Agent Aly Masters stood next to Maria Hill as they waited for Natasha to bring in Dr. Bruce Banner and Captain Steve Rogers. They heard the distinct murmur coming towards them.
Turning around, Agent Masters caught sight of the guests, two men who looked very out of place. She nodded at Natasha and enveloped her in a hug. Natasha had been extremely worried about Agent Clint Barton, who had been compromised. Aly was too. He treated her like his little sister and always protected her.
"We'll get him back," Aly whispered in the fiery redhead's ear. Natasha nodded and backed out of the younger agent's arms as Director Fury stalked into the room.
"Agent Masters, go introduce yourself to our guests and show Dr. Banner to his lab," Fury barked. Aly gave a curt nod and walked over to the two men.
"Dr. Banner, Captain Rogers, I'm Agent Masters. But you can call me Aly. Thanks for coming," she smiled, shaking both of their hands briefly.
One of the many monitors beeped, capturing their attention. Aly walked over to it and bent over to observe it. She saw Loki's face, along with a location. "Fury!" she yelled, very aware that Steve and Bruce were watching her with curiosity. "You might want to see this."
He made his way over to the monitor. "Germany? He isn't exactly hiding," he replied.
"No, he isn't," Aly agreed. "What's the plan, Fury?" Her agent mode was kicking in.
He looked at her, thinking. "Show Dr. Banner to his lab and we'll let you know when you, Rogers, and Agent Romanoff are going to retrieve our little friend here," Fury replied. Aly nodded.
"Right this way Dr. Banner," she said leading him out the door and down the hall.
"If you don't mind me asking, how old are you? And you can call me Bruce," he spoke.
"Turned 16 a few months ago," she muttered. Bruce's eyes widened. "Yeah I know. But when you have a past like mine, you'll do anything to forget it."
He decided to drop the topic and they continued in silence. As soon as they reached the door, Aly heard a voice in her earpiece. "Agent Masters, we're ready for you."
She let out a deep breath. "Sorry Bruce, but I'm off to Germany," Aly said, dryly chuckling.
"Good luck," he offered before she waved and sprinted off, tapping her earpiece and responding.
She made her way to the quin-jet, where Steve and Natasha were waiting. Aly grabbed a gun from Natasha and put it on her belt. They boarded the jet in silence and Natasha strapped herself into the pilot's seat. Steve and Aly sat across from each other.
"Aly, think you and Rogers can handle this guy?" Natasha questioned from the front. Aly and Steve looked at each other.
"Hope so, Nat," Aly spoke nervously. She had read Loki's file and she was intimidated by him. Steve smiled reassuringly at the young agent.
"If you don't mind me asking, ma'am, how-" Steve began before Aly cut him off.
"-How old am I?" Aly finished and Steve nodded. "Sixteen." She sighed. His eyes widened but he kept quiet.
"You guys ready?" Natasha yelled, opening the hatch. They nodded and stepped out.
The pair spotted Loki, commanding a group of people. Steve and Aly looked at each other and immediately they were launched into battle. Aly shot at Loki and got his attention turned to her. He blasted her with his scepter and she flew backward. She rolled and jumped back up. Steve was busy getting people away from Loki, so Aly kept fighting. He went in toward her heart with his scepter but she kicked him so he stumbled. Loki charged toward her and was about to blast her again when Steve jumped in front of her with his shield and blocked it. Soon, they were fighting again. Steve was busy fighting Loki so he didn't notice when he blasted Aly. She flew backwards and landed hard on the ground. She groaned in pain. Her lip was split and her back hurt.
"You alright?" Steve yelled but she couldn't answer him.
All of a sudden, AC/DC was heard blaring through the jet's loud speaker. "Miss me?" Tony Stark was heard.
Aly was struggling to stay awake from the pain so she didn't hear what happened next. Steve and Tony finished the fight and Loki surrendered. Tony turned and noticed Aly on the ground. He remembered seeing her around when Natasha was working undercover and knew how good of a fighter she was. He ran over to her and flipped up his face mask, while Steve got Loki on the quinnjet.
"Jesus, kid. You alright?" he asked the young agent. She nodded lightly. Tony could tell that Aly was in pain so he gently scooped her up and brought her to the jet. She was laid down across a few seats.
"Aly, you okay?" Natasha asked, worriedly.
She groaned again before answering, "Yeah."
Loki looked at her, worried. He didn't know she was so young.
Soon, they were up in the air and flying again. Thunder was soon heard overhead and lightning was visible. Loki tensed up.
"Scared of a little lightening?" Steve inquired.
"I'm not overly find of what follows," Loki responded looking around. All of a sudden a large bang was heard and the hatch opened. Thor was standing on it and he snatched his brother. They flew out of the jet and a silence passed between the people still in the jet.
"What the hell?" Aly asked sitting up.
"You should lay down," Tony said before flipping his face mask down. "Let's go get this bastard."
"Stark?" Steve said incredulously. "We need a plan of attack!"
"I have a plan. Attack," he said, flying out of the jet. Steve started putting a parachute on.
"I'd sit this one out, Cap. These guys come from legend. They're basically gods," Natasha spoke.
"There's only one god, ma'am. And I'm pretty sure he doesn't dress like that," Steve replied as he jumped out of the jet.
