Stuttgart, Germany
Loki had killed a man again, the plan was working as he completed his task as he went outside for the next part of his tasks to do as his clothes changed from Earth formal men's clothes to his Asgardian armour. He looked to the people terrified and running from him, he smiled as he looked at his work as he still had more to do.
"Kneel before me. I said, KNEEL!" Yelled Loki in the streets as he stamped his sceptre to the ground sending a shock wave through the streets. The people were still terrified as the did as he asked.
"Is not this 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."
A old man looked to the numbers tattooed on his wrists as he shook his head then rose up to face Loki the Norse god of Mischief and lies. "Not to men like you."
Loki Smiled "There are no men like me."
The old man looked at Loki as he shook his head again "There are *always* men like you."
"Look to your elder, people. Let him be an example."
Loki aimed as a shot of power burst from his sceptre at the man as Captain America jumped in front as He held his Shield to take the blast deflecting it back at Loki knocking him off his feet.
"Sir are you all right?" Said American Dream as she helped him up.
"You know, the last time I was in Germany and saw a man standing above everybody else, we ended up disagreeing."
"I am all right American Dreamer."
"The soldier. A man out of time. And the lady inspired by time."
"I'm not the one who's out of time." Said Captain America, "Dreamer get the people out of here."
"Right." She said.
"That's him Captain America." said the old German Man.
Dreamer Smiled, "I know right? Everything old is new again."
It wasn't long before there was AC/DC music playing everywhere as Dreamer returned to see Iron Man AKA Tony Stark come in and help the Captain out.
"Stand down Loki." He said as he showed off all his little rockets peeking out of his suit.
"Stark." said Steve as I approached.
"Captain." He said, as he then looked at Shannon.
"Dreamer."
"Stark ass."
"Oh so you do have a sense of humour Dreamer."
"Whatever let's just get this jerk to HQ."
On the plane ride back Loki sat quietly smiling.
"You know I thought he'd put up more of a fight." Shannon spoke, as she had her back to the cockpit as she watched Loki.
"I don't like it."
"You and me both Rogers," Shannon said still glaring at Loki.
"What? Rock of Ages and his Pin-up girl giving up so easily?" Said Tony Stark
"Pin-up Girl? Really?" Replied Shannon, "I'm immune to guys like you Stark."
"Ooh ouch I don't recall Rhodey saying you were good with comebacks Starlette."
"Starlette? Well that one isn't half bad." Shannon admitted.
"All right Starlette it is then."
"I don't remember it being ever that easy. This guy packs a wallop."
"Still, you are pretty spry, for an older fellow. What's your thing, Pilates?"
"What?"
"It's like calisthenics. You might have missed a couple things, you know, doing time as a Capsicle."
Steve looked at Stark annoyed, "Fury didn't tell us he was calling you in.
"Yeah, there's a lot of things Fury doesn't tell you. And the ladies should know that better than us two."
"I've never had that happen," admitted Shannon honestly, "I was busy fighting other people's battles in the Middle east fighting Extremists."
"And look where that got you?"
"What the blue blazes are you talking about?"
"You've been fighting those guys for years and they still keep coming back when are you going to take it to them."
"Because the last time I did it I lost more than winning the darned so called war!" Shannon snarled at Tony as she stormed to a seat, "I had nothing to go home to, SHIELD was the only thing I had left and to me they were the only people who cared about my future."
"Co-pilot how about let Shannon take your seat." said Natasha, as her co-pilot and her switched seats as they noticed a storm approaching. "Hang tight guys looks like a storm is approaching." said Natasha.
The guys all saw a worried look on Loki's face.
"Oh come on it's just a little thunder."
"I'm not overly fond of what follows..."
A thud was on the top of the jet as the cargo door opens as a Blonde haired man jumped in as he attacked the guys.
"I am truly sorry but I must take the prisoner back to Asgard." He said as he grabbed Loki and flew out. 'He must be the that Thor guy that Uncle Phil was telling me of.' guessed Shannon.
"Stark we need a plan of attack."
"I have one and that's Attack."
"That's not a very good plan." Shannon replied, "Thor is Loki's brother the god of Thunder."
"I'd sit this one out Captain, These guys are practically gods." said Natasha.
"There's only one god and I'm pretty sure he doesn't dress like that." Steve said putting on a parachute then jumping out after them.
"I got to admit Captain Rogers doesn't disappoint you." Shannon admitted.
"You like him do you?"
"I've always liked him, Natasha." Shannon admitted.
"You know what I mean." She replied as she found a area to land.
"Natasha, no not in that way," She spoke, "he's been through a lot, I think he has to heal his heart first."
"So you plan to keep things professional between you two?"
"That and be strictly friends too."
"Like Clint and Me?"
"Why not?"
"I suppose you have a point. But I still have to knock some sense to him like he did with me years ago."
