Wife of Mischief (part 1 of the WoM series)

Chapter 12

Thor and Natasha walked into the room a few minutes later and I walked over to them, hoping maybe they could shut the others up. I was wrong.
"Did you know about this?" Dr. Banner turned to Natasha.
"You want to think about removing yourself from this environment Doctor?" she replied wearily, and I remembered that he turned into a monster if he became angry. That was not something I wanted to be caught up in!
"I was in Calcutta. I was pretty well removed," he sneered.
"Loki is manipulating you-"
"And you've been doing what exactly?"
I stared at the two with wide eyes when I realized what Loki had warned me about. He was going to manipulate Bruce to get him to become a monster which would somehow help him escape! I had to get to him and convince him to stop, it would only get him in even more trouble!
"You didn't come here because I bat my eyelashes," Natasha continued.
"Yeah but I'm not leaving because suddenly you get a little bit twitchy. And how do we know we can trust her too," Bruce pointed at me accusingly, "She's been hanging out with the freak a lot how do we know she's not with him?"
"Hey I've been trying to to break up your petty fights!"
"Yeah, leave (y/n) out of this, alright? She's done nothing but try to help us." I smiled gratefully at Tony for helping me out.
"I'd like to know why SHIELD is using the tesseract to make weapons of mass destruction!" Bruce continued, moving on from his accusation. Nick Fury glared at Dr. Banner and pointed at Thor.
"Because of him."
"Me?" Thor asked, clearly confused.
"Thor?" I was just as confused.
"Last year Earth had a visitor from another planet who had a grudge match that leveled a small town," a look of guilt flashed in Thor's eyes, "We learned that not only are we not alone, but we are hopelessly, hilariously outgunned."
Thor quickly became tense and began defending his home, "My people want nothing but peace with your planet!"
"But you're the not only people out there are you?" Nick continued, "And you're not the only threat.
"The world's filling up with people who can't be matched. Who can't be controlled."
"Like you controlled the cube?" Steve interrupted again.
Thor spoke up too, "Your work with the tesseract is what drew Loki to it, and his allies," I stared at Thor wide eyed as I realized that Loki's attack in Germany was part of a bigger plan, "It is a signal to all the realms that Earth is ready for a higher form of war."
Now it was Steve's turn to be confused, "A higher form?"
Director Fury interrupted him before he could continue though, "You forced our hand, we had to come up with some-"
"Nuclear deterrent," Tony sneered, "Because that always calms everything right down."
Director Fury whipped around to face him and glared at the billionaire, "Remind me again how you made your fortune stock?"
Soon the entire team began bickering and arguing with each other, accusing the other of knowing something or being a traitor. I tried to stop them but I quickly realized I was going to lose my voice before I could! If I couldn't stop them from fighting, maybe I'd be able to get to Loki and stop him myself since everyone that I previously thought capable of dealing with him had proved quite the opposite.
