Earth-6161 [May 2012]

Eric Koenig

"Are you fucking kidding me? Stark promised me that Blue Rock was gone, gone for good!" He watched in rising incredulity as Samantha, the never shaken Samantha paced around on the beach, the water rising and falling in waves all around the island as Samantha's pacing left multiple tsunami waves approaching all around them before they were inexplicably neutralised, seemingly subconsciously by Samantha's powers. Another thing to add in her file then.

"*Cough* *Cough* Stark, do you mean Tony Stark?" The Captain asked her, his entire body tense as if he was anticipating an attack. He shook his head as he stood up from his sitting position. If Samantha wanted both of them dead, they would be dead. No force on the planet was capable of stopping Samantha as long as she was near water and as they were on Earth, which had over 70% of its surface made up of water, she was damn near unstoppable almost everywhere.

Samantha stopped pacing, snapping at the Captain, "What? No! I am not talking about that wet behind the ears brat. I am talking about Howard. I know for a fact that he did not lie to me about that. He assured me that the Tesseract was gone, buried somewhere out of reach for anyone."

"He *Cough* was not lying. The Tesseract was gone but Howard later fished it out of the ice. It has been in SHIELD's custody since then." The Captain replied and he didn't have it in him to stop him from disseminating clearly classified information. Now was definitely not the time for a lecture on Information Compartmentalisation and why it was important for SHIELD to function efficiently and safely.

"Fuck!" Samantha swore as she snapped her fingers, releasing a wave of some sort that instantly cleared the air, removing the humidity from the air as well as calming the waters all around them.

She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and then asked them, "And why is a literal blue box of death not tracked by you guys when Howard Stark could track it in the 40s?"

"It's Loki. He has done…something that has cloaked the Tesseract's energy signature. The Director needs you to come in, just in case."

"Uh-huh and what, pray tell, could I do to get the Tesseract back, aside from acting as muscle? Unless you guys have the guy?" She crossed her arms and tapped her foot on the ground, releasing subtle vibrations that seemed to reverberate throughout the small island.

He gulped at the casual show of power. It was yet another reminder that despite what she looked like and how she tolerated him, she could probably kill him instantly, and everyone else in miles, without even trying.

"I…don't know. Look, we are wasting precious time here. Time that could be spent tracking down the Tesseract. The sooner we are done with that, the sooner you can leave."

Samantha stared down the Captain for a bit before snorting, "Fine. Now, leave, I'll come find you in a bit."

He opened his mouth to interrupt but his words got stuck in his mouth as Samantha just dissolved into a puddle of water. He exchanged awkward looks with the Captain before just shrugging and calling it a day.

"Let's go."

Yet another thing to add to her list of abilities. Apparently, she could teleport and leave behind the water as well. He knew that she could turn into water once she was in a sufficiently large body of water and traverse that way but this was something else entirely.

SHIELD Helicarrier

"We have a 60% match. 82%, 87. We have a perfect match!" The junior analyst shouted in excitement as he informed the Director and the team that had assembled on the Carrier sprang into action, heading straight to Stuttgart, Germany.

"Fucking Finally!" The Director pulled out his gun, and so did hundreds of others as Samantha Webers materialised in the center of the deck, forming out of seemingly nowhere.

"How did you get in? We have sensors tracking everything." The Director thundered at Samantha, gun still pointed at her center mass.

Samantha however, completely ignored everyone and turned to the Captain, "Let's get to it."

The Captain nodded, surprised but not letting it get to him, as they followed Maria Hill who took action after getting approval from Director Fury.

Stuttgart, Germany

"Not to men like you." 

Loki responds, "There are no men like me." 

The elderly man counters, "There are always men like you."

Loki sneered and raised his sceptre, glowing an ominous blue, ready to make an example out of the ant in front of him when he heard the faint whine before a blur of blue tackled him, breaking his nose.

He grunted as he was thrown back violently, his vision blacking out for a bit before he stood up, disoriented from the sudden and very heavy blow before his regenerative abilities kicked in and his vision cleared, allowing him to see who was in front of him.

"Be careful." A woman, floating, spoke to the star spangled man out of time.

Okay, time for the speech, Loki thought, "Ah! The Man out of time himself! And…you…Who…are you?" Loki asked, speaking through the pain as his nose reset itself, the process being remarkably slower simply because he was just so exhausted. He just wanted to go home and sleep–NO– he had to conquer Earth and deliver the Tesseract to his Master—Thanos.

The woman took one look at him before he recoiled as he felt his body being pulled inside out. Dropping to one knee, he looked at his hands, which were shrivelling, like the time he turned into a Frost Giant- NOOO!

His magic burned as he tried to fight off this attack. The last thing he saw was a giant wave of water slamming into him before darkness claimed his vision.

In German Airspace, Quinjet

–Natasha Romanoff–

"So, that was….something." She said out loud, hoping to get something off of the old woman who had waved her hand and brought a ton of water from nearby sources and hit Loki with it, after doing something to him that resulted in his skin shriveling up.

"Yes. That was….something, wouldn't you say so, Captain?" The metallic modulated voice of Tony Stark filled the cabin as both of them looked at the Captain who seemed to know something since the woman had been unresponsive, aside from escorting the battered Loki into the Jet with a ring of water flowing all around the unconscious Loki, imprisoning him, with a bubble of air surrounding his face, which too was then covered in water.

All in all, Loki would probably drown before he could get out of that ball, especially without his main weapon, which was sealed into a SHIELD standard issue containment box.

"Her name is Samantha. She was called in by Director Fury to help with–"

"Help? Captain, she did not help, she outright destroyed Loki by herself. How is someone like her, with the ability to manipulate water of all things, unknown?" Tony voiced her concern out, and while she was warned that she might get some unorthodox team mates, she had expected Banner, not someone completely unknown but with the ability to one shot Norse Gods.

"I am right here, you know." The voice of the old man reverbed throughout the cabin.

"Oh, so you can speak. I thought we were dealing with a mute. So, what are you really, Miss Webers?" Tony snarked at the very old and very dangerous woman, in midair.

"Tony, I don't think–" She tried to warn him but then the woman beat him to the punch.

She chuckled, "You know, you remind me of your father. Arrogant. Headstrong. Prideful. Passionate. Impatient and many more things but it would seem, just like your father, you too have the skill to back it all up." The woman said after checking out Tony's suit.

"You knew Dear 'Ol Dad?" Tony spoke in a playful tone but she knew that he was serious underneath all of that. Despite what he may portray to the world, Tony had some very strong feelings about his father, i.e., daddy issues.

"Yes, I knew your father. He was actually the one who found—" Samatha abruptly stopped as she looked up. She tensed up as the woman stood up, the ring of water around Loki abruptly accelerating.

Tony, wary, asked, "What? What's wrong?"

"We have company," Was all the warning they got before a storm appeared all around the Jet, making the entire Jet tremble.

There was a dull thudding noise above the Jet before, the Jet's landing bay was ripped apart by…..Thor?

"Careful! That's Tho-" She tried to warn but realistically, what happened next was inevitable.

Thor took one look at the water bound Loki before he threw his hammer at the bubble. It all happened so fast but she still caught on the traces of water on Thor's hammer as it broke through the containment bubble.

The breaking of the bubble released a shock wave that shook the entire Quinjet, throwing back Tony and the Captain as well. Thor then took Loki with one hand and flew out of the Quinjet, disappearing into the distance.

Tony followed suit immediately, the sound of his rocket fading, as the Captain finally stood up and began buckling himself up with the parachute.

Amidst all of that, she picked up on the whisper-like voice of Samantha, "Hmm. So that was a God."

Before she could question anything, Samantha turned into water and turned into a stream of water that shot itself out of the Jet.

After all of that, the Captain, having finally equipped himself with a parachute, began marching towards the now completely broken Bay.

"I wouldn't go if I were you, Captain. These people, they are out of your league. Even super soldiers can't match up to them. They are literal Gods."

"Where I come from, there's only one God Ma'am and he sure as hell doesn't look like that. At least, I think they don't?" Steve mumbled to himself before he jumped out as well.

Shaking her head, she lowered the altitude, ready to turn around. She might not be able to do that but she could at least provide gunfire support.

Oh, who was she kidding? She stood no chance amidst all these people. She was just a woman with guns.
