Fury was walking alongside his second in command, Maria Hill, tasking an evacuation. "Get all the Phase 2 crates out of here. I want this whole place emptied out as fast as possible." Fury then continued on to a large chamber where several scientists and Dr. Selvig were working on a blue cube. "Give me good news doctor.

Selvig turned away from his computer frowning, "I'm sad to say there isn't much I can tell you. The cube seems to be pulsing in a rhythmic fashion, as if it is knocking. I can't get a reading on any outgoing signals, but the power of the pulses seem to be increasing."

Fury frowned, "If we aren't sure of what it's doing, then shut it down. I don't need an unknown phenomenon happening in my base."

Selvig was about to answer when the cube, or the tesseract, started glowing even brighter before it shot out a line of energy hitting down range and opening a portal. Fury's glare intensified as he yelled into his comms, "I want all personnel out of this facility immediately. Drop whatever you're doing and evacuate, NOW!" The scientists that were behind him were already fleeing but the nearby agents pulled out their firearms to aim at the portal. "Agent Hill, call in Summoner."

Fury wasn't able to send out any more orders as the portal closed leaving behind a man in green and gold clothing, carrying a scepter. Pulling his gun, Fury moved up, "Identify yourself!"

Loki, who finally gained his balance after arriving through the portal from outside this galaxy, looked up at the surrounding agents. He smirked as he stood and walked to the side leaving an illusion in his place.

Fury again yelled, "Identify yourself or we will open fire!"

Loki, who was already behind the agents aiming at his clone just laughed, sending his voice through his illusion, "Do you know who I am? Do you understand the item you are so carelessly poking and prodding like the animals you are? I am Loki. A god walks amongst you now. So kneel before me and I shall reward you."

Selvig replied instead, "Loki? As in Thor's brother?"

Fury stepped in, "We have no quarrel with your people."

Loki replied with a mocking smile, "An ant has no quarrel with a boot."

Fury gained a grim look, "Are you planning to step on us?"

Loki smirked, "I come with gl-" Loki's illusion was shattered by a glowing energy arrow striking it through the head. Fury, seeing Loki being insubstantial, jumped away from his position, just barely dodging a blast from Loki who appeared behind all the agents. Loki didn't get much time to do anything else when another arrow of energy nailed him in the shoulder causing him to falter for a moment before he turned around with a snarl blasting the suspended platform holding Hawkeye and knocking it down.

Loki moved on to his real objective, tapping a few of the nearby guards and Selvig on the chest before blasting again at Fury who was trying to pocket the tesseract. When another energy arrow came flying at him Loki yelled, "Enough!" smacking away the projectile with his scepter, before he stomped over to the Tesseract and grabbed it. Holding the tesseract Loki started to approach the downed Fury,

Hawkeye, who was taking aim for another shot, pulled out an explosive arrow and shot the ground between Loki and Fury, tossing both away from each other. Realizing he might lose the scientist, Loki retreated with the Tesseract throwing blasts of energy at the spot he last saw the sniper, until his entire group disappeared.

Hawkeye approached Fury, "You good boss?"

Fury grunted as he rolled his shoulder and pulled out his radio, "Hill, an intruder has made off with the Tesseract and Selvig. Stop them at all costs." Barely after his announcement, he heard gunfire from the area Loki left from.

Clint helped Fury up, "We need to get out of here, the portal is about to collapse." Fury just nodded as they ran off to escape the soon to be buried facility. Eventually they rounded themselves up and headed for the helicarrier.

Meanwhile, Harry was teaching Wanda how to harness her magic in a more controlled way, "Now slowly reach for your magic and have it turn the page." Wanda was concentrating on the notebook in front of her as the page she was focusing on gained a red hue and was being slowly turned. She was almost done when Harry's phone rang, breaking her concentration and ripping the page in half.

Harry gave her an apologetic smile, "You almost had it, but being interrupted happens all the time and it'll be the next issue we work on. Now I need to answer that, keep practicing." Harry mussed her hair slightly and ignored the indignant shout as he grabbed his phone, "Harry here."

"Summoner, I need you to come in immediately. There's been an attack." Fury's no nonsense voice came from the phone.

Harry sighed, "I'll meet you on the helicarrier." Harry hung up and looked over at Wanda practicing. He approached her and let her finish her current try. She almost had it but made a small tear at the very end. "Don't worry you're getting better everyday. Unfortunately I got called in so I need to drop you and Pietro off at the school, okay?"

Wanda pouted but nodded before she ran off to tell her brother. Harry cleaned up the table and made his way upstairs, finding both twins talking in the hall, "Alright I don't know how long I'll be working, but I'll give you an update if anything changes alright?"

Wanda and Pietro both nodded and walked towards the open portal. Pietro was already racing off when he passed through but Wanda stopped and gave him a hug, "Be safe, okay?"

Harry smiled, "Don't you worry. I'll be back before you know it." Harry then let Wanda move through on her own before his smile disappeared and his new uniform wrapped around him and he faded away reappearing in his office on the helicarrier.

Harry made his way through the helicarrier, dodging agents running everywhere, until he came upon Bruce Banner and Natasha Romanov walking away from the deck. "Widow."

Natasha gave him a smile, "Summoner. Meet Dr. Bruce Banner."

Harry grabbed Bruce's hand and shook it, "We've already met. How's everything been going Dr. Banner? Still having the discussions?"

Bruce smiled, recognizing the voice of the man who helped him converse with his greener half, "We are doing very well, thank you."

Natasha interrupted, "Sorry Summoner, but I need to get Banner to the lab. He's going to track down the Tesseract for us."

Harry showed shock in his eyes, "Someone stole the Tesseract? Who?"

Natasha didn't stop to explain and just left a name, "Loki."

Harry watched her walk away before grunting, "Asgardians." He then entered the deck where he saw Fury and Coulson talking with the famous Captain America.

Fury noticed him first, "Summoner good to have you on board. Loki has made off with the Tesseract and we need to find it before he can solidify his plans. Right now we are searching for it using video surveillance, but I'd like you to be mission ready at the drop of a hat."

Harry nodded to him before he approached Steve Rogers, "Captain."

Steve greeted him back, "Ha-" Steve coughed from the unexpected elbow from Harry, "Summoner." Steve said in correction before casting his eyes about.

Harry rolled his eyes, "Come on Cap, let's go get you suited up." Steve rubbed the back of his head before he followed Harry. On their way they ran into Natasha, "Hey Widow. Is Dr. Banner already hard at work?"

Natasha easily fell in step with Harry, "The good doctor is already calling up some of his associates to tune their spectrometers to help the search." Natasha gave Steve a once over, "Where are you two headed?"

Harry grinned, "I'm giving the Captain his new suit."

Natasha smirked as she subconsciously rubbed her vibranium accessories, "Good. He'll need all the help he can get." Natasha started to walk off, "By the way, Clint says that bow did some damage to Loki." She called out before turning a nearby hallway.

Harry chuckled, "Clint got a bow from me and Stark that fires energy projectiles. He had been dying to try it out." Harry explained to Steve as they finally came to a door. Harry was quick to unlock it and lead Steve inside.

Steve was looking around the room noticing a few boxes and three alcoves on the wall, two of which were empty, the third held a familiar looking suit. Steve slowly walked up to it running his hand over the suit. "What do you think?"

Steve was pulled out of his memories when Harry or Summoner asked him about the suit. His new suit was a deep blue with a red chest plate and a white star in the middle. It had red and white striped arm guards with the right one having a mount for his shield. The pants were the same blue with red and white striped shin guards and red boots. "It looks phenomenal." Steve said with some wonder, "What is this material through? Why does it feel like scales or hide?"

Harry grinned, "That is dragonhide. It's from a type of Japanese water dragon. Those new metal protection plates are all magic metal as well. The mount on the forearm bracer will hold your shield and the shield will return to you when you call it." Harry watched as Steve continued to inspect it, now with a bit of incredulity. "Don't worry too much about it, just suit up."

Harry left when Steve acknowledged him and walked back to the deck. He didn't quite make it before his phone rang, "Summoner we found Loki. Get to the deck!" Harry faded from the spot he was standing to appear silently in the deck area near where Fury was standing earlier. Fury's was startled so much he was halfway through drawing his gun, "Mother fucker, I almost shot you. Didn't you used to make noise when you did that?"

"Yep." When Harry didn't elaborate, Fury just gave him a glare until lHarry's smile turned into a smirk, "Not on the deck director." Fury just grunted before he turned to his station.

"This is a video feed of Loki showing up at some gala in Germany. I need you to go and apprehend him." Harry nodded before he walked to the side and made a portal to a nearby rooftop. He was stepping through when Steve came barreling from the hallway fully suited up.

"This way Captain." Harry motioned Steve through the portal before closing it after giving Fury a jaunty wave. "Loki is down in that plaza." Harry said needlessly as an explosion sounded out from the blast of Loki's scepter.

Steve didn't wait and had already jumped off the roof using his shield to slam into a wall and kick off making his way to street level in the nearby alley. Harry shook his head as he floated to the ground. Steve was already rushing across the crowd as he jumped in front of an old man standing up to Loki, sending the blast back at Loki knocking him off his feet.

"The last time I was in Germany and I saw a man standing above everyone else, we ended up disagreeing." Steve said as he walked towards Loki through the crowd of people.

Loki got up with a grunt and anger shining in his eyes, "The Soldier. A man out of time."

Steve just replied, "I'm not the one out of time." Loki barely had time to react before he was smacked into the air from a stone fist rising from the ground. The battle started causing the nearby pedestrians to flee while Steve moved forwards using a combo to keep him off balance.

"Enough!" Loki finally blasted back Steve when he was summoning his Shield after a throw, "I tire of-." He didn't get to finish as Harry appeared right in front of him glowing red and uppercutting him, sending his head back and his body flying. Harry waved his hand as the ground around Loki shifted like liquid locking his hands and legs together.

"You were just as insufferable on Asgard." Harry watched Loki recognize him and spit some blood off to the side. When it looked like he was going to say something Harry conjured a muzzle on him, "You're coming with us Loki." Harry walked up to him and grabbed his collar and dragged him over to where Steve was picking up the scepter. "Watch him. I'm going to go and check for any injured civilians and fix some of the damage." Steve nodded.

Harry first fixed the streets and areas outside the building where the gala was held. There were some officers with minor injuries but they would be fine on their own. Harry quickly made his way inside and found a man barely alive and missing an eye on an old altar of some kind. Moving swiftly, Harry had the man's wound healed up and dropped at a nearby hospital in only a few minutes. Fading back to the spot he left Loki he found more destruction. Tony, Steve, and surprisingly Thor were arguing.

"-u let him get away!" Tony shouted at the blonde Asgardian.

"Loki is the responsibility of Asgard." Thor said slightly meek due to Loki escaping.

"Alright that's enough of that." Harry said as he walked up to the group. "What happened Captain?"

Steve looked between the other two before turning to Harry, "I was watching the prisoner, when this man," he said gesturing to Thor, "came flying down. He approached Loki and grabbed him. When I tried to intervene he attacked, that's when Stark showed up. We battled and before we knew it Loki had left."

Harry tiredly rubbed his temples, "Let's just get back to base." He opened a portal leading directly to the helicarrier where Fury was waiting, giving them all a disappointed look.

"Next time drop the prisoner first." Fury said to Harry as he glared at the others while greeting them, "Stark, Captain, Thor. Thor, I need an idea on what Loki has planned."

Thor nodded, "Loki has an army called the chitauri. They are not of any known systems and they are ruthless. He also has a weapon of great power called the Cask of Ancient Winters."

Harry listening nearby just smacked his head over and over against the wall behind him. When he looked back to the group they were all staring at him. Grunting he got up and approached Thor and poked him in the chest, "You're telling me that Loki Laufeyson, the, would be, prince of Jotunheim, has the ancient weapon of Frost Giants that allowed them to attack and invade different worlds?"

At that Thor slightly paled before he swiftly looked around, "No?" Harry sighed. "Do not worry Sei∂r. I am sure I can muster the armies of Asgard."

Harry looked up, "Can you really?"

Thor nodded, "Of course. I just need the Tesseract and I can rebuild the bifrost."

He didn't even want to ask. His head was already hurting from the incompetence of a race of thousand year old children, "What happened to the bifrost Thor?"

Thor sheepishly grinned, "Loki destroyed it when he fled Asgard after being reprimanded by father for killing Laufey." Harry groaned before he glared at Thor and snapped his fingers making him bald. Thor gaped and went to check his head patting the smooth skin where his hair once was, "Not my hair!" Thor summoned his hammer from where it sat on a nearby table, but before it could reach him Harry had snapped out his hand grabbing it and stopping it in mid-air. Lightning seemed to dance around Harry before it calmed down.

Thor seemed flabbergasted at Harry's move while Harry just continued to glare at him, "You seem surprised Prince Thor. I know of the worthiness required to lift Mjölnir."

Thor was just stunned while everyone else seemed confused, "What's the big deal? It doesn't seem like it would weigh that much." Tony said.

Harry smirked before he set the hammer back down, "We will go over that later. Right now we need to find Loki before he uses the cask to start a new ice age." Thor slowly approached his hammer and picked it up with uncertainty. When he was still his to lift it he smiled slightly before looking at Harry worriedly, "Don't worry Thor I don't want your hammer."

Fury stepped in, "Our best bet is still finding the Tesseract. He stole it for a reason and I believe it will lead us to him. Stark, go and help Banner track down the Tesseract." Tony grunted as his armor opened in the front allowing him to step out as it folded into a backpack and hung from his back.

Harry grinned, "Nice Tony." Tony just gave him a thumbs up before leaving the deck. Everyone who was watching returned to their stations while Thor tilted his hammer between his hands next to Harry giving him a sad look. "I'm not giving you your hair back until we catch Loki." Harry then strode away to find his favorite agent.

Steve stood there next to Thor, "So Thor was it?"

Thor nodded, "I believe they called you Captain?"

Steve introduced himself, "Steve Rogers, also known as Captain America."

"Ah it is a good title. I am Thor Odinson, Prince of Asgard." Thor introduced himself and shook Steve's hand, "You are mighty for a Midgardian."

Steve could see the difference in skin tone where his hair once was and had to hide his laughter, not wanting to offend Thor, "Thank you Thor."

On the other side of the ship Harry was watching Natasha checking her weapons. His eyes were looking over her semi-new suit. The leather was a dark almost black red that hugged her body perfectly, "You know I can feel your stare." Natasha said when she looked over her shoulder at Summoner. When he just raised an eyebrow she continued, "Like what you see?"

Harry smirked under his cowl, "Always. How's everything working out?"

Natasha spun on her heel and shot out a cable from her wrist mounts before it retracted causing her to fly towards Harry who didn't move. She landed directly in front of him as she detached the cable from the wall and recalled it into her wrist mount. She looked up into his green eyes a scant few inches from him, "It all functions properly." She leaned forward removing most of the space between them, her heat and breath running over his face and body, she then smirked as she bypassed him sashaying her hips, "Keep making me toys like this and I'll give you that date you asked for."

Harry just watched her walk away before shaking his head, "Looks like I need to spend more time in the lab." When he heard chuckling nearby Harry glanced to the area it came from and found Clint leaning against the wall. "What are you laughing at?"

"You two should really just get a room at this point." Clint said in humor, "You've each been dancing around one another for a year now."

"We're busy people." Harry said, when Clint just snorted, Harry smirked, "Want me to turn you purple again?"

Clint just nudged him with an elbow, "Like you would do that again. What happened last time?"

Harry huffed, "You can't use the micro agents like that." Harry whined referencing Clint's kids in code. At that Clint was again chuckling as they both walked off.

Their chuckling was quickly removed when they stepped into a lab where Steve was arguing with Fury about phase 2 while Bruce was just watching and Tony was goading them all into a fight. Harry sighed and gave both Nat and Clint a warning look before he lifted his finger causing a loud bang. "Alright that's enough." Realizing he had said that several times today Harry shook his head, "Why am I the grown-up today?"

Fury glared at him while rubbing his ear and Steve spoke up, "Did you know they're making weapons similar to the ones the Nazis used?"

Harry rolled his eyes, "Steve you can't be that naive right?" When Steve looked offended Harry continued, "They worked on a super soldier serum because Germany did it first. They raced to create weapons of mass destruction. The government is always looking to have a one up on everyone else, that's how they work."

Steve was slightly speechless while Tony just nodded along with the agents, "Summoner is right Captain. I had nothing to do with Phase 2 but I will protect it like I do anything else SHIELD works on." Fury said. He was interrupted from continuing when the console beeped, causing both Bruce and Tony to rush over.

"We have a hit for the Tesseract. It's-" Bruce didn't get to finish as Maria came rushing in.

"Sir it's New York! It's being attacked!" Maria said, quite breathless. Fury just started cursing as Harry eyed everyone else.

"Everyone got their gear?" When everyone nodded and Tony was back in his armor, "Looks like we're going in hot. Fury get me evacuation and rescue personnel, we'll try and stop the attack." Before Fury could respond Harry had already made a portal and led the group through.

On the other side was Tony's new penthouse and from the wall of windows they could see New York being attacked by flying ships and covered in frost. "My god." Bruce said as he approached the window.

Harry wasn't much for standing around, "Tony and Thor get those ships out of the sky and get me information on where they're coming from." Turning to Steve and Natasha, "Captain and Widow, I want you on the ground getting civilians out of the way and taking out ground troops. Clint, get to a nest and give callouts, we can't have this continuing to spread." Finally looking at Bruce, "Hey Hulk! Want to play?"

Bruce quickly turned into his Hulk form and let out a roar before the Hulk let out a chilling smirk, "Hulk want to play." Harry waved his hands vanishing the windows. Hulk let out a roar and leapt from the penthouse. Behind him Thor and Tony both took flight. Harry opened a portal for Natasha and Steve letting them out on the ground floor while Clint walked out on the balcony and shot off an arrow and zipped away.

"Looks like the Avengers might just work out." Harry smirked before he took out a broom and flew out the still open window.
