"People we have a crisis." Nick Fury was addressing five people, all very different, but all very tense. Tony Stark resented the lot of them but was worst around Steve Rogers, the only person in the world who seemed to have the ability to make Stark lose his cool; something had obviously happened between them. Steve kept a straight face and back, a proper soldier who was comfortable making eye contact with all but Stark. Bruce Banner disliked the whole world and it showed a little in his face, but he was shy and sunk down in his chair. Natasha Romanoff and Clint Barton were the only two enjoying each others company, occasionally making more-than-friendly eye contact, but mostly remaining straight faced and professional. This awkward group of resentful people were earth's best line of defense. 'Oh God!' Thought Fury.
"As you all know, Loki is back. What you don't know is that this time he has help, from this girl." An image of Sam flickered onto the screens in front of the Avengers. "Her name is Samantha J Lithworth. Ten years ago, when she was four, she was part of a government experiment. A chip was implanted into her brain that should have meant she could perform the functions of a normal computer neurologically, like use the Internet or a calculator but wither brain. When the test chip was implanted this happened." A video began to play on the screen. It showed a little girl lying on a hospital bed in a room alone. When she woke she begun to scream and clutch her head, she then fell the floor, writhing in pain like a hyperactive snake. Fury paused the clip. "The chip worked, but too well. The girl was screaming because, how do I put this, the whole Internet poured into her mind. Think of all those social networking sites, each status update went through her mind, millions of voices. Samantha went insane. It was soon discovered that any effort to remove the chip could kill the girl so the military compensated her family then distanced themselves. But five years ago Samantha started hacking, the effect was devastating, the girl already had an IQ of one-hundred and sixty-five and now she has constant access to and unstoppable computer. She's been sleeping rough since her parents kicked her out nine years ago and no one can trace her, now it seems she's in league with Loki, they're both as insane as each other. This is, as you may have noticed bad news." Fury's explanation met stunned silence until Stark said:
"So we just have to track down an insane, super-human computer hacker with a computer in her brain and an insane demi-god with inhuman powers and a thirst for revenge." Fury nodded whilst everyone else just stared. After pausing to drink in the reaction he continued. "Let's get to work!"
