After the old-fashioned group photo was taken, Maverick destroyed the portal with the Mind Scepter. The space vortex in the sky quickly vanished, leaving behind clear skies.

The survivors in Manhattan were stunned at first, then erupted into cheers, some even breaking into tears. It was over. The nightmare was finally over.

"Damn aliens, damn monsters!" someone shouted. "They're finally gone!"

High-ranking officials across the world heaved a collective sigh of relief. President Ellis immediately ordered preparations for a press conference to declare the United States victorious in defending Earth against an alien invasion.

But Chief George wasn't celebrating yet. "Now's not the time to rest, people! Get to the city and help the survivors! Manhattan needs us!"

The officers rallied around him. Saving lives was their duty.

Meanwhile, in Wakanda, King T'Chaka addressed his council. "Prepare for war. The United States will not let this invasion pass without trying to assert dominance."

The elders nodded grimly, while T'Challa sighed. "Neither will we," one of them said with cold resolve.

Maverick held the Cosmic Cube in one hand and the Mind Scepter in the other. A powerful urge to claim them both as his own washed over him. His grip tightened on the artifacts, but he quickly shook himself free of the thought.

He studied the Mind Scepter, his gaze sharp. "This gem...

Deciding, Maverick stowed the artifacts away and turned to the group.

"There's one last thing to take care of."

"What's that?" Natasha asked.

Maverick pointed to Loki, who was attempting to slip away unnoticed.

"Beat the hell out of Loki."

All eyes turned to Loki, now filled with murderous intent.

Loki froze. Despite his arrogance, even he was intimidated by the sight of so many enraged superheroes. He spread his hands in mock surrender.

"Can I just... give myself up?"

"HULK!"

Hulk leaped first, slamming Loki with an earth-shaking blow.

"SMASH!"

Loki tumbled across the ground, groaning as he tried to stand. "Enough, you imbeciles! I am a god—"

Before he could finish, Hulk grabbed him by the leg and began smashing him into the ground like a rag doll. The repeated bang, bang, bang reverberated across the rubble-strewn battlefield, filling the heroes with grim satisfaction.

"Wonderful!" Natasha cheered, pulling out her phone. "Don't kill him, big guy, but don't hold back either!"

"HULK!" Hulk growled, swinging Loki even harder.

Thor, watching nearby, finally moved to intervene. "Alright, that's enough!" he shouted, only to be stopped by Tony and Ivan.

Tony threw an arm around Thor's shoulder. "Relax, buddy. Let's grab some barbecue. There's a spot right over there… oh, wait, it's smashed to pieces."

Ivan smirked. "Forget barbecue. I'll treat you to some vodka—real vodka, the kind only men drink."

Thor struggled half-heartedly, then sighed. "Fine. But I'm not paying."

As the chaos continued, Maverick's phone buzzed. He answered to hear Senator Stern on the other end. "Maverick, the President wants me to thank you on behalf of the nation."

"I promised results," Maverick said simply.

There was a pause before Stern asked, "So, uh, the Cosmic Cube, the Mind Scepter, Loki—what are your plans for them?"

"Funny how you weren't around during the fight, but you're first in line to divvy up the spoils," Maverick said coldly.

"Did you know Odin's spear, Gungnir, can destroy a planet in one strike? A planet like Earth?"

"What?" Stern stammered. "You're joking, right?"

"Do I sound like I'm joking?" Maverick replied icily. "The Cube and Scepter are my spoils. Loki? He's your problem now. Do with him what you will."

Stern spluttered incoherently before hanging up.

Thor finally broke away from Tony and Ivan, shouting, "Hulk, stop!"

Hulk flung Loki onto the ground one last time, snorting. "Puny God."

Loki lay limp in a crater, dazed and defeated. Natasha snapped a photo of his sorry state while Spider-Man and Electro took selfies with the unconscious god.

"You know this is going viral," Spider-Man said gleefully. "Earth's mightiest punchline."

Thor stepped forward. "Maverick, I'm taking Loki and the Cosmic Cube back to Asgard."

"No way," Tony cut in. "Loki killed people. He needs to answer for that here, not get whisked away for a slap on the wrist."

Thor sighed, turning to Maverick for support.

Maverick walked up to Loki. "Do you know," he said, "the last time you sent that Destroyer to Earth, I swore I'd make you pay for it?"

"Wait, Maverick!" Thor stepped forward, only to be restrained by Ivan and Hulk.

Loki forced himself upright, glaring weakly. "You dare to threaten me? I am Loki, prince of Asgard. Do you know what Odin will do if you harm me?"

"You didn't seem too fond of Odin before," Maverick said mockingly. "Now you can't stop name-dropping him."

Thor pleaded, "Maverick, I know he deserves punishment, but don't do anything extreme!"

"Oh, don't worry." Maverick pulled a scroll from his jacket, its surface etched with ancient runes. "This little punishment isn't lethal. But it's unforgettable."

"What is that?" Loki asked warily.

Maverick's grin widened. "It's a scroll I got from Kamar-Taj. Its magic does one thing—gender reversal. Permanent unless I die."

The other heroes burst into laughter. Tony doubled over. "This is the greatest thing I've ever heard. Do it!"

"Are you insane?" Loki shouted, panic setting in. "Odin will never forgive this!"

"On the contrary," Maverick said with a smirk. "If you're a woman, you can marry Thor. Asgard gets political stability, you help Thor rule, and everyone wins."

The laughter grew louder, with Tony adding, "Congrats, Thor! A hundred years of wedded bliss!"

Thor's face turned red. "This is disgusting! And I have a girlfriend!"

Maverick ignored him, unrolling the scroll. A glowing magic circle formed around Loki, who tried to escape but was held down by Hulk.

The transformation was quick. Loki's hair lengthened, his features softened, and his skin grew paler.

When the spell ended, Loki—now visibly female—glared up at Maverick. "You… you monster!"

"Oh, don't look at me like that," said Maverick.

Thor yelled in frustration, while the others roared with laughter. Tony wiped tears from his eyes. "Loki, or should I say 'Sylvie,' Welcome to Earth's funniest home videos!"

The scene grew more absurd as Loki tried to adjust to his new form. Finally, Maverick waved dismissively. "Thor, take him—her—back to Asgard. I'm done looking at this."

Thor groaned. "Maverick, you've ruined my life."

"That's what I do," Maverick replied, grinning as a Quinjet approached from the distance. "And speaking of ruining lives, looks like more trouble's on the way."
