Loki looked up as the howl of a wolf and the roar of the Hulk sounded together. He had made Thor's precious Wolfe so angry that she wouldn't have control of her animal side for at least half an hour. Which was plenty of time for an eight foot wolf to cause absolute destruction.
Agent Romanoff moved quickly, the Hulk behind her, but she suddenly skidded to a halt. In front of her was a large white wolf, blood dripping a large gash on it's shoulder blade. It's eyes were hazel, not the blue Romanoff usually saw the wolf had. That was a bad sign. "Wolfe." Romanoff tried, glancing behind her as she heard the Hulk closing in. "Izzy." She tried, before gulping. Never once has she begged. "Please." She tried. The wolf's head snapped up, and it's eyes faded from hazel to their normal blue. Izzy grabbed the back of Romanoff's suit and used it to throw the spy to the next level up. Izzy let out a loud howl as the Hulk approached, before charging at the green raging monster, teeth bared and hackles raised.
A female agent screamed as a heavily bleeding giant wolf was thrown through the floor. One of it's legs was bent at a funny angle and it spat a large lump of green flesh out of it's mouth, before licking at the cold metal wall. Either the Hulk had messed up it's brain, or it was trying to get rid of the taste. The agent screamed again, as the bone in the wolf's injured leg moved back to it's normal position and healed it's self with a loud snap. The wolf howled and was answered with roar from below, before diving back through the hole it had created when it was thrown through the floor, with what looked to be the Wolf version of a grin.
Romanoff ran, the Hulk once again chasing after her, destroying everything in it's path. It sure did have something for her. The hulk reached out and just caught Romanoff with it's hand, sending her flying into a wall. She clutched at her side and watched in horror as the hulk approached ready to finish the job, when it was tackled by Thor and Izzy and sent flying through the wall opposite Romanoff, who let out a sigh of relief. Hulk and Thor sized each other up, while Izzy slinked back over to Romanoff and gently picked the injured agent up and tossed her on to her large furry back, before setting off as fast as she could in the opposite direction of the Hulk.
"Hostiles on the plane. Dressed in SHIELD clothing. We have the Hulk and Wolf lose. The Wolf is not dangerous. Repeat. Wolf is not dangerous. Do not attack." A voice said, filling the whole plane. Izzy raced past a window, having dropped Romanoff off somewhere both Izzy and the wolf deemed safe, but backtracked as she saw a SHIELD aircraft fling around the area she'd left Hulk and Thor at. The plane fired attracting the Hulk's attention, and Izzy winced as the Hulk threw it's self off of the Hellicarrier and at the plane, both of them crashing down to Earth. The pilot managed to eject in time, but the Hulk was thrown off the plane as it exploded.
"It's Barton. He's took out our system. He's heading to the detention level. Does anybody copy?" Natasha Romanoff was shaking, huddled in a ball where Izzy had left her. Running from the Hulk had been terrifying. She'd never been scared of death before, knowing she was better than most who would try to kill her. But she wouldn't of stood a chance against the Hulk. "This is Agent Romanoff." She said, touching her comm. "I copy." She got up and headed towards Barton, ready to get back her partner and clear the red of ledger.
Thor ran into the room with the glass cage in. "No!" He yelled, seeing the door slide open. He ran to tackle Loki, only to run straight through him and land in the cage. The door sealed shut behind him. "Are you ever not going to fall for that?" Loki asked, standing outside the cage. Thor hit the side of the cage with his hammer, causing the clamps to jolt. Loki chuckled, before walking over to the control pad. "The humans think us immortal." He said, "Should we test that?" He went to press the button, when the man he had with him hit the ground and a growl filled the air. He looked over to see Phil Coulson holding a very large gun, with a very large angry white wolf by his side. "Move away please." Phil said, pointing the large gun at Loki. Izzy snapped her teeth. Loki moved away and Phil walked forward, Izzy seemingly glued to his leg. "You like this?" He asked, moving the gun slightly. "We started working on the prototype after you sent the Destroyer." Phil paused, before shrugging. "Even I don't know what it does." A wolfy smirk crept on to Izzy's face and Loki sneered at the wolf, before glancing nervously at Phil. Who clicked a button, causing the gun to light up orange. "Want to find out?" He asked, glancing at Izzy who growled at Loki, her hackles raised. Something wasn't right. And she didn't like it. Suddenly a searing pain shot through Izzy's body, as Loki raised the scepter from behind her and brought it down on her body, nearly severing her in half, before stabbing Coulson in the back, the scepter coming out where his heart should of been on the other side. Izzy dropped to the ground, looking like something out of a horror movie as her inners began to spill out of her body. "NO!" Thor wailed, seeing his love turn back to human. Naked and dying. The Loki at the control pad vanished as Phil collapsed against the wall. He too was dying, blood pouring out of his heart. Somehow he manged to take of her jacket and lay it over Izzy, who was withering in pain on the ground next to him. Loki said nothing as he walked over to the control panel and pressed the button, causing the ground beneath the cage to slide away. Thor didn't even glance at his brother. His Izzy was lay on the floor, her blood staining the floor around her crimson, her blue eyes watching Thor, as her hand reached for him, but would never reach him. "I love you." She whispered, her hand hit the ground limply and the light faded out of her blue eyes. The withering from pain stopped, as did the rise and fall of her chest. Thor let out a cry. "I love you too." He whispered, placing his hand on the glass. "Sleep well my love." "How touching." Loki sneered, before pressing the button and dropping the cage, Thor still trapped in side. Thor's eyes darted over to his brother, seconds before the cage dropped. And in those few seconds, Thor swore vengeance. He was an Avenger. And he would avenge. Loki gazed at the whole he had just dropped his brother off before going to leave. "You're going to lose." Phil's weak voice stopped him in his tracks. "Am I?" Lokie asked, turning to look at the dying man. "It's in your nature." Phil replied. "Your heroes are scattered. Your floating fortress falls from the sky. Where is my disadvantage?" Loki asked. "You lack conviction." Phil replied. "And you killed their friend." He looked at Izzy. "Stark will not stop till he kills you in return of her death." He pulled the trigger of the gun, knowing Loki would not notice. "I don't think I-" Loki was cut off as a massive ball of orange energy shot out the end of gun and sent him flying through a wall. "So that's what it does." Phil said. "Phil" An English accent filled his ears, and he turned to see a translucent wolf standing above Izzy's body. "I don't want to be alone Phil." He smiled at the Wolf, which quickly turned into Izzy, dressed in to outfit she was wearing the very first time Phil had met her, while stealing away all her items from her hotel room. "Pull yourself together Phil!" She snapped. "Don't die! The Avengers need you! I'm gone, so who's going to look after them. Aand yes, this is a hallucination. I had one too. Though mine was Thor coming to save me. Just hold on Phil!" "I'm so tried Wolfe." He replied, his eyes starting to close. "I can't force you to stay alive." A cold hand touched his face. "So sleep Phil." "You are on of six friends I have." Phil murmured. "You, Fury, Hill, Stark, Barton and Romanoff." "Well your the uncle I never had. Now sleep tight Phil I'll be waiting." Phil opened his eyes to see the hallucination of Izzy fade, before everything went black.
"We are gathered here today to mourn the passing of Phil Coulson and Isabel Wolfe, who both gave their lives for the greater cause." The priest said. "Greater cause." Fury scoffed, from his seat in the back row. "More like to get a team of motherfuckers to work together." The ceremony dragged and Fury shook his head, knowing Wolfe and Coulson would both hate this. Thor read a speech, dressed in full Asgardian battle armor, which reduced all the women in the room to tears. And even Fury was a little moved by the speech Stark gave about them both. The rest of the Avengers sat silently in the pews. Hell, Barton hadn't even turned up, blaming himself for the deaths of his mentor and sort of friend. A senior agent slipped in through the church doors and sat down next Fury. "They're awake." He informed Fury. Who nodded and stood up as the ceremony ended. "Get me a plane." He said, touching his comm, before striding off.
Fury walked down a beach, the sun shining down on him crystal blue waves crashing on to the shore and white sand stretching as far as the eyes could see. But Fury wasn't here to look at the scenery. His eye was focused on the two figures lying on sun loungers surrounded by medical equipment. "Nick!" Izzy Wolfe exclaimed, raising a hand to wave, before going very pale and cringing in pain. Coulson smiled in greeting, before moving a chess piece. "It's good to see you both alive." Fury said. "Gonna take more than some loony Asgardian to keep up down." Izzy replied, before turning to Fury. "Tony and Bruce will be so curious about how you did this." "No they won't." Fury replied. Coulson raised an eyebrow. "The Avengers will not be told that you are alive." Fury stated. "What?!" Izzy roared, before yelping in pain and wincing as the bandage around her stomach turned from white till red. Instantly six nurses appeared and in a flurry of quick, expert movements, stopped the bleeding and changed the bandages, before hurrying off. "Why aren't the Avengers allowed to know?" Phil asked. "They're our team." "Not anymore. You've both been reassigned. Wolfe you start active duty as soon as you stomach heals." Fury replied. "But-" Izzy went to protest. "No buts!" Fury snapped. "You are a SHIELD agent now. You listen to my orders and you keep to them! The Avengers are not to know you are alive!" Izzy flinched and nodded. "Get well soon." Fury grunted, before turning and leaving.
"What you did was cruel and inhuman." The Doctor said, following Fury down a corridor. "You messed with life and death Nick Fury. That is not something we should be dabbling with." "It brought them back, didn't it?" Fury asked. "You didn't hear their screams. They begged for death. They asked me to kill them. To get rid of the pain they were going through." The Doctor replied. "And that is why you wiped that memory away." Fury snapped. "That is why we've locked them away in their own minds while they recover. That is why we gave them the will to live back." "Their screams haunt my nightmares." The Doctor admitted. "The look of terror they had on their faces while they watched that machine try to force life back into their body appears every time I close my eyes." "Then forget it." Fury growled. "I moved heaven and Earth to bring those two back! And it fucking worked! They are alive! I couldn't give a shit about your mental state as long as Phil Coulson and Izzy Wolfe are alive." "They were dead for days!" The Doctor protested. "People will realize! What happens when Stark next hacks your system and stumbles upon Project Ghost. He'd hate you for it." "He won't find out." Fury replied, before changing the subject. "That place, you've created in their minds, where is it?" He asked. "Coulson once told me he'd like to visit Tahiti." The Doctor replied. "Tahiti." Fury mused. "I've been told it's a magical place."
