Nick Fury jumped inside the building before anyone had a chance to panic. Bruce almost lost it, before he realized who it was. "We started getting strange readings!" the man cried, every bit of him looking just as menacing as always. "I think an Asgardian-"

"Old news, Fury," Tony said, rolling his eyes at the melodrama. "It was Loki."

"Him again!"

Tony snorted. "You sound like Robin from that Batman show in the sixties."

"I understood that reference!" Steve said, pleased with himself.

Tony looked like he wanted to go find a desk and bang his head on it a couple of times. "Look Capcicle, I-"

"Enough!" Fury barked.

Thor intervened. "Your eyepatch reminds me of my father."

Everyone gave him an indignant look.

"And Loki is right here," Thor continued, picking Loki up. His head lolled backwards over his arm.

"Oh."

Natasha decided the boys were getting too rowdy. "Can we all just go to bed now? We can take care of Loki in the morning."

Everyone nodded in agreement, except for Steve, who seemed the be the only one who remembered why they were all awake in the first place. "But what about the elevator?"

"Captain!" Thor moaned. "Let's not go about that nonsense again! I'm tired!"

"Well, let me see the hammer, then. Please?" Steve asked.

Thor laughed. "I'm sorry, but you are not worthy, remember?"

Steve grimaced, then bent over and picked up Mjolnir. The look on Thor's face was priceless. Being kinder than most, Captain America decided not to laugh, but Tony would have none of that. He laughed so hard that Thor turned red with embarrassment.

"Ah," Thor said. "I see."

"Don't worry," Steve reassured him. "You can rule Asgard."

Natasha rolled her eyes. "Good night, guys. I don't want to see this." She left briskly.

Bruce looked exhausted. "I'm going to hit the sack too. Please don't use any more airhorns."

"If you people are done with your little games now, I'll go put Loki in the holding cell now," Hawkeye said, taking the unconscious form of the frost giant from Thor and stalking off to the elevator.

Nick Fury shook his head, exasperated. "Behave, kids," he said, then stepped out of the window into his helicopter.

"Next time use the door!" Stark yelled after him.
