Ivy here.
I should have gotten out of the room as soon as Mr. Stark's program broke in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s files.
I was curious about he'd say, and I figured I'd be able to get out the door in time.
Mr. Stark went straight to looking for anything he could about me. He didn't exactly hide his search.
"I don't believe it," he said after a minute of reading through what he found.
"Believe it," I replied.
"You are not part of an alternate universe," said Mr. Stark. "I've seen weird, but this a new level entirely."
"I'm having trouble believing this too," said Dr. Banner.
"So am I. But Loki's minions have my friend because of it, which makes it much easier for me to believe."
"What are you doing, Mr. Stark?" Director Nick Fury strode into the room. He glanced at me for a moment, then directed his attention to Mr. Stark.
"Was about to ask you the same thing, Nick. What is Phase 2?"
Cap set something down on the table with a loud thud. I jumped. I hadn't noticed him come in.
"Phase 2 is S.H.I.E.L.D. uses the Cube to make weapons. Sorry, computer was moving a little slow for me."
Director Fury reacted quickly. "Rogers, we gathered everything related to the Tesseract. That does not mean we're –"
"I'm sorry, Nick," said Mr. Stark, turning a computer screen towards Fury. "What were you lying?"
On the screen were plans for weapons of some sort. Powered by the Tesseract.
"I was wrong, Director. The world hasn't changed a bit," said Cap.
The Black Widow and Thor entered the room.
"Did you know about this?" Dr. Banner asked, addressing Black Widow.
"You want to think about removing yourself from this environment, Doctor?"
"I was in Calcutta, I think I was pretty well removed."
"Loki's manipulating you."
"And you've been doing what, exactly?"
"You didn't come here because I bat my eyelashes at you."
"Yes, and I'm not leaving because suddenly you get a little twitchy," said Dr. Banner. "I'd like to know why SHIELD is using the Tesseract to build weapons of mass destruction."
"Because of him," said Director Fury, pointing at Thor.
