Instead of landing where Thor and Tony were fighting, Cassie landed on the cliff where the mystery woman and Loki were.

"Looks like we have company," Loki muttered to the woman who was holding him by the throat. The woman turned around and looked Cassie up and down.

"We're not giving Loki over," The woman said calmly. "He will come with us and face Asgardian justice."

Cassie shrugged. "No can do, I have to get him to my boss otherwise I'm gonna be in trouble. Sorry about that."

The woman's eyes softened but once again looked Cassie up and down. She sighed, "I'm terribly sorry Cassandra. I wish it didn't have to come to this."

Cassie was confused until the woman began to attack her. Cassie ducked just in time to miss the woman's punch. Then the blonde hooked her foot behind the brunettes, ultimately causing her to fall over.

"Who the hell are you?" Cassie asked, looking down at the woman.

She smirked. "The name's Loralie, you're not the only old person around here Cassandra. Oh yes, that's right, I know who you are. I know you're the youngest child of the Mikaelson family, also known as the first vampires to ever walk the earth. I know you helped Captain America in World War Two and that you fell in love with Bucky Barnes. I also know that you're missing 50 years of your life. I know this because we've met before."

Cassie was speechless. Sure, 'Loralie' could have read the World War Two stuff in the Smithsonian but the 50 years part? Only Cassie, Klaus, Elijah and Astrid knew about that. 

Loralie took Cassie's moment of weakness to her advantage and used her magic from her hands to push Cassie off the cliff. It didn't kill her, but it hurt like a bitch. Eventually Cassie learned that Steve, Thor and Tony had come to and agreement so Loralie, Loki and Thor had no other choice but to accompany them back to base.

Everyone sat around the table watching Fury speak to Loki through the monitors. Loralie and Thor were very calm given they were forced to come to base.

"Incase it's unclear," Fury began through the screen, "if you try to escape, if you so much as scratch that glass," Fury pressed a button which opened up a hole where the cage could be dropped. "30,000 feet straight down in a steel trap. You get how that works?...Ant. Boot."

Loki just chuckled at him. "It's an impressive cage. Not built, I think, for me."

Cassie awkwardly looked up at Bruce.

"Built for something a lot stronger than you," Fury told him with no emotion.

"Oh, I've heard," Loki looked right into the camera. "A mindless beast. Makes play he's still a man. How desperate are you, that you call on such lost creatures to defend you?"

"How desperate am I?" Fury asked in an unusually dark tone. "You threaten my world with war. You steal a force you can't hope to control. You talk about peace and kill because it's fun. You have made me very desperate. You might not be glad that you did."

"Ooh, it burns you to have come so close," Loki teased. "To have the Tesseract. To have power, unlimited power. And for what? A warm light for all mankind to share. And then to be reminded what real power is."

Silence, for a few seconds.

"Well let me know if 'real power' wants a magazine or something," Fury called out as he walked away.

Everyone around the table just looked up awkwardly. Cassie broke the silence, "well that was...interesting, to say the least."

"He really grows on you doesn't he?" Bruce said nervously, keeping his arms crossed.
