Hello once again my lovelies, I apologize for the delay in getting this chapter here. To be honest I ran out of an idea the other day but now it has returned. I hope you all enjoy this and keep reading(:

Chapter 4

Fury had been yelling at people in the control room when Tony ran up to him, he turned sharply and yelled at Tony as well, his anger has no people filters. "WHAT" Fury demanded.

"Jeeze, someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning?" Tony could tell Fury wanted to hit him across the face at that but he continued before the director could come back with a reply to Tony's horrible joke, "Loki can't speak" He stated bluntly.

"What!" This time Fury sounded more surprised than pissed, "What are you talking about Stark?"

Tony rolled his eyes, "The guy can't speak, simple as that"

Fury stood there for a moment to gather his thoughts. "I want all the Avengers in that room in ten minutes, no exceptions." He turned on his heel and back to his original position he began ordering everyone around with a new found…creepy obsessive happiness, as Tony would call it to Steve and Bruce when he got back to the messy science room.

Ten minutes later, Fury was the last to arrive in the room where Loki was being held. Loki and the Avengers were already waiting in the room, everyone was dead silent. Steve was fairly certain everyone else could hear his heart beat. It was so loud, he hadn't meant to tell…It just slipped out before he realized what he had said.

Fury took his spot right in front of Loki and beamed at him with his obsessive smile, "So…" He started which gained the attention of all the Avengers, "You can't speak" He laughed.

Thor looked at Loki swiftly and boomed out with his deep voice "WHAT?"

Natasha just looked a bit confused and pressed her lips together and kept her eyes on Loki. Clint simply stared at the director.

Bruce and Tony's expressions remained the same, as they already knew. Steve however, was keeping a firm, guilty gaze on the floor. Why do I feel this way…

Loki has stiffened a little and gave Fury a hard gaze that said nothing and when he got the chance of no one looking at him he glanced at Steve and gave him a glare. I never trusted that mortal, but I would have thought he wasn't going to tell. He thought angrily. Loki returned his emotionless gaze to Fury as he had just opened his mouth to insult Loki more.

He chuckled as he spoke, "You manipulative bastard, I thought you had just been ignoring me this whole time. Never thought you couldn't actually speak" His voice was taunting Loki, wanting him to make a move and mess up so Fury had the upper hand. Yet Loki remained silent.

The room held this tension in it, it was weird, like the air pressure had suddenly wanted to get heavier in an attempt to crush everyone. Of course they were still stationary in the ocean, it was instead Loki's doing. The God held such a murderous intent towards all of the Avengers and especially Director Fury and Steve.

If it wasn't for that damn mortal, I would be fine, this is all his fault. Just being Loki, he hated to blame himself for his mistakes, blaming Steve was the best thing he could do. Then…of course being the one in charge, blaming Fury was a pretty good idea as well. Loki hated that man with a passion.

Since Fury didn't expect a reply this time, he continued to speak. "Now, what the hell did you do this morning, I'm sure you know exactly what I'm talking about you-"

BOOM

Another explosion ripped its way through the inner halls of the ship. This time it was directly in the room that everyone was gathered in. It was bigger than the one this morning and it all happened suddenly without any warning. It had destroyed the control pad for the cage, lucky for Loki the clamps holding the cage up stayed in their locked position refusing to send the god into the icy cold waters that layer beneath him.

Everyone had been knocked over by the force, shrapnel had also found its way into several bodies and objects scattering the room.

Fury had been hit in the leg with some glass, fairly big pieces that jutted out from his flesh. He was clenching his fists and his face held a rather pained expression as one would think it did.

Clint had shield Natasha from the smaller pieces of glass that cut up his face and arms a little. Leaving her fine, besides the fact that Clint had seized the opportunity to throw himself upon her and hug her to death.

Bruce and Tony hadn't been hit at all for when they fell all the glass and metal had projected itself into the glass of the cell that had been behind them.

Steve had gotten some rather nasty cuts on the left side of his face and his left arm. He had been the closer to the explosion than everyone but Thor, and it took it's toll. He was laying on the ground like the rest rolling onto his right side in agony.

Thor, the one that might as well had been right next to the explosion and the one lucky enough to be wearing armor, had been one of the pieces of projectiles himself. He had gone clean through the cells glass, Mjolnir first of course, and shattered two Thor sized holes before stopping on the other side in a Thor-dent, newly made into the wall.

Then Loki, wait...where was Loki? There wasn't anything left in that room of the mischievous god. Almost as if he had never even been there at all.

Natasha and Clint had carried/dragged Fury to the health room, the medics just about had a heart attack with the way Clint had been lazily letting Fury's head bump against the floor (he was out cold by the time they got there but had some choice words to say when Clint started)

Tony and Bruce had attempted to dislodge Thor from his new seat in the wall, it didn't work out too well though. They had to get some metal bars that were scattered across the room and pry him out. Steve had gotten himself up and insisted he was fine...till he actually looked at his arm. Tony shaved him out and too the health room as well, Bruce had followed and they left Thor on his own. He was fine.

Thor looked at the dent in the wall then his path of distraction and for once, noticed something others didn't. "...Loki?" where is Loki? "brother?" he called out again. To no surprise, no one answered him and he walked around the room again and again calling out Loki's name as if he would magically appear the more he said it. Thor walked down the halls near the room and paid no heed to everyone who gave him a curious glance. Eventually he reached the health room and stuck his head in. "Loki?"

Natasha, Clint, Bruce, Steve, and Tony all looked at him. As if they had rehearsed it, they all thought back and at once (with the exception of Steve and Bruce) "shit!" came out of their mouths and they ran past Thor all going different directions looking for the now lost god.

Natasha had run back to the room and looked around the place. There was a lot of dust that had fallen on the floor now, so she checked for footprints but found that Thor had covered the entire area. She let out a frustrated "grr" and turned around and stalked out. Then entire time Clint was and kept following her.

Bruce had stayed with Steve. No use in me searching he guessed. Everyone else is already. Probably. He watched as Thor went around the room calling his brothers name then left and could be heard saying "Loki?" or "Brother?" all the way down the hall.

Tony had gone to his computer and had Jarvis bring up the plot for the entire ship. "Alright Jarvis, start searching for Gods Of Mischief."

"How exactly am I to do that sir?"

"you tell me Jarvis."

"I wish I could sir, but-"

"no buts. I need this guy found, there's no telling what he could do."

"sir, if I might?"

Tony sighs. "what is it?"

"as I was saying earlier till Mr. Rogers had interrupted me, Loki was in his cell at the time of the explosion-"

"what's your point Jarvis?"

"Sir, please, with the new found information if him not being able to talk, from all your encounters with him it seems his speech is the source of how he draws out his magic"

"so, what you're saying is that he can't use magic?"

"precisely sir."

"then how did he get away from us..?"

"Sir, the camera in the room was destroyed in the explosion and all the others were clouded by smoke. I couldn't see him get away but my deduction is that he-"

"just slipped right past us!" Tony slammed his fist against the table. "damn. I could have stopped him"

"you can't blame yourself sir"

"yeah, whatever. Have you started searching yet Jarvis?"

"I have sir. So far is just mess after mess it seems there was 3 more explosions to go along with the one in the holding room. I haven't seen Loki on any of the cameras I have checked yet."

"alright. Keep it up Jarvis, I'm going to the science room to go see if Loki ends up there. He might go back for his staff"

"yes sir."

Tony closes out the plans of the ship and leaves Jarvis to do what he does. He walks up to the science room only to meet disappointment. "damn!" Tony yells, "he's already been here..Jarvis!"

"you called sir?"

"bring up the cameras in this room!"

"what cameras sir? They were taken out this morning"

"DAMNIT!" Tony kicks a half burnt stool across the room. "how does he do this.." he walks out of the room and right into Natasha and Clint. "hey, you get anything?"

"nothing." Natasha scowls. "and you?"

"nada. I just came to see if Loki's staff was still here but it seems he's already been here and long gone."

"Jeeze" Clint comments, "this guy is good. Where could he have even gone?"

"he's definitely still on the ship" Natasha states "we'd know if a copter takes off with him on it."

"I have Jarvis scanning the whole place for him but nothing so far-"

"Sir, a camera just picked up a trace of cloth resembling Loki's. It was in the south end of the ship near the storage level."

"good work Jarvis!"

"let's go!" Natasha starts running off to that area with her gun drawn, Clint on her heels and Tony not that far behind.

Clever bastard. Tony thinks, his suit was in the storage area. Not that Loki could get to it. But he still could potentially leave Tony without his Ironman suit if he couldn't reach it before getting hurt.

Then again, what can the guy do? He doesn't have his magic.

Dun dun dun, where in the world did Loki go? Haha that just reminded of of this old computer game called: "Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego" or how ever you spell it :p Any way, there is to be some pictures to be had soon, i hope you guys don't mind that^^ Maybe coming next chapter, I haven't gotten word on them yet o-o

Till next time my lovelies.
