"See, the thing is, I don't exactly know where the main computer is." Olivia said, picking at her lip. They were still in the jet, flying over to Stark Tower to open the portal.
"How about this? I give you the scepter and you find one of Stark's workers. Take their mind so they can show you where to go. I'll make an illusion copy until you can return the real one to me. Remember the lesson on sending a material object to another person." Loki explained to her. Olivia's face lit up.
"I'd love that." She said. Loki smiled and cupped her face with his hand.
"I knew you would." He whispered to her, before capturing her lips into a deep kiss. She smiled against his lips, snaking a hand up to cup his face. She stroked his cheek with her thumb lightly. They jerked apart as the jet shook, indicating they had touched down at the Tower. The back hatch opened, the midday sun filling the inside of the jet.
"Agent Barton, go to where Doctor Selvig is assembling the portal. Keep a watch out for anything that could damage the process." Loki ordered as he and Olivia stepped out of the jet.
"Yes, sir." Agent Barton said, shutting the hatch and taking off to the highest point of the Tower. Looking around for a moment, Olivia spotted an entry point to the Tower's penthouse. Inside was an elevator, presumably so she could get to the rest of the floors. When she pointed this out to Loki, he smiled and passed her the scepter. She took it delicately in her hands, attempting to memorize every detail. Gripping it tightly, Olivia entered the building and wove her way through the penthouse to make her way to the elevator. Pressing a random button, she felt herself moving down.
She wasn't entirely sure if there would be a large amount of people where she ended up. Just to be sure, she disguised herself as a SHIELD agent until she got a better basis of her surroundings. Once the elevator doors opened, she peeked out to see if the coast was clear. There were a few people in the halls, maybe a few interns and a few technicians. Making her way casually down the hall, she turned a corner and changed her clothes to look like one of the technicians. Poking her head back around, she walked back down the hall.
One woman with auburn hair who was an actual Tower technical passed by Olivia. This is my chance. She thought.
"Excuse me?" She asked.
"Yes?" The woman asked.
"I was hired by Mr. Stark to take a look at the computer where his Artificial Intelligence is centered. But I don't exactly know where it is." Olivia said, sounding confused.
