Held, written, and logged by IBI / Stavroforos.

Opening to the sweet sound of 'Purple Haze' by Jimi Hendrix, we see Tony Stark roaming the Manhattan Stark Tower discussing with his head scientist, Samuel Sterns, about the Stark science division. Tony gives him some quick answers basically giving him full-freedom on the division as his company's board trusts him, Tony goes to his office shutting the door on him. He then removes his dress-shirt revealing his arc-reactor glowing beneath his tanktop; he enters his secret laboratory to further-work on his prototype Model IV Iron Man armor. Soon after his entry, his friend and Avengers team-mate Bruce Banner enters his secret lab. Tony doesn't know this due to his recent lack of sleep and focus on his work. Bruce turns down his radio and begins to talk with Tony worried about his health. Tony is quick to excuse it knowing his body, and then re-directs the conversation onto the new armor he's been working on after Bruce asks. Tony goes through the security procedures to opening such invention, it being a quote 'revolutionary technological development' to further 'flex' it's power on Bruce to boost his already large-ego. As Tony now begins to put on his newly-invented armor, we see Thor enter via the Bifrost from Asgard onto Earth. While amazed by the developments Midgard had made in his time away, he is quick to enter the skies by using his trusty hammer Mjolnir to look for his escaped trickster brother Loki. As this happens, Tony begins to show Bruce the new stuff his Model IV armor has like prototype cunning-edge EMP technology, improved jets, and a fresh new paint-job as Tony was 'getting bored of the pure gold. ' At this time, Janet van Dyne arrives to his office while Hank returns to the Pym Building to work on his pym particles. To show off to her being the playboy he is, Tony prepares for a flight-test hitting on her. She rejects him and tells him to call the team when his armor malfunctions and leaves him on the middle of the highway. Tony chuckles before boosting off into the sky pre-maturely. After blazing through the bright blue skies, Tony goes through all the many boroughs of Manhattan ending up in Midtown where he spots two figures about to be hit by a train on some train-tracks. You see, during the time Tony was flying around. Loki made his presence apparent to Thor and Thor begged his brother to give-up and face Asgardian trial for a lesser sentence. Loki refused using his magic to torment Thor which started the fight leading to the tracks. Iron Man now enters nearly hitting Thor, he slows down grabbing the train stopping it before hitting the two. When he turns back, he only sees Thor. Now confused, he looks to the train seeing it was filled with Loki clones before disappearing. Now curious, he begins to ask Thor, someone whom he hadn't met before, for answers. Thor ignored him looking for Loki, which annoyed Tony who didn't like being ignored. Soon, when conflicts grew, Thor just knocked Iron Man off the tracks with a simple-swing from Mjolnir. Now on the ground, Loki appears once more beginning to talk to Tony playing tricks on his mind by enhancing his emotions, his rage. Thor, seeing the glow of Loki's scepter, comes down. Iron-Man, now pissed at Thor engages in a fight with him only to be struck into the sky and thrown into a nearby football field. Loki now takes this time to disappear as Thor and Iron Man are now in an intense fight. Meanwhile, across Manhattan, Bruce leaves Janet for a moment to go grab some ingredients as they are making a snack since Hulk makes him constantly hungry. In the pantry, Loki appears beginning to mess with Bruce's weak mind. Back with Tony. Thor gets fed up with the fight, now really taking any damage from the fight, and goes into the sky to go after Loki once more. The enraged Tony flies up using his new-improved rockets and uses the speed to punch Thor in the jaw knocking him out of the sky and onto some rooftops. Tony, now begins to prepare his arc-reactor to send a blast to Thor to hopefully finish the job. Thor throws Mjolnir and it misses Tony, but boomerangs back taking Tony to the ground where Thor is. After some more fighting, a loud tremor interrupts them from nearby in Midtown. They stop fighting to react to this; Tony tries to contact Dr. Banner but when no-response comes in, it's safe to assume that Hulk is out. Due to this, Tony and Thor put their differences aside and Tony flies off to go deal with Hulk leaving the Norse god to do whatever he pleases aslong as he doesn't cause trouble. Now back with Janet, she's flying behind the rampaging Hulk when Giant-Man comes in kicking Hulk into an ice-cream truck. This only further powers the rampaging Hulk allowing him to grow as his eyes glow green. Hulk lunges at Hank knocking him to the ground making him shrink. Hank and Janet now try to take on the Hulk but are vastly underprepared. That's when Thor comes down striking thunder down onto Hulk believing Hulk to be Loki in disguise. Exhausted, Thor enters combat underestimating the beast. Hulk quickly tosses Thor aside then continues to knock Hank into a building knocking him out. As Janet rushes to his aid, Tony flies in quickly saving a child from being crushed by Hank and then enters the fight landing a small hit on Bruce. At this point, Tony begins to sweat in-fear as Hulk begins to growl and grit his teeth preparing to beat him to a pulp. Unbeknownst to Tony, Thor was there and had returned blasting Hulk once-more before slamming Mjolnir into him. Janet returns with the limping regular-sized Hank and walk over to Tony to discuss this new red-caped figure. Tony suggests the team lets the two battle it out as 'this figure' (Thor) seems to be putting up a good fight against Hulk. Moments later, Thor yells at Hulk. "End your trickery Loki and face the consequences dear brother!" This catches Janet's attention. After asking Tony and Hank if she heard that right, she explains Loki is the 'God of Mischief' from Norsemythology. He is also the brother of Thor Odinson, the God of Thunder. Janet and Hank don't clue in right away believing the two to be just obsessed geeks but Tony, having been with Thor longer, begins to question if this is the actual Thor. He flies over after Thor knocks Hulk away and quickly questions Thor. This distracts him allowing Hulk to kick him into the sky which Tony reacts to by saying "Yeah okay, that was on me." Thor begins to call to Allfather Odin for strength as Tony and Hulk begin to brawl out. Tony grabs a sewer cap and uses the strength of the armor to throw it as Hulk attempts to lunge at Tony. This knocks him some teeth out and ruins his lunge making Hulk tumble to the floor. Then, everyone looks to the skies as grey clouds form and Thor strikes down landing a finishing blow onto Hulk. With the threat neutralized, the group begins to group up circling around Hulk (who's reverting back to Doctor Banner). Tony now, without a doubt in his mind, believes this to be Thor, the Norse Legend and God of Thunder. The roleplay ends here.
