The Café

Warnings: None

Copyright: I do not own any Marvel characters or locations. However, I do own my OCs, which consist of Penny Fury, Elizabeth Nelson, Elijah Chan, Katya Venice, Violetta Moscow, Lan Le, Josh, Trang Tien, Ahni Jallow, Mai Ito, and Ghaida Kashual as well as other OCs that will come up throughout the story.

"Hey! Elizabeth!"

Elizabeth turned in surprise and then felt apprehensive and angry when she saw Sharon approaching her from down the hallway. She crossed her arms over her chest, "What, Sharon?"

"Look, I just wanted to say that I was sorry for what I said during your announcement. I wasn't thinking clearly." Sharon said quickly. "I was just trying to think of a solution and I spoke aloud-"

"Look, if you just want to talk to me so that I can help you get back into the good graces' of Steve, you've got another thing coming." Elizabeth said forcefully. "Steve is never going to forgive you for what you did. He really did love you and he's always wanted kids. You should never have gone behind his back and killed his child."

Sharon's face twitched. She was clearly annoyed. "For one thing, it's my body so I had every right to do what I did. And for another, I'm not here to get back in Steve's good graces. Not through you, anyways. I just wanted to apologize for what I said. It was inconsiderate."

"Well, I accept your apology on that front." Elizabeth replied stiffly. She turned to leave and Sharon then asked, "Would you think about going out to eat with me?"

Elizabeth spun in surprise once more, "Why?"

Sharon hesitated and opened her mouth to speak, but suddenly there was a roar of lightning and then there was a flash of rainbow light outside of the windows of the Tower.

"What was that?" Sharon asked in fear, hands going to her gun.

"Heimdall." Elizabeth said with a serene smile. And without another look at Sharon, she ran for the elevator to get to the bottom floor.

Sharon glared after her.

"Heimdall!" Elizabeth jumped into his arms. The dark skinned Asgardian held onto her tightly, before kissing her forehead gently.

"Hello love." Heimdall answered softly. "I am glad to see that you are still here."

"What do you mean?" Elizabeth asked curiously.

"As I was getting ready to visit today, I saw a terrible vision of you going out to eat with Sharon Carter. You were ambushed by your mother and Sharon was put into the hospital while you were taken." Heimdall answered slowly.

Elizabeth paled a little and then said, "That must mean my mother is in New York! I must tell Tony so he can track her! C'mon!"

Heimdall followed Elizabeth as she ran down to Tony's lab. She paused when she saw that it wasn't empty. Tony and Trang were in a screaming match with each other. Riri was smirking in the background, keeping her head bent over whatever she was working on. Bruce meanwhile, had a hand over his face and kept trying to back up Trang.

"Um-" Elizabeth interrupted.

Trang, seething, stormed out of the lab. Elizabeth watched her go by with worry.

"Yeah?" Tony asked angrily.

"Heimdall said that my mother is in New York. I was just. . . hoping you could track her." Elizabeth replied timidly. She didn't fear Tony's dominance as much as say, Loki or Bucky or Steve, but she didn't want to make him upset with her either.

"So?" Tony asked aggressively, still pissed off at whatever Trang and him had fought about, "It's not like we're going to find her. That's useless information."

Elizabeth recoiled and quickly left the room.

"That was stupid." Heimdall said, before following the ice princess out of the room.

"Elizabeth?" Heimdall caught up to her as she stepped into the elevator.

"He's right." Elizabeth said, looking away from him. "It's useless information. I should go and ask Sharon to that lunch so that-"

"Absolutely not." Heimdall said firmly, stepping in front of her so that he could make her look at him. "I will not allow you to put yourself in harms way just because Stark upset you a little. Your mother will be found a different way, and one that does not involve you being in danger."

He could feel Elizabeth's desperation rolling off of her in waves. She was feeling useless, which he knew was partly his fault as it was his child keeping her from being able to protect herself with her powers.

"YEAH!" Elizabeth snarled, mostly to herself. "Well maybe a little danger would open Anthony's eyes, wouldn't it?"

She stalked out of the elevator and he followed once more. The super soldiers, Rhodey, Pietro, Natasha, Wanda, Loki, Katya, and Trang were in the room.

"Heimdall." Loki stated in surprise, "What are you doing here?"

"I had yet to visit Elizabeth and see her after I found out she is having my child." Heimdall answered slowly. "And my visit was sped up through a vision I saw."

"What was the danger?" Natasha asked immediately.

"Sharon was going to take Elizabeth out to lunch." Heimdall answered, watching Elizabeth sink down into an arm chair by herself, wrapping her arms around herself. "And then her mother ambushed the two of them and took her captive. Carter would end up in the hospital."

"YES!" Bucky said enthusiastically and then asked, "Did she die?"

Steve cleared his throat angrily and Bucky sunk down a little. "Can we track her mother then? Cause she has to be in New York for that to happen."

"Anthony said there is no point." Elizabeth bit out, staring at the wall.

"What?" Katya and Natasha gasped at the same time.

"Ugh." Trang groaned, "That's my fault. He's so angry with me that he's taking it out on you. Listen, I'll track your mother down, promise."

Elizabeth shook her head as Elijah and Lan entered the room, "It's whatever. Anthony's right. There's no point."

"Hey!" Bucky said angrily. "There is a point! Finding Lucinda and putting her behind bars would mean you would get to go home!"

"James!" Elijah snapped angrily. "Stop getting her hopes up! She's been off radar-"

"She's in New York right now." Steve interrupted. "But Tony is refusing to track her down."

Elijah's eyes were suddenly alight with flame. He didn't even bother using a door, flaming up and flying out the window, presumably to either go and track down Lucinda himself, or to go down to the lab and kill Tony.

"Maybe," Elizabeth said, perking up. "Sharon and I could still go out to eat, but you could all be in the background-"

"NO!" Steve, Bucky, Heimdall, and Pietro all shouted.

Elizabeth scowled.

"Wait!" Katya said in excitement, "Lan or Loki could pretend to be Elizabeth and go with Sharon instead!"

Everyone looked around, "You know what." Loki said slowly, "That's really not a bad idea. Elizabeth?"

She hesitated and then said, "Okay. But please. Heimdall said she managed to capture me and put Sharon in the hospital. Please be careful Loki."

"Of course I will pet." Loki said, kissing the top of her head. Carefully, he turned himself into Elizabeth for every detail. Shrinking down, his black hair becoming longer and turning brown. His stomach bumping out a little. Eventually, he was an identical copy.

"That's amazing." Elizabeth said in awe.

"Alright, I'll see you when I get back with a new prisoner." Loki said darkly and then left the room.

"I'm gonna go back down to the lab and tell them the plan." Trang sighed, "And possibly consider the idea of apologizing to that asshole."

Rhodey chuckled, "I'll go with you and hopefully be a mitigator."

"And I should probably go down too to convince Elijah not to kill Tony." Lan sighed. The three of them left the room.

"I'm gonna go take a nap." Elizabeth said softly and looked over at Heimdall, "Do you. . . want to come upstairs?"

"Yes, but I must find Thor first." Heimdall said, getting up from where he had been sitting down, coming over to her. "I will be there in ten or twenty minutes."

Elizabeth smiled and he felt a warmth spread through him. She was not his soulmate, but he loved her as though she was.

She left the room and he looked at the others, "Do any of you know where Thor is?"

"I think he's in the training room?" Sam asked questioningly. "Hey F.R.I.D.A.Y., where's Thor?"

"On the grounds Mr. Wilson." F.R.I.D.A.Y. answered.

Heimdall bowed his head slightly in thanks, and then headed downstairs to find him.

"Where are we going to eat?" Loki, who was still disguised as Elizabeth, asked Sharon.

"I figured just down the street at the bakery." Sharon said, clearly uncomfortable. Loki thought it was strange that the blonde Agent had asked Elizabeth to eat if she was uncomfortable around her.

"Why'd you want to do this? You clearly don't want to." Loki said bluntly.

Sharon flushed a little, "Like I said, I was inconsiderate with how I spoke the other day. This is just a sorry thing. That's all. I'm not trying to be your friend."

"Okay." Loki answered and stayed quiet.

The bakery in question was actually one of Elizabeth's favorites. Whenever someone did actually manage to piss her off and couldn't fix it with sex, they brought her here and treated her and she always forgave them. Loki smiled a little.

"What are you going to get?" Sharon asked as they stepped into the café. "It's my treat, of course."

Loki thought for a moment, knowing he had to go with something that Elizabeth would eat, not himself. She didn't like nuts or any sort of dessert with fruit in it. He scanned the items and said, "I think I'm going to get the extra large cinnamon roll."

Sharon nodded, "Okay, I'll go and get that. How about you find a table so you're not on your feet for too long?"

Loki nodded and decided to get a table that wasn't close to the windows, and sat in the seat so that he could face the windows and see out of them.

Sharon came back with the large cinnamon roll. She herself had gotten a small chocolate dessert.

Loki kept his eyes flickering to the windows, perhaps a bit to much because Sharon noticed, "Am I making you nervous? I'm sorry. I really am just trying to apologize."

"No." Loki said in a soft voice that he knew Elizabeth would have done at that exact moment, "I know. I'm the one who should apologize. Heimdall came down today and said that he had a vision that my mother was in New York. I guess I'm just nervous, being out of the tower, that's all."

Sharon's eyes widened. "Did you tell Fury? That's something he should know, isn't it?"

"I think Tony is trying to track her down." Loki lied. "I'm sure someone will tell Fury."

"I'm surprised they let you out of the tower knowing that your mother was around." Sharon said, narrowing her eyes and Loki cursed internally because Elizabeth always called Fury 'Nick' and she always called Tony 'Anthony'.

Loki shrugged, "I'm sure I'll pay for sneaking out later." He gave Sharon a small smile, "I don't like being on the wrong foot with people."

Sharon nodded and then Loki caught sight of Lucinda, lurking out of the windows. He averted his eyes, making it seem like he was only paying attention to the dessert. It was really just to sweet, how did Elizabeth like this?

A shot rang out and he ducked immediately under the table, kicking out Sharon's chair at the same time.

"Stay down!" Loki shouted, trying to keep up Elizabeth's façade. It was a good thing that she couldn't use her powers while pregnant, otherwise, Sharon would probably be wondering why he wasn't using the water powers.

Sharon drew her gun, shooting towards Lucinda who ducked away. Loki dropped the illusion and Sharon shouted in shock. "Loki!"

"Sorry. Would've told you but I didn't want to put you on edge." Loki admitted. "Heimdall told us that he had foreseen you and Elizabeth being captured and hurt. So I'm here to prevent that."

"A little warning would have been nice!" Sharon muttered, shooting again.

Loki ran for the window, jumping out of it and following Lucinda, who was on the run now.

Lucinda bared her teeth as Loki gained on her and then ducked down an alleyway. Loki dodged when she shot an electric blast towards him and drew his knives. "Where's my daughter?"

"Never here." Loki said, transforming into Elizabeth and then back into himself. "You can come quietly, or I'll take you by force. Whatever the saying on Midgard is anyway."

Lucinda grinned and more agents came through the alleyway. There were at least twenty and it was a small space to fight in. Loki tensed.

"Now," Lucinda said, walking backwards so that she could get away. "You can either try and keep chase with me, or you can get back to the tower. I'm always prepared, Loki of Jötunheimar . I sent someone else to go after her there, just in case. He might even have her right now."

Loki hesitated and then ducked as he was shot at again. Lucinda was already disappearing and the HYDRA agents were converging on her. He fought against them, feeling a panic that he needed to get back to the tower, before suddenly realizing that no one had gone after Elizabeth at all. She had been trying to distract him so that she could get away.

And as he slit the throat of the last guard, all of them laying at his feet, he knew that she had succeeded.

Elizabeth left the common room after the others had gone down to Tony's lab. She was glad that Heimdall was here, because she really wanted to talk to him about their child. For Elijah and Bucky, they were always here in the tower so there was no question about if they were going to be around or not.

But Heimdall? He always had to be on Asgard. He was their primary defense. He was their seer into the future. He had to stay on Asgard, even if he wanted to be here. So how would he spend time with his child? Would she have to take their child to Asgard? Would their child stay on Asgard? She didn't want to be parted from the child, that was for sure.

Elizabeth sighed, cracking her neck as she stepped out of the elevator. She was feeling to tired to really deal with the hard questions right now. Hopefully Heimdall and Thor would finish their conversation soon and he would cuddle her to sleep. She definitely wouldn't mind staring into his beautiful yellow eyes as she drifted off.

The door behind her opened, which was strange because this floor was for her, Elijah, Katya, and Lan only. There were some empty rooms, but no one stayed in those. Elijah and Lan were in the lab and she'd left Katya in the community room. So-

She felt something prick her neck, and everything went black.
