"Miss Staves, It is likely that Director Fury is going to try and get your attention in a moment."

"Thanks, T." Regina sighed, pulling a headphone out as she sat up, taking her feet from the table. The Smiths continued to play in her ears as Fury did indeed turn around to address her, Steve and Bruce. "Gentlemen. Staves." He greeted, walking towards the table. Steve, as he passed him to walk forward, took some money from his pocket and handed it to Fury. Regina suppressed a smile as she saw how old the bill was, and Fury sighed before pocketing it and turning to Bruce.

"Doctor, thank you for coming." He said, shaking his hand.

Bruce looked at his hand a moment before shaking it. "Thanks for asking nicely." He said. "So, uh, how long am I staying?"

"Until we get the Tesseract from our intergalactic theater nerd." Regina spoke up with a grin.

Bruce gave her an amused smile, but Furyu barely even acknowledged what she'd said before he elaborated on it. "Once we get out hands on the Tesseract, you're in the wind."

Bruce nodded, putting his hands in his pocket as he walked forward. "Where are you at with that?" He asked. Regina stood, walking over to join them.

"We're sweeping every wirelessly accessible camera on the planet." Coulson said. "Cell phones, laptops, if it's connected to a satellite, it's eyes and ears for us."

"That's still not gunna find them in time." Natasha spoke up.

"You have to narrow your field." Bruce said. "How many spectrometers do you have access to?"

"How many are there?" Fury asked, crossing his arms. Regina smiled as Bruce took off his jacket, noting it as him getting into the zone. "Call every lab you know. Tell them to put the spectrometers on the roof, and calibrate them for Gamma rays. I'll rough out a tracking algorithm, basic cluster recognition. At least we could rule out a few places." Fury nodded along, listening to his every word. "Do you have somewhere for me to work?"

"Yeah!" Regina interrupted Fury as he was about to speak. "It's got everything you'd need, and some. Proper cool, if you ask me." She said, and Bruce smiled as he nodded along to her words, even if he did look a little out of place beside her enthusiasm.

"Agent Romanoff, could you show Doctor Banner to his laboratory, please? And make sure Regina doesn't talk his ear off. We might need those." Fury requested, giving Regina a pointed look as he did so.

Natasha nodded as she walked over, smirking at the betrayed expression on Reginas face for a brief moment. "You're gunna love it, Doc. We got all the toys." She said. Regina brightened, walking a bit faster to walk on the other side of Bruce. "Don't worry about her, she gets easier to zone out after a while."

"Now, wait a damn minute-"
