Hey! I havent updated in a while sorry...Anyway I realized I forgot a disclaimer so here it is.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own anything but 'Tessie' in this story.
This statement brought pause. Lots and lots and lots of pause. "Sssssooooooooo…..?" There was a long silence with me just bouncing on my toes waiting for something to happen. Anything to happen.
"The...Tesseract?"
"Yes Captain! I am the Tesseract. I know it may be hard to understand considering the few times I saw you, I was a box. But I changed my shape. It was really quite hard. I mean shape shifting itself is very easy but without being able to properly conduct magic it becomes considerably more challenging. And to conduct magic with less risk you need to have arms or legs at the very least. But of course-"
"Okay Dory, your rambling. Time to stop. Now. How the hell are you the Tesseract? And just give us a straight answer please." I blinked. The Man of Iron was right to the point. Huh I've heard otherwise. Seen otherwise.
"Well. I was able to shapeshift into my human form. It took decades to get myself to change. But the specifics don't matter. Anyway, I wanted to come and apologize for playing a part in the attack on your realm. And to the men who were forced to look into me. Is that a satisfying answer, Man of Iron?"
"...Okay, um wow. So you were like alive the whole time? How?"
"Yes, Man of Iron I am alive. And the 'how' is a very long story."
"Sheesh. Like-wow." There was another long pause before I cleared my throat.
"If that is all then I would like to go see Erik Selvig now. And perhaps Coulson." The last bit of my sentence was mumbled, and I doubt anyone heard it.
"No! You cannot be the Tesseract-it is impossible! The Tesseract is merely a cube! You are lying! Why are you really here?! Who are you conspiring with?!" Thor looked quite angry as he raised his hammer in what was supposed to be a threatening way.
My temper flared. How dare he accuse me of lying! "I am the Tesseract your highness," I spit it out with a snarl. He was hardly acting like royalty. "now if you would be ever so kind as to drop your 'oh-so-frightening' hammer and listen to what I had just said perhaps even you would understand with your limited mind! Or ask your brother-perhaps he can put it into simple terms for your dim-witted perspective!"
Thor looked like he was just told he had been born a woman. Horrified and unbelieving. And slightly confused. Loki however looked like he might burst out laughing-I doubt he had seen someone snap at Thor like in quite a while.
"Geez, Tessie calm down its all good. Right guys?" There were nods from around the group and I smirked.
"Now. If there are no other questions I have places to be, things to see, coffee to try." Clint tentatively raised his hand.
"Um yeah, so uh do you like know everything in my memory?" With a solemn smile I nodded. "Like everything?"
"Yes friend Clint. I am sorry. Though some things I watched play out from where I was kept."
"...Like…what?"
"Budapest."
"Wait! You know what happened in Budapest?! Dude even I dont know! SHIELD doesn't have anything on that file! Tessa tell me what happened! You havvvvveee toooo!"
The Man of Iron screeched and yelled about how I must tell him what happened. With a chuckle I shook my head and bid them all farewell.
