Nina Jones was back in her lab, and was walking Dr. Banner through all of the equipment.

"So.. how do you know all of this?" He asked.

"I used to be the scientist around here," she told him, as they calibrated the algorithm for cluster detection and recognition.

"Used to?"

"Nick said I was better off as an agent," she answered. Nina definetly wasn't fond of the path this conversation taking.

" You must be a freaking good agent, then. You're  the only one who knows about the Tesseract. Why didn't Fury make you work in here in the lab?" Bruce asked her.  Nina definetly didn't want to tell this man anything, so she made up some lie.

"I don't have much experience with Gamma radiation. Not as much as you," she told him.

Just when Bruce was about to ask her something else, the intercom boomed above them.

"Agent Jones please come back to the bridge," it said. Nina granted a smile to Dr. Banner and ran back to where she was needed.

"We got a hit. Sixty-seven percent match," Agent Sitwell informed. "Weight, cross match, seventy- nine percent."

"Location?" Agent Coulson asked. Nina saw Steve's puzzled face and guessed Phill had already asked him to sign his trading cards.

"Stuttgart, Germany. 28, Konigstrasse. He's not exactly hiding," Agent Sitwell told them.

"Anyone speak German?" Fury asked, already looking at Nina with a small smirk on his face.

"For goodness sake," she exclaimed at him. Fury knew how much she hated it to go on missions alone. Then she had the brilliant idea to bring Steve into it with her. "Steve knows German," she blurted out.

"I took two years of German in high school," Steve explained. "I definetly don't speak German."

"That's good enough for me," Fury said. "Cap, you're up."

Steve nodded  and left to suit up. Nina did the same. She walked to her room and put on her skinny black leather onesie. It was much like Nat's,  but it was a bit more... loose. And instead of having blue details, hers were green. Nina liked to tease her friend, saying her suit was more of a soldier's and less of a stripper's.  Natasha would laugh every time.

They walked in the jet and Natasha flew Nina and Steve to Germany. When they got there, Loki was standing in front of a bunch of people kneeling to him. This man really was in some need of attention.

Nina also noticed how there was one man still standing up, challenging Loki. Nina loved this side of humanity. Just as Loki was about to shoot his energy to the man, Nina and Steve jumped out of their jet, the latter shielding the elder man with his vibranium shield. Nina dropped in front of Loki, giving him one single blow to the head and making him fall backwards.

"You know, the last time I was in Germany and saw a man standing above everybody else, we ended up disagreeing," Steve told Loki, who smirked.

"Two soldiers. Out of their time," Loki said, standing back up.

"We're not the ones who are out of time," Nina commented, pointing up. At the same time, the Jet lowered itself above them.

"Loki, lower the weapon and stand down," Nat's voice boomed over them through the speakers. Loki used his scepter to throw a blast of energy towards the quinjet, but luckily Natasha managed to maneuver it just in time not to get hit. Steve threw his shield at Loki, who grabbed it, giving Nina the time to kick him in the chest.

Loki then threw Steve's shield back at him, and threw his arm around Nina's neck from behind.

"I remember you," he whispered in her ear. "You're the girl who took the Teseract in your own hands in attempt of hiding it form me," he said. Nina could hear it in his voice that he was smiling. Nina frowned and threw Loki around her shoulder into the ground.

At the same time, Tony Stark appeared next to them. Loki sat up on a step from the stairs, Nina, Steve and now Tony standing over him. Tony pointed his hundred of missiles and guns from his suit at the man.

"Make your move, Reindeer Games," Tony said. Nina sighed. Nick had warned her about Stark's habit of giving everyone nicknames. Loki put his hands up in surrender and magicly made his horns disappear. "Good move."

"Mr. Stark," Nina and Steve say at the same time. They both share a look and then a small smile.

"Captain. Lady I don't know."

"Nina Jones," she presented herself. Tony frowned.

"Sounds familiar."
