~O~O~O~

"I'll be watching from this monitor. If I get anything, I'll relay it to you via your earpiece. Remember, you're going to have to let him get under your skin before he'll reveal anything- he needs to think that you are too absorbed in your own pain to hear his plan."

Natasha nodded and let the doors slide silently shut after her. Raegan settled herself down on the chair Agent Coulson had procured for her in front of the computer and watched.

Natasha stood out of Loki's line of sight as he paced his cell, observing as he paused and looked up at her, a small grin breaking out on his face.

"There's not many people who can sneak up on me," he said.

"But you figured I'd come," Natasha replied harshly.

"After…" He appeared to lose track of his thoughts, but he took a confident step forward. "After whatever tortures Fury can concoct, you would appear as a friend, as a balm." He paused. "And I would cooperate."

"I want to know what you've done to Agent Barton," Natasha said plainly.

Loki shrugged. "I'd say I've expanded his mind."

"And once you've won, once you become king of the mountain, what happens to his mind?" Natasha asked, approaching the cell.

"Is this love, Agent Romanoff?" Loki asked succinctly.

"Love is for children," Natasha said, repeating the line that Raegan had heard quite a few times in her dealings with Natasha and Clint. "I owe him a debt."

~O~O~O~

Raegan watched as Natasha sat down and began to talk to Loki about her life- it was a tactic she had employed before- the exchange of information that Loki hadn't realised was going on.

"What do you think you are doing here, Miss Adakai?" Fury's loud voice startled Raegan out of whatever trance the conversation had put her in.

"Natasha asked me to supervise, and also to check out his mind while she was talking to him. There's a lot of hate and rage going on inside his mind- I'm having trouble sorting through that," she replied coolly.

"What interrogation method is she using?" Coulson asked, appearing behind Fury's shoulder.

"Twenty-five," Raegan said, turning back to the screen.

"No, absolutely not," Fury growled. "She'll reveal too much information to the enemy."

He started toward the door, but without even looking, Raegan shot green light at him, causing him to pause and turn to her.

"It's working, you idiot. After analysing Loki's mental state, I decided that this would be the best form of interrogation. Now, shut up so I can watch this."

Fury just stared at her in disbelief as she continued watching.

~O~O~O~

"This is my bargain, you mewling quim!" Loki spat at Natasha as she backed away from him, fear evident on her face.

She took a deep breath and sounded as if she were crying.

"You're a monster," she said quietly.

Loki chuckled menacingly from where he stood. "Oh no. You brought the monster."

Natasha straightened. "So, Banner? That's your play?"

"What?"

Raegan put her fingertips to her ear. "Loki means to unleash the Hulk," she informed the team. "Keep Banner in the lab, we're on our way. Send Thor as well."

Natasha was walking out of the room before pausing at the steps, spinning to face Loki.

"Thank-you for your co-operation," she said quietly before exiting to see Fury and Coulson standing next to Raegan, who was waiting for her.

"Let's go," Raegan said, motioning for Natasha to follow her.

"Where do you think you are going, Miss Adakai?" Fury asked, grasping Raegan's upper arm tightly. She flipped him and smirked at him as he lay on the floor, groaning.

"I'm going to go and save the world, Director. You can get in my way if you want, but I don't recommend it."

Coulson stared at Raegan in admiration before offering his hand to the Director as Natasha and Raegan ran away, to the lab, he presumed.

"She's certainly something else," he remarked to Fury as the peeved Director dusted himself off.

"That she is," he replied, staring after her. "Tell me, Coulson, how did she get to Earth?"

~O~O~O~

"What is Phase Two?" Tony asked, swinging himself off the bench he was sitting on and displaying the screen he was looking at to the whole room- including Fury.

"Phase Two is-" Raegan began, before Steve dumped a large, nasty looking gun on the bench beside her.

"SHIELD uses the Tesseract to make weapons. Sorry, the computer was moving a little slow for me," he said, glancing at Raegan. "You knew about this?"

She nodded. "I knew it was important- but I didn't have all the information. The man's mind is like a safe. I know that it looks a bit like a HYDRA weapon from your memories, yeah?"

"Hang on- you said mind." Tony held up a hand to halt the conversation.

"Yes, Stark, I can read minds. I can hear your thoughts, your deepest secrets and fears, and I can see the faces of your loved ones," she snapped.

"I don't have any-"

"Pepper Potts, CEO of Stark Industries. You're thinking about proposing once this mess is over," Raegan replied. "Now, you hacked into the mainframe. Tell me what you found on Phase Two."

"They're nukes- based off old HYDRA weaponry from what I can see," Tony replied, showing her a screen just as Fury stormed in, guns metaphorically blazing.

"What is Phase Two, Director?" Steve asked, although he already knew the answer. Fury went tight-lipped and refused to make eye contact with anybody in the room.

Thor and Natasha entered the room quickly behind him, Thor wearing a look of grim determination that seemed to inform everybody that he was just about ready to punch somebody's face in.

"Did you know about this?" Bruce asked Natasha.

She, like Fury, also refused eye contact, and swiftly changed the subject.

"Do you want to think about removing yourself from this environment, Doctor?" she asked in her assassin's voice- cold and business-like.

Bruce snorted. "I was in Calcutta. I was pretty well-removed."

Natasha took a few steps toward Bruce. "Loki is manipulating you."

"And you've been doing what, exactly?" he shot back.

"You didn't come here because I batted my eyelashes at you," Natasha said, her voice going colder if it were possible.

"I'm not leaving just because you're suddenly getting a little twitchy," he replied, walking over to the screen with the Phase Two plans on them. "I want to know why SHIELD is using the Tesseract to create weapons of mass destruction."

A device on his wrist beeped, but he ignored it.

"Because of him," Fury replied, pointing to Thor.

Thor looked incredibly confused. "Me?"

"Last year, Earth witnessed a grudge match the likes of which we had never seen," Fury said. Raegan rolled her eyes at this statement. "Which levelled a small town," he continued, his tone sterner. "We had to come up with something."

"Oh yeah, because a nuclear deterrent always calms everything down," Tony interjected.

Raegan found herself instantly warming to him.

"Miss Adakai! What have you told them?" Fury shouted, noticing her small smile.

Raegan shrugged. "All of it," she replied nonchalantly.

Fury strode over to her and stared down at her.

"You disobeyed orders," he said eventually as they had a staring contest.

"You are in danger of violating some very big international agreements. I think we've both done something wrong today, haven't we?"

"What did you do wrong?" Thor asked curiously. Raegan gave Steve as sad smile.

Watch this, her voice said, echoing within his brain. Her lips hadn't moved.

"I didn't take Loki up on his recruitment offer."

And that was when Fury's hand descended and connected with her face.

~O~O~O~

A/N: So, that was kind of a terrible ending to the chapter... I'm sorry.

I would love to hear your thoughts! Leave a review! And if you have any questions, I will try and answer them.

This is a quick answer to Rick's question: I'm considering it. I don't know if I'll get a good storyline going for Raegan, but I might go with CA:TWS... It may take time. I haven't really considered finishing this fic yet. Raegan has a lot of potential as an OC- I will try my best!
