Thor stood in the control room of the S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier, his blue eyes scanning the clouds outside. To his left, Bruce Banner and Natasha Romanoff sat at a small table as Steve Rogers and Director Fury were talking off to the side.

"Well I hope someone has a default plan." Tony Stark announced as he sauntered into the room with a smirk on his face. "Just in case this miracle girl doesn't arrive."

"She'll be here." Thor replied, turning his attention away from the window. "I know of it."

"How are you so sure she'll show?" Tony questioned. "If I was a goddess and had powers, I'd definitely try to avoid a top secret government agency."

"Tony may be right." Bruce began fiddling with his hands atop the table. "I know how hard I fought to stay away from S.H.I.E.L.D. over the past few years. What makes you think she won't try to avoid them as well?"

"I have faith Alessandra will show. She's a dear friend. We can trust her."

"Trust is not something that can be taken easily, pointbreak." Tony cocked his head to the side in a teasing manner. "Here on earth, we tend to not put it in magical people from other planets."

"Asgard is not a planet. It's-"

"Enough." Nick Fury commanded, stepping away from Steve and walking closer to the quarreling superheroes. "I knew this option was going to be a long shot, but since it seems to be the only one we've got, I'm willing to place some of my cards in this girl's pile. If she's Asgardian, she might know how to deal with Loki."

"I can assure you Director Fury, Alessandra will be able to help us. She knows Loki better than anyone." Thor nodded assuringly.

"I'll believe it when I see it." Stark commented, sliding into a chair besides Bruce and kicking his feet up onto the table.

The second black smoke appeared in the center of the room, swirling around until it had become large enough to conceal a person, everyone froze. As Alessandra slowly appeared behind the thick cloud, the Avengers stood at alert, minus Stark, who clumsily stumbled from his chair, earning a chuckle on Bruce's behalf and an eye roll on Natasha's. As they stared at the small girl that had appeared out of thin air, Thor grinned happily and went over to greet her.

"I knew you'd come."

"We had a deal." She replied, her amber eyes scanning over the mass of agents in the room.

"You really do have magic." Bruce stepped curiously away from the table. "That's incredible."

Alessandra hummed softly. "I'm assuming Thor filled you in."
