Hours later on the Helicarrier. SHIELD's special forces escorted Loki to his cell as the gang and Shannon watched from the Bridge's monitors. They had just finished watching Fury taking Loki to his cell as Shannon guessed it had to be a cell for Banner if the Hulk came out.

"He really grows on you doesn't he?" said Bruce.

"Thor what's his play?" Asked Steve.

"He has an army, 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 explained.

"An Army. From outer Space."

"So he's building another portal. That's what he needs Erik Selvig for." Said Bruce.

"Selvig?"

"He's an astrophysicist."

"He's a friend."

"Loki has them under some kind of spell. Along with one of ours."

"So far nothing in ancient technology I've looked up can reverse the effects," I said, "I wouldn't be surprised all someone needs is a concussion to fix that."

"I wanna know why Loki let us take him. He's not leading an army from here."

"I don't think we should be focusing on Loki. That guy's brain is a bag full of cats. You can smell crazy on him."

"Have a care how you speak! Loki is beyond reason, but he is of Asgard and he is my brother!"

"He killed eighty people in two days."

"He's adopted."

"Romanoff I need you to interrogate Loki," Said Fury.

"I called the curator's assistant of the museum iridium was stolen." Said Shannon.

"What would that be used for?"

"Stabilizing agent." said Tony Stark as he entered the Bridge heading right for the flight controls. He covered one eye as he tried figure out how Fury flies the massive carrier. "How does he fly this thing?"

"He turns," said Maria Hill.

"Sounds exhausting," Tony muttered, "That guy is playing Galaga."

"What's his score?" asked Shannon.

Tony looked right at her, "You a gamer girl? Isn't that a surprise."

"I grew up with the classics Stark." Shannon said, "I'm a old school gamer girl."

"Back to the topic at hand, Does Loki need any particular kind of power source?" Asked Steve.

"He'd have to heat the cube to a hundred and twenty million Kelvin just to break through the Coulomb barrier." Mentioned Bruce.

"Unless Selvig has figured out how to stabilize the quantum tunnelling effect." Said Tony.

"Well, if he could do that, he could achieve heavy ion fusion at any reactor on the planet."

"Finally, someone who speaks English."

"Is that what just happened?" Asked Steve.

"Don't worry about it Steve I understood about half of what they were saying." Shannon replied to him as they watched Bruce and Tony shake hands.

"It's good to meet you, Dr. Banner. Your work on anti-electron collisions is unparalleled. And I'm a huge fan of the way you lose control and turn into an enormous green rage monster." Said Tony.

"Thanks."

"Dr. Banner is only here to track the cube. I was hoping you might join him." Nick said to Tony.

"Let's start with that stick of his. It may be magical, but it works an awful lot like a Hydra weapon."

"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."

"Monkeys? I do not understand." said Thor puzzled.

"I do!" said Steve as Shannon Snickers, while Tony rolls his eyes, as Steve smiled, "I understood that reference."

"Excuse me for a minute gents," Shannon then left the room as they heard her laugh.

"Well, Captain Rogers congratulations you made the lady laugh." said Coulson.

"This is the most I heard her laugh in a week in years." Said Maria, "It's nice to see her old self make a comeback."

"Really?" Asked Steve.

"Yeah. Really."

"Maybe I should talk with her."

"Yeah you do that Capsicle."

Steve left as he heard Tony say. "Of all the ladies in this world how come my charm doesn't work on Maria Hill, Black Widow and Starlette girl?"

"Because we despise men that are narcissistic egomaniacs like you and rather a man who's more of a gentleman like Captain America." said Maria who was still in the room, Steve smiled feeling good.

Steve found Shannon playing a pinball video game on a computer when she saw him, and paused her game. "Hey," She spoke, "Look I know you weren't making a joke over there but I just felt a bit out of place with the science bros talk. I understood about half of what they said."

"I barely understood a word they were talking about."

"I understand, Steve... Look people are noticing a big difference in me."

"Everyone is telling me the same story."

"I figured that," Shannon said, "Look all I really needed a moral boost."

"Oh," he replied with a chuckle, "I thought-."

"Oh no," She laughed, "But I'd be honored to be you're friend Steve."

He smiled, "Thank you, Shannon. I hope we can be great friends."

"Great."

"Trade stories?"

"Like what do you want to know?"

"Hmm... Good question I honestly don't know where to start."

"Well when you think of something let me know."

It was a few minutes later when Steve saw came back, "You used to work in archives before you went to save Melly right?"

"Yes."

"What else was there related to the Tesseract did they have?"

Shannon thought for a second, "There were some big boxes but I didn't have clearance to open them up I just did documents."

"Do you know where they are?"

"I can tap the database from here," Shannon said as she went onto the computer as she saw on the screen "They've been moved onto here."

"Where exactly."

"Follow me." She spoke as they went to the area, as Steve then forced the door open. They saw plenty of boxes, Shannon scanned the area as she saw them "I see them up a few levels."

"Ladies first."
