Barton walks quickly alone down the catwalk. Agents' voices are heard all around him. Noticing someone behind him, he grabs an arrow and positions his bow to aim at Natasha, causing her to duck as they begin to fight.



"Daughter of the Man of Iron," Thor suddenly states as he looks directly at her, causing her to tilt her head in confusion. "Are we not on the same side?"

Antonia is confused, though deep inside, she feels like she knows what he's talking about. She looks at Loki, who shakes his head at her. In response, she turns back to Thor and shrugs.

Thor slams Mjolnir onto the glass of the cell in an attempt to break free, causing her to jump. It only cracks a little, but the ship shakes violently. Loki stands there with Antonia, shielding her as much as he can while keeping his hand in hers, his guard still at the ready.

Loki starts laughing and urges Antonia to walk with him toward the control panel.

"The humans think us immortal," he states to Thor before turning to Antonia, who is grinning up at him. "Should we test that, darling?" he begins pressing buttons.

Suddenly, the guards fall, and standing behind Loki is Agent Coulson, pointing a weapon toward him. Loki pulls Antonia behind him, though his mind tells him to use her as a hostage to get what he wants. He knows she might even be into it.

"Move away, please," Agent Coulson states as politely as possible, causing Antonia to look at him from behind Loki and coo at how adorable he is. But Loki pushes her back in annoyance. He starts backing away from the switch, keeping Antonia behind him, while Thor watches them.

"You like this?" Agent Coulson continues, pointing at Loki. "We started working on the prototype after you sent the Destroyer."

Antonia feels like something bad is about to happen. She whispers, "No!" with tears in her eyes. Thor watches her closely, and Loki tightens his grip on her, though it doesn't feel like he's completely there. Coulson gives her a concerned look.

"Even I don't know what it does. Do you want to find out?" Agent Coulson asks as he powers it up, only for Loki to suddenly appear behind him with the scepter and impale him in the chest. Coulson groans.

Antonia gasps, her eyes wide, losing all control over herself as she falls to the ground and cries.

"No!" Thor yells, hitting the glass.

As Loki pulls the scepter out, the Loki next to Antonia disappears. Coulson is sent flying against the wall, sliding down it heavily, breathing with wide eyes.

Thor looks pained, like he wants to murder his brother.

Loki makes his way toward the control panel but stops in front of Antonia to help her up. She glares at him, tears running down her face, and backs away from him. He roughly grabs her, but she shoves him away.

"What did you do?" she softly whispers, searching his eyes for an ounce of guilt. Sadly for her, she won't find any. The God of Lies isn't in his right mind. Inside, he's reaching out to her, but on the outside, he's stoic.

"WHAT DID YOU DO?" she yells, pushing him aside before running to Coulson, leaving Loki to stare at her in pain and jealousy. To him, she has chosen a side, and it isn't his.

She quickly takes off her blazer, leaving her in her bra. Loki looks on in anger, remembering that only he was supposed to see her body. He watches as she rips her blazer and applies the ripped pieces to Coulson's wounds, trying to stop the bleeding. Loki's anger simmers.
