''I'm sorry, you want to do what?''
''Dance a jig. What do you think Steve, I said I'd volunteer.''
''Lady Maria, you do understand what you are volunteering for?''
''I volunteered to be makeshift psychologist for our prisioner.''
''Our prisioner is my brother.''
''Oh I know.'' She replied getting up from her sofa, where a few minutes ago she had been sprawled across regally. ''That just makes it more interesting.''
''You're sure?'' Clint asked from his perch on the fridge. She smiled before responding ''I'm immune to magic and mind control, I'll be fine. Besides my talents will tell me if he can be helped.''
''Your talents?'' Clint asked, still perched on the fridge.
''If I look someone in the eye I can see their true self. Their personality, psyche, everything. Unless I focus I'll forget most of it mind you. So I'm going to focus really hard so I don't forget anything.''
''You want to subject yourself to that?''
''If there's a chance he can join us, I will take that chance. Regardless of consequences.''
''Suit yourself Sloth-girl.'' Tony shouted from some other room.
''Oh shut up sleepless one.'' She shouted back. Smirking she made her way down to Loki's containment cell, focusing her energy on her powers and humming the tune to the Overlord opening.

Loki looked up at his new visitor expecting to see a S.H.I.E.L.D agent or an avenger.
Instead he saw a seemingly normal midgardian, chocolate brown hair resting around her upper neck, a pale freckled face with relaxed blue eyes.
However she felt a bit different, like she was holding back something far more powerful. She pulled up a chair in front of his cell and smiled slightly. He noticed that she was wearing a black S.H.I.E.L.D shirt and black trousers. ''Another S.H.I.E.L.D agent?'' he asked trying to sound like he had the situation under control.
''Think again. Ex-S.H.I.E.L.D agent for the record.'' she responded politely looking him in the eye. ''I'm Maria Doyle by the way. A pleasure to meet you Loki.''
''I take it you read your files that S.H.I.E.L.D. obviously gave you.''
''Quite the contrary. I do have the files, but I have yet to read them. They're just kinda lying under my bed waiting to be updated in case I get amnesia.''
''Oh.'' he managed to reply ''Interesting use.''
Somehow they managed to have a polite discussion for half an hour before Maria brought up midgardian books.
''So have you ever read Harry Potter?'' she asked trying to find common ground without bringing up Thanos's mind control.
''Harry Potter?" he repeated, clearly confused.
"Okay I'm bringing over Harry Potter and the philosophers stone tomorrow."
"You're coming back?"
"You have never read Harry Potter. Ergo I am going to bring over books for you to read, and we might be able to discuss them. Any objections?"
Detecting a nearly unnoticeable shake of the head by the God, she smiled.
"I'll see if I can bring it over in a few hours. In the meantime here." she said handing him a copy of 'The many sides of war by Tyki Mikk' through the small slit in his cell door for food.
"It's a pretty good book to pass the time with. And now if, you'll excuse me, I shall see you later.''
Loki looked at his dissappearing visitor wondering whether she would return. She seemed like a fun way to pass the time, and she had given him a book, which she would no doubt want back. At least his imprisonment wouldn't be too boring.

"So nothing bad happened?" Tony asked with a mouthful of pizza shoved in his mouth.
"Firstly stop taking with your mouth full Tony. Secondly nothing bad happened. We just chatted."
"You're sure he's not a threat?" Natasha questioned.
"Yes I'm certain."
