Primo was relaxing on a chair, keeping his legs on the shield-shaped table, resting.

"Primo."

As much as he didn't want to open his eyes, he still had to, hearing the familiar voice.

He squeezed his shut eyes, opened them to look at the blurry face of Wanda, "you are here...?"

He just said when he felt a rush of air, making him look at the other side. At the young man leaning on the chair, "believe it or not. We are part of Avengers Initiative as well."

Primo nearly closed his eyes, with a smile on his lips, "Wanda, I believe. You are just fast. I bet you are here to bring the drinks. I need some water."

Quicksilver disappeared and reappeared with a water bottle in his hand. He opened the cap, moving it towards his mouth with a smug, teasing smile on his face. When his body abruptly stopped.

Primo raised his hand, taking the bottle from his grasp, "yeah...nothing has changed since you were a kid. Still dumb."

Jay chugged the water down, looking at the others who came, the ones that were weirdly staring.

Natasha was standing there, cautiously watching him, with Dr. Bruce Banner and Steve Rogers standing near the panels where Nick was staring.

He put his leg down while Wanda released her brother, who used his superspeed to snatch the bottle away.

Primo shot a look at him, removing his feet from the table, "petty."

"Goodmorning," Nick walked over, looking at him, "if sir has rested enough, then can we talk business?"

Primo stood up, putting his hand on the table, supporting himself, "you have no idea how taxing an event like this is for us. All the dimensions barriers around the Earth are weakening. Beings from Fear Dimension, The Dormammu's Dark Dimension, are already trying to break in. The Astral, Mirror, even Quantum Dimension might leak into ours. It's taking all of mine and Ancient One's strength to keep them in check."

He took a deep breath, sitting back down, "the only reason why I am explaining it to you. It's important, and I don't want you to feel that I don't care. So please refrain from using sentences like those that might make others think that I am not taking this seriously?"

Before Nick could say anything, he spoke again, "and I am tired and very cranky. So, just don't try playing games with me?"

"Wait, what is he talking about?" Banner stepped forward, "why would Quantum Realm leak into ours? That's just a disaster, a much bigger disaster than anything that Tesseract could cause?"

Nick hesitated, looking at him, "you don't have to worry about that. Another team is on that."

"Another team? Is there another disaster brewing?" Rogers frowned, making Nick even more uncomfortable.

Wanda leaned back on the chair, crossing her legs, "you can't do anything about that, so leave it be. We need to focus on getting back the Tesseract. Others are preparing to deal with that. Let's do our job, so theirs become easier."

"If it was any other scenario, then I would listen to the suggestion. But if Quantum Realm or other dimensions start leaking in our world, then the sky will literally fall. I want to know if the sky is falling," Banner walking forward, with panic in his eyes.

Primo nodded, "ok, then. If we are unsuccessful in stopping Loki, then the sky will fall. Literally."

"If we stop him?" Rogers walked over.

"Then, the sky won't fall."

"Sir, we have facial recognition on Loki. He is in Stuttgart, Germany."

Rogers nodded, "Then I'll go work on stopping him."

Primo looked towards Pietro and Wanda, "you two too. Go."

"Come on, sis, we have an alien butt to kick."

Banner looked towards them, looking at Roger's back, "should I go too? I could be of help?"

Rogers shook his head, "No, try and find the Tesseract, and let me handle this."

"Yes, Captain."

"Natasa, show them to the Quinjet, someone here, show Dr. Banner the lab."

Dr. Banner nodded towards Primo, walking off, while Wanda waved at him, walking off with Pietro.

Nick walked over, sitting down, looking at them walk away, "the sky won't fall?"

Primo leaned his head back, closing his eyes, "I didn't lie...it won't...it will just...change."

Nick rested his head, "I don't know which is worse."

Stuttgart, Germany,

Loki walked over towards the group of panicked people, trying to run away. He stopped them, using his illusionary duplicates, "Kneel."

But the crowd was too panicked to listen to him; he tapped the staff with a blue gem on the ground, raising his voice, "I said!"

*Boom*

Abruptly his body shot backward, dragging against the road, breaking into the empty building that everyone came from.

Iron Man landed where he was standing, wearing black and golden Uru armor, descending where Loki was standing. He put his hand on his ear, "you were saying something? Nothing? Ok."

He turned around, looking at the crowd, "all right, everyone. Don't worry, Iron Man is here."

A blue beam of light hit him, causing him to fly off, but before he fell, nano-armor changed, thrusters appeared, holding him up in the air, "oh, now you have done it."

[Sir, there is a Quinjet near us.]

"Oh, good, Jarvis, hack the system and play my playlist. I need the music," Tony created six appendages, two around his arms and four floating behind him.

Loki walked over, holding his stomach, pointing the specter at Iron Man, as the music started sounding, "Iron Man...I thought you would be the first one. But you do not know the power you are dealing with."

Suddenly, he reacted to something but couldn't keep up. The specter in his hand disappeared, and a mocking voice entered his ear, "you mean this?"

Loki looked towards the Quicksilver, with the specter on his shoulder, grinning, "you are..."

"Surprise, surprise, you don't know him," Wanda landed on the ground, with scarlet energy on her palm, followed by Captain America, who landed beside her.

"But I know you two. The Soldier and The Dictatoress," Loki smiled, looking towards Wanda, "I don't easily get drawn. But I must say, you are one woman that I could give my heart to. How about it, join me in my quest, and we can rule the Earth together."

Iron Man came near them, "Is it just me? Or is this guy off his rockers."

"I don't think it's just you," Captain America said, looking towards Loki, "surrender, Loki. You cannot escape."

Loki glanced towards them, "can't you see I am taking to the lady here?"

He looked towards Wanda, smiling, "So?"

Wanda walked over, and a crimson light flashed from under her feet, traveling in all directions.

It passed through the police car that was turned over, got on its tires. The police officer inside healed, the damage on the road and building disappeared. And the specter rushed out of Pietro's hand, falling into hers.

The smile on Loki's face became even broader when Wanda stopped, stroking the specter. Crimson energy covered it, removing the blue jewel from it.

"Wait, what are you doing?" Loki wanted to move, but crimson energy bound him in place.

Wanda crushed the gem, holding the yellow stone in her hand, tilting her head, watching it.

"Rule the Earth? With just the Mind Stone?" She gazed at it, watching.

Wanda raised her head, looking at Loki, "or do you want to add Space Stone in the mix? Just two of the Infinity Gems aren't enough to rule the Earth. You should have brought all six, and you might have posed a challenge. Right now, you are nothing more than a nuisance."

She raised her hand, throwing Loki on Iron Man and Captain's feet, "take him to the Helicarrier. I am going to check if someone is injured."

Captain America was stunned for a moment, "right, how are you going to come back?"

Wanda waved her hand, walking off, "I am a Witch. I will be there before you."

Tony removed his armor, landing on the ground, "so there are Witches now? I did not know she was this strong. But now it makes sense."

"You have met her?" Captain raised his eyebrow.

"Yeah, she's Jay's girlfriend, that reminds me. Where is he?"

"Don't know. Jay wasn't at the Helicarrier; something else has kept him busy. Do you have any idea what she was talking about? The..."

"Infinity Gems...No, Jarvis can't find anything on the net. But then, Tesseract did open a portal, and the one she took was used to control the mind? There seems to be a set of these things," Tony rubbed his head when Pietro came over, with a smug face that was shouting, ask me.

Tony looked at him, turning towards the Quinjet, "let's go. Maybe Fury knows something."

*Cough*

"I don't want to interrupt your riveting conversation. But, can you help me get up?" Loki looked at them with a pleading smile.

"All yours, Captain."

Steve squatted in front of Loki, sighing, "I always get the grunt work. Come on, on your feet."
