I meet up with Thor and Natasha, she learned that Loki was going to mess with Banner.

As soon as we walk in, Banner looks at Natasha angrily, "Did you know about this?"

"You wanna think about removing yourself from this environment, doctor?" Natasha asks.

"I was in Calcutta, I was pretty well removed."

"Loki's manipulating you." Natasha nods.

"And you've been doing what exactly?"

She steps forward. "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."

"Because of them." Fury points at Thor and I.

"Us?" I ask.

"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."

"Our people want nothing but peace with your planet." Thor points between him and I.

"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."

"Like you controlled the cube?" Steve asks.

"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." I nod.

Steve looks over at me, "A higher form?"

Fury turns to us, "You forced our hand. We had to come up with something."

"Nuclear deterrent. 'Cause that always calms everything right down." Tony nods.

"Remind me again how you made your fortune, Stark?"

Steve nods, "I'm sure if he still made weapons, Stark would be neck deep..."

"Wait! Wait! Hold on! How is this now about me?"

"I'm sorry, isn't everything?" Steve asks.

"I thought humans were more evolved than this." Thor asks.

"Excuse me, did WE come to YOUR planet and blow stuff up?" Fury asks.

"Did you always give your champions such mistrust?" I point.

"Are you all really that naive? Shield monitors potential threats." Natasha nods.

"Captain America is on the threat potential watch list?" Banner asks.

"You're on that list? Are you above or below angry bees?" Tony  asks.

"I swear to God, Stark, one more crack..."

"Threatening! I feel threatened!" Tony yells.

"You speak of control, yet you court chaos." I point.

"It's his M.O., isn't it? I mean, what are we, a team? No, no, no. We're a chemical mixture that makes chaos. We're... we're a time-bomb." Banner nods.

Fury turns, "You need to step away."

"Why shouldn't the guy let off a little steam?" Tony  puts his arm around Steve.

"You know damn well why! Back off!"

They face each other, "Oh, I'm starting to want you to make me."

"Big man in a suit of armor. Take that off, what are you?" Steve asks.

"Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist."

"I know guys with none of that worth ten of you. Yeah, I've seen the footage. The only thing you really fight for is yourself. You're not the guy to make the sacrifice play, to lay down on a wire and let the other guy crawl over you." Steve mutters.

"I think I would just cut the wire."

Steve looks at us and smiles, "Always a way out... You know, you may not be a threat, but you better stop pretending to be a hero."

"A hero? Like you? You're a lab rat, Rogers. Everything special about you came out of a bottle!"

"Put on the suit, let's go a few rounds." Steve nods.

Thor starts to laugh, "You people are so petty... and tiny."

Tony rubs his head and moves away from Steve.

"Yeah, this is a team..." Banner nods.

Fury turns, "Agent Romanoff, would you escort Dr.Banner back to his..."

"Where? You rented my room." Banner interrupts.

"The cell was just in case..."

"In case you needed to kill me, but you can't! I know! I tried! I got low. I didn't see an end, so I put a bullet in my mouth and the other guy spit it out! So I moved on. I focused on helping other people. I was good, until you dragged me back into this freak show and put everyone here at risk!" Bruce raises his voice.
Suddenly he picks up the scepter. "You wanna know my secret, Agent Romanoff? You wanna know how I stay calm?"

"Doctor Banner... put down the scepter." Steve says.

We look over as a computer beeps, "Got it." Tony nods.

Banner puts down the scepter and walks over to the computer.
"Sorry, kids. You don't get to see my little party trick after all."

"Located the Tesseract?" I ask.

"I can get there faster." Tony nods.

Steve sighs, "Look, all of us..."

"The Tesseract belongs on Asgard, no human is a match for it." I raise my voice.

Tony turns to leave, but Steve stops him. "You're not going alone!"

"You gonna stop me?"

"Put on the suit, let's find out." Steve nods.

"I'm not afraid to hit an old man."

Steve steps forward, "Put on the suit."

I look back at Banner as he looks up in shock, "Oh, my God!"


Suddenly we were all thrown back by an explosion.




I wake up to Thor shaking me. I cough as he pulls me to my feet. I look up at Thor as we hear a loud roar. I hold my hand out and my sword flies into my hand as I leap out the lab window, down below a level. Thor follows behind as I run through the destroyed hull of the ship. Thor points and dives into a room. My eyes widen as he tackles a huge green monster into the next room.

I kneel down to Natasha and softly touch her face, "Natasha...are you alright?" She was shaking. "I won't let him hurt you."

I fly into the next room as Thor fights with Banner. I put my sword away and slide under him, jumping into his back and choking him.

He flips me off of him, I slide against the floor. I fly over as he tries to punch a man, I grab onto his fist and hold it, he lifts me up as Thor jumps on his back. I kick his face and backflip off.

"Get out of here!" I yell to the others.


Thor tackles me down as a jet starts to shoot at Banner.



We split up, going through different halls.

I slide against the wall slowly as I hear people running around the corner. I take my sword out and dive around the corner, slicing at the soldier coming first. I hurl my sword, pinning one to the wall as I punch another, grabbing him and holding him against me as I hold my hand out. My sword flies to my hand, taking out the last one.


I climb up a small latter and unhook the latch, climbing outside to see a jet taking off with Loki in it.



I quickly fly up above the clouds...staying out of sight.
