It had been at least a week since Sigyn had arrived on the ship- or so she thought as anyone she had asked had refused to give her any information. So far, she had been left to herself. Alone. It was something she had gotten used to over the years.

"They must really think I'm stupid! It can't just be a coincidence that they brought me here just after he arrived," she complained, sighing as she pulled herself off of her bed and walked towards the small metal cupboard where her clothes were kept. "Fury knows exactly who I am... and I know exactly why I'm here..."

She had been living on Earth for a few years when Loki had appeared and stolen the Tesseract. Did Fury really expect me to not have known about that? That little 'accident' at their headquarters wasn't exactly a secret, even if they didn't tell everyone the whole story...

She looked around her room. It was small, but comfortable, with a single bed in the corner and a mirror and cupboard on the other side of the room. It could be worse; at least I'm not in a cell. Maybe I should thank Thor for this... She laughed as that thought crossed her mind. No... He doesn't deserve any form of kindness from me!

She walked over to the cupboard and rifled through it until she found what she was looking for. When she had been arrested, S.H.I.E.L.D had taken both her Asgardian and Midgardian clothes. That was kind I suppose. At least I have a choice in something on this ship- even if it is just clothes, she thought as she pulled the dress from the cupboard. Ever since she had been banished, she hadn't even allowed herself to look at her Asgardian clothes. What was the point in longing after something she couldn't have anymore? Down here on Midgard, she wasn't a princess; she was just Sigyn.

She straightened the dress out and sighed.

"Of all the dresses they could have taken, they chose this one! Really?" she complained, throwing the dress on to her bed.

It was a beautiful dress, that she couldn't deny, but she didn't like it. It had been a wedding present from Odin and Frigga and she couldn't bring herself to wear it after all that had happened. She laughed, I'm a prisoner, yet I'm worried about what I look like. She continued to rifle through the cupboard until she found a pair of plain black leggings, a tight fitting black smock and a deep green corset. This will do I suppose. She took her emerald green cape from under her bed and proceeded to dress.

Just as she was pulling on her leather boots though, she heard voices outside her door that distracted her.

"Director! The computers found a hundred percent match for him in Germany," one of the voices shouted.

"Well, he's certainly not keeping a low profile," the second voice replied, and straightaway Sigyn realised that it was Fury.

She listened more intently from then on. If Fury's involved, it must be important. And this 'he', it can't be... no he's not stupid enough to get caught like that.

"Find out exactly where he is," Fury said, making his way past her door.

She moved away from the small window in the door. I wonder how much it would annoy him if he knew I was eavesdropping...

"Of course, sir. I'll get back to the bridge now" the first voice replied, walking away back down the corridor.

Sigyn glanced around back through the tiny window in the door. Fury was gone. She quietly pushed the door open and walked down towards the bridge. She was able to walk about the ship occasionally, as long as she kept out of the way and most importantly, didn't annoy anyone.

When she reached the bridge, the scene before her was bedlam. Wow, he really is that stupid... she thought, shaking her head at her husband's idiocy, Unless...he wanted to get caught...

Fury stood at the head of a long metal table, speaking to Thor, Romanoff, Rogers, and another man that she had never met before.

"Ah, Sigyn," Fury called, gesturing for her to come over to the table.

She walked over, her cloak billowing out behind her. The stranger watched her as she walked towards them. Another name for me to forget, great... she thought as she stood next to Fury, folding her arms.

"Yes?" she asked, looking up at him.

"We have found him... Loki," Fury added, concern spreading across his face.

Sigyn's eyes lit up at the sound of his name.

"And what do you want me to do?" she asked. "I know you're not going to let me come with you... are you?"

She tilted her head to the side.

"No. I am sending Rogers and Romanoff out to bring him to us," Fury replied, gesturing at them. "You are still a prisoner here, Sigyn; make sure that you remember that. Thor will stay here and keep an eye on you."

"Keep an eye? I'm not a child, you know!" Sigyn exclaimed, waving her arms in exasperation. "And I do not want to spend any time with him!"

She pointed at Thor, who just rolled his eyes at her.

"You don't have a choice in this. You're staying here whether you like it or not," said Fury, chastising her as though she was a small child. "Now, you can either stay here or go back to your room."

Sigyn sighed and sat down by the table.

"I guess I'll stay here then."

Glancing over at Thor, she muttered, "And you had better not piss me off..."

"Dr Banner, could you please make sure these two behave?" Fury asked the new arrival, who was now sat across from Sigyn.

"So I'm a babysitter now... And you guys wanted me to stay away from stress," Banner sighed, but agreed to do as Fury asked.

What is taking them so long...? Sigyn thought to herself as she watched Banner rush around the lab that S.H.I.E.L.D had created in order for him to help them. She nervously curled her hair around her index finger as she thought of her husband. He'd better be okay...

She was pulled from her thoughts when Banner waved his hand in front of her face;

"Are you okay?" he asked her, a genuine look of concern on his face.

Wow, someone on this ship who is actually nice to me.

"Sorry... I'm fine. Just worried that's all," Sigyn replied, smiling slightly.

"About Loki? Why?" Banner asked her.

Hasn't Fury told any of them? she wondered. Why would he want to keep something like that from them?

"What has Fury told you about me?" she asked him, completely ignoring his question; it wasn't up to her to tell any of them anything.

"W-well," he stuttered. "He only told us that he brought you here to 'help us', and I can only assume it has something to do with Loki."

He shrugged and was about to return to his work when Sigyn grabbed his arm. She thought she saw him blush, but maybe it was just the light.

"Can I ask you something?" Sigyn asked, letting go as he turned back around.

"Y-yes of course," he replied, sounding nervous again.

"Do I scare you?" Sigyn asked him, tilting her head to the side. She had wanted to ask this since she arrived there, but everyone seemed to either avoid her completely or only talk to her when she was needed.

"Well," he cleared his throat.

Looks like I have my answer already.

"Is that a yes?"

"Umm, I can't speak for everyone on this ship, but you..." he paused and looked her straight in the eye. "You intimidate people. Maybe it's your power, I don't know. But I suppose you do scare us a little"

Maybe that's a good thing... she thought to herself, smiling.

"Thank you, Dr Banner, for your honesty," she said, getting up from her stool. "I'll leave you to your work."

She walked towards the door without a backwards glance. And, this time, it was Banner who stopped Sigyn.

"You can stay if you like," he said, offering her a smile. "I wouldn't mind the company. And you can call me Bruce, Dr Banner's a bit formal, don't you think?"

Maybe I should stay, she thought; turning to face him. It might be good to actually have a friend on this ship.

"I'll try not to distract you," she paused. "Bruce."

She laughed and returned to her stool. For the first time since she'd arrived, she felt somewhat happy. What a strange feeling.

Sigyn stayed in the lab with Banner, and she was quite content- until Thor arrived. He always seems to turn up just when I don't want him, she thought, sighing as her peace was ruined.

"I'd rather you didn't wander off!" Thor yelled, as he walked through the door, his cape billowing behind him.

"But it's fun to watch you worry about me, dear brother!" Sigyn laughed. "Besides, I think I've made a friend."

She smiled at Banner, who just laughed and turned back to his work.

"Oh, how wonderful for you," exclaimed Thor as he rolled his eyes. "But, unfortunately, I am meant to keep you out of trouble, so if you wouldn't mind, just stay put?"

Sigyn laughed at him again, flicking her hair over her shoulder.

"Don't worry yourself, I'm perfectly fine here," she tilted her head and smiled sweetly at him.

"Banner, are you alright with this?" Thor asked, leaning against the door frame.

"Yeah, I guess," he answered, shrugging his shoulders.

Thor turned to leave, but was stopped by Fury charging down the corridor. He was followed immediately by Rogers and Romanoff, and another man that Sigyn didn't know the name of. What in Valhalla is going on now? she thought, turning herself around to glance out the glass window behind her.

Sigyn couldn't believe her eyes. He's here; I never thought I'd see him again. Ever since she'd heard that he was on Earth, she had hoped, prayed even, that she would be able to see him. Just once. You will never know how much I've missed you, she thought to herself, fumbling with her hair again.

Both Banner and Thor were also staring out of the window. Thor's face was twisted into a mixture of dismay and relief, and it was clear that he was about as happy to see Loki as he had been when Sigyn had arrived. Banner, however, was leaning against his desk, only taking quick glances out of the window.

Seconds later, Loki walked past the first window to the lab, a smug smile emerging on his face. Look up will you! Sigyn shouted at him in her head, willing him to look over at her. She walked over to the next window, pushing Thor away as he tried to stop her. At first, his gaze moved over to Banner, his ice blue eyes unblinking as he stared at him. Banner tried to hold his gaze, but it was only seconds before he turned away, an odd expression on his face. And then, just as she'd hoped, he looked at her, his expression unchanging.

"Oh, how I've missed those eyes," she whispered, smiling.
