"How can you be so sure?"
Turning to face a scrutinizing Captain, she shrugged her shoulders. "I've done it before. They've never stopped me so far, don't see it happening now. But I'll need a lift."
It took a few moments, but Tony had heard what Kagome had said through the other's coms, and vouched for her, even as his stomach turned. "I believe her. And for the time being, that's the only option we have. But you better damn well take care of Kagome."
Though he believed the words he spoke, he was less than pleased with the idea of sending his daughter back to where Loki was waiting. But she'd defended herself against him fairly well and the rip wasn't going to close without her intervention; allowing the enemy to pour unhindered into their world. He grit his teeth, forcing himself not to hold her back.
He surveyed the streets below as he continued flying and dealing with stragglers while the others obviously contemplated his words and Kagome. If he was honest with himself, he direly wanted to grab the girl, take off, and put her somewhere safe, like locked in her shrine in Tokyo. Problem was, if they didn't do something about the Tesseract, safety would be a moot point. So, when the Avengers kept silent, he repeated himself, "Guys, I know her. If she says she can do something, then she can."
The Captain nodded his head, still eyeing Kagome "Alright... We still got to deal with these guys though."
"And how do we do that?" Romanoff asked, once more quickly taking in their surroundings and the encroaching soldiers.
"As a team."
