Thor was munching on snacks in the living room when he happened to glance out the window and did a double take. 'Why is there a blizzard in the middle of August?' he thinks, but before he can get up to go get a better look out the window, he hears a shout coming from the direction of the elevators.

"WHO HERE IS THOR ODINSON!?"

"BUCKY! STOP TRYING TO KILL THOR, THAT'S MY JOB!" Steve's voice shouted from the same direction as two pairs of footsteps ran in Thor's direction.

"LYDIA WAS MY SISTER FIRST IT'S MY JOB! THOR WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU!?"

Thor gulps and smartly runs towards the balcony to fly off with Mjölnir, blizzard or no blizzard.

Then, Tony got an SOS from his research team. Tony curses up a storm as he dropped everything and ran out of his lab. He doesn't bother with the elevator, he just goes straight for the staircase. After running up about 3 flights of stairs, he runs out into the living room.

"GUYS! We have an emergency!" Tony shouts.

"What is it?" Steve asked, pausing in the act of pinning Bucky to the floor with his shield.

"I just got an SOS call from my research team. Their plane is going down!"

Steve immediately got up, pulling Bucky to his feet and quickly saying, "Tony, Bucky. Bucky, Tony. LET'S GO SAVE THE DAY."

On The Plane

There were more and more surfaces being coated in ice as the team was trying to keep the plane from going down. Then, one of the researchers shouted, "Does anyone else think this has something to do with the woman in the freezer?!"

Fury cursed under his breath. "Focus on sending signals to Tony. I'll go check the freezer."

"Yes, sir," the others said, trying to knock ice off of the controls as it formed.

Fury, grabbing onto stuff to not fall over, made his way to the back of the plane, where the freezer was. When he got there, he saw that there was a thick layer of ice coating the doors, and he had to actually use his guns to open said door.

Inside, he was shocked to see that the woman that had been frozen in the ice was out, chunks of ice scattered around her on the floor, and she was hovering about a foot off of the ground. Her eyes were glowing white as a freezing wind whipped around her and nearly knocked Fury off of his feet, even as she turned towards him.

"I'll NEVER join Hydra," she shouted at him, thrusting her hand forward and causing a blast of freezing wind to knock him into the wall, where his arms and legs were coated in ice, trapping him. "You can't force me to be a weapon against my country!"

"I'm not with Hydra! My name is Nick Fury, and I'm the Head Director of Shield!" Fury answered back, having to raise his voice to be heard over the woman's shouting. When he said his last name, however, the wind lessened slightly.

"Fury?" she asked, flying a little closer to him, though she still looked suspicious. "And what is Shield anyway?"

"Yes, Fury. I am Jack Fury's son. Shield is a United States based government organization."

"How do I know you're telling the truth, Fury?" she asked, glaring. "If that is your real name."

"I have a photo in my front right pocket of your team back in World War 2. Given to me by my father. Check if you want. And I also remember a story of you throwing a boot at my father's face because he tried to flirt with you."

Grace looked a little less suspicious at this, but she came over and pulled his wallet out of his pocket before opening it… and she looked up at him in shock.

"Everything was supposed to be wiped," she told him. "Everything. It was a protocol put in place when Code Icebringer was created."

"My father apparently kept the original photo," Fury said, calming down slightly. "Believe me now?" His answer was her waving her hand, the ice pinning him to the wall vanishing.

"Thank you."

Just then, the plane, that was still falling at that moment, suddenly stopped and levelled out. Then a moment later, they can hear the plane's door being ripped off its hinges. Immediately, the wind picked up again as Grace seemed to panic again. "An attack?!"

"Most likely not, actually. Avengers have arrived.." Fury shrugged when he heard the static run through the plane due to electricity running through the metal walls. Grace, however, didn't seem convinced, and she flew past him, ending up flying straight into Thor and launching him straight out of the plane, flying out herself as well. The moment she was out of the plane, the blizzard picked up and swirled around her powerfully.

At the same time, a thunderstorm brewed up, as Thor was beyond pissed at having been tossed out of the plane. Thor's eyes were glowing with his lightning power, arcs of lightning traversing his body.

The woman gathered the snow around herself, two bolts of lightning on other side of her at the same time that she blasted it towards him, and the lightning hit the snow and channeled through it at the same moment it had hit Thor, and she looked shocked when it didn't do anything except coat him in ice.

Meanwhile, Fury rushed towards the door, hoping he could stop the two weather idiots from continuing the fight. He reached the doorway just as Thor broke through the ice due to his electricity melting it. Off to the side, he also saw that Steve's skycycle had completely frozen and was falling. His one chance to get Grace to listen. Shit.

Underneath the plane, where Tony and Strange were stopping the plane from crashing into the ocean, they spotted Steve falling.

"Go! I got this!" Strange shouted at Tony.

Tony glanced at him and sighed, flying off to catch Steve. After catching him, he flies back up away from the skycycle before it hits the water.

"TONY! GET ME UP BETWEEN THOSE TWO!" Steve shouted over the wind.

"WHAT?! Are you crazy!?" Tony shouted at him.

"I CAN STOP THIS! TRUST ME!"

Muttering curses under his breath, he does as Steve told him, dodging a lightning strike Thor did towards Grace and hovers between the two, praying that Thor doesn't hit him as he hovers there.

Then, Steve got to where he could be plainly seen and shouted in the most authoritative military voice imaginable, "LIEUTENANT GRACE FROST STEELE! STAND THE HELL DOWN!"

Upon hearing this, Grace immediately snapped to attention in the middle of another ice attack, lessening the blizzard until she just had enough cold to stay in the air as she said, "SIR, YES SIR!"

Tony sighs in relief at one of the dangers averted, though the lightning that struck inches from him and hitting the water reminded him of the other situation. "Uh, Steve, think you use that voice on Point Break?"

"THOR! YOU STAND THE HELL DOWN TOO OR I'LL SIC BUCKY ON YOU!"

Thor turned his glowing, glaring eyes on Steve for a few moments before calming down, the thunderstorm lessening as he did.

Then, Grace seemed to notice who it was that gave the order, and she gasped before flying forward in a flash and grabbed Steve from Tony, hugging him tightly as she spun around and saying, "CAPTAIN! IT'S YOU! YOU'RE ALIVE!"

Tony realized that the weight he was carrying was gone and his attention goes from Thor to his arms and panics. 'Wait a second. WHERE IS STEVE?!'

Steve laughed, hugging Grace back as he said, "I should be the one celebrating that YOU'RE alive! YOU WENT MISSING THREE YEARS BEFORE I DID!"

Tony calms down when he realizes where Steve was and sighs. "Well, since the crisis is averted, I'm going to go back to the plane so Strange doesn't have to be straining on his own." With that, he heads back to help Strange fly the plane.

After a short while, they managed to land the plane safely, and Grace carried Steve down and placed him on the ground… then waved her hand, and his ice-covered skycycle came over and safely rested on the ground before the ice just slipped away and left it in normal condition. Thor lands down a few feet away, though it was hard to notice that his eyes had yet to return to normal. With a tight grip on Mjölnir, he stalks inside the tower.

"Wow, first we find Bucky again, and now Grace," Steve said, grinning. "Now all we need to do is find Logan…" Then, he shouted, "BUCKY! OUT HERE!"

Bucky came out onto the balcony on the second floor and leaned over. "WHAT!?" Then he spots Grace and nearly toppled over the balcony and then he disappears back inside.

Tony chuckled. "Give him a few minutes."

Grace smiled, taking a couple steps away from everyone else because she knew what was probably coming. As expected, Bucky came flying-running out the front doors and tackled Grace. "YOU'RE ALIVE?!"

Grace laughed, hugging him back as she said, "Of course I am, silly! Hydra goons can't take me that easy! I'm tougher than you think!"

"Thanks a lot.." Bucky muttered at the indirect burn. "So glad you're alive..."

Grace smiled, hugging him, before smirking mischievously and tickling him under his shirt with ice-cold fingers. Bucky grunted in laughter as he backed away from her. "Quit that!"

She just laughed, following him and continued the cold tickles.

"Seriously. Stop!"

"Aw, Bucky…" she said, stopping the tickles and hugging him, "It's okay…"

He chuckled softly. "I always hated the ice cold tickles."

"Wait… since when are you taller than me?"

"Since I grew up."

"Come on, lovebirds," Steve laughed, putting a hand on their shoulders, "We need to go check on the others and Grace can help us kill Thor."

When they entered the living room, they spotted Thor laying down with his head on Lydia's lap, the wolf girl running her fingers through his hair. Lydia heard them come in but didn't bother looking up from her task. Off to the side, on the other side of the couch, Savannah was sleeping while curled up with her top half on Loki's lap. Loki was calmly reading a book.

"Um, Thor, is it?" Grace asked, coming up to him slowly.

Lydia looked up when Grace neared, eyes slightly narrowed at the sight of a new person just randomly approaching the couch, until she recognized the face. Thor hummed, turning his head towards Grace. "Yes?"

"Apologies for attacking you, sir," she said, standing up straight at attention. "I was under the impression that Hydra was attacking, as they were the last group that I was dealing with before I froze myself."

"While I don't appreciate just being tossed out of a plane like that, I accept your apology. You had no idea," Thor told her, accepting her apology.

"Thank you, sir," she said, smiling a little.

"You're the nurse that my brother always talked about in his letters!" Lydia exclaimed, finally placing where she remembered Grace's face from.

"Oh? He did?" Grace asked, glancing to the side at Bucky without moving her head, a sly smile on her lips and a slight blush to her cheeks. Bucky was glaring at his sister, silently begging her to stop talking.

"Yeah! Every time he sent a letter home before he went missing, he always said a lot of nice things about you," Lydia smiled, ignoring Bucky's glare.

"Like what?" Grace asked, sitting down on the couch between the two couples, while Bucky sneaks out of the room to avoid embarrassment

"Well, one letter was talking about how he thought you were the most beautiful woman he saw, and then in the others kept talking about that and how he loved your personality." Grace blushed brightly at this, a shy smile on her face… but then the smile fell.

"I can't be beautiful to him now that he's seen what I really look like…" she said softly, one hand going to her ice-blue hair and bringing it to where she could look at it. "He only saw me with my wig on and after I'd colored my eyebrows and eyelashes…"

"But yet, he still somehow recognized you when he saw you from the balcony. You should have heard what he was shouting as he ran across the room and out into the hallway to the elevator. He was excited. So I doubt that the fact that you have ice-blue hair changes his feelings."

"I grew up like this… and everyone who saw my true hair color kept calling me an ugly freak…" Grace sighed, pushing her hair behind her ear.

Lydia huffed, shaking her head. "Don't listen to those idiots. They're just jealous because they couldn't have your beauty. Listen to me, Grace, you are beautiful."

Then, they heard a book snapped close to Grace's right. "The fact that they singled you out just because you're not like them, makes me wonder about Midgard's humanity. None of those imbeciles deserve to breathe," seethed Loki.

"This is going to be a big adjustment…" Grace sighed, looking around. "This doesn't even look like the world I grew up in anymore…"

"A lot of updates to get used to," Tony shrugged. "World's a different place."

"There's hair dye now if you want it," Steve said, "But it's also acceptable to have different colored hair now. A lot of people have weird hair colors, trust me."

"Yeah! You can have any colored hair you want, and it won't be weird at all," Lydia added, a wide smile on her face.

"Little warning, Grace… don't trust the shampoo if you use the shower after Lydia," Steve told his old friend and comrade. "I went in blonde. I came out looking like someone turned my hair into cotton candy." At this, Grace burst out laughing, just imagining Captain America with pink hair.

Lydia laughed as well. "It was too easy! You should have seen your face!" she teased, having to move her hand so she doesn't accidentally pull Thor's hair.

Surprisingly, Savannah hasn't woken up this entire time. Thor himself was dozing off, but he grumbled slightly when he realized Lydia stopped.

"Why'd you stahp..." Thor grumbled, words slurred as he was still drowsy.

Lydia looked down to see Thor's head turned slightly so he could look up at her with one opened eye. She smiled softly and returned to playing with his hair. "You're basically like a golden retriever, I swear," she softly told him.

Grace giggled. "Big, blonde, cuddly, and desperate for attention!"

"Yeah, he sure is," Tony chuckled as he turns to head to the kitchen. "Anybody want food?"

"I'm freaking starving," Grace admitted, standing up. "You guys got any cream and sugar?"

"I think so," Tony shrugged as he led Grace to the kitchen.

"Good! That means I can make ice cream!"

Lydia perked up at that. "Ice cream?!"

"Oh yeah!" Steve laughed, "Grace used to run an ice cream shop with her mother!"

Lydia laughed. "I love ice cream! I remember one time Bucky went out in the middle of a blizzard to get some when we ran out!"

"HE DID WHAT?!" both Grace and Steve shouted.

Lydia smiled sheepishly when she realized her slip-up. "Uh... Oops?"
