Chapter 4
I walked in the door and was shouted at by Banner. "Did you know about this?" He demanded.
"You wanna think about removing yourself from this environment, doctor?" Natasha asked.
I zoned out, I wasn't interested in all the arguments until Steve shouted "You know damn well why, back off!"
"Oh, I'm starting to want you to make me." Stark said
"Boys." I warned- I was ignored. How rude can you get?
"Yeah, big man in a suit of armour. Take that off, what are you?"
"Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist." Tony replied
"Fair enough" I said. Steve scoffed "I know guys with none of that worth ten of you. I've seen the footage. The only thing you really fight for is yourself. You're not the guy to make the sacrifice play, to lay down on a wire and let the other guy crawl over you." He argued.
"I think I would just cut the wire." He stated - I had to turn away and laugh- Thor found this hilarious and patted me on the shoulder chuckling.
"Always a way out. You know, you may not be a threat, but you better stop pretending to be a hero." Steve said, noticing Thor and I.
"A hero, like you? You're a laboratory experiment, Rogers. Everything special about you came out of a bottle." Stark argued back.
"Guys maybe you should cut it out, we have better things to do" I tried, receiving a glare from both of them. "Okay, maybe not."
"Put on the suit, let's go a few rounds." Steve threatened
"Are you talking to me because I've already thrown you into a gate and I'm more than happy to do it again if you annoy me" I replied
"No, not you" he growled
"Take a chill pill dude" I hissed.
Thor laughed. "You people are so petty, and tiny." he said
"You know I'd like to meet someone that doesn't call me short" I said
"Yeah, this is a tea…" Banner said
"Agent Romanoff, would you escort Dr. Banner back to his…" Nick started
"Where? You're renting my room." Banner said
"Here we go," I told Thor.
"The cell was just…" he started again
"In case you needed to kill me, but you can't! I know, I tried. I got low, I didn't see an end, so I put a bullet in my mouth and the other guy spit it out. So I moved on, I focused on helping other people. I was good until you dragged me back into this freak show and put everyone here at risk. You wanna know my secret, Agent Romanoff? You wanna know how I stay calm?" He started. First Loki's rants and now Banner. Really? Why does everyone hate me today? Hang on sceptre alert!
I got an energy ball ready behind me as Fury unhooked his gun. "Dr. Banner, put down the sceptre." me and Steve said together.
*beep beep beep*
"Sorry, kids. You don't get to see my party trick after all." Banner said.
"No offence, but I didn't want to." I stated. Bruce nodded at me and glanced an apology over.
"Located the Tesseract?" Thor asked
"I can get there faster." Stark said
"Look, all of us…" Steve said
"The Tesseract belongs on Asgard, no human is a match for it." Thor said. Stark went to leave but Steve grabbed his arm." You're not going alone!" Steve protested " You gonna stop me?" Tony said
"Put on the suit, let's find out." Steve argued.
"I'm not afraid to hit an old man." Tony said
"Not this again!" I said. Thor chuckled and grinned at me- I like this guy.
"Put on the suit." Steve said
"Okay next time someone says 'Put on the suit', they're getting moved- telekinesis style" I said. At that moment Banner turned round, looking at the monitor and noticed something about the Tesseract.
"Oh, my God!" Banner exclaimed
