Because this is what I should do the night before my exam. Ah well, enjoy.

I own nothing


"So how did it go?" Bruce asked as Steve walked into the room.

"Well he gave up, then another Asgardian showed up" Steve said as he sat down.

"Is he hostile?" Bruce asked, he'd already seen Loki being paraded past.

"He is too Loki" Steve replied.

"What happened?" Bruce asked. Steve quickly told Bruce the whole story.

"Gentlemen, this is Thor of Asgard" Natasha said. Steve had already seen him but Bruce was generally surprised. The guy was massive, almost as big as the other guy but with better hair.

"It is honour to meet you. I must apologize for Loki, in truth I believed him to be dead." Thor confessed.

"You can't be responsible for every Asgardian, its too much responsibility" Steve said, sitting down in one of black chairs.

"No, but Loki is my brother. Or at least raised as my brother" The last part was said more as a comment to himself, the other three didn't know how to respond. They had all viewed Loki as some crazed monster that no one really cared about, but they had just been proved wrong.

"Fury's going in." Natasha eventually said before turning on the monitors.


Coulson was on a mission, which isn't surprising really. He was with Agent Lee and they were outside apartment 6A. Originally they were going to leave the two Asgardians out of this but with the arrival of Thor things changed.

"Agent Coulson? Come in, please" Sif said as she opened the door.

"Thank you" he was glad that they had finally stopped referring to him as Son-of-Coul.

"How can we help?" she asked as she moved to sit on the sofa arm, whilst Fandral was on the sofa.

"If it is Steve you want he went out to buy milk... yesterday" Fandral added.

"No it's you we came to see. This world is in danger and we need your help." Coulson replied.

"What sort of danger?" Fandral asked.

"We can't tell you here" Agent Lee said.

"We weren't actually going to disturb you" Coulson admitted.

"Then why have you?" Sif asked.

"Thor arrived on Earth a short while ago" at this the two Asgardian's stiffened. Thor was here?

"Then why would need our help?" Fandral said eventually.

"Because we think you might know the person threatening us" Agent Lee said in a bored tone.

"His name is Loki, he claims he is from Asgard" Coulson said, he would have gone on but he could see that the name affected them. Fandral ran a hand his hair, obviously distressed by the news. Sif couldn't look at anyone, her eyes darted nervously around the room.

"We know him. If we agree to help you then you can promise..." Sif started.

"Of course" Coulson didn't need to hear the rest of her request, he already knew what it would be. The two Asgardian's exchanged a look before answering.


Sif and Fandral were sitting in a small room. It had an attached bathroom and so they had changed into their Asgardian clothes.

"So, what is our plan?" Fandral asked.

"They want us to go and join the other recruits." Sif replied, inspecting her sword.

"Yes, but I asked what is our plan"

"I need to speak to Loki. Something about this... it just cannot be right" Sif said, looking over to her friend. He nodded before tossing her a black cloak they had found amongst their old clothing.

"Then I will find Thor. We should go. You might want to let your hair down. He always did look at you more when you did" Fandral commented. She paused before letting it down and then wrapping the cloak over herself. The two slipped out of the room and into the hellicrafts main body.


"To have the tessaract, and then be reminded what real pow-" Loki broke off. Both men had been unaware of the shadow having entered to room and moving behind Fury. However Loki had broken off when the shadow came forward. When the shadow removed the hood to reveal Sif.


Must admit, next chapter is the reason I started writing this.
