Once in the lab, both Hermione and Banner work on the algorithm.
"Where have you been all my life?" Banner asks Hermione.
"Well, I was in England, but I then moved to New York and I work for Tony Stark. He is kinda childish, but he is a Genius." Hermione says. And gets intuped by a phone call from Hermione's pocket.
"Hello? Mum? I thought you and dad was visiting Germany, what's wrong? Making everyone kneel, says his name is... Loki, Omg I'll be right there" Hermione says, running towards a secluded corner and Apparite's to Germany. Just in time to hear what Loki has to say.
"Is this not simpler? 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." He says, walking through the crowd.
Just then, Hermione's dad stands up. "Not to men like you"
"There are no men like me" Loki says.
"There are always men like you" Hermione's dad says.
"Look to your elder people. Let him be an example" Loki is about to execute him with his scooter as the light glows blue. And just as the energy beam shoots out, Hermione quickly apparite's infront of her dad and deflects it and it reflects back on Loki.
"Now who are you? Let me guess, you're special power is teleportation" Loki hisses.
"Just helping out" Hermione says, as she Apparite's away again landing a few feet away to watch on, before Captain America shows up 2 seconds later.
"The soldier. The man out of time.. Tell me, who was that girl before?" Loki asks, standing up.
"I'm not the one who's out of time." Steve says. And from above Cap, the Quinjet arrives. A machine gun is pointed towards Loki.
"Loki, drop the weapon and stand down" Natasha says from the jet. Like lighting, Loki sends a blast of blue at the Quinjet. Natasha maneuverx the jet just in time, giving Cap the time to throw his shield at Loki. They both start to fight and Loki flings Cap to the ground. Cap then throws his shield, but like swats it away. Cap is knocked down by Loki. Standing over him, he points the scepter's tip on his helmet.
"Kneel" Loki says.
"Not today!" Cap flips and knocks him down with his leg. Loki grabs him and flips him over. Hearing music Cap and Loki, and a few feet away Hermione. All look up at the sky. Tony flies in his Iron-man suit and blasts Loki right back to the ground. Iron-man touches down. He stands up and pulls out every piece of weaponry the suit has.
"Make your move, Reindeer Games" Tony says. Loki puts up his hands and surrenders. His arm or materialises away.
"Good move" Tony says, putting his weapons away.
"Mr. Stark" Captain America says.
"Captain" Tony says. And Hermione calls Tony.
"Mia? How you doing?" Tony asks.
"Tony, turn around and walk into the dark alleyway" Hermione says, and Tony follows her directions and find her.
"Mia! What are you doing?!" Tony asks.
"My Mum called, I came and Loki was about kill my dad so I stopped him.." Hermione says.
"Shh, it's ok. Now the helicarrier has probably moved so why don't you follow us on your broomstick. Ok?" Tony asks and Hermione nods. Conjuring up her anti-lighting broomstick since it looks like it's going to have a thunderstorm and gets on before disillusion myself and flys toward the jet. With Tony following and flying in the jet where Cap and Loki are already in.
Natasha watches the skies and thunder comes out of nowhere. Fury speaks over her headset.
"Has he said anything?" He asks.
"Not a word" Natasha repiles.
"Just get hi, here. We're low on time" Fury says. With Loki tied up and cuffed to his seat, Tony and Steve watch from a distance, whispering.
"I don't like it" Steve says.
"What? Rock of Ages giving up so easily?" Tony questions.
"I don't remember it being so easy. This guy packs a wallop" Steve says.
"Still, you are pretty spry, for an older fellow. What's your thing? Pilates?" Tony asks.
"What?" Steve asks.
"It's like calisthenics. You might have missed a couple things, you know, doing time as a Capsicle" Tony says. Steve looks at Rony, finally meeting his ego match.
"Fury didn't tell me he was calling you in" Steve says.
"Yeah, there's a lot of things Fury doesn't tell you" Tony says. Thunder and lighting nearly nit the jet, making is shake violently. Tony looks outside, worried for Hermione,
"Where's this coming from?" Natasha asks. Thunder rumbles overhead. Loki stares out the window intently.
"What's the matter? Scared of a little lighting?" Steve asks.
"I'm not overly fond of what follows" Was all he says. Outside the jet Thor hands on the jet. Feeling the rumble and fearing for Hermione Tony puts on his helmet and opens the ramp. Thor flys in and knocks Tony backwards from his hammer, grabs Loki and flies out. With Hermione following them.
"Another Asgardian?" Natasha asks.
"Think the guy's friendly?" Steve asks.
"Doesn't matter. If he frees Loki or kills him, the Tesseract's lost." Tony turns and gets ready to jump off the jet to chase after Thor.
"Stark, we need a plan of attack!" Steve says.
I have a plan. Attack" And Iron-man jumps out the jet and chases after Thor. Cap grabs a parachute to follow.
"I'd sit this one out, Cap" Natasha says.
"I don't see how I can" Steve says, putting the parachute on.
"These guys come from legends, they're basically gods" Natasha says.
"There's only one God, ma'am. And I'm pretty sure he doesn't dress like that" And Cap jumps out the jets.
Somewhere out in the European mountains, Thor throws Loki into the side of the mountain. He raises his mighty hammer, Mjölnor. He looks down at his brother, who he thoughts to be dead and is angry to see him alive in this fashion.
"Where is the Tesseract?" Thor asks, and Loki laughs.
"I missed you too" Loki says.
"Do I look to be in a gaming mood?!" Thor asks.
"Oh, you should thank me. With the Bifrost gone how much dark energy did the all father have to muster to conjure you here? Your precious Earth." Loki says. And Thor drops the hammer, causing the mountain to quake. He picks up Loki. His brother. Although Thor is pissed for what he has done, a fami,u is everything to a man or god.
"I thought you dead." Thor says.
"Did you mourn?" Loki questions.
We all did. Our father-" Loki cuts Thor off.
"Your father. He did tell you my true parentage, did he not?" Loki asks, and Thor let's Loki go, who walks away from Thor, causeing an even bigger wedge between them.
"We were raised together, we played together, we fought together. Do you remember none of that?" Thor questions. And Loki turns around.
"I remember living in a shadow. Living in the shade of your greatness. I remember you tossing me into an abyss. I was and should be king!" L9ki shouts,
"So you take the world I love as recompense for your imagined slights. No, the Earth is under my protection, Loki" Thor says, and Loki laughs.
"And your doing a marvellous job st that. The humans slaughter each other in droves, while you idly threat. I need to rule the,. And why should I not?" Loki asks.
"You think yourself above them?" Thor asks.
"Well, Yes" Loki says.
"Then you miss the truth of ruling, brother. Throne would suit you ill." Thor says, and angrily, Loki shoves his brother to the side, and walks back to the ledge and turns around to face his brother.
"I've seen worlds you've never known about! I've grown, Odinson, in my exile! I have seen the true power of the Tesseract, and when I wield it.." Thor cuts Loki off.
"Who showed you this power? Who control ps the would-be-King?" Thor asks.
"I am a king!" Loki shouts.
"Not here! You give up the Tesseract! You give up this poisonous dream! Your come home." Thor says,
"I don't have it. You need the cube to bring me home, but I've sent it off I know not where." Loki says and the Mjölnir flies back to Thor's grasp.
"You listen well brother. I..." Thor is knocked off the mountain by Iron-man who tackles him in mid-flight.
"I'm listening" Loki says to thin air and Hermione, hearing all of it flies over to Tony and Thor.
Thor and Iron-man crash into the forest. Thor rolls himself up. Iron-man is still standing, but keeps his distance. The helmet opens up.
"Do not touch me again!" Thor yells.
"Then don't take my stuff." Tony says.
"You have no idea what your dealing with" Thor says.
"Shakespeare in the Park? Doth mother know you wearers her drapes?" Tony try's to copy an old British accent.
"This is beyond you, metal man. Loki with face Asgardian justice!" Thor says,
"He gives up the cube, he's all yours. Until then, stay out of my way.. tourist" The Iron-man helmet closes again and he walks away. But I np one quick move, Thor pulls his hammer, throws it, and knocks Iron-man across into a tree. And Hermione's eye twitches just watching all the broken trees. From the mountain side, Loki watches important amusement. Thor raises his hand and his hammer flies back to him.
Iron-man flies back up and knocks Thor into a tree. Thor, kneeling on the ground, pulls the Mjölnir to his hand, raises it to the skies and pulls in lighting. Thor then points the hammer at Iron-man and the outpouring of blots lighting increases in intensity. Iron-man falls back and the power in his suit goes up to 400% capacity. Iron-man blasts Thor and then both fly towards each other and meet in the middle and ascend up.
The two battle. Iron-man grasps Thor, elbowing him and smashing him into the side the mountain. Thor leaps off the mountain and takes Iron-man with him.
"Thor and Iron-man crashes right back down, smashing down every tree possible and Hermione has enough. Flying down making herself visible and putting herself between the two males.
"What do you think your doing?! Do you not care for the wilderness and wildlife around you? You could of destroyed a animals home! How would you like it if I destroy your home? Or yours? Thor of Asgard?! What do you have to say for yourself?!" Hermione yells, a fire in her eyes and Thor could feel the power radiating off of her. 'She must be very powerful' Thor thinks to himself.
"I am sorry my lady, it was not my interest to harm anything in this forest, maybe apart from metal-man over there but other then that" Thor says.
"Hey! You through your hammer at me first!" Tony says, And Thor steps forward.
"Hey! Stop it both of you! I have had it up to here! You can not kidnap Loki weather he is your not. And Tony! I know you! He may have been the first to punch, but you started it! Now both of say your sorry! Right now!" Hermione says firmly, and both Tony and Thor could feel the power radiating off of her. Hell, even Loki could feel it. They both shake hands and Hermione nods.
"Who are you?" Thor asks
Dr. Hermione Granger, nice to meet you" Hermione says, "Now, I must be going, see you soon" And Hermione Apparite's to where she left her broom and flies off, stops the helicarrier and Apparite's where she was last and walks back it the lab.
"Where have you been?" Banner asks.
"While I was on the phone, I tend to wonder and I walked the whole ship." Hermione shugs and goes back to her work.
Later on, we see dozens of SHIELD police escort Loki, who is handcuffed and smiling. As they pass the Helicarrier lab, banner stops his work and looks up. Loki eyes him as he walks, nodding and smiling. Banner rubs his head and gets back to work.
Loki is now free from his cuffs and is contained in a large glass cell held by hydraulic rigs. Fury walks up to the control panel of the cell.
"In case it's unclear. You try to escape. You so much as scratch that glass" Fury presses a button which opens up a hatch underneath Loki's cell. Loki peers as much as he can from the glass.
"Thirty thousand feet, straight down in a steel trap. You get hot that works?" Fury asks, closeting the hatch and points to Loki. "Ant" and then points at ten button which would drop Loki thirty thousand feet, ouch. "Boot"
"It's an impressive cage. Not built, I think, for me" Loki says, smirking.
"It's built for something a lot stronger than you" Fury says,
"Oh, I've heard" Loki says, looking into the camera. In the briefing room, the others watch on the monitor, Loki getting interrogated. "The mindless beast, make s play he's still a man. How desperate are you, that you call upon such lost creatures to defend you?" Loki asks.
"How desperate am I? You threaten my world with war. You steal a force you can't hope to control. You talk about peace and you kill cause it's fun. You have made me very desperate. You might not be glad that you did." Fury says.
"Ooh. It burns you to come so close. To have the Tesseract, to have power, unlimited power. And for what? A warm light for all mankind to share, and then to be reminded what real power is" Loki says.
"Well, you let me know if 'Real Power' wants a magazine or something." Fury smiles, walking off leaving Loki is his glass cell. Loki looks back at the camera, smirking. In the briefing room Steve watches until the monitor goes black. Thor who didn't even look, just listened, stands there, torn apart. Ther all just stand there in stunned silence. Until Banner talks.
"He really grows on you, doesn't he?" He asks
"Loki's gonna drag this out. So, Thor, what's his play?" Steve asks.
"He has an Amry called the Chitauri. They're not of Asgard or any world known. He means to lead them against your people. They will win him the Earth. In return, I suspect, for the Tesseract." Thor says.
"An army? From outer space?" Steve asks.
"So he's building another portal. That's what he needs Erik Selvig for." Hermione says.
"Selvig?" Thor asks.
"He's an astrophysicist" Banner says.
"He's a friend" Thor says.
"Loki has him under some kind of spell, along with one of ours." Natasha says.
"I wanna know why Loki let us take him. He's not leading an army from here." Steve says.
"I don't think we should be focusing on Loki. That guy's brain is a bag of Of cats, you could smell crazy on him" Banner says.
"Have care how you speak. Loki is beyond reason, but he is of Asgard, and he's my brother" Thor says,
"He killed 80 people in 2 days" Hermione says.
"He's adopted" Thor says.
"Iridium, what did they need the Iridium for?" Banner asks.
"It's a stabilising agent" Both Hermione and Tony say, with Tony just walking in with Coulson.
"Means the portal won't collapse on itself, like it did at SHIELD" Hermione says, and Tony says to Thor,
"No hard feelings, Point Break. You've got a mean swing" And then referring to the Iridium.
"Also, it means the portal can open as wide, and stay open as long, as Loki wants." Tony walks around and says to the crew.
"Uh, raise the mid-mast, ship the top sails. That man is playing Galaga! Thought we wouldn't notice. But we did" He then coveres his eye, and looks at the science controls.
How does Fury do this?" Tony asks.
"He turns" Agent Hill answers. Tony looks around the monitors and places a button size hacking implant under Fury's desk, without anyone noticing, apart from Hermione, who just rolls her eyes.
"Well, that sounds exhausting. The rest of the raw materials, Agent Barton can get his hands on pretty easily. Only major component he still needs is a power source. A high energy density, something to kick start the cube." Tony says,
"When did you become an expert in thermonuclear astrophysicist?" Agent Hill asks.
"Last night. The packet, Selvig notches, the Extraction Theory papers. Am I the only one who did three reading?" Tony asks, winking at Hermione, who roll her eyes again.
"Does Loki need any particular kind of power source?" Steve asks.
"He's got to heat the cube to a hundred and twenty million Kelvin just to break through the Coulomb barrier" Tony says.
"Unless, Selvig has figured out how to stabilise the quantum tunneling effect" Hermione says.
"Well, if he could do that he could achieve Heavy Ion Fusion at any reactor on the plant." Banner says.
"Finally, people who speak English" Tony says, and hugs Hermione and shake hands with Banner. A glimmer in their eyes shines as the mutual respect for each other shows.
"Is that what happened?" Steve asks, completely confused.
"It's good to meet you, Dr. Banner. You're work on anti-election collision is unparalleled. And I'm a huge fan of the way you lose control and turn into an enormous green rage monster" Tony says and Hermione hits him upside the head.
"Thanks" Banner says, looking down. And Nick Fury walks in.
"Dr. Banner is only here to track the cube. I was hoping you might join them" Fury says.
"Let's start with that stick of his. It may be magical, but it works an awful lot like a HYDRA weapon" Steve says.
"I don't know about that, but it is powered by the cube. And I'd like to know how Loki used it to turn two of the sharpest men I know into his personal flying monkeys" Fury says.
"Monkeys? I do not understand" Thor says and Steve jumps in excited.
"I do! I understood that reference" Steve shouts. And Hermione rolls her eyes, while Cal looks proud of himself.
"Shall we play, Doctor's?" Tony asks Hermione and Banner,
"Let's play some" Banner says and they go to the lab, while the Galaga player goes back to playing.
"First off, it's not powered by the cube" Hermione says first off, as soon as they get in the lab.
"Ok, so why don't we work on finding the cube, and let Hermione do her magic" Tony says, winking at Hermione and letting her go to the other side of the lab to work on the Scepter.
Later on, Hermione is continuously scanning with a gamma ray detection scanner in the scepter for radiation. Tony and Banner are looking at his monitors, shifting and solving as many algorithms and equations as to help find the Tesseract.
"The gamma reading are definitely consistent with Selvig's reports on the Tesseract. But I think there's something else, it has different then anything I've ever seen. But it's going to take weeks to process" Hermione says. Watching the Scepter's readings.
"If we bypass their mainframe and direct a reroute to the Homer cluster, we can clock this around six hundred teraflops" Tony says.
"All I packed was a tooth brush" Banner jokes, and Tony smiles.
"You know, you should come by Stark Towers sometime. Top ten floors, all RD. You'd love it, it's candy land." Tony says.
"Thanks, but the last time I was in New York I kind of broke... Harlem." Banner admits.
"Well, I promise a stress free environment. No tension. No surprises" Suddenly Tony pokes Banner with s miniature electrical prod. And just then Steve walks in, pissed at Tony.
"Ow!" Banner says, looking up. And Tony looks at Banner closely.
"Nothing?" Tony asks, and Hermione keeps working, but not without rolling her eyes.
"Hey! Are you nuts?" Steve asks Tony.
"You really have got a lid on it, haven't you? What's your secret? Mellow jazz? Bingo drums? Huge bag of weed?" Tony asks.
"Is everything a joke to you?" Steve asks.
"Funny things are" Tony says.
"Threatening the safety of everyone on this ship isn't funny. No offence, Doctor" Steve says.
"No, it's alright. I wouldn't have come aboard if I couldn't handle pointy things" Banner says.
"You're tiptoeing, big man. You need to strut." Tony says.
"And you need to focus on the problem, Mr. Stark" Steve says.
You think I'm not? Why did Fury call us and why now? Why not before? What isn't he telling us? I can't do the equation unless I have all the variables." Tony says.
"You think Fury's hiding something?" Steve asks.
"He's a spy. His secrets have secrets" Tony points to Banner. "It's bugging him too, isn't it?" He asks.
"Uh.. I just wanna finish my work and.." Banner try's to get out of it by fails.
"Doctor?" Steve asks.
"'A warm light for all mankind', Loki's jab at Fury about the cube" Banner starts.
"I heard it." Steve states.
"Well, I think that was meant for you. Even if Barton didn't post that all over the news" Banner says. Pointing to Tony.
"The Stark Tower? That big ugly (Tony and Hermione gives him a look)... building New York?" Steve asks.
"Hey! I helped with that building!" Hermione says, walking over to them.
"It's powered by Stark Reactors, self-sustaining energy source. That building will run itself for what, a year?" Banner asks.
"That's just the prototype. I'm kind of the only name in clean energy right now" Tony says.
So, why didn't SHIELD bring him on the Tesseract project? I mean, what are they doing in the energy business in the first place?" Banner asks.
"What do you think? Do you think that Fury is hiding something" Steve asks Hermione.
"I know he's hiding something" Hermione says.
"How do you think that?" Steve asks.
"Let's just say, it one of my talents" Hermione smirks and Tony laughs, Steve and Banner look at them weird but then Tony talks.
"Well, we will know for sure once my decryption programmer finishes breaking into all of SHIELD's secure files." Tony says. Taken back, Steve asks.
"I'm sorry, did you say..?" Steve trails off.
"Jarvis has been running it since I hit the bridge. In a few hours we'll know every dirty secret SHIELD has ever tried to hide. Blueberry?" Tony asks, and Hermione grabs one.
"Yet you're confused about why they didn't want you around?" Steve asks.
"An intelligence organisation that fears intelligence? Historically, not possible" Tony says.
"I think Loki's trying to wind us up. This is s man who means to start a war, and if we don't stay focused, he'll succeed. We have orders, we should follow them" Steve says.
"And you're all about style, aren't you?" Steve asks. And Hermione walks next to Banner.
"They are arguing like a old married couple aren't they?" Hermione whispers to Banner.
"Of the poeplein this room, which one is; A. Wearing a spangly outfit, and B. Not of use?" Tony asks sarcastically.
"They are, aren't they?" Banner whispers back. And then speaks louder for the other two to hear. "Steve, tell me none of this smells s little funky to you?" Steve takes in the possibility, but as an obedient soldier, shakes it off.
"Just find the cube" Steve walks out of the lab. Still torn apart by the possibility, he walks away, towards the HULL of the ship.
"That's the guy my dad never shut up about? I'm wondering if they should have kept him on ice" Tony says.
"The guy's not wrong about Loki. He does have the jump on us." Banner says.
"I'm going to see if I can 'work my magic' as Tony would say on the scepter, don't get in trouble!" Hermione says, working back to the scepter, and working.
"What he's got is an ACME dynamite kit. It's gonna blow up in his face, and I'm gonna be there when it does" Tony says.
"And I'll read all about it" Banner says.
"Uh-huh. Or you'll be suiting up like the rest of us." Tony says.
"Ah, see. I don't get a suit of armour. I'm exposed, like a nerve. It's a nightmare" Banner says, looking over the screens.
You know, I've got a cluster of shrapnel, trying every second to crawl it's way into my heart." Tony then points at the mini arc reactor in his chest, "This stops it. This little circle of light. It's part of me now, not just armour. It's a terrible privilege." Tony says.
"But you can control it" Banner states.
"Because I learned how" Tony says back.
"It's different" Banner says sadly and tries to read the computer screen, but Romy slides the data aside with his finger so the two can see face-to-face.
"Hey, I've read all about your accident. That much gamma exposure should have killed you" Tony says.
"So you're saying that the Hulk.l. the other guy... saved my life? That's nice. It's a nice sentiment. Saved it for what?" Banner questions.
"I guess we'll find out" Tony says after a moment and Banner and Tony get back to work at their respective computers.
"You might not like that's Banner says.
"I just might" Tony says, and silence takes over the lab.
Tony, Banner and Hermione are in the lab, Tony and Banner are sitting down or leaning against the table (Banner) and Hermione is next to the Scepter. When Fury walks in surprised to see Tony and Banner and Hermione stop working on the scepter.
"What are you doing, Mr. Stark?" Fury angrily asks.
"Uh... kind of been wondering the same thing about you" Tony says.
"You're supposed to be locating the Tesseract" Fury says.
"We are. The model's locked and we're sweeping for the signature now. When we get a hit, we'll have the location within half a mile." Banner says.
"And you'll get your cube back, no muss, no fuss" Suddenly his monitor shows a collection of secret files. "What is Phase 2?" Tony asks and Steve comes in and drops a HYDRA assault rifle on the table causing Fury, Tony, Banner and Hermione to turn around.
"Phase 2 is SHIELD uses the cube to make weapons." Then says to Tony. "Sorry, the computer was moving a little slow.
"Rogers, we gathered everything related to the Tesseract. This does not mean that we're..." Fury tries to explain.
"I'm sorry, Nick." Tony moves the computer screen towards Fury which shows plans of the weapons. "What were you lying?" Tony asks.
"I was wrong, director. The world hasn't changed a bit" At that moment, Thor and Natasha walk into the lab. Natasha keeps her eyes right on Banner, and Banner looks at her. Pissed.
"Did you know about this?" Banner asks her.
"You wanna think about removing yourself from this environment, doctor?" Natasha asks him.
I was in Calcutta, I was pretty well removed." Banner says.
"Loki's manipulating you." Natasha states.
"And you've been doing what exactly?" Banner asks.
"You didn't come here because I bat my eyelashes at you" Natasha says.
"Yes, and I'm not leaving because suddenly you got a little twitchy. I'd like to know why SHIELD is using the Tesseract to build weapons of mass destruction." Banner says.
"Because of him" Nich Fury states, pointing at Thor.
Stunned, Thor asks. "Me?"
"Last year Earth had a visitor from another planet who had a grudge match that leveled a small town. We learned that not not only are we alone, but we are hopelessly, hilariously outgunned." Fury says.
"My people want nothing but peace with your planet" Thor argues.
"But you're not the only people out there, are you? And you're not the only threat. The world's filling up with people who can't be matched, they can't be controlled." Fury says, looking at Hermione. Tony sees this and stands infront of her, giving Fury a dirty look.
"Like you controlled the cube?" Steve asks.
"You're work with the Tesseract is what drew Loki to it, and his allies. It is the signal to all the realms that the earth is ready for a higher form of war." Thor says.
"A higher form?" Steve asks.
"You forced our hand. We had to come up with something." Fury says.
"Nuclear deterrent. 'Cause that always calms everything right down" Tony says with sarcasm.
"Remind me again how you made your fortune, Stark?" Fury asks.
"I'm sure if he still made weapons, Stark would be neck deep." Steve says.
"Wait! Wait! Hold on! How is this now about me?" Tony asks, walking towards Steve.
I'm sorry, isn't everything?" Steve asks.
"I thought humans were more evolved than this" Thor says.
"Excuse me, did WE come to YOUR planet and blow stuff up?" Fury asks him.
"Did you always give your champions such mistrust?" Thor asks back.
"Are you all really that naive?" Natasha asks him. "SHIELD monitors potential threats."
"Captain America is on a theat watch list?" Banner asks.
"We all are" Was all Natasha says.
"Threat list? You're on that list?" Tony asks Cap.
"Are you above or below angry bees?" Tony jokes.
"Stark, one more crack out of you..." Steve starts.
"That's a threat! I feel threatened!" Tony says. And Hermione unconsciously grabs hold of the scepter, feeling annoyed that they are arguing.
"Are you done?! Or are you just going to keep yelling and fighting with each other until one of you dies? This is not how you should be acting! You are grown adults! Act like them!" Hermione says clearly and everyone shouts up straight away, feeling the power rolling off of her and seeing the scepter in her hand. "You speak of control, yet you court chaos, 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" Hermione says.
"Dr. Granger, calm down" Fury tries to calm her down, it doesn't work.
"Why shouldn't she let off some steam?" Tony asks, putting his arm around Steve. And Steve pushes Tony off.
"A, she has the Scepter in her hand, and B. Do you not feel the power radiating off of her?" Steve asks.
"Yeah, you should of felt it when I accidentally broke her... never mind it knocked me right of my feet!" Tony says. (Her wand, but don't worry, she can still do magic, it's just even more powerful.)
""What is she?" Natasha asks.
"I can't say, it will brake her trust" Tony says.
"What so you care about brakepjng her trust, why? You've broken other people's trust in you plenty of time, why do you care now?" Steve asks.
"Because she's scary when she is mad! And because she can very well kick my arse! That why!" Tony shouts.
"Did I not tell you to shut up!?" Hermione asks, the Scepter glowing brightly.
"You got one thing right, Stark. She is angry when she is angry" Natasha says, and they start to back up slowly.
"This? This is nothing" Tony states, and starts walking towards her slowly.
"Stark! What are you doing?!" Fury whisper yells.
"Shh!" Tony whispers back. "Mia? I'm sorry, we will stop yelling at each other, I promise. Just, calm down and give me the Scepter, please" Tony pleads, now standing next to her, and putting a hand on the Scepter, gently taking it out of her reach and putting it on the table behind her. Just then, all the angry disappears and Hermione, realising what just happened, hugs Tony.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry" Hermione whispers into Tony's chest and everyone else breaths out a breath they didn't know they were holding.
"God, she's even more scarier then me and the other guy, combined" Banner says to Natasha, who silently nods. The computer beeps and they turn to it.
"We got it" Tony says and Banner walks over to the computer.
"Located the Tesseract?" Thor asks
"I can get there faster" Tony says.
"Look, all of us..." Steve gets cut off.
"The Tesseract belongs on Asgard, no human is a match for it. Well, maybe lady Hermione. But that's it!" Thor says, thinking it over. Tony gently gives Hermione to Thor, and turns to leave, but Steve stops him.
"You're not going alone!" He says.
"You gonna stop me?"
"Put on the suit, let's find out." Steve says.
"I'm not afraid to hit an old man" Tony says.
"Put on the suit" Steve says again and at that moment Banner who's looking at the monitor notices something about the Tesseract.
"Oh, my God!" Outside the halicarrier Barton pulls the trigger on his bow. The arrow that was on one of the engine fans, explodes!
