All things in italics are thoughts, not spoken out loud, I hope you all enjoy.
"He is so annoying!" Dr Banner's voice called to Callie, who was propped up on a stool by an empty bench happily toasting marshmallows over a Bunsen burner.
"I know." She stated, glaring over at Tony who was gently tapping the small screen against his chin as he waited to crack in to the secret files of S.H.E.I.L.D. She glared at him before turning back to put another marshmallow on the spoke and passing it through the Bunsen burner flames, before happily blowing on it to cool it down.
"I mean, all he does is sit there and not talk... Well I mean he's spoken to you, but that wasn't really speaking, more using you to annoy Director Fury..." Dr Banner continued, raising an eyebrow as she started to agree with him and then stare at him in confusion. "I'm talking about Loki, not Tony."
"Oh, I was talking about Stark..."
"You know I am in the room, right?" Tony asked, looking up at Callie and returning her glare. "And with out me this would be taking Banner way longer then it needs to." He added, smirking as Callie dropped her gaze and went back to roasting the marshmallows, before shyly handing Dr Banner one.
"Naw, young love." Tony stated, grunting as a hot marshmallow collided with the side of his face. "Ow, that may have just marked my perfect skin!"
"Be thankful it wasn't my knife!"
Tony looked Callie up and down slowly, letting his eyes travel over her S.H.E.I.L.D uniform. "And where do you keep this knife...?" He asked, raising his eyebrow when he saw Dr Banner move to stand next to Callie in a way that Tony could only call protective and slightly possessive.
"Ok, ok... Now where is Loki's brother?" Tony asked, quickly changing the topic so he didn't find out where Callie hid her knife by finding it in his skin.
"In the theatre room watching Wizard Of Oz." Callie stated, laughing as she managed to get marshmallow on the tip of her nose from looking at Tony while she tried to put it in her mouth. "He wanted to know what the flying monkeys were all about. I think he was rather thoughtful that they were pests that he hadn't met."
"I'm sure he's very disappointed to find that they are only from a movie..." Dr Banner stated, before swiping another marshmallow and walking back to the screen that was still scanning for the Tesseract.
Callie looked up at the clock on the wall and sighed, it was nearly time for her to deliver Loki his food. She was the only one that had the guts to actually go in to the prison with him to give it to him, though her father was not to pleased when he had found out.
"Tell me Callie, are you curious over why your father has kept things from you?" Tony asked, remembering how she had stayed quietly next to Dr Banner during his conversation with Steve about Director Fury hiding things about the Tesseract from the group. "I mean, you stayed so silent during our conversation, and you were not working, I saw your screen, you were playing tetris."
"I would have one too if it wasn't for that stupid block!" Callie said, she had always hated the zigzag block in Tetris.
"I told you to place the square across the other side, but you didn't listen to me..." Dr Banner said, hoping to keep the conversation on Tetris instead of making Callie answer Tony's first question, he was sure she was trying the same thing.
"I am sure getting tips and hints from a physicist is cheating!" Callie laughed before looking back at Tony who was staring at her expectantly. "I don't care, Tony. If my father has it secret then it needs to be a secret for a reason. I don't want to dally in something that has nothing to do with me..."
"And yet a history and mythology major is here." Tony said, making Callie glare at him before grabbing her head in pain.
"I am hungry Callie Laufeyson. Please stop your horrendous flirting with the man-beast and bring me some of the stuff you humans call food."
"Callie!" Dr Banner cried, rushing to her side as she fell to her knees and whimpered against his chest. "I told you to tell Director Fury that Loki was getting in your head." He whispered, stroking her hair as her shakes started to calm down.
"It's nothing, Bruce." Callie whispered, staring up in to his worried eyes. "Really, I'm fine. He just wants food, and he can't really call out for it, dad will see it as weakness." She ignored how that sentence made her sound like she sympathised with the God, but she gratefully let Dr Banner help her up. "I'll just get him the food and he'll leave me alone. He always does."
With a small smile at him she walked out of the room, shutting the door quietly behind her.
"First name basis, eh doc?"
"Shut up, Tony!"
"It took you long enough, did you have to kiss him goodbye?"
Callie flinched as Loki's voice once again filled her head as she walked towards his prison with a tray of food. She had forgotten to wear her gemstone that normally protected her from his full frontal psychic attack, and she was shocked at the power that he held over her mind if he wanted to, and yet he didn't.
"Shut up and get back to where you have to stand." Callie said, in no mood for his word games. She watched and waited as he made his way to the back of the prison and sat on the bed, smirking at the hilarity of how she was treating him. "Yes I know if you wanted to then you could kill me and leave before I even got a foot in, but you can't and you know it!"
"You'd be willing to kill yourself to keep the planet safe?" Loki asked, motioning to the key chain that rested against her thigh from its hold on her belt buckle. "You press that button and we both burn."
"I'd rather burn then let you let the world burn." Callie moved to the door and kept her eyes on him as the door opened allowing her to step through and then slammed shut behind her, trapping her in the prison. She knew that the others would be watching on the monitor and waiting just outside the door in case she needed help.
"And if I burn you won't find the cube..."
"If you burn, you won't be able to control that army you are so hell bent on bringing to our planet. An army without someone to control it is as useless as a wand without a wizard behind it."
"You sound so sure of yourself, Callie Laufeyson..."
"My name is Callie Fury!"
Placing the tray down on the table she watched as he stood slowly and moved to the tray, frowning as he looked at the meal. She knew he was trying to decide if they had slipped anything in to it or not.
"There is nothing in it, apart from the ingredients. I didn't like what they were giving you so I decided to cook this meal." She smirked as she saw his eyes widen a little bit before he schooled his features once more. "Yes, I can cook. Don't think you are getting this every night, I just don't want Thor to be taking back a dead body with him."
"You also feel sorry for me, I can see it in your eyes. They soften in sympathy when they look at me."
"I only feel sorry for you for the way you have been treated in the past, I do not wish to treat you that way. You are an arrogant ass who needs to learn responsibility and how to be less psychotic, but you are still alive. And even though they are buried beneath hatred and pain, you still feel."
"You sound like my brother!" Loki snarled, glaring at her and standing to his full height. "Feelings are a weakness I learnt long ago not to fall pray to. Tell me Callie, if something happened to your dear, dear Dr Banner, how would you react?" He watched as she silently left the prison again. "You would burn inside with hatred, wouldn't you? Oh you know he tried to kill himself, you know that the only reason he is alive is because of the beast. Don't you tell me that you don't hate that Captain America when you see him. Don't tell me you don't resent him for what he made Dr Banner do to himself!"
"I suggest you eat up, Loki." Callie said, her voice calm and soft as she looked at him. "No doubt my father will come and take it away once he learns you don't have the S.H.E.I.L.D food." She walked to the door and keyed in the code, turning to look at him over her shoulder she smiled. "Before you ask what this excuse of food is, it's called Satay Chicken. It happens to be my favourite meal. But as feelings are a weakness to you, i'm sure you will only feel hatred for it."
Loki didn't have time to answer before she had swept out of the room, taking the tray back to his little bed with him he sat cross legged on the hard mattress and started to eat, his body on high alert as he gave in to the only time he would ever be weak.
"Little chit! This is rather good!"
