Chapter 2: The Scepter
Hey thanks for reading my story. It's my first Fan fiction and I'm really enjoying making it, oh and I don't own the Avengers, sadly.
"You mean to tell me that there is a chance that, Loki, of all people may have returned?!" Yelled a very pissed off Natasha Romanoff at Clint Barton, who seemed quite scared at the moment. He had just filled her in on the mission, which is to: A, find out if Loki really is back, B, protect the scepter from him if he is back.
"Well," Barton injected, "we don't know for sure if he is really back."
"How do you even know at all if he is back?" Natasha asked trying to calm down. Clint couldn't understand why Natasha was all worked up over one guy; we had defeated him before we would do it again.
"There was a blast of radiation, not huge but noticeable, from the Sahara desert. We at first made nothing of it but then we saw pictures." He explained, "Where there was the radiation people took pictures of streaks of 'blue lightning' and figure that looked like it materialize from the storm, then all of S.H.I.E.L.D got concerned." Natasha took in the information trying to find a way where Loki wasn't here. While she was thinking Barton's cell rang and he picked it up, after around five minutes he hung up, "Oh and there is one more thing Natasha," Clint added, "Thor's here."
When they arrived the rest of the Avengers were already there, waiting for them. Everyone seemed tense and concerned, except Tony Stark, of course.
"Hey princess what took so long?" He asked with a sarcastic grin plastered on his face. Natasha sent him daggers with her eyes at then looked at Nick Fury who clearly wanted to start this meeting as soon as possible.
"Alright" Fury announced, "I have assigned you all with specific tasks so when you get them, stick to them." He dragged out the last word as he stared at Tony with the same glare a teacher might give an annoying student. "Thor, Barton, Steve you are looking for Loki and any signs of what he might be planning." All of them nodded without a word. "Bruce and Tony you will be looking for any signs of radiation, and Natasha I'm putting you in charge of guarding the scepter." Everyone quickly went to where they had to go. Barton and his team grabbed a plane and left, Bruce and Tony headed to the lab and Natasha decided to hit the training room.
She quickly wrapped her hand and walked towards the nearest punching bag. She focused all her energy in to kicking and punching the bag, trying not to think about Loki. She had fought many villains, been a Russian spy, but Loki he…he got to her in another way. She tried to forget the conversation in the capsule, but she couldn't. After about two hours she gave up and headed to where the scepter was held, she knew she didn't have to be there 24/7 but wanted to be there now. She grabbed a chair, propped it up against the cell where the sceptre was and fell asleep.
She didn't know how long she slept but she could tell it was night when she woke up. When she checked her watch she found out, surprisingly, it was 10pm. After she looked at monitor that showed the inside of the holding cell she slouched back into her chair and pulled out a laptop. Quickly she pulled up an S.H.I.E.L.D only messaging page. Her hands flew over keyboard as she sent out a message out to Steve, Tony, and Clint just saying that all was good where she was. When no one responded she figured everyone was asleep. As she sat she thought some more about the dark-haired god and how weird it was that she had dream about the night before. All of a sudden Black Widow was pulled out of her thought. All the monitors of the rest of the base went down in the room, all except the one showing the scepter.
Faster than you would think possible she whips out her gun, and jumps up, mentally checking where all her weapon are. As she walks towards the wall of computer screens that normally show every corner of the building, now only showing a black screen. She only got half way there before another sound caught her attention. Click. The door locks.
"Why hello Ms. Romanoff, glad you could join me." Natasha whips around pointing her gun at the God materializing in front of her. "Oh now don't play with that." He smirks and almost instantly Black Widow releases the gun. She gasps, as she remembers how powerful Loki is. A playful grin appeared on his face. "Now, have you forgotten who I am?" He asks, clearly toying with her.
"Probably as much as you have forgotten me," she answers as she kicks out a knife hidden in her boot and throws it at Loki. It hits his arm, right where she aimed, but he simply pulled it out laughing, the knife left no wound.
"Foolish girl, it seems you have forgotten what I can do." Quicker than the eye could see he jumped in front of her, pulled her arms behind her back, and using his magic paralyzed her. "Now," he snarled into her ear, "I'm going to get back my scepter and there is nothing you can do about it, and I will be back!" With that he simply walked through the door grabbed the scepter and walked out. Before he left the building he did one last thing. He put his hands on her shoulder and put a spell on Natasha. Her head started to feel fuzzy, her eyes heavy, and in a matter of seconds she was asleep on the ground.
"Goodnight Ms. Romanoff."
