Some of the dialogue from the movie "Thor" integrated into this chapter!

Dangerous – Depeche Mode

The things you do
Aren't good for my health
The moves you make
You make for yourself
The means you use
Aren't meant to confuse
Although they do
They're the one's that I would choose
I wouldn't want it any other way
You wouldn't let me any way

Nick Fury stared out of the window of his office. "We've got to plant some flowers or something."

"Sir?" Phil Coulson replied

"This building is plain. Tired of looking out of the window to see those damn bushes. If I've only one, I at least want a view."

Coulson chuckled softly "Yes sir..I'll see what I can do."

The intercom buzzed and Fury walked to his desk to answer "Yes Collette."

"Director Fury, Agent Watson is here." The disembodied female voice replied.

"Send her in." Fury responded.

Alex walked into the office and took the exact same seat she'd sat in when she first took her assignment. "Sir." She nodded to Fury and then smiled at Coulson "Phil."

"How are you doing, Lex?" Phil asked taking in her appearance as if he wanted to make sure she was in one piece.

"I'm good. Actually I'm great." She said smiling, thinking of Loki. She hadn't been gone long but she missed his face, as her father would say.

"The subject?" Fury said taking a seat.

"He's grumpy..still suffers some discomfort. He is currently going through physical therapy for both. We're working on his pain management but we've lowered his dosage. " she said giving the details she'd rehearsed. She didn't know what they'd do with Loki if they found out he had healed faster than normal but she wanted to buy him a little more time. She didn't think SHIELD would resort to extreme measure but she had a feeling he wouldn't talk without incentive or torture.

"Do you think he's ready to talk?" Phil asked bluntly

Alex looked at him. "Phil, he's still healing. He's obviously suffered mental distress as well as the distress to his could bring him for questioning now, but I'm afraid he'd shut down."

"Do you think he'd talk to you?" Fury asked

"Depends. Are we looking for information about Asgard? He's given bits and pieces of that detail with little coaxing. Are we looking for something specific? I mean what kind of information are we looking for?" Alex asked curiously

"Agent Watson," Fury said in his serious tone "we are looking for specific information, knowledge that he may have on an object that we have in our possession. Something we have Eric Selvig coming in today to take a look at."

Alex looked from Phil to Fury confused "Something from Asgard?"

"We believe so. It was retrieved from the ocean by Howard Stark back in the 40's." Coulson replied.

Fury continued "It's called the Tesseract."

Loki smiled to himself at the ease of his escape from Stark Mansion. He'd managed to use his magic to have his replica remain in his place. He even cloaked himself so that Alex didn't even realize that he'd hitched at ride in the entourage that SHIELD sent to pick her up.

It had all worked out well. He hoped his magic held up and he could remain hidden. He couldn't bear the idea of her leaving him at the mansion alone. He set about the building to find her when he was distracted by a tall older gentleman being led to the elevators. He recognized the man and curiosity overcame him.

He was torn, should he find Alex as he'd planned or follow this familiar face? In the end, his curiosity got the best of him and he followed the man in the elevator. As it sank to the basement levels of the innocuous building, the man began to wring his hands nervously. The agent in the elevator didn't seem to notice. When at last the doors, the Agent led the man out and simply gestured for him to proceed down the long dark hallway.

The older man looked nervously at the Agent before taking his first step. Walking down the hallway, dread was clearly written on his face. Loki was curious as to what SHIELD had over this man that caused such distress.

It became clear when Nick Fury appeared in the darkness.

"Dr. Selvig."

Selvig smiled nervously with a bit of relief on his face. "So you're the man behind all this? It's quite a labrynth. I was thinking they are taking me down here to kill me."

"I've been hearing about the New Mexico situation. Your work has impressed a lot of people who are much smarter than I am."

"I have a lot to work with. The Foster theory, a gateway to another dimension. It's unprecedented. Isn't it"?

Fury walked away and Selvig followed. " Legend tells us one thing. History another. But every now and then we find something that belongs to both." He opened the metal case to show a glowing cosmic cube.

"What is it?"

"Power, Dr. If we can figure out how to tap it, maybe unlimited power."

Loki smiled at the cube and spoke to Eric Selvig's conscience. "Well I guess that's worth a look."

Selvig looked at Fury and repeated the command "Well I guess that's worth a look."
