Percy and Natasha are currently in a house just at the edge of Indian suburbs, stood at opposite ends of the room in shadows, Percy buy the door and Natasha on the other side. They watch as a small girl who managed to get Doctor Banner into the building run through and out a window on the other side, just a Banner walks in.
"Should have paid up front, Banner." Natasha says as she reveals herself, just as a young man, roughly 24, walks in behind Banner, a hood up. "You know, for a man who's supposed to be avoiding stress, you picked a hell of a place to settle."
"Avoiding stress isn't the secret."
"Then what is? Yoga?" Natasha replies, still emotionless but this time it's the other man who answers.
"What's it to you? You obviously want the other guy so bringing us to the edge of the city is rather smart."
"I take it the whole place is surrounded." Banner remarks.
"Not quite."
"What's your name?" Banner asks.
"Natasha." She replies stiffly.
"Anyway, why are you here?" Banner asks.
"SHIELD needs you." Natasha say's almost monotone.
"Why?"
"Fury seems to trust you, but now I need you to come in." Natasha shrugs.
"What if I say no?"
Natasha looks around for a moment, looking at the other man "What's your name kid?"
"Will, what's it to you?" as he pulls down his hood but Natasha ignores him. But Percy stops and stares, he recognises him, Will Solace. Percy notions discretely to Natasha and she seems to pick it up
"I could persuade you, Doctor Banner."
"Maybe, if he comes along." Banner replies, sticking his thumb at Will. Once again Natasha looks over at Will.
"I've only got orders for you."
"What does he need me for?" Banner asks.
"This is the Tesseract. It has the potential energy to wipe out the planet." She says as she hands over a picture to Bruce.
"What does Fury want me to do? Swallow it?"
"Well, he wants you to find it. It emits a gamma signature that's too weak for us to trace. There's no one who knows gamma radiation like you do. If there was, that's where we'd be."
"So fury isn't after the other guy?"
Natasha pauses "Not that's he's told me." Will doesn't believe it, and neither seems Bruce.
"And he tells you everything."
"Talk to fury, he needs you on this." Natasha deadpans.
"He needs me in a cage?" Bruce asks.
"No one's going to put you in a…"
"STOP LYING TO ME!" Bruce thunders. In reaction Natasha picks her gun up from the table and points it at Bruce. Will then seemingly pulls out a gun from nowhere and points it at Natasha. Percy then comes out of the shadows, pulling one of his guns and points it at Wills head, jabbing it slightly. Will freezes up.
"Put the gun down, Solace." Percy threatens.
"How… How do you know my name?"
"Put. The. Gun. Down. Now." Percy say's, pushing it through his teeth. Bruce looks over at Will.
"Do what he says Will." But Bruce then cracks out into a smile. "I'm sorry, that was mean, I just wanted to see what would happen, why don't we do this the easy way, without the guns, so the other guys doesn't come out. Okay? Natasha and the one with a gun pointed to the back of my assistants head…"
Percy and Natasha reluctantly lower their weapons. "Now why doesn't the other agent tell us his name, is he a rookie?"
Percy snorts while Natasha stifles a smile "A rookie, please… and for now my names Spectre."
-Line Break-
The group then took a Quinjet back to the Helicarrier with Natasha and Percy in the cockpit, pilot and co-pilot respectively, while Bruce and Will were in the back, talking quietly about their work.
"Did you know I'm not actually part of the Avengers initiative?" Percy asked Natasha.
"You're not? I thought Fury put you on it…" Natasha replied puzzled "Actually I think you are, considering I've seen the file."
"Why would I be though?"
Natasha just looked at Percy with an 'are you serious' face "You can be so oblivious sometimes. Even without your powers, you've still got the stupidly good reflexes and you're one of the best agents in SHIELD. You are in it, and if you're not, I'm kicking Fury's ass." They then sat in a comfortable silence for a few more minutes before Natasha turned to Percy once again. "I do have on question though, how exactly is Clint compromised, you never said?"
"Loki had this sceptre and when he placed on people's chest, their eyes went a dark blue and they went into a trance, in fact he tried it on me."
"So why didn't it work on you?" Natasha asked.
"I've had my mind taken over before, by mother earth, and the sceptre was weaker than the primordial so it was easy for me to fight it off. That and I punched Loki in the face." Percy replied, smirking at the end along with Natasha before she turned sombre again. "Tasha look at me. We will get Clint back ok? He means as much to me as he does to you."
Natasha nodded didn't reply and instead lightly kissed Percy. They then sat in silence until they came up to the Helicarrier.
-Line Break-
The two SHEILD agents were standing on the flight deck of the Helicarrier as the Quinjet carrying Steve Rogers and Agent Coulson touched down. They waited until the ramp was fully down and Steve and Coulson was coming toward them. Once the pair reached them, Phil opened up.
"Agent Romanoff. Agent Jackson. Captain Rogers."
"Sir, Ma'am." Steve politely nodded.
"Hi." Natasha replied but Percy just stiffly nodded. Then Percy turned to Coulson.
"They need you on the bridge. Face time." Coulson nodded before walking off with Percy. There was an awkward silence between Natasha and Steve before steve spoke up.
"I didn't offend him, did I?"
"Jackson? No, he's just cold with everyone that he doesn't know, I his partner a lot of the time and it took me a year before he started to warm up to me, and I thought I was cold." Natasha replied, shaking her head "Hopefully he'll warm up a bit quicker than that. Did Coulson get you to sign his trading cards?"
"Trading cards?"
"There vintage, he's very proud." They both then walked off to the meeting room for their briefing. And upon entering they find Bruce Banner, Percy Jackson and Will solace, who is getting glared at by the Agent who has managed to hide himself in the shadows again.
"Doctor Banner!" Steve calls out as he shakes hands with him.
"Oh, yeah. Hi. They told me you'd be coming." Banner replied.
"Who's the other one?"
"Will Solace."
"Steve Rogers." He replies as they shake hands. Suddenly Percy speaks up startling everyone but Natasha, who smirks.
"Gentlemen if you'd like to sit yourselves down, it might get a bit bumpy for first timers."
Steve looks around in confusion "What is this? A submarine?"
"Oh that's a good idea, sticking me in a submerged pressurised metal container." But instead the Helicarrier goes into VTOL flight and lifts off the sea's surface "Oh, this is so much better." Banner says sarcastically.
"Gentlemen!" Natasha calls out "If you'd follow me and Agent Jackson, we'll take you to the bridge." Percy joins instep with Natasha in front of everyone else and leads them to the Bridge, where Director Fury and Agents Hill and Coulson are waiting. They all take their seats on a large table where the three are waiting for them. Natasha and Percy sit next to each other toward the top of the table, while the others congregate toward the bottom. Fury walks up to Banner and extends his hand, which is reluctantly shook.
"Doctor, thank you for coming. I know about your apprentice, as long as he stays with you there shouldn't be a problem; I know what he is." Banner looks confused while Will is surprised and very confused and speaks up.
"Just how exactly do you know?" while Fury smirks.
"You think you're the only one in this room?" Percy asks but before the conversation continues Banner speaks up.
"Thanks for asking… politely. So uh… how long am I staying?"
"When we have the tesseract, you're free to go." Fury replies.
"Where are we with that?" Fury turns to Phil Coulson for answers.
Coulson clears his throat "We're sweeping every wirelessly accessible camera on the planet. If it's connected to a satellite its eyes and ears for us."
Banner ponders for a moment before commenting "Call every lab you know, tell them to put the spectrometers on the roof and calibrate them for gamma rays. Will and I will rough out a tracking algorithm based on cluster recognition. At least we could rule out a few places. Do you have somewhere for us to work?"
"Agent Romanoff, would you show Doctor Banner and his associate to their Lab please." Natasha stands up, secretly releasing her hand from Percy's and takes Bruce and Will to the labs. "Agent Jackson, I'm sure the good captain is up for a spar."
"Would you, Captain?" Percy asks.
"You sure you could keep up with a super solider?" Steve asks playfully where Percy gives off a minute smirk.
"Oh you have no idea." Steve looks over to Fury asking a silent question, which gets a reply of a smile. Once they were out the room Coulson turns to Fury.
"Are you sure that was wise, Sir?"
-Line Break-
Fury was standing on the Bridge along with Steve and Percy, waiting on orders where Agent Maria hill suddenly speaks up
"Director Fury, We have a 76% match on Loki. He's in Stuttgart, Germany, the Konigstrasse. He's not exactly hiding, Sir." Fury frowns before turning toward Percy and Steve, who were listening intently.
"Agent, Captain you're up." They both nod before leaving to suit up. On the way to the Runway they bump into Natasha who was just coming from showing Banner and Will the labs.
"Where are you two running off to?" Natasha asks.
"We've got Loki, in fact we need a pilot, interested?" Percy asks. Natasha just gives him a 'really' look before following them to the nearest Quinjet and quickly board it, heading to Germany.
"Where to Perce?" Natasha asks as they both take up one of the pilot seats, leaving Steve in the back.
"Stuttgart, Germany by the Konigstrasse. You know I could pilot this."
Natasha gives out a laugh "No offence, but with your pilot skills, we wouldn't get very far. There's a reason why I always pilot, hun."
