“That was one hell of a lightning, man! Though I have never seen red lightning before. Quite a fascinating mutation you have!” Mr. Stark said to me, having been impressed by that last attack of mine.
We were currently on the fighter jet, enroute to Helicarrier to drop Loki off. Captain America and Mr. Stark had currently their mask and helmet respectively off to get some air.
“You are that ‘Red Lightning’, right? The one who has been in news lately.” Mr. Stark asked for confirmation.
“Indeed, I am ‘Red Lightning’. However, I prefer to be called ‘Albion’.” I answered.
“By the way, what is your suit made of? The scaly design reminds me of Snake leather. I once wore clothes made of it but it just didn't suit my fashion sense.” Mr. Stark asked, curious about the nature of my suit.
“Sorry, I can't answer that.” I replied apologetically since the suit was made from an interdimensional beast’s leather.
“No worries. After all, I don't go around revealing the secrets of my Iron Man suit. By the way, why the hell were you in the rear with this power?” Mr. Stark asked.
“It was Director Fury’s order. He wanted me to watch the area to prevent Loki’s escape.” I answered.
“Director! We have captured Loki. He surrendered on his own for some reason.” Agent Natasha said through the comms, briefing Director Fury about the situation.
“Has he said anything?” Director Fury questioned.
“No, he has been silent, not speaking even a single word.” Agent Natasha answered.
“Just bring him to the Helicarrier. We will take care of everything else.” Director Fury said and ended the call.
“Stark, I think that something is not right.” Captain America said, wary of Loki’s sudden surrender.
“Of course, something is not right! This bastard here obviously didn’t make this huge mess just to surrender.” Mr. Stark replied.
“Unfortunately, we have no choice but to go with his ruse. It is the only way we can get to Tessaract.” Ms. Ororo said with a sigh.
“Who the hell are you?” Loki suddenly asked me.
“What do you mean?” I asked, puzzled by Loki’s question.
“I had not heard of someone like you when I had come to Earth last year.” Loki said, clarifying.
“Well you would obviously not have heard about Albion here since he has awakened his abilities only a few months ago. Besides, you look down so much on us humans that you would probably not even have properly researched us.” Mr. Stark said.
“Don't make me laugh!” Loki said, snickering as he heard Mr. Stark’s words.

“You think that he is human. What a joke! Just the staggering amount of magical energy flowing through his body proves that he can't be human.
Not to mention humans, even Asgardians don't have this much magical energy in them except for perhaps my father Odin. Even I, Loki, the God of Magic and Mischief doesn't have this much amount of magical energy coursing through my veins.”
I have to say that this Loki is indeed a great mage. He could easily feel the magical energy inside my body without using a single spell. But if he had such exceptional perception, then why did he fucking surrender?
“Huh! Magic is real?” That is all Mr. Stark said despite hearing so much about me from Loki.
Crack!
Before I could say something, I suddenly felt a huge explosion of energy right above our aircraft. Moreover, lightning started crackling in the sky out of nowhere.
“It can't be!” Loki said with a shocked expression upon seeing the lightning.
“What? You got PTSD from the last attack.” Mr. Stark asked jokingly.
“No.” Loki said, shaking his head. “This lightning is sign of misfortune for all of us.”
Thump!
Suddenly, a thumbing sound was heard from above us. Someone had obviously landed on the jet.
Hearing the sound, everyone got alert. Captain and Mr. Stark wore their mask and helmet respectively. Mr. Logan unsheathed his claws and lightning crackled in Ms. Ororo's hands. Everyone was ready to face our unexpected guest.
Then, Mr. Stark opened the deck suddenly without asking anyone.
“What are you doing, Stark?” Captain asked furiously.
“Welcoming our guest.” Mr. Stark replied.
As if on cue, a man dropped on the deck. He wore a metallic armour along with a red cape. He had long blonde hair. But the most unique thing about him was the hammer in his hand. Based on his appearance, he was likely Thor, brother of Loki Director Fury had told us about.
With my Dragon Sense, I could feel that Thor was dangerous, powerful enough to make me enter my draconic form to defeat him.
“Hello, Mr.—” Mr. Stark went to greet her but he hit Mr. Stark with his hammer causing him to fly backwards and hit the wall. But I could see that Thor had clearly hold his strength back despite his dismissive attitude towards us.
Before we could take any action towards Thor, he grabbed Loki quickly and flew away with him.
“Where did Thor came from?” Agent Natasha asked from the pilot's seat.
“It doesn't matter. We need Loki otherwise we will never get the Tessaract.” Mr. Stark said as he readied himself to chase after Thor.
“Wait!” Captain said, stopping Mr. Stark. “We need to make an attack plan.”
“I have a plan. Attack!” Mr. Stark said as he flew away to chase after Thor.
“Since Mr. Stark has already gone, I should go to support him as well.” I said as I approached the deck. I had felt Thor’s true power. As such, it would be better for me to fight Thor rather than Mr. Stark.
“But you have not taken a parachute. How will you fly?” Agent Natasha questioned.
“Ah! You don't know about these, right?” I said as the back of my suit opened and my wings unfurled.
“Are those wings?” Captain said in a surprised tone.
“Well, see ya later!” I said and flew off.
With my now enhanced wings, I soon reached where Mr. Stark was.
“Hmm! Is that you, Albion? Didn't know that you had these jets?” Mr. Stark commented as he saw my wings.
However, I didn't answer and instead flew off ahead of him. I didn't want him to risk his life against Thor when he didn't know Thor’s true power.
“Hey! Wait for me, damn it!” I could hear Mr Stark complaining as I flew ahead.
Soon, I found Thor and Loki with the help of my Dragon Sense. They were on a small hill. Thar was arguing about something with Loki.
I saw a relatively high powered lightning bolt at Thor since I knew that he could take it.
As the lightning bolt hit Thor, it cost him to fly into the forest due to the impact. Ignoring Loki for now, I chased after Thor since he was the priority for now.
As I landed before Thor, I could see that he had received not a single scratch from my lightning bolt.
“You are the first one I have seen whose lightning could affect me.” Thor said in praise to my attack.
“But nothing will stop me from taking Loki today.” Thor said as he called his hammer to his hand.
I too got ready for my most serious battle since I had received my powers.
