*Ingrium's POV*

We retrieved Loki from the mountain we first landed on. I was most thankful he was even still there, and tyankful Vikar hadn't followed me and kept watch over Loki.

He was loaded on the same aircraft we had taken him out of not very long ago, called a "quinjet".

Once the people we were fighting not very long ago had gotten on along with myself,Thor,Vikar and of course Loki. As soon as Loki was secured we took off.

I sat in a seat across from Loki and watched him wondering what he was planning. Why he looked amused at his capture. How we were going to deal with him and find the tessuract. All questions i was eager to know to answers to, and everyone else as i would assume.

I must have been in a daze while staring at Loki because the metal man sat next to me and said, " You know, he's

perfectly secure here. "

I replied, " I'm sure it is. " sounding dissmissive of him on purpose hoping he would take the hint and leave me be. I am still not fond of him after tackling me off a cliff.

" So. . . You don't have to watch him like some possessed creep. "

" And you, metalman, do not have to act like a offensive brood. "

" Well it's actually Tony Stark, AKA Ironman, and your the one here that's brooding. "

I raised an eyebrow and said, " Only because you have not only tackled me off a cliff but also called me an "possessed creep" whatever that may mean is clearly rude. "

" Apologies Your Majesty, " he said getting up and bowing " Doesn't matter anyway we'll be there in a second. Ane Loki will be even more secure than now. "

I would've asked where exactly we were going but since Tony said we would arrive soon i didn't. I was beginning to like Tony. He could joke all he wanted as long as the tessuract was found.


*Vikar's POV*


The quinjet landed on a platform on a floating boat called a helicarrier. Loki was escorted to the inside of the helicarrier. Already in cuffs he was escorted to where he would be held prisoner by dozens of gaurds. As he walked past me he was smiling, deviously.

I look at a monitor of Loki's cell as he is just being escorted in along with Thor, Ingrium, and others i dare not bother to learn their names.

On a monitor of just outside Loki's cell a Midgardian walks up to the control panel and says to him, " In case it's unclear. You try to escape. You so much as scratch that glass. "

He presses a button to open a hatch underneath Loki's cell. As I would assume Loki doesn't flinch or even look alarmed the slightest bit.

The Midgardian continues, " Thirty thousand feet, straight down in a steel trap. You get how that works? "

He closes the hatch and points at Loki.

" Ant. "

And then back at the control panel.

" Boot. "

I cannot help but laugh, amused at the man. While Ingrium glances at me and sighs.

Loki says, smirking, " It's an impressive cage. Not built, I think, for me. "

The man says, " Built for something a lot stronger than you. "

Loki, turn to the camera, smirking even more than before says, " Oh, I've heard. "

I do wonder what they speak of as being stronger than Loki. And if we could possibly use its assistance. I decide to inquire about it later.

I only give the rest of the conversation half of my attention and before long the Midgardian walks off finished speaking with Loki and the monitor goes black. Well all stand or some sit in a circle in silence.


*Ingrium's POV*


We had been in silence for what seemed like an eternity.

A man i learned to be Banner spoke, " He really grows on you, doesn't he? "

The man in costume named Steve Rogers says, " Loki's gonna drag this out. So, Thor, what's his play?I

" He has an army called the Chitauri. They're not of Asgard, nor any world known. " Thor replies now turning to Steve. " He means to lead them against your people. They will win him the Earth, in return, I suspect, the tessuract. "

" An army, from outer space. " Steve says as a statement as if we are exaggerating.

" So, he's building another portal. " Dr. Banner chimes in, " That's what he needs Erik Selvig for. "

" Selvig" Thor asks.

" He's an astrophysicist. "

" He's a friend. "

" Loki has him under some kind of spell" says Natasha Romanova, " Along with one of ours. "

Steve says, " I want to know why Loki let us take him. He's not leading an army from here. "

" He obviously has a plan, he should not have gone down that easy. Maybe, because he needs something here, his sceptor possibly? " I state, what i have been thinking since we first capture Loki.

" I don't think we should be focusing on Loki. " Dr. Banner adds, " That guy's brain is a bag full of cats, you could smell crazy on him. "

I shrugg agreeing with him and Vikar mutters, " I couldn't agree more. "

" Have care how you speak. Loki is beyond reason, but he is of Asgard. And he is my brother. " Thor says defending Loki. Even though I would most definitely agree with 's assessment of Loki.

Agent Romanova eyes Thor and says, " He killed eighty people in two days. "

" Oh he's a madman" I say.

" He's adopted. " Thor says a bit guilty of defending Loki.

" I think it's about the mechanics. Iridium. . .what do they need the Iridium for? "

The man introduced to me as Tony Stark answers question saying, " It's a stabalizing agent. "

I turn to him and ask, " As in to keep the portal from collapsing on itself? "

He pointed to me and said " Exactly. Unlike at S.H.I.E.L.D. " He then walks over to Thor and says, " No hard feelings, Point Break. You've got a mean swing" as he taps his arm. " Also, it means the portal can open as wide and stay open as long, as Loki wants.

Tony says some other stuff, of which I ignore. Then continues on point saying " The rest of the raw materials, Agent Barton can get his hands on pretty easily. The only major component he still needs is a power source of high-energy density. " He turns to us and says, " Something to kick-start the cube. "

I tilt my head and ask him, " You're an expert in thermonuclear astrophysics? " quite suprised of his knowledge because of how he looks and acts.

" Since last night. " he says pridefully. " The packet, Selvig's notes, the extraction theory papers. Am I the only one who did the reading? "

" Well if I could. . . " I said.

" Does Loki need any particular kind of power source? " Steve asks seemingly a bit annoyed with Tony.

" He would have to heat the cube to one hundred twenty-million kelvin just to break through the coulomb barrier. " Dr. Banner said.

Tony said, " Unless, Selvig has figured out how to stabalise the quantum tunneling effect. "

Banner said, " Well, if he could do that he could achieve Heavy Ion Fusion at any reactor on the planet."

" Finally, someone who speaks English. " says Tony.

" Is that what just happened? " Steve asks.

They both shakes hands and continue their small talk and i hear Tony says, " I'm a huge fan of the way you lose control and turn into an enormous green rage monster. " referencing how Banner turns into the Hulk.

" Thanks" Banner says as he looks down.

The one named Nick Fury, who is director of S.H.I.E.L.D walks in and says, " Dr. Banner is only here to track the cube. I was hoping you might join him. "

Steve says, " Let's start with that stick of his. It may be magical, but it works an awful lot like a HYDRA weapon. "

" I don't think so, the sceptor's from an unknown realm. And I would assume from what I've seen of it, it may have a similar energy signature as the tessuract. In which case you can use it to track the tessuract. "

" And I'd like to know how Loki used it to turn two of the sharpest men I know into his personal flying monkeys. " Fury adds.

" Monkeys? " Thor questions " I do not understand. "

" I do! I understood that reference. " Steve says looking proud of himself. While Tony just rolls his eyes. "

" Shall we play doctor? " Tony asks Bruce

Banner's answers, " Let's play some. " as he and Tony go off to Banner's lab.

Most of everyone leaves the room or go to the other side to speak with others.
