My alarm rang at me at an annoyingly high volume, taunting me for not getting up. I groaned and went to turn it off, but realised that the night before I had put it on the other side of the room in an attempt to force myself up that morning. Alright past me, you win this round but just watch your back.

I lazily got out of bed, slugging over to where my alarm clock was trying to beat the world record for the most annoying sound known to man and turned it off. I sighed as silence filled my ears and smiled, this blissful feeling was better than sex. I made way back to bed to try and get a few minutes more rest when the intercom from hell in my room decided I would not get another few minutes of rest. Do they know how much an intercom is an invasion of my privacy and sanctuary?

"Agent Cahya, Agent Cahya, report to the Director immediately for an emergency mission," I groaned in frustration, of course, there was a mission for me; of course, I couldn't have just one freaking day off! I refused to get changed but brushed my hair and teeth, so I didn't look like a huge slob.

I walked into the main control room with a scowl on my face, "what could be so urgent that you had to ruin my morning rest?" I asked loudly, rubbing my eyes as I still felt very tired. "And also, I told you to stop calling me Agent Cahya! I am not an employee of SHIELD, and I am certainly no agent!"

Nick Fury looked at me and seemed to disapprove, "why are you not dressed?" He didn't answer the question or acknowledge my mini rant at him; this is what I expected honestly. He had decided recently that he wanted me as an Agent of SHIELD and I flat out declined - I was good with being a private contractor but not an employee. To try and change my mind he started to get everyone, and I mean everyone, to call me Agent Cahya. He was looking distastefully at my current attire that consisted of Harry Potter pyjamas, but I was not having it.

"Because you asked for me at 6:30 in the morning!" I said, throwing my arms up to show him that I was not very happy with the situation either, that I was exasperated by having to be awake this early. It is not natural, who in this world is truly happy to be awake at 6:30? I was definitely not happy, nowhere close, I was more in the region of angry, annoyed, murderous, you know, the usual.

A few of the crew members looked at me wearily, probably the pyjamas and the shouting that made them a bit worried. They should really be used to this by now, this wasn't my first time in my pyjamas and certainly was not my last. The shouting wasn't that rare either considering Fury's constant harassment, but the combo was quite a rare occasion, and by rare I mean only this one time has it ever occurred in the view of other people.

"Listen, we have an urgent matter on our hands so I have called the Avengers in, which means that your friend will be here." He said, not really giving much care to the matter, I nodded sleepily until my brain processed what he was saying. Of course, he couldn't say that Tony was my brother, he had been asked by Tony to keep it quiet and honestly, I didn't care anyway.

"But I thought that he wasn't apart of the Avenger's initiative, you said he was volatile," I explained, my nerves going up as I thought about seeing my brother again after so long. I had kept an eye on him now and then; he was currently working on a Mark 7 for his suit.

Fury turned to me, "and now he is, I'm your superior here so don't question my decision," Fury lectured me and I put my hands up in defence.

"Fine, fine, I'll go and get dressed, but just so you know, you are not my superior, we are coworkers. I comply with your needs and in return, you give me access to the latest technology you can get ahold of. Just so you know," I said, backing up as I said this to him, looking Fury straight in the eyes.

Once back in the place I call my room, I got changed quickly, putting my hair up into a ponytail and before I knew it, I saw a Quinjet land down and ran outside to meet an old friend. I managed to reach him just as Agent Coulson was leaving.

"Steve!" I shouted, he turned around to see me and smiled, I ran the rest of the way up to him so I could talk normally, hugging him upon arrival. It felt like it had been an age since I had seen Steve, he had gone into seclusion, trying to get used to the world. I had tried to help, show him the way, teach him the rights and wrongs of this world such as fries in ice cream being amazing even if everyone else rejects it - he had not agreed with me on that one but I was going to turn him. I stand by my decision in every way. It was then that I saw Natasha also walking over.

"Hey Natasha," I said when I reached Steve, she smiled and returned my 'hello' with a nod. "How's it going, Steve?" He smiled and nodded at me.

"It's going alright," he said, as we walked along the deck. Natasha made some remark about Phil having the vintage playing cards of Captain America and I smiled. He was really proud of them, when he learned I had met the amazing Captain America, he hounded me for details - honestly, he was the biggest fangirl of Captain America, I thought it was sweet. We walked along until I saw a man looking rather lost ahead of us. That was when Steve called out to him.

"Dr Banner!" He waved over to him and Dr Banner walked over. I had heard things about him, seven PhDs! He was one of the smartest men I had ever heard of and so now it was time for me to be the biggest fangirl of Bruce Banner, A.K.A humble super genius (or anti-Iron Man as I like to call him). I bounded up to him excitedly.

"Oh my god! You're Doctor Banner? I have read like all of your papers on Gamma Radiation, I especially loved your paper on Anti-Electron Collisions! What insight! And I can't believe you have 7 PhDs, you are like my idol!" I said, smiling and enthusiastically shaking his hand.

I felt a hand go onto my shoulder and saw that Steve was gently pulling me back by the shoulders saying, "Calm down, Dorothy." I cast him a smile for stopping me before my idol decided I should be committed to a facility for the less mentally stable.

I whispered back, "whatever, Scarecrow."

I turned back to Dr Banner and smiled awkwardly, rubbing the back of my neck. "Sorry, I just really admire you." He gave me a smile and a nod and greeted Natasha and Steve who was smiling at me. Probably smiling because I looked so stupid, fangirling over Dr Banner.

As we were talking, I decided to casually mention an important bit of information, "guys, you might want to get inside, it's going to get a lot harder to breathe out here," Steve and Dr Banner looked at me then went over to the side of the deck to see it beginning to fly, over the water.

Natasha led Bruce inside and I stayed back a distance with Steve, who decided to again bring up a conversation we had a thousand times.

"Why am I the Scarecrow? I'm not that stupid," he pouted which honestly was the most hilarious thing I had ever seen, and so I went into my usual response.

"We have been through this Steve, you can't be the Lion because you definitely have courage and you can't be Tinman because (a) you definitely have a heart," and I whispered the next bit into Steve's ear so no one else can hear, "and (b) my brother is obviously Tinman," I heard him chuckle at the remark I had made a hundred times before.

"I suppose, but why can't I be the wizard or something?" We had made our way inside to the warmth by this point and were only a little ways away from the control room. I turned to him, stopping our walk.

"You can't be the wizard because the wizard was a fake, who used his knowledge to fool everyone around him. And okay, he was not evil but I don't think you could ever be fake or manipulative. You're too kind," He smiled down at me and ruffled my hair.

"Okay, Agent Cahya!" He then proceeded to walk quickly way, I turned and glared.

"Fury got to you too?! I can't believe this, you traitor!" I shout after him while jogging into the control room around the time I said 'you traitor,' causing everyone to turn to me. I smiled at everyone, nodding at them. Then Nicholas Fury turned around, "Gentleman," he said, and I coughed from the side hearing a similar cough from his other side that came from Natasha, he eyed me, "and ladies," he expanded. I smiled and nodded.

He walked over to Dr Banner, extending his arm. "Doctor, thank you for coming," he shook his hand and Dr Banner gave a polite smile.

"Yes, thank you so much, finally nice to be around actual geniuses," I say, smirking at Fury who rolls his eyes, knowing my love for the dramatic and hyperbole.

"Thanks for asking nicely. So... How long am I staying?" He asked, I was also curious how long my idol would be here for, I too looked towards Fury for the answer, he hadn't even told me that Dr Banner would be here so then when I met him I was not prepared and made a fool of myself.

Nick replied, "once we get our hands on the Tesseract, you'll be in the wind," he nodded to Dr Banner who had another question to fire back at him. I watched the exchange between them, Dr Banner explaining what he was going to do, being all impressive with his expert knowledge. He mentioned something about putting together an algorithm and my ears pricked up.

Then I felt a hand on my upper back, and Steve said next to me, "now don't scare him while you're in the lab, he might think you're crazy, Dorothy," I scoffed and nodded, what cheek! Steve left to look around the ship without another word, knowing my eyes were playfully glaring daggers at him, other agents' eyes following him as he walked towards Fury's control panel, Maria Hill giving him a sidewards glance.

I tuned back into the conversation with Fury and Banner, ignoring Steve. "Yes, that sounds good," Fury said, "Agent Cahya will be helping you with that, she did help design the software you'll be using in the lab. Agent Romanoff, take them both to the lab." I followed Dr Banner to the lab, I was talking animatedly about his plans to find the Tesseract, explaining the science I knew behind it and how he was a genius.

When we got to the lab, he turned and smiled at me, "not to be rude Agent..."

"Cahya."

"Yes, Agent Cahya,"

"No, I mean just call me Cahya, I'm not an agent no matter how much Fury wants my superior ass on his team"

Dr Banner nods, and continues, "okay, Cahya, could you just be a bit quieter? I need to be able to think," he said, I smiled and just nodded, going to the other workspace. I stayed silent for a minute.

"Oh, just one last thing, if you have any trouble with any of the software, just ask me, I'll fix it in a jiffy. And I'm sorry for earlier, I wasn't told you were going to be here so when my idol turned up I kind of panicked. I'm not usually that annoying," I smiled, and he nodded smiling back. I heard him mumble under his breath but couldn't catch what he said. We began to work in silence when I heard the intercom go off in the lab.

"Agent Cahya, prepare for a mission, the subject has been found." I grumbled at the name, he was never going to relent, so I thought about coming up with another course of action to tackle the 'Agent Cahya' problem, storing the thought away for a rainy day, the intercom then cut off. I ran out of the lab like a child who had just been told they were no longer grounded, I ran full speed towards the suit room as it was the quickest way to get to the jet bay, as I ran in I saw Steve there staring at his suit, which slowed me down to a stop.

"Been a while?" I looked at him, he looked back at me with a half smile that wasn't really sincere.

"Last time I was in it, I lost my best friend in the whole world, you can understand why I'm hesitant." I looked at him and saw his pain written across his face. I sighed and patted his shoulder.

"That wasn't the suits fault, people are going to need a symbol of hope if what I'm dreading with this Loki guy comes true. Captain America meant a lot to a lot of people and if your friend was here he would tell you to suck it up and put the suit on, Cap." He didn't smile but he went towards the suit and took it out of its cupboard, looking at it. I nodded and quietly said, "I'll leave you to change, changing rooms are through that door right there," I pointed to a door not too far from the cupboard where his suit was being stored. He nodded, not offering me any words but I didn't need any. I left out of the other door, making my way towards the jet bay.

I saw Natasha there and saluted, as we silently got to work to co-pilot the jet, one of my better talents - I had learnt while I was at SHIELD, as part of my conditions for helping them; I had always wanted to learn and now I wasn't half bad.

"So where are we going exactly?" I asked, Natasha filled me in on the details that we were going to Germany to catch the God of Mischief Loki. I nodded and carried on preparing for take-off.

As we took off, I looked back at Steve, "okay, Steve, make sure you give him hell," I smiled back at him and he smiled, giving me a small salute. We made our way there as quick as possible, Cap ready to jump out.

As he jumped down where Loki was, and watching the encounter enthralled me so much I almost didn't move when he aimed a blow from his sceptre at us, we swerved in time to not get hit thanks to Natasha actually paying attention. She shot me a warning glare, telling me not to slip up again. I just stuck my tongue out at her and helped her steady the jet.

Then, over the intercom, I heard a voice that brought a lump to my throat.

"Agent Romanoff, did you miss me?" Tony had said over the intercom. I looked down to the ground to see none other than my brother down there, in his Iron Man suit, aiming his guns and lasers at Loki, ready to shoot if he moved. I smiled, that's my brother. As annoying as he is, he's got style and also an amazing feat of science called his Iron Man suit. Loki put his hands up and before I knew it, he was on our Quinjet, going back to headquarters with us.

As they loaded him on to the Quinjet, I got really intrigued.

"Agent Romanoff, can you take the wheel for now?" I asked, she nodded but looked at me with a look that asked 'why?' I simply shrugged in response and made my way to the back of the Quinjet.

I saw my brother, nodding I decided to speak, "hey," I said quietly. He ignored my existence completely, and perhaps trying to fill the awkwardness, Steve replied to me instead. Perhaps trying to save the humiliation of being ignored, or just couldn't deal with the awkwardness himself.

"Hey Cahya," he smiled, I smiled back thanking him wordlessly.

A voice then rose up that I hadn't heard before, "well that seemed extremely awkward," I turned to the culprit, none other than Loki, Prince of Asgard. His smirk made my stomach drop like something was pulling it down, like a bowling ball, he looked so evil with such evil intentions. But normally, the evil didn't phase me, I suppose maybe because he exuded power.

I smiled at him nonetheless, "Yes, probably was. So, you're the infamous Loki, God of Mischief, Prince of Asgard," I said, "I must say, you don't quite live up to my expectations, I thought you would be... more difficult to catch." I smirk in his direction but he's just smiling at me, not phased by my words.

"I think you mean King, sweetheart." I rolled my eyes, my stomach feeling like it now had two bowling balls weighing it down, I didn't want to be called 'sweetheart' by him, not in any way.

"I wouldn't call me sweetheart if I were you, I'd hate to punch that pretty face of yours... On second thought, I'd love to punch it," I said, snarling at him.

"Oh, so you're the feisty type are you?" He smirked at me and I couldn't contain it and punched him right in the nose, he flinched at the contact but that's all that happened - he was a God and my mortal strength wasn't enough to break his nose, no matter how much I wanted to. He held his nose and looked up at me with a seething glare, he might have even retaliated if he weren't cuffed. It wasn't the pain that made him seethe but the blatant disrespect from someone he believed to be beneath him.

I leaned down to him, "I have friends who can hurt you properly, be lucky it was me who was punching you or you may have internal bleeding by now, they are very protective of me," okay, so this was a bluff, I didn't have any friends who could really hurt him... Apart from maybe Steve but he wasn't the unnecessary violence type so I imagine he wouldn't be much help, but the God of Mischief didn't know that. His face showed a grimace and I smiled satisfactorily and went back to co-pilot the jet when a loud roar of thunder went off, stopping me in my tracks.

Cap then piped up, looking at Loki, "What's the matter, scared of a little lightning?" He asked, I turned to see Loki looking upwards with a rather scared face.

"I'm not overly fond of what follows," he said, and suddenly I squealed.

"Oh my god! You mean Thor right?! I've read a lot of Norse Mythology! Are you really the father of a wolf and a serpent? Because that seemed rather ridiculous to me," I said, Loki looked at me like I was crazy for being excited but Norse Mythology had intrigued me since the God of Thunder had been spotted on Earth only a year prior going by the name of Thor. I mean, a God, he was a God and that was just plain cool.

The others look at me before we heard a loud bang on top of the Quinjet, we all looked up to the source of the noise. Then, Cap and my brother sprang into action, Tony put his helmet back on and Cap grabbed his shield. I just grabbed onto the side of the jet, smiling like a crazy person.

The back door opened and there was Thor, Tony tried to stop him but he used Mjölnir to stop him, he grabbed Loki and before he could fly off, I quickly grabbed onto Loki as well. We can't let a prisoner escape, however, it hadn't occurred to me that I was not at all equipped for field work, my only use was piloting a jet. Before I could really ponder on it though, I had to make sure I grabbed firmly onto Loki so I didn't fall to my death as Thor flew us far away.

I was soon propelled through the thunderstorm until we landed on a high rock. I landed with a thud and rolled over. Ow, that hurt. But it didn't seem like Thor had taken much notice.

Loki must have known as he must have felt me latch onto him.

"Where is the Tesseract?" A sexy deep voice asked, I sat up from where I was laying and saw Thor looking down at Loki on the ground.

I decided to just listen to their conversation, as Thor still hadn't noticed me.

"Oh I missed you too," Loki sarcastically replied but it seemed to anger Thor.

"Do I look to be in a gaming mood?" He replied, obviously not at all happy with his brother.

Loki sat up a little, "with the Bifrost gone, how much dark energy did your father have to muster to get you here? Your precious Earth." Loki said all this while slowly getting up, but Thor was getting angrier by the second and yanked him up by his collar.

"I thought you dead," Thor said, seeming less angry. I could hear the pain in his voice, the pain of losing someone you loved that I knew quite well. The pain in my side began to increase when I lost focus on the conversation just reprimanding myself in my own head how much of an idiot I was being, my face scrunched up in pain but I remained silent and tried to listen in again.

Loki looked at him with cold eyes, and in an ever colder voice asked, "did you mourn?"

Thor looked into his eyes and replied calmly, "we all did... Our father..." Thor had started but Loki sought to correct him.

"Your Father," he pushed Thor's arm off him and looked at him with sadness and anger, I thought that perhaps some of what the Norse Mythology books said was true, perhaps he was actually a Jötunn, Laufeyson. I kept this thought to myself as I continued to observe, trying to distract from the immense growing pain in my side. "He did tell you my true parentage, did he not?" Loki began to walk away, out of my sight so I could only see Thor. Thor ignored this comment, he did not see them as anything other than a brother.

Thor turned around and replied, "we were raised together, we played together, we fought together! Do you remember none of that?" I couldn't see either of them at this point so I walked around slowly, the pain in my side increasing tenfold when I stood up. I let out a low groan but no other sounds came out of my mouth, I made my way over to see them, hiding behind a different rock where I could see them. I saw that Thor still hadn't noticed my presence.

Loki turned to Thor in anger. "I remember a shadow," the pain was so clear on his face, a horrible memory from his childhood, "living in the shade of your greatness. I remember you tossing me into an abyss, I who was, and should be, king!" He seemed to be angry, perhaps angry at himself, I didn't know.

"So you take the world I love as recompense for your imagined slights? No, the Earth is under my protection, Loki."

Loki then laughed, "And you're doing a marvellous job with that, the humans slaughter each other in droves and you just pulled one out of a flying vehicle to have a brotherly reunion, probably breaking something in her puny weak form."

I came out from behind the stone, "hey!" I said angrily, "I am not puny!" Then proceeded to grab my side, proving his point - which caused me to scowl, angry at proving him right.

Thor turned to see me there, clutching my side in immense pain, trying to ignore it. I waved and he turned back to Loki.

Loki continued, "you sit idly by while I mean to rule them!" This took Thor's attention back to Loki, almost making him forget I was there once again.

"You still see yourself as above them?" Thor asked his brother.

Loki replied in the most obvious tone, "well, yes." I rolled my eyes, stupid god with his stupid hair and stupid antler and stupid outfit.

Thor stepped towards Loki, "then you miss the truth of ruling, brother, the throne would suit you ill." This seemed to anger Loki the most as he replied angrily with a shove to his brother, walking back up in my direction, to the edge of the cliff.

"I've seen worlds you have never known about! I have grown, Odinson, in my exile!" Loki turned to Thor, utterly ignoring my presence there. I just watched them both, not noticing my pain as I was once again engrossed in the conversation. "I have seen the true power of the Tesseract, and when I wield..." Loki had continued but Thor interrupted him.

"Who showed you this power?" He quizzed, walking towards Loki. "Who controls the Would-Be-King?" He said, Loki seemed even more riled up, shouting his next words in anger.

"I AM A KING!"

Thor grabbed him by the shoulders and shouted back, "Not here! You give up the Tesseract! You give up this poisonous dream!" Thor held onto Loki's cheek, tears seemed to well in Loki's eyes. "You come home," Thor said meaningfully, reaching out to his brother emotionally.

Loki smiled, and looked at his brother, "I don't have it."

Thor recoiled in anger, he seethed at Loki, summoning Mjolnir who was beside me. Loki continued as Thor held up Mjolnir, "you need the tesseract to bring me home, but I've sent it off, I know not where." He said, a hint of victory laced his voice. I glared at him, not that he was looking at me, stupid god with his stupid hair and his stupid antlers and stupid outfit. It had almost become a mantra as I looked at him, anger rising in me any second he caught my eye.

Thor pointed the hammer at him, "you listen well brother, I..." But before he could finish, he was tackled and flying away with none other than my brother. I looked at where he had been moments ago in shock.

Then Loki said something that I didn't want to laugh at, but kind of made me laugh, "I'm listening," he commented with a bit of glee in his voice.

I chuckled and his attention was brought back to my existence.

"So, human, I suppose I should deal with you now, and your little defiance earlier," he looked at me with a sick grin. I smiled with my hands up.

"Oh come on now, I'm pretty sure I broke a rib on that fall, and I don't even think I broke your nose!" I exclaimed. He walked towards me, his smirk never fading.

"Just know, human, you are beneath me, I am going to be your King, and Kings demand respect and punishment to those who do not give it." He was right in front of me now, looking down at me, but then he turned at a loud noise and sat on the edge of the cliff.

Not understanding his actions, I followed, realising he was watching the fight between Thor, my brother and Steve. I sat down a few feet from him and watched as well while peeking at him watching the fight, trying to determine what he was thinking but I couldn't really tell what he was thinking. My attention was turned back to the fight. I flinched when Thor hit my brother with the hammer, each time he did, feeling like it cut into me just a bit. By the middle of the fight, I was covering my ears and had my eyes plastered shut, not really wanting to watch at all.

It wasn't until about 10 minutes later I felt a tap on my shoulder.

I looked up to see Steve had tapped me on the shoulder, he seemed okay and I smiled and hugged him. "I'm glad you're alright," I said into his shoulder.

"Yeah, me too," he chuckled, putting his arm lightly on the small of my back, almost like it wasn't even there. I felt the pain in my side pierce through me, causing me to lose my grip and fall over - only worsening the situation.

Steve bent down to me, "Cahya?! Are you okay?" He fretted over me, I smiled at him.

Chuckling, I replied, "yeah, I'm fine, just remind me that flying for me should be strictly confined to aeroplanes and jets and such and should exclude Norse Gods." He smiled at my comment and helped me up.

They had loaded Loki back into the carrier by this point and the rest were on board. Steve walked me to the carrier and once we were on board, Natasha took off.

I looked towards Tony, "are you alright?" I asked but he just ignored my question and glared out of the window. I nodded, assuming he must be okay and turned to the more interesting of characters we had.

I smiled widely, "you're Thor!" I exclaimed, extending out my hand to shake his. He hesitantly took it and shook it enthusiastically. "And that must be Mjölnir! I am so excited to finally meet you... When I first heard about you, I was so impressed.

"You're a God, like an actual God and that is sooo cool, I am so impressed. And seeing you do that thing with the thunder and lightning! It was magical!" I squealed. Thor smiled at me.

"Yes, it is quite impressive, isn't it? You are an amusing maiden." He said in his deep sexy voice, chuckling a bit.

I nodded enthusiastically till I heard Natasha yell, "Cahya if you could get back to your actual job instead of fangirling over Thor that would be great!" She yelled back to us, I smiled again, waving goodbye as I made my way back to co-pilot again even though I was significantly slowed by my probably broken rib.

I looked to Natasha sheepishly, "sorry."

"No worries, just don't leave hanging like that again, I thought perhaps you had been hurt badly." She said, I sheepishly smiled and decided to not mention my injury. In all the commotion, it had slipped my mind.

I felt over my ribs and felt a sharp pain as I ran over one of them. Yeah, it was probably broken.

I kept it from Natasha till we got to the Helicarrier where I went straight to the ward. They bandaged me up and then proceeded to reprimand me about my reckless behaviour. I just smiled and nodded and waited for it to be over.

As I went back to the control room, I saw everyone was assembled there, they seemed to be waiting for Nick, I sat down and waited with them.
