Infinity

Smart?

We are all currently sitting or standing around the glass table inside of the helicarrier. Well, almost all of us, a certain billionaire seems to be missing.

I am sitting in the seat that is between Steve and Bruce, eyes closed, silently banging my head on the back of my chair. I feel a hand being placed between my head and my chair, stopping my head. I open my eyes to see that Natasha has put her hand behind my head. I give her a confused look and she points at the table with a free hand, just in time for screens to appear in front of our seats.

I lean forward, allowing Natasha to have her hand back in the process. She gives me a small smile and I roll my eyes.

The screen shows Loki inside a glass cage, giving Fury a grin. Fury walks over to the control panel, with a smile on his face.

"In case it's unclear. You try to escape. You so much as scratch that glass." Fury says, pushing a button that opens up a hatch underneath Loki's cell. Loki walks to the glass, looking down to see the hole in the ship.

"Thirty thousand feet, straight down in a steel trap. You get how that works?!" Fury asks Loki, pointing at him. "Ant." Fury says, then turns to point at the button that would drop Loki in his glass prison. "Boot." Fury finishes, giving Loki another slight smile.

"It's an impressive cage. Not built, I think, for me." Loki states, giving Fury another smirk.

"Built for things a lot stronger than you." Fury says, causing me to look over to Bruce, then taking note that they are looking back at Bruce, then casting a look at me.

"Oh, I've heard." Loki says, looking at the camera. "The mindless beast, makes play he's still a man. The Lady of Space, one of six. How desperate are you, that you call upon such lost creatures to defend you?" Loki asks, causing everyone to look again at the screen, then back at us.

I tilt my head to the side, running my temple. The beast has to be Bruce, but what the hell is the Lady of Space? One of six? Six what?

"How desperate am I? You threaten my world with war. You steal a force you can't hope to control. You talk about peace and you kill 'cause it's fun. You have made me very desperate. You might not be glad that you did." Fury says, causing Loki to smile again, looking at Fury, then the camera.

"Ooh. It burns you to come so close. To have the Tesseract, to have power, unlimited power. To actually have met the one woman who has total control over that power. And for what? A warm light for all mankind to share, and then to be reminded what real power is.

   " Well, you let me know if Real Power wants a magazine or something." Fury says, walking off with a small smile across his face.

   Loki on the other hand, looks at the camera and smiles, causing me to look away.

The screens go black, making Steve look around at everyone. I look over to see Thor with a pained expression slide across his face.

" He really grows on you, doesn't he?" Bruce asks, looking around the room.

"Yeah. Like an itch that won't go away." I mutter, looking down at my black boots.

"Loki's gonna drag this out. So, Thor, what's his play?" Steve asks Thor with a serious look on his face.

"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." Thor replies, finally joining reality.

"Wait. In return for the Tesseract? Who wants it? Why do they want it? Apparently someone didn't read their emails. The tesseract is mine." I say with a slight growl, leaning on the table.
