Keira’s Cosmic Adventures

A/N: I don't think this is going to have more chapter as I'm swamped with more stuff to work, so this is a snippet.
**********

I unfurled the notes that just popped out of my printer, despite myself not having printed anything at all… I read what was on the page, it bowled out to:

“Thank you for filling our outreach cosmic survey, thanks to your answers we determined what type of power and ability you’ll receive and where to send you to have you start your Great Adventure!

You received:

• Kryptonian Physiology (Earth One Kara Zor-El Template) (Boring Abilities)

• Kryptonian scout ship
• A vial of Essence of the Mover 

First universe to visit:

• Marvel composite world MCU/X-Men Evolution/Comics

You’ll be transported 1 week before the Chitauri Invasion when you finish this Message.

Demon Goddess Inc.”

While in my room, I laughed at the note’s contents, this must be a prank, right? I filled that survey on QQ for shits and giggles. There was no way this was real… But suddenly I felt myself being filled with strength and my body was shimmering with golden light around it.

FWOOOSH!!! A blue shimmering portal opened under my feet and I fell in it while screaming for my life. “Waaaaaaahhh!”

Inside the portal the colors shifted from blue to a myriad of others, going from red to white, pink and purple. I suddenly exited the portal and found myself being spat out from it directly into a dark alley. “Ouch.”

And then just as I was about to look up, my black Gucci handbag followed me as well and landed on my head and then slid on me to stop on my lap.

Plop! Another piece of paper landed before me and it read, “Thank you for using our portal service, have fun on your new adventures! Please don’t die!”

“WHAT THE FUCK!!? This can’t be real!” I’m not proud of this moment, I spent the next thirty minutes in the fetal position while crying my heart out. I’ve just been abducted from my house and my life there on my island. Then came the anger, I started to punch the concrete wall behind me and I broke them. This broke me out of my funk and started thinking about my situation.

I stared at my handbag, fetched it and opened it to see my headphones, smartphone, wallet, makeup and ID card; a triangular diamond like crystal and a vial of blue liquid with a note attached around the neck of the vial.

“Essence of the Mover.” Then I began reading the effects and abilities that the essence would be giving me and decided to drink it all right now, to not forget or get the vial stolen from me. I popped the cork and then put the vial to my mouth and drank the liquid inside in one gulp. It was like I was licking an electric outlet, there was a zing sound coming from me and now, I felt weird… as if I knew all my life how to create portals or teleport myself.

I opened my hand and conjured a blue portal, it opened and was 30 cm in diameter and I saw the other end, it was the Sahara desert. I enlarged the portal and passed through, it was day and the sun was high when I looked up. The portal closed behind me, then I felt myself being reinvigorated just by being under the sun, its yellow radiation filling my cells with their energy. The message hadn’t lied, I am a Kryptonian now…

Clenching my fist, I heard my knuckles pop, crouched and decided that it was time to try to fly. Suddenly I knew what to do, I didn’t have to think much about it and willed myself up. I jumped and boom I was flying and ascending into the sky. I stopped in mid-air and looked down, I could already see the entirety of the desert and the curve of the Earth. “How fast did I go?”

I flew toward orbit and decided to start drinking in unfiltered sunlight for a quick powerup. Slowly but surely I reached the stratosphere, and there was this sensation of movement from the planet as it turned on itself. I turned and moved a bit away further into space to see the planet in full. Earth is beautiful, all blue ocean and white clouds swirling all over it, some green and brown patches under the layers of clouds.

So this is what astronauts see from space? I felt awestruck by the view and now I could understand why the Overview Effect was a thing, I felt myself changed by just watching the planet where the human race was born onto. It was an overwhelming emotion that I couldn’t shake off. Even more so when I felt the sun’s rays onto my skin. My hair tie simply burned as the unfiltered sunlight struck me. Most of my clothes started burning as well; but strangely my handbag stayed intact, not even a burn.

Okay, maybe this ordeal wasn’t so bad, being naked wasn’t such a problem… I was taking in more sunlight this way.

~/~/~/~ K. C. A ~\~\~\~

24 hours later…

I felt topped up. I’m not gonna lie, napping in space is pretty awesome; when I opened my eyes I was on the moon and sunned myself on its surface. When I stood up, I looked for the direction where Earth was supposed to be, I found it on my right. I didn’t feel any hunger or thirst as I absorbed the sunlight, it was a peculiar feeling.

Jumping toward the Earth, I flew at great speed toward the blue and green marble. I was so fast that I was already in the reentry phase in Earth Atmosphere. While this happened, I was already planning what to do to fulfill my needs. First, clothes! With my microscopic vision I looked for a place with less security and I settled on England. Swiftly, I reached the troposphere and used my speed to not be seen by anyone looking up.

My eyes settled on a little village more isolated in the English countryside. I spotted clotheslines and clothes behind some of the houses which haphazardly dotted the hill they were built upon. It hurts to turn into a thief, but needs must. I sought out clothes which are my size, and when I finally did… This is where I discovered with a broken floor length mirror outside a garden shed that I looked really different from my previous looks. It was as if I'd been airbrushed, my face was more symmetrical and there were no more blemishes from my original life; some scars black spots had completely disappeared on my tanned skin.

I was still 165 cm, with a fit and athletic body and I looked younger; my hair were no longer curly, but like a straight curtain and my eyes were colored in a gem-like amber color. I looked quite otherworldly and oozing femininity. My boobs were now in the C cup range and I liked it. Before, I was in my thirties and looked curvy, a thicc girl. But I liked my build right now, it’s like being back to being a teenager. Then I realized, *Oh no, I look like I'm in my late teens, everyone is going to treat me like a kid.*

I stole a pair of jeans and a wooly white sweater on the clothesline and some money that I found in a jar full of bills. Taking also the time to open my smartphone, I configure the time and date as well. Sunday, April 29th 2012… and I am in the MCU/X-Men Evolution/Marvel Comics. I needed to do something, I couldn’t let people die; why? I live here now.

Maybe I can get Tony Stark to help me? No, the guy is watched by SHIELD like a hawk, and SHIELD is also HYDRA. No thanks! Fine, just… fine! I will do it myself, I’m gonna get so much money that it will tank the economy. Money is power! I left the small village behind me, using my legs this time, I didn’t go faster than a supercar. I discovered that my smartphone still worked, and that I can access the internet with it, though my contact list is completely empty, I still had my email address.

I used Google-Map to look for the nearest coal mine, Diamond and gold exchanges, and local jewelry stores. I marked all of them on my map and stopped in London where I bought a travel bag, cheap boots and different affordable outfits with the money I stole.

At super speed, I found myself at Kellingley colliery in North Yorkshire, where there was a deep coal mine. Using my X-ray vision, I found what I was looking for; a vein of coal and I filled three rucksacks full of them. I didn't stay long there and portaled in the middle of the Sahara again where I started turning the coal I obtained into diamonds.

Diamond formation occurs when carbon deposits deep within the earth are subject to high temperature and pressure. So to make myself rich, I took a piece of coal into my hands and pressed with vaguely 10% of my strength and… waited for thirty seconds as I felt the coal change molecular structure. I opened my hand and I smiled, satisfied with my work.

The diamond was really big…

But I didn't stop there and started turning all the coal into diamonds of different sizes. When I was done, it was night and I had billions of dollars in those rucksacks. I would be selling only a bagful and keep the rest. I returned to England and sold my diamonds and obtained a fake ID, my name is now Keira Starr, because I like it.

The guy who made my ID for me did his best, for one million, he gave me the best services. I have an ID, a birth certificate and a driver license and a passport which will pass muster. I think that guy was from MI5 or something. Ugh it pains me to be British now, but it didn't have to be this way! I was going to open an account in Switzerland and obtain citizenship there, at least they spoke French in that country.

In the UK I sold more and more diamonds, then I had to go to France to do the same as more people were starting to follow my travels. I could hear everything around me, so I spotted the spies or criminals which wanted to grab me. From France I went to Switzerland and opened an account in the UBS group Bank, the best banking institution in Switzerland.

I placed hundreds of millions there and then I went shopping and took advantage of my presence there to look for the news. I bought an up-to-date laptop and a secondary phone, a Stark Industries brand smartphone to be exact. In some ways it was more advanced than my Samsung A10+ but in other aspects, it was not quite up to par.

What a strange dichotomy, so many things were different too in the history of this world. World War 2 started earlier in 1936, Captain America is married to Peggy Carter and they have a big family together and his title is hereditary, the SSR turning into SHIELD one year after the war. The UK having a King instead of a Queen and Princess Diana still alive, John Lenon as well and everyone was aware of Mutants too. The UK, France and Japan treated them the best from what I could see.

Oh and Magneto was the leader of Genosha, it seems that he succeeded in becoming some kind of dictator here on this Earth. Well fuck, my meta-knowledge doesn't apply much here. Oooh! And there was the Fantastic 4 too, but no Reed Richards, Susan Storm is married to Viktor Von Doom.

I put my laptop down on the table, I was now in a Cafe, leeching off of the Wifi it provided. With this I looked for an astronomy website and looked for info about asteroids. NASA cataloged most of the precious asteroids in the belt between Mars and Jupiter and I wanted the richest one. Like 16 Psyche, a 140-mile-wide (226-kilometer-wide) asteroid could contain a core of iron, nickel, and gold worth $10,000 quadrillion.

Looking up, I tried to spot the asteroid in the sky; my gaze pierced the cloud and then the atmosphere, and space became clear to me as I looked around in the solar system. I finally spotted Jupiter and Mars and between their orbit was the asteroid belt. A plan formed into my mind. I have a Fortress of Solitude, it must be loaded with Kryptonian technology and cultural data… but I can't put it on Earth, it would be too easily found and knowing my luck, someone would try to steal its contents.

My gaze focused on Mars and I smiled as I decided to make it my new home away from the craziness of Earth when it gets to be too much. Closing my laptop, I placed it inside its bag, placed money on the table for the entire cake I devoured and left for the nearest mountain.

Landing at the top of Dufourspitze, Switzerland's highest peak, I looked for Olympus Mons. I looked for Olympus Mons and decided to open a portal to Mars. When I floated inside the portal I felt the difference in air pressure; the atmosphere on Mars was pretty bare. The sunlight was less filtered here than on Earth and I could see different types of colors than red. There were some blue and purple particles flying in the air as well.

Olympus Mons, is a large shield volcano on Mars. From the info on the NASA website, the volcano has a height of over 21.9 km. The volcano is located in Mars's western hemisphere, with the center at 18°39′N 226°12′E, just off the northwestern edge of the Tharsis bulge. The western portion of the volcano lies in the Amazonis quadrangle (MC-8) and the central and eastern portions in the adjoining Tharsis quadrangle (MC-9).

The atmosphere was dusty and I felt a bit cold here. Olympus was a really tall mountain, more impressive than Everest. Raising my handbag, I opened it and fished out the crystal which reminded me of that episode of Smallville, the "Crystal of Knowledge"

In the TV-show, the Crystal of Knowledge is a five-sided Kryptonian crystal that can be used to create the Fortress of Solitude. The crystal contains all the knowledge of the planet Krypton and all the knowledge of the universe gathered by Kryptonians. This is basically a house that comes with an Artificial Intelligence; a Kryptonian computer hard drive which contains a lot of data and other stuff.

When I took it in hand, a peculiar sound rang in the air, and it interfaced with me and… okay this wasn't a Fortress, this was more like a citadel, at least the crystal was showing me this. It looked like a great tower with installations around it. I recognized a hangar for a ship, labs and other stuff. I choose to go with the default look of the crystal with the tower in the middle of it.

I threw the crystal at the mountain and waited, not for long… the ground began to shake, forcing me to hover thirty centimeters from it. It was a good idea as the ground collapsed completely and then crystal pillars started jutting up from the ground. It reminded me of those scenes where the Fortress of Solitude was being built in the movies and series.

It took over ten minutes for the phenomenon to stop after the central tower of the Fortress appeared and it was beautiful! Here standing in the crater was my new home formed from hundreds of crystal towers. The architecture was utterly alien to Earth’s.

I floated toward the entrance of the Fortress and stopped before two pillars which I surmised were the gates. A blue light suddenly struck me, and passed over my body from head to toes.

Kryptonian Life-Form detected.

Please put your hand on this panel to take possession of this unit.

On the right pillar, a cavity opened and on it was a little screen, which resembled a palm reader; I walked up to it and slid my hand into the cavity and touched the screen. It was solid like diamonds, I felt something prick my hand and I heard a female voice boom in my mind. “Keira-Lor, you’ve traveled far. Welcome home.”

April 1st, 2012
Command Center

I was in the central tower, the command center inside the Fortress. I visited only two or three installations inside: my apartments, the lab and the command center so far. In the lab, I discovered the nanoforge and Kryptonian Quantum Supercomputer; the AI which looked just like me was in control of the entire citadel and was completely loyal to me. Her name was REN0 and she could give Cortana a run for her money.

REN0 fabbed me a Kryptonian skinsuit, you know… like in the movies. The skinsuit garment is a one piece suit made of natural Kryptonian materials bound like chainmail. It has art like pieces on the side that run up the back of the suit, down past the waist and  the top half of the legs, and forming a sort of belt across the midriff.

I made mine look like the zero suit of Samus Aran, but more black and dark blue. Nevertheless, I could change the color theme of my skinsuit to the red, yellow and blue of Supergirl; I have the 'Lor' symbol on my chest, as apparently that's the house my benefactor chose to make me belong to. I don’t want to wear the S, it’s too heavy a responsibility; I can do the bare minimum and save people occasionally, but I’m not hero material.

The suit was also able to turn me invisible, like in Star Trek, yeah stealth will allow me to not get captured or dissected. I know the lust for power those people in Marvel got. I must also be careful with my DNA, get rid of any sample if I ever bleed. I don't want to get cloned…

Thanks to the Fortress' short range sensors, I can monitor everything happening in the Sol system. But the Long Range ones are the real prize, I can monitor 300 Light Years beyond the confines of this star system and interstellar space and I am able to detect ships in hyperspace or Marvel's Jumpdrive.

REN0 took the data so freely laying around by NASA and now it was time for me to go to work and harvest material for the terraformation of Mars. We discovered pockets of Vibranium and Adamantium in the asteroid belt, and the AI was making me a shopping list. Thanks to the nanites implanted in my head, I was linked to the Fortress and it gave me a sort of augmented reality HUD, but it was more than that.

Currently, I was making a list of asteroids that I was going to drop on the surface with my own portal powers and I found some medium sized ones, taking into account the cooldown for each portal, it should be one and half a day of work.

At the push of a command on the holographic haptic interface, I opened a second holographic screen and started a new project. I needed a ship. Because I didn’t intend to stay on Earth much, only for the big events, and using up my personal power to move around the solar system was a waste of energy that was better applied to a good fight. I was going to go look for the power stone and the soul stone. The reality stone I would get next year if possible; this was to deny my enemies’ resources mainly and avoid the snap completely.

The Kryptonian technology available to me was a mix of the Man of Steel Movies, the comics, DCAU cartoons and the TV-shows. I realized that the Fortress of Solitude was an Amalgamation of everything known about Kryptonian technology, science, history and culture. There was a learning pod in the lab to teach me everything about my new race that I was hesitant to employ. Will it change who I am by turning me into an arrogant Kryptonian or would I stay myself? Those were decent fears.

Anyway, I was now designing a ship for myself, but I didn’t want a crystal ship; I wanted mine to look like the X-70B Phantom from Star Wars, but scaled up to be cruiser sized. It will be fast, well armed, with Kryptonian Gravitic Engines for Sub-light propulsion, for the FTL I wanted to go with something like the Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine from Halo, because Slipspace existed in this universe from what the sensors of the Fortress could pick up. There should also be the Jumpdrive function that everyone uses here as well.

The weaponry will be mainly particle cannons and phased plasma turrets, there were a lot of ray guns available; but just to be safe, I chose to load a rail-gun cannon and fore and aft missiles launchers. I went crazy on the design of the three decks.

I started with the crew quarters which would be able to house at least twenty people, attached to Deck 1 was the meeting room, the galley, the armory and the Medbay. On Deck 2 would be the R&D lab to study and design things and equipped with a small nanoforge. The engineering at the aft section of Deck 2 is the engineering room, housing the starship's drive core, the missile storage and fabricators.

The Cargo Bay will be housed on deck 3; a small shuttle was stored there for the away missions. To finish, I looked for my Smartphone and searched my art folder. I searched for the spaceship from Star Wars with the schematics and the technical specification on them and gave them to REN0.

I was finally done, and submitted the design to my AI and stood up from my seat. It was time to go look for the asteroids for the finalization of my base. I walked to the nearest airlock leading to the material collection warehouse.

Two more days and I will get to punch some aliens!

(General Overview)

May 4th,  2012
Stark Tower

When Tony arrived at Stark Tower he found Selvig activating a device on the roof. A glowing blue cube appeared to be at the heart of it, and gave Tony an uneasy feeling. Tony was furious that they were using his new home without his permission. This was a violation that he wasn't going to let continue.

"Sir, I took the arc reactor offline, but the device is already self-sustaining." JARVIS started to explain.

Tony hovered toward the roof where the device and Selvig were located. "Shut it down, Dr. Selvig."

The Doctor turned toward him, eyes glazing over. "It's too late! She can't stop now. She wants to show us something! A new universe."

Tony aimed his hands toward the device and fired his repulsors. BOOM!! CRACK!! The energy from his hand repulsors was stopped.

Selvig fell backward on his back, his head hitting his toolbox, making him fall unconscious. Down below the streets of New York, the citizens looked up at the top of the tower. Tony looked in disbelief at the device… which was unharmed.

"The barrier is pure energy. It's unbreachable." JARVIS commented on his analysis.

“Yeah I got that…” Tony said as he started thinking about a solution.

This didn’t matter anymore as two red beams of intense energy struck the barrier on the device; it almost broke said barrier but it somehow held the assault and the tower trembled. Slowly descending from the sky was a beautiful young woman wearing a blue skinsuit, that was so form fitting it appeared to be painted on, with a shield symbol emblazoned on her chest. Her long black straight hair billowed under the breeze as she hovered next to Tony. "Ah, Crap. I am too late."

"Who the hell are you?" Tony almost raised his hand to threaten the woman, however, her eyes were glowing with red light and he chose to not borrow trouble and get himself blasted apart.

Tony noticed that she didn’t even look at him; but when she did it was like she judged him. "Call me Keira-Lor, that's my name."

It was a peculiar name, JARVIS was already trying to find who this woman was thanks to his facial recognition algorithm. With no success, she wasn’t american and had a strange accent, it sounded French and something else.

"I really like the costume, it's really… blue." The Iron Man broke the ice.

She gave him her best smile full of dimples. “Why thank you, yours isn’t so bad either.”

"Let’s go look for that tacky scepter, it should be able to shut down the device." Then she looked at where Loki was standing and she gasped.

She asked out loud, “Wait, Loki is a woman? Since when?”

This was a strange question. Tony didn’t know how to answer that. “Huh, well of course she’s one of those cray-cray bints, who do you think we’ve been fighting for so long?”

She landed on the deck of the Stark building and waited for Tony to do the same. Tony lands and goes through the gauntlet and starts taking off his suit. Loki looks up at him, smiling. Then she  proceeded to walk into the penthouse.

“Do you want a drink?” Tony asked Keira-Lor.

“Heh, why not?” Then she followed Tony as he casually walked down the steps toward the bar. Loki did the same, scepter in hand, holding it tightly. Her robes billowed as she stared at the two of them with a smirk. She was kinda hot, but the clear madness that I could feel coming from her and the scepter was a major turn off.

“Please tell me you're going to appeal to my humanity-” Loki began to say as she grinned at the two.

The only answer she got was the new girl disappearing from view and… backhanded Loki with a slap on her cheek; the woman in the blue suit caught the scepter in her hand. Then Keira-Lor opened a blue portal and threw the scepter into it.

Loki screamed, “No!”

But she was punched in the face by the young woman, creating a shockwave and Loki's eyes rolled in her head and she lost consciousness. Keira-Lor then started to restrain Loki with heavy looking black manacles on her hands and feet. She opened another portal and dumped Loki in it. Tony asked with fascination in his tone, “Okay, what the fuck just happened? Where did you send her?”

Keira-Lor stood up and hovered over the floor as she replied, “In the brig of my spaceship. I’m not wasting time speaking with someone who is clearly mind controlled. I will produce her later. Come we have a device to stop.”

She had a wrist computer she started to type on; a haptic holographic interface manifested around her arm. Tony’s eyes widened when he understood that this young woman was an alien. Then something in the previous comment of the alien girl made him yell, “Wait, Loki is mind controlled?!”

Keira-Lor poked her temples two times with her right index finger. “Think Mister Stark, think. She was clearly unreceptive each time you spoke to her and she kept rehashing the same dialogues over and over… and I am telepathic, so…”

The billionaire stepped back from the cute looking alien girl. Asking himself if she was a telepath like that bald guy he met the last time. But he focused more on what he just learned, nothing was either simple… “Fuck. I need to speak to Thor, she’s not gonna like it.”

“She? Isn’t Thor supposed to be a guy?” Keira-Lor asked in confusion. She had a cute frown on her face which triggered Tony.

The billionaire pointed his finger at her. “Okay what the hell is it with you, Loki and Thor are female, even I don’t believe the tales in history books about them being male, do you need some sensitivity training? I’ll pay.”

Keira-Lor rolled her eyes at that; spare her from the woke bullshit. “From where I come from, Thor and Loki are male.”

Tony whistled, the pieces finally forming the picture, was this girl some sort of dimensional traveler? “You’re not from here ain’t cha?”

She shrugged. “Let’s speak about this later, we must stop the-”

The Tesseract's energy beams into the sky. The beam then forms a vortex, which then opens up a portal. A hole in space rips open, and from it, the Chitauri army spills out in flying chariots, carrying energy rifles with bayonets on the end. “Shit, again too late.”

Keira-Lor raised her and spoke into the device appearing on her wrist. “REN0, deploy the ECATONCHIRES in the portal ASAP!”

“The what?” Tony panicked when saw the 150 meters crystalline spaceship uncloak from the windows of his penthouse.

Three humanoid black robots were launched from the ramp of the crystalline black ship floating next to Stark Tower, they had long arms and red eyes and looked rather… feminine. As they jumped from the ship, their feet had rocket thrusters allowing them to fly into the sky. From two meters, they kept getting bigger and bigger until they were at least 50 meters in height.

“Oh crap.” Swore Tony as he saw something out of a movie. Giant Mechas?!

The tall, black and girthy robots are equipped with a rotating disc atop their right arms, when the top starts to spin repeatedly some red energy connected by two extendable mechanical needles, fired small bolts of plasma at the many targets disgorging from the blue portal in the sky and destroying them. Meanwhile the Chitauri unleashed a wave of terror on the New Yorkers. BOOM!! Blast after blast started blowing up cars, storefronts and killing a lot of people.

Then the three big robots disappeared in the portal and Tony could occasionally see flashes of red energy inside it. He listened with attention to the short woman who controls those giant units. “Okay only the troops are spilling out, the big ones trying to pass are going to get busy by the big girls. Come, we must go help get rid of the smaller invaders.”

Keira-Lor caught Tony’s arm, but before she could pull him further he said, "I need to get my new suit."

The alien woman nodded and crossed her arms. "Okay then, but please be quick; lives depend on us."

"JARVIS deploy the Mark VII! Bring it!” Tony spoke out loud.

“It’s coming, sir.” JARVIS said in his posh accent that made the alien girl laugh.

And come it did, straight out of the elevator’s shaft near the bar. When the elevator’s door opened , a red pod shot out from it. The pod used laser signals to zero in on the bracelets Tony had picked up from the bar earlier. Next, the pod began to transform into the Iron Man suit Mark VII and latched onto Tony.

“Rao, you look dashing.”

The girl looked at Tony with an appreciative glance and he started preening. “Thanks, Miss Keira. Now let’s go!”

The, now fully suited Iron Man, threw himself from the window, breaking it and his rocket boosters in his feet fired, allowing him flight. Keira-Lor followed him, putting her body horizontal and right fist first; at the same time she gave instruction to her Artificial Intelligence. “REN0, start firing solutions on the Chitauri soldiers exiting the portal! Use the Mantle of Rao’s point defense turrets and raise the shields to avoid damage!”

“Targets acquired.”

“Fire!”

On the spaceship’s surface twenty turrets appeared from slots in the hull and began firing a torrent of green beams and red pulsing lasers at the alien army who finally took notice of what was happening to them. They swiftly flew toward the Kryptonian ship, firing blue bolts of energy at it; their energy weapons were rendered ineffective against the golden energy barrier around it.

The Mantle of Rao’s turrets turned menacingly toward the Chitauri soldiers flying around it and… with sizzling sounds shot all thirty of them and disintegrated them on the spot. Tony started to focus more on rescuing the civilians being attacked by the Chitauri who managed to survive the onslaught of the ECATONCHIRES and the Mantle’s plasma volley.

Keira-Lor decided to do the same, but by being smarter. “REN0, deploy the scouting drones and start recording and broadcasting everything happening here everywhere on Earth. Deploy Dryads and Halo-Bots for rescue of the civilians!”

Compliance. Pods were shot out from the crystalling ship and a hundred robots of all shapes exited them when the pods landed on the main avenue.

~/~/~/~ K. C. A ~\~\~\~

(Thor and Aldrif Odinsdottir)

Thor and Aldrif descended from the sky, using her hammer to throw lightning at the chitauri soldiers surrounding her allies, blasting them back in a shockwave killing them all in the process. Black Widow and the Captain watched the soldiers convulse and drop dead to the ground, at the same time Thor and her elder sister, Aldriff touched down.

The captain in his blue costume approached them and asked, “What’s the story upstairs?”

The blond Asgardian Goddess of Thunder and the Storm didn’t look happy at all, “The powers surrounding the cube are impenetrable from what the man of iron told me.”

“Thor is right. We gotta deal with these guys first. Fortunately, I got help.” Tony said over their communicators.

Then another unfamiliar voice surprised the group. “Hello everyone, my name is Keira-Lor. Your Friendly Neighbor Kryptonian.”

“How did you get on that channel?” Demanded the billionaire.

Thor heard a laugh. “This isn’t important, Mister Stark.”

“Who is she?” The black widow asked with wariness.

“An alien who has come to help us it seems, she took out Loki as if she was nothing.” There was a trace of awe in Tony’s voice as he relayed what that stranger did.

They heard even more explosions around them, saw Tony flying over with a blue suited woman with black hair following him and firing red beams from her eyes taking out chitauris. Thor was impressed as she also started killing them by ramming into them and cutting them in two.

As for Aldrif, she finds this new warrior mysterious and effective. She couldn't help but ask in the communicator provided by the Captain, “Where is my sister? How is she?”

Aldriff was worried about Loki, this entire affair didn't make any sense. Loki already had a planet full of worshipers and didn't need to conquer another one. All those things about being a queen she spouted wasn't her talking. Loki didn't care about thrones, she saw what it did to Odin and there was no way that she would want the responsibility.

Odin’s first born daughter thought that something was terribly wrong. Keira-Lor, the Kryptonian (?) gave Aldrif peace of mind by telling her, “Safe, in one of the brig of my spaceship.”

Hawkeye commented, “The big and black shiny one that's kicking asses?”

The ship was hovering and shooting at any Chitauri that dared to fly on their chariots over New York's airspace, firing green beams of energy that disintegrated the alien soldiers. It was as big as the Helicarrier.

Keira-Lor said smugly, “Yeah, that’s the Mantle of Rao. My ship.”

Thor saw the woman blow frigid air at a bunch of chitauri soldiers and they fell to the ground frozen and shattering into millions of pieces.

All around them, white robots started saving the civilians deploying force fields to deflect the chitauri energy beams, helped move the wounded people or turned a Cafe into a shelter where the healer-bots started working on the critical cases.

The man of iron brought everyone back on the subject of what to do now that they knew that the invasion was being handled by Keira-Lor. “Okay let’s finish with those ugly storm troopers.”

The red haired assassin, the Black widow, changed the ammo cartridge for her pistols.“How do we do this?”

“As a team.” The Captain said confidently, tightening his shield on his arm.

“We need to stop our sister’s plan, and see what’s wrong with her!” Insisted Aldrif, the tall planturous and red haired Asgardian. She unsheathed her two Falchions from her back Thor found herself putting a hand on her shoulder to calm her down.

“Yeah, get in line.” Hawkeye had a bone to pick with Loki who had been mind controlling him for days on end.

The Captain put Hawkeye on the spot. “Leave it, we already got her, now we need to focus on saving people from being killed by those space wankers!”

Keira-Lor interrupted the brief spat. “I’ve already started deploying rescue and healing bots on the ground.”

The Captain looked at the robots taking care of the civilians around them. “The white ones with the red cross on their shoulders and forehead?”

“Yeah those.”

"Good job!" The Captain shouted in his good guy voice.

“Then I got the ECATONCHIRES in the portals, the only reason why we don’t see the big whale-like chitauri is because they’re laying the hurt on them in their spaces. My AI needs some time to find a weakness in the barrier sheltering the Tesseract and allow me to shut off the portal, meanwhile you and I need to take care of the small contingent of chitauri soldiers.”

Thor nodded, this new ally was really proactive and helpful; she couldn’t wait to meet her face to face. The Captain then started directing them all. “You heard the lady, let’s do this.We got Stark and Miss Lor up top, he's gonna need us...”

Just then, a gigantic Chitauri Leviathan broke through the portal in the sky, it almost totally left the portal until a giant black robot arm appeared and turned into a massive cannon similar to a tank gun that fired a wide blast of red energy which disintegrated the whale-like chitauri leviathan. The arm turned back in a hand and returned to the portal.

“Like I said, my robots are dealing with the Chitauri in their own space.” Keira-Lor laughed as she appeared before the team, hands on her hips and an easy smile on her face. She struck a dashing and powerful figure.

Hawkeye said in a little voice, “I’m feeling quite inadequate here…”

(General Overview)

The world was shocked about the events happening in New York. Thanks to Keira-Lor’s drones she showed the world the Chitauri invasion, even the fight in Chitauri space through the eyes of her ECATONCHIRES. The world was shown the thousands of Leviathan swimming in space and being destroyed by big red plasma balls firing from the mechanism's chest, vaporizing the biomechanical creatures.

The soldiers were being killed, vaporized and routed. People in New York and all over the world cheered. This event inspired certain enhanced people and Mutants to take action. The X-Men and some others battled against the aliens.

This was good PR that Emma Frost used to show off her own enhanced team, the Hellions. They protected Manhattan and the HALO-BOTS while they did their job of protecting the civilians. Jean Grey, Shadowcat, Logan, Wanda and Pietro Maximoff were a big help that contained the threat of the Chitauri inside the island, taking down the stragglers and moving survivors to safe areas, most notably in the metro.

In the meantime, Nick Fury wasn't having a good time in the Helicarrier. He was having a conference with the World Security Council. They were witnessing the Avengers and an unknown with unparalleled firepower take down the Chitauri army, the soldiers were still exiting the portal in small numbers.

One of the councilmen with a shadowed face announced, “Director Fury, the council has made a decision.”

With a harsh look, Fury replied, “I recognize the council has made a decision, but given that it’s a stupid ass one, I’ve elected to ignore it.”

A second councilman, a woman this time argued, “Director, you’re closer than any of our subs, you scramble that Jet…”

He had had enough of these rich people taking dumb as fuck decision and living with their head in the clouds. “That is the island of Manhattan, Councilmen. Until I’m certain my team can’t hold it, and they are holding it, I will not order a nuclear strike against a civilian population.”

A man’s head became unshadowed as he leaned forward, it was Gideon Malick and he slammed his hand on his desk. “If we don’t hold them in the air, we lose everything!”

Nick said between his teeth, “If I send that bird out-”

Then with a smug voice the woman who spoke earlier said with satisfaction, “We already have.”

***

The woman didn’t expect that everyone in a higher position than her has witnessed her saying that thanks to Keira-Lor hacking the communication of the WSC. In Washington, the president saw what was happening on his screen, those dumbasses in the WSC were sending a nuke at a civilian population! The president stood up and ordered, “I want their arrest now, and throw the book at them!”

The advisors facing him saluted, “Yes sir!”

***

“Motherfuckers.” Fury cut the conference call. Fortunately, the meeting room wasn’t too far from the command center.

Once he arrived on the Helicarrier’s bridge, Maria Hill, his second in command yelled, “Sir, we have a bird in motion! Anyone on the deck, we have a rogue bird! We need to shut it down! Repeat! Take off is not authorized!”

Nick Fury ran out to the deck, holding a fucking RPG7. He took aim and fired, hitting the tail end of the jet. The Jet skidded off towards the edge, with the pilot unharmed but unconscious. Fury relaxed for a moment but suddenly, another jet flew off. Fury stood there, shocked, knowing he can’t do anything about it, but someone else can, he pushed the button on his communicator. “Stark! Are you hearing me? We have a missile headed straight to the city!”

“How long?!” Was the question of the billionaire.

Fury was however caught flat footed when another voice said on the channel, “I’m on it!”

“Keira, little blue! Wait!” Tony Stark called out hurriedly.

~/~/~/~ K. C. A ~\~\~\~

Back with Keira…

I flew parallel to the missiles that the pilot just launched, I made sure that everyone could see his name, rank and face on the Kryptonian drone footage for later. REN0 hacked the codes of the missile and took charge of the telemetry. I showed that it was me who took control of it without even touching it.

And up we go through the portal toward the dumb looking ship. The ECATONCHIRES fired their chest cannon at the Sanctuary, Thanos' ship, the shields were overwhelmed and depleted. The ECATONCHIRES continued to cover the nuclear missile's approach and the Chitauri command center was nuked but still intact.

"Damn it, not like in the movies. Fine, I'll do it myself." I propelled myself at FTL speed and rammed into the ship while my bots fired their plasma cannons or eye beams at it. It was like swimming in jello, I destroyed the ship's Main Power Core and the engines.

The ECATONCHIRES then started vaporizing the hull and the modules inside. And in a splendid explosion, the ship was no more. This hull was quite strong for something from Marvel, so I took a scan of it to reproduce it, just in case. REN0 cracked the code of the tesseract device while me and the bots returned after having decimated the Chitauri army.

Tony, with his red and gold armor hovering in the sky, waited for me at the mouth of the portal and told me, "You've got some explaining to do, kid. You are rather tough…"

I rolled my eyes, I may look like a kid but I wasn't one! Why did Lilith set my body back to 18? I used my telescopic vision and looked at the CMC device and REN0 struck the barrier with an effector beam, disturbing its frequency. I opened a small portal with my Mover Essence power and fished the tesseract from the machine.

The tesseract portal shut off immediately, then I sent the cosmic cube into containment on my ship. The ECATONCHIRES shrunk back from fifty meters to their two meters shape and went back to clean up the city of Chitauri soldiers bodies and recover all the technology they left laying around.

It was three hours later when the National Guard came in and helped with controlling the situation, finally. They started by securing the survivors in the camps deployed by the HALO-BOTS. The firemen and the local law enforcement pitched in, and I had to help. There was so much to do, I helped rescue people stuck in collapsed metro tunnels or under fallen buildings or simply taking them to the hospital, though because of the state of the Healthcare system in the USA some people preferred my bots taking care and treating them because it is free.

Some people discovered that I had a cure for AIDS and Cancer and I didn't limit the HALO-BOTS in what they could cure or heal so the New Yorkers took advantage of that fact. That's how I met the Hellions and we hit it off right away. My bots healed Cyclops from his little not seeing in color problem.

This started like this, I was helping Aldrif, Thor and the Captain when the mutant teams arrived. Emma Frost and Jean Grey appeared in one of the hospital tents and asked about who was in charge.

"That would be me." I landed next to her.

She wore a white leotard and fur cape which left nothing to the imagination. "You're a difficult woman to get a hold of."

The redhead with the red and black outfit next to her sighed and said, "Emma, be less confrontational please."

REN0 showed me that this was Emma Frost and Jean Grey before me. But I still played dumb, I have anti-psionic technology in my suit. "You two are?"

With a gloved arm, the blonde wrapped her arm around Jean’s waist in a possessive way. "Emma Frost Headmistress of the Massachusetts Academy and this is my Colleague, Jean Grey who has her own school in Salem."

The redhead blushed prettily, making me laugh. "Are you part of those enhanced humans who helped protect the people? I have many video recordings of you using your power to help your fellow humans."

Emma nodded. "Yes and we thank you for that, thanks to this opportunity you gave us, you advanced the mutant's cause by showing us in a positive light."

I crossed my arms and still smiled. Emma was the type to always have an agenda and I wanted to know what she wanted. "Well you're welcome. You're not the first metahumans I've helped, some like you exist on other planets."

This seemed to surprise them. "What?"

I chuckled and showed them the files I hacked from the galaxy wide network managed by the transgalactic council I discovered recently. "Oh you thought yourselves unique on this planet? There are metahuman or what you call yourself, mutant, on every planet touched by the celestial, all beings with special abilities."

After this mindfuck, I saw Emma let go of Jean and advance toward me and staring into my eyes. I felt probes on my telepathic shield that I rebuffed. I threw the blonde a wicked smile and an image of me and her in a S&M dungeon if she continued to try to get into my mind.

She responded with her own smile. "We would like to negotiate with you and your people… for help and succor-"

I frowned, there must be something bad happening if Emma asked for help. "I will-"

But I was interrupted by Aldrif who took my arm and turned me toward her. "Before that, Keira-Lor, you must give us Loki and follow us to Asgard."

Thor backed up her elder sister and pleaded. "Please, help us clear our sister’s name!"
