Unexpected

Nina ran to the glass cell Loki was being contained in. Keyword: was. Not any more. Nina got there just in time to see Loki's hand pressing the button to drop the cell out of the Hellicarrier. And Thor was in it.

She looked around at the situation and spotted Coulson on the other side of the room, bleeding. He had been impaled by something.

"What did you do?" Nina asked weakly. Loki slowly turned around at her, a smirk on his face.

A huge boom made her flinch. Loki had been thrown out of the room, his body making a hole in the wall.

" So that's what it does," came a weak voice form behind her. She turned around and remembered that Coulson was sitting on the ground. Nina immediately dropped to her knees beside him. "Sorry, Nina. They got rabbited."

"Just stay awake," Nina told him. "Eyes on me!" She almost yelled when he started closing his eyes. No, she couldn't lose someone. Not again. Not another one.

"No," Coulson said with a sad smile. "I'm clocked out here." Nina felt hot tears burning through her eyes.

"Not an option," she told Coulson.

"It's okay, boss. This was never going to work... if they didn't have something... to..." Phil let out his last breath as he looked away. Nina closed her eyes, her hands and white shirt now covered in blood, Phil's blood.

A medical team arrives, taking Nina away from him. Just as she turned around, she spotted Nick, who had just witnessed the whole scene. The medical team takes Coulson away, and Nick follows them closely.

Suddenly, Nina felt a hand on her shoulder, and as she turned around, she discovered it was Loki. Before she could even react, they had teleported to somewhere else entirely. Next thing she knew, she felt a really bad pain on the back of the head, and everything went black.

Natasha had managed to hit Clint hard enough on the head to bring him back to his senses. She was sitting on a chair next to his bed, to which he was cuffed.

"Agent Coulson is down," Fury said through the coms. "Banner is gone and Loki took Jones. Meeting in five." Natasha mentally decided that she was not going to that meeting. She looked back at Clint when she realised he was waking up. He was moving and struggling, trying to shake off Loki's mind control.

"You'll be alright, Clint," she assured him.

"You know that? Is that what you know? I got...I gotta go in though. I gotta flush him out," Clint said. He didn't even sound like himself.

"We don't have that long, it's gonna take time," she told him.

"I don't understand. Have you ever had someone take your brain and play? Pull you out and send something else in? Do you know what it's like to be unmade?" Clint only realised what he'd said when Natasha looked down.

"You know that I do," she said weakly.

"Why am I back?" He asked, wanting to change the subject. "How did you get him out."

"Cognitive recalibration. I hit you really hard in the head." Natasha knew what she was doing, she'd done it hundreds of times before.

"Thanks. And Loki, he got away?"

"Yeah, and he took Nina. I don't supposed you know where?" Natasha asked. Clint looked at her worried.

" He took Nina?" Nat nodded. "No, I don't know.  But we gotta get her back."

"We will."
