A/N: Hey so turns out I don't have Sunday off from either jobs so I guess this chapter won't be as long as I would hope. But anyway, here's the next chapter and I am proud to say we will see some interaction between Kaycee and some of the Avengers!

Disclaimer: I do NOT own any Marvel characters, only Kaycee.

~xXx~

"I have to say, the helicarrier is pretty amazing." Kaycee said to Agent Coulson as he showed her around. Once they first entered the Helicarrier, Agent Coulson received noticed that they had located Loki in Stuttgart, Germany. Tony had kissed the top of her head, told her to behave and headed out to retrieve his armor, on his way to Loki's location.

"Isn't it?" Coulson said. "We have labs as well. Speaking of which, Dr. Banner is in there now, if you'd like, I could introduce you two."

Kaycee smiled. "Really? Sure!"

Now she was excited. She was going to meet Bruce Banner! She admired his work, as did her father. She followed Agent Coulson to a door that read 'Lab 2'. She looked through the window and saw the older man tapping away on a few computers and moving around a few holograms. She waited for Coulson to open the door and gesture for her to enter first. Once she did, Dr. Banner looked up, noticing the two entering the lab.

"Dr. Banner, I'd like you to meet Kaycee Stark, she's-" Coulson went to introduce her but was interrupted by the doctor himself.

"Tony Stark's daughter. Hello, I'm Bruce Banner." He stood up from his chair at one of the tables and went to shake her hand. "I wasn't aware we would have young recruits."

"Actually Mr. Stark didn't mind telling us she was going to be here." Coulson answered, then turned to face the teenager. "Not that we don't look forward to seeing you, Kaycee."

Kaycee just waved her hand. "No it's fine. My father fails to inform people of what he decides to do."

Before Coulson or Bruce could respond, Agent Hill knocked on the window and gestured to Coulson to step outside.

"I guess I'm needed else where. Ms. Stark you're free to wonder around the main rooms I showed and the labs as well, but please don't stray too far." And with that, the agent was gone.

Now Kaycee was just standing there, hands behind her back, waiting awkwardly for something to break the tension. Thankfully, Dr. Banner decided to do such that.

"So Ms. Stark, does your father always bring you along for adventure?" he asked, trying to break the tension. She could sense he was just as awkward as she was.

"Not really," she admitted. "I think he's getting on Director Fury's last nerve. Oh and you don't have to call me that, you can just call me Kaycee."

"Well, your welcome to observe the lab while I work, Kaycee." he smiled, heading back to one of the many computers.

"Thanks," she was about to take a seat but she felt a small vibration coming from her jacket pocket. She pulled out her phone to see it was a call. "Huh, didn't know I had service up here. I'm sorry I have to take this."

"No, that's fine." Bruce was still typing away on the computer. Kaycee smiled exiting the lab and answered the call immediately.

"Hey there," she answered.

"Hi," Peter's voice filled her ear. "I'm sorry I haven't called or text you back."

"No, Peter its okay. I heard what happened and I am so sorry." She sounded sincere. "I can't imagine what your going through. If there is anything I can do for you, just let me know."

"Its okay, Kaycee. I'm actually doing better than I thought I would be." It sounded like he was smiling. "By the way, thanks for the flowers, my aunt May loved them."

"Its no problem, I just wanted to let your family know that you have our condolences."

"Yeah, aunt May was shocked when she saw the name 'Stark' on the card." he chuckled. "But hey, are you busy this weekend? I have a friend of mine I'd like you to meet."

Kaycee's smile faded. "Yeah, about that, I'm actually not in New York anymore."

"Your already back in California?"

"Not exactly," she answered, biting her lip. "Its complicated, I can't really say anything."
"S.H.I.E.L.D. business?"

"Maybe," she heard him sigh on the other end.

"I promise as soon as this is over, I'll come back to hang out with you and your friend. Whats his name?"

"Actually it's a she," he chuckled. "Gwen. She's more than a friend actually." Kaycee felt her heart stop. She didn't know what to say. It felt like she forgot how to breathe. "Kaycee, you there?"

"Uh, yeah. Yeah, maybe we can all hang out when I get back." she tried to sound like herself.

"Kaycee," he tried to say something but Kaycee was distracted by a group of S.H.I.E.L.D. guards walking her way.

"I'm sorry I need to go, I call you back. I promise." Before she hung up, she heard him say 'Please stay safe'.

Before she could completely move out of their way, one of the guards approached her and had her move back. She didn't even get the chance to ask what was going on before she looked into a pair of glorious green eyes. The man that held her gaze was centered in between all the guards, wearing green and black attire and sporting a pair of tight hand cuffs.

She could only guess that this man was the Demi-god her father was going to find, Loki. He smirked at her, almost as to let her know that he knew what was going through her mind. Once they had completely passed, the guard said nothing and moved back ahead of the group.

Kaycee was too lost in her own thoughts that she hadn't notice Dr. Banner talking to her. She shook her head, as if to shake away the feeling the prankster had given her, and looked back at the man beside her. "I'm sorry, what was that?"

"I asked if you were okay." he said. "You looked pretty lost there for a second."

"Did you..?" she gestured towards the hallway that the guards had took Loki.

"See him? Yes I did." he answered. "Creepy, isn't he?" she nodded. "Anyway, I heard from the radio in that lab that your father is back. Did you want to go back to the main room?"

"Sure." she smiled and followed Dr. Banner.

~xXx~

Once she and Dr. Banner were back in the main control room, Kaycee noticed a few more familiar faces. She found agent Romanoff sitting down at a big conference looking table. Also sitting down at the table was none other than Steve Rogers, Captain America.

Kaycee knew it wasn't polite to stare, but she couldn't help but take in his features. He had a big, muscled frame, a strong jaw line and light blonde hair styled similar to his days back in the forties. Her staring stopped when he looked up at her in curiosity.

She quickly looked away and was about to walk the other way, but accidently bumped into someone. She looked and saw agent Hill.

"I'm so sorry," she said quietly.

Agent Hill shook her head. "Its fine, Kaycee. If you'd like, you can take a seat at the table as well."

Kaycee nodded and sucked in her breath. She made her way over to the conference table and took a seat next to Natasha, who smiled at her.

She followed the woman's eyes back to what they were all watching. It looked like feed from a security camera, inside Loki's cell. From the sound of it, Fury was some-what, trying to receive information from him. After that, the video cut off and the group sat there quietly.

"He kinda grows on you, doesn't he?" Bruce piped up.

"Loki's gonna drag this out," Captain spoke up. His voice was… in a way powerful. "So, Thor, whats his play?"

Kaycee hadn't notice the second demi-god enter. He had a strong build and long blonde hair. He was quiet, thinking.

"He has an army," Thor spoke. "Called the Chituari, not known of Asguard or any other world known. He means to lead them against your people. They will win him the earth, and in return for the tesseract."

"An army, from outerspace." Steve sounded irritated.

Dr. Banner stepped forward, taking off his glasses. "So he's building another portal, that's why he needs Dr. Selvig."

"Selvig?" Thor asked.

"He's an astrophysicist," Banner said.

"He's a friend."
"Loki has him under some kind of spell, along with one of ours." Natasha spoke up, sounding almost broke, in Kaycee's view.

"I want to know why Loki let us take him." Steve pointed out. "He's not leading an army from here."
"I don't think we should be focusing on Loki, that guy's brain is like a bag full of cats." Bruce said. "You can smell crazy on him."

"Have care how you speak." Thor sounded offended. "Loki is beyond reason, but he is of Asguard. And he is my brother."

"He killed eighty people in two days."

"He's adopted?" Thor tried to reason.

They were quiet again until Dr. Banner spoke up. "I think its about the mechanics. Iridium, what do they need the iridium for?"

"It's a stabilizing agent." Said Tony stepping into the room with agent Coulson. 'It means the portal won't collapse on itself like it did at S.H.I.E.L.D." He then made his way over to Thor. "No hard feelings, point break. You got a mean swing." He walked towards the control panels and went on. "Also, it means the portal can open as wide and stay open as long as Loki wants."

Kaycee rolled her eyes as Tony was speaking with the crew and even pointed out that one of them were playing Galaga. She then looked at Steve who looked a little confused. She continued to watch as he acted like he was interested in how Fury uses the control panels. But she had noticed him slip something onto one of them.

"The rest of the raw materials, Agent Barton can get his hands on pretty easily. The only major component he still needs is a power source of high density. Something to kick start the cube." Tony finished.

"When did you become an expert in thermonuclear astrophysics?" Agent Hill asked.

"Last night," he shrugged, heading over to where Kaycee was sitting and leaned onto her chair. "The packet, Selvig's notes, the extraction theory papers. Are me and Kaycee the only ones who did the reading?"

"Does Loki need any particular power source?" Steve asked, clearly annoyed by Tony.

"He would have to heat the cube to one hundred twenty million Kelvin just to break through the Coulomb barrier." Kaycee spoke, gaining everyone's attention, especially Steve.

"Unless Selvig has figured out how to stabilize the quantum tunneling effect." Tony added.

"Well if he could do that, he could achieve the heavy ion fusion at any reactor on the planet." Bruce said.

"Finally, someone who also speaks our language." Tony patted Kaycee's shoulder and headed over to Bruce to shake his hand. 'Its good to meet you, Dr. Banner. Your work onantielectron collisons is unparalleled. And I'm a huge fan of the way you lose control and turn into an enormous green rage monster."

"Thanks," Bruce responded a bit shy.

"Dr. Banner is only here to track the cube. I was hoping you might join him." Director Fury stepped into the room. "And seeing that you've ignored all orders, deciding to invite your daughter as well, she can be of help I'm sure."

Kaycee could feel all eyes on her. But luckily Steve must have noticed and spoke up.

"I'd start with that stick of his." He said. "It might be magical, but it works an awful lot like a HYDRA weapon."

"I don't know about that, but it is powered by the cube." Fury added. "And I would like to know how Loki used it to turn tow of the sharpest men I know into his own personal flying monkeys."

"Flying monkeys?" Thor asked. "I do not understand."

"I do." Steve spoke up. Tony rolled his eyes. "I understood that reference."

It grew quiet again before Tony turned to Dr. Banner. "Shall we play, doctor?"

"Right this way," Bruce gestured for him to follow but both men stopped and turned to look at Kaycee, as if asking her to join.

She stood up and met both of them but then stopped. "You know what, I'll just meet you guys there."

Tony looked at her and said quietly. "Hey, stay clear of Capsicle, over there."

Kaycee just shook her head and watched as the two men walked towards the lab. Instead she wanted time alone, to think. She had so many thoughts going through her head. There was Peter and his more than a friend- friend, the fact that she felted somewhat unwelcome here by Director Fury and then Steve. 'Wait," she thought. 'Why am I thinking of him?"

Kaycee had to admit, he was pretty handsome. 'But what about Peter?' Maybe she had her hopes up too much when it came to Peter. Maybe he liked her at one point but not now. Now he had Gwen. Was it really that bad that she was thinking about someone else? Considering he was a lot older than her, there was something about Steve she couldn't put her finger on.

As these thoughts came crashing down into her head, Kaycee hadn't realized where she was. Only one voice reminded her of where she was.

"Well, what do we have here?" Said a soft but provocative voice. She looked up and noticed Loki. She was in the same room as his prison.

She thought about leaving but it was too late, his eyes held her still in place, there was no turning back.

~xXx~

A/N: BOOM. That just happened. So yeah, might be too early to tell but we might have our selves a little love plot going on here with Peter, Kaycee and Steve. Who knows? Only time will tell. So I'm pretty sure I have good idea about where this story is heading. So there should be more updates heading your way. So please review and let me know what you think!
