Tony sighed. He was supposed to be on a holiday in Europe with Pepper not trying to track down a mystery robber who didn't steal anything important. Only the thought of Loki returning keep Tony working, if only reluctantly. He had been searching for the thief since Steve had left for Washington and he hadn't cleared up since. The work room was a mess of dismantled robot parts, metal wires, tools and smoke. The only space bigger enough to even stand in was in one corner where Tony himself stood, surrounded by see-through touch screen. Dum-E was taking care of the smoking fire that used to be one of his suits, the robot was doing a very bad job. It was spraying at least 2 metres above its target but Tony had other problems then a malfunctioning robot. Like the fact that someone had broken into the most protected building in the country with ease and could do it again.

Sir, I have found a infrequency in the video cameras Jarvis' voice crackled from the hidden speaker in the ceiling,

Tony pulled the main screen round so he could see it better. "Put it on the main screen, Jarvis."

A flickering image appeared on screen, a rack of shelves piles high with papers and files, one end was covering in glass, dozens of objects were concealed behind it. There was a black half-mask; an old arc reactor; an Ipod; a stack of books in strange text; a pair of silver hand cuffs; a large gun that once belonged to Phil Coulson.

A number ran along the bottom showing the time:

7:30-Normal

7:31-Normal

7:32-Normal

Then, at 7:33, the image changed in an instant. The paper was everywhere, files emptied and the glass shattered, objects littering the floor. All but the Ipod.

Tony sighed in frustration, "Jarvis, what? I've seen this a dozen times!"

Sir, watch again

The video started again, only 3 times as slow. Just before 7:33, Jarvis froze the screen. Tony looked closer. There was nothing, nothing out of the ordinary-

There! There was a telltale wind turbulence of something that moved too fast for the camera to pick up. It looked like a bomb, but with out the explosion, that turned round and left the room again.

"What is it, Jarvis?"

I don't know, sir

"Could it be Loki again?"

It does look like a person, sir

Tony grabbed his phone and dialed Shield.

Steve showed his shield ID to the policewoman next to the door to the Pentagon. She looked at the name, started, then up to his face. "Captain Rogers! I-I'm a big fan of yours, I was in New York, you saved me! I just want to say thank you so much. Oh jeeves! You're amazing!" she rushed tucking her blonde hair behind her ear in a flirtatious way.

Steve blushed and smiled politely, before hurrying away as quickly as possible.

The Pentagon itself look like it normally did, except for the extra police and security tape. He followed another officer to the lift at the back of the hall, taking it down to the basement and below. Steve gaped at the scene.

Millions of sheets and files were up turned and spread over the floor like a carpet, glass crunched under Steve's boots, shelves were pushed to the side with such force some were cracked and hanging in pieces. He moved further in to the wrecked room, avoiding touching any cabinets or large shards of sharp glass, to the middle of the room where the paper on the floor were blackened and crinkled. He crouched down, lifting the burnt pages with a finger. It cracked and turned to ash in his fingers leaving a black smudge on his hand. Interesting...

His phone buzzed, vibrating in his pocket. Steve hooked it out, squinting at the screen, it was Tony calling from New York. Steve still wasn't used to the idea that he could communicate to the other side of the world with something so small. He press the call button firmly,

"Hello? Tony?"

"Cap! Anything interesting?"

"Yes, the rooms completely trashed," he looked round the room in question, "And theres a large burn in the floor, though it doesn't look like it was coursed by fire."

"Yeah, Jarvis picked something up on the cameras, I'll send it to your phone."

The was a tapping of keyboards and the distant sound of Jarvis complaining until Steve's phone bleeped in his hand. His eyes widened as he watched the short clip,

"That explains the burn. Loki?"

Tony paused before answering, "I don't know. Surely he would just trick the cameras in to not seeing him, if it really is him."

"Who else could it be? Who else would, or even could, do this?"

Again Tony considered what he said before answering, "Maybe we should talk to Thor, see if Loki is still on Asgard."

Steve through his arms up, even though Tony couldn't see him, "How can we? Seen an email?" he asked sarcasticly.

"Fury might have a way, I'm going to do a bit more research, meantime why don't you get your arse back here, I have a job for you."

"I'm not your servant, Stark!" Steve shouted down the phone, but Tony had hung up.

Agent Maria Hill stood in the courtyard of the secret HQ of Shield, waiting for their guest to arrive. Steve had come back from Washington earlier today. Director Fury had contacted Asgard, god knows how, and requested a meeting with Thor, the thunder god. Hill had personally made sure all the courtyard windows had been closed and boarded up so no-one witnessed the Norse god arrive.

There was a crash of thunder as the blue sky suddenly became blackened and cloudy, lightening forked to the floor in front of Maria. She shielded her eyes, Thor had arrived in his normal fashion.

"I got your message. What is wrong?" he boomed in his deep voice,

Maria came forward, showing Thor her Ipad, "We have had a break in that is suspiciously like Loki's work."

Thor followed the Agent to the main building, to the meeting room, looking at the details on the Ipad, "Thats not possible. Loki is in prison on Asgard."

"Are you sure?" came a cold voice behind them, Fury had been waiting behind the door.

Thor turned to him with out surprise, "I visited him earlier today, it was defiantly him."

Fury braised his fingers on the table, "Then this is getting serious. At least with Loki we knew what we were expecting."

"That is true but-"

"I've found something interesting!" Tony burst in to the room, Steve at his heels. They paused at the sight of Thor, "Good afternoon, Thor. Loki still in prison?"

Thor greeted his friends with a smile, "Yes, he has not left. What have you found?"

Tony slapped a file on the table, "This boy. He was a suspect in many crimes, mostly burglarly of petty things, but also the Pentagon break in, in 1973 although he wasn't convicted. Three weeks later, he vanished off the face of the earth."

Fury raised his eyebrows, "1973? He would be an old man now wouldn't he?" he said, picking up the file.

"But it would hurt to follow it up." Tony said, innocently.

Fury nodded, "Ok, give it a look. You find out what happened to him, this, um" Fury looked at the file, "This Peter Maximoff."

Yay! I love Peter Maximoff, he is my favourite marvel character with Loki just behind him! Loki will be in it I swear!
