Giving Explanations (again)

Chapter 5

"Is somepony, or somebody, I guess, going to introduce everyone?" Rarity inquired.

Sighing, the Avenger's leader stated, "I'm Steve Rogers, aka Captain America: thanks to an experimental serum, I'm at the physical and mental peak that a man can achieve. I also carry a shield that is nearly indestructible."

"That he likes to use as a Frisbee," Tony joked, before noticing his teammates' glares. "Oh, like I'm the only one who's had that thought," he whined.

"You're just mad you haven't replicated the metal it's made of," Clint pointed out, to which Tony sighed, "Fine, I'll introduce myself: Tony Stark, also known as Iron Man, though the armor I wear when fighting crime is ACTUALLY made of a gold-titanium alloy."

"Wow: we have the same metal mixture in some of our fighter planes," stated a new voice, "Sorry I'm late: had to fight off the Zamaron's control AGAIN."

"Its fine, Carol," Hal reassured, "Just remember that you control the power, not the other way around."

"Thanks for the pep talk," the new figure said with a grin, "I'm Carol Ferris, but lately I've been going by Star Sapphire: my powers are similar to Hal's, though they're powered by strength of heart instead of willpower."

"At least Natasha and I seem to have someone who we can relate to," Betty remarked, "I'm Elizabeth Ross, but I prefer Betty: after an unfortunate hostage situation gone wrong, I have the ability to take on a super strong, winged form known as the Harpy, though I'm still working on controlling myself in that state."

"At least you can control your transformations," Bruce lamented, "I'm Dr. Bruce Banner, leading expert in Gamma radiation: ever since an accident I had, whenever I get angry or stressed, I become a creature of unbridled might, which the public of my home world has dubbed 'The Incredible Hulk.'"

"What do you mean 'unbridled might'?" Sunset Shimmer inquired, "I'm called Sunset Shimmer, by the way."

"Put simply, the more anger Hulk feels, the stronger he gets," Natasha simplified, "While I'm at it, I'm Natasha Romanoff, also called the Black Widow: while not as strong as Steve, I'm JUST as skilled in hand-to-hand combat as our resident super soldier."

"Forgive her if she doesn't give you anything else," Jarvis stated, "Unlike the rest of us, she didn't have a very good childhood; I'm Edwin Jarvis, by the way."

"And I am Thor Odinson," Thor declared, "Besides strength and speed of the gods, my hammer allows one to wield the power of the lightening storm, but only if you've proven yourself worthy of its power."

"If you're not, then you better hope it doesn't land on your foot," Clint said with a slight chuckle, "I'm Clint Barton, aka Hawkeye." As a stalactite suddenly began to fall, he took out his bow and an arrow and fired, destroying in before it could hurt anybody, or anypony, I guess. "And that's just ONE of the trick arrows I carry," he remarked as he breathed a sigh of relief that he reacted fast enough, "Haven't missed a shot yet. So what can the rest of you guys and gals do?"

One reintroduction of the Justice League and Equestria gang later…

"Why does it feel like that went faster than last time?" Flash inquired, only for Hawkeye to look at the apparent screen and stated, "Like he even needs to ask."

"Clint, you're like a brother to me, but PLEASE try not to refrain from doing that," Natasha pleaded. Looking at the apparent screen, Pinkie Pie stated, "We do this all throughout the story."

"If I may interrupt the occasional talking to the ceiling or whatever," Batman growled, "I think we should ask these folks what they're doing in our dimension."

"I got this," Iron Man declared, "Loki, a mischief making figure of our world, stole a powerful item known as the Tesseract, or Cosmic Cube, as I like to call it. It's said that it can make one deepest desires become reality, so when he simply vanished alongside a large portion of our world's villains, we were instantly curious, and a bit worried as well."

"Power like that in the hands of Darkseid could mean the end of us all," Superman declared, now more than a little worried himself.

"You don't know the half of it," declared a new voice. Turning around, the heroes of three worlds were shocked to say the least. "I know I don't have a lot of good press on my side," the figure known as Discord declared, "but believe me when I say that even I wouldn't wish for what those two are planning to come to pass."

"And just what ARE they planning?" Captain America retorted.

"Something that will destroy the multiverse itself," the Equine deity of chaos said by way of reply, "which is why I'm asking for your help."
