Angel On Fire

Chapter 2 - Those Left Behind

Thor storms into the tower in the middle of meeting anger and rage on his face. "Where is (Name)?" He yells out making the rooms occupants all look around at each other in confusion. "I will not ask again, where is my sister?"

"Woah, what's going on?" Steve asks as he rounds the corner the commotion catching his attention.

"(Name) is missing," Thor adds as his brother walks in behind him with anger in his eyes. "Where is my sister?"

"I don't know, she didn't come in for her mission for the last few days. I thought she was just taking some time off after..." Steve trails off his brow furrowing in concern.

"After what?" Loki asks moving to stand between Steve and his brother.

"After her and Bucky ended things." Steve concludes taking Loki in surprise.

"Why would she do that? She loves the poor fool." Loki adds making Thor radiate with anger as he starts to put the pieces together.

"What did your friend do to my sister, Rogers?" Thor roars making Bucky walk into the room followed closely behind by Natasha.

"What's going on out here?" Natasha asks making Thor stomp over to Bucky and reaching up shove him into the wall and hold him there.

"You, what did you do to (Name)?" Thor inquires making Bucky's face turn sad.

"We broke up Thor." Bucky replies his brow furrowed as he lets Thor hold him against the wall even though it was painful. "Didn't she tell you. She tells the two of you everything."

"(Name)'s missing Buck." Steve interjects making Bucky's face fill with concern.

"You don't think Hydra-"

"No, we cannot find her anywhere on this Earth. We have already searched." Loki adds as he walks over to pull his brother away from Bucky.

"What do you mean not on this Earth?" Steve asks glancing from his friend back to Loki.

"Exactly what I said. There is no trace of her here on Earth nor anywhere in our solar system."

"Are you saying she just vanished into thin air?" Natasha asks making Loki scowl at her.

"In a matter of speaking, yes." Loki replies.

"Then why come here looking for her if you already knew she was gone?" Natasha questions making Loki roll his eyes as he points to his older brother.

"This one thought that her boyfriend might have some inclination as to where she was; but seeing as the two of them are no longer together, I'd say our trip was wasted. Come Thor, we have one more place to check." Loki concludes grabbing his brothers arm and pulling him away from Bucky and back toward the door.

"Where are you going?" Steve asks making Loki stop in his tracks.

"Why do you care?" Loki sneers making Steve fold his arms over his chest.

"Because she's still my friend and I am worried about her."

"Some friend you are, you didn't even know she was missing, and she works with you." Loki adds making Steve look down at his feet. "We've been looking for her since she didn't return home from his house. What were you all doing?" Loki looks from Steve to Bucky who couldn't meet their gaze. "Don't worry about (Name), we'll find her ourselves." And with that the two of them were gone. Steve lets out a heavy sigh as he realizes that they were right. What kind of friend had he been to her?

"So, what are we gonna do?" Natasha asks pulling both Steve and Bucky from their inner thoughts. "We have to find her. It's on us that she's been missing so long."
