Cheshire

Chapter Twelve

"What exactly are you wearing?" Fury asked Cheshire as she sashayed down the halls of the hellicarrier.

"A dress." She replies simply. Fury narrowed his eye at her and stayed silent. As they turned the corner towards Banner's lab, Cheshire giddily ran over to the man and pulled him away from the Chitari Scepter.

"Cheshire what-?!" Quick as lightening, she forced the Doctor's hands around her waist.

"See? Bruce loves the dress~" She said. Said man was as red as a tomato at the sight of her beautiful woman's dress.

"It's lovely." He murmured, embarrassed. Fury scoffs and exits the room swiftly, leaving the two of them alone.

"Ahh~ Alone at last." Cheshire purrs. Banner coughs awkwardly as she leans towards the table with the scepter, pushing her lower half against his. "So, what does this do?" She asks, reaching out to touch it. Banner quickly wraps his arm around her waist and , forcing the rest of her body to touch his.


"Please...don't touch that." He says. Cheshire smirks and with a loud sigh, she leans fully against the panicked doctor. Their attention is soon drawn by the dozens of S.H.I.E.L.D. police who are escorting a bruised but still smiling, Loki down towards the detention section. As they pass the Helicarrier Lab, Loki stares at the scandalously dressed Cheshire in Banner's arms and frowns slightly before nodding and smiling again. With a sigh, Banner hands his head into the crook of Cheshire's neck.

"Shh, hush Brusie. Everything will be fine." She turns around and wraps her arms around him. Banner sighs once more, but this time it's a content one. The two of them sway back and forth slightly as to attempt to calm the tense

Later, Banner and Cheshire enter the main room where everyone else are watching Fury and Loki on a large screen. He's free from his cuffs, but contained in a big ass cell made from glass and held by hydraulic rigs.

"What are you wearing?" Natasha asks suspiciously. Cheshire grins and twirls around, causing most of the male population in the room to either blush or gawk at the sight of her long, tan legs.

"A dress." She replies. "You'd think you'd know what one is Tasha." Natasha rolls her eyes and turns back towards the screen. Cheshire smiles sweetly at Steve and Thor before grabbing Banner's hand and pulling him towards another screen.

"In case it's unclear. You try to escape. You so much as scratch that glass." Fury pauses to press a button that opens up a hatch beneath Loki's cell. Loki peers as much as he can from the glass.

"Damn." Cheshire cackles. Everyone looks at her. "Even the sound of the wind should make him shit his pants...Not a god I guess." Banner chuckles beside her, while everyone else ignores the comment.

"Thirty thousand feet, straight down in a steel trap. You get how that works?!" Fury then closes the hatch and points to Loki.

"Ant." Then points to the button that would drop Loki like a side hoe.

"Boot." Loki smirks at Fury.

"It's an impressive cage. Not built, I think, for me."

"Built for something a lot stronger than you." Fury replies.

"Oh, I've heard." Loki looks into the camera. The others watch on the monitor Loki getting interrogated. But Banner looks at the monitor, intently. Cheshire frowns slightly before squeezing his hand.

"The mindless beast, makes play he's still a man. How desperate are you, that you call upon such lost creatures to defend you?"

"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. And you antagonize one of my most dangerous agents. How many times did she drop you off that cliff? I'm warning you, Cheshire is not one to be trifled with."

Everyone in the room turns to look at Cheshire, who shrugs.

"What? He shot me."

"Ooh. It burns you to come so close. To have the Tesseract, to have power, unlimited power. And for what? A warm light for all mankind to share, and then to be reminded what real power is." Fury smiles

"Well, you let me know if Real Power wants a magazine or something." He replies before walking off leaving Loki in his glass cell. Loki looks back at the camera, and smirks.

In the briefing room, Steve watches until the monitor goes black. Thor, who didn't even look, and just listened, stands there, torn apart. They all just stand there in stunned silence. Until finally--

"He really grows on you, doesn't he?" Banner says.

"What a douchbag." Cheshire says right after, wrapping her arms around the doctor's waist and resting her head on his back. Bruce clears his throat but doesn't move.

"Loki's gonna drag this out. So, Thor, what's his play?" Cheshire's eyes brighten at the sound of the God's name and she smirks.

"Yes, oh Mighty Thor, what is his play?" Thor stares at her for a moment, thoughts rushing back to the forest. He shakes his head and turns towards everyone.

"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."

"An army? From outer space?" Steve asks incredulously.

"So he's building another portal. That's what he needs Erik Selvig for." Banner states. With a hum, the woman behind him slowly begins to trail her hands down his chest. Bruce clears his throat and grabs her hands as they reach his navel.

"Selvig?" Thor asks.

"He's an astrophysicist."

"He's a friend."

"Loki has him under some kind of spell." Cheshire states. Her eyes narrow dangerously at the floor. "Along with something that belongs to me." Natasha glares at her and stands up.

"He isn't yours!" She shouts. Everyone stares at the two women.

"Well we've had a LOT of hot steamy sex, so he's pretty much mine." Cheshire replies tauntingly. Bruce tightens his hold on Cheshire's hands possessively as Natasha glares fiercely at her before storming out of the room. "Touchy, touchy." Cheshire mumbles.

"I wanna know why Loki let us take him. He's not leading an army from here." Steve states, breaking the silence.

"I don't think we should be focusing on Loki. That guy's brain is a bag full of cats, you could smell crazy on him." Banner replies.

"Have care how you speak. Loki is beyond reason, but he is of Asgard, and he's my brother."

"He killed eighty people in two days, not to mention shot me and knocked me out." Thor pauses, no excuse for his brother's crimes.

"He's adopted."

"Iridium, what did they need the Iridium for?" Banner mumbles.

"It's a stabilizing agent." Tony says, walking into the room. Coulson enters behind him.

"I'll fly you there. Keep the love alive. Means the portal won't collapse on itself, like it did at SHIELD." Coulson answers Banners thoughts. Tony smirks and walks towards Thor.

"No hard feelings, Point Break. You've got a mean swing. Also, it means the portal can open as wide, and stay open as long, as Loki wants." Cheshire leans up and kisses Bruce's neck before pulling away and walking towards the billionaire.

"Hey there, kitty cat." Tony smirks as she licks her lips and wraps a leg around his.

"Meow." Cheshire kisses Tony's nose while discreetly grabbing a button size hacking implant from his hand. Lust flashes across his eyes as he pulls her closer and inhales her scent. Looking over Stark's shoulder, Cheshire smirks as Steve, Thor, and Bruce tense up, jealousy filling their eyes.

"Uh, raise the mid-mast, ship the top sails." Cheshire sashays away from Tony and places her hands on the desk pretending to look out the massive windows. She places the device under the desk without anyone knowing and smirks before pointing at one of the agents below.

"That man is playing GALAGA!" She shouts. "Thought we wouldn't notice. But we did." Tony looks at her and she winks. He grins before placing a hand over his right eye and spins around.

"How does Fury do this?" He asks skeptically.

"He turns." Maria Hill replies.

"Well, that sounds exhausting. The rest of the raw materials, Agent Barton can get his hands on pretty easily. Only major component he still needs is a power source. A high-energy density, something to kick start the cube."

"When did you become an expert in thermonuclear astrophysics?" Maria inquires. Cheshire rolls her eyes and sits on one of the desks, crossing her ankles.

"Last night. The packet, Selvig's notes, the Extraction Theory papers. Am I the only one who did the reading?" Tony replies, cockiness within his voice. Everyone stares at him and Cheshire laughs.

"I guess you had some pretty serious motivation."

"Of course, who doesn't like pigtails and plaid skirts?" One of the agents chokes on his drink, spewing coffee across his keyboard.

"Easy there, Professor." Cheshire's eyes dilate as she begins to move forward but Steve's voice stops her.

"Does Loki need any particular kind of power source?" Stave asks.

"He's got to heat the cube to a hundred and twenty million Kelvin just to break through the Coulomb barrier." Banner answers.

"Unless, Selvig has figured out how to stabilize the quantum tunneling effect." Tony points out.

"Well, if he could do that he could achieve Heavy Ion Fusion at any reactor on the planet."

"Finally, someone who speaks English."

"Is that what just happened?" Steve asks. Cheshire scoffs and hops down from the platform.

"Don't worry Cap, he does this all the time." She states. Tony and Banner shake hands. A glimmer in their eyes shines as the mutual respect for each other shows.

"It's good to meet you, Dr. Banner. You're work on anti-electron collisions is unparalleled. And I'm a huge fan of the way you lose control and turn into an enormous green rage monster." Banner looks down.

"Thanks."

"Dr. Banner is only here to track the cube. I was hoping you might join him." Fury says as he enters the room. Cheshire smirks as an idea comes to mind.

"Let's start with that stick of his. It may be magical, but it works an awful lot like a HYDRA weapon." Steve declares.

"I don't know about that, but it is powered by the cube. And I'd like to know how Loki used it to turn two of the sharpest men I know into his personal flying monkeys."

"Monkeys? I do not understand." Thor says, confused.

"I do! I understood that reference." Steve says excitingly. Tony rolls his eyes, while Cap looks proud of himself. Cheshire looks to Fury and smiles, mischief surrounds her like a smoke.

"Are we still on for dinner tonight darling?" The room becomes silent as Fury looks her up and down before smirking.

"Of course." Shock spreads through the people within the room as Cheshire's smile grows and she hops up to kiss the man's cheek.

"I'll see you at six love." Before grabbing Tony and Bruce's hand and leading them out of the room.

"You, You and-" Tony starts.

"Oh hush Stark." She leads Banner back towards his lab and stops Tony before he can enter. "Nope, you and I have something to take care of." Cheshire purrs, dragging him towards a room.

"Wha-?" Cheshire pushes him onto a bed and unzips her dress, pulling it over her head.


"Shall we play, Professor?" Cheshire asks teasingly
