She hates herself for losing control, praying no one learned of her fiasco. But Director Nick Fury learned.

Unfortunately, Loki has also been staying at Stark Tower, as Thor wasn't able to return him home. (this is an au where Loki slowly becomes integrated into the Avengers, like in the comic book series, The Young Avengers) Is she just as bad as Loki? Will Samantha be able to stomach being near the man who killed almost half of Manhattan? Or will her temper get the best of her?
