“Loki!” Thor Odinson rushes into the living room of Stark Tower. Loki is currently lounging on the couch, reading Shakespeare.

Looking up, Thor’s adopted younger brother groans. Marking his place, he closes his book and turns to face the god of thunder. “What is it, Thor?”

“I’ve come to shake your hand, brother. Aren’t you pleased that you are finally a member of the Avengers?”

Rolling his eyes, the mischief-maker sarcastically responds, “Oh, I’m sorry. Were you hoping that I would be bouncing off the walls of this tower with joy?”

Thor laughs. “Come now, Loki. It wouldn’t kill you to at least smile.”

Loki Laufeyson just keeps looking at his brother with a stoic expression on his face.

Thor, ignoring his brother’s indifference, keeps rambling on. “Can you fathom the fact, that just seven months ago, our companions were so reluctant to let you stay in the tower? Yet now, we have banded together in brotherhood! Well… and then there’s Lady Natasha.”

Loki frowns. “Yes. I recall Lady Natasha throwing a cell phone at me when we first arrived…”

Thor chuckles. “Well, you have to admit Loki, it was fairly amusing.”

Overhearing the conversation, Tony Stark walks into the room. “Not really amusing at all. That was my phone, actually. My brand new phone. Not cool. J.A.R.V.I.S. just finished loading all my contacts. Do you know how many contacts I have?”

Smiling, Thor yells, “Ah! Hello, Man of Iron!”

Flinching, Tony covers his ears. “Hey, Point Break. What happened to, ‘using our indoor voices?’”

The god of thunder frowns. “My ‘voice of indoors’ still eludes me.”

Loki face palmed. “You idiot. That’s not…” He sighed. “Never mind…”

Suddenly, Steve Rogers walks into the room, fiddling with an iPad. “Excuse me. Can you guys help me with this pad thing? I’m still not sure how some of this new technology works. And what time does our meeting begin? Maybe someone can help me while we wait.”

Tony smirks. “Aww~ Does Capsicle need help?”

Steve gives Tony an impatient glare.

Looking up, Tony notices Bruce Banner, joining them with a large cup of coffee in hand. “Hey there, Big Guy! How’s my science bro doing?”

Sighing, the scientist rubs his eyes with his free hand. “Not now, Tony. I just woke up…”

The billionaire playboy puts his hands up in the air in mock surrender. “Okay, okay.”

Loki sighs and speaks up. “Can I please return to reading my book in peace?”

Turning to face the trickster with a smirk, Tony responds “Nope! Sorry, Reindeer Games.”

The god of mischief glares at Tony for using that nickname, which he hated.

Steve, still struggling with the iPad, turns to face Bruce. “Doctor Banner? Do you know how to work this thing? I would be really grateful if you could help me.”

Nodding, Bruce takes the iPad and sits down on the second couch with Steve, showing him the basics on how to use it.

Moments later, Clint Barton walks in with Natasha Romanoff.

Loki tosses his book to the floor in frustration. “Is this parade about over? All I wanted to do was read in peace…”

Ignoring Loki, Thor turns to greet them with a grin. “Greetings Lady Natasha and Agent Barton!”

Tony laughs. “Agent Romanoff, a lady? Ha!”

Clint turns to glare at Tony. “Can it, Stark.”

Tony frowns. “Aw, c’mon! Even Banner agrees with me!” He turned his head to face his fellow scientist. “Right, Bruce?”

Everyone looks expectantly at Bruce, waiting for his reply.

Looking up from the iPad in his hands, Bruce says, “No comment.”

Thor, clearing his throat, speaks up. “Let the meeting commence! There is word from Heimdall on Asgard of a gifted young woman here on Midgard that may be a threat if she is not found and brought under our protection.”

Clint frowns a little. “Well, what’s so special about her?”

“It is said that she has power over water, fire, and electricity. Our enemies are always searching for ways to reign supreme over all the Nine Realms. I think it is best if we find her first.”

Steve raises an eyebrow. “Do your enemies know about her? Does S.H.I.E.L.D. know about this?”

Thor shakes his head. “Nay. I wished to speak with you, my brothers, before alerting S.H.I.E.L.D. of her existence. As far as our enemies go, it may be best to assume that they do.”

Loki, forgetting about his book, looks up at his brother. “Does Heimdall know where this woman can be found?”

Nodding, Thor replies, “Yes. He saw her alone in a forest that is just north of New York City, not far from here.”

Smirking, Tony says, “Well everyone, looks like we’re going hiking!”
