Thor, Hawkeye, Wanda, Loki, Eliza, and I will be going to New Mexico to rescue Jane Foster while Steve, Bucky, Nat, Peter, Stark, and Sam will be going to Arizona to take care of the Chitauri.

After Mr. Phil drops us off in front a small town diner Thor leads us inside where he is immediately hugged by a lady I assume is Jane Foster. Her friend introduces herself as Darcy.

"I am Beth, she's my cousin ELiza." I say gesturing to Eliza as we take seats at the table with Darcy, glancing over my shoulder Thor and Clint seem to be having a serious discussion while Loki and Wanda stand awkwardly nearby. Loki leaves them to their discussion taking a seat next to Darcy.

"Hey! You're Loki!" She shouts to the deserted diner. She pulls out a taser and shocks him. He looks, shocked, ha-ha bad pun. He looks pained and his skin flashes a frosty blue before reverting to normal. The others look over at us, I wave, "We're fine, Loki just had a little run in with a taser is all. To be fair he totally deserved it."

"The tiny lightning machine?" Thor asks.

"Well that's one way to look at it I suppose."

"Ah, carry on then." They resume their conversation.

"So was what Loki did really that bad?" I ask, no one has real told me what happened just that there were aliens and a battle. Darcy looks at me bug eyed.

"Eric says he killed eighty people in his first two days. That's not counting the actual alien invasion." Darcy says. I stand up and try to punch Loki, I'm across the table diagonally and can't reach him.

"Everything alright over there?" Clint raises an eyebrow over his coffee.

"Just having a friendly discussion about New York." I grin trying to look as innocent as possible. Clint thinks for a moment, "You may continue, just clean up after yourselves, okay? Oh and don't do any permanent damage we might need him alive."

"Of course." I grin, Darcy cracks her knuckles smirking at Loki, Eliza yawns and looks bored but her fingers are slowly reaching towards her glass of water. Then as if on a silent signal we all pounce. Darcy has a nice right hook and Eliza tips her water onto his head. He just glares out from his wet black hair clinging to his face. He turns invisible. I use the water still in his hair and shirt to track him, I slowly start to heat up the water and then when it reaches room temperature I am able to tint it green providing an outline of his upper body, the water seems harder to manipulate, more reluctant to obey. "I don' feee-eeel goood, my ma-aagiiiic huurts."

"Beth? Beth!" Eliza grabs my shoulder as I start to tip over, I blink up at her and focus in on her face as everything blurs. Clint comes to stand next to her, "What happened?"

Eliza puts her hand to my forehead, "It's not good. Take the plane and meet the others, I will contact Peter."

Loki studies us carefully and then grabs onto Eliza's arm as she touches a pendant on her necklace. The world fades away and I feel that funny sinking feeling in my gut; I'm in a portal. Eliza activated it and Loki got himself sucked in.
