a few stuff about it on the internet in my past life.

And so the only thing that i know about that show was there was an Asgardian, The Inhumans, Ghost Rider and a flying car.

And that's pretty much all i know as I didn't do anymore research about it.

What i want from this Asgardian named Elliot was his Berserker Staff that he broke into some pieces and hid around the globe.

And so, I'm now on my way to his place to "ask" him where he hid this pieces.

Before arriving in Spain, I did a few things and searched his name and found out that the guy was living as a Norse Mythology professor at the University of Seville.

And if you're wondering why would i seek that weapon? Well, i want to see if i can analyze the magic that is engraved in it.

The Berserker Staff, just like its namesake was – according to my memory – a weapon that empowers its users using anger or rage.

While i don't really want a weapon like that, what i actually want from it was – just like i said – its magic.

Even though I'm already plenty strong – by normal standards – considering the things that i can do, I am still bothered by the fact that i don't know anything about magic and the danger that it poses to me.

For all i know, my power may get sealed or something if i met a sorcerer of some kind in the future.

I just hope that i can learn and have a grasp on magic just by analyzing that weapon as i don't want to learn magic from places like Kamar Taj, as I'm pretty sure that they wouldn't even accept me and I'm also wary of that Ancient One.

[University of Seville]

I went inside the university unimpeded as i strolled around for a bit to see the wonders of the place and then went and asked one of the professors i passed by where i can find my target.

♪♪♪ Yeaaah! I'm gonna take my horse to the old town road ♪♪♪ ~

I sang a song while walking the hallway as some students looked at me strangely as i was singing rather a bit casually and not even tuning it down.

I then eventually stopped by the door of a classroom where Elliot Randolph is currently teaching some students.

I squinted my eyes as i looked through the glass part of the door and couldn't help but notice something different about this version of Elliot.

Instead of his looks from the show depicting himself as a scrawny, middle aged guy. The guy that I'm currently looking at was definitely different as he was tall, 6'5 maybe? And then he got a strong aura around him while also sporting a relatively big belly that jiggled a bit as he walked constantly inside the room while pointing the board.

The guy was a viking alright.

Anyway. His looks didn't matter that much as i already know that some things here in this universe is always a bit different than normal.

Anyways. I have decided to not outright invade his mind here and now as i want to test something from this guy.

I want to see how strong is an asgardian soldier of this universe.

—-—

I then went and explored the city for a bit to pass time as there's still some time before the guy would leave the campus.

And my way of exploring a place is of course by eating food. I asked some locals and found myself in a tapas bar around town and ordered their best seller which was called "Carrillada de cerdo", and ooohh, that shit was too good.

And of course, I wouldn't miss a food that is known here, and it's "Paella". So in the end, the waiter and the cashier was grinning from ear to ear after a gave a satisfying tip for a satisfying food

It's such a good feeling spending money that is given by others. Thanks Fisk.

..

But back to the present. I now stood beside a tree while waiting for Elliot to come out as i played with the new phone that Fisk gave to me.

The sun has already set as some students who still haven't gone out came out and proceeded to go home.

I waited for a bit and then saw Elliot coming out after a while while carrying a hand bag that contains his teaching things.

The guy then approached one of the cars and unlocked it and goes in.

I waved my hand as i conjured an invisible effect force-field around me and then followed the car that has already driven off the distance.

..

I followed the guy for a while flying as we eventually entered a road that is surrounded by forest to its either side.

I furrowed my brows as Elliot drive off to the side and entered the forest and stopped after reaching about 20 meters from the main road.

I landed on a thick branch quietly and observed the guy as he came out of his vehicle calmly and stood by the side of his car.

3rd Person P.O.V

Elliot Randolph came out of his car and stood by his car as he talked to the air. "I know you're there. Reveal yourself this instant!"

Andrew lift an eyebrow in surprise as he waved off his force-field – revealing himself. He then jumped from the branch he was standing on and onto the ground.

Leaf and dust flew everywhere as he did a superhero landing. His new body can already resist this kind of feat as he has already did the preliminary upgrades to this new body when he was still in the plane.

Andrew clapped his hand to remove the dirt as he looked at Elliot while asking with a curious voice "How?"

"Even if you hide yourself using your magic. You still can't hide from the Instinct of a natural-born asgardian." Elliot replied with a pride slightly oozing from his voice "But if i may ask. What do you want from me?"

Andrew tilt his head slightly and replied while trying to analyze the guy "I just want to find something using your help."

"What is it?" Elliot asked curiously.

"The Berserker Sta–!" Andrew wasn't able to finish his words as Elliot suddenly dashed at him with an impressive speed.

Andrew put up his two arms in an "X" to block the incoming punch but he was in for a surprise.

Crack! Kacha!

Andrew's forearms made a cracking sound as his eyes widened from pain and surprise and he was then thrown from his position and slammed to a nearby tree.

Kacha!

The tree with a relative size wasn't able to endure the force of the impact and also broke as Andrew slammed and rolled repeatedly like he just turned into a skipping stone.

Andrew eventually stopped as he lied on the ground while looking at the dark sky. He couldn't help but mutter "What the hell?"

But his thoughts were interrupted by a fist that appeared in his field of vision coming from above.

Andrew wasn't about to be thrashed just like that again as he immediately evaded the punch and flew to the air with his arms dangling like a vegetable.

Boom!

Elliot lifted his fist from the ground and looked at the hovering Andrew with a frown on his face 'Is he one of those so-called mutants?'

..

'That freakin' hurts. But what the fuck? That punch was carrying at least 20 tonnes of force. Do normal asgardians really this strong? Then how strong is thor then? " Andrew thought in slight shock as he looked at his healing arms.

The rate of the healing was tremendous as the cracked bones of his arms already connected again and began repairing the damaged muscles and nerves.

After a few moments. His arms was already perfectly fine as Andrew flexed it for a bit for a feel as he looked down at Elliot "What's with you?"

"How do you know about that thing? Huh?" Elliot asked while clenching his hands readying himself for another attack.

Andrew saw through his intentions immediately as he silently conjured his Psionic Aura around himself. "I want to find it as i want to know about its secrets."

Elliot slightly crouched from the ground while anger was visible on his face "Don't concern yourself about that thing."

He then jumped from the ground as flexed his fist to the as he rapidly approached the hovering Andrew.

Andrew wasn't about to be outdone just like that as also readied his fist and punches.

Bang!

The fists of the two met in the air as it collided and produced a small shockwave that made the leaf and dirt around flew everywhere.

Elliot furrowed his brows as he felt that his enemy's strength was only slightly lower than his own as he became more serious about the fight.

Andrew watched as the guy was slowly brought down to the ground by the gravity as he seems to not have flight. He narrowed his eyes as he zoomed from the air and down to the ground with his leg already reaching Elliot's head.

Elliot who have just landed was quick to react as he displayed the natural Instinct of a warrior even though his original work back in the Asgard was being a stonemason. He quickly brought his arms up to his head for a block as the force of Andrew's kick made his while body slam brutally to the ground.

Andrew followed the attack with another as he brought down his leg for an axe kick – aiming for his head again. The slightly disoriented Elliot wasn't able to react this time as the former's feet smashed on top of head, burying it in the ground.

Andrew wasn't finished as he can already know that Elliot has a Superhuman Durability that complimented his strength. So he jumped – using the former's head as a leverage – and landed by his feet and grasped both of his foot.

Boom! Boom! Crack!

Andrew then repeatedly slammed the guy on the natural ground by about 10 times and then flung him to a nearby thick tree.

The tree this time was big and was able to resist the force as Elliot slammed to it and was embedded on it.

Andrew wanted to follow up his attack but Elliot has already caught up as he immediately removed himself from the tree and rolled to the side.

Andrew removed his fist from the tree and then turned around only to be met with a fist to the face. Though. This time, he wasn't flung away as he got his personal force-field on and his head only whipped to side from the impact.

Elliot was confused as how Andrew can suddenly resist his punch but his train of thought was interrupted when Andrew's head slowly turned to face him again.

Andrew looked him dead in the eye and then stepped forward quickly as he head-butted the guy which made him took a step back unconsciously.

Andrew stretches his hand to the side as the earth from the ground started gathering on his hand and turned into a large hammer. He then made the earth that comprised the hammer to be more compact – all this only happened at about three seconds.

Andrew then swung as the hammer slammed at the face of Elliot who once again took a step back – disoriented.

Pa!

The former then followed it with another swing that connected with the latter's face that made him fly in the air from the force.

Boom!

Andrew flew quickly to catch up and stopped above the speeding Elliot and swung down his hammer the latter's chest.

Elliot wasn't able to do anything as he smashed to the ground – rising dust and leaves – while groaning in pain. Andrew wasn't done as if he just found a new toy and made the hammer spin around his hand as if it's not heavy at all as he flew down with the hammer raised above his head.

Elliot managed to remove the dizziness as his vision slowly cleared up but he was then met with a big earth-colored hammer that immediately smashed his face to the ground.

Boom!

Andrew's feet made contact to the ground as he quickly tightened his hold to the hammer and swung it down once again.

Boom!

Bang!

Bang!

Boom!

Andrew repeatedly smashed the hammer to the durable face of Elliot who wasn't able to do anything but just lie there — dizzy.

Andrew finished the attack with a side swing that made Elliot flew from the ground and onto a big tree that resisted the force once again.

Elliot then slumped to the ground while blood started flowing from his forehead to his chin as he tried catching his breath "Huff.. Huff.. Just kill me.. Huff.. You are not gonna know where that.. Huff.. accursed thing are. That thing isn't fit to be wielded by.. Huff.. anyone."

Andrew – who made the earth hammer disassemble – started walking towards Elliot as he also breathed slightly heavy while speaking "Come on, man. I didn't want to do this. You seem like a cool guy, with your viking style pot belly and all. But seems that we met at a very unfortunate way. Such a shame."

He then crouched in front of Elliot and held out his hand to the level of the huffing Elliot as he began weaving through his memories.

It was more easy using Telepathy as the viking was already exhausted and injured and this resulted with his mental fortitude also becoming weak for the time being.

Andrew furrowed his brows as he started reading the viking's memories from his early life and this in turn would take him several hours to finish because the guy has already lived for two thousand years.

Elliot didn't do anything, or rather, wasn't able to do anything, as he just sat there while leaning on the tree and slowly felt himself starting to get weaker and weaker because of the blood loss but wasn't worried as he knows that he'll not die from that kind of way.

Surprisingly. It only took about an hour to finish finding what he wants considering that he swept through everything and only found what he wants when he arrived at Elliot's memories of the 13th Century.

This confused Andrew as he knows that that was supposed to take him at least a few hours to finish. But he just credited it to the fact that maybe his Telepathy has made a jump in its efficiency and power.

Clap!

"Okay. Hmm let's see, Mnn, the one is on norway, the other is here in Spain and the final piece is in Ireland. Okay! Thanks."

Elliot's eyes consistently widened ay every word of Andrew as he cannot believe it. "Y-you read my mind?"

Andrew nodded and then held out his hand again infront of Elliot's face. He then invaded the poor guy's mind again and then erased what just happened tonight to him.

He thought about it for bit and then decided to not just kill the guy and even closed the large gash on his forehead using his quasi-biokinesis.

Andrew then hovered from the ground and flew to the sky while breaking the sound barrier in the process.

..

..

That night, Elliot Randolph came back in his home wondering how he got bloodied while sitting randomly in a forest.
