Daylight broke through the clouds. The sun shined through the window. Steve went into the storage room at the bottom of the Helicarrier and found some Hydra weapons from the Second World War. In the lab, Jessie and Tony were sitting on one of the tables looking at the screen with Bruce. Nick walked in.
“What are you doing, Mr. Stark? Ms. Evans?” he asked walking toward the three scientists.
“Uh, kind of been wondering the same thing about you,” Tony said in response.
“You’re supposed to be locating the Tesseract.”
“We are,” Bruce spoke, “The model’s locked and we’re sweeping through the signature right now. When we get a hit, we’ll have the location within half a mile.”
“Yeah, then you get your Cube back,” Tony said. “No muss, no fuss.” The screen beeped and said Phase 2. Jessie and Tony turned their attention to it.
“What is ‘Phase 2’?” Jessie asked. Steve walked in and set a Hydra gun on a table.
“Phase 2 is that S.H.I.E.L.D. uses the Cube to make weapons,” Steve spoke in an angry tone of voice. “Sorry, computer was moving a little slow for me.”
“Rogers, we gathered everything related to the Tesseract,” Nick said walking toward Steve as Jessie got off of the table she was sitting on. “This does not mean-”
“I’m sorry, Nick,” Jessie said cutting him off. She turned the screen toward him and Steve showing them plans for weapons. “What were you lying?”
“I was wrong Director,” Steve said. “The world hasn’t changed a bit.”
“Did you know about this?” Bruce asked Natasha as she and Thor walked into the room.
“You wanna think about removing yourself from this environment, Doctor?” Natasha asked.
“I was in Calcutta. I was pretty well removed.”
“Loki is manipulating you.”
“And you’ve been doing what exactly?”
“You didn’t come here because I bat my eyelashes at you.”
“Yes, and I’m not leaving because suddenly you get a little twitchy.”
“Too twitchy,” Jessie whispered as she walked over to stand next to Steve.
“I’d like to know why S.H.I.E.L.D. Is using the Tesseract to build weapons of mass destruction,” Bruce spoke again, pointing to the screen Jessie had turned toward Nick. Tony was now standing over by Jessie and Steve.
“Because of him,” Nick replied pointing to Thor who was taken aback by the statement.
“Me?” Thor asked.
“Last year, Earth had a visitor from another planet who had a grudge match that leveled a small town. We learned that not only are we not alone, but we are hopelessly, hilariously, outgunned.”
“My people want nothing but peace with your planet.”
“But you’re not the only people out there, are you? And you’re not the only threat. The world’s filling up with people who can’t be matched, that can’t be controlled.”
“Like you control the Cube,” Steve accused. Jessie put a hand on his arm sensing he was getting upset with Nick’s words.
“Your work with the Tesseract is what drew Loki to it, and his allies,” Thor said to Nick. “It is a signal to all the realms that the Earth is ready for a higher form of war.”
