[A few minutes before Cleo arrived on top of the tower for the second time]

Loki was watching in the penthouse as the Chitauri invaded New York relentlessly. The Leviathans were flying around, and the soldiers were shooting the police and the Avengers below.

But he noticed something, that the invasion was failing spectacularly. The soldiers fell one by one like poisoned flies, almost all of the Leviathans were either cut in half, or crushed by the hulk, not to mention, the angel above slaughtering the reinforcements so easily.

Loki clenched his sceptre as he was frustrated by the scene.

“Stubborn ants!” he cursed. He wanted to walk towards the penthouse to calm himself down, but then he sensed that someone was nearby. So, he shot a blue beam from the sceptre towards the direction of that ‘someone’.

As the blue beam hit that man, it didn’t hurt him, instead, the man sort of absorbed the energy, making Loki’s eyes widened.

“That wasn’t very nice, was it?” said the man calmly, walking towards Loki.

Loki frowned at the sight of the man. “Hello uncle.”

“Is that you talking or the spell?” the man, Pluto, questioned.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” said Loki, smirking at Pluto, while aiming his sceptre at him.

Pluto put his hands on his back and continued towards Loki, before standing right in front of the sceptre. “What are you going to do with that toy? Shoot me with it?”

“This sceptre contained one of the most powerful object in the universe, uncle,” Loki sneered. “Even someone like you couldn’t handle its power.”

“Really?” Pluto raised his eyebrow. “Try me then.”

Loki smirked, and he touched Pluto’s chest with the tip of the sceptre, and the energy of the thing slowly went to Pluto’s body.

Loki felt like he had already won, but suddenly, the Energy that went to Pluto seemed too much, and that made Loki frown.

Pluto’s eyes suddenly turned yellow, as well as the energy that was coming out of the sceptre. The energy from the sceptre was transferring to Pluto’s body rapidly, and the man’s face didn’t look disturbed at all, he just kept staring at the nervous Loki, his eyes glowing.

And then, Pluto’s vision went dark.

As he appeared in the vast and empty void, Pluto could see the other two infinity constructs standing besides him.

“Oh I sensed mind in front,” said Juno casually.

“I seemed to sense him as well.” added Kronos. “Be careful, Pluto, he is the most.. difficult to handle..”

“I’ve dealt with Juno, it doesn’t get any worse than that.” Pluto shrugged.

“Hey!” Juno yelled in protest, and the three of them walked to the place where they had sensed mind.

“I’ve seen your mind, Eternal.” the voice echoed through the void. “You are.. a strange one..”

“Hello mind~” Juno said casually. “Long time no see~”

“Space.. and time.. on your side..” continued mind. “How.. curious..”

“He is not trying to harm us mind, join us.” Kronos spoke. “You’ve seen his thoughts, his memories, his origin. He’s special.”

“Yes, I have seen it.” mind spoke. “Death. Eternity, Entropy. Infinity. I feel their powers in you, Their creator’s power in you.”

“Death, Eternity, Entropy, Infinity. Your creator?” Pluto questioned, turning to Kronos, to which he just nodded.

“The Multiverse is more vast than you think, Eternal.” said mind. “Your goal for freedom, it is doomed to fail.”

“And how do you know that?” Pluto raised his brow.

“To kill a celestial, is to attract their other selves to you.” said mind. “Your battle will be fruitless.”

“Who says I will be alone?” Pluto questioned calmly.

“It is an idiotic and risky idea.” said Kronos. “But it might work.”

“You risk the stability of every universe in existence!” shouted mind, and he finally appeared in front of Pluto. “If you are not careful, you will cause a catastrophe that even our creators could not handle!”

“I trust him,” said Juno, walking towards mind. “You should too~”

Mind then turned to Kronos, and the green construct just nodded.

“Would you rather put your trust in me? Or a mad titan?” Pluto questioned.

“You are a madman too, Eternal.” Mind refuted. “Very well, if Time and Space trust you, so will I.”

Mind then bowed to Pluto. “I will serve you, Pluto the Eternal, the lord of all that is golden.”

As he said that, Pluto’s golden legion appeared in front of him, A sea of gold watched as mind bowed to their lord.

Pluto shook his head. “No, you will not serve me.” he said, he raised his hand, gesturing a fist. “As I am thou, and thou art I.”

Mind looked at the fist, and nodded. He formed a fist, and touched his fist. “I am thou, thou art I.”

Pluto smiled. “Thank you for trusting me, Hypnos.”

“Hypnos..” Mind murmured. “Very well.”

And then, Pluto’s vision turned black again.

—

As Pluto woke up from his trance, he was still at the previous position, with Loki confused on why is the sceptre acting up.

Pluto suddenly grabbed the sceptre which made Loki surprised, and he slammed Loki’s face with it, dropping Loki to the ground, groaning in pain.

“Wake up.” said Pluto, stepping on Loki’s chest. “This is not you.”

“How dare you uncle!” Loki hissed. “I am a god! I will—”

Pluto sighed, his eyes then turned yellow, and Loki was suddenly in a trance. Yellowish residue started to come out from Loki’s eyes, and the trickster passed out.

“Well, I’ll see you later..” Pluto murmured, dropping the sceptre to the ground.

Pluto was about to leave, but then, something restricted him. It was a silver chain, and once he saw who it was, he smiled.

“F-Father?” the woman questioned, it was Cleo. “What are you doing here?”

Pluto looked at Loki, who was unconscious. “Dealing with him..”
