Hey, guys I'm back with the next chapter. Sorry it took me a while to get this up. My laptop was having issues with the battery and stopped working and I thought I lost all of my works but luckily, it started working again and everything is still around. Along with some personal drama but I'm back now.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything you recognize. Everything belongs to the wonderful Stan Lee, Marvel Studios and Disney. I only own Amber and Meria, and parts of this plot I modified.

Amber's POV - The Next Morning

I was suddenly woken up from sleep with my phone going off. I rubbed my eyes and grabbed my phone, looking at the caller ID. Why the hell is Tony calling me at 6am? "Hello?" I asked groggily.

"Amber, we need you to come to the lab right away. I found some interesting stuff about our buddy, Fury." Tony explained over the phone.

"Seriously?" I asked surprised. "All right, I'll be down in 10 minutes." I hung up the phone and got dressed into a pair of blue jean shorts, a black tank top with a skull on the front of it, a black jacket and fingerless leather gloves. I then put on my boots and headed downstairs.

I soon arrived at the lab and went inside. Tony and Bruce both looked at me and I saw Tony's eyes widen.

"Wow." Tony said and I looked confused.

"What, too much?" I asked, looking at what I wore.

"No, you just look hot." Tony said. I blushed profusely.

"So, what did you find out?" I asked nervously and wanting a change of subject.

"Apparently, Nick Fury is using the energy from the Tesseract to make SHIELD weapons out of them." Bruce explained and my eyes widened.

"Are you serious right now?" I asked still shocked. Tony then walked over and showed me the information that Jarvis found. I couldn't believe it. What were they thinking using this technology to make weapons? This is why I respected Tony more when he stopped creating weapons and focused on other things with his company. "I can't believe this right now."

"Well, believe it sister." Tony said. I shook my head and handed him back the information.

At that moment, Nick Fury walked into the door, giving a us a surprised look that we weren't working. "What are you doing, Mr. Stark?"

"Uh..kind of been wondering the same thing about you." Tony shot back.

"You're supposed to be locating the Tesseract." Nick said looking at Tony.

"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 answered.

"But most importantly. What's phase 2?" Tony asked, feinting ignorance. At that moment, I saw Steve storm into the room and dropped a weapon onto the table, causing Fury, Banner and Tony to turn around. I looked at the weapon and I paled. I saw the insignia on the side of the rifle. Hydra's symbol.

"Phase 2 is SHIELD uses the cube to make weapons." Steve answered and then looked to Tony and said, "Sorry, the computer was moving a little slow."

"Rogers, we gathered everything related to the Tesseract. This does not mean that we're..." Nick tried to explain but Tony interrupted by saying, "I'm sorry, Nick." Showing him the computer screen, showing the weapons. "What were you lying?"

"I was wrong director. The world hasn't changed a bit." Steve said disappointed. Unfortunately the world wouldn't change much after 70 years; too much greed and power in the world. Then Natasha and Thor walked into the room and Banner glared at Natasha.

"Did you know about this?" Bruce asked Natasha.

"You wanna think about removing yourself from this environment, doctor?" Natasha said to Bruce.

After that, Bruce and Natasha began arguing and when Bruce asked why they were making weapons of mass destruction, Nick revealed because of Thor and then a whole fight breaks out and I looked at the sceptor and watched as it began glowing. I walked over to it and began having a bad feeling in my gut.

"Hey guys." I said but of course nobody would listen to me which didn't surprise me considering everybody's ego trip was getting the better of them. Then Bruce had gotten pissed because of the cell they had built for the Hulk and admitted that he tried to kill himself.

I couldn't help but feel sorry for Bruce. It must have been terrible to live with another person inside you, or I should say monster. Bruce had unknowingly picked up the sceptor in his fit of rage and Steve had asked him to put the sceptor down.

Suddenly the monitor went off, signaling that it found the Tesseract. Once more everyone began arguing about who should get the Tesseract or where it should go. I ignored them and went to the monitor and noticed the location of the Tesseract.

"Oh my God." I said shocked at the location. Stark Tower. Suddenly a huge bang resounded throughout the hellicarrier and everyone went flying. I ended up landing on someone. I looked down and saw Tony underneath me.

"Well, I wish this was under better circumstances." Tony said.

As important as the situation is, I couldn't help but say back, "Sorry, don't sleep with anyone before the first date." Tony ended up laughing at that. I blushed and got off him and sat for a minute on the floor. I had a wave of nausea hit me and I felt groggy. God, I hope I didn't have a concussion.

"Put on the suit!" Steve said.

"Yep!" Tony said and he helped me up. "You okay?"

"Yeah. I'm good." I said, shaking the grogginess out of my head. We then headed out and left the lab. We suddenly heard that Engine 3 was down and needed to be fixed.

"Stark! You copy that!" Nick said over the comlink.

"I'm on it!" Tony exclaimed. We then headed to Engine 3. "Find engine 3. I'll meet you there." Steve and I nodded and headed to Engine 3 while Tony went to suit up.

Meria's POV

Barton and I had gotten off the hellicarrier as Barton barked orders, "Get the engine down! Detention! Get him through the dark! Come with me." He motioned to two men as all four of us headed to the bridge. I could feel Loki's magic on this carrier. I was one step closer to getting Loki by my side once more.

"Leave Loki to me. Keep the distraction going." I said.

"Are you sure, ma'am?" Barton asked and I nodded. Barton nodded and then went to do his duty. I continued on, following his magic. It helps when you and your soulmate's magic intwined together. I followed it down until I came to a chamber room. I smiled in relief as I saw Loki standing there.

"Loki." I said walking up to the cell he was in.

"Hello, my dear." Loki gave me his smile he reserved for me.

"I'm glad your safe. Now how do I get you out of this?" I asked.

"There's a control panel that will release me." Loki motioned to the panel. I went over and looked at the controls. Using my magic, I manipulated the system and made it release Loki out his prison. I rushed over and quickly kissed him hard, him kissing me back just as hard.

"I know it was part of the plan, but I hated being without you." I explained.

"I agree, my dear. Is the machine ready?" Loki asked. I nodded.

"Yes, Selvig has it up and running. Now we just need you to be there." I said. Loki gave me this mischievous smirk.

"Our glory is close at hand." Loki said. We suddenly heard footsteps and Loki put up a mirage in the cell and we moved out of the way. I then watched as Thor came down and attacked the mirage, falling into the cell. A part of me hurt at seeing him again.

Loki then closes the cell and we stood on the other side of the cell. "Are you ever not going to fall for that?" I then walked over and stood next to Loki.

"Meria, is this where you've been? We have all been looking for you." Thor asked, surprised and relieved to see me from how he looked at me.

"Have you really?" I asked, a little angry. "It didn't feel like it to me!" I added.

"Meria, what has happened to you?" Thor asked.

"You want to know what happened. I was tor-," I began to say until I felt an electric pulse run through my body. I cried out and nearly collapsed but Loki grabbed me and held me steady. I had forgotten about this device in my neck.

"Meria, dear, there is no need to tell him anything." Loki explained to me softly.

"Loki, what is wrong with her?" Thor asked once more. Loki elected to ignore him and brought us over to the control panel for the cell as Thor attempted to escape with Mjolnir. He cracked the cell window but that was all. If it was some other glass, it would have surely broke. Thor stepped back shocked.

"The humans think us Immortal. Should we test that?" Loki asked instead.

"Move away please." A voice said, we looked and saw a man with a huge gun in his hands. We both moved away from the control panel, well me, stumbled a bit. "You like this? We started working on the prototype after you sent The Destroyer. Even I don't know what it does. Do you wanna find out?" He asked.

Suddenly, the mirage of Loki that was next to me disappeared and Loki ended up behind him and stabbed him with the sceptor.

"Nooo!" Thor yelled from the cell. I just looked away. The man slumped to the ground with the gun and Loki moved towards me and the panel. Loki gave Thor one last look and pressed the switch and opened the latch, Thor falling from the carrier.

"Come, my love." Loki said. I nodded and he grabbed my hand and we began to leave when we heard, "You're gonna lose." Loki released my hand and turned around and asked, "Am I?"

"It's in your nature." The man said. You had to give him credit, he still stood up to my husband in his dying breath.

"Your heroes are scattered, your floating fortress falls from the sky...where is my disadvantage?" Loki asked as he walked towards him.

"You lack conviction." The man said.

"I don't think I-," Loki was cut off as a blast from that gun shot and hit him, sending him flying through the wall.

"So, that's what it does."

"Loki!" I yelled as I ran through the hole in the wall. I helped him sit up and he groaned in anger.

"I'm gonna finish him." Loki said angrily.

"Don't. Let's just go. We have somewhere else to be." I explained. Loki was quiet for a moment but nodded and he stood up. He grabbed my hand and we left to head to the transportation for us.

Amber's POV

I took down another turned soldier as Tony was fixing the engine. Steve had gotten tied up with another soldier and Tony had already started moving the rotors.

"Cap, Pyro, I need the lever!" Tony yelled.

"I need a minute here!" Steve said while fighting.

I tried to run to the lever but another soldier popped up and tried to shoot at me. "I'm trying to get there as fast as I can. A little tied up at the moment." I said over the comlink. I quickly shot a fireball at him while I had a chance and sent him flying backwards. I rushed to the lever and pulled it. I watched Tony as he flew out of the rotors and even himself out. "You good, Tony?" I asked.

"Yeah, now that I know my favorite Pyro Chick saved me." Tony said.

"Oh, now it's Pyro Chick instead of Pyro Girl? Is that supposed to be an upgrade?" I asked sarcastically.

"Well, I could call you Hotstuff." Tony joked.

"Don't even think about it." I said instantly.

"Agent Coulson is down." We heard over the com-link. I froze in my tracks. What?

"Where is he?" I asked in a panic.

"Caine, I don't think-," Nick started but I interrupted him, "WHERE IS HE?" It was quiet for a moment before Nick said, "Detention Cell." I rushed to the detention cell and arrived just in time as they loaded Phil onto a gurney.

"They called it." Nick said and I felt my world shatter at that moment and I lost it.

"Nooooo!" I yelled out. I suddenly felt arms around me, metal arms. I knew it was Tony. "No!" I cried out, tears streaming down my face as I felt like collapsing. The only thing holding me up was Tony. Why? Why did he have to die?
