I AM SOOOOOO SORRY! I know that sorry is simply not enough because I've been gone for two months. It was definitely not my intention! For a while I had a bad case of writers block, but then I went to see Iron Man 3 in IMAX 3D last night and it was AMAZING! It made me remember where I wanted to go with this story and how to finally reunite Ayela with Thor and Loki. I hope you like this chapter and I promise not to be gone that long EVER AGAIN! With that terrible apology, please enjoy Chapter 3!

grapejuice101: Well he's not here quite yet, but next chapter there will be!

Mercede216: I thought the spark was cute as well. Ayela said in the first story that when she saw him, she'd know!

MyraBrown: hope you like how I reunited Thor and Ayela. A bit of Loki too, but they haven't spoken quite yet!

SafyreRaven: Reunion is here! Stark will be next chappie!

Guest: Glad you liked it!

Little-doodle-laura5663: Here it is! The moment you've been waiting for!

ValkryieMerlia992: There are a couple Cap/Ayela moments! Loki and Ayela won't be talking yet but there is a slight moment at the end!

xo-WolfGirl-xo: Hope you enjoy, what you were waiting for is here!

SherlockAvenger007: Thank you so much! Your review made my heart burst with happiness! I'm glad you liked the prequel and hope you like the chapter!

xxxMadameMysteryxxx: thank you! Please enjoy this chappie!

TheDoctor'sAmazingCompanion: They meet in a way this chapter, next chapter will be much better!

Jessica-Angelbaby-Bautista: more is here!

EnyaandEathenyl: I'm sorry! lol, I just couldn't. When I made the final decision to make this Cap/Ayela, I thought Loki could create problems if he were to also be in love with her. It's not quite a love triangle because she doesn't really feel the same way. But I hope you enjoy the story anyway :)

**DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN THE AVENGERS, THEY BELONG TO STAN LEE! Though I wish he would let me borrow Captain America and maybe Loki ;D

Chapter 3: Reunited

As soon as Ayela entered the main hall, she gasped lightly in amazement, slowly looking at her surroundings with her mouth agape. Admiring the agents working from afar, she noticed that Steve was doing the same. The minute their eyes locked, the two looked away, blushing madly. Bruce had noticed the moment between the princess and the captain, while cautiously glancing around his new environment.

"Gentlemen…and lady." Ayela turned to the director and nodded respectively. With seeing Nick, Steve immediately took out his wallet and handed him a $10 bill, which made Ayela's eyebrows rise in confusion. Steve wandered over to the front of the ship, looking through the large window and out into the blue sky. Ayela shyly walked over to him.

"Beautiful isn't it?" She said as she sauntered over to his side. He smiled kindly.

"I've been in ships before, but I've never really admired the scenery." Ayela laughed.

"Well considering that this planet is still new to me, I tend to look at all the details. The sky can be so flawless and peaceful." Steve watched the princess for a moment as she gazed out the window. She turned her eyes back to him and Steve bashfully looked away.

"We should probably see what they're talking about." Ayela nodded and followed the captain back over to Phil, Nick and Doctor Banner.

"We're sweeping every wirelessly accessible camera on the planet. Cellphones, laptops…if it's connected to a satellite it's eyes and ears for us." Ayela heard Phil explain to Bruce.

"That's still not gonna find them in time." Ayela noticed the slight worry in Natasha's voice and she knew it was about Clint.

"You have to narrow the field. How many spectrometers do you have access to?"

"How many are there?" Nick asked.

"Call every lab you know, tell them to put the spectrometers on the roof and calibrate them for gamma rays. I'll rough out a tracking algorithm based on cluster recognition. At least we could rule out a few places." The doctor ordered, taking off his blazer and rolling up his sleeves. "Do you have somewhere for me to work?

"Agent Romanov, would you show Dr. Banner to his laboratory please?" The agent nodded.

"You're gonna love it doc. We've got all the toys" She said leading him down the hall. Ayela sat down at the table at the large table that was in the main hall since she was of no use for the time being. She knew that they were searching for Loki. Deep in her thoughts, Ayela could find no reason at all why Loki would suddenly want to rule the Earth and hurt people in that process. She'd seen the pictures of what used to be the New Mexico S.H.E.L.D. base and her heart had torn knowing that her old friend was the cause of such destruction.

"I mean, if it's not too much trouble." She heard Phil say as she let her thoughts fade away. She looked towards him and saw him standing next to the captain.

"No, no it's fine." Steve said with a shrug.

"It's a vintage set. Took me a couple years to collect them all." Ayela tried her best to hold back a giggle as she realized Phil was talking about his Captain America trading cards Natasha told her so much about. "Near mint, a bit foxing around the edges but-

"We got a hit." Ayela immediately jumped up from her seat and headed over to the agent. "Sixty seven percent match. Weight, cross match, seventy nine percent."

By his side, Ayela looked at the screen and at the face of her old friend. Her face was emotionless; she had no idea what to feel about finding him. Knowing he was on Earth, just a flight away, made her heart pump to its highest point.

"Location?" She to Phil who walked to her side.

"Stuttgart, Germany. 28, Konigstrasse. He's not exactly hiding." The agent said.

"Captain, you're up." Nick said to Steve, who nodded and Phil led him out of the hall.

"What about me Nick?" She said as she walked up to the director.

"It's not your time, Ayela. More will come later."

"Nick, he was my friend, I can stop him."

"All we need is to get him here. The Captain can handle that, we called Stark in to help." Ayela sighed in frustration. Nick put his gloved hand on her shoulder. "Ayela, I know you want to help. And I'm certain without a doubt that you could bring him here. But for now you stay here."

The princess nodded reluctantly and began to walk out of the hall and to her room.

"Ayela," she turned to see Steve dresses in a red, white and blue uniform and blue mask over his head and shield in his hand. She thought he looked very handsome in it and tried not to stare too hard.

"Steve. I love the new uniform." She said, looking him up and down. "Phil did a great job with his altercations."

She looked into his clear blue eyes from under his mask and grabbed his hand in hers.

"Steve, I don't know what Loki plans to do, but please be careful." Steve tried to ignore the heat that rushed to his face when Ayela's hand around his. She seemed so concerned and they and they had only met that day. He didn't want to be speechless for too long, so he nodded as he looked into her luminous cerulean eyes.

"I will." Ayela smiled lightly and let Steve go on his way.

*FMLIMA*

"You're on a ship?" Ayela laughed at the sound of Micah's excitement.

"That is right. I'm on an invisible ship that's flying in the night sky right now."

"Why couldn't I go with you?" Micah whined.

"I told you Micah, what I have to do, it's just too dangerous. I need you safe. You're all I have."

"But you're all I have."

"I know, but Micah I promised you I would return remember?"

"Yes," he muttered.

"I intend on keeping that promise. But you have to promise me that you'll stay safe okay?"

"Okay."

"Okay, it's late you have to get to sleep. Head to bed, and I'll see you soon."

"Ayela, I love you." Ayela smiled and a single tear rolled down her cheek and she wiped it way.

"I love you too." She hung up the phone and lied down on her bed, staring up at the ceiling. She was worried about Steve, worried about Micah, and hoped that she could keep the promise she made to her little brother.

"You worry too much." Ayela looked towards her door and saw Phil standing there with a smile.

"How long have you been standing there?"

"End of your conversation with Micah. You don't have to worry about him. Micah's perfectly safe with Cassie and Adam. No one knows their whereabouts except you, me and Director Fury. Everything will be fine."

"Thank you Phil. Did you come to check on me?"

"Afraid not. Ayela, it's your turn." Ayela stood up quickly.

"It hasn't been more than an hour. Nick's letting me go?"

"Needs your help. The Captain and Stark were able to get Loki, but we just got a message from Natasha saying that Loki was just taken by Thor."

"Thor's here?"

"He is now." Ayela's excitement grew at the thought of finally seeing her friend.

"I'll leave immediately."

*FMLIMA*

"I've put in the coordinates to Natasha's ship; you can find where they went from there." Phil told Ayela as she walked up to her surfer and stepped onto it.

"Thank you Phil, tell Nick I'll be back soon." She flew off as quick as she could, hoping that nothing would happen until she got there.

*FMLIMA*

Thor groaned loudly as he picked himself off the ground, glaring at the metal man that stood before him. The iron mask then opened up to reveal the real man behind it.

"Do not touch me again." Thor threatened.

"Then don't take my stuff." Tony remarked.

"You have no idea what you're dealing with."

"Uh…" Tony said looking around the forest, "Shakespeare in the Park?"

Thor smirked, hiding the anger he held for the iron man.

"Dost mother know you wear-eth her drapes?" Tony insulted dramatically.

"This is beyond you Metal Man. Loki will face Asgardian justice."

"He gives up the cube, he's all yours. Until then, stay out of the way." Tony said, his mask returning in front of his face.

"Tourist." Tony muttered. As the words came out of Tony's mouth, Thor released his hammer and Tony felt himself flying into a nearby tree.

"Okay." Tony said to himself. Unknown to Tony, Thor glanced up at his brother, who was watching their fight with a smirk up on the mountain. He summoned his hammer and began to spin it but before anything could happen, Tony shot at him. Thor went tumbling into a tree, crushing it and losing his hammer again. Now very angry, the Asgardian prince summoned his hammer again, holding it up to the sky as a bright bolt of lightning and shot it from his hammer into Tony's suit, hoping to stop him.

"Power at 400 percent capacity." JARVIS announced, surprising Tony.

"How 'bout that?" He smirked. With his suit powered up, Tony once again shot at Thor, but the prince landed back on his feet. The two male heroes flew at each other, Tony grabbing onto Thor and forcing him to hit trees face on. After the two flew into a far-off mountain and a couple more trees, they then were sent tumbling back into the forest floor, now fighting in hand-to-hand combat.

"Hey!" a voice yelled suddenly as both Tony and Thor were hit by the shield. Steve looked down at them as his shield returned to him.

"That's enough!"

*FMLIMA*

Ayela had been flying miles and miles on end and hadn't noticed a thing. As she glanced higher into the shy, she smiled as she finally found the S.H.I.E.L.D. ship. The back was still opened as Ayela guessed that was how Thor got in and out of the ship with slight interference.

"Tasha." She looked around the ship and was surprised to see that there was no sign of Steve or Stark.

"Glad you could finally make it out, Ayela." Tasha said from her seat as Ayela approached her from behind. "Stark and the Captain followed Thor and Loki. If I were you, I'd start with the lightning."

"Thanks Tash, I'll find them." She flew out of the ship and gasped as she saw a large string of lightning shooting down. Thor was close. She flew as quickly as she could to the lightning before it faded away. She flew over acres of green forest and saw shots of white light, while hearing yelling of some sorts.

"Put the hammer down." Ayela could hear from afar; the voice sounded like Steve.

"Yeah-no! Bad call, he loves his-

"You want me to put the hammer down?!" She heard another voice say. Ayela gasped at the long unheard voice; Thor. Ayela silently prayed to the gods she'd finally found them. As she passed a large mountain range and flew down into the trees, Ayela saw Thor as he was about to hit Steve with Mjolnir.

"Thor no!" She yelled. But it was too late. Thor's hammer hit Steve's shield instead, creating a large echoing sound so powerful that it threw the four supers a couple feet to the ground. Ayela had been thrown off her surfer and hit the ground hard on her back. She groaned in pain, but picked herself off the ground as the others did.

"Ayela?" She turned to see Thor a few feet away from her, staring at her in shock.

"Thor!" She ran into her old friend's arms. It was a moment before he'd hugged her back, realizing that she was truly there. She'd missed his bear hugs and felt a few tears run down her face. Thor held her tightly to him, glad that she was not a dream. He separated from her and took a good look at her face.

"I thought you dead." He said, choking back any tears he held in his eyes.

"I'm sorry for making you believe that my friend. I could not find a way to reach you here." Ayela unwrapped her arms from his head and backed up a couple feet away.

"Has anyone else survived?" He asked. Ayela looked away from him solemnly.

"Just Micah and I. Everyone else on Adranus has perished." She spoke in despair.

"I'm just glad you escaped. I have missed you so." He said, hugging her again and Ayela gladly let him. After a very long year, she had not seen or heard from her friend and wanted to enjoy him while she could. Suddenly, Ayela felt eyes burning her back and she separated from Thor again and looked toward a large rock formation. She didn't know why, but she could feel someone's eyes on her; and it was coming from the mountain range. At first, she saw nothing, and thought her feeling a hallucination, but as she peered along its edges, her eyes widened as her eyes connected into the emerald eyes of Loki.

*FMLIMA*

Loki could feel the breath in his lungs halt to a stop when he looked into her eyes. The eyes that had haunted his dreams for many months. After seeing the destruction on Adranus, he thought he would never look into those eyes again. He saw the burnt bodies and forests, the castle in pieces, but he didn't want to believe that Ayela, his best friend and love, was dead. He never fully recuperated, just simply tried to forget. Forget the way she laughed, the many summers spent together. Forget the fact that he loved her with every fiber of his being. And there she was, hugging Thor, and very much alive. Many questions floated in his head. How was she alive? How did she escape? Was she the only one? But it did not matter. The only thing Loki cared about was taking Ayela as his own, and continuing with his plan to rule the Earth as king. But not alone; with Ayela as his queen.

CHAPTER 3 EVERYONE! Next chapter, things will be getting better now that Ayela's reunited with Thor and Loki's finally in the picture! Hope you liked the Steve/Ayela moments I put in, I thought they were adorable!

Please review! Maybe it'll help me post faster! ;)
