40 Chapter 39 - Eating with the Avengers

[May of 2012]

[°New York°]

3rd Person P.O.V

I should've just gone on my own..' Andrew thought as even though he have already eaten earlier. His mind was screaming at him to find about this new kind of food and taste it. But he still liked to see Loki and the incoming S.H.I.E.L.D or should he say HYDRA led by Alexander Pierce who will take the Scepter from the Avengers.

He followed the group as they went to the top of the Stark Tower and he immediately spotted the God of Mischief himself, lying on the ground with the Mjolnir on his chest.

Loki didn't seem to be as miserable as he was from the movie as his only physical damage was his hair was ruffled a bit with his magical clothes a bit messy.

But all in all. He doesn't even have some visible wounds which confirmed to Andrew that this version of Loki was stronger than his super-nerfed movie version.

Footsteps

Numerous footsteps was heard as soldiers wearing a black ops style battle gears poured into the large room and surrounded the parameter.

The leader of the soldiers saluted to Steve Rogers and then handed him some high tech restraining weapons.

Captain American nodded to the soldiers and then cuffed Loki which was pretty useless considering his strength but Thor has his eyes trained to the latter which made escaping not so easy.

The eight of them along with the soldiers made their way to the elevator but Hulk wasn't allowed to ride in as the elevator was already full capacity and he was also too heavy.

Seeing this. Andrew also didn't ride in as he accompanied the grumbling Hulk as they climbed down the long stairs.

Bang! Bang!

Every footsteps of Hulk shook the stairs while Andrew just looked at the green muscle with an amused face while hovering beside him as they made their way down.

Swoosh! Thump!

Hulk suddenly punched to the side – to Andrew. But the latter already saw the casual attack as he lifts his hand and blocked the attack with his palm.

"*snorts* Not punchable, Hulk don't like you." Hulk grumbled as the two of them continued their long journey.

...

And as they got out of the stairs section. Andrew saw the Avengers talking with Alexander Pierce as the latter got the Scepter from Rogers' hand and also tried getting the case containing the Tesseract but Thor immediately stopped them.

Andrew started walking to approach them while he motioned his hand to the still grumbling Hulk who keeps muttering "Hulk hates stairs" but didn't tried to punch anything and surprisingly just followed behind the former.

"Can we get to this Shawarma place already?" Andrew said as he arrived beside the group and crossed his arms to his chest.

Tony Stark turned to him and replied "We will get there in time if not for this guy being so adamant in getting something that doesn't even belong to him."

Alexander Pierce narrowed his eyes at the ever-disrespectful Tony Stark and then responded "The Tesseract is something that is already something that is owned by the state since post world war 2. So just give it u–"

Though he wasn't able to finish his sentence as Thor interrupted him with a frown on his face "The Tesseract is something that is not to be meddled by mortal hands. It rightfully belonged to the Realm Eternal and no Midgardian such as yourself will get it from my mighty hands."

The atmosphere descended into silence as Alexander Pierce narrowed his eyes and his lackeys tightened their hold to their guns which would not help them if things got out of hand.

Loki Laufeyson had an amused smirk on his face as his eyes alternated between the mortal man and his brother.

Steve Rogers is confused and a bit at loss at what should he do as these kinds of things is out of his hand.

Clint was just silent while stealthily backing away as he prepared himself for anything.

Natasha was also silent as she waited for any instructions that Fury might gave her.

Tony Stark was also silent which was out of his character of being a quippy person as he also alternated his gaze to the God of Thunder and Pierce.

Pierce seems admit defeat as he sighed and then waved his hand in a free manner "Fine fine. Then just gave us this so called God of Mischi–"

He was once again interrupted by Thor "My brother will face an Asgardian punishment. And you can't also contain him forever."

Pierce took a deep breath to calm his bubbling anger as he turned around and began walking away followed by his agents as they boarded their cars.

Whistle~

Tony Stark whistled as he saw the cars disappearing from his vision as he turned to the Group around him. "So... Let's go?"

"Let's go!" Thor responded and laughed while the others just smiled as they followed him.

"Finally..." Andrew muttered as he followed the group.

Hulk who was walking with the group suddenly started to deflate as the 9 foot green creature turned into a six foot tall man who looked around in confusion and then realization replaced it.

Andrew raised an eyebrow at the scene "That pants is definitely something else.."

—-—

As they ate within the Shawarma house. The amount of reporters watching them from the outside began getting bigger as they took pictures upon pictures of the eating Avengers.

...

When they finally finished their meal with Thor and Andrew almost competing with ordering and even emptying the whole place of their stock. Philip Coulson came inside and stood in front of them "The director wants to talk with you all" His eyes then traveled and landed to the casually sitting Andrew "You included."

"Me? Nah, he would definitely not like to talk with me. Anyway." Andrew responded and then stood up as he stretched his body and began making his way out of the establishment "That was a good meal. Thanks Stark."

Tony nodded as he looked at the back of the man who started walking away from them.

"Goodbye, my new friend!" Thor waved to me with a smile and then focused to Loki again while drinking from his cup.

Loki on the other hand was just sitting in a chair near the group while his hands and feet are cuffed while Thor was constantly looking at him while eating.

"W-wait." Coulson quickly caught up as and tried to make Andrew agree but the latter has already made his way out of the establishment as the flashes of the camera of the reporters greeted him.

""Who are you??""

""What is that on your face?""

""What's your name?""

""Why don't you reveal your face?""

""Are you a mutant?""

The reporters immediately flooded him with numerous questions while Andrew just looked at them silently which made them fell into silence, as the featureless and fragmented glass-like face of his made them uncomfortable and creeped them out a bit.

Andrew then turned to the section of the reporters where he heard the last question. He looked at them for a bit and then spoke "I am a mutant."

He didn't gave the reporters any time to bombard him with questions again as he flew with a bang, cracking the ground and rising dust and rocks.

Cough!

The reporters all coughed as they waved away the dust while some muttered "He's a mutant?"

The words of Andrew slowly sank within their minds as their eyes widened as they all looked at each other "This is a big scoop. A mutant just helped saving New York from an alien invasion.."

""Quick Quick! We need to right this down!""

..

As Andrew flew, he suddenly stopped as he took a look below and saw people being rescued from under the rubble by the authorities while some had already died and just lied there on the streets miserably.

Everywhere he looked, he can see a one or two dead bodies littering the streets of New York.

'I wonder how it feels to save people..' Andrew rubbed his chin in curiosity and then acted out his thoughts.

He spread both of his hands to the front while his [Psionic Domain] swept the place as he focused on the humans being trapped under some buildings and etcetera.

With a slight grunt. Andrew lifted the huge concretes that was trapping the civilians as the authorities that was trying to help them backed away in surprise.

""Woah."" All of them exclaimed as they saw huge concretes being lifted in the air by what seemed like a ghost as they can't see anyone.

"Look! He's up there!" One of the rescuers spotted Andrew who has his hands spread out as the big chunks of concrete moved to the air and settled to one side where there's no people.

All the civilians strained their necks to look up at him as they voiced out their gratitudes.

Some people who was relative of the ones being rescued even had tears glistening in their eyes as they looked up at him.

""Thank you!""

""Thank yo–""

Andrew – who finished lifting all the parts of buildings that was trapping all the people under – raised an eyebrow at their gestures and gratitude as he looked down at them while they looked up at him as if he some sort of God.

Andrew observes himself and just chuckled as he can't feel anything even after receiving their gratitude, he just felt nothing after receiving their gratitudes.

He then looked to where the shawarma house was located and saw the reporters diligently taking shots of him while the Avengers was already outside the establishment and was also looking at him.

Rogers nodded at him with a serious but appreciative look while Thor who had his other palm on Loki's shoulder waved his hammer at his direction with a smile while his voice boomed "My friend! HaHa-"

But his laughter died down immediately as Andrew didn't gave any reply whatsoever as he flew away while breaking the sound barrier easily.

Loki chuckled at Thor who put down his hammer in slight awkwardness as he didn't receive any answer which earned him a smack to the head.

"Ow!" Loki sighed in pain.

Rogers ignored their antics as he walked onward along with Coulson towards the cars that the latter have prepared for them to meet his director.

Fury's P.O.V

Nick Fury who was observing Andrew from the satellite view immediately barked orders to his agents to follow where he will go, but to his fury(pun intended), Andrew suddenly disappeared from the satellite after he stopped and waved his hand to conjure his invisibility force-field.

"Arrggh! Who the hell was that guy!" Fury growled while his agents gulped in nervousness seeing him so angry.

Fury wasn't able to connect the dots that the featureless man was actually Andrew as Charles Xavier told him that in their mission in London, Andrew actually died along with his subordinates and he even got proof as he personally saw the body of the latter.

When he found out that the kid was dead, he immediately requested to Xavier to have the psionic's body for research but Xavier was adamant and didn't allow him to take Andrew's corpse.

In the end. After much convincing and shoving the past numerous help that he did for the ball psychic. The two settled to Fury just getting a bit of tissue samples and that's it.

Back to the main topic. Fury furrowed his brows at the figure of the man on the paused screen. He thought of ways to contact the man but the tracking devices he instructed Romanoff to put on him was all already crushed to pieces.

In the end. He just sighed and thought about making contact with the man when he surfaced again. But for now. He got Asgardians and World Security Council to settle as the latter will definitely not give up the Tesseract that easily.

Arriving at that thought, he couldn't help but but rub his smooth bald head and mutter "Motherfucker..."
