Nico was on the helicarrier, finding solace in the storm which he once feared. Loki shifted slightly, having heard the lightning. Nico's head shot up at the same time, realizing who had just come...

"What's the matter you two?" Steve teased, "Scared of a little lightning."

"I'm not overly fond of what follows." Loki responded, gritting his teeth.

"Please, don't be Thor, please don't be Thor, please don't be Thor... I don't need any more complications in my life." Nico thought.

Thor burst into the room, took Loki, and flew off. Nico groaned.

"And now there's that guy." Stark mumbled.

"Another Asgardian?" Black Widow asked.

"That guy's a friendly?" Steve sounded surprised.

"Doesn't matter. If he frees Loki or kills him, the Tesseract's lost." Stark explained, looking angry.

"He..." I was cut off by Steve.

"Stark, we need a plan of attack!"

"Uh... no, we...." Nico was cut off, this time by Stark.

"I have a plan; Attack." Stark flipped his face plate down, and flew off.

"I'd sit this one out, Cap." Black Widow recommended.

Captain America looked at her, "I don't see how I can."

"These guys come from legends; they're basically gods." Black Widow explained, "Let Nico handle it."

"Wha..." Nico spluttered, "Why me?"

"Thor knows you." Black Widow smirked, and then Natasha hid humor, "Plus, you can't die, and you're one of them."

Rogers whipped around to look at the slim but strong boy shock in his features, "What?" 

"Fine." Nico sighed, and jumped out the hanger, melting into shadows. He flitted from place to place through the shadows, before finally finding Thor and Stark fighting and Loki up on a cliff unsupervised as they did so. They were also making a mess.

"What are you guys doing?" Nico shouted.

Thor turned around, "Nico?"

Tony paused, and stopped fighting, "You two know each other?!"

"Yes! Nico was a..." Nico shook his head at Thor, and Thor understood, "Great companion of my family!"

"I... uh... since... he ... how... I'm... when.... I... uh... um... What?" Tony spluttered.

"Yep." Nico chuckled, "Now can we get Loki in handcuffs, and sort this out, peacefully?"

Thor looked ashamed, and Tony sighed, seemingly frustrated with himself. They left for the helicarrier.
