I left Stark tower.

Scratch that, I was escorted out of Stark tower by the security team. Tony didn't say anything about Loki, but I didn't know if he would in the future. Loki refused to leave my side. Instead he shifted back into Lokitty and hissed at anyone who got too close. Before I left I reminded Tony about making something to get the Aether out of my system. He didn't answer. He wouldn't even look at me.

I left with the clothes on my back, my cellphone, and Lokitty. That was it. I didn't have anything, or anyone else in this world.

I walked to the closest park and sat on a bench. Lokitty jumped up next to me as I put my head down into my hands and cried. A few seconds, and a flash of green later, two strong arms wrapped around me. I turned and clung to the leather of Loki's shirt as I cried. It was still dark out, so I wasn't too worried about anyone recognizing us.

"You should have let me take the fall." Loki murmured and kissed the crown of my head. I quickly shook my head and pulled back from him.

"I told you that if they ever found out that we'd deal with it together." I sniffled. "Throwing you under the bus is not dealing with it together."

Loki looked at me with a sad smile on his face.

"Yes, but I know how much your friendship with them means." He told me and brushed some hair out of my face.

"You mean more." I pouted. Loki chuckled and tilted my head up to kiss me.

"So, what's your plan now?" Loki asked after pulling away from a sweet kiss. I took a deep breath.

"Now," I sighed. "We start operation Winter soldier. It's a bit early, but that's probably for the best." I nodded to myself. "I just need to get in contact with Fury." I mumbled and took out my phone.

I looked through the contacts until 'Cyclops' came up. I snorted at the nickname and hit the call button. It rang twice before a voice, that would always scare the shit out of me, answered.

"It is four in the goddamn morning. Who is this? You better have a good reason for wakin' my ass up." Fury told me.

"It's Sammee, and, ya, I have a good reason." I said and looked to Loki hesitantly.

There was a jet touching down in the middle of the park within twenty minutes. I explained the plan before telling Loki to shift back into Lokitty if he wanted to come with. He, of course, did, so I walked onto the jet with a furry black cat in my arms.

I was greeted by two agents wearing all black. One was female while the other was male. They didn't say anything to me, so I sat in silence as the jet flew to D.C.

It didn't take long until we touched down on the roof of S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters. The two agent escorted me into the building and to an elevator. The elevator went down a few floors before coming to a stop. When the doors opened the agents didn't move.

"Director Fury would like to speak with you alone." The female agent told me. I nodded and thanked them before stepping off of the elevator with Lokitty still in my arms. There was a large office in front of me. It was mostly made of glass. I pushed open the glass door and saw Fury standing with his back to me. His hand were behind his back as he watched the sun come up over the city skyline.

"You said it was important," Fury started and turned to me, "so, talk."

"It is important." I told him. I set Lokitty down on one of the chairs and signed for a piece of paper to write on. "I wanted to talk to you about the alien invasion." I shook my head no as I said it. Fury started to catch on and walked over to his desk. He grabbed a notebook and a pen and handed it to me.

'Ears everywhere', I wrote and turned the notebook around for him to read.

"What about the invasion?" Fury asked. I quickly wrote down four words and handed it back to him.

'James Barnes is alive'

"Loki wasn't behind the invasion." I said as he read over my words. I figured I might as well kill two birds with one stone. Fury's eye widened at the written words. He quickly wrote something and handed it back to me.

'How?'

"Really, and how do you know that?" Fury asked in response to the invasion conversation.

'Hydra'

I handed the notebook back to Fury.

"The scepter was influencing Loki's mind." I explained.

"Influencing, not controlling." Fury countered.

'Hydras extinct'

"The scepter helped plant the idea in Loki's mind. It made him believe that he wanted it." I told Fury.

'Negative. They have been hiding and growing. They have even infiltrated shield'

Fury read my answer and frowned deeply.

'Who?'

"So you're saying that Loki is innocent?" Fury asked.

'Butterfly effect, can't tell you.' I wrote.

"Not entirely, but he didn't attack New York of his own free will." I continued. Fury looked at the notebook and rolled his eyes.

'Fine, what do you need from me?'

"You sound like you've been in contact with him." Fury said and sat down in the chair at his desk.

'Help infiltrating Hydra.'

I handed Fury the notebook back and then looked to Lokitty. Lokitty jumped off the chair he was sitting on and walked behind me. After a small flash of green, I felt Loki's arm go around my waist and his chest press against my back.

"That's because she has." Loki told Fury. Fury's reaction to Loki was immediate. He dropped the notebook, stood up, and pulled his gun.

"Bitch, what the fuck!" Fury yelled as he aimed at Loki.

"More important things, Fury." I reminded.

"More important that catching the worlds most wanted?" Fury asked me angrily before looking at Loki's arm around my waist. "You're fucking the enemy." Fury accused. I rolled my eyes at his vulgarness.

"Fury, he's been here since the invasion. He could have done anything but chose to stay and help me."

"And you expect me to believe he did that out of good will?" Fury asked.

"Oh, no, there was nothing good about my intentions." Loki smirked and tightened his grip on my waist. I elbowed him and heard a slight 'oof' from behind me.

"Really?" I asked Loki. "You're not helping." I sighed and stepped forward. I slowly reached out and grabbed the notebook and pen.

'Loki can help as his pardon. Trust no one, but Hill!' I wrote and slid it back to Fury. He looked down at the notebook to read it. He took a deep breath before glaring at me. I leaned back over and took the notebook again.

'I need to cut all ties with shield and the Avengers. I need you to arrest us, but make it so we can escape. Make it look good.'

I showed Loki the message before putting it on the desk for Fury to read. Loki rubbed his thumb over my stomach to let me know he understood.

"I'll do this with or without you." I said to Fury. He understood its double meaning and looked up to me. "Understand?"

Fury nodded slowly.

"Oh, I understand perfectly." He told me before the first shot of his gun was heard.
