After we had let out Clint, Natasha, and Bruce, I ran to talk to Phil, Fury, and Maria Hill. I thought it was majorly important to talk them out of taking Loki. It may not matter but at least, I would've warned them. The three of them were waiting in the meeting room where the Avengers had been earlier. I pulled the mic away from my mouth and the three of them did the same.

"I wanna talk about trying to capture Loki," Charlotte said. "I think that's an incredibly bad idea." The three of the others had obviously expected this from me. It all boiled down to Loki in one form or another. It wasn't the first time that I'd felt like punching everyone.

"We think it'll take care of the problem early on," said Maria. It was clear that she was going to oppose anything I said. She couldn't stand me ever since we'd been roommates. "We give him an ultimatum."

"In all honesty, if they are able to bring him in, it's because he wants that. You have to realize that. It's a trick." The three of them were clearly not caring about my advice. They'd already decided on this. If there was a chance at taking him, the Avengers had to try. "Why don't we think about the last time he was within a S.H.I.E.L.D. facility? He was there because he wanted to be and there was no way to keep him there."

"No, Kent. What happened the last time he was in custody happened because your emotions got in the way," said Fury. "In case you've forgotten, you're technically the one that let him out, breaking several laws in the process." I crossed my arms. They were never going to let that go, were they?

"You saw the surveillance video the same as we all did. He told me that he could leave whenever he wanted and that he didn't need my help. You remember that, don't you?"

"Listen, Charlotte," began Phil, "we understand your concern but the facility here is ten times the makeshift one that we had in New Mexico. We have specific quarters we could keep him in."

"Chambers that could minimize his power? That's what you'd need. How do you expect the Avengers to bring him in if you deny that it would be in his plans? Please give me some information here."

"There are chambers that can minimize his magic," said Maria. "We've been working on them here since we got the call from New Mexico that he was on Earth." I rolled my eyes.

"Well, you owe me some answers on the cube. How long have you known that he has one?"

"Not very," said Phil.

"That's not really telling me anything."

"You're here out of courtesy, Kent," said Fury. "Do not push your limits with me. We tell you what you need to know."

"Anything you tell the Avengers is something I need to know. I can't do anything unless you give me information." That's when various things were being called into our earpieces. This was falling apart, as I had predicted. I almost couldn't handle hearing them, especially not Steve.

"We'll have to discuss that later," said Fury, putting his mic back on. "What's going on?"

"There are too many of them," said Steve. "No one has heard from Hawkeye in at least ten minutes. Do you have any idea where he is?" My breath started falling out of time. Where was Clint?

"Hill!" commanded Fury. Maria nodded and immediately started opening one of the computers, finally logging into the cameras on each of the Avengers. I followed her. I certainly wasn't going to let her be hands on with them. "What's the word on the others?"

Everyone spoke in at once. Thor had immediately slammed down onto one of the planes, taking it down with a swing of Mjolnir. He and Natasha hadn't even been acting as partners. Steve and Tony were another pair who weren't acting together but that was predictable. Of course, no one could hear from Bruce but they'd seen him take down some planes. And as far as I knew, Clint hadn't checked in at all. I hadn't heard his voice since we'd let him off the helicarrier.

I tried not to melt down while I manically searched through their camera angles, trying to figure out where Clint was in the city. "Hawkeye's down, there's no question," I said. I was about to have a breakdown. They were probably regretting giving me access to all of this.

"Hawkeye, come in!" said Maria. "Hawkeye, are you alright?"

"Come on," I whispered, practically begging Clint to make a noise. The camera showed the same shot and had for awhile. I was certain he'd been knocked out but there was no one (or no alien) around. In fact, I had no clue what these things looked like.

"I'm regretting sending Stark out there," said Fury, covering his mic. "He's letting Rogers flounder." Fury almost hated Tony. He always showed up late to everything and clearly, didn't care for anyone but himself. He wasn't sure why he even allowed him to be a consultant and he was making that very clear.

"Is he okay? Should I bring up his camera?" I asked. I knew I looked incredibly nervous but hearing them constantly in my ear was unnerving. Fury nodded at me. I did as he asked and immediately said into my mic, "Cap, what is your location? I think you could be near Hawkeye."

"What are you talking about?" said Maria.

"Look at this," I said, opening up two windows with their camera angles side-by-side. "They're in the same area. They have to be. Did you hear me, Cap?"

"Yeah, I've got you. What does it look like where he is?"asked Steve. Maria started relaying information and she started glaring at me. Had it been anyone else telling Steve to stop and look for Hawkeye, he might not have responded. None of them would have. They all listened to me more than anyone else at S.H.I.E.L.D. and she was incredibly jealous.

"This is falling apart," said Coulson, covering his mic.

"You don't have to spare them!" said Fury. "They know it's all going wrong."

"Can we pull them out?" I asked. "I mean, at the minute that it looks like they're backing off. This is dangerous." I was covering my mic, the only one worried about making the Avengers nervous. I was doing it mostly for Thor's sake, worried about him getting set off. Phil didn't blame me. Thor needed to be walked through a lot of things. If there was a sign of panic, Thor would really react.

"I say that's what we do," said Phil.

"Hill and Kent, we're putting you back at the facility," said Fury. My mouth dropped open.

"No, I'm staying here!" I responded.

"Hill, you take a team out on the street. The Avengers need back up. Kent, you stay secure."

"Are you putting me under arrest?" I demanded. It was the only kind of "secure" he could possibly mean.

"Don't make me have to."

"Don't touch her, Fury!" Tony's voice came through. "I'll personally punch you." I breathed out, actually thankful for Tony for once in my life.

That's when we heard a bout of coughing through the earpieces. "Oh my God, Hawkeye, is that you? Are you okay?" I asked.

"Yeah… yeah, it's me. I'm injured but Cap's got me," he said. I breathed a sigh of relief and exchanged a look with Maria. For once, we could agree on something. "Listen, I'm not being a coward or anything but there is no way we can win this." My heart sank even though I'd known that would be true. It reminded me of when Tony had been so confident in front of Loki.

"Hill, Kent," said Fury, "let's go." All of a sudden, he was ushering us off and I was back within S.H.I.E.L.D., pacing in the meeting room. I hadn't been able to see anything on the way out. Maria stalked off after creating a team and I began hearing things that were full of destruction. I heard the Avengers calling orders to each other but at the same time, yelling insults. That wasn't helping at all.

"Ya'll, stop bitching at each other and get it together!" I said into my mic. "Hawkeye, update me on your condition."

"I'm getting through it, Kent," Clint responded. "What's your location?"

"Secure in the facility."

"Stay there," said Steve. I nodded as if he could see me.

"You got it." My stomach was churning and it was only made worse by having to be stuck alone. There was literally no one walking through. I had never noticed how incredibly stark the whole place was. I wondered if I needed to start doing breathing exercises to calm myself down. What was I going to do the minute that Loki faced one of them? I didn't have to wait long.

"Hey, Kent, you mind if I smack this son of a bitch ex of yours back into Asgard?" Tony asked. My heart froze.

"Go for it."

"Now's the time I need you, Captain America," I heard him say. It was clearly said in a way to antagonize Steve but he did need the help. "Oh, Widow, you'll do. Let's get him."

"We are under orders to capture him?" asked Natasha.

"Absolutely," responded Fury.

"Don't-" I began.

"Kent, I am serious. Back off." I sighed. If they wanted to walk into his trap, then they deserved to. I'd said it and I'd warned them. If they wanted to be idiots, they were more than welcome to be.

"Earpiece out," I said as I heard a fight begin. I was also hearing a lot of stress from Clint, Steve, and Thor. I couldn't take it.

It was maybe thirty minutes later when I got a phone call from Fury. "Do not; I am begging you, Kent, do not make me regret this. We are stretched thin and I have no one else. Go down into the garage and get one of those vans and pick the Avengers up. Go to Park Avenue. You'll see everything from there," he said. I was in so much shock that I couldn't respond. "Kent, are you there? You need to do this now. Loki is with them."

"You want me to drive the getaway car?" I asked, still in disbelief. "Is there a huge risk for me?"

"We're not sure but since Loki is detained, we're thinking they'll back off. You've got to do this now. Put your damn earpiece back in and tell them when you're close. Be prepared for debris and do not worry about the Hulk. We'll have to get him."

"I'm sorry but are you saying that I need to pick up Loki along with the rest of the Avengers?"

"If you can't handle it, Kent, then I guess I'll have to do it. But I have to monitor all of this here."

"It's fine… I'll be able to do it. You said Park Avenue?"

"Yes. From there, you should be able to see it." I took off running down to the garage after putting my earpiece back in. Then I heard Fury come through. "Avengers, Agent Kent will be driving a S.H.I.E.L.D. vehicle down to get you. It's time to wrap it up."

"Have you seen the way she drives, Fury?" asked Tony.

"You want to walk back, Iron Man? I can make that happen." I grabbed some keys and found a van big enough for everyone.

"She can't come down here!" said Steve.

"No way," said Clint.

"Have a little faith in me, guys," I said, even though I didn't have much faith in myself at this point. My hands were shaking on the wheel. At least my bad driving skills might come in handy right now.

I pulled out into the road and miraculously, there didn't appear to be much damage near where I'd been. I wondered why I'd been able to feel it. It could've possibly had to do with the Hulk. After awhile of speeding in the opposite way of where most people had been going, I finally saw something. The van screeched to a halt before I almost hit another car head on. I looked above the wheel and saw people running away, much in the way that I'd seen cars speeding past me. My eyes fixated on figures in the background, which also appeared to be running away. I looked up to the sky and I saw that there actually were planes in the air but they were zooming away. I pulled the van back and swerved around debris, which meant cars that were turned over and pavement that looked incredibly torn up.

I put the brakes on again and I screamed as I swerved the van out of the way of one of the aliens. "Kent, are you alright?" demanded Clint.

"Oh my God," I said, as I just stared at it. They were blue and they looked incredibly unusual. I wondered if they were Frost Giants. I wondered if Thor had identified what they were. "Yeah… Yeah, I'm fine. Where are ya'll?" I drove off, attempting to outrun the alien. It felt like I was running from zombies.

"Thor's got me but get Iron Man and Widow first. They have Loki."

"Iron Man, Widow, where are you?" I kept driving and swerving. The condition that this vehicle would be in when I drove it back was questionable. There was no doubt that it was receiving damage.

"I see you," said Tony. "Pull to the left." I swerved as he said it and I saw him get out of the Iron Man suit and open the back door.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

"Never been better." That's when I saw Natasha coming forward with a harsh grip on Loki. Sadly enough, I had to admit that he looked radiant. Tony manhandled him into the backseat of the car with him and Natasha. Loki kept his sparkling eyes on my rearview mirror, making us have to exchange a look every time I looked back in it. I drove off fast, trying to avoid seeing the three of them in the backseat.

Loki's hands were tied with something that wasn't rope and something that wasn't handcuffs. I came on more aliens and zoomed past. "Why didn't I bring a gun?" I said, more to myself than anyone else. "Hawkeye, I see you," I said as he and Thor appeared in the distance. Clint was leaning on Thor and I couldn't tell the extent of the damage. As they crawled into the seats in front of Loki, Natasha, and Tony, I couldn't resist turning to make sure Clint was alright. "What is it? What happened?"

"It's my leg. It's nothing. I was ambushed from behind," he responded. I had unbuckled my seatbelt to take a look at it.

"Keep pressure on that," I said as I accidentally looked up and saw Loki staring at me. I froze and Thor locked his gaze on me. He nodded. I turned back and kept both hands on the wheel. Thor was as distraught about this as I was. "Where's Steve?" I asked, as I realized frantically that I hadn't heard him check in in awhile.

"Use codenames, Kent," said Phil.

"Sorry sir. Cap, where are you?" I started driving and I was going fast, trying to survey where he could be and also make sure that I didn't hit anything. "Come on, Steve. Where are you?"

"Codenames, Kent," said Tony in a mocking way.

"Where is he, Tony? He was your partner!" Then my eyes fixed on something in front of me and I knew that it was him. Aliens were all around down here and I thought I was going to freeze again. But I talked myself into staying focused. "Everyone, you better hold on because this is going to be fast." I hit the gas harder than I had ever done so, trying to get past aliens and when I thought I was close enough, I reached over and opened the passenger door, swerving to a halt. "Get in!" I screamed. Steve looked completely in shock and I motioned with my arm for him to get in.

"Holy shit, Charlotte, you need to become a drag racer!" said Clint.

"I'm just doing my job," I responded, as Steve closed his door. They'd all looked beat up but Steve really did. "Are you alright?" I asked him. He nodded in response and froze when he saw Loki in the backseat of the van. "You didn't know?"

"I didn't think they were being serious," he responded.

"You're not the only one."

"Can the two of you flirt later?" asked Tony. I turned in my seat so fast, I almost got whiplash. I'm sure the look on my face was priceless because he shut up. I drove back and watched as many of the aliens were receding.

"Well, that was a disaster," said Clint after awhile of silence. Thor was completely rigid in his seat and I noticed that Natasha was trying to avoid contact with Loki. She probably didn't like how cold he could be. Steve was having a hard time trying to not look in the rearview mirror and of course, Loki was smirking, knowing that he'd gotten underneath everybody's skin. I was focused on the road ahead of us, just grateful that everyone was alright… including Loki.

"How did the Hulk go?" I asked. Clint shrugged. He'd been knocked out for most of the fight and didn't want to acknowledge that he'd missed out on helping his partner.

"He destroyed some property," said Natasha, "but it helped knock out a few of their planes." It was good to hear that Bruce had pulled it together enough to be able to be a help. "I had to tranquilize him." I could tell she wasn't happy about having to do it but she probably insured that he didn't do anything too dangerous.

"I do not believe I've had the pleasure of knowing who you are," I heard Loki's charming voice say. He was talking to Natasha. I gripped the wheel harder than I thought was possible. She looked sickened by the fact that he was talking to her but I didn't care.

"You are not going to say another word, Loki, do you understand me?" I asked. "Don't talk to her. Don't talk to anyone. Just keep your mouth shut." Steve glanced over at me and he knew exactly what it was. Jealousy.

Loki stared towards me, almost grinning. "What could you possibly do to me?"

"You're not gonna get in my head so please don't bother." I rolled my eyes.

"I am already in your head," he said with a smirk and unfortunately, I knew he was very very right.

Hey ya'll! Next week is my spring break and I'm going to the beach with some friends for most of the week so I don't know if I'll be able to update before the trip again. So unfortunately, this chapter isn't as long as it could've been. But I promise there will be more to come, at the very least by next weekend. I may be able to update this weekend but I'm just not sure. And did ya'll see the new trailer? I am literally so excited.
