Chapter 4

On our way there...

"Hey Háti," Tasha asked," When are and Sköll going back to regular switch offs?"

Háti's tail wagged,"Hopefully Sköll will be here tomorrow night."

Steve cocked his head,"So you're their guardians. Can you explain that to me? I read the file but...

I smiled,"I could understand your confusion. It's not everyday you meet two animals from ancient legends. When the others and I trained on Asgard I learned about Tyra- the woman who I'm the reincarnation of- and that she was the original guardian of the two. When we fought for Asgard. I almost died. But Sköll and Hati became under my protection to save my life," I showed him the golden bangle on my wrist,"This proves it."

Steve nodded,"That makes more sense, and I still don't know how to use a cell phone properly."

Tasha giggled. I rolled my eyes. Natasha pulled up the jet,"We're here. Cap this is your stop."

I unbuckled a we dropped Steve off,"Hati, I think it would be better if we got off here."

I climbed onto Hati's back. I heard the screams. Something had happened.

We came up to see Loki on his butt and Steve holding his shield up protecting an older man,"you know," Steve said as he started forward. I saw people standing up as he passed them, almost as if he was returning their spirits,"The last time I was in Germany and saw a man standing above everyone else, we ended up disagreeing."

"The soldier," Loki chuckled as he stood,"The man out of time."

"I'm not the one who's out of time,"Steve was smirking. I could totally hear it.

The quinjet and I swooped in. Natasha had the machine gun pointed at Loki and I had an arrow. Natasha came over my Comm unit and the speaker," Loki, drop the weapon and stand down!" Yeah, bad idea. That made Loki mad. He shot out blue energy at the quinjet and Hati and I. Natasha skillfully avoided it though, and Hati was able to move faster than the jet.

Loki and Cap were fighting. They were moving to fast! I wouldn't be able to hit Loki and I defiantly didn't want to hit Steve,"This guys all over the place,"Natasha said into the Comm.

"I can't hit him either," I radioed back,"I'd most likely miss with their speeds! Or hit Rogers!"

I jumped when AC/DC's shoot to thrill started playing over the Quinjet's loudspeakers. A new voice came over my comm,"Agent Romanoff, did you miss me?" Iron Man, or rather Tony Stark, flew in. He shot at Loki and knocked him onto the ground,"Go Hati," we landed when Stark did. Tony had all the weapons that could possible be on that suit aimed at Loki,"Make your move, Reindeer games," Steve and I stood next to Stark. I put my arrow up. Loki put his hands up and his armor materialized away. I pulled out handcuffs,"Good move," Stark praised him.

"Mr. Stark," Steve greeted.

"Captain," Stark said in reply,"Wolf guard."

Loki smirked at my code name. I glared at him- telling him to shut up with my gaze,"Stark," I nodded. I started forward towards Loki,"Stand up," Loki did, and I placed the handcuffs on him,"Let's go." I escorted him to the Quinjet. Which had been landed for loading.

I say uneasily next to Tasha and Kat. Loki was across from us. I jumped when the thunder rolled. I gazed at Kat. When was it supposed to storm?

Fury radioed up,"Said anything?"

Natasha replied,"Not a word." I stroked Hati absentmindedly. Loki was handcuffed to his seat. Something felt off...

"Just get em here- we're runnin low on time."

I yelped when lightning almost hit the jet. The thunder was defining,"Where's this coming from," Natasha asked no one in particular. The thunder rolled overhead, Tasha, Kat and I all exchanged looks as Loki stared out of the window spooked.

Steve shot him a look,"What's the matter? Scared of a little lightning?"

Loki shifted, boy was he worried! I've never seen him like this,"I'm not overly found of what follows."

Something hit the jet and I was pitched forward, getting the air knocked out of me. I saw Thor in a blur grabbing Loki and flying off. I started to unbuckle as Stark put on his helmet,"Now There's that guy."

"Another Asgardien," Natasha asked as Hati stood with me.

"Yeah," I simplest replied. I climbed onto Hati's back.

"that the guy's a friendly," Steve asked?

"Doesn't matter," Stark replied,"If he frees Loki or kills him, the Tesseract's lost," he got ready to jump.

"Kat," I yelled,"Explain it to them while I go after Thor! If need be follow after me!"

"Hati," I roared over the thundering clouds,"Can you follow their scents in the wind?"

"Easily," Hati barked back,"They-"

I gave a scream as lightning almost hit us. Hati quickly maneuvered out of the way,"Can you fly a bit faster please,"I said pinning myself to him.

"On it!"

I saw Stark's boots first. He was flying... At THOR! "Stark," I called out, but it was too late he tackled Thor off of the mountain he had been standing on with Loki.

I sighed,"Set down with Loki over there. Then see if you can give Steve a hand will ya?"

"Alright. Just be careful," Hati was about five feet above Loki when I leapt off his back and landed next to Loki.

Loki and I watched as Hati flew off. I smiled at him,"You are a very hard person to track down."

Loki snickered,"I apologize for that Nicole."

I scoffed at the fake apology. He really was being cocky. I watched Steve, Hati, Thor and Stark deck it out well Hati was trying to keep the peace like Steve but you know I don't think it was really working out all the way in his favor,"Oh, please. Stop kidding yourself. You won't win."

I stiffened up when Loki closed the gap in-between us,"Oh, you're not still mad about Germany are you?"

I chuckled,"I'm pissed! But more about the fact that you're about to try to take over the world. Putting us against each other. You know I'll have to stop you."

Loki stroked my cheek,"We don't have to be on opposing sides you know."

I rolled my eyes,"Yes we do."

A big explosion happened beneath us. I jumped back guiltily and turned to see a large section of the forest near the four heroes was leveled. I shook my head,"Hey? We done here," I yelled down.

"I hope we are," I whipped around to see Tasha, Kat, Sammy, Haley, Lana, and Diana.

I squealed happily and ran to give my friends a group hug,"You guys!" We all greeted each other while Loki stood awkwardly to the side. Serves him right to be uncomfortable with a lot of estrogen around once and a while!

Review Please! I'll be back to posting soon!
