Trickster’s Tesseract (смешанная)

Loki made a slight gesture with one hand, twisting his fingers, that were enclosed by a glowing green fog.
And suddenly the portal collapsed, accompanied by a swishing sound. The whirring of the machine slowed down until it finally stopped. No other light than the Tesseract itself was emitted now.
Tony blinked, utterly lost.
“Did you just switch off my wormhole?!”

Odin decided that the Tesseract is no longer safe in Asgard’s vaults, so Thor takes it back to earth until they find a better solution. But Tony can’t resist messing with it. I mean, who wouldn’t want to create portals?
And who would have thought it would open up to the incarcerated Trickster himself?
As a new enemy threatens the universe, everyone is surprised, except for Loki, who had warned them. But who would believe the tales of a liar?

This story starts one year after the events of the Avengers movie, in 2013, right before Thor: The Dark World. It ignores Iron Man 3 completely and I will go off script later as well, with some unexpected characters from the MCU.
