New York, Temple.
Just as Alaric had gone to the Dark Dimension and was absorbing energy, a day had passed outside.
And Amora, following Tony's instructions, had found Alaric's residence.
Knock, knock!
At the sound of the knock on the door, Clea, who was watching over the house, came downstairs and opened the door.
"You are?"
Clea mumbled, opened the door, and saw a red-haired, incredibly beautiful woman standing on the doorstep.
"Hello, is Alaric here?"
Amora saw that it wasn't Alaric who had opened the door but a silver-haired girl, raised her eyebrow slightly and asked softly.
"Alaric went out, he had some business, are you his friend?" Clea looked at Amora suspiciously.
She thought: Alaric knows such a beautiful woman too?
"He's out? When will he be back?"
"I don't know." Clea shook her head.
"I see."
Amora frowned and pulled a smile.
If Alaric wasn't here, she couldn't complete her task.
Should she go in and wait for Alaric inside?
Unfortunately, her abilities didn't work on women, so maybe she could first try to control Clea.
"Then can I… sorry, just a moment."
As soon as Amora spoke, the mobile phone Tony had given her rang.
After all, Tony was now her handler, Loki's man in the shadows, and the phone was convenient for contact.
"What is it?"
"I received orders, I need to go get Loki."
Tony, who had received Fury's call for help, was flying fast through the sky.
Fury had told him that Loki had appeared again and asked Tony to help capture him.
"Who else besides you?"
"Captain Steve Rogers and Black Widow Natasha."
"Understood, I'm coming."
Amora smiled mysteriously, a new target had appeared.
Loki's instructions to Amora were to control Tony or anyone connected to Tony whenever she had the chance and use them as moles.
In Loki's view, whether they were on Tony's side or Alaric's, they were likely all connected to S.H.I.E.L.D. or other superpowered beings.
That's why Loki said anyone could be Amora's target, the more chaos, the better!
Moreover, Amora's control didn't affect a person's ability to think independently or their behavior patterns, so there was no fear of easy exposure.
"Sorry, I have to go first, goodbye~" Amora waved and turned to leave.
Since Alaric wasn't there, she could only give up.
Clea shook her head and closed the door.
...
In the night sky, a Quinjet was flying toward the S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier.
They had successfully captured Loki and were returning him to be imprisoned.
And Tony had met Steve, Captain America, who had been asleep for several decades and had just awakened.
"I didn't expect you to be alive." Tony greeted him.
"Fury didn't say much, just told me to find you." Steve looked at Tony with the same surprise.
"There's a lot more he hasn't told you."
...
Tony and Steve talked quietly while Loki sat nearby, smiling.
Now Tony was his man.
And this guy with the shield, Steve, he was just a physically stronger human.
The only one worthy of Loki's attention was that monstrous guy.
Only, he didn't yet know if Amora had managed to control Alaric.
Loki smiled wickedly, feeling that the plan was going just as he imagined.
Rumble!
Suddenly, a loud thunderclap echoed in the clear night sky.
Loki's expression changed instantly, Thor had caught up to them.
"What's wrong? Are you afraid of thunder?"
Steve looked at Loki strangely.
"No, I just don't like someone who arrives with lightning."
Loki recalled something and suddenly smiled.
Thor was here, maybe this too was an opportunity.
Loki thought.
Boom!
Something landed on the Quinjet, making everyone look up.
Tony opened the hatch, and the next moment, Thor appeared!
"Tony?! Great, you're here too!"
Thor was happy to see Tony in armor.
"Thor."
"Hey! Tony, I need to talk to Loki in private!"
Thor turned to Loki.
"Really? I've got something for you too."
Tony said, fired up his boosters, and pulled Thor out of the aircraft, disappearing into the night.
"What… Tony!?"
Thor didn't even finish his sentence before being dragged away.
"Tony!?"
Steve shouted.
"Hey? Cap, we don't have to worry about him!"
Natasha called out.
"But…?" Steve hesitated.
From the scene just now, it looked like the new guy knew Tony, and it didn't seem like they were going to fight?
"Steve, Tony and Thor are friends, let it go."
Fury's voice came through the headset.
He had been monitoring the situation the whole time, and although he didn't understand why Tony had taken Thor away, since they knew each other, let it be. The most important thing now was Loki.
"Understood."
Steve nodded and closed the hatch.
Loki quietly waited on the side, hoping Amora wouldn't let him down.
...
Boom!
Tony had taken Thor and landed him in a forest.
"Tony? Do you need something from me?"
Thor didn't attack Tony out of respect.
Otherwise, he would've already grabbed Loki and dragged him to interrogate him about the Cosmic Cube.
"No, I'm not the one you need."
Tony raised his hands and aimed at Thor.
"Tony, you… Amora controlled you!?"
Thor immediately realized as soon as he saw that Tony wanted to attack and showed no joy at their reunion.
Amora!!
Loki had even released that seductive witch!
But how did she move so fast!?
The moment Thor realized something was wrong with Tony, he threw Mjolnir, he had to get out of here immediately!
Against Amora, only warrior women can resist!
But unfortunately, before Thor could take flight, a seductive voice sounded behind him.
"Thor, can you stay with me?"
Amora quietly appeared.
The moment Thor heard her voice, he slowly lowered his right hand.
Just like that time when he came to capture her, Amora made Thor lose control with a single sentence.
"I will!!"
Thor turned and looked at Amora with eyes full of fire!
"You're so sweet, Thor~"
Amora smiled with satisfaction.
The second one, success!
...
On the helicarrier, after Fury locked Loki up and threatened him, Tony and Thor also returned.
"Where were you just now?" Fury looked at them.
"We were talking about Alaric. By the way, has Alaric returned yet?"
Tony answered casually.
"No, I don't know where he is."
Fury had a headache, at the most critical moment, Alaric was nowhere to be found?!
