They located Loki.

        He was in Germany and causing a big scene as he made the crowd kneel. Steve had jumped down from the quinjet and Bucky looked down at the height with a sigh. She placed a hand on his arm, "Are you okay?"

           "Yeah," he said weakly as he looked down. He wasn't really a fan of heights anymore. Then he looked at her. "Come on."

             He pulled her to him and she clung to him with her arms around his neck. He held her a bit off the ground so her feet didn't touch. Then he jumped from the back of the plane. They fell about a hundred feet before Bucky landed on his feet in the middle of the running crowd.

             He set her down and she let go of him before they both took off through the crowd. They ran to help Steve but Bucky was quicker than she was. When she got there, Loki was fighting both of the super soldiers expertly before he grabbed Steve and threw him. Then he whacked Bucky with the scepter hard which sent him flying.

            She ran forward and Loki rose the scepter up to drive towards her. But she brought her hands up and she controlled the air around it, making it stop in the air.

             Then she jutted her hands out and the wind sent him flying backwards to land on his back. She walked towards him. Loki sneered as he took the scepter and knocked it across her ankles, tripping her.

             She fell backwards with a squeak from the force of it as Loki quickly got up. He raised her chin with the scepter, "You will be particularly useful, mortal."

              He brought the scepter towards her heart as the two super soldiers got up and started to run forward. But then...AC/DC started playing.

              She looked towards the skies as Loki was suddenly blasted back. Tony landed in his Iron Man suit next to her and all his weapons came out as a warning towards Loki, "Make your move, Reindeer Games."

       The God raised his hands in surrender and his outfit suddenly changed to a less foreboding one. Tony had all his weapons go back into the suit, "Good move."

        "Mr. Stark," Steve greeted as he breathed heavily.

       "Captain."

        Bucky helped her up as he gave her a hand, "You good, butterfly?"

        "Yeah," she smiled a bit.

         Tony then looked at her after he took off his face mask and Steve along with Bucky went to take Loki into custody, "Why did you go easy on Reindeer Games over here?"

          "Excuse me if I'm rusty," she crossed her arms and then he took in her outfit.

        "What are you wearing?" his eyes raked over her which caused her to blush. "And can you wear it at home?"

           "Maybe," she bit her lip.

"Are you still maybe on the other thing?" he asked as they walked into the quinjet.

"What other thing?" Bucky questioned after Loki was secure.

She gave him a look for eavesdropping and he looked down, "Sorry."

"And yes it's still a maybe," she told Tony shyly.

"I don't get points for swooping in at the right time?" he asked hopefully as he stared at her like a puppy.

It was so hard to ignore that look as he looked at her so cutely and eagerly. Her heart squeezed as she smiled, "Well, now I'm leaning more towards the yes side."

"Yeah?" he smiled.

"Yeah," she gave him a toothed smile.

Bucky and Steve both shared a look with each other before looking back at the couple that was completely consumed by the other. So much so that they couldn't even focus on the villain they just caught.

Eira was now separated from Tony. She was now sitting across from Loki, watching him, while Tony was with Bucky and Steve towards the cockpit.

"I don't like it," Steve spoke quietly to Tony and Bucky.

"What, Rock of Ages giving up so easily?"

"I don't remember it being that easy. This guy packs a wallop."

"Yeah, he does," Bucky frowned.

"Still, you two are still pretty spry for older fellows. What do you guys do? Pilates?"

"What's Pilates?" Bucky asked as he and Steve both stared at him blankly.

"It's like calisthenics. You both missed a couple of things doing time as popsicles."

"Fury didn't tell me he was calling you in," Steve said with a tone of aggravation.

"Yeah, there's a lot of things Fury doesn't tell you."

Suddenly, dark clouds formed around them in the night sky. Lightning even rained down before they heard a loud crack of thunder.

"Eira," Nat called. "The weather."

Eira looked up towards the ceiling of the quinjet as she tried to focus on the storm. Although, once she did, she was met with resistance as she attempted to control it. Loki studied her curiously.

"It's definitely not a normal storm," Eira explained.

"Well that sounds great," Bucky muttered.

But Loki looked worried and Steve commented, "What's the matter? Are you scared of a little lightning?"

"I'm not overly fond of what follows."

Then a loud thump was heard from on top of the quinjet. Then Tony opened the hatch to the back of the plane idiotically after he put his face mask back on.

"What are you doing?" she said worriedly as she stood up.

A tall, buff man with long blonde hair entered the plane. When Tony went to attack him, the man knocked him back into the super soldiers...with a hammer.

She looked at the scene with wide eyes before looking back at the very tall man. He considered for a moment as he looked down at her before he simply grabbed her by her shoulders and moved her out of the way gently, "I do not wish to hurt you, pretty mortal."

Then he grabbed Loki and flew out of the plane.

"You couldn't have done...anything?" Tony complained as the guys all got up.

"He was very tall..and intimidating," she defended.

"Another Asgardian?" Nat said over the roar of the thunder.

"I'm not liking Asgardians," Bucky muttered.

"That guy's a friendly?" Steve questioned.

"Doesn't matter," Tony said as he went towards the open back of the plane. "If he frees Loki or kills him, the Tesseract's lost."

"Stark, we need a plan of attack!"

"I have a plan. Attack."

"Tony, don't do anything..." she called as he flew away. "Stupid."

"You're dating that guy?" Steve asked in disbelief.

She furrowed her eyebrows before she turned to Steve with a glare. Bucky was shaking his head frantically from behind her as he mouthed, Idiot.

"Just because someone is rough around the edges doesn't mean they're a bad person," she defended.

Steve looked down from her glare, "Yes, ma'am."

Steve then went to get a parachute to go after them and Nat advised, "I'd sit this one out, Cap."

"Yeah," Bucky agreed. "That sounds smart. Let's do that."

Steve sighed, "I don't see how I can."

"These guys come from legend. They're basically gods," Nat said.

"There's only one God, ma'am. And I'm pretty sure he doesn't dress like that," Steve said before he jumped out of the airplane.

Bucky shook his head, "He really took all the stupid with him."

Then he grabbed a parachute to go after Steve and her eyes widened, "Now you're going?"

"Someone's got to look after the idiot," Bucky said before holding out his hand. "You coming?"

She groaned before she grabbed his hand. And Bucky jumped out of the plane while she clung to him.

"Do not touch me again," Thor warned after Tony had crashed into him on the cliffside.

"Then don't touch my Snowflake..."

Then they inevitably ended up fighting. Eira had decided that she would go to apprehend Loki since apparently fighting was more important than the person trying to take over the world.

She climbed the cliffside with a huff before she reached Loki. She quickly made vines grow and wrap around his wrists like handcuffs which made him sulk. She looked at the fighting below once he was tied up and she shook her head, "Idiots."

Then she sat down next to Loki as they both watched it all. She considered him for a moment before she asked curiously, "So what were you the God of?"

"Mischief and Lies."

"Mischief," she smiled. "So does that make you the funnest God?"

Loki furrowed his eyebrows before he analyzed her. He wondered what game she was playing at but Eira was just curious.

"Not many on my world would think so."

"So you lived on another planet? Was it like covered in gold?"

"It's called Asgard and...yes."

"Wow," she smiled in wonder. "It must've been really pretty."

"It is," he said sadly before he looked at her curiously. "With your gifts, human, you could've conquered the world already. Why haven't you?"

"I don't want to conquer anything, silly."

He squinted his eyes at her as if he didn't understand, "You are strange for a human."

"How is not wanting to conquer something strange?"

"Everyone wants power," Loki said before he smirked slightly. "Perhaps, when I win the Earth, I will build a golden palace and show you what it's like."

She blushed, "You know if you weren't trying to decimate the Earth that might actually be sweet."

"I am not sweet," he frowned and he glowered at her before he softened a bit. "Although, you seem to be."

"Alright. Stop it, mischief," she blushed a bit more. "I have a boyfriend but possibly a fiancée..."

Her eyes widened, "Oh my god. I did not just tell you that."

She looked at him with a hard stare as she attempted to threaten, "You tell anyone and I'll...I'll warp you into a flower petal."

He smiled in amusement, "Mortal, your secrets are of no concern to me."

"Good...I guess," she eyed him carefully as the boys finally stopped fighting and made it up the cliffside.

Thor saw them and he immediately grew suspicious, "Loki, what are you doing?"

Thor warned her carefully as he grabbed his brother and pulled him to his feet, "He will try to poison your mind, pretty mortal."

"You really need to stop calling her that," Tony grumbled as he joined them.

"But it is true," Thor said in confusion.

She blushed a deep red and she had to put her hands over cheeks to hide it. Tony eyed her, "Do you have to blush?"

"I can't help it...."
