Amira and Loki were left alone, yet again, but Loki seemed far more restless.

"What is the Hulk?" She blurted out, bringing herself to stand yet again.

"Are you ever quiet for more than a minute."

"Evidently not. I won't be until I know."

He let out an exhaustive sigh, and in hope it would silence her, responded, "a pawn to get out after I take back what's mine."
- True.

"I'm surprised you told me the truth."

"You have nobody to tell, let alone to believe you." Though, his brow furrowed just enough to know he mentally questioned how she knew it were the truth.

"Then what was your plan?"

"As already mentioned," Amira rolled her eyes at the remark, "unleash the Hulk, take what's mine- both of which causing damage in the process, and leave."

"And what is to become of me?"

He looked at her with a surprised expression, "why exactly should that be a concern of mine?"

"If you're causing 'damage' they hardly have intention to assist my wellbeing, and if this is to go down, I die?"

"Must I repeat myself so often, why exactly should that be a concern of mine? Your life is in shambles as of today, escape? They'll only hunt you down."

She didn't wish to admit it, but he was completely correct. There was no way out now. Amira knew she had to choose a side. There was no central option here. as much as she wished she could've been on the moral side, that group of people were entirely against her, they chose her side for her.

"In that case, what if I agreed to help? If it keeps me alive. As you said, there's nothing to go back to."

He sighed in realisation he led her to that response.

"What if I don't need your help? Which I don't."

"Well evidently your plan has been crushed, for now at least. Plus, I think you like the challenge."

"Challenge?" he almost laughed.

"Having one person you don't have under your complete control willing to assist you. Keeps things interesting. You've taunted me with no outcome for this entire time."

"I have no interest in assistance from anyone willing to defy me."
- there is was.

"Liar. I think it a good tactic to have the only individual that can see past your deception on your side?" 

His brow furrowed, in both being insulted and curious, she had done it again. "What?"

"There it is. Realised now?" She had planned to get him to notice how useful she may be. "Surprised? I can tell when even the God of Lies speaks falsely. Relatively new, but apparently accurate nonetheless."

Loki's eyes followed her eagerly, interrogatively, as she began to pace around the room again, "do you not believe it to be a wise choice? To have someone like me to deduce the disloyal?"

His head tilted upward slightly, he parted his lips with an attempt to speak, but was abruptly cut off by the deafening sound of an explosion that send shocks to the cage, sending them both the the floor.

Loki subtlety smiled as he strained, "there here," and brought himself to his feet, as Amira soon followed. Several more explosives followed, with the sound of gunfire when the two simply stood. Loki was waiting.

Eventually, the sound of a somewhat roar shook through the craft, leading Loki to laugh, "seems my accidental warning didn't help anyway."

A group of around four men with unnaturally glowing blue eyes strode into the room surrounding their cage, all holding weapons. That was what Romanoff was talking about.
