Loki walks back and forth inside his glass cell. Suddenly, he stops. "There's not many people that can sneak up on me." Loki says.

Loki turns to see Natasha standing there, her arms crossed, face passive. His eyes linger on her briefly before the move towards her shadow. Something or someone attached themselves to her.

Loki is quiet on that matter, intrigued.

"But you figured I'd come." Natasha says, curious on his brief silence. "After. After whatever tortures Fury can concoct, you would appear as a friend, as a balm. And I would cooperate." Loki says "I wanna know what you've done to Agent Barton." Natasha says

"I'd say I've expanded his mind." Loki says "And once you've won. Once you're king of the mountain. What happens to his mind?" Natasha ask

"Is this love, Agent Romanoff?" Loki ask "Love is for children. I owe him a debt." Natasha says

"Tell me." Loki ask sitting down.

Natasha pulls up a chair as well, her shadow moving slow behind her, almost to show him who was listening."Before I worked for SHIELD, I uh...well, I made a name for myself. I have a very specific skillset. I didn't care who I used it for, or on. I got on SHIELD's radar in a bad way. Agent Barton was sent to kill me, he made a different call." Natasha says

"And what will you do if I vow to spare him?" Loki ask "Not let you out." Natasha says

Loki laughs, leaning forward with a wicked grin.

"Ah, no. But I like this. Your world in the balance, and you bargain for one man?" Loki ask "Regimes fall every day. I tend not to weep over that, I'm Russian... or was." Natasha says

"What is it you want?" Loki ask "It's really not that complicated. I've got red in my ledger, I'd like to wipe it out." Natasha says

"Can you? Can you wipe out that much red? Drakov's daughter? São Paulo? The hospital fire? Barton told me everything. Your ledger is dripping, it's gushing red, and you think saving a man no more virtuous than yourself will change anything?" Loki asks

Standing; angry, "this is the basest sentimentality. This is a child at prayer... PATHETIC!" Loki yells 

Tony and Banner continuously work at their monitors.

"You lie and kill in the service of liars and killers." Loki says

Agent Hill checks every viewscreen in the bridge. Fury oversees.

"You pretend to be separate, to have your own code, something that makes up for the horrors. But they are a part of you, and they will never go away!" Loki says

Sloan stands in a empty corridor, eyes a pool of black. The hall was dark and clear of any light. His face was void of emotions, dark veins crept up his neck. Using his own shadow had a cost, eating at his soul, little by little.
