Buckys POV:

"Everything is set up at the old industrial site where we think shes hiding." Nat and Clint stride in.

"I think you shouldn't be here Alisa when it all goes down." Bruce says turning towards her.

"What? Why? She's my best friend, I want to help." Alisa exclaims.

"He's right." Steve says from the side, "As much as you want to help her, it's too dangerous. You've only just begun your SHIELD training. It may be best if you go there."

She looks disappointed for a while but gives in, "alright. But you have to keep me updated."

"Of course."

"If we've guessed correctly, there's a possibility HYDRA won't have erased Loki from her memory. For all we know, they probably don't know about their social interactions. Heck, we didn't even." Tony looks at Loki, but doesn't have a total look of trust on his face.

"So Loki... what is it you're actually going to do to her?" I turn towards him.

"Something I may deeply regret, breaking our friendship bonds, which she worked so hard to forge." Loki says whilst looking out the window with an almost glum look on his face. An emotion alien like to the team on Lokis face.

"Loki, I believe you truly care about her. I have not seen that look on your face for a long time, brother." Thor says whilst placing a hand on Lokis shoulder, he didn't even object to being called brother.

I know what I have to do. I have to somehow pry into her mind. As if she's a monster waiting to be destroyed from within. And me. The destroyer. I don't want to do this. I can't.

"Do I have to?" I find myself wondering aloud.

"Yes you do!" Clint steps in front of me. "You have to do this. To save her."

"But I don't want to hurt her."

"Neither do I. But I know what I must do." Loki turns, away from the window before disappearing down the hallway with Thor.

Then Steve steps forward, placing a hand on my shoulder, "sometimes we have to hurt the ones we love in order to save them."

I knew it. He does love her.

"Woah guys!" Bruce exclaims as his phone beeps louder and louder each time.

CRASH. Zooom.

"You didn't see that coming?" A white haired boy with a thick accent says to Clint.

"Who are you and why are you attacking us?" Tony shouts over the commotion.

"You hurt people like us." The woman in red says, her accent also thick.

"What are you talking about." Steve gasps as she lifts him using her powers into the air, choking him.

A figure steps out into the open.

"Not that one. He's mine."

And the room goes black.
