Authors note:
Well, here's the second chapter. Big thanks to Buckitty and Jotunheim Storm for your reviews. In case any of you you were wondering, I purposely spelled Loki's name Lokey. It is like a key, like the key of C. Just thought I'd point that out. Enjoy!
"This is not how I wanted the evening to go." A man named Georgi Luchkov muttered in Russian. His tall thug friend beat up a red head spy named Natasha Romanoff who was tied to a chair.
"I know how you wanted this evening to go. Believe me, this is better." She smirked.
"I'd like to know why they sent you to carry out a carrier, a music stand and other random musical items." Luchkuv asked.
The tall thug grabbed the chair and leans it back so she is about to fall off the edge of the building.
She pressed on. "I thought musician Soholob was in charge of the export business."
"Soholob? Your reputation is quite a progression. The famous Black Widow. Nothing but a pretty face."
Natasha gasped in shock. "You think I'm pretty?!"
Luchkov ignores her comment and moves over to a table filled with instrument tools and picks up a xylophone stick. The tall thug opens her mouth.
"We do not need the Lermontov to transfer the tanks. Tell him, well…." Luchkuv began.
The tall thug's phone rang. Panic washed over his face as he picked up the phone.
"Mom, I told you not to call till eleven. Please-" He stopped mid sentence. "I think it's for you…"
He handed the phone to Luchkov.
"Hey Margret! How you doin?" Lucjkov said. "Why do you and I go get a drink tonight at-"
"This isn't Margret." Agent Coulson said from the other side of the phone.
"Oh….. Then who are-"
"You're at 114 Solenski Plaza, 3rd floor. We have an f22 exactly 8 miles out. Put the woman on the phone or I will blow up the block before you can say, 'I wish I never became a thug and wish I had became a plumber like my mom wanted me to'."
Luchkov holds the phone to her ear since she couldn't because her hands were tied behind her back and thought about his life decisions.
"We need you to come in." Coulson said.
"Are you kidding? I'm working!" She argued.
"This is super important!" He argued back.
"I'm in the middle of an interrogation and this dude is giving me everything-"
"I don't give everything." Luchkuv interrupted. Natasha glared at him.
"Look, you can't pull me out of this right now." She stated.
"Natasha, Barton's been compromised."
Natasha stopped. She had a major crush on the dude but didn't admit it. "Let me put you on hold." Natasha answered
She nodded at Luchkoc. As he came to take the phone from her, Natasha kicked him with her leg and head butted him. She stood up elegantly and stared to kick him in the face. Still tied she rolled over another thug who had been eating red velvet cake in the corner who you haven't noticed till this point. The tall thug came after her but Natasha stomped on his foot with the chair leg then knocks him out by head butting him.
During all of this commotion, Coulson is coolly waiting as if he were waiting in a Wal*mart check out line.
She then flipped over and falls down hard on the red velvet thug, and broke the chair. The tall thug stood up. Giving her momentum she ran at him drop kicking him, falls down and flipped right back up and wrapped her legs around his neck and knocks him out cold. She grabbed Luchkov, wrapped one of his legs around with a hanging chain and dropped him down the open floor, dangling. She picked up the phone with her heel.
"Where's Barton now?" Natasha asked casually strolling out of the building.
"We don't know." He answered.
"Is he alive?"
"We think so. I'll brief you on everything when you get back. But first, we need you to talk to the big man."
"Coulson, you know Stark trusts me about as far as he can throw."
"No not him. You need to get the big guy." Coulson emphasized.
Natasha stopped dead in her tracks. "Bozhe moi."
A little girl ran through a crowd of people, trying to get through to a tiny shack. She runs up the steps only to be stopped by a tall woman. The little girl spotted the man she was looking for. Bruce Banner, their local doctor.
"What are you doing here?!" The woman yelled. "Get out! You don't need to be here!"
"I have to see the doctor! It's my father!" The girl yelled.
Doctor Banner walked over to the girl and tried to sooth her. "Calm down. What's wrong?"
"My father…."
Banner looked behind him seeing how the girl is staring at a few people lying down, looking very sick.
"Is he like them?"
The girl held out all the money she had. "Please."
They ran hastily to the edge of town. The little girl runs ahead. Banner spots a local government car, he turned around blocking any view of him.
They finally made it to the little girl's house. As he walks in the little girl runs through a window. Banner is left standing there looking very stupid.
"Should have got paid up front Banner." Bruce told himself.
Natasha then appeared from behind the curtains. Bruce turned around quietly.
"You know, for a man who's supposed to avoid stress you picked a awesome place to settle." She remarked.
"Avoiding stress isn't the secret." Bruce answered.
"Then what is it? Yoga?"
"You brought me to the edge of the city, smart. I uh, assume the whole place is surrounded?"
"Just you and me." Natasha answered.
"It's you and I." He corrected. "And your actress buddy, is she a spy too? Do they start that young?"
"I did."
"Who are you?"
"Natasha Romanoff." She answered.
"Are you here to kill me, Miss Romanoff?" He asked. "Because that's not gonna work out for everyone."
"No. No. Of course not. I'm here on behalf of SHIELD."
"SHIELD?" He questioned. "How did they find me?"
"We never lost you doctor. We've kept our distance, even helped some other interested parties off you sent." Natasha said.
"Why?"
"Nick Fury seems to trust you. But now I need you to come in." She said.
"What if I say no?
"I'll persuade you."
"And what if the….. other guys says no?"
"You're been more than a year without an in incident. I don't think you wanna break that streak." She said.
"I don't always get what I want."
"Doctor, we're facing a potential global catastrophe." Natasha said.
"Well, those I actively try to avoid."
"This is the Accordion." She pulled her flip phone and showed him a picture of the Accordion. "It has the-"
"Is that a flip phone?" Banner said. "With all this new tech around, I thought you'd have a little more updated phone."
She glared at him.
"Sorry." He apologized.
"It has the potential loudness to wipe out the planet."
"What does Fury want me to do?" He asked. "Play it?"
"Well, he wants you to find it. It's been taken. It emits rock music that's too week for us to trace. There's no on that knows Rock music like you do. If there was, that's where I'd be."
"Harsh." He muttered. "So Fury isn't after the singer?"
"Not that he's told me." She answered.
"And he tells you everything?"
"Talk to Fury, he needs you on this."
"He needs me in a cage?"
"Well duh no-"
"STOP LYING TO ME!" He thundered.
Natasha quickly pulled out her maracas and pointed it at him. But the Doctor simply stood up strait and smiled.
"Sorry, that was mean. I just wanted to see what you'd do." He said. "Why don't we do this the easy way, were you don't use that, and the other guy doesn't make a mess? Okay? Natasha….."
Hesitantly Natasha lowered her maracas and spoke into her ear piece.
"Stand down. We're good here."
Several SHIELD agents game out of the shadows and into the light of the shack.
Bruce smiled. "Just you and me?"
Fury faced several large monitors, having a conference with members of the World Music Council.
"This is out of line director." The 1st man said. "You're dealing with forces you can't control."
"Have you ever been in a singing battle, councilman? In a Music face off? Did you feel on overabundance of control?"
"You're saying Altosgard has declared war on our planet." The same man asked.
"Not Altosgard." Nick Fury said. "Lokey."
"He can't be working alone. What about the other one? His brother." Another person asked.
"Our intelligence says, Thor is not a hostile. But he's worlds away, we can't depend on him to help. It's up to us." Nick Fury answers.
"Which is why you should be focusing on phase 2, it was designed for exactly-" The 1st man spoke.
"Phase 2 isn't ready, our enemy is. We need a response team."
"The Avengers initiative was shut down."
"This isn't about the Avengers."
"We're running the world's greatest convert security network and you're gonna leave to fate of the human race to a handful of music freaks."
"I'm not leaving anything to anyone. We need a response team. These people maybe in a-" He stopped and sang. "Kingdom of isolation, unbalanced-"
"Director Fury, do you think now is the time to be making Frozen references?"
"It's my favorite movie!" Nick argued. "Anyway, unbalanced even, but I believe with the right push they can be exactly what we need."
"You believe?" The 2nd guy said.
"War isn't won by emotions." The 1st guy said.
"No, it's won by soldiers."
Sorry! This is kind of a boring chapter. Again, reviews are extremely appreciated!
