Aria watched Selvig from a distance as he works around the CMS device that had already been set up on the hideous building. " Not only was this a waste of space, work, and material. Now it's gonna be the center of the Earth." She whispered angrily at herself.
" Mr.Stark is calling you Ma'am." JARVIS said in her ear, she had taken an ear piece from Nat while she was staring at Clint and managed to connect it to her phone. 

" Go ahead and answer." 

Do not tell me you are at my tower! 

" Jesus, shout a little louder and you might succeed in making me deaf in my right ear." 

Aria Stark.

" Yeah, you see I just don't see candy land." 

Where are you? 

" Roof, bird watching. Well, cube watching." 

God damnit. I'm almost there, don't die till I get there.

" Love you too," She disconnected the call, not wanting to get yelled at again. Once she saw her dad fly by, she nearly shrieked when he picked her up. " I could have done that my own!" She said through the harsh winds. Thankfully it wasn't a long trip, landing her on the roof with Selvig, him still staying afligt. 

" Shut it down, Dr.Selvig!" He demanded, but it was pointless.
" It's too late! It can't be stop now. He wants to show us something! A new universe." 

" Okay." 

He aimed his hands towards the CMS and fired, the energy from his booster shattered with a deafening crack. Selvig fell backwards, down below. Aria held her arm up, blocking any possible harm. Tony started in disbelief that the CMS was unharmed. " A warning would have been nice, I could have even told you that the barrier is pure energy, meaning it's unbreachable." 

" You and JARVIS have been spending too much time together. Skip the spinning rims. We're on the clock." Tony picked her up again, making her cringe. He lands his suit and daughter and goes through the gauntlet and takes Mark VII off of him. Loki looks up at them smiling, they all proceed to walk into the penthouse.   

" Stay away from the albino." 
"Don't insult albinos, dad." 

Loki walks in, holding the scepter, Tony casually walks down the steps, towards the bar. Aria just walked in circles around her dads new penthouse. " Please tell me you're going to appeal to my humanity." 

" As I've stated before, you would make great Hallmark cards," Loki gave her the same confused expression that he had given her before. " You are planning on taking over Earth, and still don't know what Hallmark is?" 

" Eh hmm, anyway. Actually, I'm planning to threaten you." Tony made his way to his bar, making Aria wonder how many bars were in this tower.
" You should have left your armor on for that." The Odinsons, and their massive ego. 

" Yeah, it's seen a bit of mileage. You've got the blue stick of destiny. Would you like a drink." 

"Yes," 

" Stalling me won't change anything." 

" No, no, no. Threatening. No drink? You sure? I'm having one." Tony said, making himself his drink, staring wide eyed at his daughter choosing a random bottle, opening it and just drinking it from the bottle.
" Don't worry, I can't get drunk... Unfortunately" Both men gave her a questioning look, before continuing their chat. 

" The Chitauri are coming, nothing will change that. What have I to fear?"

" Her." Tony said quickly pointing to Aria, who was already half way down the bottle, making him give her a 'you're embarrassing me in front of the bad guy' look. " And the Avengers," Loki looks at him, confused. " It's what we call ourselves, sort of like a team. ' Earth's Mightiest Hero's' type of thing."
