While Michael and Thor fought, back at SHIELD, Fury called all the Avengers.
"Thor and Michael are fighting," he said, as the screen displayed the sky battle.
"Hmm, but why Thor?" one of the agents asked.
"Yeah, last time, Thor was very much on Michael's side," Clint (or Hawkeye) said, leaning back.
"You guys remember there was something about his sister?" Natasha said. "Maybe Michael knew about it, and now that Thor found out, he came to fight Michael about how he knew."
"Or maybe…" Bruce said thoughtfully, "Michael deliberately provoked Thor. Maybe he wanted to fight him."
"I'm just saying," Tony added, crossing his arms, "out of all of us, only Hulk and Thor can even keep up with that guy. Maybe he needed to test something."
Everyone exchanged glances.
"As much as I think this is only my thinking, I think this guy is still hiding a lot," Tony muttered, and the others nodded in agreement.
"He actually is," Fury said as he pulled up the big screen, which lit up and displayed four different versions of Michael. One showed him in his white sorcerer form, another in his black sorcerer form. The third image was from the old factory, where he was using mist-based powers, and the fourth was a live video feed showing him fighting Thor, surrounded by a dawn-colored energy aura.
"Up until now, he has shown four distinct powers," Fury said. He added, "There might be more we don't know about. But as Tony said, he's definitely hiding more abilities—and revealing them one by one, almost like he's showing off."
Fury turned to the team, who were now all focused on the four images of Michael on the screen.
"Hah, how can a single human have this many powers?" Cap asked, stunned.
Natasha chimed in, "Are we even sure he's human?"
Tony shrugged slightly. "I scanned him thinking the same thing. He is—100% human."
Bruce added, "His power source might be something not from Earth. There's no known energy signature we've been able to identify coming from him."
Tony nodded in agreement. "Yeah. Whatever it is, it's beyond our tech—at least for now."
"For now?" Bruce asked, raising an eyebrow. "You're building something to identify his powers?"
Tony nodded. "Yeah—and I might need your help with it too."
Bruce gave a short nod of agreement.
"Anyway," Tony added, "we should gear up together if we want to join the fight."
As he spoke, Tony tapped a console and several new suit cases dropped down from a side wall. "These suits are equipped with flight tech. They're lighter than the Iron Man suits but strong enough to handle mid-air combat. You'll all need them if we're going to get involved."
The others looked at the suits with curiosity as Natasha already stepped forward and began suiting up.
"As for Hulk," Fury said, glancing at Bruce, "do we really have to unleash him?"
Bruce looked uncertain. "I don't think we'll need him... yet."
Fury nodded. "Let's hope not. But if this goes sideways, we don't take chances."
He handed Bruce a secure tablet, showing their live satellite feed of the ongoing battle between Michael and Thor.
"Clint, you ready?" Natasha asked, now fully suited up.
"Let's go," Clint replied, grabbing his gear and activating his new flight boosters.
With a synchronized lift-off, the Avengers launched into the sky, heading straight for the stormy clouds where Michael and Thor were still fighting high above the estate—lightning clashing against dawn-colored energy.
****
The sky above the Earth trembled as two forces of unimaginable power clashed.
Thor, God of Thunder, hurled Mjolnir with ferocious strength. The hammer streaked like a comet, crackling with divine lightning.
Michael spun midair, deflecting it with his dawn-colored aura blade, the impact rippling through the clouds in concentric shockwaves. "You're still holding back, Thunderer," Michael called, voice steady and taunting. "Come on, fight like a prince of Asgard!"
Thor gritted his teeth, lightning crawling across his skin. "And you're still talking like a mortal playing god!"
He flew forward, lightning crackling from his fists as he swung with fury—Michael countered, twisting in midair, his aura flaring like a burning ribbon. They collided again, lightning and ethereal dawnlight exploding in a thunderous blast that lit up the sky like a second sun.
Far below, trees bent under the pressure. Windows shattered from the concussive force.
From the southern horizon, five trails of blue light approached at high speed. The newly equipped Avengers—Natasha, Clint, Tony, Steve, and Bruce—cut through the clouds in their stealth suits, eyes wide as the two titans above them clashed like gods from myth.
"Jesus…" Clint whispered. "It's like watching a storm fight a sunrise."
"I've never seen Thor pushed like this," Natasha muttered.
Tony frowned behind his HUD. "That aura—still can't analyze it. It's bending energy signatures I don't even have names for."
"Whatever he's using," Bruce said, "it's not Earth tech. Or magic as we know it."
"I see Thor bleeding," Captain added grimly. "And I don't see Michael break a sweat."
The suits auto-adjusted to stabilize them against the shockwaves. Tony zoomed in on the fight above, running diagnostics, but the readings kept fluctuating wildly.
"Alright," Tony finally said, voice firm. "We don't interfere unless one of them goes too far. Our job right now is to stop the fallout—contain the damage and evac the area."
"What about if Thor loses?" Natasha asked, her voice low but tense.
"Then he loses," Tony said bluntly. His eyes stayed fixed on the live feed, scanning every movement. "From the looks of it, Michael's just playing with him. He's had more than a dozen clear openings to end this—but he didn't. That tells me he's just testing Thor. Or maybe... showing restraint."
Clint narrowed his eyes. "You're saying he's holding back?"
Tony nodded. "He's not going for the kill. He's countering, redirecting, but not finishing. Which—if you ask me—is terrifying. Because it means Michael's still in control. He's not desperate. He's calm."
" from the looks of it he is pushing Thor to display more and more power, it seem he was really provoking Thor into fighting" Captain said as others nodded.
