The Princess

F I V E

I look down and a crowd of people are kneeling, I look at Rogers and then simply jump off the carrier. I quickly change into my similar hawk formation. I glide down as cap saves an old man from being killed. The rays hit Loki and he falls.

"You know, the last time I was in Germany and saw a man standing above everybody else, we ended up disagreeing."

He slowly starts to stand up as I change back and land beside Rogers.

"The soldier. A man out of time."

"I'm not the one who's out of time."

Loki looks to me and shows a wicked smirk. I grab my daggers as he just watches me.

"Princess Schade, or should I call you family. How happy I am to finally meet you, after so many years of being hidden away."

I slightly growl and he just stands there. the Quinjet finally arrives. One of the machine guns is pointed towards Loki, while Natasha speaks from inside.

"Loki, drop the weapon and stand down."

Like greased lightning, Loki sends a blast of blue at the Quinjet. Natasha maneuvers it just in time, giving Rogers the time to throw his shield at Loki. They both began to duke it out. Loki flings him to the ground, and then Rogers throws his shield, but Loki swats it away. As Cap is knocked down by Loki, the scepter is pointed to Cap's helmet. I look to Natasha and she nods her head, I quickly rush inside and through the soundless halls. I try to find any form of notice by the hawk, I know he's here.

"Come on out, Princess."

I quickly look up to see Clint walking through the halls. I stay on his blind side as I change into a dog. I watch as he goes to run past the frame and back down towards the basement. I quickly change back and rush after him.

"Clint, show yourself."

I stop and I look down the hall, he slowly turn around and smiles. He goes to grab another arrow when I throw the shorter dagger at him. I rush forward as it lands in his shoulder, he pulls it out and goes to strike at me with it.

"Clint, this isn't you."

I dodge the dagger as he grabs an arrow, he puts it in his bow. He goes to shoot it at me but I kick it out of his hand, he groans.

"Your my target, after you're dead no one will be able to stop us."

"We'll see about that"

I kick his stomach as he goes into the wall behind him. I stand there as he looks at me, he then looks back to his bow.

"Not today, Hawkeye."

He smiles as we both rush to the bow, he goes to grab it but I kick it farther. He comes back up to hit me, I fall back as I feel a burning in my chest.

"I won't kill you, I'll just wish you were dead."

I look up at him as he raises his foot, I quickly get out of the way and jump up. I try to strike his head but he flips me over. I land on my feet as the com in my ear goes off.

"We have Loki, get back so we can take him in."

"I have Clint, I can bring him home."

"As much as I want to help, we need to take Loki in."

I look back to the wounded archer, I frown and watch him.

"I'm sorry, we'll get you back."

I change into a dog again and start to rush out of the halls and into the cold outside. I get onto the jet and change back. I look to the villain and growl, he doesn't seem to worried about me. I stand up and walk to the front of the jet.

We watch the skies, as it starts to thunder. It Comes out of nowhere. Fury speaks over her headset.

"Said anything?"

"Not a word."

"Just get him here. We're low on time."

With Loki tied up and cuffed to his seat, Stark and Rogers watch from a distance, whispering.

"I don't like it."

"What? Rock of Ages giving up so easily?"

"I don't remember it being ever that easy. This guy packs a wallop."

"Still, you are pretty spry, for an older fellow. What's your thing? Pilates?"

"What?"

"It's like calisthenics. You might have missed a couple things, you know, during your time as a Capsicle."

Rogers looks at Stark, finally meeting his ego match. I roll my eyes as I walk in front of them.

"Fury didn't tell me he was calling you in."

"Yeah, there's a lot of things Fury doesn't tell you."

They look at me as I glance to Stark, he just watches me. Thunder and lightening nearly hit the jet, making it shake violently.

"Where's this coming from?"

Thunder starts to rumble overhead. Loki stares out the window intently. I watch him, he seems shaken. Thor has finally decided to show up.

"What's the matter? Scared of a little lightning?"

"I'm not overly fond of what follows."

"Neither am I, not really my forte."

They watch me as a bright light hits the Quinjet. I look to Loki and frown, the ramp opens as Thor jumps in.

"Don't do this"

He quickly looks at me as he grabs Loki by the throat and they both jump out of the jet. Stark and Rogers stares at the open ramp dumbfounded. I smirk and walk over to the ramp. Stark puts on his helmet, I laugh.

"Now there's that guy."

"Another Asgardian?"

"Think the guy's a friendly?"

"Doesn't matter. If he frees Loki or kills him, the Tesseract's lost."

He turns and gets ready to jump off the jet to chase after Thor.

"Stark, we need a plan of attack!"

"I have a plan. Attack."

He goes to jump but I grab onto his suit. He looks at me and I frown.

"Leave Thor to me, you get Loki. He's the one we need, I'll deal with his brother."
