【Hammer Base】Until the Abyss

There was a lot of chatter in the conference room in Edinburgh.

It has been three days since Thor and Loki broke out of Neschet. They used the submarine to reach the military stronghold in the valley of the Northland. This is the secret base of Stormbreaker, but now, important members of the three rebels are gathered here.

Tony Stark drank his rum and moved closer to the fireplace.After receiving Thor's message the day before yesterday, he rushed over with his backbone members overnight, relying on the stealth of the Quinjet fighter jets, and dangerously crossed the airspace of multinational countries.

He made gestures while talking: "If you want me to say Thor, you really should try the new heater developed by the Stark Group. It is only the size of a kettle and can warm the whole room."

Steven glanced at him: "I thought shotguns are what this base needs more than heaters right now?"

"Comeon! Have a sense of humor?"

"Can you still be humorous at a time like this?" Eagle eyes were nestled in the corner of the sofa, eyebrows raised.

Natasha grabbed his hair, motioned him to shut up, and stood gracefully in the cabin to chat with GrandMaster.She smiled brightly, GrandMaster was also a sociable person, and the atmosphere in the room quickly became relaxed.

But in fact, no one is really at ease.

Thanos began to attack the great powers.In the early hours of yesterday, a TN494 aircraft bombed the central square of the capital of Asgard, and many aircraft hovered over the adjacent area, launching military operations against neighboring countries. The purpose of Thanos is to continuously narrow the encirclement of several major countries and cut off the energy supply chain.

"Maybe we can try to assassinate the heads of state of those thirteen countries?" Hawkeye proposed a new proposal, "Catch the thief first and capture the king."

"It's not going to work," Steven said. "Those leaders are just puppets, and unless we can kill thirteen leadership groups at the same time to keep Thanos scrambling, he can easily find replacements."

Hawkeye fell silent.

But what he said inspired Steven. The honest and handsome man thought: "When the GrandMaster went to Neschet to pick up Thor, didn't he already know the coordinates of that city? Can it be bombed directly?"

Thor shook his head: "As I said, he has been prepared for safety. Once he is killed, the three encrypted data disks will be released to the world immediately. It is not yet known how many missiles and arsenals will be detonated."

"Tsk!" Hawkeye punched the coffee table.

The atmosphere in the house became tense again.

Thor took a deep breath, and his eyes drifted upstairs, this is the number of times he has looked there.

Natasha knew why - Loki was still coughing up blood when they first arrived yesterday. Dr. Banner also saw everything in his eyes, and he thoughtfully handed over a plate of muffins.

"Thor, would you like something to eat?"

The blond rebel leader refused, his elbows on his knees and his brow tied in a knot.

After all, until just now, they hadn't formed any kind of feasible plan, but Thanos was speeding up the process. Thanos's subordinates are all desperadoes, and the crazy theory of inhumanity spreads like a virus. Even if all the forces of the three organizations are assembled, it is not enough to confront him head-on, and the countries that own the means of production and weapons that one can persuade , but also because of territorial rights and other issues everywhere.

Just as he was thinking, Fandral came in from the outside, bringing in some flakes of snow as he opened the door.The cold wind brought Thor back to his senses, and he immediately looked hopefully at the able man, but Fandral gave a negative answer.

He went out to inquire about Narve and Vali.

Eddriburg is quite a distance from Neschet. At that time, Hogun took his two children and headed north. When he contacted him last time, he sent a letter saying that he would disembark if he found a chance, and return by land. I don’t know why it was because of the communication. Inconvenience or out of safety considerations, contact was interrupted.

Although judging from the coordinates reported by Hogun at that time, it is normal that they have not arrived at present, but any father would not want their young children to wander outside.

Thor clenched his fists.

Tony leaned over and patted him on the shoulder.

The soul of Avengers really wants to say "Hey, everything will be fine, we are all gathered together, we can figure out a way", but suddenly it is difficult to say it, because he understands that he may not be able to bear it if he is in Thor's position Live everything.

There was a sudden coughing sound from upstairs.

The voice was so soft that Tony didn't react, but Thor heard it.

He immediately brushed off Tony's hand on the shoulder, nodded apologetically, and rushed upstairs in three steps at a time.

Natasha looked at his back: "He's too tense."

Even GrandMaster agrees with this idea.

When Thor opened the door and entered the house, the sun was filtering through the gauze curtain, and the anthracite in the brazier made a slight deflagration sound. The wooden house was very warm, completely separated from the world of ice and snow outside the window.

It's just that the people in the bed are not very nice.

Loki barely propped himself up on his right arm, leaning against the side of the bed with difficulty.Even though he had recovered a lot compared to the previous few days, his face was still pale and his brows were tightly knit.

Thor anxiously walked over to the bed.

Loki felt his fingertips being clenched, and he frowned and opened his eyes to see Thor's worried face.

"Is it okay? Where is it uncomfortable?!"

Loki shook his head, grabbed Alpha's forearm and regained some strength, his voice hoarse: "I just woke up, I feel like vomiting."

He tilted his head and gestured for the empty cup on the bedside table. It was the special medicine brought by Dr. Banner last night. It had no side effects on Omega during pregnancy. It was rare for Loki to sleep well, but the morning sickness after waking up was unavoidable. of.

Thor let out a sigh of relief, and put his hand into the skirt of his shirt, and found that Omega was sweating a little, and the heat subsided because of this, and he felt better.

He couldn't help but think of what happened a few days ago——

The submarine was borrowed by the GrandMaster from General Diplov. The ship is only equipped with basic medical facilities and does not have any medicines for Omega.Fortunately, Loki's ribs were not broken, and the gunshot wound on his left leg was treated in time, but the huge impact on his right lung and the signs of miscarriage could not be taken care of.

And Eddriburg also lacks medical care and medicine in the harsh winter, especially for pregnant Omega.

This situation didn't improve until Averages arrived yesterday, Thor watched Loki's brows open for the first time in three consecutive days, and had the illusion that he had finally crawled out of the mud.

It is impossible for him not to be afraid.

"I'm much better." Omega seemed to know what he was thinking, ticking the hem of his clothes.

"I'll go get some water, Banner said you can change your medicine when you wake up."

Before Loki could speak, he folded over to fetch a basin of hot water, sat back on the edge of the bed and wiped Loki's body first.He wiped it very carefully, and pressed a hot towel on Omega's skin, steaming it into a healthy pink.He was also afraid that the sick person would freeze, so he quickly wrapped Loki back into the quilt after wiping a spot.

"I'm not Narve and Vali, Thor." Loki said helplessly, looking at the hair on Alpha's head. "you do not need……"

"Ok?"

Thor looked up.

The close distance made it inevitable for Omega to see the bloodshot eyes and the indelible blackness in his eyes, Loki suddenly stopped talking, and Thor wiped his body for him, put his clothes together, and stuffed his cold hands Back into the quilt, and then help him to lie down.

"I'll change your medicine."

With that said, the man lifted his ankle, padded it, and unwrapped the gauze wrapped around Loki's left leg one by one.It has to be said that the combination of Stark Corporation and Dr. Banner's wound medicine has an extremely effective effect, and the injury to his left leg is no longer as grim as it was a few days ago.

After confirming the situation, Thor closed his eyes briefly, and smiled a relaxed smile.

That smile fell into Loki's eyes, but what he read was inexhaustible exhaustion.

"Thor..."

"Ah?" The blond man seemed to wake up suddenly, "Is it cold? I'll be fast."

After saying that, as if he wanted to implement this sentence, he dipped off the oozing tissue fluid and residual blood with alcohol cotton, put on a new topical medicine, and quickly re-bandaged the wound.

"That's not what I meant." Loki frowned.

He didn't expect, however, that Thor went to untie his trousers after doing all this.In order to facilitate the recovery of injuries, the "pants" are two-piece front and back, and only the key positions are tied with belts. Thor pulls away his good right leg and examines his genitals carefully.

"Thor!"

Loki was about to kick him in shame, but ended up curling up his toes and covering his cheek with his arm.

By the time Thor puts the tocolytic on, the base of his ear is so red it's almost bleeding.Of course he doesn't mind being checked by Thor. He has been with him for ten years and has three children. He has done everything he should and shouldn't do. He just can't adapt to Thor's overprotection.

He knew he had frightened him.

The right lung was severely impacted, and he stopped coughing up blood only yesterday afternoon, and it is said that when GrandMaster rescued them, blood was already flowing from his body.

He slept for a full 30 hours, and when he woke up, he saw Thor lying beside the bed with a thick bandage on his forehead.Wind and snow were intertwined outside the house, and the thin sunlight leaked through the thick clouds in a very limited manner.

As soon as he moved his fingertips, Thor woke up.

Loki couldn't forget his gray face and the blood oozing from the bandage on his forehead.

"You need to rest for a while." Omega pulled his thoughts away from the memory, and indicated the empty space on the left side of the bed.

"Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?" Alpha answered irrelevantly.

Loki's green eyes are fixed on him.

Thor licked his lips: "No news from Narve and Vali yet, I'm sorry, but Fandral is still trying to track it down. Avengers and SakaarScrapper are downstairs, and we'll discuss a solution to Thanos."

"That's because you haven't discussed it yet."

These words stopped the big blond man's footsteps, and Loki could clearly see his shoulders bent.

"Loki, I'm sorr..."

"Help me down, I'll discuss it with you, I thought of a way before."

Thor immediately vetoed: "Don't mess around, the doctor said you need more rest. I'll get you something to eat, you haven't eaten in eight hours."

"But you haven't rested for more than 30 hours!"

The man was stopped by Omega's sudden rage, he stood there in a daze, until he saw Loki trying to get up, and then rushed to help him.

Loki grabbed him by the collar and coughed muffledly, "Take me downstairs, ThorOdinson, and we'll solve these damn problems together."

The Omega knew that Thor was pushing himself too hard.

This man brought him out of the darkness and loneliness of the past, started a family together, put together the broken agents, and carried everything alone for seven years, which made him firmly believe that Loki was his responsibility.He keeps Loki and the kids behind him, slips up a bit, but blames himself with overwhelming guilt.

Loki's injuries, the children's "disconnection" and the many events of the Rebels almost overwhelmed him. His trauma was not much lighter than Loki's. At this time, Thor was like a wounded beast trapped in a cage.

He had to get this stubborn beast out of its cage.

"Help me down, or I'll go by myself, you know I'll do what I say."

Thor's face is ugly.

"Hey, I'm fine. It's just a little talk. It doesn't require any physical strength, let alone take risks." Omega ruffled his blond hair, "Let me stay with you, Thor."

Many members of the Avengers are also meeting Loki Odinson for the first time.

They've heard his name more than once, after all Thor always talks about his mate in joint operations.It is precisely because of Loki that Thor asks Tony for help for the first time (Thor is usually the one who provides combat support).

So they're curious about Loki.

It has to be said that this former agent is completely different from what they imagined.It wasn't the charm Tony imagined, it wasn't the tenderness Steven understood, and it wasn't the maturity Natasha imagined.

The way he looks at Thor is full of tenderness, and when he is brave, there is a kind of distressing fragility.

But he is also powerful at the same time, smart and sharp, and his tenderness and tenderness are only reserved for Thor. When facing official duties, Loki can be called shrewd, calm, and step-by-step.

After hearing the current situation, he said——

"So from the current point of view, the main reason why we cannot compete with Thanos is that his layout is scattered, the armed forces of the rebels themselves are not enough to be split into so many small units, and the friendly forces who are able to counterattack hesitate because of their own interests. .But in the long run, Thanos’ power expansion is too fast, and the longer it drags on, the worse it is for us.”

"Correct." Tony snapped his fingers.

Loki leaned into Thor's arms and thought: "So, to remove the useless nonsense, we are afraid that killing him directly will cause multiple bomb explosions and scandals in many governments; Because he cherishes his feathers; for Thanos, his way of acting is that he has not yet connected his forces."

Seeing him easily dissecting the weaknesses of different forces, Steven agreed: "That's exactly the case. At present, the rebels, the great powers and Thanos are restraining each other. limited."

"I understand that it is not necessary to consider things so complicated. It is enough for us that the great powers are allies and Thanos is the enemy."

"How?" Natasha asked.

Loki smiled: "Pull the allies into the water."

All eyes were on him.

"Thor has obtained the first database, and the second database has also been implanted with worm programs. We can do the opposite and release the contents of it to the public."

"Are you crazy?" Hawkeye blurted out.

"Hey, watch your wording." Thor was rude.

Loki patted his arm and said he didn't mind: "Killing Thanos will cause an explosion and information exposure, but the reason why information can threaten people is its secrecy and suddenness, no matter what, it will not hurt human life."

Natasha couldn't agree more.

"There must be a lot of black information about big countries in the database. If we make this public, the big countries will be forced into the water, and Thanos will lose a strong shield. At this time, we only need to publish the source of the information, not a single soldier. Thanos will be the target of criticism."

"Beautiful, and after that? The purple maniac isn't going to let it go," Tony asked.

"In terms of force, with the addition of allies, Thanos' military power will be contained by them. The real trouble is the missiles and arsenals that will detonate when he dies, and those who are brainwashed by him."

"You mean Neschet?" Thor didn't understand.

"No, it's all the countries where his dictatorship is practiced. I'm not sure whether his ideas are only supported by the top people, or whether they have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people."

"If there is a better choice, I don't think anyone will really be a desperado and a lunatic." GrandMaster interjected.

He led his men to visit small countries all the year round, causing trouble for Thanos in a guerrilla way, and had the most say in the situation in these countries.

"You know, the superstructure brainwashes the people who lack information, and people will become crazy in the face of the only way of survival. They have seen too much blood and death, and no one does not yearn for a new way of survival. All they lack is hope and choices."

Loki breathed out: "Then give them choice and hope."

He explained his plan in detail:

First of all, publish most of the content in the database before Thanos further expands its influence. The information content must be able to shake the political economy of several major countries, causing global shocks, and then point at Thanos; After the neutral position, the Avengers came forward to negotiate, lured them into the water, and confronted Thanos' armed forces head-on; while Thanos was restrained, SakaarScrapper* used his long-standing hidden experience to launch uprisings in thirteen occupied countries, calling for The people revolt; finally, Stormbreaker sneaks back to Neschet he knows best, liberates the city with arms, and dismantles the weapon launcher associated with Thanos' death.

"Then we can kill him."

"Genius, how do you confirm that his weapon launcher is inside Neschet?" Tony asked the most critical question.

"It's very simple. Since it is necessary to associate his life with missiles, arsenals, and even nuclear bombs, information transmission is required. The launch of these thermonuclear weapons often requires multiple people to confirm. Thanos wants to bypass other people to ignite independently, and he needs a person who can fire at any time." The system that monitors his vital signs, this high-precision and high-secret system must be placed in the safest place he thinks."

"But it's entirely possible he's carrying it with him, like the nuke launcher — the black football," Steven pointed out.

"No, what he wants to control is not just one missile, but all the devices." Loki said, "What's more, it is only used as an experimental base for the future empire. Thanos doesn't need to add that level of military defense to Neschet. We When he broke out of Neschet, he exposed part of the defense system, and that kind of strength cannot be just to build an unknown puppet country and gold-selling cave, which is his military base."

What he said caused everyone to talk about it. It has to be said that although a lot of data and details still need more investigation and careful planning, this is indeed the most feasible plan they can draw up so far.

Tony immediately asked Banner to call up the information for verification, and Thor and GrandMaster also joined in the planning.

When everyone was busy, Loki gradually retreated into the corner of the sofa.

The discussion just now exhausted what little energy he had left. After the effect of the medicine wore off, the pain infiltrating every bone began to torment him again. A feeling of fullness was always on his chest, and even a little movement made people dizzy.

He began to feel cold, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

But he doesn't want to bother Thor, at least not right now, his alpha is worried enough.

It's a pity that things backfired, and before Loki really fell asleep, Thor, who had been watching him, noticed something strange. Alpha immediately put aside everyone, picked him up horizontally, and rushed upstairs quickly.

Damn it, the agent thought, he had to talk to him.

"I'm fine," Loki insisted as he was tucked under the covers.

Thor ignored him, and the blond-haired Alpha was like a cornered beast, doing all imaginable food-protecting actions in the cave.

He fiddled with the brazier to try to make the temperature in the room a little warmer, got a thermometer for Loki to hold under his arm, and finally even tried to tuck Loki's feet into his clothes to keep warm.

"Thor!" Loki couldn't bear it any longer and forced himself up.

He was in a hurry, dragged to the injury on his left shoulder, and let out a muffled grunt.

"Slow down..." Alpha was more nervous than him.

When Loki looked up, Thor's face was pale, and there was unspeakable terror in his sea-blue eyes.

"Come on, it's really okay. I just pulled it, it hurts a bit."

"It hurts? I'm going to find Banner."

"ThorOdinson!" Loki grabbed Alpha with his left hand.His attitude was extremely resolute, and there was anger that could not be ignored in his emerald pupils.

He knew that his friends from the Avengers and the GrandMaster were waiting downstairs, that at this moment of their conversation, maybe Thanos was planning some kind of terrorist act, and even so, he still had to deal with Thor first.

For the final victory, for them to live to see the final victory.

"Stop your self-talk, I know my physical condition very well."

Thor stopped and put his other hand on Loki's wrist, lest he should make any mistakes.

The blond man's chest rose and fell: "I shouldn't have let you follow me just now."

Loki raised his thin lips: "Because I solved the problem for you?"

"The doctor said to rest, don't bother, you're still pregnant." Thor took a deep breath, and as if remembering something, he added, "You know I care about you, don't take the set of disrespecting Omega against me .”

Loki almost laughed angrily, should he say that after ten years together, Thor can turn back sometimes?

Omega simply leaned back and took out the thermometer under his arm. The temperature on it showed 36.8°C.

"Then what is it now? I don't have a fever, I don't have a cough, I haven't passed out, I'm just a little tired, and you treat me like a weak little girl?"

"You suffered..."

"You were injured too," Loki narrowed his eyes, "not to mention those bruises and soft tissue injuries, a mild concussion may cause dizziness, tinnitus, insomnia, and severe cases may even compress the brain's nerves and blood vessels."

"I'm fine. You're badly hurt, and Stormbreaker has a lot to deal with."

"So Tony Stark and Fandral are idiots?"

"what?"

"If you don't treat your trustworthy friends and capable subordinates as a meal bucket, then you are here to be a hero?"

The words were so blunt that Thor turned pale slightly. Loki doesn't save him a bit of face, and it's more like he doesn't understand what he's doing.The anger magnified the exhaustion in the body and mind infinitely, and the blond Alpha kept chanting silently: His injury is not healed yet, don't be angry with him, don't lose your temper with him...

But obviously, Loki has no intention of letting him go.

"Isn't it a sense of accomplishment to be a hero in front of Omega? The great Thor Odinson gave everything to protect his partner and children, bearing all the pressure and pain alone."

"You know I can't possibly care about that." Alpha interrupted him restraining his anger.

"Then what's the point of doing this? To be a hero and be a leader? While gaining praise from your subordinates, start a decisive battle with Thanos with a head injury, and finally kill your teammates and subordinates on the battlefield?"

"I do not have!"

Thor finally couldn't help it, his eyes were red, and his hands slammed on Omega's side.

"I didn't think so!" he gasped.

Loki held back his dizziness and glared at him unflinchingly.

"I'm worried about you, damn it! I'm just worried about you!" Alpha roared.

"I'm fine, Thor. I'm getting better."

"That's because Banner came in time! You were still coughing up blood yesterday, and the doctor said that our baby was almost lost. I don't care about her, but I can't care about you. I waited for 30 hours before you opened your eyes, you know Do you know how much blood you have shed?"

"..."

"There is still no news about Narve and Vali. No one knows what action Thanos will take next. There must be someone between us who stays awake," Alpha said, trembling here, and he lowered his head, as if using his last strength to push Loki circled his arms, "I wish I could be stronger."

Loki suddenly raised his right hand to embrace the wounded beast.

"Don't talk nonsense, you're already fine."

And the next second, with a soft sound, Thor's wrists were handcuffed to the head of the bed.

"But we need to talk, Hero."
