The nine Avengers stood in front of the defeated Loki. Tony was in no mood to give the God his drink which was offered before the fighting began.

"Alright. Get him onto his feet. We can stand around posing up a storm later." Tony said with his helmet off.

AJ smirked under his mask as he flipped his rifle into it's place on his back and lifted the God of Mischief to his feet.

Natasha still held the scepter in her hands and spoke. "Who get the, uh, magic wand?"

"S.T.R.I.K.E. team's coming to secure it." Steve answered.

The elevator nearby opened, and Agent Sitwell walked in with Brock Rumlow and his team. They all looked at AJ and Becca and AJ heard their heartbeats pick up as they glared back to them. AJ saw the beads of sweat that were coming off of all of their heads as they all looked nervous.

"We can take that off your hands." Sitwell said when he regained his composure. He walked up to the female agent. She handed the scepter to the man.

"By all means." 

Sitwell handed the scepter to Rumlow who placed the staff in a special briefcase. AJ was eyeing them carefully as something felt off about them but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"Want a drink?" Becca asked holding a glass of bourbon out to him which he took and continued to watch the S.T.R.I.K.E. team carefully.

"Careful with that thing." Yelena warned Rumlow.

"Yeah, unless you want your mind erased. And not in a fun way." Clint remarked as he took a drink from his glass.

"We promise to be careful." Rumlow replied then looked at Yelena. "So, do I get to take you out on a date yet?" He asked as AJ clenched his fist and narrowed his eyes as he scowled behind his mask.

"Nope." Yelena replied rejecting the man who looked stunned. "I already got a date." She replied and glanced at AJ without Rumlow noticing.

"What?" He asked in denial. "With who?" He demanded.

"That's none of your business." Natasha butted in. "Now get a move on." Natasha said to the man as he sulked away.

When the Strike team was gone, AJ finally took off his mask and helmet and downed his drink then took an entire bottle and downed it making everyone look at the young man surprised.

"What?" He asked. "We can't physically get drunk."

"Let's go you two." Cap said to his friends then spoke into his comma. "Shadow, Taskmaster, and I are on our way down to coordinate search and rescue."

Loki, who was now handcuffed, chose this moment to have fun amidst his impending arrest. He transformed into Captain Rogers and imitated him.

"On our way down to coordinate search and rescue."

He reverted back into himself and laughed. "I mean, honestly, how do you keep your food down?"
