HEYYYY! I'mmmm back! My vacation was fun and I got to work hard the last four days at Youth Force! But, I'm gonna vent a litle bit- first, I fell and got a nasty bruise AND THEN I got locked in the bathroom (stupid stall door wouldn't open and I worked on it for like five minutes just trying to get out) and while I was locked in there I missed the group picture! Okay... Okay... I'm done now.

Also, Memories needs more reviews for another chapter.

Thamk YOu, lilacflower2 for reviewing!

Chapter 5

As we came back the shifts for Hati's and Sköll's jobs returned to normal. It was late into the night when I watched Fury interrogate Loki.

"Ant," I watched Fury point at Loki. Then he motioned to the big red button that could seal his death,"Boot."

Loki smirked and looked around a little bit,"It's an impressive cage. Not built, I think for me."

I glanced at the frown on Banner's face and the feeling of anger generate at Kat. What was going on with those two? I left them alone earlier for ten minutes... Maybe that was it?

Loki glanced at the camera. Not it was my turn for anger to boil in my blood. I looked around the room so I wouldn't snap. Haley stood grimly in the corner her hands crossed over her chest. Kat stood silently behind Banner. I guess Fury wanted her on Banner duty being the most durable of the guardians. Sammy, Lana, and Diana had all gone with Shield members to get trained to be members of the crew...

I thought about Tyra. The person who damned me to have this life as her reincarnation. If she was still alive... How would she take this? Would she be able to connect to Loki like I haven't? Maybe she should be here and not me. She might have been able to stop this, stop Loki.

But instead the world gets me. A book worm with absolutely no hope of getting to the mad-man who was hell bent on taking over the world and enslaving it. The man I might just be in love with. The man who might just be using me! Using me to get to the others. He might not even care about me... Just using me. Using me.

I listen to Loki and Fury go at it. My anger growing with each word. But I couldn't show it. I stayed neutral,"Well let me know if real power wants a magazine."

when Banner's voice broke the silence,"He really grows on you doesn't he?"

"Loki's gonna drag this out. So , Thor, Nicole, What's his play?"

I shrugged,"Thor know more than me."

Thor snapped out of whatever he was in too,"He has an army called the Chitauri. They're not of Asgard or any other world known. He means to lead them against your people. They will win him the earth. In return, I suspect, for the Tesseract."

Steve was a little skeptical,"An army? From outer space?"

"So he's building another portal," Banner realized.

" That's what he needs Erik Selvig for," Kat nodded.

"Selvig," Thor glanced at her. Weren't they friends?

Banner explained,"He's an astrophysicist."

"He's a friend,"Thor told him. Bingo! Do I know records of incidents or what?

"Loki has him under some kind of spell," Haley said.

"Along with one of ours,"Natasha reminded us. Meaning Barton, I hope they get together soon after this!

"I wanna know why Loki let us take him," Steve said,"He's not leading an army from here."

"I Don't think we should be focusing on Loki," Banner said critically," That guy's brain is a bag full of cats, you could smell the crazy on him."

Okay, Loki isn't nessicarily crazy! He's just font through a lot and- Okay! Stop it! Bad brain! You're sopposed to be AGREEING with Banner not defending that... That... Ugh! I give up!

"Have care how you speak. Loki is beyond reason, but he is of Asgard, and he's my brother."

Natasha cut him down to size,"He killed eighty people in two days."

"He's adopted."

I couldn't stand it anymore,"Do you have to go to the bathroom?"

Sköll perked,"Yes for about the last half hour. I didn't want to say anything though" he whined and licked my hand. I excused us and walked out of the room. I already knew where this convo. was going. I let Sköll out to go relieve himself out in the air. I don't wanna know what he did an I don't wanna know how he didn't get caught.

I sat alone with my thoughts. I remember the first time I summoned my bow. Someone's voice had spoke to me... Could it have been Tyra's?

Sköll trotted up to me,"What troubles you?"

"Um... Everything?" The sun was coming up. Sköll would have to leave soon.

Sköll chuckled,"Hop on my back. You need to meet someone."

I did as he asked and we were soon flying into the air. Someone was trying to contact me through my comm unit. I opened the line,"Wolf guard here."

"And just where in hell do you think you're going," Fury asked. I could barely hear him though with so much wind as Sköll kept increasing his speed,"In case you forgot- Your team is still up here with us- and you're the best chance for us to-"

"Bargain with Loki," I snapped back,"Well, here's a shocker for ya Director! Loki doesn't care about me! He's USING me. Or at least trying to! He doesn't give a rats' ass about me. All he cares about right now is his little world domination conquest. So using me as a bargaining chip is out the fucking window! Now, I'm sure we're all aware at how my own team can take care of THEMSELVES! So if you'll please stop fretting over them- if you even care about them- and let me take care of what I have to do!"

Everyone sitting in the bridge area froze after Nicole's little monologue. Kat was desperately trying not to laugh, so was Tony... And Banner. Everyone else was completely shocked with Nicole's outburst. Fury took a few calming breath and flared at Kat when the connection went dead before he could reply to Nicole,"You gotta clue where she went?"

Kat shook her head finally sobering up,"Sorry Director Fury. She didn't tell me."

Thanks! I'm glad to be back! REVIEW PLEASE!
