Chapter 2

Everyone nodded in agreement with Steve's comment as Fury said "Monster is exactly what he is, the most vile sex and drug traffic lord our world has ever seen."

Thor shoved the folder away from him with a look of disgust. "We have to stop this Lord now!"

Loki rolled his eyes at Thor's comment " Thor, he is not a Lord in the context your familiar with it's a Midagardian term for a really powerful criminal involved in many crimes."

Thor looked at Loki with relief that this man was not a true Lord "Thank you, brother."

Loki nodded and thought 'Idiot. Thor, could you read a book or two about Midgard and save us both some embarrassment. How does one really expect to protect a realm he knows so little about?'

Natasha closed her file "The world has many sex and drug lords. What makes this one a S.H.I.E.L.D case?"

Fury turned to the monitor and hit play "This is what makes it a S.H.I.E.L.D case." The footage showed vile crimes in various locations around the globe. "This is the worst global criminal organization our world's police and safety keepers have ever experienced. We have been brought in to infiltrate the top-level. We are going for the lord "The jugular", Evan Hatch."

"Alright Avengers mount up! Let's take this dude out!" Stark said with conviction as he stood.

Fury leveled a mean glare at Tony "Did you really think it would be that easy Stark?"

"Oh no, Nick this is S.H.I.E.L.D, so it must be difficult, messy and probably lead to some sort of explosion." Tony mocked as he returned Fury's glare.

The voice of reason, when he wasn't green and smashing everything, chimed in "So what is the play Fury?"

Fury proceeded with the plan. "Okay, I'm sending in a team to get close to Hatch. If we just take this guy out his next in line will just resume the operation. We must get the global intel on this organization and shut it all down!" Fury turned his attention to Loki, "This is where your reputation will do some good for once. No one knows that you are working with us but every criminal knows what you did. Your 'street credit' will get you close to Hatch. Intel so far tells us he sees you as a modern day Godfather, quoting your Stuttgart speech often."

Loki listened intently to Fury's plan and reveled in the thought of this realm that was under 'Thor's protection' could only be saved by him. He would kill that disgusting human and gain the world's honor. His grandiose thoughts were brought to a halt, when he heard Fury say, "as your wife."

Loki looked around the room to try and piece together Fury's instructions, when he locked eyes with Kellen. She looked horrified and Loki knew this was who Fury was referring to as 'his wife.'

Kellen was about to bolt out the door, when she learned of her role in the assignment. Then when Loki glared at her with disgust in his eyes she began to back her chair out. Natasha grabbed Kellen's leg and hitched her chair discreetly back under the table.

Loki's silver tongue failed him when he blurted "Fury, Kellen is not exotic enough to be the wife of a Demigod?"

"Shut-up Loki!" Natasha and Capt. spat simultaneously.

The room erupted in a heated discussion, everyone had a different approach with the only common denominator being that Kellen wasn't the right one for this assignment.

"Enough!" Fury roared "Stop acting like someone stole your tricycles and peeped in your Kool Aid!"

Fury noticing that Kellen eyes were fixed on the door "Is there some place you need to be, Jules?"

Snapping back from her thoughts of elopement, Kellen looked Fury in the eye and confidently said "Nowhere but here, sir. and ready to fulfill my orders."

The room went silent and all eyes were fixed on Kellen in disbelief as she continued. "The plan will move forward as Director Fury has ordered. I promise I will not let any of you down and please don't insult me or your training skills with worry."

Fury rose from the table "We are done for today, we will meet at 0700 tomorrow."

The team was quietly leaving the conference room absorbing the task at hand. When Kellen turn around to cleverly inform Loki "By the way reindeer games, when I finish my preparation for this assignment you will not be exotic enough for my hand in marriage sir."

"Ha,Ha, Ha!" Tony couldn't contain his insults and laughter as he jabbed Loki in the side. "You have no idea how much trouble that fake wifey is going to give you for your "not exotic enough comment." Remind me later and I'll tell you how I survived my 12% comment over a large glass of Camus Congnac Cuvee 3.128.

Loki glared and rolled his eyes at Tony's mocking and thought. 'Keep it up man of iron and I will make sure you visit a metal scrap yard permanently.'

"Natasha wait" Clint yelled while trying to catch up to her as she bolted down the hallway.

Natasha finally stopped and Clint embraced her. "Why do I feel like this Clint? I'm really scared for her and I can't shake it." Natasha's eyes glossed up as she pushed Clint's embrace away. "No, I need to be alone!" She firmly stated and tried to walk away. Clint pulled her back into his chest. "You feel like this because you love her and you can't bear the thought of anyone hurting her, it's a pain that you will never be able to shake. I know it all to well because I feel it every time you get an assignment"

Natasha pulled away again "Clint, don't! I really just need some time alone."
