The Avengers (minus Hawkeye) were sitting at the table watching Loki and Fury's little conversation. I could see them as I walked down a hallway. After providing enough evidence and quotes, Maria was finally convinced that the tesseract had opened a portal and that Casey and I had fallen through it. Maria then proposed that I help with the search for Casey. I was more worried for Casey than I cared to admit, I mean she is in a whole 'nother universe! I try to think positive as I walk in to the room. I just stand off to the side. I can't believe it, I am in the same room as the Avengers! I smile and focus on not fangirling. This is a serious case and the fangirling can wait. I watched on as they had a discussion.
"Loki's going to drag this out, so Thor, what's his play?" Steve asked Thor.
My head snapped up and I replied for him, "He has an army that consists of chitauri. They will rage war on the earth in return for the tesseract. Loki is currently attempting to make a portal big enough for the army to come through." They all face me as I say this.
"You must be the girl that everyone's been talking about, Sam right?" I nodded to Natasha. "What else can you tell us about Loki?"
"His base is underground, that's why it's taking so long to track him. Barton is safe. Loki has lots of people working for him, not just SHIELD agents." I replied. I couldn't say too much because I might stuff up the order of events and wreck everything.
"So he's building another portal. That's what he needs Erik Selvig for." Banner stated bring the subject back on track.
Thor looked concerned, "Selvig?"
"He's an astrophysicist"
"He's a friend."
"Loki has him under some kind of spell, along with one of ours." Natasha said. I knew she was thinking about Clint.
"I want to know why Loki let us take him. He's not leading an army from here. Sam, care to fill us in?" Steve asked me.
"Umm." I thought for a bit. I couldn't say too much. So instead I decided to steal Bruce's' line "I don't think we should be focusing on Loki. That guy's brain is a bag full of cats, you could smell crazy on him." Bruce knew that I quoted him and he smiled at me from across the room.
"I don't care how you speak. Loki is beyond reason, but he is of Asgard, and he's my brother." Thor replied to me.
"He killed eighty people in two days." Natasha replied, defending me.
"He's adopted." Even though I've heard this at least 100 times, I couldn't help but laugh under my breath.
Bruce brought the conversation back on track, "Iridium, what did they need the Iridium for?" And… queue Tony… now!
Just as I predicted in my mind, Tony Stark walked through the door after talking with Phil.
"It's a stabilizing agent. Means the portal won't collapse on itself, like it did at SHIELD." He said as he walked around the table. There was no point in me listening to this again I thought. My thoughts wandered to the whereabouts of Casey. If she was in Manhattan, she would have seen the tower and is probably freaking out…
I looked up to see Tony place the button sized hacking implant under one of the many tables, I looked up at him and he smirked at me.
"The rest of the raw materials, Agent Barton can get his hands on pretty easily. Only major component he still needs is a power source. A high energy density, something to kick start the cube." He said clicking
"When did you become an expert in thermonuclear astrophysics?" Maria asked sceptically.
"Last night. The packet, Selvig's notes, the Extraction Theory papers. Am I the only one who did the reading?" He asked us all.
Steve brought the subject back on track, "Does Loki need any particular kind of power source?"
Bruce looked up and replied "He got to heat the cube to a hundred and twenty million Kelvin just to break through the Coulomb barrier."
"Unless, Selvig has figured out how to stabilize the quantum tunnelling effect." I responded, stealing Tony's line.
"Well, if he could do that he could achieve Heavy Ion Fusion at any reactor on the planet." Tony put in, "Finally, people who speak English."
"Is that what just happened?" Steve muttered.
As Tony was meeting Bruce a hand tapped my shoulder, I spun around to see none other than Natasha standing there.
"You want to introduce yourself?"
I turned to see everyone looking at me.
"For some reason I got everyone's files- except yours." Tony said from where he was across the room.
"Well, that's because I wasn't supposed to be here. While Loki and his people were messing around with the tesseract, it opened another portal. One end was in my universe, where all of you are fictional characters. My best friend Cassandra and I fell through it and she is also somewhere in this universe. My name is Samantha –But I prefer Sam- Forte. I am 16, and from Australia." I rambled
"You can help find the tesseract if you want. Do you know much about it?" Bruce asked me
I nodded enthusiastically, "I probably know more than you."
"Let's start with that stick of his It may be magical, but it works an awful lot like a HYDRA weapon." Steve quipped
At this moment, Director Fury walked in, "I don't know about that, but it is powered by the cube. And I'd like to know how Loki used it to turn two of the sharpest men I know into his personal flying monkeys."
Thor looked confused, "Monkeys? I do not understand."
"I do!" Steve said enthusiastically while Tony rolled his eyes. " I understood that reference."
Tony turned to Bruce "Shall we play, doctor?"
"Let's play some."
"I'll catch up, I just got to do something…"I said before they walked off.
I wanted to see if Loki knows anything about where Casey is.
What's going to happen next? Does Loki know where she is? Will they ever meet again? Where are these powers I talked about in the description? Find out next time! Please follow, favourite and review!
