A/N I am definitely doing the Mina/Steve pairing but as the movie only goes for like a couple of days its not a full blown pairing more they like each other and I will write a sequel or a bunch of oneshots for them after this story.

I've also decided for it to be Ami/Bruce instead of Ami/Hawkeye. I can just see them working well together. Yes there is a big age difference but I think it would work. Again its not fully going to develop into anything due to the short duration but they might be in the sequel or have oneshots after it.

Let me know if you would like a sequel that will mainly be about the romance not much action or whether you would prefer a thing of oneshots that covers moments in their lives.

Also I am planning on writing a bunch of oneshots crossovers pairing Mina with different guys from all different genres. So please feel free to request her pairing and if it's a fandom I know enough about I will give it a go!

You really need to have seen the avengers for this to make sense as I leave bits out if Mina or Ami aren't in them so please watch the movie.

Also I know its kind of weird with names. Basically I call them by super hero names eg Iron Man, Venus etc if they are in their suits/fighting. Whereas I used civilian name for when in civilian clothes or masks off.

And yes I made them reach their eternal forms and that they have the ability to control some of their powers outside of Senshi form. Its a little AU but to me it seems like the next logical step on their way to Crystal Tokyo and as Princesses of their planets they would be able to control their element.

Thanks so much for the reviews guys especially Kiyone4ever who helped me choose the pairing.

As always read and review no flames.

Dislaimer: I don't own anything you recognise.

The group flew back to base and Venus and Mercury were amazed by the floating military like base. 12 men in blue suits, helmets and guns greeted the others and began to escort Loki away. Iron Man walked a different way as Agent Romanoff turned to the rest before making her way inside. "Please follow me. Fury will be dealing with Loki. He will then come to meet us in the conference room."

There weren't as many stares from the personal on the ship as they were used to seeing all sorts of funnily dressed super heroes though Mercury and Venus did get a few looks for how beautiful they were.

Agent Romanoff led them to a room with a long table and chairs around it. They all sat around the table as Agent Romanoff pressed some buttons to make a screen appear on the table in front of each of the people sitting

Mercury looked up and was intrigued immediately by the technology.

Venus on the other hand just sat across from Captain America and watched as a handsome man with glasses, curly brown hair and brown eyes walked in. He smiled at the others as he entered the room.

Agent Romanoff looked up briefly from what she was doing."Dr Bruce Banner meet Sailor Venus and Sailor Mercury. Don't ask they will explain later."

He just nodded and smiled in greeting when the little blue one waved shyly and the one in orange grinned and winked at him.

They all watched the screen to see Loki being put in a jail of some sort and a man dark skinned man with an eye patch whom they assumed was Fury.

Mercury and Venus studied the two ready to try and figure out as much about the enemy as possible.

Fury walked into where Loki was. "In case it's unclear, if you try to escape, you so much as scratch that glass..." he hit a button on a machine that opened the metal iris panels around the chamber. "Its 30,000 feet straight down a steel trap. You get how that works? Ant...boot."

Venus saw the look of defiance and boredom in Loki as he chuckled and looked directly at the camera. "It's an impressive cage. Not built, I think, for me."

"Built for something stronger than you."

They watched as he chuckled grinning mischievously. "Oh I've heard. The mindless beast, makes play he's still a man. How desperate are you, that you call on such creatures to defend you?"

Venus and Mercury observed how Agent Romanoff looked up and stared at Bruce. They looked towards each other to confirm that they had both seen the same thing. When they nodded to each other they filed the information away for later and focused back on Fury and Loki.

"How desperate am I? You threaten my world with war. You steal a force you can't hope to control. You talk about peace and you kill 'cause it's fun. You have made me VERY desperate. You might not be glad that you did."

"Ooh. It burns you to have come so close. To have the Tesseract, to have power, unlimited power. And for what? A warm light for all mankind to share. And then to be reminded what real power is."

Venus chuckled as Fury's parting quip. "Well let me know if "real power" wants a magazine or something."

Bruce smiled sarcastically. "He really grows on you."

Steve looked serious as he looked at the screen. "Loki's really going to drag this out. So Thor what's his play?"

They all looked at Thor who was standing up. "He has an army, called the Chitauri. They're not of Asgard or any world known. He means to lead them against your people. They will win him the Earth. In return, I suspect, for the Tesseract."

Steve looked slightly awed as he looked between everyone. "An army. From outer space."

Venus shrugged as she looked at Steve. "Wouldn't be the first time we have had an enemy from out of space. You get used to these things."

Bruce on the other hand took off his glasses. "So he's building another portal. That's what he needs Erik Selvig for."

Thor looked at Bruce "Selvig?"

"He's an astrophysicist."

"He's a friend."

Agent Romanoff spoke up with a look of sadness on his face. "Loki has them under some kind of spell. Along with one of ours."

Venus looked up at Agent Romanoff when she felt the emotions come off of her. A deep bond of respect, friendship and even a twinge of love was felt by Venus. "Who does Loki have under his spell?"

Agent Romanoff glanced up at her as her face hardened. "Agent Barton. He is a good agent and friend."

Venus nodded and decided to drop the subject as she could see that the older woman did not want to discuss this with her.

Captain America broke the tension. "I want to know why Loki let us take him. He's not leading an army from here."

Bruce shook his head. "I don't think we should be focusing on Loki. That guy's brain is a bag full of cats. You can smell crazy on him."

Thor growled as he took a step towards Bruce. "Have a care how you speak! Loki is beyond reason, but he is of Asgard and he is my brother!"

Agent Romanoff looked up at him with an eyebrow raised. "He killed eighty people in two days."

Thor shrugged looking a little sheepish. "He's adopted."

Venus giggled slightly before getting serious and standing up. "I have no idea what any of you are talking about. What is this Tesseract and this talk of portals?"

"it's a source of power. The basic you need to know is that Loki will use it to try to take over mankind and that we are trying to get it back before anything happens."

Venus glared slightly at Agent Romanoff for speaking down to her like a child that didn't need to know the whole story. As she was about to talk back, Bruce spoke up. "I think it's about the mechanics. Iridium what do they need iridium for?"

Tony Stark walked into the room accompanied by a slightly balding man in a suit. "It's a stabilising agent. It means the portal won't collapse on itself. Like it did at SHIELD." He walked past Thor and hit him gently on his arm. "No hard feelings Point Break. You've got a mean swing. Also means the portal can open as wide and stay open as long as Loki wants"

Mercury was extremely intrigued and took in all the information given. She secretly pulled out her Mercury computer and quickly hacked into the files easily getting passed all the security due to the technology of her machine and her intelligence. Luckily her Mercury computer was also untraceable so they had no idea that she was getting into secure high level files. The information quickly appeared on her screen and she began reading thankful for her ability to read at a super high speed.

Tony walked up to the machines. "Raise the mizzenmast! Jib the topsails!" Every personal turned to look at him when he suddenly pointed. "That man is playing Galaga! Thought we wouldn't notice. But we did."

He covered one of his eyes and looked around. "How does Fury even see these?"

A pretty woman with brown hair in the blue uniform rolled her eyes. "He turns."

"Sounds exhausting."

Venus giggled at Tony's attitude, she could tell that she would get along well with his playful ways.

Tony started to play with the computers. "The rest of the raw materials Barton can get his hands on fairly easily. Only major component he needs is..."

Mercury cut him off after finished reading all the files and assembling all the facts in her head. "A power source of high level density, to kick-start the cube."

Tony looked at her with an impressed look. "So we have a smart one? Yes that's right."

Mercury blushed red but smiled at the harsh looking brunette woman looked over to Tony. "When did you become an expert in thermonuclear astrophysics?"

Tony shrugged. "Last night. The packet. Selvig's notes, the extraction theory papers. Am I the only one that did the reading? Apart from Blue here." He pointed towards a blushing Mercury as he said blue.

Venus smiled and whispered to Mercury. "Apparently you have earned a nickname. Also seems like we found some of your intellectual equals."

Captain America cut in. "Does Loki need any particular kind of power source?

Bruce answered the question "He's got to heat the cube to a hundred and twenty million Kelvin just to break through the Coulomb barrier."

Tony turned to him. "Unless, Selvig has figured out how to stabilize the quantum tunnelling effect."

Mercury joined in. "Well, if he could do that he could achieve Heavy Ion Fusion at any reactor on the planet."

Tony grinned as he looked at the other two geniuses. "Finally, people who can speak English."

Steve shook his head. "Is that what just happened?"

Venus grinned at him as she rolled her eyes fondly. "I tend to just ignore when Mercury gets into nerd speak."

He looked at her and smiled slightly glad he wasn't the only one not fully getting it.

Tony had walked over to Bruce and shook his hand. "It's good to meet you, Dr. Banner. Your work on anti-electron collisions is unparalleled. And I'm a huge fan of the way you lose control and turn into an enormous green rage monster."

Bruce grimaced and nodded. "Thanks."

Venus looked up at him. "Wait, what?"

Mercury put a hand on Venus' am as she explained what she had learnt about the Hulk from the files she hacked into. Venus' eyes widened. "Remind me not to get on his bad side."

Fury walked into the room. "Dr Banner is only here to track the cube. Stark, I was hoping you might join him."

Fury turned to the Sailor Senshi and appraised them. "So I was told you have powers. Care to explain?"

Venus nodded and explained the history of the Silver Millennium, their powers and their mission.

Steve looked at her in shock. "So you're an alien."

Venus looked at him with a look of slight offense on her face. "We were born on earth so no, in our previous life I guess we could be classified as that if that's what you wish to think."

Tony was curiously studying Mercury. "So ancient Warrior princesses with god like power. What's your power blue?"

Mercury blushed. "My attacks centre on ice and water. Though I am not as skilled in hand to hand combat I am the brains."

Tony nodded turning towards Venus who rolled her eyes. "My attacks are mainly light, love or metal based. I also have my Venus chain and Crystal sword to use in combat. I am the leader of the Inner Senshi."

Tony whistled as she produced her whip and crystal sword. "Pretty cool Xena."

Venus smirked at him and winked as Bruce turned to the Senshi. "The planets don't have civilizations nor can they sustain human life."

Mercury looked at the handsome doctor and smiled slightly while explaining. "Magic was the main way that sustained life but also each race had a different molecular structure that allowed them to live on their planets. We as Senshi were able to journey to the other planets and quickly adjust to the different atmospheres. Once the Silver Millennium fell the civilizations were wiped out and destroyed. Due to the nature of the silver crystal it hide the ancient civilizations from humans. We can see what's left but the only way anybody else would be able to is if one of us Senshi wished for you to see."

Fury who had stayed quiet finally spoke up. "You two could be great assets in this fight. Would you be willing to work with us to stop this threat?"

Venus had a determined look on her face as she turned to Fury "We will as it will help protect out princess but you will not involve her or the others in this fight without my say so. At this stage the threat is not high risk to my princess so she and the others do not need to be involved. If the situation escalates and we have time to get them here I will request their presence but for now I would like all of them in Tokyo protecting our princess and unaware of the situation. Do I make myself clear?"

The others watched as the sign for Venus glowed on her head and power seemed to flow from the young woman. They could certainly see why she was the leader. Fury examined her, it would be a great assest to have more of these warriors on their team but for now he would settle for the two he had.

Mercury turned to Venus. "Are you sure we shouldn't tell the others or get them here?"

"Mercury it isn't technically our fight and since the enemy isn't after the Princess for once we shouldn't bring them here. If they saw her power it may cause them to come after her. The safest thing is to keep her in the dark about the situation, if need be we will explain later but I would rather keep her out of harms way."

Mercury nodded to her leader. "Ok well maybe we should de-henshin. We know their civilian identities so it is only fair. As a sign of good faith."

Venus nodded and the two transformed back into their civilian forms.

When the light faded the group saw two 22 year old women dressed like they were when they were on their way to the gallery. They were in beautiful formal gowns with their hair and makeup done beautifully.

Bruce looked at Mercury and was awed by her subtle beauty. Of course Venus was beautiful he couldn't deny that but he couldn't help but look at the petite blunette with her subtle curves and adorable face.

Steve blushed red as he admired the way the dress fit Venus. The golden colour made her skin glow and her eyes shine. She was absolutely stunning though he shouldn't be shocked considering she was the Goddess of Love and Beauty.

Tony whistled making the two blush. "Looking good girls."

"We were going to the function Loki crashed. My name is Minako Aino but please just call me Mina and this is Ami Mizuno. So back to business?" Mina announced making sure to say their names in the western way as to not confuse anybody.

Steve nodded shaking his head lightly to get him back to business. "Let's start with that stick of his. It may be magical but it works an awful lot like a Hydra weapon."

Fury looked towards Steve. "I don't know about that, but it is powered by the cube. And I'd like to know how Loki used it to turn two of the sharpest men I know into his personal flying monkeys."

Thor looked at Fury in confusion. "Monkeys? I do not understand."

Steve smiled and pointed looking proud of himself. "I do! I understood that reference."

Mina giggled at how adorable he looked while Tony rolled his eyes turning towards Bruce. "Shall we play doctor? Blue you should join us."

Ami looked towards Mina for permission. Mina nodded for her to go with them she could see that Ami was attracted to the Doctor and that she would fit in well with the intelligent men. Bruce pointed the way. "This way."

Mina watched Ami walk away with the two older gentlemen smiling at the excitement in her eyes to get to spend some time with people as intelligent as her, most fell short. The Senshi were all clever in their own way but none came close to Ami's level nor did they enjoy the stuff that Ami did.

Fury turned to Mina. "Let me introduce the rest of my team. You have already met Agent Natasha Romanoff one of the SHIELDS top agents. This man here is Agent Coulson and the other woman is Agent Maria Hill."

Mina nodded and smiled. "Nice to meet you. You wouldn't happen to have some other clothes for me to wear would you? This dress isn't exactly the best for staying in for long periods of time."

Fury nodded. "Agent Hill would you mind getting some clothes for Ms AIno. Would Ms Mizuno require some too?"

Mina nodded. "Yes please bring some back for her too. I will take it to her."

The woman nodded and left the room. Thor turned to her. "You are a goddess?"

Mina shrugged her shoulders and tried to explain as best as she could. "I'm not quite sure it's all very complicated. In the Silver Millenium we were worshipped like gods. We were where the myths originated from so I guess in that way we are gods but in this life it is more that we are their reincarnation or their vessels."

Thor nodded as he appraised her. "What goddess are you?"

"I am the reincarnation of the Goddess of Love and Beauty in Roman mythology. I am sure there is a Norse equivalent in Asgard."

Thor nodded. "Freyja."

Mina nodded and then smile at Maria who had brought back some clothes for her and some for Ami. "I guess I better go change and then take these to Ami."

Fury looked over at Steve. "Escort Ms Aino to the nearest empty barrack. Then take her down to Dr Banner's workstation."

Steve rolled his eyes and nodded. "I guess I should check on Stark to make sure he isn't doing anything stupid. Follow me."

He took her to a nearby room and she quickly went in to get changed. She let her hair down from the up do and instead put it in her customary half up half down style. It looked a bit different than it usually did because of all the curls and the lack of a red bow as she didn't bring one with her. She pulled on the simple black tank top and blushed slightly as she remembered she didn't have a bra on because the dress she was wearing before was backless, luckily her breasts were perky enough almost to the point where they looked fake because of their size and the way they sat. The shirt was a little small and showed a strip of her tummy clinging to her curves. Next she pulled on the pair of black yoga pants that reached just below her knees. For her feet they had given her a pair of white and black runners and socks which she pulled on quickly and fastened. The outfit was nice and comfy and more appropriate than a formal gown.

She looked at herself in the mirror to see that her makeup was still on perfectly and her lips were still a bright red. She decided to leave it on because she had no tissues or makeup wipes to get it all off.

Once she was done she walked back out and smiled at Steve who blushed at seeing her and averted his eye immediately. "Ok lets' go."

As they walked Mina turned to him. "So how did you become Captain America?"

He explained how he became Captain America by the use of a serum. It enhanced everything to the highest level a human could go without become superhuman.

"So what how old are you? You said you fought in the war?"

Steve smiled sadly. "I am technically 94 but was frozen in ice and therefore am 27."

Mina looked at him sadly. "You must have missed so much and lost so many friends."

He sighed and nodded as they reached Bruce's workstation breaking off the conversation. Mina wanted to ask him more but knew that they had to focus, instead she made a mental note to talk to him sometime about his feelings. She could feel the despair, sadness, loneliness and longing roll off him in waves. She wanted to help him but knew it would have to wait.

She smiled warmly as he held open the door for her to walk in first. She entered and giggled at what she saw.

While Mina was with the others Ami, Bruce and Tony made their way to Bruce's workstation. Ami felt the power from Loki's staff as soon as she walked into the room.

She studied it from a far smart enough to know not to touch things that emitted energy that strong.

The three each grabbed out what they would be using to help analyse the staff. Ami of course had out her trust Mercury computer while Bruce was pulling out a few machines and Tony was setting up a black box that had a holographic like screen.

Bruce pulled out a spectrometer and held it over the staff.

"The gamma readings are definitely consistent with salvage reports from the Tesseract but it's going to take weeks to process."

Tony nodded and started messing around with his screen. "If we bypass the mainframe in a direct route to the homer main frame we could clock this in around 600 teraflops."

"All I packed was a toothbrush."

Ami smiled at Bruce softly. "I packed nothing."

Tony smiled at the two. "You should come by Stark Tower sometime. Top 10 floors all R&D, you'd love it... its candy land."

Ami's eyes lit up and she smiled widely momentarily stunning her two male companions. "I may take you up on your offer sometime."

Bruce on the other hand shook his head with a small smile. "Thanks, but the last time I was in New York I kind of broke... Harlem."

Ami looked at Bruce sadly as Tony spoke. "Well I promise a stress free environment. No tension, no surprises."

He then prodded Bruce with a stick that gave a mild electrical shock. Bruce let out a little yelp and turned towards him. Tony looked at his eyes studying carefully as Ami shook her head in amusement.

"Nothing?"

"Hey are you nuts?"

The three turned to see Mina and Steve walk into the room. Steve looked at Tony in irritation.

Tony looked briefly at Steve before turning back to Bruce. "Jury's out. You really have got a lid on it, haven't you? What's your secret? Mellow jazz? Bongo drums? Huge bag of weed?"

Mina giggled as she handed the bundle of clothes to Ami. Who smiled and quickly exited the room to get changed.

Steve glared at Mina for encouraging his attitude before turning back to Tony. "Is everything a joke to you?"

"Funny things are."

"Threatening the safety of everyone on this ship isn't funny."

He paused and looked sheepishly at Bruce. "No offence doc."

Bruce just smiled as he kept working. "It's alright. I wouldn't have come on board if I couldn't handle pointy things."

Tony stepped away. "You're tiptoeing big man. You need to strut."

"And you need to focus on the problem Mr Stark."

Ami walked back into the room and stood by Mina in a white t-shirt and a pair of dark blue tights. She had her hair out in her normal style and her makeup like Mina's was still on.

She raised an eyebrow at Mina to enquire as to why there was tension. Mina just smirked and shook her head as Tony answered Steve grabbing a silver bag.

"You think I'm not. Why did Fury call us in? Why now? Why not before? What isn't he telling us? I can't do the equation unless I have all the variables."

Steve looked at Tony with curiosity. "You think Fury's hiding something?"

Tony gave Steve a look of condescension, he was still so naive. "He's a spy, Captain. He's THE spy. His secrets have secrets." He plopped some food from the silver bag into his mouth as he turned to Bruce. "It's bothering him to. Isn't it"

Bruce looked up with a deer caught in head lights look. "uhhh, ummm. I just want to finish my work here and..."

"Doctor?"

He looked resigned as he glanced at Steve sighing. "A warm light for all mankind, Loki's jab at Fury about the cube.

"I heard it."

"Well I think that was meant for you."Bruce pointed to Tony who nodded and handed out the plastic bag like a reward. Bruce shrugged and took some of the food. "Even if Barton didn't tell Loki about the tower it was still all over the news."

Steve scoffed smirking. "The Stark tower that big ugly..." Tony looked at him and he stopped looking chastised. "Building in New York?"

"It's powered by an ark reactor, self sustaining energy source. That building will run itself for, what a year?"

Tony smirked and nodded. "It's just a prototype." He turned towards the two young women who were just listening to their conversation to gather information. "I'm kind of the only name in clean energy right now. It's what he is getting at."

Bruce nodded. "So why didn't SHIELD bring him in on the Tesseract project? What are they doing in the energy business in the first place?"

"I should probably look into that once my decryption program finishes breaking into all of SHIELDs secure files."

Steve looked at him in shock. "I'm sorry did you say..."

"Jarvis has been running it since I hit the bridge. In a few hours I will know every dirty secret SHIELD has ever tried to hide. Blueberry?"

He held out the bag to Steve and the girls. Steve shook his head. "Yet you're confused as to why they didn't want you around."

"An intelligence agency that FEARS intelligence? Historically, not awesome."

Ami broke into the conversation as she blushed. "I have actually hacked into all the files already to understand what was going on."

Steve turned to her shocked and angry. "Why would you do that?"

Mina stepped in between them glaring at Steve. "Hey don't talk to her like that. She hacked into it because we were pulled into a fight we knew nothing about. We needed to know as much as you guys did to be able to effectively contribute to this team and to protect our princess. We needed to know who Barton was and why it was such a big deal he joined Loki and we needed to ensure that we would be able to help this situation. So back off."

Steve looked appropriately chastised and turned to Ami. "I am sorry for yelling at you Ms Mizuno."

Ami nodded and walked over to Tony to show him how to hack into SHIELD quicker. Bruce glanced at Ami and smiled slightly thoroughly impressed by her, which is something that didn't happen often.

Mina cleared her throat and brought the conversation back to discussing the problem. "From what I have gathered so far about Loki he is like a bit of a trickster very cunning. I feel like him being here benefits himself more than us. I think he is trying to wind you up."

Steve quickly agreed. 'This is a man who means to start a war and if we don't stay focused he will succeed. We have orders we should follow them."

Tony shook his head. "Following is not my style."

"And you're all about style, aren't you?" Steve scoffed.

Tony pretended to think. "Of the people in this room, which one is A - wearing a spangly outfit and B - not of use?"

Mina smiled cheekily as she tried to break the tension. "I'm not of use. These machines make no sense to me."

Bruce shook his head and turned to Steve. "Steve, tell me none of this smells a little funky to you."

Steve looked between them with pursed lips before walking away. "Just find the cube."

Mina smiled at them sadly and made her way after Steve. "Guess I will go after him. I would be of no help in this room and only distract you. Bye Ami, Dr Banner and Mr Stark."

The three geniuses were in front of different screens as Tony scoffed after Steve left. "That's the guy my dad never shut up about? Maybe they should have left him on ice."

Ami sighed as she played peace keeper. "He is right about Loki though. That's the problem with fighting bad guys they know what us good guys want but we never know what they are after. They know that we just want to keep the world safe but we don't know whether they are after a single person or object, out to destroy the whole world or whether they want to enslave us. They are always a few steps ahead."

"What he's got is an acme dynamite kit that's going to blow up in his face and I'm going to be there when it does."

Ami nodded with a look of determination. "Hopefully so will I."

Bruce chuckled as he looked between the two. "I will read all about it."

"Or you will be suiting up with the rest of us." Tony replied.

"You see, I don't get a suit of armour. I'm exposed like a nerve, it's a nightmare."

Ami gave him a look. "At least you don't need to fight in heels and a miniskirt."

Tony grinned. "Can't imagine that's much protection."

Ami shook her head. "Not at all. Luckily we are stronger than most humans and heal a lot faster but we still take a beating most of the time. It definitely wouldn't be the outfit I would choose for fighting evil but I have learnt to embrace it."

"You know, I've got a cluster of shrapnel, trying every second to crawl its way into my heart." Tony said as he pointed to the mini arc reactor in his chest. "This stops it, this little circle of life. Its part of me now, not just armour. It's a... terrible privilege."

Bruce sighed at Tony. "But you can control it."

"Because I learned how."

Ami nodded with Tony. "You should have seen us Senshi when we were powered up to our final form our Eternal one We gained the ability to control some of our powers when not transformed. If our emotions ran wild so did our powers. I still remember when Jupiter kept a storm going for a week when her boyfriend broke up with her or when Mars accidentally set Moon's skirt on fire when she annoyed her a bit. I even accidentally froze a guy that asked me out when I got so nervous I couldn't control it. It's all about practice."

Bruce sighed as he tried to read the computer screen. "It's different."

Tony slid the data aside so that Bruce can look him in the face. "Hey, I've read all about your accident. That much gamma exposure should have killed you."

"So you're saying that the Hulk... the other guy... saved my life? That's nice. It's a nice sentiment. Save it for what?"

Tony shrugged as he went back to his computer. "I guess we'll find out."

"You may not like that."

Ami smiled warmly at Bruce trying to convey that she wasn't afraid of him while Tony answered him. "You just might."

Ami looked at the two older men with a smile thinking about how the three just bonded. She had never connected so easily to people before and felt like she had met some kindred spirits in them even if she was attracted to Dr Banner.

Mina had walked out to see Steve looking suspicious. She stealthily followed him through the halls until he came to a door that said Secure Storage – 10C

She watched as he pulled at the door with all his might. She popped up behind him and giggled as she surprised him causing him to jump slightly.

"Breaking in are we Cap?"

He immediately stopped what he was doing and turned to her with a look of guilt on his face.

She laughed as she saw his face and smiled cheekily at him. "Don't worry I won't tell but now I have seen what you are doing you are including me in it, got it? Plus I will be able to open the door much easier than you."

Steve looked at her small frame and raised an eyebrow. "I doubt it."

Mina rolled her eyes at him. "After all you have seen you still doubt me? Remember I am superhuman plus I have an affinity for metal so move over."

She pushed him out of the way as she closed her eyes and concentrated on the door. Her power over metal in her civilian form wasn't super strong but it was enough to unlock the latches and slide the door open.

"You never mentioned being able to control metal." Steve said looking at her in awe.

Mina winked at him. "A girl has to have a little mystery. Plus I said my powers were metal, love and light. We have only recently been able to control our elements outside of Senshi form. Our powers are evolving."

They walked into the room to see metal boxes everywhere. Steve looked around before jumping up to a higher level. He reached down to help Mina but saw her easily jump onto a box and then up to his level.

They made their way through the carrier bay until Steve had reached some boxes. He opened them and a hard look came across his face. Mina glanced at the items and saw that they were weapons of some kind. She put a hand on his shoulder. "Steve what are they?"

He shook his head and stood up grabbing one of the big guns. "Let's get out of here."

With that he turned away and Mina had no choice but to follow him.

Up in the lab Ami, Bruce and Tony were sitting around watching the screen as Fury stormed in.

"What are you doing, Mr Stark?"

Tony looked at Ami with a pout on his face. "How did you catch me and not her?"

Ami laughed and blushed slightly. "My Mercury computer hacks quickly and leaves no trace."

He huffed as he crossed his arms. "Not fair."

Fury growled and repeated his question. "What are you three doing?"

Tony grinned cheekily at the man. "We've kind of been wondering the same thing about you."

"You three are supposed to be locating the Tesseract."

Bruce nodded at him and pointed at the computer. "We are. The model's locked and we're sweeping for the signature now. When we get the hit, we'll have a signature within half a mile."

"Yeah, you'll get your cube back, no mess, no fuss." Tony paused as he pulled up a file on the screen. "What is Phase 2?"

Mina and Steve entered the room as Steve slams down the weapon he grabbed from the secure section. "Phase 2 is SHIELD uses the cube to make weapons." He turned to the three brains. "Sorry the computer was moving a little slow for me."

Fury turned to Steve. "Rogers, we gathered everything related to the Tesseract, this doesn't not mean that we..."

Tony stood up and turned the monitor around showing a schematic. "I'm sorry Nick, what were you lying?"

Steve looked at Fury as Thor and Agent Romanoff walked into the room. "I was wrong Director, the world hasn't changed a bit."

Mina places a hand on Steve's arm to try and calm him down, he looked down at her and smiled softly at her concern.

Bruce turned to Agent Romanoff. "Did you know about this?"

Natasha just looked indifferent. "You want to think about removing yourself from this environment, Doctor."

Bruce scoffed. "I was in Calcutta. I was pretty well removed."

She walked closer to Bruce. "Loki is manipulating you."

"And you've been doing what, exactly?"

Natasha walked right in front of him "You didn't come here because I batted my eyelashes at you."

He glared down at her. "Yes, and I'm not leaving because suddenly you get a little twitchy."

Ami stood up and pointed to the screen. "I would like to know why SHIELD is using the Tesseract to build weapons of mass destruction."

Fury turned to her. "Technically you aren't a part of us so you have no right to know."

Mina growled as she stepped forward. "We helped save people in Germany and helped you capture Loki. You asked us to help you guys with this threat. So either you tell us what is going on or we leave you to deal with a crazed god without warriors that are almost as powerful."

Fury glared at her but nodded knowing that with Sailor Venus and Sailor Mercury one the team they were more powerful and had a better chance of winning this battle.

"Because of him." He pointed towards Thor who looked confused.

"Me?"

He nodded. "Last year, Earth had a visit from another planet that had a grudge match that levelled a small town. We learned that only are we not alone, but we are hopelessly, hilariously outgunned."

Thor glared at Fury. "My people want nothing but peace with your planet!"

"But you're not the only ones out there, are you? And you're not the only threat. The world is filling up with people that can't be matched, that can't be controlled!""

Mina stepped forwards and chuckled humourlessly. "What you don't realise Mr Fury is that earth has had visitors from other planets many times. The Senshi alone have faced many enemies that are from other worlds and each time they are beaten. I have been facing these evils since I was 13. Where there is evil there are always those granted with the responsibility to protect this word. When these threats appear there are always those that step up."

Steve glanced at her in surprise and admiration after hearing her say she had been fighting since she was 13. She was definitely dedicated to her duty and the way she spoke about the world showed that she was brave and fought for justice. She held to the beliefs he himself followed and he knew that she was someone he could fight alongside of.

Fury turned to Mina. "What if you protectors of the world decide that your powers should be used to take over the world? How do we humans protect ourselves from Gods? There needs to be something to help us control the situation."

Steve stood up next to Mina. "Like you control the cube?"

Mina looked up at Steve in shock as he stood beside her before turning back to Fury. "Who's to say that these weapons won't corrupt you and make you want to take over the world or worse they end up in the enemy's hands?"

"Your work with the Tesseract is what drew Loki to it... and his allies. It is a signal to the Realm that Earth is ready for a higher form of war!" Thor exclaimed as he stepped towards Fury.

"Higher form? You forced our hand! We had to come up with some way that we could..."

Tony cut Fury off. "A nuclear deterrent? Cause that always calms everything right down..."

Ami sneered at Fury. "Nuclear deterrents are the worst idea especially in these cases. If the person wants earth destroyed it won't stop anything. It will just cause more destruction!"

Fury scoffed at Tony, ignoring Ami. "Remind me how you made your fortune, Mr Stark."

Steve stepped closer. "I'm sure if Stark still made weapons he would be neck deep in it."

"Wait, hold on. How is this now about me?"

"I'm sorry, isn't everything?" Steve answered Tony rolling his eyes.

"I thought humans were more evolved than this." Thor commented as Fury turned on him next.

"Excuse me, did WE come to YOUR planet and blow stuff up?"

Everybody in the lab began arguing and Mina and Ami took a step back slightly as they were not part of the group officially.

Natasha's voice was heard. "Are you guys really that naive? S.H.I.E.L.D. monitors potential threats."

Bruce looked sceptical at her. "Captain America is on threat watch?"

She whirled around to face him "We ALL are!"

Tony turned to Steve. "You're on that list? Are you above or below angry bees?"

"I swear, Stark, one more wisecrack out of you..." Steve replied in annoyance.

Tony smirked at him. "Verbal threat! Threatening! I'm being threatened!"

The arguing increased and Mina and Ami could feel power emitting from Loki's staff. They couldn't just stand here and let the argument continue.

Mina pushed through the circle as she yelled drawing the attention to her. "ENOUGH! You all need to calm the hell down! What kind of team are you!"

Bruce scoffed. "Team? No no no. We're a chemical mixture that makes chaos. We're... we're a time-bomb."

Fury stepped towards him. "You need to step away."

"Why shouldn't the guy let off a little steam?" Tony exclaimed as he put his hand on Steve's shoulder.

"You know damn well why! Back off!" Steve exclaimed as he pushed his arm off him.

Tony narrowed his eyes. "Oh, I'm starting to want you to make me"

Steve rose up to his full height circling Tony "Big man in a suit of armour. Take that off, what are you?"

"Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist."

Ami nodded in agreement as Mina put her hand through her hair as she mumbled to Ami. "Men and their pissing contests."

Steve glared don at Tony. "I know guys with none of that worth ten of you. I've seen the footage. The only thing you really fight for is yourself. You're not the guy to make the sacrifice play, to lay down on a wire and let the other guy crawl over you."

Tony smirked at Steve. "I think I would just cut the wire."

Steve shook his head. "Always a way out... You know, you may not be a threat, but you better stop pretending to be a hero."

"A hero? Like you? You're a laboratory experiment, Rogers. Everything special about you came out of a bottle!"

"Put on the suit. Let's go a few rounds."

Thor interrupted the boys with a low chuckle. "You people are so petty and tiny."

Mina sighed as she looked at Ami. "And I thought our team was bad with our arguments. It seems like a walk in the park compared to this. Remind me to never get frustrated with our teamwork ever again.

Ami nodded with a small grimace on her face.

Fury turned to Natasha. "Agent Romanoff, would you escort Dr. Banner back to his..."

"Back where? You rented my room." Bruce exclaimed as he cut Fury off.

"The cell was built..."

Bruce cut Fury off again. "In case you needed to kill me, but you can't! I know! I tried..." The others all looked at him in shock. He turned to see Ami looking up at him with big sad blue eyes and he felt compelled to explain. "I got low. I didn't see an end, so I put a bullet in my mouth... and the other guy spit it out! So I moved on. I focused on helping other people. I was good, until you dragged me back into this freak show and put everyone here at risk!"

He slowly got up and looked at Natasha who stated to feel nervous.

"You want to know my secret, Agent Romanoff? You want to know how I stay calm?"

Natasha and Fury both put their hands to their guns as Ami stepped forward. "Doctor Banner... put down the sceptre."

Bruce looked down is shock to see that he was holding Loki's sceptre. Ami and Mina both had their henshin sticks in their hand ready to transform. He gently put down the sceptre as the computer beeped.

"Sorry, kids. You don't get to see my little party trick after all."

Thor looked over. "Did you locate the Tesseract? It belongs on Asgard, no human is a match for it."

Tony went to walk out as Steve grabbed his arm. "You're not going alone."

"You going to stop me?" Tony hissed back

"Put on the suit and we will find out."

Tony smirked at Steve. "I'm not afraid to hit an old man."

Steve's mouth tightened "Put on the suit."

Mina and Ami rolled their eyes at the two boys that couldn't seem to have a conversation without arguing.

Bruce studied the computer and pulled off his glasses "Oh my god."

Just then a giant explosion went off in the room flinging everyone inside to different places. Mina, Steve and Tony were flung to one side and Thor to another. Poor Natasha, Ami and Bruce had it the worst as they were blown through the window and landed roughly on the floor.

Hope that chapter was ok. As you can tell I am trying to add a bit more romance to the storyline.

As always please review though no flames.

Also let me know if you would like to see Mina paired with a guy in a crossover oneshot. I think I am going to aim for one a month.

I will hopefully update soon. :)
