Clint's POV
"Where's Loki?"
At the Asgardian's question Clint sighed
"Director Fury would like to speak to you first." He told Thor. He hoped the Asgardian would understand that despite the wording, Fury's so called 'request' was in fact an order.
Thor's expression told Clint that he did not but to Clint's relief the Asgardian allowed himself to be led to the director.
When they entered the briefing room the other Avengers were standing and waiting for them. Tony was rubbing his head and half muttering complaints while Steve was sitting at the table with his arms crossed. Clint suppressed his emotions as he walked over to stand next to Natasha, even though he wanted to laugh at the pair's misfortune. Clint knew that they were still sore about how easily Loki had defeated them earlier that day.
"Thor." Fury appeared to have calmed down from his initial burst of anger. "I want a full report on why Loki was on parole. Now."
Clint shifter his eyes to Thor. He wanted to know that as well.
The Asgardian shifted uncomfortably. "The All-Father believed my brother's knowledge to be essential for a task." He explained slowly.
"Task?" Fury asked. "What task?"
Thor glanced around at the other Avengers and Clint found himself wishing he was watching from a distance. IT made it easier to see everything at once.
"I . . . cannot tell you of the reason." Thor answered hesitantly. "But it will cause no harm to Midgard!" He hastily added.
Clint narrowed his eyes. The man was definitely missing something out. He allowed his eyes to flick to Fury. The director was frowning, good, he had seen it as well.
After ten minutes of quiet stalemate, during which Clint found himself amazed that Tony had managed to so long without making any sarcastic comments, Fury broke the silence.
"Very well." Fury sighed, then he spoke into his communicator. "Agent Simmons, please bring Loki to Briefing room 3"
It was silent again as the group waited. Then Agent Simmons entered the room followed closely by a gagged and handcuffed Loki.
From the moment Loki saw Thor Clint noticed that the man's eyes widened. Loki started pulling on his handcuffs and trying to speak through the gag. As both were of Asgardian make Loki did not have any success on doing so.
"He's trying to speak sir." Clint reported calmly when he realised that no one else had noticed.
Fury frowned. "I do not need –"
But he was interrupted by Thor. "Speak brother!" The Asgardian commanded and crossed the space between them to remove the gag from Loki's mouth.
"Jokul." Loki said instantly.
Clint frowned. "Jokul?" He asked to no one in particular.
"It's what Loki calls Jack." Natasha murmured to him softly.
"What about him?" Thor asked, a confused expression on his face.
"SHIELD has him locked in a cell." Loki spat.
