Steve POV

Steve was confused.

He wasn't sure if it had to do with his recent discovery Norse Gods actually existing or the fact that witches actually exist. He thought back to the fiery young woman, no older than twenty-five, who fought with the strength of a lion but with the laziness of a house cat.

So much had happen in the past 24 or so hours that he hadn't yet processed the actual what that had happened but now that he had some time to process everything as he waited for the meeting to start, he was going to use it.

Looking back now Steve should have realized something odd going on since he had remembered the young witch with, wavy, sandy brown hair when they first met outside on the ship but then saw her again later on, on the way to Germany to confront Loki, with short, electric blue hair.

Then he accepted the fact that witches, wizards, flying broomsticks and magic exist and are now a thing. His proof being the tanned, petite, young woman no taller than 5'6, with strange amber eyes, and ever changing hair, who apparently poked at and annoyed Dr. Banner for fun, fully aware of the possible consequences.

Steve wasn't yet sure where the young woman stood with him, at the beginning he suppose she was nice and she had seemed welcoming but as he had observed her more, the more closed off and bitter she was towards maybe him or possibly the entire ship, and then she was all snappy after he tried to protect her from the befuddled thunder god.

So yeah Steve was confused, and now his definition for confused was largely broadened.

Then there was Stark, he read his file that SHIELD had given him and he was a bit disappointed seeing that Howard's son turned out to be pretentious and reckless.

Steve sighed and relaxed into his chair when the doors to the brig slid open to reveal the nervous doctor and the witch, arms linked together, as the woman's cloak billowed behind her.

"Bruce you've met Capsicle." Came Andy's familiar accent and Steve couldn't help but twitch at the nickname.

"But I bet ya haven't met Thor over there, but we shall now call him Violent One With Hammer." The witch continued, jumping (yes jumping), into one of the chairs with Bruce trailing not far behind greeting Thor with a small wave of his hand.

Bruce stood behind the chair Andy chose, which was near one of the windows and Andy looked up at the doctor, "Biscuit?" She murmured. He shrugged and held out a hand which Andy grinned at before handing one to him.

She perched her feet on the edge of her seat and smiled merrily, changing her once long and sandy hair to a short viridian green.

Bruce rolled his eyes when she added purple tips and Steve could barely hear Banner whisper to Andy, "It was one time."

"And The Hulk never looked better. The purple really complements his eyes." Andy drawled, "Why you're wearing a purple shirt right now." She added, as the purple tips became more vibrant.

"That's because it's comfortable!" Bruce protested.

Steve observed the two quietly as they began to bicker, then the monitors on the table lit up.

Steve turned to listen and snapped back to the mission.

"This is like watching a bloody dog fight." Andy whispered to Bruce, "Or those fights when two men argue about whose reproductive organ are bigger."

Bruce choked on what seemed to be air. "Andy. No."

"It's true." Andy said strongly before turning back to the screen.

"Built for something a lot stronger than you." Fury said to Loki.

Loki laughed, "Oh I've heard," and looked at the camera, "the mindless beast makes play he's still a man,"

Andy bristled and Bruce patted her shoulder comfortingly.

"And possibly for the mutt you have roaming around freely." Andy froze and Loki continued, smirking once at the camera before turning to Fury.

"A word to the wise director, you should keep animals leashed." The god said breezily.Andy shrank in her chair, (quite literally, she actually appeared smaller than she was before) but she growled menacingly to the screen.

Natasha glanced at her and almost paled.

"You guys made a cage?" Andy said in a strained voice and let loose a small chuckle, "Fan-fucking-tastic. Is it comfortable?" she growled maniacally as she glared at Natasha.

Natasha shifted slightly and didn't respond, focusing all of her attention to Fury's interrogation.

Andy repressed a more feral growl and even Bruce's comforting hand couldn't stop the rage bubbling in her chest.

First she finds out that the people she placed her trust in decided to tag her, then Clint is brainwashed by the god of Mischief who now Andy realizes isn't just a mass murderer but is also a complete ass.

Andy tried to keep calm, she really did, but in all honesty she was better at calming others down, Bruce was the one who was good at calming down his own person.

Loki gloated and looked at the camera once more to smirk and Andy snapped.

The young witch stood slowly and dusted herself, hair now a flurry of colors, she need to vent now.

"Andy-?" Bruce began, his sentence dying away as he caught sight of feral yellow eyes, before they disappeared in a blur, followed by the sharp crack of an apparation.

"Oh crap." Bruce muttered, as he looked to the screen just in time to see Andy's hand connect with Loki's slightly surprised face.

Andy apparated in front of Loki and did what any sensible woman would do; she slapped him across the face.

Andy waited for the god to compose himself and pointedly ignored Fury who was now calling her name loudly for outside of the glass prison.

Andy casted a quick silencing spell and looked at the mad god a few feet in front of her.

The young witch needed to vent but she wasn't so angry that she would do something as stupid as letting Howler out just to beat Loki up, but morphing her eyes to take on a similar shade of feral yellow as well as making her hair deep red and thick helped with the dramatics.

"Hiya." Andy said, sharpening her canines to flash him her most intimidating grin. "I don't think we were introduced properly."

He smirked, and Andy clenched her teeth, still smiling, "Yes, but I believe it isn't necessary to exchange pleasantries with animals." Loki said, "Besides, I know everything I need to about you, half breed."

Andy whistled, "Haven't heard that term in a while." She murmured staring at the god intensely.

Loki felt pressure at the back of his mind before it quickly disappeared.

Andy suddenly began giggling madly, "However I'm really more of a quarter breed, runt." She said bitingly, waving her right hand and summoning a small stream of, the stream shrank into itself before becoming a thin tread of flame, golden in color. The tread danced from its creator's hand and began circling around the God of Mischief.
Loki's eyes narrowed slightly but didn't say anything as the two magical began to stare each other down.

It was Andy's turn to smirk now, "Dude, what's wrong? Can't handle the heat?" she drawled

Loki continued to stare the witch down, making sure to not touch the threads of flame circling his body.

Andy hummed, "Now tell me little Frosti." She murmured, "Sould I address you by Odinson or Laufeyson."

Loki glared at her and she winked, "Hit something there, huh?" She teased moving to the door of the prison as gracefully as she could.

"Now that we introduced ourselves you wanna chat more?" She purred but Loki didn't respond.

"I'll take that as a no." She snarked, turning on her heels and apparating on the opposite side of the door, "See you when I see you Frosti." And with that she made her way out of the room and if Loki hadn't been so shocked he would have noticed how pale Andy looked as she made she way out the door.

As soon as the door closed Andy managed a few steps forward in confidence before her hair drooped to her normal sandy brown and her eyes turned back to their warm amber color.

"Aw crap." She mumbled, as her legs gave out and she fell towards the ground, gripping her head with both hands.

But she didn't hit the ground and instead fell into two, surprisingly strong arms.

"Andromeda?" Came a soft voice.

"Nicholas?" Andy grumbled in confusion.

"Gosh no, do I really sound like him?" Replied the voice.

Andy's vision cleared and she saw purple, "Hey Bruce, whend you git here." She slurred.

"Agent Romanov brought us here when you apparated into Loki's prison." He said softly.

"Us?" Andy muttered.

"FAIR MAIDEN ARE YOU INJURED?" Thor then decided to boom.

Andy curled into herself and whimpered, "Please stop yelling." She whined and Thor closed his mouth.

"What happened?" Steve whispered.

"He knew stuff about me, probably because he made Clint tell him, which is bad because Loki probably asked for weaknesses too which is really bad because weaknesses are, well, weaknesses and it's worse because we don't know anything about him." Andy began rambling, "If we make it seem as if we know a lot about him already, we place some doubt in his mind as to who truly holds the upper hand. To do that I used legilimency to try and find weaknesses but all I was able to do was find some family problems and hate and anger and something so cold and jagged. And there's just so. Much. Hate." Andy breathed and tears began to form in her eyes.

"And he's really fricken strong. His magic managed to overwhelm me and for a second I thought I was going to be sucked into his madness." Andy giggled through the tears running down her face and Bruce just hugged her tightly.

"Bruce I want to go home." Andy sobbed softly so only he could hear.

"I know, I know." Bruce said as he continued to comfort his companion, quickly Andy's silent crying died down and she relaxed in Bruce's arms, asleep.

Completely ignoring Thor, Steve and Fury, Bruce turned to Natasha. "Can you bring some blankets and a few pillows to the lab I'll be working at?" He asked.

Natasha nodded and Bruce stood up with Andy in his arms.

As they made a move towards the hallway Tony spotted them, "Hey, I've been looking for you guy's, what happened?" He said as he looked at the exhausted Andy cradled in Bruce's arms.

"I'll explain later Mr. Stark," Bruce said tiredly but with a small smile, "but if you don't mind I'd like to get her comfortable." He added, as Natasha held the elevator door impatiently.

"Of course." Tony said, turning to follow Bruce to the elevator, "I'd shake your hand if you weren't occupied but it's good to meet you Dr. Banner." He addressed, "Your work on anti-electron collisions is unparalleled and I'm a huge fan of the way you transform into an enormous, green, rage monster."

The two scientist turned a corner, their voices growing fainter before disappearing completely.

The hallway was silent for a moment before Steve's voice broke through, "Is that what just happened?"

Andy awoke to the sound of Bruce yelping in surprise followed by another man's muffled alarmed exclamation of, "Hey!".

"Whats wrong!?" Andy exclaimed, eyes snapping open and sitting up quickly, immediately regretting it as her vision swam.

"Andy!" Came Bruce's voice, his footstep's coming closer, "Easy, easy." He said as he kneeled down to gently lay Andy down again.

The ground, Andy decided, was far too comfortable to be called the ground and she curled her fingers in what seemed to be fabric.

"The ground's soft." Andy said stupidly, eyes squinting against the florescent lighting.

Bruce laughed slightly, "I asked Agent Romanov to bring some blankets and pillows to the lab I'm working in, I made you a makeshift bed."

Andy nodded and burrowed into the much appreciated pillow under her head.

Then she began to power on, and remembered why she had woken up in the first place, "Are you alright? I heard yelling" she muttered, trying to force her eyes to open fully.

"Huh? Oh Mr. Stark poked me with a pointy thing."

"Oh, that's okay then." Andy said tiredly, she tugged on Bruce's sleeve.

"Can you help me move to a work bench?" she asked blinking rapidly, trying to dispel the sleep from her eyes.

"No, you need rest." Bruce said sternly.

"I just think things are gonna get a bit heated now that Capsicle's here." She whined as she stubbornly sat up, glancing at the ticked off Captain. "So...I don't know, I may be just a tad curious, or something."

Bruce sighed, "Bring a pillow with you." He said in resignation as he helped Andy up.

Andy rolled her eyes, "A mother hen is all you are in the end." She muttered but complied, clutching a pillow to her chest as Bruce led her to a chair.

"Agent Lupin." Steve greeted.

"Call me, Andy or Miss Lupin, if I hear someone one call me an Agent one more time I swear on Honeyduke's Finest someone will cry." Andy growled crankily dropping the pillow on the table and siting on a chair between the two scientists.

Bruce looked at Steve apologetically, "Sorry about her, she's always cranky right after she wakes up." he said.

Andy pouted, took the pointed rod out of Tony's hand and poked Bruce in the side.

Bruce jumped slightly and glared at Andy lightly, who just whistled innocently, rod twirling between her right hand while Steve looked mildly horrified.

"Are both of you nuts!?" Steve asked Tony and Andy.

Tony ignored him and faced Andy, "So what's his secret," he said gesturing to Bruce, "mellow jazz. Bongo drums? Huge bag of weed?"

Andy giggled as she propped one of her elbow's on the pillow before cradling her head in her hand. "He dabbles." She replied lazily and Bruce sputtered.

"Is everything a joke to you?" Steve snapped.

"Funny things are." Tony retorted.

"Threatening the lives of the people aboard this ship isn't funny." Steve said coldly, the captain paused, "No offense doc."

Andy looked at the captain hollowly but Bruce cleared his throat, "No, no, it's alright. I wouldn't have come aboard if I couldn't handle pointy thing." He intervened forcing Andy to drop Steve's previous comment, however the young witch managed to land a glare at Steve, who in turn rounded on Tony who had begun talking again.

"-you need to strut." Tony addressed Bruce.

"See? I'm not the only one who thinks so-" Andy went to agree, causing Bruce to roll his eyes, "And how many people have you gotten an opinion from again?" he retorted.

Andy pouted, "But he's Tony Stark." She seethed, Bruce rolled his eyes.

"You need to focus on the problem Mr. Stark." Steve said authoritatively.

Tony scoffed, "You think I'm not? Why did Fury call us in? Why now? Why not before? What isn't he telling us? I can't solve a problem without all the variables."

Andy perked up, conjuring a cup of water and taking a sip, while Bruce pretended not to listen on as he busied himself with scans.

"You think Fury's lying to us?" Steve questioned.

Andy choked and looked at him incredulously, "Capsicle, he's a spy. The Spy. His bloody secrets are secrets wrapped in secrets. You can't have been so naive to haven't questioned the hippogriff shit he's been feeding us." She said with wide eyes.

Tony nodded in agreement, "Exactly my point Sabrina." He said and Andy's eyebrows furrowed, "That's not my name." she said in confusion.

"It was a television show about a witch." Bruce mumbled to her.

Tony came back from a corner of the room with a bag of blueberries and a smirk on his face, "It's bugging him too." he said gesturing to Bruce, "Isn't it?"

Bruce looked flustered and Andy's triumphant smile turned sheepishly, as the doctor gestured vaguely at his work station. "I just want to finish my work here and-" he trailed off.

"Doctor?" Steve asked.

Andy patted Bruce's hand encouragingly and the man sighed taking off his glasses, "'A warm light for all man kind', Loki's jab at the director about the cube." He started.

"I heard it." Steve assured.

"Well I think that was meant for you." Bruce said as he gestured to Tony.

Tony offered him some blueberries and Bruce shrugged, taking a few.

"Even if Barton didn't tell Loki about the Tower it was still all over the news." The physicist said, offering Andy some blueberries as he went on.

"The Stark Tower?" Steve said incredulously, "That big ugly-"

Tony looked at him unbelievingly and Andy scoffed, "Smooth." She said through a mouthful of berries.

"building in New York." Steve finished.

"It's powered by an Arc Reactor, a self-sustaining, energy source." Bruce explained looking down to fiddle with his glasses, "That building will what? Run itself for a year?" He asked Tony, and Andy smiled at the subtle look of awe in Bruce's eyes.

"And it's just a prototype." He said smugly.

Andy grinned, "Wicked."

"You bet it is Elphaba." Tony joked and Andy blinked in confusion.

"That's not my name." She said wonderingly, "I don't understand, is Andy really so hard for you?" She asked worriedly.

Tony laughed before clearing his throat, "Anyway," he said, turning back to Steve, "I'm sort of the only name in clean energy right now, that's what Dr. Banner's getting at."

"So that begs the question as to why SHIELD didn't bring him into the tessaract project in the first place." Andy said tiredly, face now smothered in her pillow.

Bruce rolled his eyes with a small smile and built off what Andy was saying, "What's SHIELD doing in the energy business in the first place?" He asked Steve.

Andy held up her arm for a high five and Bruce tapped it lightly in amusement.

Tony walked around, "I should probably look into that more once my decryption program finishes breaking into SHIELD's secure files." Tony said breezily.

Steve looked bewildered and both Bruce and Andy looked impressed.

"What?" Steve said dangerously but Tony brushed him off.

"JARVIS has been running it as soon as I hit the Bridge, in a few hours I'll know every dirty secret SHIELD has ever tried to hide." Tony continued, "Blueberry?" He offered

"Yet you're confused as to why they didn't want you around?" Steve said condescendingly ignoring the offered snack.

"An intelligence organization that fears intelligence? Historically not awesome." Tony replied.

"I think Loki's trying to wind us up, this a man who's trying to start a war and if we don't stay focused he'll succeed." Steve said patiently, "We have orders, we should follow them."

"Following orders has never really been my style." Tony snarked.

Steve scoffed, "And your all about style aren't you." he said bitingly.

"Says the guy in patriotic spandex." Andy grumbled from her pillow, "I pledge allegiance, to that ass, because let's face it, it is glorious." She trailed off and Tony laughed a little, looking down at the woman with a smirk.

Bruce rolled his eyes again as Andy brought her arm up and Tony gave it an enthusiastic high-five.

The physicist sighed and looked at Steve, "Steve, tell me this doesn't smell a little funky to you?" He said.

Steve looked at them hard, "Just find the cube." He finally said before storming out.

"He's so endearingly naive yet so very, very annoying." Andy murmured sleepily.

"You seem like you hate him." Bruce said as he leaned on the table, forearms propped on the cold white surface as he looked at Andy.

"Oh I wouldn't say hate," Andy said turning her face sideways on the pillow so that she could face the doctor, "It's just that he's a bit suffocating and rule following, and you can understand my problem with a SHIELD following, golden boy right now." And Bruce nodded slightly in agreement.

Tony sighed, "That's the guy my dad never shut up about?" He said, "I'm wondering now if they shoulda kept him on ice."

"Phil would taser you for that." Andy mumbled, smiling and smothering her face into the pillow again.

"He's not wrong about Loki though." Bruce pointed out, "He does have the jump on us."

Tony scoffed, "What he's got is an ACME dynamite kit. It's gonna blow up in his face and I'm gonna be there when it does." He said smugly.

"What makes you think that?" Andy asked, "Anything could happen, he could have the upper hand for all we know."

Tony thought, "Well Fury's super-secret boy band obviously has this in the bag." He finally answered.

Andy looked up from her pillow, "Boy band?" She said, her brows furrowing and her hair turning purple.

Tony looked at her hair, "Eh it's just some group of misfits." He brushed off.

The three exchanged glances before Tony finally asked, "Does her hair..."

"Yes." Both Andy and Bruce replied.

Tony looked conflicted, "How..?"

Andy laughed and sat up straighter, "Magic." She said, "Didn't you wonder how my hair was a different color these past hours?"

Tony shrugged and crossed his arms, "I don't know I guess I just thought you really liked to style your hair."

Andy looked pleased and yawned, "What time is it?" she said tiredly.

Bruce looked at his watch, "About 3:30 am, you slept for about three hours."

"Oh that's awesome." Andy drawled slipping off the bench and basically crawled back to her bed/nest.

"Good morning Andy." Bruce said as he went back to his work, Tony looking on in mild amusement as the witch practically buried herself underneath the blankets.

"Mornin Greenbean." Andy murmured, hearing Bruce sputter in protest before falling asleep.
