The Threat Within

Soon the jet arrived, a small group of Shield agents arrived and escorted Loki away, Harry turned to the others after they had all exited the jet. He noticed Thor was looking around curiously, while Stark was unimpressed, or at least acting unimpressed.

"Oi Nat," Harry grabbed Nat by the arm and whispered into her ear. "I'm going to go check on Padfoot, I'll be back in a minute." He said.

"Okay," Natasha nodded. "try and be quick though." She added.

"I'll try." Harry nodded before he teleported back home. Once Harry had arrived back home Padfoot quickly ran towards him. "Hey boy," Harry said as he kneeled down and hugged his furry friend. "you alright?"

"Woo, woof woof. Woof!" Padfoot barked. Harry was about to respond when suddenly he heard loud knocking from the door.

"Mr Potter!" Came the voice of his landlady. "I know you are in there, what is this nonsense I am hearing on the news about you being some sort of vigilante?!"

"Today's going to be a long day." Harry sighed, Padfoot gave him a sympathetic bark.

...

"In case it's unclear" Fury said to Loki after his agents had secured him in a glass cage. "if you try to escape, if you so much as scratch that glass..." Fury pressed a button and the floor beneath the cage opened, allowing a lot of air to come in, Loki could feel the threatening and deafening wind enter the room. "thirty thousand feet," Fury said, bringing Loki's attention back to him. "straight down, in a steel trap." He added as he pressed another button and closed the floor. "You get how that works? Ant..." Fury gestured to Loki, then to the controls for the cage. "boot." He said, remembering how Loki had called called him an ant when they had first met.

"It's an impressive cage," Loki smiled at Fury. "but I do not think that it was built for me, unless your architects are faster than I had originally thought."

"This was built for something a whole lot stronger than you." Fury replied, looking almost offended that Loki was still smiling.

"Oh I've heard," Loki glanced towards the security cameras in the room. "a mindless beast, makes play he's still a man." Loki smirked before looking back towards Fury. "Then we have the Iron Man, the man with a suit. Then there's your redheaded seductress, your soldier in the wrong time and that wizard. How desperate are you? You call on such lost creatures to defend you?"

"How desperate am I?" Fury took a few steps forward "You threaten my world with war, you steal a force you can't control, you talk about peace but you kill because it's fun. You have made me very desperate."

"Kill because it's fun?" Loki grinned. "Oh no, I think you have me confused with your walking, talking, magical gun. You've seen how much destruction he causes, how many people he can kill in a single evening, he's killed more in one evening than I have in the limited time I have been here. He's a mad dog on a leash, how long do you think it will take before he turns on you?"

"I have faith that he won't." Fury responded. "Besides, as of the moment, I am not the one who has to worry about him, I see that your still twitching." Fury smirked when he saw Loki twitch.

"When I escape from here, I will kill him and you!" Loki growled.

"You think you can escape here?" Fury asked, raising an eyebrow.

"You think I won't?" Loki looked at him. "I am superior to you and all of the filthy mortals on this ship, you have already lost the tesseract to me. And I know that you hate that, it burns you to come so close, to have the tesseract, to have power, unlimited power. And for what? A warm light for all mankind to share? And then to be reminded what real power is."

"Well, let me know if real power wants a magazine or something." Fury rolled his eye as he walked off, he was acting unbothered, when in truth he was thinking on Loki's words, replaying them each in his head.
