Vivian and Steve sat in the back of the jet while Natasha piloted. Steve was in an updated version of his famous Captain America costume, while Vivian was in a midnight blue SHIELD uniform that matched Maria Hill's.
Steve looked at Vivian, "So, you're British?"
Vivian smirked, "Yes, does that bother you Mr. America?"
Steve smiled, probably for the first time since he took this mission. "Hey, that's Captain America to you."
"Oh, of course, Captain." She said, smirk still present on her face.
"Alright, enough flirting. We're almost there." Natasha says from the front, causing both Vivian and Steve's faces to turn a bright pink. "Approaching the drop zone, get ready."
Steve grabbed a parachute and began putting it on while Vivian just looked out the window, beginning to see the commotion below. "Wanna grab a parachute?" Steve asked.
Vivian shrugged simply, "No."
The door at the back of the jet began to lower, as Steve looked at Vivian suspiciously. "Wha- what can you do exactly?" Steve asked as Vivian walked towards the opening in the jet.
Vivian turns to face him, "Wouldn't you like to know, Captain." She says, throwing him a wink before throwing her arms out and falling backwards. Only wishing she could have seen the look on his face.
Steve looks over the edge on the jet, shocked, before a smile starts to grow on his face as he shakes his head in disbelief. He makes sure his parachute is secure, before jumping.
Vivian lands among some trees, remaining hidden from Loki and everyone else. A few seconds later she hears someone land beside her, turning to see Steve. "What took you so long?" She said with a smirk.
Steve just shook his head in response, a smiling growing on his face as he looked at her. She smiled in return before directing her attention to Loki, Steve following suit.
He stood there in his gold armor and helmet, a scepter in his hand, while everyone kneeled in front of him.
"Is this not simpler?" Loki began. "Is this not your natural state? It's the unspoken truth of humanity, that you crave subjugation. The bright lure of freedom diminishes your life's joy in a mad scramble for power, for identity. You were made to be ruled. In the end, you will always kneel."
However, there was one older man that remained standing. Vivian admired his bravery but was more concerned than anything. She knew how easily Loki could kill him. "Not to men like you." The man said heroically.
Loki smirked. "There are no men like me."
"There are always men like you." The man replied.
"Look to your elder, people. Let him be an example." Loki lifts up the scepter, about to execute the man. Just as the energy beam shoots out, Steve dives in and blocks the blast with his shield, knocking Loki back.
Vivian manipulates the wind, pushing herself up in the air and landing right in front of Loki. She stares him down, her fists lit up with flames. "Stand down." She says cocking her head.
Steve walks up. "You know, the last time I was in Germany and saw a man standing above everybody else, we ended up disagreeing."
Loki flicked his hand, sending Vivian flying and stood up. "The girl of the elements and the soldier. Both beings out of time."
"We're not the ones who are out of time."
Vivian makes her way back over to Steve, a little more pissed off now. From above them, the quinjet arrives, with a machine gun pointed towards Loki. "Loki, drop the weapon and stand down." Natasha commands.
Loki turns and sends a blast of blue energy at the quinjet. Natasha maneuvers it just in time, giving Vivian the chance to throw a ball of fire at him, which he dodges. Steve and Loki begin to fight before Loki flings Steve to the ground. Standing over him, he holds the scepter to Cap's helmet. "Kneel." Loki demands.
Steve looks up at him before seeing something glowing behind him. He smirks, "Not today!" Before Loki could turn around, a foot slams into his back, shoving him to the ground. He turns to look up at her just in time to see a flaming fist coming right for his face. The punch throws him off for a second before he sends a beam of energy right at her stomach, throwing her back.
As Steve tries to get back up, Natasha comes over their earpiece, "The guy's all over the place."
"You don't say." Vivian groans, rolling onto her side.
Suddenly, "Shoot to Thrill" starts playing over the quinjet's speakers.
Steve and Vivian look at each other before looking at the quinjet, confused as all hell.
