"It's ok." She was jolted back to reality as the blonde man's concerned face came into her line of vision.
"Ok?" she took a deep breath as she shot him a look and pointed sharply at the scene before her. "That. Was Not. Ok. I practically murdered my team mate."
"That was not your fault. That was all Loki." he said as he stepped forward as she started to sink down.
"It was my body." meant to come out as a snarl but ended up more of a whimper.
"I understand." the man said eyes not wavering. "Nether less it was out of your control. You need a clear head to form a way out of this dump." he said offering his hand toward her.
"A way out?" she asked as she gently took his hand and lifted herself up. "I thought I was stuck."
"What symbol of America would we be if we couldn't stop something that banned freedom."
he joked, a soft smile gracing his face.
"What kind of symbol indeed"
"Alright Agent what's the issue?"
"We need to get rid of the debris in the left quadrant. Remove the damaged blades. And we'll need to kick start the blades somehow."
"All this 'We' you're talking about is all me isn't it."
"Exactly."
"And here I thought we were finally getting along." Tony said dramatically as he held his hand to his chest.
"Very funny Stark."
"You're no fun. I have no clue what Pepper sees in you."
Coulson lets out a small chuckle as he shoots a goon in the head. "Your guess is as good as mine. Get to work Stark."
"Yeah yeah I'm on it. Don't forget the lever."
"Don't tempt me."
"Ooo that's cold. Even for you."
"Stark."
"Fine fine."
He slowly began to remove the damaged blades.
"How's is everyone Nick." Coulson called in through his ear piece.
"Romanoff is going after Barton and Banner had been taken care of."
"How are Shakespeare and Capsical?" Tony's voice rang out.
"Their status is unknown. I'll send a team over once we remove the rest of Loki's men."
"Nice job out there Tony." Phil said as he patted off imaginary dust off his suit.
"Thank You Agent. I never thought I'd here the day you'd say that to me." Tony said as he removed the suit.
"Don't ruin the moment Stark"
"And we're back to last names."
Phil ignored him and pressed his radio.
"Stark and I are back. How are Thor and Stephanie?"
"Stephanie? She lets you call her Stephanie!? She calls me Tony or Stark and I don't throw a fit. But if I call her Steph I get told to shut up or I get the 'Captains glare'." Tony said throwing up his hands. Looking like a small child who didn't get his favorite candy at the store.
"And you should listen to the advise," Phil shot back with a glare before turning back to the call.
"That frosty attitude doesn't suit you Agent."
"Stephanie has been compromised." Fury's voice called out of the radio attached on Phil's hip.
There was a pause as Tony and Phil slowly looked at one another.
"What!?
"So any ideas on how to get out of this?" Stephanie asked as she starred at the handsome blond in front of her.
He pursed his lips and shook his head, "No"
"Obviously forced doesn't work." Stephanie said touching the wall.
Steve opened his mouth to speak but suddenly Loki appeared on the wall.

"Oh captain, you understand that this is completely necessary don't you?"
"Of course." Her voice sounded off, emotionless.
"This isn't as fun as when you are spunky."
"I apologize."
"While I do enjoy your obedience I'm finding you rather dull now."
"That wasn't my fault was it" Stephanie spat under her breath as she clenched a fist. Who was he thinking he could keep her as his pet? She's been there once and refuses to become someone else's dancing monkey.
"That wasn't my fault was it."
Stephanie and Steve both stopped and starred at the screen before slowly looking at each other owlishly. Both silently saying 'Did you just...'
Loki's smile dropped as his eyebrows furrowed and turned his attention onto her prone form. "What? What did you just say?"
"Nothing sir."
Loki looked at her with a sullen face. "It seems the spell needs to be readjusted."
"It seems so sir."
Loki continued to look at her with the sullen face before turning toward the pilot. ''How far are we from our destination.''
''We just made it sir.''
''Starks is going to hate this.'' Stephanie said as they both watched as the familiar, ugly building was quickly approaching.
