American comics: Starting with Luke the Maker

“I have some breaking news.” Nick Fury dialed Thor's communicator while he was a guest at Stark Tower. “Raft is under attack.”

“Um, do you need help?” Thor was a bit confused by Nick's sudden words, and asked based on his understanding.

“No, I just want to tell you that the person who invaded the Raft is your brother, Loki!”

Nick's words froze the expression on Thor's face. Tony and Banner, who were beside him, also turned their curious gazes over.

“Loki?” Thor asked in disbelief.

“Yes, and he brought a very powerful henchman. Thaddeus Ross, who is in charge of the prison, and the powerful team he put together, failed to stop them. I've already sent you the video footage. I need intelligence from your side. Listen, Thor, this is a very serious matter, you must tell us more information, without holding anything back! I'm on my way and will meet up with you soon.” Nick said seriously from the other end of the receiver.

However, Thor couldn't listen to Nick's words anymore. His mind was filled with thoughts of his kidnapped brother. Yes, he always believed that his brother Loki had disappeared in the chaos and had been kidnapped. Now that he heard news of him, his spirits immediately lifted.

...

“Loki is here to play with me.”

The first thing Thor said when he saw Nick rushing over was with great certainty.

“I don't care if he's here to see you or to revisit old haunts, but you have to admit that he's a jinx! Every time he comes, he brings trouble and invaders! Last time it was the Chitauri, this time it's the Allied Army. Can't he just settle down? Why does he have to be against us?” Nick said with a headache. The appearance of such a troublesome person made it clear that they were being watched. This added more nameless anger to his already worried and stressed mind.

“Let me go! He might be forced to, without a choice. I'll go bring him back.” Thor was also a little embarrassed, after all, it sounded like his brother had done something "big" again.

“I'm afraid it's not a matter of whether we can bring him back, but a matter of preparing to deal with trouble.” Nick said with a helpless expression.

“If I remember correctly, Loki was temporarily detained at the Raft before he was handed over to Asgard, right? Could it be that he misses the friends he made there and wants to go back and see them?” Tony had learned about the matter from Thor, but Thor was clueless about the specifics. But with his brain, it wasn't hard to guess what Loki was trying to do by attacking the prison.

“Yes, he not only went back to see those old friends, but also took a batch with him! Ross's tone was very bad when he was talking to me. He believes that I and S.H.I.E.L.D. should at least bear half the responsibility for this. Because we let Loki go in the first place.” Nick snorted twice. General Ross was originally promoted to Secretary of State, but he didn't sit in that position for long. After Captain America came to power, he was thrown into the Raft as a warden. This time, it was obvious that he wanted to pass the buck.

“What's the purpose? This time, Loki's purpose isn't to conquer us again, is it? Could it be that he's found another backer?” Dr. Banner interjected from the side. The Hulk inside him still liked that little brother, at least he could take a beating.

“That's what I want to know too.” Nick's expression was stern.

“Perhaps Malekith has his eyes on you, otherwise he wouldn't have sent his Dark Warriors.” Thor offered his thoughts.

Nick stared intently at Thor's face and said, “Let's not worry about these things for now. I want to know, can you find your brother? We must find him as soon as possible and take the initiative into our own hands. Otherwise, waiting for him to make a move would be too passive.”

“I can try. I used to play hide-and-seek with him a lot when I was a kid, I have a lot of experience finding my brother.” Thor nodded. He did have his own set of experience and luck in finding his brother. As long as there was a general area and direction!

“How's the situation on Ross's side? Is he alright?” Tony's words sounded like concern and greetings, but if you listened carefully, everyone present, including Thor, could hear a hint of schadenfreude. After all, as a former military radical, he had caused him and his Stark Industries a lot of embarrassment and trouble. So even though he knew it wasn't right to gloat at this time, Tony couldn't help but ask a few questions.

“I've sent two elite special agent teams over to temporarily help him control the situation. But the situation is still not optimistic. Abomination, Dario Agger, Vulture, at least a dozen dangerous super villains have been released and left with Loki.” Nick couldn't help but get a headache again when he thought of the list of escaped prisoners. With this group of super villains together, and with Loki stirring things up, Nick could already imagine the chaos that was about to unfold.

Perhaps it wasn't as urgent and terrifying as the last Chitauri invasion, but it was undoubtedly more troublesome to deal with. Nick would rather Loki choose to confront them head-on like last time. Instead of disappearing and hiding after doing something big like he was doing now.

“Does Luke know about this?” Dr. Banner asked.

“Luke, including Captain America, I notified them as soon as possible. What we can't determine now is, what does Loki want to do next?” Nick said, but his eyes turned to Thor.

“Don't look at me, my brother has always been deep and scheming, I can't figure out what he's thinking in his head sometimes.” Thor spread his hands helplessly.

...

“They must be looking for us all over the world now, guessing what we're going to do next.” Inside the airship, Loki sat slightly sideways in his chair, his elbow propped on the armrest, his hand clenched into a fist and pressed against his cheek, a mocking smile on his handsome face as he spoke to those around him.

“I don't care about that, you promised me that I could have another fight with the Hulk.” Abomination's huge body sat on the ground, his voice muffled.

“I want to take revenge on Norman Osborn!” The Vulture, who was thin and wearing a prison uniform, also said in a shrill voice.

“I don't care, as long as it's against Hebron and S.H.I.E.L.D., I'm in.” Dario, who was deep and scheming, said with a smile: “I still have some influence in Roxxon.”

The other super villains also chimed in with their demands. In short, to unify the opinions, it could be roughly understood as: Cause trouble! Revenge! Fight!

“In that case, there is a goal that is very suitable for you. Your demands can be fully satisfied there.” Loki smiled and, under the gaze of everyone, said the target plan.

“Attack Hebron!”
