CASSIE WAS HIDING in plain sight, silently and barely moving so people would just gaze past her person when they scouted the room. She was enjoying the prime entertainment that was listening to Agent Coulson try and lodge himself up Steve's ass - it made the silent part of her hidden self hard.

"It's a vintage set, took me a couple of years to collect..." Cassie suppressed a loud giggle when and Agent spoke up.

"We got a hit!" He exclaimed, making everyone jump to attention, "67% match. Weight, cross match, 79%."

"Location?" Phil asked.

"Stuttgart, Germany. He's not exactly hiding."

"Wait why would he do that?" Cassie immediately blurted out. Almost as quickly regretting speaking up as Nick Fury turned to her with a definite cross expression.

"Cassandra, what the damn hell are you doing here?" He yelled.

Her eyes widened, "you're dreaming?"

"My office. Now!" He commanded before turning to Steve, "captain, you're up."

"I cannot believe you have broken in again!" He started angry as soon as he stepped through the door. "How did you even get in my office?!"

"Well the funny thing is..." Cassie began, "I got nothing."

Nick sighed heavily, "You've grown up next to Iron Man. That's gotta be a hard thing to live up to but you are sixteen years old. You don't have to live up to anything yet." He ranted.

"Go to school! Live a normal life. Come back to me in a couple of years if you still want to pursue this." He bargained, "but you're just a child. Stop hacking companies, stop breaking into buildings and stop coming into my protected area. It is dangerous for you to know this information."

Cassie stayed silent as Fury's words soaked in hitting her hard. Disoriented she nodded to him agreeing to him getting a helicarrier to take Cassie home.

Cassie slowly walked towards the helicarrier that was supposed to take her home... when she saw Captain America and Black Widow boarding another. Smirking to herself, Cassandra rapidly snuck onto the plane. Narrowly avoiding being seen by Steve before safely tucking her small body behind a seat at the back of the aircraft.

A while later, they had arrived in Germany and Steve was currently facing off with no other than Loki - the God of Mischief.

"So where's Clint been recently?" Cassie piped up to Natasha and scaring almost everyone aboard the vehicle.

"Potts what the hell are you doing here?!" Natasha snapped.

"I just wanted to show everyone that I'm not a child. I can do stuff too you know? I'm incredibly smart I could hack anything - I shouldn't even have to tell you this, you already know!" Cassie explained.

"Jesus, you need to sit down and we're getting you home as soon as possible." Nat sighed.

"No! I want to help. I want to prove..." she trailed off as the moving helicarrier sharply turned and Natasha started speaking aloud into a mic.

"Loki, drop the weapon and stand down!" She ordered. Cassie started moving to sit at the back of the craft when she heard a familiar voice speak out.

"Agent Romanoff, did you miss me?" Her uncles sarcastic voice questioned Nat who rolled her eyes in reply.

"Oh no." Cassie said to herself.

"You're in for it now, kid." Nat said to Cassie.

"Really? I hadn't noticed." She muttered in a retort whilst trying to settle into her previous hiding corner.

//\\

Everyone was now aboard the helicarrier, Loki was sat near Cassandra and she couldn't stop staring. She was positive he'd seen her but hadn't spoken up yet - also Natasha hadn't spoken a word of her appearance to Tony... mostly considering she had no idea where she had hidden.

Thunder and lightning started to shake the aircraft and Loki groaned. "What? Scared of a little lightning?" Rogers inquired to Loki.

Another bad strike hit and sent Cassie tumbling from her spot and ont he floor - in front of everyone's shocked face. Except Tony, his usually playful demeanour vanished replaced by an irritated and angry aura.

Cassie flashed a wide smile, "woah! Fancy seeing you guys here... ha ha. Coincidences, am I right?" She awkwardly laughed, reanalysing their faces and covering it with a cough.

"Are you serious Cassandra?!" Tony yelled, "do you know how worried Pepper and I have been? What the hell are you doing here Cassandra Potts?!" He roared, taking a few by surprise.

"Full names... really?" Cassie cringed.

Before he could explode any more there was a loud smash before a large figure snatched Loki and flew back out.

"Another Asgardian?" Natasha queried, the argument momentarily forgotten as Cassie went to hide again.

"Think the guys friendly?" Steve added.

"Doesn't matter. If he frees Loki, or kills him - the tesseract is lost." He turned and got ready to go after them and then turned to Cassandra who was searching the helicarrier for another hiding spot.
"We haven't finished." Tony grumbled at her before flying out after the two men.

"Great. Just really fantastic."
