Nat and I walked towards Coulson and Steve as they stepped off a jet,
"Agent Romanoff, Agent Fury." Coulson greeted us, "Captain Rodgers."
"Nice to see you joined us, Steve." I smiled up at him.
"Nice to see you again, Kat." Steve looked over at Nat, "M'am."
"Hi." Nat looked at Coulson, "They need you at the bridge, they're starting the base trace."
"See you there." Coulson told us before leaving.
"There was quiet the buzz around here, finding you in the ice. Thought Coulson was gonna swoon." Nat told Steve as we walked on the deck.
"I told him I wouldn't judge if he did." I commented. "Did he ask you to sign his Captain America trading cards yet?"
"Trading cards?"
"They're vintage." Nat said, "He's very proud."
In front of us was Bruce Banner. And he looked very confused and lost.
"Dr. Banner." Steve called out.
Bruce walked over to Steve and shook his hand, "Oh, yeah, hi. They told me you'd be coming."
"Word is you can find the cube." Steve said.
"Is that the only word on me?" Bruce asked.
"Only word I care about." Steve replied.
"I'm Katherine Fury. Call me Kat." I smiled at Bruce and shook his hand.
"Fury? Nick's daughter?" Bruce questioned.
"Adopted." I stated.
"Ah. Makes sense now." Bruce replied before looking at Steve, "Must be strange for you, all of this."
"Well, this is actually kinda familiar." Steve responded.
"Gentlemen, you might want to step inside in a minute. It's going to get a little hard to breathe." Nat spoke up.
The Helicarrier began to power up and the two men walked over to the edge,
"Is this a submarine?" Steve asked.
"Really? They want me submerged in a pressurized metal container?" Bruce questioned.
Once the Helicarrier rose into the sky, Bruce smiled,
"Oh, no, this is much worse!"
We led Bruce and Steve inside, and when we got to the main room, Steve looked around in awe. He walked over to my dad and handed him ten dollars.
"Doctor, thank you for coming." Dad said to Bruce, shaking his hand.
"Thanks for asking nicely. So, uh... how long am I staying?" Bruce asked.
"Once we get our hands on the Tesseract, you're in the clear." Dad answered.
"Where are you with that?" Bruce questioned.
"We're sweeping every wirelessly accessible camera on the planet. Cell phones, laptops. If it's connected to a satellite, it's eyes and ears for us." Coulson answered.
"That's still not gonna find them in time." I said.
"You have to narrow the field. How many spectrometers do you have access to?" Bruce asked.
"How many are there?" Dad replied.
"Call every lab you know, tell them to put the spectrometers on the roof and calibrate them for gamma rays. I'll rough out a tracking algorithm based on cluster recognition. At least we could rule out a few places. Do you have somewhere for me to work?" Bruce said.
"Agent Romanoff, would you show Dr. Banner to his laboratory, please." Dad ordered.
"You're gonna love it, Doc. We got all the toys." Nat said as she led Bruce down the hall.
"Suit up." Steve told Nat and I.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"We found Loki." He answered.
"All right."
Nat and I ran into the changing room, where our outfits were. We both had the same one. Once we changed we met with Captain America and we got on a jet and Nat started flying towards Germany.
When we got there, it was night, and Loki was stood in front of a group of people who were kneeling. Steve and I got off the jet and hid.
"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." Loki said to the people.
I watched as an old man stood, "Not to men like you."
Loki smiled, "There are no men like me."
"There are always men like you." The old man said.
"Look to your elder, people. Let him be an example." Loki pointed his scepter at the man and Captain America ran and jumped in front of the man, the bolt hitting his shield and it hit Loki. I ran over and yelled at people to run.
"You know, the last time I was in Germany and saw a man standing above everybody else, we ended up disagreeing." Steve said as he walked towards Loki.
"The soldier. A man out of time." Loki stated as he soot up.
"I'm not the one who's out of time." Steve replied.
Nat hovered the jet behind us and aimed the gun at Loki, "Loki, drop the weapon and stand down."
Loki fired the scepter at the jet and Nat dodged it as Steve threw his shield. Loki and Steve fought, and when Steve was thrown at a fountain, I punch Loki. He swung his scepter, and I dropped to the ground to dodge it and I kicked his legs out from underneath him. He grabbed my foot and I fell, too.
"Aren't you a pretty little thing?" Loki smiled when he stood up.
Steve threw his shield once again at Loki, but he used the scepter to hit it away. Steve tried to punch him, but Loki dodged and swung his scepter into Steve's back, which threw him a few yards away.
I stood and Loki grabbed my arm and spun me into his chest and pointed his scepter at my neck, "Kneel." He ordered Steve.
"Not today." I said before stepping on his foot and spinning to twist his arm behind him.
Loki kicked me in the knees and I fell. Steve ran over to hit him, but Loki threw him away. I was about to stand up when I heard a rock song play from the speakers on the jet.
"About time." I whispered.
I rolled away once I saw Tony and he shot Loki. Tony aimed weapons at Loki as the Asgardian sat up, "Make a move, Reindeer Games."
Loki raised his hands in surrender and his armor disappeared and Tony got rid of the weapons, "Good move."
"Mr. Stark." Steve greeted.
"Captain."
"Thanks, Tin Man." I smiled as I walked up to him,
"No problem, princess." Tony replied.
