"Hey, what's going on?" asks Obadiah post-exiting his car and approaching the group gathered at the threshold or within one of the motel rooms.

"A witch kidnapped Tony," anxious Chester answered.

"What?!" Stane exclaimed.

"She came out of nowhere, took him and left!" yelled Steve most tense by a drawer cabinet, not more than Howard who was turning the room inside out flipping a mattress searching for some lead sign a reason.

"Just now? Why?!"

"We don't know," said Chester.

"Did you tell Fury?"

"Yeah."

"Well, everybody calm down. Howard," he walks in. "If it took him it's gotta be for a reason. I mean, there's gotta be something in here-"

"Ya fucking think?! Outta my way!"

"Alright. Alright," he backs up. A phone rings everyone freezes.

"Whose is that?!" Howard demands.

"It's mine. I gotta take this – be right back," he leaves the room paces out the others resume searching. He spots Marc and Layla afar likely sweeping the perimeter paces further picks up speaks lowly. "Why haven't you called yet?"

"The kid keeps talking about a Tribrid. He says his boyfriend's a tribrid!"

"What? No. That's, crap-" such force by he's into a car slammed yells out, looks up, and with the phone in hand it's Loki.

"I'm afraid not." The others hear look panic unsheathe weapons and haste forward. Loki to his ear puts the phone faces the rest waves up a hand they run into a wall unseen as he through the cell grim talks, and what he says shocks all save Steve. "This is the boyfriend speaking. If Tony's not safely returned in the next five seconds, I will hunt you down to the ends of the planet and cook you alive, am I clear?"

"…We can't do that." Greens darken.

"So be it," he hangs up, turns to Stane, to him zooms yanks him up harshly shoves him against the car expanding a back wound – Stane yells. "Tell me where or lose an eye," so calmly, sinisterly said greens shift to red his face monstrously changing.

"Howard! He's crazy!" Instant Loki twists his arm – crack sound it breaks and Stane screams coarsely.

"Location or I tear it out and feed it to you."

"He's!...In a warehouse, at the edge of town. Close to Waterway alley." They disappear both. And the team's left speechless.
