Clint's POV ~Sorta~
Outside the Helicarrier, an unidentified aircraft move in closely.
"661 Bravo, please relay your passcode, what is your hull, over?" A voice sounds from over the sound system./p
"Arms and ammunition, over." Barton replies, pulling out his bow and docking an arrow with a bomb on it, motioning the pilot to go ahead and land before the team starts to split.
Rachel's POV ~For a little at least~
Walking back into the lab a few minutes after Thor had gone there, was a bad idea. Rachel knew Director Fury wanted all of them to go right to the lab, but she needed to process everything and calm down after her talks with Loki then later Thor.
"You speak of control, yet you court chaos!" Thor exclaims just as Rachel walked through the doors.
"That's his M.O., isn't it? I mean, what are we, a team? No, no, no. We're a chemical mixture that makes chaos. We're...we're a time bomb!" Dr. Banner says, a fire lighting in his eyes, as Rachel's widen in surprise and a bit of fear as she slinks against the walls trying to get to Tony, the fighting making her extremely nervous.
"You need to step away." Director Fury says holding a hand up to Bruce, as Tony slings an arm around Steve's shoulder.
"Why shouldn't the guy let off some steam?" The sarcasm slipping right off his tongue as Rachel finally gets to his side and grabs a fistful of the bottom part of his shirt, he turns a little and looks at her, his eyes taking in her anxiety, her own eyes flinting around the room nervously.
"You know damn well why! Now back off!" Steve says harshly and pushes Tony's arm away causing him to bump into Rachel who squeaks a little, only enough to get Tony's attention who quickly wraps his other arm around his sister, though not enough attention to stop fighting with Steve.
"Oh, I'm starting to wish you'd make me." Tony says stepping toe to toe with Steve as much as he can while holding Rachel.
"Big man, in a suit of armor. Take that off and what are you?" Steve asks thinking he had Tony.
"Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist." Tony lists off as Rachel catches Natasha nodding.
"I know guys with none of that worth ten of you" Steve growls out making Rachel flinch into Tony, who glares deadly at Steve as he continues, "Yeah, I've seen the footage, of you and your sister. The only thing you really fight for is yourselves. You, Tony, aren't the one to make the sacrifice play, to lay down on a wire and let the other guy crawl over you."
"I think I'd just cut, the wire." Tony says moving Rachel behind him as she clings to his back, none of the others paying attention to the girl.
"Always the way out...You know, you may not be a threat, but you better stop pretending to be a hero."
"A hero?! Like you?!" Tony says, his back straightening, Steve had finally pissed him off. "You're a lab rat, Rogers. Everything special about you came outta a bottle!"
*SHORT* Clint's POV ~Again Sorta~
The ramp of the carrier opens. The carrier maneuvers next to one of the large turbine engines. Barton stands at the base, holding out his bow. He pulls out a grenade-tipped arrow. He points right at the engine. Barton moves his aim and points the arrow about a hundred feet from the engine. He releases. The arrow flies out,but then sharply heads for the engine. The arrow is punctured onto the engine. It has a visible timer which is counting down.
Rachel's POV
Steve starts to posture against Tony.
"Put on the suit and let's go a few rounds." Steve says, growling at Tony, causing Thor to laugh, and Rachel to flinch at the loud sounds.
"You people are so petty...and tiny." Tony sighs rubs his forehead and steps away from Steve./
"Yeah, this is a te-" Banner starts.
"Agent Romanoff, if you would escort Dr. Banner to his-"
"Where? You rented my room."
"The cell was just in case-"
"In case you needed to kill me, but you can't! I know, I've tried..." Bruce exclaims and the whole room goes silent, Tony looking away from the Doctor, Steve looking sad and lost, Thor downtrodden, Natasha and Fury surprised, as tears start to stream down Rachel's face. "I got low. I didn't see an end, so I put a bullet in my mouth and the other guy spit it out! So I moved on. I focused on helping other people. I was good until you dragged me back into this freak show and put everyone here at risk!" He glares at Natasha, who shifts her weight from foot to foot, getting nervous. "You wanna know my secret Agent Romanoff? You wanna know how I stay calm?" He asks as Fury and Natasha move their hands to unclip their guns from the holsters.
"Doctor Banner...put down the scepter." Steve says, holding one hand out to Banner, who looks down at his hand not even realizing he had picked up the scepter, just as the computer beeps.
"Got it!" Tony says rushing away from Rachel, who whimpers and kinda backs herself into the wall.
"Sorry, kiddies. You don't get to see my little party trick today."
"Located the Tesseract?" Thor asks as the attention goes to Tony and Bruce, the latter moving to the monitor the scan was on Agent Romanoff following him.
"I can get there faster." Tony says looking at the screen.
"Look, all of us-" Steve starts only to be cut off.
"The Tesseract belongs on Asgard, no human is a match for it." Thor says as Tony head for the door, yet Steve stops him.
"You're not going alone!"
"You gonna stop me?" Tony ask ignoring the whimper of his sister, which he had been keeping an ear on the whole time.
"Put on the suit, and let's find out."
"I'm not afraid to hit an old man."
"Put on the suit." As Steve steps up to Tony, both posturing at each other.
"Oh, my G-d" The attention turns back to Bruce who was still staring at the monitor, then a sudden blast causes the ship to jostle. Rachel screams out as the other Avengers are strewn across the lab. Natasha and Bruce falling to the lower levels while Tony and Steve are thrown into the hallway, and Thor thrown onto Rachel.
"Put on the suit!" Steve exclaims.
"Yep!" Tony agrees and they help each other up and run out. Rachel crying her eyes out and squeezes herself out of under and away from Thor before curling into a ball.
"Lady Rachel?" Thor asks gently kneeling in front of the crying woman.
"No more arguing, no more tension." She starts to mutter to herself, rocking gently, trying to disappear in on herself. "No more, no more, no more." Thor blinks and looks around for Tony, who had disappeared already.
"Lady Rachel?" Thor reaches out and gently places a hand on Rachel's shoulder causing her to jump.
"Please don't fight anymore. We lost everything, don't take him from me too." Rachel asks, not realizing it wasn't Tony, her accent completely gone.
"Take whom Lady Rachel?" Thor leans closer trying to catch what she's saying clearly.
"Don't take my brother, please. He's all I got left, he's the best big brother ever. No more arguing, don't leave me, Tony please~" She starts to sob, and Thor takes her into his arms and looks around. Picking her up with one arm he walks over to the computers and starts to look around unsure of what he should do. He spots a screen with moving lines, looking closely he sees the writing 'Voice com of Anthony Edward Stark, and Steve Rogers' seeing the unmute button Thor reaches over and presses it. Looking some more he sees a button too press that lets him talk to Tony and Steve, pressing it he takes a deep breath.
"Lord Stark, your sister is crying, asking for us not to take you away from her. What do I do to make it stop?" Thor asks and pulls his finger away from the button, to wait for the reply.
"She's crying?!" Tony's reply comes, causing Rachel's sobbing to slow a small bit.
"Yes, though from hearing of your voice, it has subsided a little." Thor answers.
"Tonie! Hey, Princess. Listen to me now, Chele." Tony starts and Rachel's crying quietens a lot, "I'm going nowhere, and no one is going to take me, but we have a job to do now ok? I need you to calm down and collect yourself. Come on Princess, I know you can. I need my Kitty out here, there is no way I can do it on my own-" Natasha's voice cuts in, panting heavily.
"Cap is going to help you out there Tony, but I need help down here, Hulk is rampaging, and it seems as though as I'm the target!"
"See there Tonie?" Tony's voice cuts back in. "We need you out here, no more arguing, promise. No one is taking me, and no more arguing. But we need help, we need you and Thor now." Rachel's crying subsides completely, and she reaches over to the computer.
"I got it, Anthony." Her voice rough and shaky as she looks to Thor. "Thank you, if you would please place me down now." Her accent back in place her green eyes looking brighter than before. Thor nods silently and gently places her on the ground, she grabs his arm as she tries to stop the shaking before she presses the button again. "What is going on, can anyone fill us in?"
"Engine 3 is down, and if we lose another we will start losing altitude." Tony's voice filters through.
"What needs to be done?" Rachel asks, as she turns to the computer and her fingers start to fly over the keyboard and windows fly across the screen, Thor standing quietly behind her.
"Steve and I are trying to get the engine back up." Tony says.
"There is debris, Tony. You'll have to cut it out and manually push it to start." Rachel states pulling up a live feed of the engine and what it's supposed to look like, and Jarvis.
"I know, don't worry. Send someone to help Natasha, she's battling the Hulk." Tony says.
"Thor you got it?" Rachel asks looking over her shoulder, to see him nod and dash off. "I'm going to get my suit Tony, and keep an eye on Loki."
"Oh sure! Take the most dangerous job!" Tony replies sarcastically.
"I'm a risk taker, what can I say." Rachel replies just as sarcastically before Steve's voice filters through.
"And you aren't related at all?" Rachel cracks a smile knowing the others couldn't see her before clipping Jarvis onto her catsuit whilst shedding her jacket and pants as she ran.
"Jarvis."
"Yes miss?"
"Is Loki still in the cell?" She asks quickly slipping into her suit after taking off the com, the helmet quickly shuts around her face as the rest of the armor jumps to life.
"Yes, miss."
"Tonie you be careful you hear me!" Tony's voice filters through.
"Yes, Tony I hear you loud and clear." Rachel rolls her eyes at the video feed that the two suits share pop up, letting Tony see his sister's reaction.
"I saw that."
"Good." Rachel shakes out the armor a little before bounding out of the room and using the claws on both the feet and hands of her suit to jump over the people crowding the halls making a mad dash to Loki's chambers.
"Are you sure you two aren't related in any way?" Steve asks simply.
"You are supposed to be near a switch not asking about my relations with my sister." Tony states.
"Bit busy, and I was merely asking."
"Girls, you are both pretty, now work together!" Rachel exclaims as she finally reaches Loki's cell.
"You're related." Steve says then grunts in pain.
"Loki what are you doing!?" Rachel yells stepping into the room, the look on Loki's face one of triumph.
"Merely showing facts, Sister mine." She walks up to the door, and Loki stares at the eyes of the helmet.
"Facts, what facts?" Rachel turns off her mic to the communication link, and blacks out the video feed.
"You will never be a team with them! You belong with me! This 'team' of yours is failing and falling to ruin." Rachel rolls her eyes and lets the helmet slip from her face and into the suit.
"This 'team' is brand new and people are trying to figure where they fit in it. Plus there is the big threat fixing to unleash on the world. Oh and let's not forget part of this 'team' is under the mind control of said threat." Rachel glares at Loki, who grins back.
"Where is your 'role' in this team, because here you are away from the action, talking to the 'big threat'"
"My 'role' is to keep YOU in the cell, we've located the tesseract and after this is all done, well, we'll get it, and then Thor will take you to Asgard and hopefully to get you some mental help." Rachel snaps at him, not paying attention to what was going on around her as someone slips in behind her taking the butt of his gun he hits her hard on the back of the head, causing her to cry out in pain and drop to the ground. Growling angrily Rachel looks up at the one who hit her to see Clint, only for him to hit her again, this time knocking her unconscious.
"Be careful with her! She is my twin sister!" Loki's growling threat the last thing that filtered through Rachel's world as it went black.
Tony's POV! ~Didn't see that coming, and this is after the debris is outta engine 3~
Rushing to Loki's cell, where the last communication from Rachel came from. Turning the corner into the cell holder, noticing the missing cell, medics dealing with a dead Coulson, and Fury's sad expression, Tony looks for Rachel.
"Where is she?" The first words from Tony's mouth to Fury.
"Who?"
"My sister! She said she would be in here with Loki, keeping an eye on him, now where is my sister!"
"The Panther is in the air, from the looks of it, taken by Loki." Just as Fury stopped talking Tony leaned against the wall of the cell room looking stricken.
