Chapter 70: Being worthy
Chapter 70: Being worthy
"Huh! What are you both talking about? Who is here?" Jane asked as she heard this conversation.
"Nothing! Just talking about a friend." John replied trying to deflect the topic.
"Is there another person from another universe?" Coulson who too heard their conversation asked.
"No. Just a person of interest." John denied it. "You will see him when the time is right."
Coulson didn't force to know more as it would be useless. So Coulson ordered the agents to be on the lookout for a suspecting individual. John and others stayed in their place as Jane and Eric continued to ask more information. Darcy was more interested in John.
Her enthusiasm was too over whelming even for John but he was polite as in future she has a role during the event of Wanda Vision. After few minutes of talking with them John said
"Let's go to meet him. He might have calmed down now." John said at the end. They went to the room where Thor was staying put while Diana and John went to check Mjolnir to see if Loki was trying to pick up the hammer.
As they came to the place that Loki was not there, probably he had already left after trying for few seconds. Loki knew better that no matter how hard he tried he wouldn't be able to lift the hammer if he wasn't worthy.
Coulson too followed them after making sure there was nobody was in the premises. John really was amazed by the magic of Loki. His illusions were really powerful as he never got noticed.
"Do you want to try picking it up." John said to Diana.
"Sure! Why not." Diana said and the next moment she jumped from the ramp towards the hammer. She touched Mjolnir for few seconds but there was no reaction. John felt maybe she wasn't worthy as there was no environmental reaction like the time when Thor tried to lift the hammer.
But the very next moment as she tried picking the hammer, it was easily lifted up. Everybody who was watching her were surprised. All this time almost all agents tried to lift it up but couldn't even move a centimetre and now there is a woman who could easily lift it up. Coulson was stuck for a second but accepted the fact because he felt only gods can handle other gods. Humans were still weak.
"Do you feel anything different?" John asked.
"I can now use electricity to fight. But in a more better way than when I fought Ares. This hammer is terribly well balanced." Diana lamented.
Heimdall who just had a chat with the new King Loki was dumbfounded for a second. It's been years when he started seeing weird beings appearing in Midgard. He even informed Odin about it but Odin only said not to worry about it. Now he saw a woman who could lift the hammer. He wondered if this woman would be the new Queen of Asgrad if she came to claim the throne.
Diana looked at the hammer for few seconds and left it in it's place. Coulson was surprised by it and asked
"Don't you want to use it as a weapon?"
"Hammer is not my kind of weapon. My lasso is enough. Plus, it belongs to someone else. By the way don't tell Thor about it." Diana said.
Coulson now really appreciated Diana. If what they said was real and this hammer was really very powerful it was commendable that she wasn't tempted by it's power. Then again she herself was a god with a powerful weapon.
After few more minutes of talking and lingering around, Jane and others decided to go back to their place. Thor didn't have a home in Earth so accepted Jane's proposal of going back with them.
John too left with Diana to a nearby hotel as there would be a fight soon nearby. Even though John won't fight as he didn't want to expose his alchemy powers to SHIELD but still he would watch it.
In the meantime Sitwell called Pierce and told him about the emergence of Diana and Thor. One Naruto world was scary enough now there are gods. Sitwell wasn't sure of how to handle it.
"Sir I propose that we should assassinate John. He is a variable for us." Sitwell said.
"Are you a fool? The people of Naruto world are dangerous enough, we have tried all means possible to entice, catch and even kill a ninja from their world but we have been repeatedly unsuccessful for the last year. We aren't even sure if John has other powers except for dreaming. If he has other allies who he hasn't revealed yet do you think we would be able to survive. Every single character that he has revealed possess extraordinary means. Let the Insight Project come to fruition only then we could be relieved. Even if we kill millions the world of Naruto wouldn't have any choice but to cooperate with us as they need us too for sustenance. About these Gods, don't they come from another planet. They will leave when this farce is over anyways."
