Natasha walked into the lab where Banner, Stark, Rogers and Thor were all standing, waiting. There was a slightly awkward silence in the air due to Fury and his crazy ass Daemon present.
"So, Loki plans to unleash the Hulk?" Fury asked, looking slightly pissed.
"Yes, I manipulated him into telling me his plans. He must plan to unleash the Hulk up here on the helicarrier to do as much damage as possible. I mean think about it. If the carrier goes down only Thor and Stark can escape. Makes it a lot easier to take over the world if most of its Heroes are dead." Natasha said.
"I do not understand his actions." Thor sighed "This is nothing like the Loki I know." He shuck his head slowly. As if to clear away memories.
"What do you mean Point Break?" Tony asked walking over to the God of Thunder.
"Before me and Thor first came to Midgard, when we were banished." Tuono started "Loki was pretty happy and content, I mean sure, him and Malizia got into trouble all of the time. They pulled pranks on pretty much everyone. It was who they were. Loki is the God of Mischief."
"Loki was never into senseless violence, he was the one who talked me out of going out and starting wars with other realms. I was quite naive in my younger years and I always wanted to fight. Loki was smart; he stuck to his studies and used his great knowledge to get me out of some sticky situations." Thor continued "But after my banishment and him finding about his true parentage he suddenly snapped. He tried to destroy Asgard and another realm, Jotunheim, in a couple of days."
"What happened to him after that?" asked Tony, he wished to know what punishment was given to the God that had caused so much damage to the people of Earth.
"Nothing..." Thor started but he was cut off by Natasha.
"Nothing? No wonder he is trying to destroy this realm if nothing happened to him the last time he tried mass destruction. Think of all of those people he would of killed Thor, how did you let him get away with that?" She snapped, his Daemon tightened it hold around her arm in anger.
"You didn't let me finish Lady Romanoff, when I returned to Asgard; I confronted Loki on his actions. He had set the Bifrost on Jotunheim and then he had frozen it. If it had been on there a few moments longer Jotunheim would no longer exist. In order to stop it I had to break the Bifrost and Loki wouldn't let me. In the end it turned into a fight. I managed to overpower him and I put Mjolnir on his chest so he couldn't get up and I broke the bridge." Thor explained to the Avengers and Fury "As I destroyed the bridge it caused an explosion throwing me and Loki over the edge. My father managed to appear and grab me and Loki grabbed onto Gungnir, My father's sceptre. He proceeded to tell Odin that he had done for the Kingdom and for the people. Father said it was wrong and Loki let go of the sceptre and fell into the wormhole that the Bifrost had created. We all mourned for him and forgot his evil deeds as we thought him dead. This is the first time I have seen him since that day. There was no time for him to be punished." Thor sighed "I don't think that he meant to survive."
"Maybe it would of been better if he did" Fury muttered. Thor heard him. His grip on Mjolnir tightened as Tuono hissed.
"Do not speak of my brother in that way!" he growled.
"He is not your brother right, you said he was adopted?" Fury sneered
"He is my brother even if we share no blood; I will not let you hurt him." Thor snapped as Tuono and Gryfder hissed and growled at one another. Tension filled the air and the Chitauri sceptre began to glow bright blue.
"Guys!" Bruce's voice stopped the two men from going any further into their argument.
"What the fuck?" Fury asked taking a closer look at the sceptre.
"I don't know what's going on with it. I've never seen anything like it before. Its alien technology, I work with medicine and radiation not thing like this."
"Screw this; I'm calling in Coulson's team." Fury said pulling out his phone
"What why Coulson?" Tony asked
"His team has two of the best scientists in the whole of S.H.E.I.L.D, if anyone can figure this out its them."
"Who are they?" Natasha asked, uncomfortable about having to share information with people she didn't know or trust.
"The people on the team are; Coulson, obviously," Fury began "Agent Melinda May, Agent Grant Ward, Leo Fitz, engineer, Jemma Simmons, Bio-Chem. And training agent Skye. They are one of my best teams and the only ones I would trust to help us."
Coulson's team walked of their jet and walked towards the Avengers waiting to be debriefed. Skye, Fitz and Simmons looked around the helicarrier in amazement, looking at all of the computers and staff filling the carrier, followed by their Daemons; Skye had a little fox called Cielo, Simmons had a racoon called Ki and Fitz had a red panda called Yin . Coulson, Ward and May walked straight up to the avengers their Daemons as focused as their partners; Coulson had an Australian Sheepdog called Fuoco, May had a wolverine called Trodaire and Ward had a tiger called Feroce.
"What's going on Sir?" Coulson asked Fury.
"An Asgardian Prince, Loki, came to Earth and stole the Tesseract. He plans to take over and rule our world and he doesn't care who he hurts. He has compromised Agent Barton and Ian Selvig as well as many other people using a sceptre made from a race called the Chitauri." Fitz and Simmons gasped at the mention of Selvig "We currently have Loki in custardy but we need FitzSimmons to analyse the sceptre to see if there is any way to break the hold it has on the people it has taken over" Fury said.
FitzSimmons, Stark and Banner were all in the lab looking over the sceptre.
"It seems as if the Tesseract and the sceptre are connected. The sceptre is like a key; it opened the Tesseract and let Loki get here in the first place." Tony said
"The sceptre has a type of magic in it." Simmons said as she looked at it closely.
"My guess is that when it comes into contact with a living thing it alters the brain slightly, meaning the person is easy to manipulate and control." Fitz said "But I'm sure that would leave some sort of mark on that person wouldn't it?" he asked. Yin just looked at him and then continued to wrestle with Ki on the floor
"Fury said that when Barton and Selvig were compromised their eyes went blue, kind of the same colour as Loki's" Banner said as Thor walked into the lab.
"Say colour as Loki's what?" The Thunder God asked as Tuono swooped it and almost took out Ferro who was perched on top of the cabinets in the corner.
"Loki's eyes." Tony started "Barton and Selvig's eyes both went blue when they went under the control of the Tesseract."
"But what has that got to do with Loki, his eyes are green." Thor said, looking.
"What are you sure?" Tony asked whilst looking at the screen that showed Loki continuously paced around the glass cell. He zoomed in to get a closer look at his eyes. "They are definitely blue here Thor."
"He most certainly has green eyes; he was famed in Asgard for it. Very few people have dark hair and green eyes in Asgard." Tuono said from the corner
"Well maybe Loki is stuck under the power of the Tesseract." Said Yin as she jumped up onto the work bench, she was shortly followed by Ki.
"We could do some tests on him to see if he is under some kind of spell and then we could see if we could lift it." Ki said excitedly.
"I do not like the idea of you experimenting on my brother."Thor said quietly.
"Don't worry we won't hurt him" Simmons smiled at the troubled God.
After explaining their theory to Fury and Gryfder the pair agreed to let the scientists examine Loki as long he was restrained and an Avenger was present at all time. Thor was extremely upset about Loki being restrained and again had to be reassured that Loki wouldn't be hurt. And that was how Loki had ended up strapped to the table in the lab, FitzSimmons running several tests on him, Tony sitting on the bench opposite asking the God questions and a three Daemons cowering in the country.
"How you feeling Reindeer Games?" Tony smirked, causing Loki to roll his eyes. "I see you not much of a talker? I guess I wouldn't be talking if I was in your situation."
"Believe me man of iron; our roles would not be switched as you would be dead." Loki snarled. Tony laughed at the God's clear discomfort; Loki didn't like not being in control. Simmons took some of Loki's blood; he flinched as the needle piercing his skin. Clearly not expecting the sharp stab.
"Sorry." Simmons muttered not looking into his eyes. The strange blue glow scared her a bit.
"Don't say sorry Simmons, he doesn't deserve it. He took out some guy's eye in Germany." Tony said. He was slightly uncomfortable with the way the God smirked at the memory. "And then me and Cap kicked his arse." He added for his own benefit. Loki pulled against his restraints, trying to sit up.
"Did it ever cross you stupid mind that I let you capture me, I could of disappeared when you and the Captain were fighting Thor. But no, I stayed. Did you ever think that bringing me here was exactly what I wanted?" Loki snapped a him just a Steve entered the room. The Sceptre began glowing once more at Loki's growing frustration.
"Stark! What the hell do you think you are doing? First you antagonise Banner and now you're trying to piss of a God. Who do you think you are?" Steve snapped as Fedeltà growled.
"Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist." Tony replied, he was pretty sure Loki snickered whilst Leo and Jemma tried to get on with their work.
"I've seen guys with none of that worth ten of you, and I've seen the footage, the only thing you really fight for is yourself. You're not the guy to make the sacrifice play. To lay down on a wire and let the other guy crawl over you." Steve snapped
"I think I would just cut the wire." Tony said. In the corner the Daemons hid behind one another as the sceptre glowed brighter.
"Always a way out. You know you may not be a threat. But you better stop pretending to be a hero!"
"A hero? Like you? You're a laboratory experiment Rogers; everything special about you came out of a bottle."
"Put on the suit; let's go a few rounds." Steve snarled. Loki laughed.
"You people are so petty... And tiny."
"Shut up Loki, We beat you once with ease, we'll do it again." Steve turned on the God strapped to the table.
"I think you'll remember Captain Rogers that before Stark showed up you were knelling at my feet." Loki laughed. Fedeltà growled; reflecting the Captains emotions but before anything could be done about the tense situation a loud crash echoed through the halls of the helicarrier. Everything shuck as one of the engines cut out. The lights dimmed and Loki's laugh filled the room. A flash of green Magick and the restraints around his wrists and ankles disappeared.
"Put on the suit." Steve said as they ran out the room. FitzSimmons hid behind the desk and Yin and Ki soon joined them. A smash made them turn around to see Hawkeye smash through the glass with his little Marmoset, Freccia, on his shoulder.
Loki stood up and he picked up the sceptre.
"You two will make excellent additions to my collection." Loki said to FitzSimmons. As he walked nearer to the pair their Daemons leapt forwards, both of them had their furs fluffed out and teeth bared. Thos stopped Loki in his tracks. The sight of the two Daemons protecting their partners from harm brought an image to his mind. A memory perhaps. That of a brilliant Snow Leopard in a fighting stance; growling at a group unseen enemies. Grey figure standing around with glowing blue eyes. The Chitauri?
All of this confused Loki. He turned away to get onto the airship that waited him. Ordering Hawkeye to take care of Agent Romanoff.
Fitz and Simmons looked at each other. They had both seen what had happened. The moment Loki hesitated his eyes went green.
The script from the Avengers argument scene, I know Loki says Thor's bit but Thor wasn't there and someone had to say it :D
