The Avengers were sitting in the meeting room in Stark Tower, waiting for their last member to arrive and begin the meeting: Steve. He was the one who decided to call a meeting on such short notice. No doubt, it had something to do with (y/n).

Steve eventually walks into the room, and sits at the head of the table. "I think you all know what this meeting is about."

"Our mystery woman, no doubt," Clint says from his seat.

"It seems the maiden has many secrets that she does not wish to share," Thor chimes in.

"We'll just have to keep her here until she talks," Natasha says, casually. "She'll give in eventually."

"That's actually why I called you all here."

All eyes turn to the Captain.

"About getting her to tell us about herself?" Bruce asks.

"That and what we're going to do with her. We don't know how long she's going to be here, so I think we should have some idea on what to do while we wait," Steve answers.

"There are many ways of making one confess," Loki smirks, leaning back in his chair.

"Don't get any ideas, Loki," Natasha narrows her eyes. "We're not using mind control on her like you did with Clint."

"I suggested no such thing. Without my scepter, I have no hope of controlling the Midgardian as efficiently as I did with your precious Barton. A shame. (Y/n) probably would've made a fine puppet," the mischievous god smirked. "Maybe as good as Agent Barton."

"And yet, look at who's the puppet now!" Natasha says, making a comeback. "Looks as if you can't have your fun anymore, Loki. You're under SHIELD's control now. And we all know that if you cross the line, you'll be executed back in Asgard. Looks as if the 'great' Loki has fallen."

"You should learn to hold your tongue, you insolent-"

"That's enough!" Steve interjects, gaining everyone's attention. "This is not the time to be arguing amongst ourselves. There is a woman in the cell, in this tower, who is possibly from another planet and possess great powers. She may or may not be the one we're looking for, but bickering will get us nowhere nor bring us any closer to finding out who she really is."

"He's right," Bruce nods. "We won't get anything done at this rate. So let's stop arguing and begin the meeting."

The SHIELD agent and god of mischief say nothing, showing their acknowledgment.

"So? You got any good ideas on how we'll get little miss (y/n) to spill the beans, Steve?" Tony asks, leaning back in his chair.

"One," the captain nods. "I think we should try and gain her trust; get onto her good side. Showing acts of kindness may or may not lead to her eventually telling us about herself. It will take time, but I think it's better than trying to force it out of her and result in her viewing us as the enemy."

"That's all good and well, but there's a problem with your idea," Tony points out. "She already sees us as such, since we just locked her up in a cell."

"That's where the acts of kindness come in," Steve says. "I say we modify one of your guestrooms for her to stay in, and make it so she can't escape yet live comfortably. Like Loki was back in his cell in Asgard, as Thor explained to us."

"I can build something like that, but it'll probably take a while," Tony nods. "But with Bruce's help, it'll go by a lot faster."

"Might as well pitch in and help out," Bruce says.

"Good. Now that that's settled, we should decide on what to do with her while she stays here," Clint says.

"Perhaps she should could live amongst us," Thor suggests. "Get to know us better. You could all teach her your Midgardian ways, offer her PopTarts."

"At least one person will have to stay with her though if we do that," Natasha points out. "We can't have her trying to escape."

"And will JARVIS and the security be enough to keep an eye on her?" Clint brings up.

"Do you doubt the efficiency of my tower's security?" Tony says.

"Loki managed to get inside the tower," Natasha says.

"That was before the tower was finished!" Tony says.

"Still, I think we should have someone keep an eye on her at all times, just in case," Clint says. "While we're asleep or away, at least."

"I will keep an eye on the maiden," Loki says. "It's not as if I get any sleep anyway, with Thor's ridiculously loud snoring."

All eyes turn to Loki, somewhat suspicious. Was the god of mischief up to something? But they knew he wasn't lying about Thor's snoring. They've all heard him snoring at least once. And if Loki was up to something, they had JARVIS watching him, who would notify them if anything seemed off.

"Has someone taken a shine to the mystery woman?" Tony smirks.

Loki scoffs. "As if I would be attracted to such an inferior!"

Steve ignores him and says, "Any objections to Loki keeping an eye on (y/n)?"

Silence.

"Alright. I think this meeting is about over. It's late, so we should get some sleep."

With that, everyone leaves the meeting room, unknowing of Loki's plans.

Once the others are all out of sight, the god of mischief smirks to himself and heads towards the elevator. The cogs and gears in his plan have already begun to turn.
