Love, Agent Delacroix

Gods

COCKPIT, QUINJET - NIGHT-

Natasha is piloting the plane. Loki is strapped down in the back of the plane. Brianna is in suit but her Mask has been discarded to her hip. Cap, in suit but no cowl, and Tony, in the suit but without the helmet, is standing behind the cockpit and they talking. "I don't like it."

"What? Rock of Ages giving up so easily?"

"I don't remember it being that easy. This guy packs a wallop."

"Still, you were pretty spry, for an older fellow. What's your thing? Pilates?" Tony retorts, Just like Howard would. I snort, and shake my head. "What?"

"It's like calisthenics. You might have missed a couple of things. Y'know, doing time as a Cap-sicle." Tony says with a smirk. I met Tony shortly after waking up. Turns out Howard often Talked about 'Aunt Brianna'. It was nice knowing my friend still thought of me, even hen i was gone. "Fury didn't tell us he was calling you in."

"Yeah, there's a lot of things Fury doesn't tell you." There's a flash of lightening and a roar of thunder. Natasha looks confused. "Where's this come from?" Loki leans forward, looking around. "What's the matter? Scared of a little lightening?" I ask.

"I'm not overly fond of what follows." Loki looks to the sky.

DARKENED STORMY SKIES - NIGHT-

There's a crash on top of the quinjet. Something as landed.

QUINJET - NIGHT-

Tony, Brianna, Steve, and Natasha look up. SHOCKED and JOLTED. There seems to be a shadowy figure holding onto the quinjet. We make it out -- this is THOR ODINSON, God of Thunder. He is serious. There's another flash of light.

Natasha speeds up. Steve runs for something, he grabs his cowl while Tony grabs his helmet which attaches itself to the suit. Tony pushes a button and opens the ramp of the jet. "What are you doing?"

Thor enters, jumping down on the ramp. He hits Iron Man away, causing him to fall on Cap. He grabs Loki by the neck and jumps out of the plane. "Now there's that guy."

"Another Asgardian?"

"That guy's a friendly."

"Doesn't matter. If he frees Loki, or kills him, the Tesseract's lost." Tony begins walking to the edge of the ramp. "Stark, we need a plan of attack."

"I have a plan. Attack!" Tony flies out of the jet and Cap makes for a parachute.

"I'd sit this one out, you two."

"I don't see how I can."

"These guys come from legend, they're basically Gods."

"There's only one God ma'am, and I'm pretty sure he doesn't dress like that." Cap straps on the chute, grabs his shield, and dives out the plane, head first. "I promised someone I'd look after Him." I put my mask back over my mouth and nose and grab a Chute.

CLIFF TOP - NIGHT-

Thor and Loki crash down on a cliff. Thor throws Loki to the ground, he groans.

"Where is the Tesseract?'

"Oh-ho, I missed you too."

"Do I look to be in a gaming mood?"

"Oh, you should thank me. With the Bifrost gone, how many dark energy did the All-Father have to muster to conjure you here? Your precious Earth." Thor drops his hammer, Mjolnir, and pulls Loki to his feet. "I thought you dead."

"Did you mourn?"

"We all did. Our father"

"Your father. He did tell you my true parentage, did he not?"

"We were raised together, we played together, we fought together. Do you remember none of that?"

"I remember a shadow, living in the shade of your greatness. I remember you tossing me into an abyss. I who was and should be king!"

"So you take the world I love as recompense for your imagined slights? No. The Earth is under my protection, Loki."

"Well yes."

"Then you miss the truth of ruling, brother. Throne would suit you ill." Loki pushes past Thor and walks away, Thor follows. "I've seen worlds you've never known about. I have grown, Odinson, in my exile. I have seen the true power of the Tesseract, and when I wield It"

"Who showed you this power? Who controls the would-be-king?"

"I am a king!"

"Not here. You give up the Tesseract; you give up this poisonous dream! You come home."

"I don't have it." Thor summons Mjolnir and holds it ready. "You need the Cube to bring me home but I've sent it off I know not where."

"You listen well brother-" Iron Man flies in, knocking him and Thor out of the way. Loki

stands waiting. "I'm listening?"

FOREST - NIGHT- SECONDS LATER-

Thor and Iron Man crash through the trees to the ground, Tony lifts his faceplate. "Do not touch me again."

"Then don't take my stuff."

"You have no idea what you're dealing with."

"Uh- Shakespeare in the park? Doth mother know you wear-th her drapes?"

"This is beyond you, metal man. Loki will face Asgardian justice."

"He gives up the Cube, he's all yours. Until then" Faceplate drops. "-stay out of the way."Iron Man takes a few steps. "Tourist." Thor throws Mjolnir, hitting Iron Man square in the chest, sending him flying, landing on his back. "Okay!"

Loki smirks from the cliff top as Thor summons Mjolnir then swings it in circles. Iron Man gets to his feet and fires a repulse blast at Thor, then flies at him, kicking him through a tree. Thor stands, summoning a bolt of lightning as Loki watches in the distance. Thor sends the bolt at Iron Man.

'Power at four hundred percent Capacity.'

"How bout that?" Iron Man fires at Thor. The two stand ready then fly at each other, smashing through the trees and scraping up a cliff side.

Trees are toppled as they crash to the forest grounds. Thor and Iron Man stand quickly. Thor sends in a left hook so Iron Man is about to punch but Thor grabs his fist. Iron Man is about to send in his left hook and Thor grabs that too. Thor begins to crush Iron Man's right gauntlet with ease. Tony looks at the HUD which is alerting him. He groans and thinks.

Iron Man lifts his palm, that is being crushed, and he fires a blast at Thor's face -- it does nothing to Thor so he head butts him. Thor headbutts him back. Iron Man flies back, coming to a stop before launching himself at Thor. Iron Man throws Thor into a broken tree. Thor then stands and the two go at it for a bit longer -- a fist fight. Thor summons his hammer about to slam down on the chest of Tony but Iron Man ditches, causing Thor to fall. Behind the rising Thor, Iron Man swoops in and punches him.

They get ready to sends blows at each other until Cap's shield ricochets off both their chest. "Hey!" Cap catches his shield. "That's enough!" He jumps down of the tree and approaches Thor and Iron Man. "Now I don't know what you plan on doing here"

"I've come here to put an end to Loki's schemes!"

"Then prove it. Put that hammer down."

"Uh, yeah! No! Bad call, he loves his hammer" Thor swings his hammer back, sending Iron Man behind him. I land behind Steve. Okay these boys wanna play stupid games their gonna win stupid prizes.

"You want me to put hammer down?" Thor leaps, swinging Mjolnir, Cap raises the shield over his head. My hand streches out, purple electricty leaving my palm. When the three connect there is a loud boom and a flash of light. The four men are thrown backwards. They slowly get to their feet and come together.

"Are we done here?" I hold out a sparking hand. Thor looks around.
