Chapter 43

Natasha was piloting the plane out of Sokovia. Natasha looked over at Bruce who was listening to Opera with a set of headphones. "Hey, the lullaby worked better than ever."

"Just wasn't expecting the Code Green." Bruce said looking up at the red haired woman.

"If you hadn't been there, there would've been double the casualties. My best friend would've been a treasured memory."

"You know, sometimes exactly what I want to hear isn't exactly what I want to hear."

"How long before you trust me?"

"It's not you I don't trust." Bruce said, shaking his head lightly.

"Thor reports on the Hulk?"

"The gates of Hela are filled with the screams of his victims."

Natasha glared at Thor.

Banner groaned in despair.

"Uh, but, not the screams of the dead, of course. No no, uh...wounded screams, mainly whimpering, a great deal of complaining and tales of sprained deltoids and, and uh... and gout."

"Hey Bruce, Dr. Cho is on her way in from Seoul, is it okay if she sets up in your lab?" Tony questioned looking at his science brother away from the blonde haired woman who was trying to keep Clint from bleeding all over the place.

"Uh, yeah, she knows her way around." Bruce said, nodding his head.

"Thanks. Tell her to prep everything, Barton's gonna need the full treatment." Tony told Jarvis.

"Very good sir."

"JARVIS, take the wheel."

"Yes, sir. Approach vector is locked."

"It feels good, yeah? I mean, you've been after this thing since SHIELD collapsed. Not that I haven't enjoyed our little raiding parties, but…"

"No, but this... this brings it to a close." Thor said, crossing his arms looking at the scepter with disdain.

"As soon as we find out what else this has been used for. I don't just mean weapons. Since when is Strucker capable of human enhancement?" Steve questioned his brows furrowed in worry.

"Banner and I'll give it the once before it goes back to Asgard. Is that cool with you?" Tony questioned Thor.

Thor nodded his head.

"I mean, just a few days until the farewell party. You're staying right?"

"Yes, yes, of course. A victory should be honored with revels." Thor said, looking at Tony.

"Yeah. Who doesn't love revels. Captain?"

"Hopefully this puts an end to the Chitauri and HYDRA, so. Yes, revels."

Everleigh pursed her lips together as she listened to what was being said. Honestly, she was rather concerned for Clint if they didn't get him to the doctor soon enough.

The aircraft landed at the Avengers tower in New York.

Clint was taken by Dr. Cho to be tended to.

Maria walked up to Tony. "Lab's all set up, boss."

Tony pointed at Steve. "Uh, actually, he's the boss. I just pay for everything, and design everything and make everyone look cooler."

"What's the word on Strucker?" Steve questioned looking at Maria.

"NATO's got him."

"The two enhanced?"

"Wanda and Pietro Maximoff. Twins. Orphaned at ten when a shell collapsed their apartment building. Sokovia's had a rough history. It's nowhere special but it's on the way to everywhere special."

"Their abilities?"

"He's got increased metabolism and improved thermal homeostasis. Her thing is neural electric interfacing, telekinesis, and mental manipulation."

Steve looked at Maria with his brows furrowed.

"He's fast and she's weird."

Everleigh shifted rather nervously, was that what people thought of her?

"Well, they're going to show up again."

"Agreed. File says they volunteered for Strucker's experiments. It's nuts."

"Right. What kind of monster would let a German scientist experiment on them to protect their country?"

"We're not at war, Captain."

"They are."

"It doesn't matter if they are Steve. We're not going to be involved in their war." Everleigh said, shaking her head. "Not sure about anyone else, but I'm not getting involved." She walked away shaking her head lightly. She didn't want to do anything stupid and she wasn't about to let Steve to get her involved in this battle. Granted she was a little concerned about the twins and what they were able to do. It made her heart ache to know that they were enhanced like she was.

Everleigh sat in her room in the tower taking a soft breath. She blinked a few times when she felt magic in her room. Her head shot up seeing Loki standing there in her room. "What are you doing here? Are you trying to get yourself caught?" She hissed looking at the God of Mischief.

Loki let out a soft chuckle. "Wonderful seeing you too, pet."

"It's not smart coming here. Thor is here." She said softly looking at Loki.

"I'm just stopping by to see if you're keeping to your word, pet."

"I haven't told Thor a thing, but you need to come clean sooner or later about being alive to him. He won't be pleased to know that you've kept it hidden this long."

Loki touched her cheek softly. "All in due time."

"I won't be there for the…"

Loki's fingers touched her lips softly silencing her.

Everleigh swallowed the lump in her throat. She backed away a little, her cheeks flushed in embarrassment.

Loki smiled a sly smile.

"Miss Vincin." Jarvis' voice rang out through the room.

Loki suddenly vanished from the room.

Everleigh swallowed the lump in her throat. "Yes, Jarvis?"

"Mr. Stark wants me to tell you about a party for tomorrow evening."

"I'll be there Jarvis."

"I will alert Mr. Stark."

"Thank you Jarvis." She took a soft breath rubbing her face softly.
