The team had already located our dear sorcerer with the glow stick of destiny at Stuttgart, Germany. I mentally cringed at the fact that I already knew where he would be and could have saved them a lot of time by just hinting at it a little but then Divya being the rational voice explained in not so subtle words that it would be foolish and also counterproductive to our goal which needed us to keep the future or any hints to it secret from the ones directly involved in it. 'You are really stupid you know. What were you thinking? Oh I already know where that greasy haired reindeer is!!! Follow me' Divya drawled in her trademarked sarcastic voice and I sulked as I said 'I just want to help' to which she cooed 'I know honey, but you've gotta use that god given brain of yours sometimes. I know you have it' to which I just gave her a mental 'piss off'.

So back to the present now we've got a hit on our beloved Jotunn at Stuttgart, Germany. "Captain you're up Agent Malhotra you'll be back up" Fury ordered and I mentally rolled my eyes as Divya fumed inside me. "Back-up??? Back the frick up really? He is the front line and we're backup. The fossil is gonna get plastered by that Asgardian. 'He'll be okay Fury knows it after all he could do this all say' I told Divya mockingly to which we both snickered. "Any issues Divi?" Steve said and I raised an eyebrow "We've not reached the point of nick-names Mr Rogers but to answer your question, No I have no issues staying back on the contrary it'll be a very interesting fight to watch" I said smirking whilst Fury gave me a death glare. "Stay back intervene only when it's absolutely necessary Agent" Fury said.

"Sir, would it be necessary for the kid to go? It'll be a dangerous mission and she seems to be a new recruit." Steve said worriedly to which Fury just gave him his signature blank stare and said "I assure you Captain the reason why Agent Malhotra is back up is because we have to capture the hostile force with minimum damage and the moment Agent Malhotra is involved in the fight it'll escalate to a battle and can flatten the whole city. So Agent is tasked with rescuing civilians and will help the team out in case the team finds it difficult to capture Loki." To which I gave Fury a small smile and a mock salute as I left to put on my gear sans the weapon cause who needs a gun when you have a magic pitchfork.

Now you would expect a cut scene to the museum but yeah unfortunately this was not the movie and we don't have the omniscient view of a fan watching a film so here I am waiting in the quintjet while Captain Fossil put on his 'suit' which took him almost half an hour. 'What's taking him so long? It's just a skin tight American flag themed onsie.' Divya grumbled and I lost it once again as I started cackling but he got ready eventually and joined me and Natasha.

I recalled the upcoming events as we now neared our location and the jet lowered at a distance and I climbed out tasked with blending into the crowd which was now in frenzy at the square. "Be careful Divi do not engage unless you absolutely have to he has hurt you before" Natasha warned me and I just gave her a toothy smile and said "This time reindeer head needs to be more careful cause I'm not very forgiving".

"Kneeeeeeeeeel!!" Loki shouted at the gathered mass and whilst some of the Loki fans might have replied with a resolute yes sir I was slightly pissed off at him for stabbing me so I just kept standing like the old gentleman in front of me. "Is this not simpler? Is this not your natural state?" Loki questioned the crowd as I slowly made my way forward trying to shield as many people behind me even slowly pointing some of the kneeling people to crawl behind alleyways and cars. Loki continued his Shakespearean dramatics and I directed even more people slowly until he noticed the old man standing and I gritted my teeth under my retractible mask and crouched down.

"Not to men like you" the brave but kinda foolish man said but truly brave nonetheless. Loki wanted to make an example out of him to scare the crowd and fired his sceptre but before the blast reached the man I absorbed the blast as the veins in my hand pulsed blue. Steve's shield came flying through as it hit Loki on the head. Steve fired off his dialogue which I tuned out as I was busy leading people away from the upcoming fight. "The soldier, a man out of time and also The warrior, Keeper of a thousand secrets" he said as he smiled maliciously and my hands fisted by my sides as a pang shot through my heart but thankfully Steve ignored it and the quintjet lowered as Natasha's voice filtered from it's speakers commanding him to stand down.

He pointed his sceptre at the jet and fired again as I cast an energy barrier around the jet which absorbed the blow and dissipated. Cap threw his Shield at Loki and then proceeded to have a hand to hand combat but to no match for the strength and durability if a god. I directed more people out and also managed to throw a few plasma blasts which hit him perfectly on his arse and back. The enraged god whirled around and tried to blast me but I dodged it "Missed me! Try again". "Divi don't provoke him" Nat's chiding voice filtered through the earpiece I was wearing. The soldier and the god exchanged a few more blows before there when there was a stating in my earpiece as music started to play from the quintjet and I smiled as I realised who had arrived.

"Agent Romanoff, Sabrina you miss me?" Tony's voice came through my earpiece as the iconic hot red and gold armour landed in front of Loki extending a variety of missiles, guns as well as his trademark repulsors "Make your move Reindeer Games". "Well this will be fun" I said as we escorted the god as per his own plan into the quintjet. "This is not fun" I said as I was extremely uncomfortable by the knowing smile that Loki was giving me. I stood up from my seat about to go towards him but Tony put a hand on my shoulder and said in a low voice. "Be careful kid, he's got a lot of tricks up his sleeves" and I nodded wordlessly. I walked towards him and sat beside him which surprised him a little as his eyebrows rose a little.

"I hope you liked the gift I gave you last time we met little warrior" Loki purred and I scrunched up my face in distaste and whispered "Well the 'gift' took me a week to recover from so no." I pointed a finger towards my head indicating him to open a telepathic channel and he smirked as I felt an intrusion in my mind as if a barrier was there naturally. 'You sure about this? He will know about me for sure' Divya said to which I replied "I have a feeling he knows a lot more than we think so no point hiding plus even if he's not on our side right now I believe he will in the future. I'll make sure of it so let him in" and Divya did as I instructed.

"Greetings Warrior as well as the Warrior's soul I did not expect you'll hold so well against me trying to enter your mind though the infinity stone did show you a little something didn't it?" Loki's voice filtered into my mind as Divya literally growled at him. 'Stop it with your tricks tell us how do you know about the Warrior and her soul.' 'How do you know about the trinity? You knew they chose me and also about my secrets how?' I said my voice hard and devoid of any emotions.

Loki chuckled as he said "Every pantheon of gods as well as the council of celestials know about the Trinityand their representative 'The Yoddha' so does Odin and so do I. He knows it too and has someone with him who knows about you and your insight alot more than you think" and my heart went cold and a deep chasm of dread wascreated in my stomach. Still steeling up my resolve I asked "How?" but beforehe could reply lightning struck and I gave a sigh of frustration as Captain asked "What scared of a little lightning?" to which Loki said "I'm not overly fond of what follows". Thoreal, aka the god of sparkles had arrived.
