Chapter 131: Back to Earth II
The trip to Earth was uneventful—silent and easy. Before long, they returned via the Bifrost, arriving back on Earth in the middle of a desert. All around, there was nothing but sand as far as the eye could see.
"How are we supposed to get transportation in the middle of this?" Natasha asked, glancing at Dave as he led the group.
Dave smirked confidently. "I have my own magic," he replied. "And if you're forgetting, there's always S.H.I.E.L.D. I bet they'll be here in ten minutes."
As soon as he finished speaking, a subtle voice echoed in his ear through his enhanced senses.
"Correction: five minutes," Dave added with a nod, as they waited.
"Yeah, S.H.I.E.L.D. would definitely pick up a massive energy signature like this," Natasha noted.
Sure enough, before long, a helicopter appeared on the horizon, heading straight for them. Moments later, it landed, and Phil Coulson stepped out to greet them.
"So, it was you," he remarked with a smile. "How was your trip to the realm of the gods?"
Dave waved a hand dismissively as he casually conjured a portal. "Ask your spies," he said with a shrug, motioning for Diana to follow him. Together, they stepped through the portal, heading to Dave's house.
"We'll fight later," Diana said to Natasha as she left, glancing back with a smirk.
Natasha nodded as the Asgardian portal closed behind them. Phil turned to her. "How was the trip?" he asked.
