Once upon a time, there was...
Loki has grabbed his staff and Captain Rogers lunges for him, hitting the prince's weapon aside and nailing his fist against his face. Cap brings his shield back as Loki whirls his staff, the man ducking and then smashing his shield against Loki's stomach, sending him on his back again with a grimace. The soldier takes the scepter and Loki looks up at the massive ship ready to kill him.
"Stand down," Rogers says sternly with a breath.
The Asgardian chuckles. "God's perfect soldier... the man out of time," he mocks him.
"I'm not the one who's out of time," he replies, fully armed as Loki is there, a bit injured and outnumbered.
I struggle and try to rip my hands from Iron Man's grip but I can't manage. "Let me go! I'll kill you first!" I rage. "He's mine! He killed my family! He's dead!"
"Calm down—," Cap tries to tell me.

I roar and send a fireball straight at him.
He blocks it with his shield and returns with his eyes wide.
"Careful with that one. She's quite the little whirlwind. And sort of a hot mess," Loki remarks as he stands up, giving the captain a look.
I growl.
"Loki is ours," Rogers says as I continue to struggle. "And he will pay for the lives he took after he tells us where he has hidden the Tesseract."
"I don't care about your mission! I want justice!"
"The only thing you would accomplish is leading the world into ruin. With the Tesseract he has the power to take over everything. Is that the outcome you want?"
"He'll be dead!"
"And something else will take his place. This isn't your war. And we'll make sure he pays for everyone he's killed—"
I roar and thrash, angry tears burning behind my eyes. I glare at Rogers, wanting to break free and kill them both.

"We'll let you have him after he tells us where he put it," Stark says as I breathe heavily. "He's yours then."
"But for now we have to stop him before more innocent people die," Rogers says.
