AUTHOR NOTE: Hi and I want to say thank you to those of you who sent me kind words of support and to those that have kept me in their thoughts. Thank you so much. Now this chapter was suposed to be longer but because I felt like you all waited so long for a chapter here it is. Part 2 will be up fast.

Also the short story series "All Down Hill" is up. Go check it out and if you have a prompt idea please leave it for me in a review for either story or PM me.

Natasha Romanoff looked at the scene before her as she hovered above in the stealth jet. The blue figure that was Captain America, Steve Rogers, and the figure with the trimmed gold, Loki, where moving around too fast. She couldn't get a lock on fast enough to shoot and didn't want to risk hitting Steve. The last time she shot she almost hit him. She watched as Steve was tossed to the side on the dark ground.

As she pondered her situation she swore she heard music playing through her headset. Suddenly the faint sound of a guitar turned louder as she looked down at her control panels to see ACCESS SPEAKER OVERRIDE in large red letters.

"Agent Romanoff," Came a static filled voice.

Natasha smirked. She hadn't heard that voice in awhile, yet she knew it to be Tony Stark.

"Miss me?" he said and soon the music that was once just heard in her headset blared out through the ship's speakers.

" 'Shoot to Kill', really Mr. Stark?" came another voice that sounded slightly exasperated.

On the ground Loki and Steve looked up to see where the music was coming from. Just then two figures came speeding towards them. One left a trail of red and yellow light while the other was dark and thinner than the first but outlined in green light. A large beam shot out of the larger figure and hit Loki dead on. He shot back towards the steps of the museum as the figures landed on the ground.

Loki looked up and started to run towards his staff that had gotten knock out of his hand from the blast. He only made it two steps before he saw the smaller figure make a fist and then push towards him. He was then slammed into the ground at such a speed, the concrete beneath him cracked. Tony then walked over towards him and opened up all of his missile and cannon blasters on his suit while Vanessa stood with her hands up ready to blast Loki back further if she had to.

"Make your move Reindeer Games." Said Tony as Steve rushed to the pair's side.

Loki looked up at the trio as his helmet and golden embellishments began to disappear as he put his hands up in surrender.

"Good move." Said Tony as he put all of the weaponry offline.

The three stood there for a moment before the sound of the carrier landing filled the silence.

"Mr. Stark." Said Steve as he nodded towards him.

"Captain." He replied.

The carrier landed and both Tony and Steve grabbed Loki and boarded him on. The group rode in silence for a while as they flew in the night sky. Vanessa noticed that the sky was brighter tonight due to a full moon and that is made the normally black inky sky a very beautiful midnight blue. She would have rather been flying outside then have to be on the same ship as this crazy Norse god.

Vanessa, who along with Tony took off her helmet a while ago, sat opposite of Loki while Steve and Tony stood by the pilot's seats. Her eyes wandered around the cabin looking at various things until she began to feel a pair of eyes on her. She looked up to see Loki staring at her.

"Is there something on my face?" said Vanessa "Because I may have a hole there now since you keep on staring at me like that."

Loki just smirked, "I would like to know how you did that."

"How I did what?"

"How you managed to push me into ground. You did not move towards me or even touch me. I must say that what you have is very useful."

"Too bad you won't find out how it's done." Said Vanessa as she got up from her seat and moved over to Steve and Tony.

She crossed her arms as she glanced back at Loki again and pushed up her glasses. "Hey, how much longer is this ride? He's starting to creep me out and annoy me at the same time."

"Sorry about that ma'am." Said Steve as he looked down at Vanessa. "It shouldn't be that much farther."

"Thanks." she said as she looked up at Steve, took another glance at Loki, and looked back up at Steve. He was a handsome man and those pictures in the files Vanessa reviewed did him no justice in person. His hair was a golden blond and he had very shinny blue eyes. He looked like a poster child for American heroism from the 1950s. How fitting.

"By the way, doesn't anyone else think it's strange that he didn't put up much of a fight? I mean I don't remember taking anyone like that down being that easy."

"Well still you are very spry for a older fellow. What's your thing? Pilates?"

Steve gave Tony and annoyed confused stare as Vanessa hid her face in her hand.

"What?"

"It's like calestetics. You may have missed some things, you know, spending time as a Capsicle."

Steve's expression didn't change but Vanessa could practically see his tolerance for Tony almost wipeout.

"Pardon me." Said Vanessa with a smile at Steve as she quickly turned and smacked Tony upside the head.

"Oww! What was that for?" he said rubbing the spot.

"Stop being rude Mr. Stark." Whispered Vanessa.

"How many times do I have to tell you not "Mr. Stark" Tony. Come on say it with me."

He grabbed Vanessa's cheeks and pushed them together moving them and her mouth.

"Tooonnyyy. Tooonnny."

Vanessa smacked his hand down and gave his a hard glare. Before she could utter another scolding the plane suddenly jerked as thunder and lighting rang and light up the sky.

"Where did this come from?" said Natasha.

As everyone looked around Steve saw Loki look a little bit anxious.

"What's the matter? Afraid of a little lightning?"

Loki looked at the three, "I'm not overly fond of what follows." He said slowly.

At that moment the plane jerked again but this time more violently, and something sounded as if it landed on the top of the plane. Steve, Tony and Vanessa quickly put back on their headgear as Natasha stabilized the plane. As Vanessa put on her helmet and her screen came to life she saw Tony hit the ramp door open.

"Mr. Stark are you crazy!" she shouted.

Just then a blond man with a red flowing cape landed on the ramp. With a hammer in his hand he looked just about furious to Vanessa. As he walked closer Tony raised up his hand ready to fire a repulsor beam. Instead the man quickly thrust his hammer at Tony and he went flying to the back of the plane and crashing into Steve.

"Tony!" came Vanessa. She then quickly thrust her hands at the blond man and he suddenly went flying out of the plane. It was only at that point that she realized he had another person with him, the only other person who was missing on the plane: Loki.

Tony quickly got up and headed towards the still open cargo hatch.

"He took Loki. We need a plan." Said Vanessa quickly but paused when she saw Tony. "Tony we need a plan."

"Who the hell was that guy?"

"Another Assguardian?" came Natasha who was once again trying to steady the plane.

"You think these guys are friendly?" came Steve as he got himself up.

"Doesn't matter if we loose Loki the tesseract is lost." He said getting closer to the open hatch.

"Tony are you crazy? I just said we need a plan!"

"She's right Stark. We can't just rush in there we need a plan of attack!"

"I have a plan, attack." He said as he bolted out of the plane.

"He's gonna get himself killed." Said Vanessa growling as she ran off of the plane and fell into the clouds. The sound of Steve calling her name drifting as the rushing wind took over her ears. She quickly started up her flight stabilizers and focused on going faster as she tried to follow the smoke trail Tony left behind.
