After having shown Steve his new suit and collecting her own, Katerina returns to the bridge, standing around, observing silently. After a while, she watches Coulson enter with Steve, probably discussing Coulson's trading cards. She lets a wry smile appear on her face momentarily before it returns to its neutral expression. The peace is broken when an agent sat at one of the many computers, Agent Sitwell she believes his name to be, calls out "We got a hit. Sixty-seven percent match. wait, cross match, seventy-nine percent" She perks up immediately.
"Location?" Coulson asks in response.
"Stuttgart, Germany. 28, Konigstrasse. He's not exactly hiding" Sitwell responds.
"So he's not hiding, probably being a distraction for a further purpose. Great" Katerina murmurs to herself.
"Captain, you're up. Agent Raven, I want you to stay here for now" Fury orders.
Steve wordlessly nods and walks out, leaving a confused Katerina watching Fury.
"Agent Raven, I understand your confusion, but I don't want to reveal your involvement in this to Loki. Hence why you aren't being sent out. Got it?" He says, turning so that his one eye is facing Katerina.
"Yes, Director" She responds tonelessly.
She stands around on the bridge, waiting for the others to return, which they do, a while later. Loki is immediately escorted to the detention level with a group of heavily armed guards. She strolls over to the briefing room where she had been informed that Natasha, Steve, Bruce and two newcomers, Thor, the God of thunder, and Tony Stark, the egotistical billionare, had all gathered.
She walks in, making a beeline towards Natasha, ignoring the wolfwhistle from Tony and gawks from Steve and Bruce at seeing her in her new uniform, a dark blue leather suit with a matching cloak, mask and hood, as well as a katana scabbard on her back and two pistol holsters on her waist, and a knife holster on her lower right thigh. Oh, and the metal wings on the back of the suit, partially hidden by the cloak. She smiles slightly as she sees the expression of mild surprise on Natasha's face at her new appearance.
"New outfit?" Natasha questions with a slight curve at the edges of her lips.
Katerina shrugs "Coulson's idea, apparently. He has good taste, the wings work too"
"Definitely an improvement on the old ones. That thing was hideous" Natasha agrees before turning back to the monitor on the screen.
"... For what? A warm light for all mankind to share, and then to be reminded what real power is" Katerina catches as Loki rants in his cell whilst Fury stands on the other side of the glass, his posture relaxed and untroubled.
Fury smiles slightly "Well, you let me know if Real Power wants a magazine or something" before walking off. Katerina grimaces slightly as Loki looks directly at the camera in his cell, smirking.
The briefing room remains silent as the monitor turns black. Everyone stands still in what can only be described as stunned silence, which is suddenly broken by Bruce "He really grows on you, doesn't he?"
Steve immediately gets to business "Loki's gonna drag this out. So, Thor, what's his play?"
Thor zones back in, his eyes focusing on Steve "He has an army called the Chitauri. They're not of Asgard or any world known. He means to lead them against your people. They will win him the earth. In return, I suspect, for the Tesseract"
"An army? From outer space?" Steve asks seriously.
"So he's building another portal. That's what he needs Erik Selvig for" Bruce states.
