Alexander's Pov

It's been an hour since I helped Tony and Bruce on to find the tesseract. As I'm looking at something on a table I noticed that Tony was trying to get the hulk out.

???: Hey!

Tony: Nothing??

We then saw Peggy walks into the room.

Peggy: Are you nuts?

Tony: Jury's out. You really have a lid on it haven't you? What's your secret? Mellow Jazz, bongo drums, huge bag of weed?

Peggy: Is everything a joke to you?

Tony: Funny things are.

Peggy: Threatening the safety of everyone on this ship isn't funny. *looks at Bruce* No offense doctor.

Bruce: It's all right, I wouldn't have come aboard if I couldn't handle pointy things.

Tony: Your tip-toeing, you need to strut.

Peggy: And you need to focus on the problem, Mr. Stark.

Tony: Don't you think I'm not? Why did Fury called us in? Why now? Why not before? What isn't he telling us? I can't do the equation unless I have all the variables.

Peggy: You think Fury's hiding something?

Tony: He's a spy. Captain he's 'the' spy. His secret have secrets. It's bugging them too. Isn't it. *stuff his mouth with blueberries*

Bruce: Uh....I just want to finish my work here and..

Alexander: Uhhh....

Peggy: Doctor. Axe.

Bruce: "A warm light to all mankind." Loki's jab at Fury about the cube.

Peggy: I heard that.

Alexander: *points at Tony* I think it was meant for you Stark.

Bruce: Even if Barton didn't tell Loki about the tower, it was still all over the news.

Peggy: The Stark Tower? That big, ugly..*looks at Tony and sighed a bit* Building in New York?

Bruce: It's powered by an arc reactor, a self sustaining energy source. That building will run itself for, what, like a year? *looks at Tony*

Tony: It's just a protype. I'm kind of the only one name in clean energy right now. That's what he's getting at.

Alexander: Wait so why didn't S.H.I.E.L.D. bring him in on the tesseract project? What are they doing in the energy business in the damn first place?

Tony: I should probably look into that once my decryption program finishes breaking into all of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s secure files.

Peggy: I'm sorry. Did you say..

Tony: Jarvis has been running it since I hit the bridge. In a few hours, I'll know every dirty secret S.H.I.E.LD. had ever tried to hide. Blueberry?

Peggy: Yet your confused about why they didn't want you around.

Alexander: So an intelligence organization that fears intelligence? Historically, not good at all.

Peggy: I think Loki's trying to wind us up. This is a man who means to start a war, and if we don't stay focused, he'll succeed. We have orders, we should follow them.

Tony: Following's not really my style.

Peggy: And you're all about style, aren't you.

As they was arguing for about couple of minutes until Peggy left the room. I just sighed and went back to work with Stark and Bruce.

3rd Pov

Natasha have decided to have a little chat with Loki and went to where he was.

Loki: There's not many who can sneak up on me. *turns and face her*

Natasha: But you figured I'd come.

Loki: After......after whatever tortures, Fury can concoct. You would appear as a friend as a bomb and I would cooperate.

Natasha: I want to know what you've done to agent Barton.

Loki: I'd say I've expanded his mind.

Natasha: *started walking closer to his cell* Once you've won, once you're king of the mountains, what happens to his mind?

Loki: *smiles* There's this love agent Romanoff?

Natasha: Love is for children, I owe him a debt.

Loki: Tell me. *sits down*

Natasha: Before I worked for S.H.I.E.L.D. I well..I made a name for myself. I have a very specific skills set; I didn't care who I used it for or on. I got on S.H.I.E.L.D.'s radar in a bad way. Agent Barton was sent to kill me, he made a different call.

Loki: And what will you do if I vow to spare him?

Natasha: Not let you out.

Loki: No, but I like this. Your world hanging in the balance, and you bargain me for one man.

Natasha: Regimes fall everyday. I tend to not to weep over that. I'm Russian, or at least I was.

Loki: And what are you now?

Natasha: It's really not that complicated. I got red in my ledger I'd like to wipe it out.

Loki: Can you? Can you wipe out that much red? Drevykov's daughter South Paulo, the hospital fire? Barton told me everything. *gets up* Your ledger is dripping, it's gushing red and you think saving a man no more virtuous than yourself will change anything? This is basest sentimentality. This is a child of prayer. Pathetic!!  You lie and kill in the service of liars and killers . You pretend to be separate, to have your own code something that makes up for the horrors but they are apart of you. And they will never go away.

As Loki was saying that Tony, Bruce, and Alexander was still trying to hack into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s network but failing as Hill told Fury that there was a virus on one of the agent's computer. Peggy opened a crate to see weapons that have an HDYRA logo on them. Soon Loki hit the glass with his fist.

Loki: I won't touch Barton, not until I make him kill you. Slowly, intimately, in every way he knows you fear, and then he'll wake long enough to see his good work. And when he screams I'll split his skull open. This is my bargain, you mewling quim.

Natasha: You're a monster.

Loki: *chuckles* On no, you brought the monsters.

Natasha: *looks at him* So, Banner and Axe, that's your play?

Loki: What?

Natasha: *walking to the land* Loki mean to unleash the Hulk and piss off Shadow-Spider. Keep Banner and Axe in the lab. I'm on my way, send Thor as well. *looks at Loki* Thank you for your cooperation. *started heading towards the lab*
