Later on that day, in Wishbone Lab Dr. Banner and Tony were tinkering around trying to track the cube.
"The Gamma readings are definitely consistent with Selvig's reports on the Tesseract. But it's gonna take weeks to process." Bruce remarked.
"If we bypass their mainframe and direct route to the Homer cluster we can clock this at around six hundred teraflops." Tony added to Dr. Banner's assumptions as the continued their small talk he couldn't help but notice a new presence join them.
"Well well well, if it isn't our newbie Diana? Isn't it?" Tony
"How charming… I can't believe THE Tony Stark doesn't know anything about me?" Diana looked questioningly at him.
"Oh I know the stories of the "Great Wonder Woman" the most powerful being in history but, I don't believe the woman standing in front of me is her." he continues his rant,
"Because I haven't seen you in action, just like Dr. Banner." he zaps Bruce on the side,
" You really have got a lid on it, haven't you? What's your secret? Mellow jazz, bongo drums, huge bag of weed?"
"Hey! Are you insane!?" Steve barges in after listening to Tony's rant.
"Join the party Captain, looks like you and Diana know each other a little too well" he wiggles his eyebrows suggestively.
"Is everything a joke to you Mister Stark!"
"Why did Fury call us in? Why now, why not before? What isn't he telling us? I
can't do the equation unless I have all the variables." Stark continues around the lab trying to figure out all the information he has.
"So you think the Director is hiding something from us?" Diana questioned looking at the others around the room.
"He's a spy Diana. His secrets have secrets." he gestures to Bruce, "It's bugging you too, isn't it?"
"Uh, Aah, I just wanna finish my work here and-" Bruce mumbles about.
"Loki's jab at Fury earlier about the cube, "A warm light for all mankind." you don't think- " Diana looks up towards Steve.
"I heard it."
"Well, I think that was meant for you." Bruce finishes Diana's thought without her saying anything. He continues, "Even if Barton didn't tell Loki about the tower, it was still all over the news."
"The Stark Tower? That big ugly-" Tony gives Steve a look. "-building in New York?"
"It's powered by an arc reactor, self-sustaining energy source. That building will run itself for, what a year?" Bruce interjected.
"It's just the prototype," Tony looks towards Diana and Steve, " I'm kind of the only name in clean energy right now, that's what he's getting at."
"Why would SHIELD be interested in the energy business now?" Diana questioned looking at the three men beside her.
"I should probably look into that as soon as my decryption program
finishes breaking into all of SHIELD's secure files." Tony interrupted.
" So hacking into a database with the worlds secrets is ant better!?" Diana exasperated looking towards Steve for some help.
"Just find the Cube." Steve said as he exited out of the lab
.
"And That's the guy my dad never shut up about? Wondering if they shouldn't have kept him on ice."
"Don't worry Mr. Stark He'll warm up to you…" Diana replied as she exited the lab as well.
Diana finds herself located at the deck of the carrier with Director Fury and Agent Hill discussing the whereabouts of .
"Sir, there has been a security breach. It seems someone is trying to override our system…"
"Hmm, he's pretty fast for someone as obnoxious as his father." Diana stated sarcastically has she hinted who exactly it was.
"Agent Hill, I'm on it." The Director stated as he hurried out of the deck towards the lab Diana following closely behind.
" You're supposed to be locating the Tesseract."
"We are, the model's locked and we're sweeping for the signature now. When we get a hit, we'll have the location within half a mile." Bruce stated
" And you'll get your cube back, muss, no fuss. What is Phase Two?" Tony asked
Steve enters the room slamming a Hydra weapon on the table, "Phase Two is SHIELD used the Cube to make weapons." He continues, "Sorry, computer was moving a little slow for me."
"Weapons? Why wasn't I inform about this Fury!?" Diana looked to the Director for answers waiting impatiently.
" Did you know about this?" Bruce asked Natasha as she and Thor walk in
"You wanna think about removing yourself from this environment, doctor?"
"I'd like to know why SHIELD is making weapons of mass destruction?" Bruce finally asked.
"Because of them." The Director looking towards both Diana and Thor, noticing their surprised faces.
"Me?" Thor questioned.
Last year earth had a visitor from another planet who had a grudge match that leveled a small town. During World War I, a woman of no background, processed the power of killing an actual god came and fought with the learned that not only are we not alone, but we are hopelessly- hilariously, out-gunned." He continues, "But you're not the only people out there, are you? And, you're not the only threat. The world's filling up with people who can't be matched, they can't be controlled."
"But Director it is this exactly that has drawn Loki to us, we should have never taken it out of the ocean." Diana replied.
The bickering amongst the men continued as each of them were trying to one up another. The excessive beeping of the computers indicated that something was wrong. Suddenly a explosion erupts with the the lab sending the team flying in different directions. Tony instinctively grabbed Diana sheltering her underneath him from the debris that was falling.
"Suit up, Yeah?" He asked. As she quickly nodded her head allowing Tony to help her up and run towards the door following Steve's lead.
"Steve you come with me, Diana go help Agent Romanoff and "
As Diana ran towards the direction the Doctor and Agent had wandered off to she couldn't help but fear the worst. had turned into the Hulk. As she was about to turn the corner of the second level of the carrier. Large bodies had been slammed against one another across the whole room. Noticing Hulk's chokehold on Thor, Diana decides to intervene.
"Thor are you alright?" Diana asked as she flipped the Hulk across the room.
"You are very STRONG for a woman!" Thor exclaimed not knowing the power she possessed. She rolled her eyes noticing a jet trying to the Hulk's attention. "Look over there Big guy!" The Hulk begins to run towards the plane clinging on its wing as it falls to the ground.
"Thor go stop Loki! I'll go help the others," as she runs opposite of the corridor in the air carrier.
STEVE PULL THE RED LEVER!" she heard Tony yell from her earpiece, "I'm on my way." She replied to them both.
However, by the time she reached them she found them Tony and Steve were in a slight compromising position.
"Well well well, looks like you and Steve really do know each other quite well." She remarked to his comments he made prior. As she helped both men up she couldn't help but feel dread follow. Something bad had just happened worst then the events prior.
