New York City, 2012. S.H.E.I.L.D. base
(10:38)

Amelia P.O.V.
"Mornin' sunshine." Stark says as I walk into the lab holding toast. "Morning" I say as I sit down in the black office chair again. "If you spin in that chair I swear to god I'm stealing that toast" Stark threatens me. "You can have it" I say holding it out. Stark just looks up at me. "I'm not brainless Amelia." Stark says leaning against the desk and looking down at his holographic phone.

"You're not? Could've fooled me.." I say acting shocked.

Stark just rolls his eyes.

"Hey Stark where did you put the-" Banner says as he starts to walk in and then looks over to me. "Howdy Banner" I say tipping my air hat like a cowboy. Banner then looks over to Stark. "Does she know?" he asks and Stark just whips his head to Banner. "No, and now that you've said that, I'm obligated to tell her" Stark says as he sighs, pinching the bridge of his nose and Banner just looks back at me with an 'oops' look written all over his face.

"I'm listening" I say looking directly at Stark. "You always are" he says smirking and I just roll my eyes. "We're uncovering the dirty secrets that S.H.E.I.L.D. has, Jarvis has been snooping through the system" Stark says looking up at me. "So that's what that little thing you stuck on Fury's computer was for?" I ask snd he raises his eyebrows. "I thought it was a bomb that's why I always stayed far away from it" I say shrugging. Stark just smiles and heads to one of the computers.

Later (1:26)

"BAHAHA" I say as I lean over the chair trying to catch my breath. Stark just glares at me from across the room with crossed arms. "You? Beat me? In a fight?" I ask laughing even more now that I personally said it out loud. Banner just smirks at Stark as Stark glares at him and Banner quickly wipes his smirk away. "That's a fake laugh" Stark says. I just wheeze on my chair practically spazzing out from laughter. "The magazine's were correct about you Stark, you are funny" I say calming down from laughing. Stark just rolls his eyes and smirks at the backhanded-compliment.

"I got something" Banner says causing Stark ti rush over to him. "On The Tesseract?" I ask. "No the S.H.E.I.L.D. files" he responds, tapping on the computer. After a few minutes of Banner and Stark tapping away on the computer Fury rushes in. "What are you doin? Mr Stark?" Fury asks glaring at Banner and Stark. "Uh...kind of been wondering the same thing about you." Stark replies looking back at Fury innocently. I create some popcorn and pop in my hands as I watch the fight about to break down. "You're supposed to be locating the Tesseract." Fury replies angrily. "We are. The model's locked and we're sweeping for the signature now. When we get a hit, we'll have the location within half a mile." Banner says budding in never taking his eyes off the computer. "And you'll get your cube back, no muss, no fuss." Stark says as he taps on a file. "What is 'PHASE 2'?" Stark asks turning to Fury who was glaring at him.

Suddenly I heard the door open as I munch on more popcorn whipping my head to the door to see Steve walk in silently. "PHASE 2 is SHIELD uses the cube to make weapons. Sorry, the computer was moving a little slow." Steve says glaring at Fury. "Rogers, we gathered everything related to the Tesseract. This does not mean that we're..." Fury tries to explain.

"I'm sorry Nick." Tony says as he turns the screen to Fury and Steve revealing a weapon that consists of The Tesseract being the main key component.

"What were you lying?" Tony asks innocently

"I was wrong, director. The world hasn't changed a bit." Steve says as he turns his gaze from the computer to Fury, clearly upset. Suddenly Natasha rushes in, eyes locked to Banner. Banner is obviously mad. I make drop the popcorn and pop making them disappear as I walk up next to Banner. If he shows any signs of anger I'll use my hallucinations to calm him down. I lean against the table that Banner is standing in-front of. "Did you know about this?" Banner asks turning to Natasha. "You wanna think about removing yourself from this environment, doctor?" Natasha days hinting for Banner to leave before he gets upset. "I was in Calcutta, I was pretty well removed." Banner says snapping at Natasha.

"Loki's manipulating you."

"And you've been doing what exactly?"

"You didn't come here because I bat my eyelashes at you."

"Yes, and I'm not leaving because suddenly you get a little twitchy. I'd like to know why SHIELD is using the Tesseract to build weapons of mass destruction." Banner says walking in-front of me and pointing to the computer screen which displayed a weapon blueprint. I turn my head to Fury as everyone else does expecting an answer.

Fury sighs.

"Because of him" Fury says, pointing to Thor who's behind him. Thor just steps back in defense, "Me?" Thor asks stunned. "Last year, Earth had a visitor from another planet who had a grudge match that leveled a small town. We learned that not only are we not alone, but we are hopelessly, hilariously, outgunned." Fury says putting his hand behind his back and slowly walking back and forth.

"My people want nothing but peace with your planet." Thor says getting upset.

"But you're not the only people out there, are you? And, you're not the only threat. The world's filling up with people who can't be matched, they can't be controlled." Fury says obviously getting more annoyed by the second.

"Like you controlled the cube?" Steve says glaring at Fury.

"Your work with the Tesseract is what drew Loki to it, and his allies. It is the signal to all the realms that the earth is ready for a higher form of war." Thor explains. "A higher form..?" Steve asks turning his head to Thor.

"You forced our hand. We had to come up with something." Fury groans. "Nuclear deterrent. 'Cause that always calms everything right down." Stark sarcastically says with folded arms, standing next to me and Banner.
