It didn't fully set in that Beatrice had been pushed from the jet until she saw the red blur that was the man and Loki flying off. Beatrice wasn't even screaming; the shock was too much for her to open her mouth. She watched as the jet left her surrounded by the dark clouds and stormy atmosphere.
Back on the quin-jet, it had jut set in that Loki had escaped and Beatrice was no longer with them. Tony was the first react and he started to make his way to the ramp.
"Did he just push her out?!" Agent Romanoff demanded while trying to keep her eyes on the skies. Steve was just wide eyed at the opening in the jet, did he just lose another teammate?
"And then there's this guy." Tony said under his breath as he got ready to fly out. "I'm going to go catch Sterling then I'm going after our new friend."
"Who the hell was that?" Steve asked; shaking his head out. No time to panic. Stark can handle catching Beatrice.
"Does it matter? If he frees Loki or kills him, the Tesseract's lost." Tony explained. He was about to head off but Steve yelled at him last minute.
"Stark! We need a plan of attack!"
"I have a plan: attack." Tony was off after that, flying as fast as the suit could go to catch the new girl.
Beatrice was still falling as the wind tangled her hair and made her fingers go numb. As she kept falling; she was reminded of another Disney movie Alice in Wonderland where Alice had just fallen down the rabbit whole and it seemed like the fall was taking forever before she popped into Wonderland. She had her eyes closed for a small time before a sound besides the howling winds caught her attention. She immediately started whipping her head around to see what was around her; and caught sight of something red flying her way. All at once; she had stopped falling and was in the arms of iron. Beatrice hadn't even noticed till now how heavily she was breathing when she could actually hear her ragged breathes.
"You okay, kid?" Tony asked. Beatrice didn't answer verbally but her arms tightened around the suit. A sob broke through after a couple seconds and then Beatrice was shaking as Tony started to fly off in the direction that Loki and the other guy had gone. "Jarvis? Get in contact with Agent Romanoff."
"Right away sir." The AI replied in his British accent. There was a moment of listening to Beatrice get over not dying before Tony heard the voice of Agent Romanoff.
"Romanoff."
"I got Sterling. Just thought you should know."
"Is she okay?"
Tony's grip tightened on the girl's shaking body before replying, "She's in shock, she should be fine once she finishes her cry."
"Are you still going to go after the Asgardian?" She asked.
"We'll loose the Tesseract if I don't."
"Well, just a quick heads up. Cap is on the way." Agent Romanoff warned. She heard the billionaire sigh like a child before responding.
"Should I expect him with his walker or his high-powered scooter?" Agent Romanoff rolled her eyes.
"Just makes sure Loki comes back in one piece." She signed off after that, leaving the two heroes in silence. Tony noticed Beatrice had stopped her crying and was now just looked like she was gripping him very hard. He flew for a little bit longer before reaching a small forest where he could put Beatrice down and go find Loki. Beatrice reluctantly let go when they reached the ground and quickly whipped at her face to get rid of her tears.
"Dammit, I can't believe I balled like that." she said mostly to herself. Her hands were still shaky as she tried to compose herself in front of the metal man.
"No one would blame you. You almost became a pancake; that gives you the right to let those feelings out." Tony explained. Beatrice scoffed as she shook out her hands to get rid of the nerves. "I have to go find the jack-off that took Loki and pushed you out of the jet. So you stay here and I'll come back for you after I save the day...again."
"Give him hell for me."
Beatrice watched as Tony took off; leaving her alone in what she would call The Forbidden Forest. The falling snow did little to calm her still pounding nerves. She had almost died and that did not settle well with her. She knew that she was going to start having fears of heights and falling that will invade her dreams from now on. The cold started to finds its way into Beatrice's bones; the Germany air making her shiver. That's when a loud explosion-like noise got her attention and Beatrice went go investigate.
Walking into a small clearing, Beatrice saw both Tony and the blonde stranger trying stand. The man looked as if he was about to tear Tony apart but then went calm; sending a chill down Beatrice's spine. "Do not touch me again." He said in a low tone.
"Then don't take my stuff."Tony said back.
"You have no idea what you're dealing with."
"Ah, Shakespeare in the park? Doth mother know you wearith her drapes?"
"This is beyond you, Metal Man. Loki will face Asgardian justice."
"He gives up the cube, he's all yours." Tony said, growing serious. "Until then; stay out of my way...tourist."
The Asgardian then threw his giant hammer at Tony; making him slam into a tree a few ways away. Beatrice gasped and covered her gaping mouth with her hands. What the hell is he? Raising his hand, the hammer flew back to him as his eyes were trained somewhere to his side. Tony got up and hit the blonde with an energy blast, sending him back like he did to the billionaire.
"This isn't going to end well." Beatrice mumbled to herself. She would have jumped in if she didn't feel so inadequate compared to the other two. They were like gods and she was only a mortal. The "tourist" stood up and raised his hammer to the sky, and like some form of magic, started to summon lightning and aim it at Tony. The crackled and popped and Beatrice could barely hear grunts of pain. Once the lightning stopped, Tony froze for a couple seconds; almost like he was in shock.
"How about that?" Tony asked himself. Beatrice was confused, then watched as Tony blasted the blonde with a energy blast a lot stronger then the other one. The two started to get rougher and more violent when they flew off towards the small mountain a ways from where they were before. They came back only to slam to the ground and bounce before looking as if they were going to go another round.
Beatrice was in the sidelines as it seemed the blonde guy had the upper hand, then Tony would come back to make it even once again. It wasn't until a loud voice broke both of their concentrations on each other and a familiar shield bounced off them both before going back to its owner.
"Hey!"
Beatrice looked up and saw Steve standing on one of the fallen trees, their eyes catching for a second and Steve's shoulders seemed to relax before going back to his soldier like stance.
"That's enough." Steve shouted again before jumping down and getting leveled with the other two fighters. "Now I don't know what you plan on doing here-"
"I've come here to put an end to Loki's schemes!"
"Then prove it! Put the hammer down."
Tony spoke up at that; stepping back from what would turn very ugly, "Um, yeah no. Bad call! He loves his hammer!" The hammer lover in question just simply back hands Tony away from them; clearly pissed. Beatrice runs over to Tony's Iron-Man armor and taps on the helmet to get him to open it up.
"Hey, are you okay?" She asks once she can see his face. Tony winces, before sitting up and looking back at Steve and the still unknown stranger.
"This is not good." Tony mumbles just as the blonde jumped and slams his hammer on Steve's shield. A sonic wave resonates from the hit and Tony moves quickly to bring Beatrice down so she wouldn't be hit by the blast. Beatrice squeezed her eyes shut and tries to focus on her rings and get the silver to absorb into her back which was still facing the blast.
Once the dust settles, not a word was said. Beatrice stands up and helps Tony in his clunky armor. She sees Steve stand as well and all three of them face the blonde hammer guy.
"Are we done here?" Steve asks, and the blonde looks around at the destruction he had caused before looking back at Steve.
That seems like a yes to everyone as they made their way out of the destroyed forest.
