Love is Death

Part 7: What Kind of Team Are We?

I was in the hall walking when I bumped into Natasha

Why are you in a rush? I asked

Follow me. She said and I followed her we walked in a room with Thor who is Loki's brother

I was wrong director. The world hasn't changed a bit. Steve said

Did you know about this? Bruce asked Natasha

You want to think about removing yourself for this environment, doctor? Natasha asked him

I was in Calcutta. I was pretty well removed.

Loki is manipulating you. Natasha said as she walked closer to him

And you've been doing what, exactly? Banner asked

You didn't come here because I bat my eyelashes at you. Natasha said and she got closer to him

Yes, and I'm not leaving because suddenly you get a little twitchy. I'd like to know why S.H.I.E.L.D. is using the Tesseract to build weapons of mass destruction. Banner said

Because of him. Nick said pointing at Thor and I laughed a little

Me? Thor asked

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. Nick added

My people want nothing but peace with your planet. Thor said and I walked over to my Natasha

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, that can't be controlled. Nick said

Like you controlled the cube? Rogers asked

Your work with the tesseract is what drew Loki to it, and his allies. It is a signal to all the realms that the Earth is ready for a higher form of war. Thor said

A higher form? Rogers asked

You forced our hand. We had to come up with something. Nick said

A nuclear deterrent. Because that always calms everything right down. Stark said

Remind me again how you made your fortune, Stark. Nick said

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

Wait. wait. Hold on. How is this now about me? Stark asked

I'm sorry isn't everything? Steve asked

I thought humans were more involved than this. Thor said

Excuse me, did we come to your planet and blow stuff up? Nick asked

Then everyone except me Started arguing

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

Where? You rented my room. Banner said

The cell was just in case...

In case you needed to kill me. But you can't. I know, I tried. Banner said and I rolled my eyes

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. You want to know my secret, agent Romanoff? You want to know how I stay calm? Banner said and grabbed the scepter I got up and got in front of Natasha

Dr. Banner put down the scepter. Steve said

Then the computer beeped and Banner put the scepter down and walked over to it

Then the next thing I remember is something exploded me, Natasha and banner was thrown through a glass and we fell

I passed out for a second
