Chapter 30: Loki's Capture, Shawarma Shenanigans, Aftermath & New Threats
The Battle of New York was winding down, the roar of the Chitauri replaced by the groans of dying Leviathans and the weary sighs of exhausted heroes. Loki, defeated and battered, lay sprawled on the ground, his grand invasion a spectacular failure. Adam, still invisible, watched the final moments unfold, a sense of weary satisfaction settling over him.
"Well, that was a blast. Literally. Good thing New York has a decent budget for rebuilding. And a good shawarma place. Because after all that, someone's going to need a very large, very greasy meal."
He saw the Avengers, battered but triumphant, gather around Loki. Tony Stark, ever the showman, was already making jokes. Captain America, ever the leader, was assessing the damage. Thor, ever the brother, was looking at Loki with a mix of pity and anger.
Adam decided to add a final, humiliating flourish to Loki's capture. He focused on Loki's scepter, lying discarded nearby.

As Thor reached for the scepter, it briefly shimmered, then transformed into a brightly colored rubber chicken, complete with a pathetic squeak. Thor blinked, then looked at Loki, who was staring at the rubber chicken in horrified disbelief. The illusion vanished, but the image was seared into Loki's mind.
Loki let out a frustrated growl. "What… what was that?! What sorcery is this?!"
Adam, unseen, chuckled. "Just a little something to remind you who's really the trickster, Loki. And who's really the one with the better sense of humor."
He watched as Loki was finally cuffed and taken away. The portal closed. The Chitauri were defeated. New York was safe.

Now, for the most important part. The shawarma. Adam knew the Avengers would be exhausted, hungry, and probably still bickering. He needed to nudge them towards the iconic post-battle meal.
He used his Invisibility to move through the devastated streets, looking for the shawarma place he remembered. It was still standing, miraculously, if a little dusty.
He subtly used his Technopathy to send an anonymous text message to Tony Stark's phone: "SHAWARMA. NOW. YOU'LL THANK ME LATER. - A.S."
Tony, looking utterly exhausted, pulled out his phone, stared at the message, then looked around, bewildered. "Shawarma? Who the hell is 'A.S.'?"
Fury, who was walking nearby, overheard him. "Another one of his messages, Stark? What is it this time? More glitter?"
"No, sir. Shawarma," Tony replied, looking confused. "Says I'll thank him later."
Fury sighed. "Just get the damn shawarma, Stark. You all look like you haven't eaten in a week."
Adam watched as the Avengers, weary but united, slowly made their way to the shawarma place. It was a small, quiet moment of normalcy after the unimaginable chaos.
"Perfect. Just perfect. The team that fights together, eats questionable street food together. It's practically poetry."
Back at his agency, Jemma and Skye were already analyzing Chitauri tech, their faces alight with scientific curiosity. Matt Murdock was on the phone, coordinating legal aid for the civilians.
"Adam, the Chitauri tech is fascinating!" Jemma exclaimed. "The bio-mechanical integration is unlike anything we've ever seen! We could learn so much!"
"And I'm already trying to hack into their leftover comms!" Skye chirped. "There might be intel on where they came from! Or who sent them!"
Adam leaned back in his chair, a thoughtful expression on his face. The Chitauri were defeated, Loki was captured, but the universe was vast. He knew this was just the beginning. Thanos was out there. And there would be more threats.
"Good work, team," Adam said, a rare note of seriousness in his voice. "This was just the first wave. The universe just got a whole lot bigger. And weirder. And we're going to be ready for it."
He looked out his office window, at the still-recovering city. The Avengers had saved the world. But he had been the unseen hand, the chaotic guardian, the loophole-exploiting mercenary who made sure they did it with a little more flair, a little less damage, and a whole lot more confusion for the bad guys.
