Chapter 2 New Intern
The next morning, Brennan had to get to work earlier than usual to show her new intern around. The new intern was Cece Lee Scott, an anthropology major who played the guitar, bass, drums and sang in a rock band called Blind Mischief. She shot a gun as well as Booth and was highly trained in martial arts. She was highly talented for a 25 year old.
Cece had already arrived at the Jeffersonian when Brennan pulled up with Loki in the front seat and Christine in the back in her carseat. Cece was wearing a black coat, a purple shirt with black belt, a black skirt, and high heeled leather boots with chains. She was African-American. She owned a Black Dodge Ram truck.
Brennan and Loki got out of the car and then Brennan got Christine out of her carseat and carried her over to Cece.
"Hi Cece! My name is Dr. Temperance Brennan but just call me Dr. Brennan or Tempe. Whichever one is fine, this is my daughter Christine and this is-," started Brennan.
"Sorry to interrupt but- oh my gosh LOKI!" exclaimed Cece. "You're actually real!"
"He came into my home last night with Thor," Brennan explained, grinning at Cece's enthusiasm over Loki.
"Jealous!" The three of them walked inside to the warm building, Brennan still carrying Christine. Brennan dropped Christine off at daycare and then put her stuff in her office
"So why does Loki look like he's scared of you everytime you speak to him?" asked Cece, after the tour of the Jeffersonian was over.
Brennan threw back her head and started laughing.
"He is scared of me!" she replied, as the other interns started filing onto the platform.
"Are not!" protested Loki, coming up onto the platform and setting off the alarm. He whirled around and used magic to shut off the alarm.
Cece turned to him and walked straight up to him a said, "Then why wont you get within 2 feet of her?"
"Because I don't want to foolish girl!" barked Loki.
"Did you just bark at me?!" asked Cece, her eyes starting to flash in anger.
"Yes what are you going to do about it Little Girl?" challenged Loki.
"Loki! Leave her alone!" snapped Brennan. Loki immediately looked frightened again.
"Y-yes m-ma'am!" He replied, looking more scared by the minute as Brennan continued talking.
"Hello everyone! You may have heard in the news that Asgard and the regions surrounding it including Earth are being attacked by the Anti-X-Men. This is Loki Odinson, half-brother of Thor. Yes he is real. He has recruited the Jeffersonian to find out how to defeat the Anti X-Men. The X-Men themselves will be helping us also. This is Cece Lee Scott. She was supposed to be my new intern but she just got a call from S.H.I.E.L.D stating that she is needed at S.H.I.E.L.D," said Brennan. "Therefore, Loki will be helping as an intern until he is called for war."
"This is not what I signed up for!" exclaimed Loki.
"SHUT UP!" yelled Brennan.
"She's tense before she has her coffee," said Jack Hodgins, who was standing next to Loki.
Loki stormed over to Brennan angrily.
"What the hell?! I never signed up for this! I'm supposed to be helping my half-brother and your bumbling idiot of a husband who as dumb as you!" he ranted.
Brennan slapped him across the face.
"Don't... call...him... that!"she seethed angrily.
"I'll call him what I want WOMAN!" Loki yelled, turning on his heel and storming out.
Brennan ran and jumped on his back, knocking him to the ground. She started punching him. Cece managed to tear the two of them apart.
"HEY! KNOCK IT OFF BOTH OF YOU! WE'RE HERE TO SAVE THE WORLD NOT DESTROY EACH OTHER!" she screamed. Jack held Loki back.
"She's RIGHT!" exclaimed Jack's wife, Angela Montenegro, walking up to the platform and scanning her keycard. "Guys we gotta hurry, There's been an attack on Earth in Baltimore at M&T Bank.. A 12 Jets players got injured including the QB and several fans died. The Ravens QB is in critical condition at the hospital!"
"Oh my God Joe!" exclaimed Cece. She pulled out her phone as she ran off the platform and to the exit. "Fury! Send agents to Baltimore NOW. I'll meet you there."
How does Cece know Joe Flacco?
What will happen next?
