"That's what she said"

Tony flew into the base, entering a room full of men. While getting shot at he spoke, "Guys, stop. We gotta talk this through." His suit shot at the men knocking them all down. "It was a good talk."

"No it wasn't." One of the agents had groaned out from the floor.

Outside Natasha had been watching the Iron Legions surround agents. "We're locked down out here."

"Then get to Banner, time for a lullaby." Steve told Nat, as Angel and him made their way through the bases.

Hulk was throwing rubble, making a mess of the woods. Natasha had carefully approached him, going through their lullaby routine. Angel was another way to get him out of Hulk form, but Natasha was closer, and Steve needed her with him.

Natasha had grown fond of the teenager, but she had grown even more fond of her father, and he grew fond of Natasha. Angelina's parents, Betty and Bruce, had split up after the gamma situation, she wasn't able to deal with the blowups he would have, no matter how much love she held in her heart for him, she couldn't be around it for her own mental health. He understood, and the two were able to co-parent well, harboring no ill feelings towards one another.

Angel and Steve had stopped Strucker as he came up the stairs towards them. "Baron Strucker. HYDRA's number one thug." Steve moved in closer, Angel staying behind, her hands glowing yellow.

Strucker spoke, "Technically, I'm a thug for SHIELD." His eyes glanced towards Angel, focusing on the glow surrounding her hands. "Well, sorry to break it to you, but you'd technically be unemployed." Angel had cut in, beating Steve's response time.

"Where's Loki's scepter?"

"Don't worry, I know when I'm beat." Strucker stood face to face with Steve, Looking at something behind them. "You'll mention how I cooperated, I hope."

Steve didn't like his statement too much, "I'll put it right under "illegal human experimentation". How many are there?" Steve kept his eyes straight, Angelina's eyes darting everywhere except right behind her.

A dark haired girl showed up, a red aura coming from her hands knocked Steve and Angelina down. While Angelina rolled down the stairs she shot a blast from her hands, successfully hitting the girl. She ran out of the room, using her mind to close the doors behind her. The two had landed on their feet, running up the steps. "We have a second enhanced. Female. Do not engage."

"Do you ever use contractions? Or were they like, not a thing when you were young?" Angel had tossed the small comment out quickly, it had barely gone noticed.

Strucker started to speak, "You'll have to be faster than-" his sentence was cut off by Cap hitting him with his shield, effectively knocking him to the ground.

"Guys, I got Strucker." Steve was heard over the coms. "Yeah, I've got something bigger."

Angelina giggled, muttering a "that's what she said" under her breath. Tony chuckled and Steve sighed.

"Thor, I got eyes on the prize." Tony spoke through the coms, Thor listening intently. The coms went silent after he spoke the first time, everyone wondering what he would say next, not knowing the enhanced girl had warped his mind, making him see the team, the teenage brunette included, lying dead or on the verge of death, right before his eyes.

The vision ended and the silver haired enhanced had showed up next to the girl, leaving a blue blur behind him. He went to move forward but the girl stopped him. "We're just gonna let him take it?" His thick accent was evident in his voice as he spoke. Tony put his suit hand on and grabbed the blue scepter, making his way out of the base.

AN: bit of a shorter chapter but it's really difficult to figure out stopping points for each chapter! I'm starting to get really proud of this fic and I promise to try and get chapters out daily <3
