Miraculous: New Life

Chapter 8 | Loki

-Third Person-

        After the whole surprises outside the Helicarrier, Natasha urge the other three to enter the bridge. Steve, Banner and Marinette obliges and made their walk through the glorious, gleaming bridge before Steve position in front of the science console. Marinette,  obviously, the situation being still new to her, stared at the entire room with wide eyes. Right in front of them stood a huge glass window that views the clear sky and the ocean below. There were tables and computers everywhere where agents of all men and women, including agent Hill, walks around the place in a hurry while others sat in front of their computers and having an individual conversation-- or that's what Marinette thought, through their earpiece.

        Right at the center of the room stood a man who was slowly making his way towards the recruits, but will remained nameless to Marinette. He wore an all black outfit topped with a black leather coat. He's bald, has dark skin and has an eye patch on his left eyes. He has this a bit dark aura around him that could make Marinette cower in fear. And his eyes were like staring straight through her soul which could make her shiver. The man was known as Nick Fury, the director of SHIELD's agency. Not that Marinette would've known anyway, he still hasn't met the man.

        "Everyone." Fury called.

        Suddenly, Steve pulled out a ten bucks out of his pocket and gave it to Fury which confused Marinette as she gave both gentlemen a skeptical look.

        Fury took the money before walking towards Banner and extends his hand. The said man reluctantly shook hands with him before Fury shook hands with Marinette. "Doctor, Ladybug, thank you for coming." Fury nodded his head.

        He must be the boss. Marinette thought.

        "Its a pleasure." Marinette paused for a second before raising an eyebrow. "But, you know you can call me 'Marinette' right?"

        Fury nodded his head in respond.

        "Thank you for asking nicely." Banner gave a small smile. "So, uh. . . How long am I staying?" He asked nicely to which Marinette quickly reacted.

        Marinette clapped her hand in agreement towards Banner. "Yes, great question. How long are we staying here?" She raised an eyebrow at Fury who remain emotionless while staring back at her.

        "Cause you know, my mother just got finish with her Brain Tumor surgery, and I want to be there when she wakes up." Marinette added after noticing that others were staring at her, blushing in embarrassment. Natasha patted her shoulder with a small smile.

        "Once we get our hands on the Tesseract. You're in the clear."

        "Where are you with that?" Banner asked curiously as Fury turn his head at agent Coulson who stood below the railing and starts to explain while Natasha bends down on a near computer and narrowed her eyes on an image of a man-- Clint Barton plastered in the screen. Marinette gave the computer a glance before looking back at agent Coulson and Banner.

        "We're sweeping wirelessly accessible cameras on the planet. Cellphones, laptops, if it's connected to a satellite. It's eyes and ears for us." That explanation made Marinette look down at her phone in surprise and wonder.

        "That's still not gonna find them in time." Natasha stated with a firm line.

        That statement made Marinette look at Natasha before her gaze lingered down the computer with Barton's image on screen. In this time around, she wonder to herself how the hell did she end up in here. Everything happened so fast, she couldn't help but think that maybe Flash took her on a fast ride. She sigh out of sadness. If only Chat Noir was there beside her right now, she would feel at ease with everything.
