Fury's POV

Nick was not having an enjoyable time. He had managed to capture both the insane alien- which had attacked New York- and a new threat, then the one they had expected to be able to best contain the hostiles had let them escape just minutes after his arrival.

He wanted nothing more than to yell at the idiotic Asgardian but he knew it would do little to help the situation, possibly making it worse. Or just give him a migraine. So instead, he had sent Thor after the Hulk to contain the damage caused. After all, if they were going to be able to track down Loki then they were going to need Dr. Banner.

After snapping at the other Avengers to return to their work, he ordered Stark into one of the S.H.I.E.L.D. labs to track down the escapees. Nick was currently sitting in his office, glaring at the surveillance tape that was showing Stark corrupting his systems with the AI. Again.

He pressed the button to enable the comms. system.

"I do not remember giving permission for your A.I. to join us on the Helicarrier, Stark."

The inventor jumped and Nick sighed. Had the man really thought he was going to get away with that without being noticed?

"Aww, come on Fury. If you let me use Jarvis, everything will go much faster."

Fury resisted the urge to slam his head into his desk. Such actions were unbefitting of a S.H.I.E.L.D. director, no matter how annoying Stark was.

"Just get that A.I. off of my systems before you corrupt them and get to work on finding Loki."

"And his son." Stark added cheerfully.

"Stark." Fury warned. He was not in the mood to deal with the man's 'banter.'

His only answer was a mocking laugh. Nick sighed. He did not get paid to deal with multimillionaire genius playboys.

Nick's computer beeped and Nick turned around to look at the screen. He noticed an incoming video call and was about to answer when the screen changed all on its own . . .

Revealing Loki.
