Loki laughed and descended the stairs.
"Wonderful to see you all. Although the last time we met, things were…different." He stood next to the Master. "Of course, you've already met the Time lord, but I see you have one as well." Loki nodded. "Doctor."
The Master pursed his lips. "Makes everything even now, doesn't it?"
The Doctor frowned. "But how? Why?"
"Oh, it's simple really." The Master held up a microphone and his voice echoed: "I needed the help! Loki has had experience on taking over the Earth, and even though it failed, well…at least he had the experience," the Master stopped behind Loki and gave a devilish smile. "And what would I do without my knowledgeable Asgardian?"
Loki said nothing, but slightly returned the smile with a raised eyebrow as he glanced over his shoulder.
Fury raised his gun. "We don't have time for your games."
"Oh, but we have plenty of time!" Loki lifted his arm to the wall behind him. "Especially when the human race is at our disposal."
The Master, who was now standing by the wall, pressed a button, and revealed cameras from S.H.I.E.L.D satellites. Actually, all the satellites.
People all over Earth were now frozen, standing motionless. In the middle of streets, in houses, parking lots. Everywhere.
"Look at them!" The Master put down the microphone and placed his hand under his chin. "Perfect human slaves."
"All that they're made for, of course!" Loki chimed in.
"Did you learn nothing from the last time you tried to turn everyone into slaves?" Fury asked. "It doesn't work. We will stop you."
"Loki, you cannot do this," Thor was saying. "It is not right!"
"You are not the one who tells me from right or wrong!" Loki glared.
"Now, now," the Master held up his hands. "Let's not get into family affairs. Speaking of family, Doctor! What do you have to say about all of this? I know you must be thinking something."
Everyone turned to face the Doctor, and immediately stepped back. The Doctor was seething, too angry for words. He was so angry he was shaking. Even Loki and the Master were unsettled.
"Now I am only going to say this once," the Doctor growled. "Stop the drums, and leave. Don't think, just leave. Run away in however you got here, and never return." He stepped forward, so that he was just feet away from the Master. "I offered for you to come with me, and you denied. I thought you were dead. And you're reverting, this isn't right and you know it. And Loki," his face turned, glare full of fire, "I am so disappointed in you."
The two villains were speechless. It was the Master who snapped out of his trance first.
"Well, sorry for your disappointment, but we're on a schedule, and we must not be late for it!" The Master smiled maniacally, and pressed a button. The Avengers' muscles tensed, ready for whatever was to come out. A door opened, and out came…
"Yes! SHIELD agents! One of your finest. You know, you really should have made the carrier sound proof from the outside noise that could occur." He tapped a rhythm on the wall. "Like a catchy song. Only hypnotizing."
Over 1,000 agents filed into the space. Hawkeye retracted his bow, Thor swung his hammer, Captain America held up his shield, and Natasha loaded her gun.
"No, No! Don't harm them! They're still the agents that work for SHIELD!" The Doctor cried.
"Look at them," Loki stated. "So obedient."
The Master nodded. "Not to mention synchronized."
The Master and Loki then looked down from the step where they were standing.
"Kill them," they both ordered.
The SHIELD agents loaded they're guns.
"Have fun!" The Master said. He then lifted his wrist, and with a turn of his transporter, the two antagonists disappeared with the malicious smiles plastered on their faces.
The Avengers were conflicted.
"So how are we doing this?"
"Well, we can't shoot them!"
"Martha, Jack, get back in the TARDIS."
"We're not going anywhere."
"Doctor, any ideas?"
"Only one! Captain Rogers!"
"Yes sir?"
"Cover me!"
Steve placed the shield in the line of fire as the agents began firing their guns. The Avengers backed behind the TARDIS, while Steve and the Doctor made their way toward the wall. The Doctor picked up the microphone.
"Cover your ears!" He yelled.
"What?"
He pulled out his sonic screwdriver and turned it on. He then flipped on the microphone and merged the two together. The sound was deafening. The screech filled everyone's ears, and the shooting stopped.
"Blimey, give us a warning next time!" Martha screamed.
"I did! You just didn't hear me. Thank you, Captain, for the assistance." The Doctor smiled, and then raced to the spot where Loki and the Master transported. "AHA! Still traces of the transport if the sonic screwdriver can lock onto their position…ah, there you are!"
"Uh, Doctor…what happened to the Agents?" Jack asked.
The Doctor looked up. "Oh! The drumming in their ears was the thing that kept them hypnotized. Replace the drumming with the loud noise from the microphone, boom! The drumming get's replaced with ringing."
The agents were standing, still not moving. "But why aren't they…?"
"Oh, the drumming's still there. The ringing's just a temporary replacement. Besides, the sound has to be depleted from the source. And to do that, we have to find it."
"The source being the Master?"
"Correct!"
"So how do we find him?"
The Doctor smiled. "Just step on the stairs."
Fury was fed up. "Doctor, what does that have to do with-"
"The stairs are a control panel. I have they're signal. We need to follow them to shut them down!"
Suddenly, a bullet ricocheted off the wall.
"The ringing's wearing off! Hurry!"
Everyone got on the stairs.
"You ready for this Mister Barton?" Martha asked Clint.
"If you are, I am, Doctor Jones."
They both smiled.
A rain of bullets were sounding off.
"Oh, time to go." The Doctor raised the sonic screwdriver, then hesitated.
"What's wrong?" Steve asked.
The Doctor turned around and smiled.
"I never knew I wanted to say this until now." He then turned around.
"Allons-y, Avengers!"
He pressed the button on the screwdriver, and the transport came to life, making them disappear before the agents actually got their aim correct.
