Y/N's P.O.V

All of us are now back on the helicarrier and Loki is in a prison cell.

We're watching Fury talk with him on the security cameras.

After Fury leaves the camera switches off.

Bruce: He really grows on you doesn't?

I chuckle.

Steve: Loki's gonna drag this out. So, Thor what's his play?

Thor turns to us.

Thor: He has an army call the Chitauri. They're not of Asgard, nor of any world known. He means to lead them against your people, they will win him the earth.

My eyes widen.

Y/N: An army from outer space? Sure, why not?

Logan: Just when I think I've seen it all. Now, we've got aliens.

Y/N: I've fought a giant mutant lizard, nothing surprises me anymore.

Bruce: Loki's building another portal. That's why he needs Erik Slevig.

Thor: Selvig?

Bruce: He's an astrophysicist.

Thor: He's a friend.

Natasha: Loki has him under a spell, along with one of ours.

Y/N: I just don't get why Loki let us take him. He's not leading an army from here.

Bruce: I don't think we should be focusing on that, kid. That guy's brain is a bag full of cats. You could smell crazy on him.

Thor: I care how you speak. Loki is beyond reason, but he is an Asgardian. He is my brother.

Natasha: He killed eighty people in two days.

Thor: He's adopted.

Bruce: I think it's about the mechanics. The Iridium, what do they need that for?

???: It's a stabilising agent.

We see Tony come into the room.

Tony: It means that the portal won't collapse like it did at S.H.I.E.L.D. No hard feelings, Point Break. You've got a mean swing. It means that the portal can stay open as long as Loki wants.

He goes over to Director Fury's position.

Tony: How does Fury even see these?

Maria: He turns.

Tony: That sounds exhausting.

He starts talking about the materials that Agent Barton would need to get to help Loki with his plan.

Steve: Does Loki need any particular power source?

Y/N: He'd have to heat the Cube to one hundred and twenty million Kelvin to break through the Coulomb barrier.

Tony: Unless Selvig has figured out how to stabilise the quantum tunneling effect.

Bruce: Well, if we could do that, he could achieve heavy inon fusion at any reactor on the planet.

Tony: Finally, someone other than the kid who speaks English.

Steve: Is that what just happened?

Tony: It's good to meet you, Dr. Banner. Your work on antielectron collisions is unparalleled. I'm also a fan of how you turn into a huge green rage monster.

Bruce: Thanks.

We see Fury come in.

Nick Fury: Dr. Banner is here to track the Tesseract. I was hoping you'd join him and Parker.

Steve: I'd start with that stick of his. It maybe magical, but it works a bit like a HYDRA weapon.

Nick Fury: I don't know about that, but it is powered by the Cube. And I'd like to know how he used to two of the sharpest men I know into his personal flying monkeys.

Thor and I look at Fury.

Thor: Monkeys? I don't understand.

Y/N: Yeah, me neither.

Steve: I do.

Cap look at us.

Steve: I understood that reference.

I look at him.

Y/N: Damn, you're old.

Tony laughs.

Tony: Good one, kid.

I stand up.

Y/N: Let's get to the lab. I need to fix my web shooters, anyway.

Tony: Alright.

He looks to Bruce.

Tony: Shall we Doctor?

Dr. Banner leads Tony and I out of the room and to his lab.

(One hour later)

After cleaning myself up, I join Tony and Bruce in the lab.

We're still searching for the Tesseract.

Banner and I are scanning the Scepter right now.

Y/N: The Gamma readings are definitely consistent with Selvig's reports of the Tesseract.

Bruce: Yes, they are. But it's going to take weeks to process.

Tony: If we bypass their mainframe and direct Homer cluster we can clock this at around six hundred teraflops.

Bruce: And all I packed was a toothbrush.

Tony comes over.

Tony: You know, you should come by Stark Tower sometime. Top ten floors, all R&D. You'd love it. It's Candy Land.

Y/N: He's right. I've seen it. It's so cool.

Bruce: Thanks, but the last time I was in New York, I kinda broke.... Harlem.

Y/N: I remember seeing that on the news.

Tony: Well, I promise a stress-free environment. No tension, no surprises.

Just then Stark jabs Banner in the side.

Bruce: Oww.

???: Hey!

Tony: Nothing.

I turn to see Cap coming into the lab.

Steve: Are you nuts?

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

Steve: Is everything a joke to you?

Tony: Funny things are.

Steve: Threating the safety of everyone on this ship isn't funny. No offence, Doc.

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

Tony: You keep tiptoeing, big man. You need to strut.

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

Tony: You think I'm not? Why did Fury call us in now? Why not before? What isn't he telling us?

Y/N: Yeah, He's definitely hiding something. I may be a kid and all, but I'm not stupid.

Tony: Well, I can't do the equation unless I have all the variables.

Steve: You think Fury's hiding something?

Y/N: Captain, Fury's a spy. He's "the" spy. His secrets have secrets. I know that because my parents used to work for him.

Tony: Very true.

He looks to Banner.

Tony: It's bugging him too.

Bruce: I just wanna get on with my work here...

Steve: Doctor?

Banner sighs and takes his glasses off.

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

Steve: I heard it.

Banner believes the jab was towards Tony about Stark Tower.

Tony: I'm the only name in clean energy right now. That's what he's getting at.

Bruce: So, why didn't S.H.I.E.L.D bring him in on the Tesseract project? What are they doing in the clean energy business in the first place?

That's when Tony reveals that he's hacking into all of S.H.I.E.L.D's secure files.

Y/N: Come on, Captain. You can't say none of this doesn't sound off to you.

He sighs.

Steve: Just find the Cube.

Cap leaves the room.

We continue looking for the Cube and I continue fixing my web shooters.
