After saying Dr. Banner was only there to locate the cube, Fury began to address the Avengers, or at least the 'would-be' Avengers.
"Since Loki has under his control both agent Barton and Dr. Selvig, he has probably gotten a lot of information. Or at least all the information they know."
Fury then tapped the table's electronic screen to send each of them a copy of the file that was one of S.H.E.I.L.D's most confidential files. Showing up in front of everyone at the table, from Steve to even Thor, was the file of a young woman with blond, shoulder length hair and blue eyes.
"This is Mrs. Myra Pan. The widow of Brendan Pan, a flight technician and engineer, she had a double major in both psychology and musical theater. Shortly after the birth of their only child who is 18 months old now, Daniel, Myra was diagnosed with an untreatable disease that would eventually end her life. Myra had a close who was trying to help her find a cure, Benji Tanner, who worked with incurable diseases." Fury looked at each of them, from Bruce, to Tony, then Steve, Thor, and Natasha. Then he continued, "As it turns out tigers were completely immune to the disease and they tried using tiger blood but then there had been an X-ray machine that exploded. The explosion killed Tanner and changed Pan, her son was 9 months old at the time."
"How was she changed?" Agent Hill from off on the side asked, arms crossed. Even she didn't know,
"Her physical appearance has been altered and since the incident she has also acquired both telepathic and telekinetic abilities. Agent Coulson is bringing her up from the holding cell we have here because of the ground base having imploded on itself."
Just then Agent Phil Coulson walked in escorting a woman who looked like she came right out of 'Cats' the musical, she looked like a human/tiger hybrid, from the stripes and colors to even having a 4 foot long tail, in her file it also said her nails acted like retractable claws. Growing long and short as she willed them, but other than that she was perfectly normal, even her eyes were still the same, granted yes her teeth were slightly sharper.
"Fury," Myra growled out, literally growled. She was wearing a white, tank top, turtleneck, catsuit and combat boots. The Avengers stared, eyes wide. Tony, who was never without a comment or remark, was left speechless and floundering.
"Pan," Fury said calmly, "Mr. Stark, would you mind picking your jaw up off the floor." Myra said with a smirk, Tony closed his jaw.
"Where is my son Fury, when will I see him?" she spat as she turned back to Fury, arms crossed.
"Once you can get the information we need from a prisoner here on board the hellicarrier. Your son is with your parents who are with your brother and his family in Wisconsin."
He replied. Myra's face contorted in anger, which made her look terrifying. "Nine months Fury. You kept me in that cell for nine months! And tested me to the point of exhaustion, but that isn't even the end of it. Imagine yourself Fury, in an 8ft tall glass case and chained to the floor as the tank fills with water and in order for the water to drain you have to break the chains as you run out of air!"
Myra shouted in Fury's face, looking him square in the eye, and then she began again.
"But you had put me through torture far more painful than that… The only reason I look like this is because I wanted to live long enough to watch my son grow up." She then took a step back from Fury, her eyes filling with tears.
"Look, we can setup a video communication system and you'll be able to talk to your family and see your son." He told her and then started speaking again, "Agent Romanoff, will you escort Mrs. Pan to where the prisoner is being held."
"Not many people can sneak up on me." Loki said to Agent Romanoff, "I'm only here to escort her," she nodded toward Myra who stood in front of the other side of the cell. Loki turned around and saw the tiger lady, arching an eyebrow he looked at her.
"Leave us," she said. Her voice was low and she was staring him down, "Now we can do this the easy way, where you can just tell me the information I want to hear," Myra began as she walked around the circular cell to the door of it. Standing before the door she continued, "Or we can do it the hard way. Where I take apart your mind piece by piece."
A pause, "I will most definitely not comply to the, as you had put it, easy way." Loki said with a smirk. Myra straightened her stance and brought her hands up on either side of her head, eyes closed.
"Well, you've made your choice," she cleared her mind and quickly opened her eyes, they were cloudy and she stared right into Loki's eyes. Myra's mind met Loki's mental barriers, and taking him with her, was rebounded into her own barriers and they shattered. The force of the mental impact sent her physical form to the floor.
Loki began to see bits and pieces of the tiger lady's memories, a man with brown curly hair and brown eyes, a mortal wedding, silhouetted figures making love, the man spinning a blond woman around in the air, the blond woman was now seemingly pregnant excitedly beckoning the man to her side. Smiling she placed his hand on her stomach, she laugh at his surprised smile. Then the memories shifted to a mortal place of healing, the blond woman was now obviously in labor and the man stood by her side, holding her hand and brushing a hand across her sweaty brow. Finally the man and the woman sat together on the bed, holding their child. There was another shift and the woman was in the bed alone, looking anguished.
Her husband was killed in a car accident and it was likely that she would not be able to live long enough to watch her child grow.
Then the memories were only coming in short flashes, she was gaining her bearings. Loki saw a funeral, an explosion, the tiger woman holding a child, a glass case filling with water. And then he was forcefully thrown from her mind. His eyes cleared to see her scrambling to her feet, panting as she did. She glared at him and spoke, "How dare you," Loki remained passive but his curiosity was now ignited and he watched as she spun on her heal and Agent Romanoff entered the room.
Loki would learn more about this woman later, but at the moment he had more pressing matters to deal with.
