2 Interlude Director Fury
"Are you telling me Loki was here and he took her?" Director Fury asked.
Rogers and Stark sat in front of him. They both looked like they had something against him, but he didn't care.
It was shit. They had failed to get the information out of Sylvie, and now Loki took her, despite Thor's assurances that no one would pick up his hammer. The only alien who cared about Earth was Carol! And she wasn't here! Still! He called several times! What was she doing? She dropped by in a black hole or what? Loki is free, does somehow to plan become to the king, and still had a tesseract. The scepter was safe so far. Director Fury took it from the Strike team an hour ago. Loki has already broken into the Shield base once. Therefore, the scepter had to be held near the Banner. And now he found out that Loki broke in here too. Was there no safe place in front of Loki?
"Yes, he was and he took her. He even carried her quite tenderly in his arms," smiled Stark.
"Stark," Rogers sighed.
"Well, what? I saw it with my own eyes! Thor can testify," Stark shouted.
"Thor was there?" Director Fury asked.
"Well, he had a bit of a political-family discussion with his brother," Stark replied.
"I understand the family part and the political part?" Director Fury asked.
"Well, Cyclops. The Tesseract belongs to Odin, the All-Daddy. And foolish mortals put their fingers on it, and Loki is the prince of Asgard. Is not it obvious? Loki had the right to destroy your base and take the Tesseract. Well, even Thor admitted after some persuasion that the most common Odin's response to an insult is war unless he has clear plans for peace. I don't know what Point Break meant by that myself. Maybe we should be glad Loki wag the war on us. He is crazy and chaotic. I don't think we would stand a chance against Odin, "Stark said.
"Political shit," Director Fury sighed.
"You should have left the cube in the ocean," said Rogers.
Maybe he was right. Loki would teleport to the ocean and hopefully would drown himself. Natasha and Thor entered the room. She looked very agitated. Director Fury did not remember her ever looking like this. Her mask was destroyed. There was a pure rage in her eyes. Agent Romanoff, best at hiding feelings and manipulating looked like any, angry woman. What would upset her so much?
"Repeat what you told me, Thor," Natasha hissed.
"Lady Widow, I ..." Thor tried to explain.
"Say it!" she screamed.
"Loki is a Master of Magic, trained by our mother," said Thor.
"And?" added Natasha.
"And my mother is the only one. The other witches were killed by an unknown creature," said Thor.
Stark started laughing. Rogers looked terrified
"Are you telling me we're facing a Master of Magic with magic that nobody knows but your mother?" Director Fury asked.
"Yes, it is," replied Thor.
"You're an imbecile. I'm not surprised Loki is denying the relationship between you. If I were him, I would, too," Fury said.
"I am the First Prince of Asgard and Loki is my brother," said Thor.
Stark laughed harder.
In addition, Hill ran into the room with the tablet. Readings were similar to a tesseract on Earth. In every fucking place! There was not a scrap of air without them. All the Earth was consumed by it! And twice! Director Fury began to consider giving up. Kneeling, splendor, and building many monuments of Loki. It might have been a small price to pay if the security of the Earth was at stake.
"Why didn't Asgard send your mother?" Director Fury asked.
"Mother never leaves Asgard. She also very rarely leaves the palace," said Thor.
"Never?" Rogers was surprised.
"Never, father wants her to be safe," Thor replied.
Beautiful. The only person who could help them can't come. Well, maybe Loki will be a smaller asshole than the World Security Council.
