Is This More Than You Bargained For?

Wading into battle

I changed into a pair of black leggings, a flowy dark blue tank top, my black leather jacket and black combat boots. I pulled my hair out of my ponytail and ran my fingers through my hair. When I was done I grabbed my weapons and ran down to the jet that was waiting for us. There I met up with the Captain and Agent Romanoff.

"Where's your suit?" The Captain asked.

"I don't need one."

"You can't fight in that!"

"Watch me." I turned and walked onto the jet.

"Fury wouldn't allow that, he knows it wouldn't be safe, he knows-"

"He knows I don't use one because I don't want one and I can't have one so deal with it and let me fight my way." I shrugged off my jacket as we lifted up into the air and took off. I took a short stick out of my boot and started making shapes on my skin. As I did so it burned me and left black tattoos.

"What are those?" He asked.

"Their called runes. These are one of the reasons why I don't use a suit."

"How does that work? Why do they make a difference?"

"Each one gives me a special ability. There's strength, endurance, flexibility, courage in combat, healing, and many more."

He opened his mouth to say something but instead went silent until we reached Germany. When we we got there we landed on the roof of the building and watched Loki give his speech about world domination and how "we're always going the kneel" and blah blah blah. Then a brave old man stood up, "Not to men like you." He said.

"There are no men like me." Loki replied

"There will always be men like you." The man stated

"Look to your elder people, let him be an example."

Captain jumped off the roof and landed in front of man with his shield up just in time to deflect the blue blast that came from Loki's scepter. The blast came back and hit Loki square in the chest, sending him tumbling backwards.

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

"The soldier, the man out of time-"

"I'm not the one whose out of time."

A whooshing noise came from above me as the jet swung out in front of the building. A huge gun dropped out of the bottom and armed itself.

"Loki, drop the weapon and stand down." I heard Natasha's voice say over the speaker.

Then another blast of light shot out of Loki's scepter. I jumped off the building and onto his back. With my legs wrapped around his neck I jerked backwards, making him flip over top of me and onto the concrete. I rolled out just as he grabbed for my leg. I stood up and watched him get off the ground. Just as he was about to swing I dropped to the floor in push up position. A red and blue shield came flying in above me and hit home. Captain jumped over me and kicked him in the neck. Loki stumbled backwards but regained his footing as I came in charging. He tried to blast me but I ducked it. I came up and punched him in the gut then kneed him in the face when he doubled over. I grabbed his arm and flipped him over my body and he crashed down on his back. He flipped towards me and kicked me in face knocking me backwards. He stood over me with his staff pointed at my neck. He cocked his arm back, ready to strike, when he got side tackled by the Cap.

All of a sudden "Shoot to Thrill" by ACDC starts playing from the jet speakers.

"Agent Romanoff did you miss me?" I hear Tony's snarky voice say. He lands beside the Captain as I'm standing up. The Iron Man suit engages bullets, mini blasters and lasers of all kinds and aims them at Loki.

"Your move Reindeer Games."

Loki puts his hands up in surrender and Tony puts away all his weapons.

"Good move"

"Mr. Stark."

"Captain."

I grab Loki's hands and shove them behind his back. I force him to stand up and I start walking towards the plane.

Steve Rogers POV

I watched as she forced Loki onto the jet and disappear into its belly. I turned to walk that way when Stark grabbed my arm.

"Whose she?" He asked

"Agent Cal."

"When did she get here?"

"No idea, i only just meet her."

"Hey," we heard a female voice yell, "Hurry up!" It was Cal. We looked at each other and ran to the jet. As soon as we got on the door closed and we were up in the air.

After a while I walked up to Stark, "I don't like it."

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

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

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

"What?"

I watched as Cal got up and went to the bathroom with her phone in her hands, she looked really worried.

"It's like calisthenics, you might have missed a few things, you know, doing time as a Capsicle."

I paused at that comment. Why did he have to be so rude.

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

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

Moments later lightning flashes and thunder claps were going off all around us.

"Where did this come from?!" Natasha asked.

As more lightning flashed Loki leaned a little bit more into his seat and had a scared look on his face.

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

"I'm not overly fond of what comes after." He stated. Then a loud thump came from above the jet. Stark already had on his suit and was closing up the mask. He hit a button to make the loading door drop open.

"What are doing!" I yelled as a man lands on the door. He swings his hammer and punches it into Stark, sending him flying backwards and colliding with me. I hear the bathroom door open and someone yell "No!" as the other man grabs Loki by his neck and flys out of the jet.

"Now there's that guy." Stark says

"Another Asgardian?" Natasha asks

"You think he's friendly?"

"It doesn't matter, if he frees Loki or kills him the Tesseract is lost."

"Stark, we need a plan of attack!"

"I have a plan, attack." Stark says as he jumps out of the jet.

I run to grab two parachutes, one for me and one for Agent Cal.

"You might want to sit this one out Cap." Says Natasha

"I don't think I can."

I hand a parachute to Cal as I'm putting mine on.

"These guys come from legend, their basically gods."

"There's only one God, ma'am, and I'm pretty sure he doesn't dress like that."

I look up and notice Cal beside me without her parachute on.

"Come on! Put it on!" I yell

"Nah, where's the fun in that!" She says. Then she runs and jumps out of the plane.
