Natasha Romanoff and Clint Barton were looking at the monitors there was a large spike in activity coming into the earth's atmosphere at a rapid rate.
"Clint look at this." Natasha said before zooming in slightly, Clint looked over at it and his eyes went wide.
"It looks like a spike from Thor or Loki when they came to earth, and it's near us." He said before hitting the alarm and waited for the others to get there. Steve was in the training room along with Thor who was doing sit-ups when the alarm went off, they looked at each other.
"That means an emergency correct Steve?" he asked furrowing his brows slightly, Steve nodded in response.
"Come on Thor lets go see what they have found" he said moving to walk out, quickly followed by Thor. Bruce and Tony were in the lab and they quickly moved to the meeting area to see what was going on. They all made it up to the room where Clint and Natasha were, Natasha stood there crossing her arms.
"Gear up avengers we have another outer being to deal with." She said seriously
"What do you mean an outer being?" Steve asked slightly confused by what she meant. She let out a frustrated sigh
"I mean either we are dealing with another Thor, or even Loki again." She told him. Thor stepped up
"Are you saying there maybe another Ice Giant or Asgardian we have to deal with?" he asked making it clear, she nodded slightly.
"Plus side is that is near us." She explained they all looked among each other.
"There is a downside." Tony said
"Yes, we don't know what it is or of its capabilities." Clint said standing to his feet and looked at them.
"So you need to all suit up and go after it, we don't want another Loki on our hands, and as soon as you get back with it. We will put it in confinement." Fury said behind them, they all turned to look at him. They all briskly nodded before running out to get suited up. Fury walked up to Natasha and Clint
"Do not let this one slip agents." He stated to them, they nodded before heading off to the Quinn jet. There Clint put in the latitude and longitude, not long after that the others began showing up but Bruce who stuck back in the lab.
"Everyone be on high alert as we said once we don't know what this is capable of." Natasha cautioned as she set down to strap in.
"What are we to do if we find it?" Steve asked creasing his brow. Tony looked over and flipped his face mask up to look at everyone
"Probably kill it, I mean unless it is like Thor. He isn't bad just kind of weird." I said. Thor looked at him confused as he strapped himself in also.
"Man of Iron what do you mean I am weird? I think my ways are normal just as you think yours are." He said to him
"Yes, probably normal from where ever you came from not for earth." Tony retorted rolling his eyes slightly.
"Tony stop terrorizing Thor." Steve said to him placing his shield in between his legs and glaring slightly at Tony.
"Listen boy scout I'm Iron Man, I don't need you to tell me what to do okay?" he said looking over at him with a sarcastic look plastered on his face. Steve went to open his mouth to say something when Natasha interrupted
"I did not come on this mission to babysit grown men now get it together you three! We have a very important mission to do and you are arguing over how someone acts? How pathetic, focus on what we are doing." She snapped at them, the three sat back in their seat and grumbled slightly.
"We do not kill the target to answer your question Steve, I think fury wants us to subdue it and capture whatever it is." Clint told them, Steve nodded I do wonder what has come to earth; I hope it's not too had to beat… Steve thought before he was snapped out of it when the jet landed near a lake. Everyone got out of the jet and stood to wait for orders and turned their communicators on.
"Okay if you find it, try the best you can to contain it and call for backup we will reach you as soon as we can. Now split up and look for anything abnormal." Natasha said. Everyone began walking in a different direction looking around for any clues that something is out of the ordinary or had just landed.
They had been searching a while when Steve came across some burn marks that ran into ice. He kneeling and ran his fingers over it, furrowing his brows and rubbing his fingers together.
"Scorched ground that is still hot that runs directly into ice?" he said before hearing a rustle in the bushes. He held up his shield and walked closer to them crouching behind it.
"Who are you and what are you here for?" he asked and looked around ready to attack when Clint walked out.
"You found the ice too?" he asked him crouching to look over it. Steve let out a small sigh of relief and walked over to him
"Yea but look at this Clint." He said walking over to the scorched ground; Clint walked over and looked down at it.
"My best guess is that it is around here somewhere." He said looking around
"I think you're right but where?" he said following him. A figure dressed in all black covering everything but their eyes quietly jumped out of a tree and landed behind them.
"I wish we knew what we were looking for…" Clint stated, Steve just returned his question with a focused nod as he continued to look around for anything else. The figured watched them look around as it was right behind them.
"Midgardians are not the brightest are they, I am standing right behind them yet they haven't turned to see me…" It said to its self before laughing quietly
"he told me to let them capture me but he never said I could not have any fun now did he?" it said as it formed an ice spear and threw it right at their heads causing them to jump and whip around to see in, it tilted its head and laughed again.
"Now I have gotten your attention male Midgardians allow me to state my observation of you both? Not at all bright, I was standing behind you and you did not even glance back." It said smirking behind the face mask.
"I think it's a female… its voice sounds that way and… it's an Ice Giant we can't let Thor know about this so let's devise a plan and pull her in." Steve said quietly. Clint didn't respond instead he pulled arrows from his quiver and began to rapidly fire them at her. She let out a small giggle and dodging the arrows by back flipping multiple times then forming an ice wall to shield her. Steve let out a frustrated sigh and looked over at Clint
"Clint we are supposed to subdue her not kill her!" he said to him. Clint looked back over at him with a strange look on his face.
"I know that, but I panicked! Let's get her then!" he retorted, Steve winged his shield at the ice cutting it in half but she was not longer there.
"Great we lost her!" Clint cried out before they heard a small splash. She had frozen over the lake to walk on it and melting the ice behind her.
"This may be harder than we thought…" Steve said while jogging over to grab his shield
"I hate to admit it but tony would be extremely helpful in this situation." Steve said walking out onto the shore, the water sloshed against his boots from the current she was making.
"I heard that boy scout." Tony said flying over and landing near Clint. Steve walked back over to him as she sat in a squat biting her thumbnail slightly.
"Now what are they doing?" she asked herself as she watched them.
"She's an ice giant and if Fury wants her you to know we can't tell Thor or she will be dead by the time she gets back to the Heli-carrier." Steve explained Tony looked over at him, flipping his faceplate up. A confused look plastered over his face.
"Wait so you are telling me Ice Giant over there is a little girl… Did she outsmart Captain America and Hawk-Eye? Well, I guess I'll show you how it's done then." He told them smirking before closing his face plate and flying off.
"You know I am not even going to warn him." Steve said shaking his head and watching. The Ice Giant watched Tony closely; she smirked and flicked ice spears up from the water at him. One nicking his suit, he looked back at it
"Really I just repainted this damn thing. That's it you're going to get it, little girl. You can't be that strong." Tony said to himself before shooting forward and grabbing her by her waist, she didn't even put up a fight. Tony then flew back to the shore and sat her down on it holding on to her wrist.
"That wasn't that hard was it boys?" he asked them suddenly she lifted up her wrist and flung tony into a tree. Steve walked over and grabbed her shoulders and Clint pulled her hood and face mask off. Her white hair came cascading down in a mess of soft waves and stopped at the end of her behind, her skin a pale cyan blue color and her eyes were fully red. She stood about 5 foot tall and was thick but extremely toned and fit. Tony stood from the ground and walked over.
"Hey, she's kind of cute." She looked at him with a bored look and raised her eyebrow.
"Maybe we should sedate her?" Steve asked Clint who gave a nod in return.
"But the only one that has any of that is Natasha." He said, just then tony walked over and hit her over the back of the head causing her to fall to the ground unconscious as her hair pooled around her on the ground.
"Tony what the hell?" Clint asked him looking over at him; Steve picked her up and walked off
"Language!" he said making his way back to the Quinn jet with this small alien-looking around and making sure Thor wasn't around. Clint and Tony then caught up as he walked up the ramp
"Where should we put her?" He asked Clint, Clint stood there and thought for a minute
"In the cargo hold, tie her up to Steve we don't want any chances of her slipping out." he said to him, Steve returned it with a nod and walked into the jet briskly.
"Hello, team! Did you find anything?" Thor called out walking out, both tony and Clint looked at each other and shrugged.
"No nothing Thor what about you?" Tony asked him, he shook his head.
"I also found nothing in this lavish forest." He said walking out, Natasha walked up not too far behind him and Clint moved to pull her to the side.
"This was a total bust we didn't get anything!" she snapped out him shaking her head.
"Natasha, we found her." was all Clint said, she stopped to stare at him in shock.
"Her? How do you know?" she asked him lowering her voice and then looked confused
"But Tony told Thor…" she trailed off furrowing her brows and crossing her arms.
"You can't let Thor know what she is." He said. She went to open her mouth to snap at him. You even saw the anger flashed across her face, Clint held up his hand.
"She is Jotun; unless you want her to die and never get to know why she is here we can't let Thor know." He explained watching her reaction, she still looked confused and in utter shock.
"Where is she?" She asked him, Clint turned to peek around the corner.
"I told Steve to put her in the cargo hold so she wasn't near him… or well the others." He said rubbing the back of his head, suddenly Steve walked around.
"Both of you should come and see this." He said before turning on his heel and walking back into the jet, they looked at one another before walking in behind him.
"How did you even?" she asked him in a hushed tone glancing back at Thor who was talking to Tony.
"It actually wasn't easy and I panicked trying to shoot her…" he said walking into the cargo hold to see what seemed to be a whole different being.
"I was tying her up and well her skin color changed totally to this soft white with a hint of blue." He said looking at them
"Well Loki was the same way, he could switch between Jotun and I want to say human or even Asgardian." Natasha said taking a knee to look her over better.
"When we get back we will put her in a cell like we held Loki in and report to Fury." She said standing up; Steve gave her a stiff nod. They walked out and closed the door, locking it. Thor looked over slightly confused
"You never do lock that door, why to do it now?" he asked them crossing his arms with suspicion.
"I was told to by the director, don't question my motives." Natasha said as she walked up to the front of the jet and set a course for the carrier.
