Loki always had a Plan B. He knew how very important it was to have a back-up. One could hardly expect things to go swimmingly every single time. And Captain America was a slippery foe. If Loki wanted to kill him, he'd have to be very, very smart about it. Of course, Loki didn't exactly lack brain power.

Now that the Avenger's base was destroyed, and since Black Widow was out to get him, he would also need to be sneaky, which was also something Loki could pull of very well. At the moment, he had used his magic to transform himself into a raven.

Flying over Manhattan, Loki kept a bird's-eye view (heh heh) out for the Captain. There were just so many…people scurrying about, probably trying to get somewhere to do something unimportant. Oh, humans had such boring lives. Maybe he was doing Capt. America a favor by killing him. No more fighting for his life, no more whining about his girlfriend married someone else, no more crying about Bucky, etc.

Loki was lost in his thoughts when an arrow zoomed past him. What?

Hawkeye and Black Widow had been hanging out at Central Park. Hawkeye wanted to show off a new arrow he had built. That's how he impressed all the chicks.

"So, this new arrow can bend mid-flight. I can aim it left, and after I fire it, it'll turn right. It takes lots of practice AND muscle!"

Black Widow looked uninterested.

Hawkeye pouted. "Look, I'll show you. Up there, see? A large raven. That'll be my target!" And with that, he aimed at the black raven, and fired. It zoomed past the raven, who let out a large squawk.

Black Widow raised an eyebrow. "You missed, Clint." Hawkeye sighed. She was so critical.

"No, I didn't. It titled out of the way, like I explained. Pretty cool, right?" Hawkeye grinned. Black Widow crossed her arms.

"I bet Steve could have done that, seeing how he throws that shield of his…"

Hawkeye's mouth fell open. After a moment of silence, he threw his bow on the ground, sat down, and started weeping. Steve? STEVE? Natasha and Steve were on a first-name basis? He couldn't compete with that!

Black Widow rolled her eyes, and prepared to leave, when she heard a THUMP noise behind her. She turned around – and came face to face with Loki!

After the arrow narrowly avoided stabbing him, Loki grew upset. A mortal dared to hunt him for sport? The foolish human would soon learn the error of his ways. Transforming back into his handsome old self, he landed on the ground – and came face to face with Black Widow, who immediately pointed a gun at his head!

Loki lifted his hand in front of his face in a peace gesture. "You wouldn't really shoot me, would you?"

Widow gave him a mean, nasty look.

"You must die," she stated calmly, and fired bullets.

Hours later, Loki was lying in a ditch. He had managed to dodge most of the bullets, but one had lodged in his leg. He could easily heal the wound, but OH, the pain! That witch had injured him! And he still hadn't located that elusive Captain America!

"Oh, woe is me! I am injured, the American Captain remains hidden, and Thanos and Other are probably having a blast!" Loki mumbled to himself.

Thanos and Other were watching movie in a dark cinema. Thanos was sniffing. Other looked at him oddly.

"Sir, are you crying?" he asked hesitantly. Thanos smacked him.

"NO, no I'm not! Leave me alone!" Thanos yelled. Other walked out of the theater. He had known seeing Titanic was a bad idea!
