Norman's p.o.v.

Whythe hell did Astrid have to always get us in to trouble, why drag four or five other people in to something she started? She had always been the one to screw up and get fired, of course, we had to leave with her because we were her friends and now... now we were wanted people; S.H.I.E.L.D. would think nothing of trying to kill us!

But worst of all i wanted to know why she insisted on bringing Loki along with us! He was a super villain and therefore notorious for back stabbing and betraying his 'allies' every five seconds. To make matters worse, if we made it safely to the ground then we would have to blend in and Loki's face would not easily be forgotten by the majority of Earth's population anytime soon, despite the attack on New York having taken place a few years ago now. Daken's appearance was perhaps the biggest problem though, he had deathly pale white skin, purple eyes and the ears of an elf, how were we exactly going to hide that. Get him a hoodie? No, we only had about five dollars between us all made up of loose change from our pockets. It seemed that all of the odds were most definitely not in our favour. We had no chance of winning in this situation. If we ran we still couldn't escape S.H.I.E.L.D. we would be running forever... No. Even that was doubtful we'd run for a couple of days if we were lucky, then simply be tracked down and killed. Fury could tell people to search for us by searching every wirelessly accessible device on this planet to look for images and locate us in a matter of hours at most.

"Norman? You okay?" Amy asked looking back at me from the pilot's seat briefly.

"Am I... okay?" I repeated her words in a harsh tone, what kind of dumb question was that?

"Sorry, I was just asking. You could have been shot and kept quiet as usual and not told us, I was just concerned about you, after the stuff that's already happened today it wouldn't be an unlikely situation!" she snapped in reply.

"I know that I'm quiet but I would have told you if someone had shot me, I was just weighing up our chances of survival and, of course, they don't look good."

"We all know that" Loki interrupted rolling his eyes at me stating the obvious.

"You can shut up! We already hate you, don't give us anymore reasons to kill you because when you betray us, we definitely will." I warned.

"I am hurt to think you would expect me to do such a terrible thing" Loki said sarcastically and faking a look of shock.

Before I could retaliate Astrid's limbs started to twitch; she was still drugged up and it was probably making her see weird things. Loki and Daken watched her for a few seconds and then their attention drifted. It was only when her twitching turned into thrashing around in her seat that we realised something wasn't right. Daken, who had been sat next to her, got hit in the face repeatedly as he tried to pin down her uncontrollable arms. Loki and I forgot about our argument and rushed over to help him.

"What is going on back there?" Amy called back to us, still too busy to see for herself. She sounded worried.

"Er... Well Astrid is possibly having a seizure, but don't panic, just keep flying this aircraft and she'll be fine. We will all be fine." I said the last sentence more to myself than the others because I was yet to believe it myself.

"Is she really going to be okay?" Amy asked trying to remain calm.

"I honestly don't know." I answered as between us, we restrained her limbs so she was less of a danger to herself. Then I noticed that she had started to glow again, no, she wasn't fully glowing, she was flickering on and off like a light bulb connected to a faulty circuit.

"What is happening?" Asked Loki as his grip slipped and Astrid's foot hit his face for the third or fourth time.

"I think it's a seizure, maybe a bad reaction to that tranquilliser they used on her." I offered.

"What can we do?" Daken asked frantically.

"We have to just wait it out." I offered unsure of the full effect this was having on Astrid.

"Could today get any worse?!" I exclaimed. If there was a god, he sure hated us.

"I'm fairly certain that it's about to get much, much worse. Brace yourselves! i'm taking evasive action!" Amy squealed.

Before we could take any action i felt my balance shift as Loki, Daken and i slid backwards along the floor. Amy had pulled the aircraft down in to a nose dive to avoid an attack by some fighter pilots in their jets.

"Shit! I can't shake them off our tail in this stupid thing; it's way too slow to turn sharply!"

She yelled as one of the smaller missiles exploded on impact with the jet's wing.

"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!?!" Astrid shouted, now very much awake.

"I believe we are about to die... Again" Daken answered.

Just then we were all thrown off out feet as the aircraft took a hit on the left side.

Amy unbuckled her seat belt and slid towards us along the now sloping floor.

"What are you doing?" Loki demanded.

"I am about to grab a parachute and jump, I suggest you all do the same" she said with a side glance that held a small hint of evil somehow.

Although this worried me there was no time for me to bring her condition up in conversation.

Luckily there were at least five; one each.

We didn't have to worry about how we would climb up to the window, which was now up above us somewhere, and bail out because another two missiles hit us.

The first blew a hole in the back where we were stuck; ripped from the jet we were suddenly all sucked out in to the open sky. The second quickly followed the first and the whole jet exploded in to a fireball.

Luckily, the S.H.E.I.L.D pilots hadn't spotted the five of us tumbling down at great speed towards the ground.

I glanced briefly back up at the falling wreckage of the jet, we would probably be declared dead; there was no way anyone could have survived that crash. They had tried to make sure of it.

Maybe we did have a chance?

Or maybe it was just false hope...
