Pilot: "We're about forty minutes out from home base, sir."

Steve Rogers and Y/N L/N sat on a jet as they read some files about the Tesseract and the other members of the team, Coulson sat across from them, he typed on a control panel before he stood up and turned around to the two of them. 

Rogers: "So, this Dr. Banner was trying to replicate the serum they used on me?" 

Coulson: "A lot of people were. You were the world's first superhero. Banner thought gamma radiation might hold the key to unlocking Erskine's original formula." 

Rogers: "Didn't really go his way, did it?" 

Coulson: "Not so much. When he's not that thing, though, the guy's like a Stephen Hawking." 

Steve looked up at Coulson confused. 

Coulson: "... He's like a smart person." 

Steve turned towards Y/N who had been sitting there quietly as he kept reading the files. 

Rogers: "There's barely any information in here about you, other than the fact you have ice powers." 

Y/N: "I wish I could tell you but I don't know anything either."

Y/N then looked back down at the files and continued reading the files. Coulson took this as his opportunity to talk to the World War Two hero. 

Coulson: "I gotta say, it's an honour to meet you officially. I've sort of met you. I mean, I watched you while you were sleeping." 

Steve grew an uncomfortable look on his face and looked away from Coulson. Y/N heard this and chuckled a little at the interaction. 

Coulson: "I mean, I was present while you were unconscious from the ice."

While Coulson spoke, Steve stood up and moved towards the front of the jet, Coulson followed after him. 

Coulson: "You know, it's really just a huge honour to have you on board this..."

Rogers: "I hope I'm the man for the job." 

Coulson: "Oh, you are. Absolutely. We made some modifications to the uniform. I had a little design input." 

Rogers: "The uniform? Aren't the stars and stripes a little old-fashioned?"  

Coulson: "With everything that's happening, and the things that are about to come to light, people might just need a little old-fashioned."

The jet landed on the helicarrier, Y/N, Coulson and Rogers walked out. They were greeted by Natasha Romanoff.

Coulson: "Agent Romanoff, Captain Rogers." 

Rogers: "Ma'am." 

Nat: "Hi." (to Coulson) "They need you on the bridge. They're starting the face-trace." 

Coulson: "See you there." 

Coulson headed off towards the bridge. Y/N, Nat and Steve started to walk across the tarmac. 

Nat: "It was quite the buzz around here, finding you in the ice. I thought Coulson was gonna swoon." 

Y/N: "If he didn't then, he just did on the jet." 

Nat chuckled a little before turning back to the Captain. 

Nat: "Did he ask you to sign his Captain America trading cards yet?" 

Rogers: "Trading cards?"

Nat: "They're vintage." 

Y/N: "He's very proud, so you've got that to all look forward to." 

The three of them noticed Bruce Banner looking around the helicarrier awkwardly. 

Rogers: "Dr. Banner." 

The doctor turned towards the three of them and approached them, Steve greeted the man with a handshake. 

Banner: "Yeah, hi. They told me you would be coming." 

Rogers: "Word is, you can find the cube." 

Banner: "Is that the only word on me?" 

Rogers: "Only word I care about." 

Banner: "It must be strange for you, all of this." 

Nat and Y/N stood a little off to the side of them as the two men conversed. Nat received a message on her earpiece and approached the two men. 

Nat: "Gentlemen, you might want to step inside in a minute. It's going to get a little hard to breathe." 

Two men looked confused as they heard noises coming from over the side of the helicarrier. 

Rogers: "Is this a submarine?" 

Banner: "Really? They want me in a submerged, pressurised, metal container?" 

The two of them walked over to the edge of the helicarrier and looked over the side. They watched as massive propellers appeared. 

Y/N: "Not quite a submarine." 

Banner: "No, no, this is much worse." 

The helicarrier was lifted out of the ocean and began to fly. 

Y/N, Nat, Banner and Rogers all made their way inside the helicarrier and up to the bridge. Nick Fury stood on the bridge, front and centre, consoles on either side of him. He turned around as they entered. 

Fury: "Gentlemen." 

Rogers walked over to him and handed him ten dollars; he then headed over to where Fury had been stood. Fury made his way over to Banner.

Fury: "Doctor, thank you for coming." 

Banner: "Thanks for asking nicely. So, how long am I staying?" 

Fury: "Once we get our hands on the Tesseract, you're in the wind." 

Banner: "Where are you with that?" 

The two moved over to the railing, Coulson stood below them. 

Coulson: "We're sweeping every wirelessly accessible camera on the planet. Cell phones, laptops... if it's connected to a satellite, it's eyes and ears for us."

Y/N, having heard this, took out his phone and looked down at it, he slowly moved his finger over the camera and made a small bit of ice to go over it.

Nat: "That's still not gonna find them in time." 

Banner: "You have to narrow your field. How many spectrometers do you have access to?" 

Fury: "How many are there?" 

Banner: "Call every lab you know. Tell them to put the spectrometers on the roof and calibrate them for gamma rays. I'll rough out a tracking algorithm, basic cluster recognition. At least, we could rule out a few places. Do you have somewhere for me to work?" 

Fury: "Agent Romanoff, could you show Dr Banner to his laboratory, please?" 

Romanoff: "You're gonna love it, Doc. We got all the toys." 

Natasha walked off leading Banner to his lab.

A little while later Cap and Coulson stood next to each other on the bridge, Y/N sat at the main table a little while away from them. 

Coulson: "I mean, if it's not too much trouble." 

Rogers: "No, no. It's fine." 

Coulson: "It's a vintage set. It took me a couple years to collect them all. Near mint. Slight foxing around the edges, but..." 

Y/N sat and watched the two of them with a grin on his face from watching how awkward Coulson was. 

A little ways away from the two of them an agent gets a match on the face-trace for Loki. 

Agent: "We got a hit. A 67% match. Wait. Crossmatch, 79%." 

Coulson: "Location?"

Agent: "Stuttgart, Germany. 28 Konigstrasse.  He's not exactly hiding." 

Fury: "Captain, Y/N, you're up." 

A smirk formed on Y/N's face as he stood up. 

Y/N: "Time to suit up Cap."

Loki stood in front of a group of civilians, he hit his scepter against the ground which created a mirage of other Lokis surrounding the people giving them nowhere to run. 

Loki: "I said KNEEL!" 

The group of terrified people slowly knelt in front of Loki. 

Loki: "Is not this simpler? Is this not your natural state?" 

As he spoke, he walked through the crowd. 

Loki: "It's the unspoken truth of humanity, that you crave subjugation. The bright lure of freedom diminishes your life's joy in a mad scramble for power, for identity. You were made to be ruled. In the end, you will always kneel." 

An elderly man slowly stood to his feet in defiance.  

Man: "Not to men like you." 

Loki: "There are no men like me." 

Man: "There are always men like you." 

Loki: "Look to your elders, people. Let him be an example." 

Loki pointed his staff at the man and shot a blast, but it got blocked by Captain America. He used his shield to block the blast which deflected the blast back at Loki, knocking him down. 

Rogers: "You know, the last time I was in Germany, and saw a man standing above everybody else, we ended up disagreeing." 

Loki got back to his feet; his eyes fixed on the war veteran. 

Loki: "The soldier. The man out of time." 

Rogers: "I'm not the one who's out of time." 

Natasha brought the Quinjet down into view, a machine gun dropped out the bottom and aimed at Loki. 

Nat (on PA): "Loki, drop the weapon and stand down. 

Loki sent a blast right for the Quinjet but Natasha manoeuvres it out of the way. Cap quickly threw his shield at Loki; it hit him directly in the chest and came right back to him.  The Captain rushed over to Loki and sent a punch right into the God's jaw. Loki reacted quickly, he hit Cap's shield knocking it out of the way allowing him to land a solid hit to the Captain's gut. This caused Rogers to go tumbling backwards. 

- - - - - -

On the Quinjet, Y/N stood next to Nat as they both watched the fight unfold. 

Y/N: "Alright, I'm going in." 

Nat: "Go, I'll keep you covered." 

Y/N nodded at Nat and ran to the back of the Quinjet, he hit a button that made the door open, and he leapt out of the jet and formed a wave of ice under himself, he surfed his way toward Loki. 

- - - - - -

Cap got knocked to the ground once again, his shield knocked away from him. Loki started to advance towards the downed Captain when all of a sudden, he goes flying, the God lands on his back and looks up to see Y/N standing there in his Sub-Zero suit. 

Y/N: "You know for a God; I thought you would take a hit better." 

Loki: "The child." 

Y/N: "Child? Really?" 

Y/N advanced towards the God, who got to his feet quickly. The God shot a blast from his sceptre towards the teenager, Y/N created an ice wall in front of him to protect himself. Loki sent another blast at the wall to destroy it, only to be hit in the side by Y/N, knocking him back once again. 

Y/N: "Clearly not the God of perception." 

Y/N chuckled to himself as he picked the downed Loki up off the floor and sent another hit at him. Loki hit Y/N with his sceptre just as Y/N sent the second hit at the God of mischief. The teen stumbled back a little and created an ice sword in his hand, he rushed at Loki once again. The two clashed weapons, Y/N's sword withheld against the sceptre as the two exchanged blows. Y/N managed to land a hit on Loki's cheek, cutting it slightly. 

Y/N: "How does it feel to be hurt by a mortal?" 

Y/N swung his sword at the God once again. As the two clashed, Loki was blasted by a repulsor blast from Iron Man. He flew in and landed next to Y/N as ACDC blasted through the Quinjet's PA. 

Loki landed on his back on the stairs while Tony landed in a superhero pose. Stark stood to his feet and pointed his repulsors and tank missiles at the downed God. 

Stark: "Make your move, Reindeer Games." 

Y/N stood next to the armoured man as Captain America picked up his shield and joined the two of them. 

Loki's armour and sceptre disappeared as he lifted his hands in surrender. 

Stark: "Good move." 

Rogers: "Mr Stark." 

Stark: "Captain." 

Y/N: "I would have had him, you know?"
