On the way back from his run, Cap tried to modify some of his martial arts to fit his new body. He also had time to gaze into a rather clear section of a river to finally get a good look at himself. His new fur was white, and his mane and tail were yellow. He was still wearing his costume and mask; it too was modified to fit his new form. He decided it would be best to get back to the group; Thor would need help when the rest woke up.

Cap returned, thankful to see that Hank was the only one who woke up since he left. “Hey Hank. Glad you’re awake.”

“This is amazing! We changed forms! And not only that, but our uniforms too! This is unbelievable! I need to run some tests on this! If we aren’t the only ones like this on this planet it could be a whole new species!” Hank exclaimed, probably too excited for his own good. Cap noticed that Hank was also a white horse, but with a more butterscotch color mane and tail.

“Glad you’re excited about this,” Cap said calmly, “Just go and make sure you know how to use your body, in case something comes up.” Cap turned to look at Thor. Thor was an orange horse with a blond mane. Cap also noticed that Thor had decided to give himself blond facial hair to match his mane. Cap found this an odd choice given the fact that Thor was also a horse, with wings, and a horn. Never the less this did not surprise him. “Thor, let’s try to get the others up.”

Thor nodded as he headed for Banner. Cap casually trotted over towards Janet, he was going to wait to wake up Tony last.

“Jan?” Cap stated as he gently shook Janet with his hoof. “Janet, get up.” As she started to stir, Cap began explaining calmly “I’m going to need you to stay calm alright, but we are all, well… we are all horses.” Saying that out loud sounded ridiculous.

Janet opened her eyes to see Cap standing over to her side. She blinked a few times to make sure she wasn’t seeing things, but yes, Cap was a horse. She started giggling as she stood up. “You think we would be used to these sorts of things, seeing who we work with…”

“Yeah, Thor thinks it is some sort of magic.” Cap responded. He was glad she didn’t start freaking out. He was already ready to deal with Hulk and Tony, but he didn’t want to have to worry about Janet as well. He noticed her fur was slightly tanner than Hank’s and his own. She had a black mane that fell to the right side of her neck. She also had, what appeared to be, a very small set of wings on her shoulders. “Go try out your new body, and if you see Hank tell him to try out his powers too.” Cap told Jan.

“You don’t want help with Bruce and Tony?” Jan asked sarcastically.

“I didn’t say don’t come back, just go try out your body.” Cap jokingly responded.

“A’ight Cap!” Jan stated as she ran off.

At that time, Thor took the time to change back to his normal form to wake Bruce, lest the hulk should become a problem. Thor decided the best thing to do was to wake up Bruce, then tell him he was a horse before he could figure it out on his own.

Thor thought this was a good idea.

“Friend Banner! Awake!” Thor exclaimed as he gently, well gently for Thor, shook Banner.

“What?! What’s happening?!” Bruce exclaimed as he bolted up into a sitting position.

“Thou art a horse, as is the Captain, Man of Iron, the Wasp and Yellowjacket.” Thor stated.

Bruce just cocked his head to the side as he continued to look at Thor, getting more and more confused as time went on.

“Look at thine self.” Thor blurted, slightly upset that Bruce didn’t understand.

Bruce just looked down at what should have been his hands, expecting this to be another one of Thor’s failed attempts at humor. After noticing his hooves for the first time Bruce’s mind took a moment to come to the realization that Thor was in fact telling the truth.

Bruce was the most tan of all the Avengers. His mane was a dark brown. He noticed that he was wearing full clothing, not just the shorts that the Hulk was wearing. He even had his glasses. “Curious…” Bruce whispered.

Seeing that Bruce seemed to handle this well, Thor loosened his grip on Mjolnir and again turned into his horse form.

“The Captain will want you to test out thine new form.” Thor stated before starting off towards where Stark lay.

As Thor arrived, he saw Cap already inputting the codes into Tony’s armor, in order to allow for him to gain access to Tony without the automated defense systems triggered. “How did Bruce take the news?” Cap asked without taking his eyes off of Tony’s armor.

“Well, although he was vastly perplexed. With Odin’s blessing the Hulk shall not taste Mjolnir’s sting this day. And what of Janet?” Thor inquisited.

“Didn’t faze her a bit.” Cap stated as he put in the final code allowing the faceplate of the Iron Man armor to slide up onto Tony’s forehead. He noted that, like himself and Hank, Tony too had white fur, this time accompanied by a black mane. Tony also had black facial hair, which again confused Cap, but he had stopped questioning these things around Thor’s third sentence spoken to him upon waking up. Despite the fact his head was shaped much differently now than it had been prior to their alteration, the armor moved the faceplate flawlessly, Cap noticed. In fact, their transportation had repaired all of the damage they sustained in battle. All the small rips and tears on Cap’s suit were completely repaired. All of the dings and dents in Tony’s armor were also fixed. There were no signs of cuts or bruises at all. Looking at them all, nobody would even know they were ever in a fight in the first place.

“Shall we awaken him now?” Thor asked, pulling Cap out of his thoughts.

“Yeah… I was just thinking.” Cap responded.

“A simple task.” Thor calmly stated. Inhaling fully to scream, and readying Mjolnir for a thunderous boom.

“NO!” Cap shouted as loud as he possible could, seemingly disappointing Thor in the process.

Cap then started to gently turn Tony’s head and addressed JARVIS, Iron Man’s onboard computer, “JARVIS, could you wake up Tony and provide a status report of both armor and life support systems?”

“Yes Sir, Captain Rogers,” Tony’s electronic butler responded in its English accent, “Initiating wake up protocols now. Armor integrity at 100%. Life support at 100%. Atmosphere appears to be breathable. Unidentifiable energy in the air. Unable to connect to STARK satellite network.”

“Thank you JARVIS.” Cap responded.

After about two or three minutes, Tony started to stir. “What happened? Did we win?” Tony muttered as he tried his hardest to open his eyes against the blinding sunlight.

“Well, we…” Cap started, searching for the best way to break their current situation to Tony.

Thor promptly interrupted saying “Kang’s final blast has sent us beyond the planes of Yggdrasil into an entirely new plane of magical energies. Friend Stark, thou hath been transformed into a horse.”

Tony immediately opened both his eyes and mouth in order to lecture Thor on how magic does not exist, before remembering why he didn’t open his eyes before. The sun poured into his eyes and he let out a groan of annoyance, before mentally commanding his faceplate to return to his face. As the sensors in his helmet calibrated in order to allow only the most comfortable amount of light into his eyes Tony stated, “Magic, does not exist. It is simply…” He was then cut off by falling face first into the dirt, as he tried to stand on two legs, prompting a hearty chuckle from Thor.

“Tony, I don’t really care about what it is at the moment, but we are horses. I suggest you get used to your body.” Cap stated as he helped Tony back up into a more comfortable standing position.

Tony finally looked at both Cap and Thor and came to the conclusion that they were, in fact, horses. His first reaction was to try to fly, using his boot and hand repulsors. Because the boot jets were much more powerful than the ones on his hand, this led to Tony’s hind legs doing a flip over his front legs, landing on his back, again causing Thor to laugh with mighty resolve.

As Cap again helped Tony to his feet, Cap tried his best to calm Tony, “Pull yourself together, we have been through worse and have found a way out. We need you to be able to think, and think clearly. Hank, Janet and Bruce should be returning soon, I suggest you adjust to your new body before then.”

Tony’s reply was inaudible to both Cap and Thor, as he walked away.

“Has thine ‘micro-phones’ failed thee, friend Stark?” Thor added in a humored tone.

Tony replied with another inaudible sound, this one significantly more angered.

Thor laughed once more.

After Tony got accustomed to how his body worked, he took the time to set his suit to solar recharge, in case electricity wasn’t available on this plane. He entered the edge of the forest in order to gain some privacy as he unsuited to better look at his suit. Tony noticed that his repulsors would be useless in combat. His missiles and bullets were completely full, but, unlike his repulsors, they were a limited weapon. Unless he flew over every opponent, he would have to rely on his bullets and the enhanced strength his suit allowed him. He could also use his unibeam, but that drained his suits power and his life support if used too frequently. He took the time to look at his own body. His mane was closely cut to his fur and his Arc reactor was still imbedded in his chest. As he continued looking at himself, he noticed something on his flank. It appeared to be a picture of two gears, one gear had little missiles, guns and weapons on it, the other had his Arc reactor, the Iron Man faceplate and the Avengers’ “A” symbol. He would be sure to tell the rest about this later. After getting back in his suit, he ran a diagnostic, which reminded him that he had his “booster jets” on his back. He normally used them on long flights, but he now was going to use them as some sort of dash jets, to allow him to move faster, without having to fly. He practiced his new idea while heading back towards the other Avengers.
