SHIELD headquarters

Just as Nick Fury was sipping a nice warm cup of coffee, Maria Hill rushed into the room.

-Sir, you should take a look at this.

A big screen came up in front of them showing satellite image of London, which was now looked like a patch of black as power outage was occurring the whole city.

-Wha...? A total power outage in whole London? When did that happened last time ? Is it another Hydra attack again? What's their real target?

-I thought that at first too. But look at the readings at power station!

Maria hands him a tablet. Looking at that screen, Fury frowned.

-Power generation is at 93% of maximum capacity! Where the hell are all these energies going then?

-The answer would be this, sir.

Maria changed the imaging type on the big screen into that of a mixed energy signature of different kind. What was presented in front them was image of a typhoon covering of whole London city. Fury was literally speechless and didn't know what to say at first. But next moment something more important caught his attention. When he looked at the energy reading, this time he felt as if his soul left his body. It was extremely similar to that of tesseract. Only the characteristics are some what different. If not for those tiny differences, he would have thought someone unleashed that big typhoon of energy with a second tesseract.

-I am not in a nightmare, right Maria?

-Unfortunately, no sir. You are in hundred percent reality.

-I see. What do you think it is? Another tesseract?

-Though there is similarities in energy emission, characteristics are far too different. If I am told to take a guess, I would say, whatever unleashed that thing used same kind of raw material in tesseract but different processing technology. The energy at the eye of the typhoon, it almost feels like anti-energy, but at the same time it is not. It is absorbing energy but rather than giving rise to matter it is giving new kind of energy. That's as far as can guess.

-I see. Prepare a response team and send them in ASAP. We need to secure the object responsible for this.... invisible energy storm and evacuate important personals if neces.....

Just as Fury was saying this, the energy storm started to diminish.

-Woah, what's happening now?

After checking some readings Maria replied,

-Looks like the storm was cutoff from its power source, sir.

Fury gritted his teeth in fury.[Author: No pun intended] If an artifact which is able to cause such disaster falls into hands of hydra, he can kiss his summer holiday good bye, not that he was going to take it anyway. Looking at Maria, he said,

-Find what it is and in which hand it is, at... all... cost. We don't want emergence of another Red Skull.

-Yes, sir.

After a few minutes when energy storm totally diminished and power was online again, the surveillance team, frantically tried to find anything out of sorts. They didn't have to find too hard as they found from satellite image that whole Greenwich Observatory demolished. But when they tried to use near by traffic camera or cameras setup in the establishment premise, they were simultaneously static in 1000m range. Coincidence? When you start to work in this line, you stop believing in coincidence, and this was way too obvious.

-Maria, do you also having a déjà vu?

-Yes sir, I am!

-Then do you think, it's them?

-It can be possible. Everyone, use cameras outside 1000m range to see what is there. Phone cameras, satellite, I don't care what you use, just give us what is in there.

Maria ordered.

-On it mam.

A technician answered. They identified four figures from satellite images, but it was possible identify them through only that, but that would take some time. Suddenly another very small energy signature appeared next to them. The two figures carried other two figures into that energy signature. After that, the energy signature vanished along with the four figures.

Fury, confused, asked,

-What just happened? Where did they go?

-I am just as confused as you are, sir.

Half an hour later, when the satellite images went through thousand times zooming and hundred times clarifying algorithm, they had somewhat visible image of the four figures. One was a bald woman, another was African-American middle aged man. Last two was extremely similar looking around 17 to 18 years of age and both were unconscious. All of them were wearing Buddhist monk outfit.

-Well, I will damned.

Said Fury grinning.

Months later, around 20 light years away from Earth

A middle aged man with a fair skin and a goatee were looking at a star standing at the observatory of the ship wearing a peculiar (in sense of earth) armor with S inside a pentagon marked on the c.h.e.s.t. The dignified aura around him would influence almost anyone to follow his lead. A pair of foot steps could be heard as a short haired beautiful woman also wearing a peculiar armor, embedded with a symbol of semi S with three protrusions on the round enclosed by a pentagon, entered the observatory.

-You should be overseeing salvation of the world engine sub commander. What's the reason of your advanced report?

-Something emergency came up, General.

Without looking at the woman, the man asked,

-What is it? It better be more important than the salvation of the world engine.

-I believe it is, General. The ship has picked up signature of reality stone on Terra.

For the first time, emotion appeared on the face of the man. He asked bemusedly,

-Terra, is it? I wonder how my nephews doing! Without anyone training them, would they able to control their strength by absorbing the radiation of the yellow star? Or they would turn out to be utter disappointment, I wonder. Asgardians hid the space stone there, and we already picked up a distress signal from our scout ship indicating they have activated the tesseract containing the stone. To think that such primitive planet houses another infinity stone.

After the man stopped wondering, the woman spoke,

-General, the protocol says that we should immediately....

-As much as I would want to follow the protocol, Sub commander, we have to consider reality. We lack both reinforcement and supply to carry out as big undertake as retrieval of an infinity stone. Instead of an army, what I have in hand is a platoon, as for equipment... let us not even go there. And I doubt a force who wields a infinity stone would be any push over, no matter how much primitive they are. One thing does not fit in the equation that, reality stone was hid away by Odin's father, Bor ,when he defeated the dark elves. I doubt he would hid both infinity stone in same planet. How in the name of Rao did it find its way to Terra?

After remaining quite for sometime, he ordered.

-After salvation of world engine is complete, set course for Morag. It's time we retrieve what belongs to us, Kryptonians. I have a feeling we are going to need it.
