----- November 14th, 2013 - Svartalfheim -----

After Loki's death, Thor, Jane, and Y/N enter a cave as they see a storm approaching. Y/N follows a few feet behind them in silence.

"He's gonna unleash it, not just on Asgard or on a star, Malekith is gonna destroy everything," Jane says.

Thor looks at her and asks, "How? Jane, how?"

"I saw him on Earth. Why would he go to Earth?"

"The Convergence.."

"Oh, God. None of this would have happened if I hadn't found the Aether..."

And Y/N agrees with that. He currently blames Jane for what happened, for Loki dying.

"Then Malekith would have only possessed it that much sooner," Thor tells her.

"I only found it because I was looking for you."

"Jane," He places his hand on her face.

"Now we're trapped here."

Suddenly they hear music playing, Jane and Thor look at each other in confusion. Then they look over at Y/N who was staring out into the storm.

"It's not me," Thor says.

Jane realizes it's her cell phone, she takes it out of her pocket and answers it, "Hello?"

The other side can be heard, "Hi, Jane, it's Richard."

"Richard?! Where are you?"

"I'm still in the office. It's...It's been a crazy day here today."

Jane puts him on speaker and holds up her phone, "Oh, my God! This is amazing."

"Is it? I quite enjoyed our lunch despite never actually ordering anything."

"How am I getting service here?"

"Is this a bad time? Do you want me to try you later?"

"No, no, no, no! Please, whatever you do, do not hang up the phone," Jane tells him as Thor looks at her from behind, wondering who this 'Richard' is.

"Okay then. I was just wondering if you want to try again? Uh...maybe dinner next time."

"Uh...yeah, yeah, yeah. Um...just stay on the phone, okay?"

"Yeah, I will."

Jane looks down and notices a can and keys that were thrown through from the abandoned factory, "Oh, my God."

Jane picks up the keys from the floor of the cave and Richard asks, "Am I interrupting something."

"No, no, no, nothing at all," realizing how they can return to Earth, Jane turns to Thor, "Come on."

"I'm losing you there, are you in a tunnel?" 

Thor starts following Jane with Y/N following him, "Where are we going?"

"Hello?," Richard calls out.

They start walking further into the cave, Thor notices the discarded shoes that were thrown through from the abandoned factory, "Why are there so many shoes in here?"

As they walk further in suddenly they disappear. Y/N stands there for a moment staring at the place they disappeared. He looks back into the storm one last time before walking through after them.

----- November 14th, 2013 - Asgard -----

An Einherjar Guard quickly approaches Odin as he stands next to his throne, "Forgive me, my liege. I've returned from the Dark World with news..."

"Thor?," Odin inquires.

"There's no sign of Thor, or the weapon, but...," he takes a step closer to Odin.

"What?"

"We found a body."

There's a moment's pause before Odin says, "Loki...."

The Guard doesn't reply but just looks at Odin as a small smirk grows on the Guards face.

----- November 14th, 2013 - London, England -----

Jane, Thor, and Y/N enter the apartment where Darcy and Selvig were. Jane barged in quickly as Y/N and Thor were slower behind her. Thor hangs Mjolnir on the coat hanger next to the door. Y/N stands silently next to him, purposely not looking in the direction of anyone.

"Jane!," Darcy shouts as she stands, noticing them enter.

"Hey," Jane says calmly.

"You can't just leave like that, the whole world is going crazy! All the stuff we saw is spreading," Darcy looks at Jane's Asgardian clothes and disheveled state, "Did you go to a party?"

Jane notices Erik for the first time, "Erik?!"

"Jane, how wonderful!," Erik rises, goes to Jane and as he hugs her it turns out he isn't wearing any pants, "You've been to Asgard."

"Where are your pants?"

"He says it helps him think," Darcy explains.

"Okay.. Well, I'm gonna need everything you got on this. All the work you've been doing on gravimetric anomalies, everything."

"Okay."

"Are you well, Erik?," Thor asks him.

Erik chuckles, "Thor! Superman!.... The other brother isn't coming is he?"

At the mention of Loki, Y/N's eyes quickly dart to him as he takes a deep breath and makes his way toward the couch. He sits with a leg crossed and his head leaning against his hand.

Thor looks at his brother before saying softly, "Loki is dead."

"Oh, thank God," Thor looks at him in confusion and Y/N's frown deepens, "I... meant, I'm so sorry."

"Thank you.."

Erik then hugs Thor.

Jane then tells everyone, "We need a plan if we're going to stop Malekith."

"Why Bother? He already has the Aether..," Y/N spits out.

"I'm sure that even with whatever the Aether is, this person can still be stopped," Erik says.

"Two easy simple quick options. One, we stand back and let Malekith destroy the universe and everyone in it and hope we somehow survive. Or two, we try to save as many people as we can but in the end he'd still destroy everything.. And then I find a new name cuz I won't be Superman anymore," Y/N tells them as he continues to avoid looking at them.

Jane tries to argue, "There must be a better option."

Y/N attempts to just pull himself out the conversation, "Nobody talk to me.. Nobody HUMAN HAS ANYTHING TO SAY TO ME TODAY!!," But it ends in him shouting, banging his hand against the couch and glaring daggers at Jane for moment.

He goes back to sitting in silence. Thor thinks about going over to him but decides it's best not to. Jane, Erik, and Darcy just stare at him shocked by his outburst. 

The four of them move over to a table and talk quietly as to not disturb Y/N.

"Malekith is going to fire the Aether at a spot where all the nine worlds are connected," Jane tells them.

Erik adds, "Amplifying the weapon's impact. With each additional world, the power will increase exponentially. The effect would be universal."

"Yes, well the alignment is only temporary. He must be in exactly the right place at the right time," Thor says.

Darcy asks, "Well, how do we know where that is?"

"We follow the directions. This has happened before, thousands of years ago, and The Ancients were there to see it, "Erik places a map of the British Isles on the coffee table, "All the great constructions: the Mayas, the Chinese, the Egyptians, they made use of the gravitational effects of the Convergence. And they left us a map," He starts drawing on the map, "Stonehenge. Snowdon, the Great Orme. These are all coordinates taking us...here."

He points to Greenwich on the map.

"The walls between worlds will be almost non-existent. Physics is gonna go ballistic. Increases and decreases in gravity. Spatial extrusions. The very fabric of reality is gonna be torn apart.."

Then the TV starts flickering. The screen switching between channels in front of Y/N.

The others notice and make their way behind him as the screen stops and makes a final switch. It was Malekith standing there like he was waiting.

"I will speak to Y/N," Malekith demands.

Y/N moves his hand from his face and looks at him. Or more so glares.

Noticing Y/N in front of him he continues, "The end of your Universe is nigh. You will accept your fate or for a warrior of your caliber, you may join me.. And have the other ones place."

Y/N's eye twitches as he knew Malekith meant Loki, "...No."

The others behind him look at him surprised he even replied in the first place. Malekith just blinks once, looking confused.

"Explain yourself," He demanded.

"..I said 'no'."

"What is the meaning of this negative?" Malekith exclaims.

"It means 'No'."

Malekith then tells him, "Then you will perish along with the rest of your planet and universe."

"No! Cuz this is what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna save everyone. I'm gonna save the Earth from your terror. And then I'm gonna save the universe. And then, Just to finish off, I'm gonna wipe every last stinking Dark Elf out of the sky!!"

"You have no weapons. No defenses. No plan," Malekith says.

Y/N forms a wide grin, "Yeah.. And doesn't that scare you to death?!"

Y/N pulls out the TV remote and turns it off before Malekith has the chance to reply.
