I step into the room.

"Hello, Mr President," I said but stop seeing who the president is once entering the room.

Doctor Henry Morgan.

"Hello, Loki," Henry said, with a smile and his hands together. "Nice to see you around again."

The door shuts behind me.

"You?" I said. "You are the president?"

"Fair and square election," Piped up a young African American woman.

"That is Miss C, my advisor," Henry said.

I rub my chin.

"Do they know what your curse is?" I ask.

"They are full aware," Henry said. "And I want to be aware what plans you have in mind to apprehend Tonya Stark."

I came to the table.

"First," I said. "You tell me how she got her hands on the scepter and where you have hidden it for two thousand years."

"It was locked in Area 51," Henry said. "We do not know how she got her hands on the scepter," I sat down on the table halfway. "Loki," Henry sends me a glare. "Off the table, you are not a child."

"I am not only the god of mischief," I said. "You are lying to me and I am not getting off until you tell me what in the name of Hel is going on!"

Henry leans back into the chair.

"Tonya Stark recently got toe-to-toe with a HYDRA agent," Henry said. "We lost her."

"What do you mean by 'we lost her'?" I ask.

"They mind wiped her," Henry said.

I rub my forehead.

"Not...that...again." I said.

"Huh?" Henry said.

"They did that to Bucky," I said.

"I never heard of the name 'Bucky'," Miss C said.

I turn my head towards Miss C.

"Bucky was Steve's best friend and taken by HYDRA after he fell off a moving train," I said. "Put on ice for years inbetween high profiled assassinations can do a lot to a mortal." I had a slight pause. "How long has Tonya been gone?"

"...5 years," Henry said.

"And I hear she has a invasion planed," I said. "Five years." I held up my fingers getting off the table. "And you act like she JUST left the Avengers! Where in the name of Helheim can she lunch an invasion from the middle realm of mortals."

"She took Smith last week including a recently recovered infinity gem," Henry said. "A fellow by the name Peter Quill handed it to us a thousand years ago in exchange we never show it..."

"Except you took it out and showed it around ONE THOUSAND YEARS LATER," I said. "How and why did you lose Tonya? She cannot have just been 'lost' by fighting a HYDRA agent and then mind-wiped."

"We were attempting to make a portal to another world," Henry said. "With the scepter."

I stare at Henry.

"The scepter can manipulate minds," I said. "Not time and space."

"But it worked," Henry said. "And this HYDRA Agent had been undercover in SHIELD and is now cooperating with us."

"And who may that be?" I ask.

"George Winter," Henry said. "She went into a new world where HYDRA had made itself known and very wide spread; they want to come down to Earth and they are willing to start a war over it." Henry shook his index finger. "That's the war of Earth. A war your brother unleashed two thousand years ago."

I glare at Henry.

"If she landed in another world," I said. "With the scepter; she is not the Tonya Stark you knew."

"Of course she is," Henry said. "She needs some help before hell breaks loose."

I sigh turning away from the table shaking my head.

"Doctor Morgan," I said. "She is a puppet to the scepter and it is controlling Tonya. Her deepest desires are being amplified. I know for a fact what it can do."

"Because you were there," Henry said.

"I was," I said. "And I nearly lost Thor over it. Now when Earth is in it's most...devastating state, who comes to avenge it?"

"Uh..." Most of the people act clueless.

I look around.

"The Avengers," I said. "That is what they are here for!" I shook my balled hand. "You have forgotten they are not just campaigning for public approval." I back away. "If I fail at the least getting Tonya; perhaps you will learn a thing or two why the Avengers are needed."

"To save lives," Miss C said. "That is why they are needed."

"Part yes and part no," I said,recalling what Tony Stark told me in the living room during the attack on New York. "You have sadly forgotten."

I walk out of the room.

Miss C reminds me of someone even with her teenage dark features and curly hair I cannot exactly pin-point it.

"Honey?" I hear Knight. "What is it?"

"That book is a load of political garbage," I said as Knight came by in the hallway. "The Avengers are goofs of politics now days."

"What?" Knight said, surprised.

"You heard me," I said. "I read the book. They are..." I shook my head. "They use the Avengers as police."

"...How did we not know of this?" Knight asks, dismayed.

"Some other forces took care of their mess," I said. I halt. "Knight, promise me you are not going to after Tonya when we fail getting her."

"I promise not to go after Tonya," Knight said, crossing her heart. "Now...how do we get a girl like her to come willingly to us?"

"Your favorite snack," I said. "We are using the strawberry stand."

Knight's eyes brighten.

"I love strawberries!" Knight said, gleefully.

"Then you will love the costume I have in mind," I said.

Knight takes out the list as we continue walking down the hall.

"Dress up as favorite snack, soon to be checked," Knight said. "And oh, with some lousy singing mixed in with neat music."

Why I left Henry Morgan without any information about how we are getting Tonya Stark.
