The more I go, the more AU of Sailor Moon might be, though I'm still doing homework on that.

The team now stood in the Quinjet as it flew back to base. "I don't like it." Steve said to Tony quietly.
"What, Rock Of Ages giving up so easily?" Tony snarky asked.
"That's just it. They never give up that easily." Trista said as she stood next to Steve. "The enemy never gives up without a hard fight." She folds her arms. "He's got to be up to something."
Tony looks at Trista, then to Michelle. "Ladies." He looks back at Trista. "You're a scientist from Tokyo." He looks at Michelle. "And you, you're a famous violinist. You ladies are far from home aren't you?" He looks Steve. "What's your secret? Pilates?"
The girls and Steve look at each other, the girls confused, Steve also confused but for a whole different reason. Steve just looked at Tony with irritation. "What?"
Tony looked between the three, his eyes lingering on the girls longer with surprise. "I get him not knowing, but you two?"
"I know more than you think." Trista told him.
Steve was getting irritated with Tony. "Fury didn't tell me he was calling you in." He said in a serious tone.
"Yeah, there are a lot of things Fury hasn't told you." Tony responded simply just as a lightning storm suddenly appeared all around them.
Michelle noticed Loki's expression. "Why do you look so uneasy?" Her question got the other's attention.
"What's the matter? Scared of a little lightning?" Steve asked Loki.
"I am not overly … fond of what follows it." Loki answered, looking genuinely scared. Seconds later a weight rammed onto the roof of the Quinjet, again shaking the passengers inside. Trista fell into Steve who caught her as Tony put his helmet back on and opened the ramp to the Quinjet.
As soon as it as open, a figure jumps down from the roof and onto the ramp of the jet as he held a large hammer. Tony tried to blast him, but the figure blasted him back hitting him into the others. As they fell to the floor of the jet, the figure grabs Loki by the throat yanking him out of the restrains and flew out of the Quinjet.
"What was that?" Michelle groaned.
"And now there's that guy." Tony said annoyed.
"Another Asgardian?" Natasha asked over the storm.
"You think that guy's friendly?" Steve asked as he helped Trista stand back up.
"Doesn't matter. If he frees or kills Loki, the Tesseract is lost." Tony states as he heads for the ramp.
"Stark we need a plan of attack!" Steve calls as Iron Man prepares himself to blast off.
"I have a plan. Attack." Tony didn't look back before he blasted off, disappearing in the storm.
Steve grabs a parachute to strap on.
"What are you doing?" Michelle asked, watching him.
"Getting Loki back." Steve answered as he tightened the straps of the parachute on his back.
"I think you should sit this one out Cap." Natasha called from the front. "These guys are legends, they're basically Gods!"
"There's only one God, ma'am, and I don't think he dresses like that." He moves to the ramp and jumps out.
"I'd like to comment about the Captain, I saw him first." Michelle smiled.
"Nu huh." Trista shook her head. "Fight first, then drool."
"Right." Michelle nods, she turns to approach the front. "You have a location for Loki?"
The red head frowns as she looks at the dashboard in front of her. "I got him."
"Then track my location." Trista said as she moves, grabbing a parachute and strapping herself with it.
"Trista, wait!" Michelle calls with worry before her friend jumps out.
XxXxXxXxXx
Once on the ground. Trista got out of the parachute and ran. She soon came up behind Loki and summoned her Garnet Rod and aimed it at his back. "You're trespassing on Planet Earth, make the slightest move, and you'll regret it." She said with ice in her voice as Loki put his hands up and slowly turned around.
"You're royal." He said in surprise. "A Princess in battle? Who."- Loki didn't get a chance as the orb on Trista's Garent Rod glowed and a light shot out toward him.
Loki fell backwards on his back, ropes appearing around him and a gag over his mouth. Once he was restrained, Trista lifted her staff and Loki levitated just as the Quinjet landed nearby.
XxXxXxXxX
Trista hurried over to the fight between Captain America, Iron Man and the new arrival. Trista lifted her Garnet Rod and the orb glowed brightly, as it did she moved it towards the fight and the orb grew brighter and a blinding light shot out towards the fight, engulfing the night into a blinding light stopping the fight.
Steve opened his eyes and lowered his shield from his face, as the new arrival also lowered his arm, while Tony blinked from behind his helmet. The three turned to see Trista walking towards them.
"Are you children done yet?" She asked as she approaches while still holding her staff. "You two." She fixed her red eyes on Tony and the arrival. "Left the enemy all alone." She turns to Steve. "I thought you were stopping this man from taking Loki. Captain, I'm disappointed."
"Wait a minute, he attacked me." Steve pointed at the arrival.
"Only because you wanted him to put his hammer down." Tony counters.
Trista shook her head. "You children are fighting over a toy? Why not act like the grown men you are?"
"Mjǫllnir is not a toy." The arrival spoke, he approaches Trista. "Sincere apologies Princess. I did not mean to anger you." He knelt in front of her, making Steve's and Tony's jaws drop. "A royal can spot another royal. I am Thor son Odin."
"Please, rise Prince Thor." Trista told him, he does. "I'm Trista. Princess of Planet Pluto. Please tell us, what brings you to Earth and why take our prisoner?"
"I have come for my brother to bring him home. He will face Asgardian law." Thor told her with an upset tone.
"I am sorry Thor, but it's not that simple. Loki stole the Tesseract from SHIELD." Trista told him. "And he is mind controlling good Agents, including a personal and dear friend of mind. We need Loki so we can find our Agents so we can heal them."
"And then what happens?" Thor asks.
"As Princess, I promise you. You may have him back. But myself or these children right here will not be held responsible if the eel escapes."
Thor lets out a thunderous laugh. "I will see to it that he behaves himself while in your custody, Princess. He is quite the trickster."
XxXxXxXxXxXx
Once back at base. Loki now stood in the middle of what looked like a powerful and solid doom.
"In case it's unclear." Fury said as he hits a few buttons, and the floor under the doom opened. "If you try to escape, if you scratch the glass, it's a 30,000 foot drop in a steal trap." He explained. "You get how that works? Ant, boot."
Sitting next to Steve, Hotaru looks at him before looking back at the monitors.
"It's an impressive cage." Loki said happily. "Not built for me, I think." He looked around. Trista and Michelle turns to look at Banner.
"Built for something a lot stronger than you." Fury counters.
"Oh, I've heard." Loki sounds interested. A chill ran down Hotaru's spin, on impulse she grabs Steve's arm with a little fright, he looked at her and saw the scared look on her face, he patted her hand for comfort. "How desperate are you?" Loki chuckled. "To call on such creatures defend you? Not to mention two gorgeous and powerful princesses."
"How desperate am I? You came to my world, you steal a force you can't hope to control. You talk about peace yet you kill people, for the fun of it. You have made me very desperate."
"It burns you to have come so close. To have the Tesseract, and have power, unlimited power. And for what? A warm light for all mankind to share? And to be reminded of real power." Loki smugly leaned on the doom with an arm above his head as he looks at Fury.
"Well let me know if 'real power' wants a magazine or something." Fury sarcastically said as he walks away.
"He grows on you, doesn't he?" Bruce asked, looking at everyone.
"Like a Peeping Tom." Hotaru shuttered, pulling away from Steve to sit more properly in her chair.
"Loki's going to drag this out." Steve said.
"Can we talk about how relaxed he looks?" Michelle asked, studying the screen. "Thor, do you no what game he's playing?" She asked nicely.
"He has an army called the Chitauri. They are not Asgardian, or that o any other world known. He means to lead them against your people." He answered gravely. "They will win him the Earth."
"Who gave him the army?" Hotaru asked.
"I am sorry little one." Thor shook his head. "I do not know."
"An army from outer space." Steve is shocked.
"He means to build another portal." Bruce said out loud. "That's what he needs Eric Selvig for."
That grabs Thor's attention. "Selvig?"
"He's an astrophysicist." Bruce told him.
"He's a friend." Thor countered.
"We'll get him back." Trista told him, her gaze landed on Hotaru. "All of them."
"Why did Loki take my father?" The teenager in the room asked, shocking Steve, Bruce, and Thor. "And Dr. Selvig? Loki's not leading an army from where he is."
"I don't think we should focus that much on Loki. His brain is a bag full of cats." Bruce said, pacing. "You can smell the crazy." He smiled a little.
"Take care how you speak." Thor threatened. "Loki is beyond reasoning, but he is Asgard, and he is my brother."
"He killed 80 people in two days." Natasha said in a deadpan voice.
"He's adopted." Thor said offhandedly.
"Let me guess, once that was revealed to him. He didn't take that too gently, did he?" Hotaru asked.
Thor looks at her. "Among other things, yes. I am sorry he has taken your father, young Princess."
Hotaru smiles at his kindness. "Thank you." She was liking him.
"I think it's about the Mechanics." Bruce said in thought. "Iridium … why do they need that for?" He asks looking around.
"It's a stabilizing agent." Trista answered as she stared off into the space, her red eyes not focused like she's in deep thoughts.
"I'm just saying." Tony is heard as he walks in with Phil. "Pick a weekend, I will have you flown to Portland." Tony was telling Phil. "Keep the love alive." He walks away from an annoyed Phil and approaches the team. "It means the portal won't collapse on itself as it did at SHIELD." He started to walk past Thor. "No hard feelings Point Break, you've got a mean swing." He patted the prince's arm before stepping up onto the bridge.
Steve looks at Trista, who's sitting beside him but she looks to be in deep thought, not wanting to disturb her, he turns to Michelle. "You never said anything about being princesses."
"But Captain, that's half the fun." She teased with a smile.
"Doctor Banner is only here to track the cube." Fury said as he came in. "I was hoping you might join him and Dr. Meioh."
"I would start with that stick of his." Steve told them. "It maybe magical, but an awful lot like an HYDRA weapon." He said as Trista blinks, finally focusing on the task at hand.
"I don't know about that, but it's powered by the cube. And I want to know how he turned two of the sharpest men I know into his flying monkeys." Fury replied with annoyance.
"Monkeys? I don't understand." A confused Thor said.
"I do!" Steve said happily. Everyone looked at him weirdly. "I got that reference." He said sheepishly. Hotaru did not hide her laughter, while Michelle hide her giggle. Trista also laughed as she stood up and patted Steve's shoulder as he tried to not blush from everyone looking at him.
Tony turns to Bruce. "Shall we play doctor?"
"Boys and their toys." Trista said, shaking her head.
"You gonna be ok with those two?" Steve asked.
"I know how to handle myself." Trista smiled at his concern. "If grown men can act like children, I know what to do." With that she follows Tony and Bruce.
Steve follows her with his eyes again.
"The Captain has a crush on Trista." Hotaru said with a giggle, making Steve fumble around.
"Hotaru, don't even think of anything." Michelle said as she stood from her chair. "Now we need to find our transformation pens."
Hotaru jumps up. "The Captain's gonna faint once we do transform!" She said cheeky as she quickly follows Michelle off the bridge.
Steve frowns. "Clearly I'm missing something, cause everyone here knows something I don't."
"Captain, you have know clue who those ladies are, do you?" Fury questions.
Steve shook his head. "No sir."
"Then this might be fun to experience." Fury replied.
