Despite the Captain's words, Thor spoke up yet again. "I have unfinished business with Loki."

"Yeah, get in line."

Kagome rolled her eyes, men and their need to get the first hit on the big bad never did make sense to her. As long as the chaos was stopped, she could care less, but these petty squabbles about who got the first hit usually cost time and opportunities.

Then again, she wasn't aware of what, exactly, Loki had done.

"Save it. Loki's gonna keep this fight focused on us and that's what we need. Without him these things could run wild. We got Stark up top, he's gonna need us..." the Captain's words died down as the sound of a puttering scooter made it's way towards them.

Kagome leaned to the side to peer around the Captain, wondering who exactly was crazy enough to ride a scooter through the chaos. She could only blink at the unsuspecting man that was riding it, though he did look a little worse for wear.

She raised a brow when he turned the scooter off and booted the kick stand forward before walking towards the group. "Well, this all seems horrible."

He faltered when he set his eyes on her, actually missing a step when she absently waved in a silent greeting towards the man.

"I've seen worse."

It was Kagome's turn to falter. Turning towards Romanoff with wide eyes, she wondered just what the assassin had seen. Sure, back in the past she could understand things getting worse, especially when the enemy you were fighting called out hundreds of low-level youkai, but in the present? She felt a mix of wanting to know, shock and awe, and wanting to leave well enough alone.


AN: Yes, just realized I brought in Bruce twice in this story... but he's just that awesome, so lets go with it! I was running on sugar and... some sort of food when I wrote the backlog. Time, pacing and flow no longer apply! Read, enjoy, and review!
