Loki was escorted to his new cell by dozens of agents. Fury was taking as many precautions as e could. Nina, Bruce, Steve, Natasha and Thor sit around a table in a conference room. On the table, there is the footage of the cameras outside of Loki's glass cell.

Nick stood outside, talking to the prisoner.

"In case it's unclear. You try to escape. You so much as scratch that glass," Nick said, pressing one of the two buttons on the panel next to Loki's cell. With that, a big latch opened below his cell. The other button probably made him free fall. "Ant," he pointed at Loki. "Boot," he pointed at the button. Loki only smirked.

"It is an interesting cage," he remarked. "Not built for me, I suppose."

"Built for something a lot stronger than you."

" Oh, I've heard," Loki said, smiling to the camera. The feeling of having Loki's eyes on Nina send a shiver down her spine. She had to remind herself that Loki was actually looking at Bruce. How did Loki even know about the Hulk?

Nina was lost in thought until Bruce said something.

"He really grows on you, doesn't he?" Bruce commented. Nina looked down to see Loki still smirking at the camera. He obviously had some matter plan, and by the looks of it, it probably involved Banner.

"Loki's gonna drag this out," Steve said. "So, Thor, what's his play?"

"He has an army called the Chitauri. They're not of Asgard or any world known. He means to lead them against your people. They will win him the earth. In return, I suspect, for the Tesseract," Thor guessed.

"An army?" Steve asked. "From outer space?" Nina couldn't help but smile at him. This man had slept for 70 years. The biggest science invention from his time were Howard Stark's "flying" cars. He never got to finish his project.

"So he's building another portal to get the Chitauri here," Nina trailed off.

" And that's why he needs Selvig," Bruce finished. Nina nodded.

"Selvig?" Thor asked.

"He's an astrophysicist," Bruce explained.

"He's a friend," Thor corrected. Steve looked very, very lost at the conversation.

"Loki has him under some kind of spell," Natasha told the boys. "Along with one of ours."

"Of course," Thor remembered, turning to Nina. "Your friend my brother kidnapped."

"That's the one," Nina confirmed. Nina thought about revealing more about this "spell" Loki had Clint under. But she voted against it when she realised she would have to talk about the Mind Stone, and it was a bit too much.

"I wanna know why Loki let us take him. He's not leading an army from here," Steve said. Natasha nodded in agreement.

"I don't think we should be focusing on Loki," Banned gave his opinion. "That guy's brain is a bag full of cats, you could smell crazy on him."

"Careful how you speak," Thor warned. "Loki is beyond reason, but he is from Asgard. And he is my brother."

"He killed 80 people in two days," Natasha argued.

"He's adopted."
