I do not own The Avengers. I only own Tiffani.

"Miss, I'm sorry but we're closing the library now. You can't stay overnight, even though you've attempted that many times," the librarian said tiredly to Tiffani, who was sitting at a table surrounded by many Norse mythology books.

Tiffani could not help herself after hearing about Thor being on Earth. She had always loved Norse mythology, and she devoted most of her time to studying the legends, especially after hearing about Thor being on Earth. She could hardly believe it, but being honest she would have preferred Loki.

"Come on, I even brought a sleeping bag this time," Tiffani said with a fake whine before smirking at the librarian, who was a kind old woman. "I'll even tidy up the place some for you," she offered to try to get more time refreshing her memory about the legends. She had been getting calls and emails from Jane, one of her colleagues in the love of Norse mythology, who wanted to know her opinion on the gate and different things about the brothers. Tiffani would be lying if she said she wasn't jealous about Jane meeting Thor, but she kept her jealousy to herself, even though she did happily prank Jane as many times as she could for payback.

"Out missy," the librarian said sternly even though there was a happy twinkle in her eye. The old woman had begrudgingly learned to enjoy the young woman's presence, even if the girl drove her batty.

"All right, see you tomorrow," Tiffani said cheerfully before putting on her coat and heading out of the library. The streets were definitely not busy since she lived in a small town in the middle of nowhere Georgia. She liked where she lived, but she had thought about moving in with Jane just so the two friends could talk about their research more. "Time to go back home, I guess," she muttered and ran to her car before making the short drive home.

Her mother and brother were on a trip at the time so she was going home to an empty house, but that was fine with her. She would totally be running around in boxers, long socks, and a button up most of the time just to pay tribute to an old Tom Cruise movie. She locked her car and opened the garage but froze when the door leading into the house was opened. "Fantastic, if they touched my books, my computer, my video games, or my food, I'm killing them, don't even care about morality, I'm killing them," she growled as she picked up the metal baseball bat from inside the garage before entering the house.

People in her neighborhood knew not to mess with her, her family, or her home, so this idiot was in for a world of hurt. She had no clue who would try to break into her home, but unfortunately and strangely enough, the alarm system had not been triggered. "Cancelling and changing that soon," she thought annoyed as she walked into the kitchen. Thankfully, her delicious veggie straws and dark chocolate were still there, but now for the bigger concern, her books and electronics.

The house was completely silent, but she kept the bat ready to swing as she entered her bedroom. She slowly pushed the door open and frowned when she did not see anybody inside. "Nice collection," a male voice said behind her and she spun around swinging the bat as hard as she could, which was pretty hard since she did softball growing up.

"Hey, wait," the man yelled in fear and shock as he ducked out of the way and rolled on the floor to create distance between the two.

"Who the hell are you and why are you in my house?" Tiffani growled as she took in the sight of the man wearing a suit, which reminded her of the agents from the movie Men in Black. "I'm waiting," she snapped when the man took a few seconds to straighten out his suit.

"I'm Agent Coulson, I'm with a secret agency that was created to protect the Earth, and I came here for your help," the man said quickly when he saw that the woman was about to take another swing at him with the bat.

"Does this have anything to do with my research about why the Norse gods have the powers they do, more particularly Thor and Loki?" Tiffani asked a little bored even though on the inside she was excited at the hope that maybe she would be able to meet the gods if she went with this agent.

"That's actually the exact reason why I'm here. We've been following you and your research with Jane, the woman who met Thor on his first visit here, and your information is more imperative to our operation right now. We need your help, will you join us?" he spoke as he slowly approached Tiffani.

"When do we leave?" she asked with a smirk at the surprised look on the agent's face.

"As soon as you have gotten some stuff and your research packed," the agent said before pulling out a phone to contact headquarters. He watched Tiffani disappear into her room and shut the door. His eyes widened a bit when he heard her talking about if she should pack her Batman boxers or her normal pajamas. "What a strange girl," he thought even though he truly did not know the half of what he was about to bring to the helicarrier.

"So it's kind of creepy that you guys have been keeping tabs on me," Tiffani said while looking out the window at the ocean below. She was riding in a jet with Agent Coulson to this top secret headquarters. She was excited to see what was going to happen there, but she already knew she was going to piss off some people, mostly on purpose.

"Your research was too in-depth for us to pass up, anyways it will come in handy with stopping Loki," Agent Coulson told her to let her know just a bit of what Fury would be telling her later with the other Avengers. She was not going to be an Avenger since she did not have a power, but her intellect would come in handy.

"Wait a second, did you just say the name I thought you just said?" she whispered with a twisted glee of excitement in her eyes.

"Yes, Loki is on Earth trying to take over the world and we need your help on how to stop him and his powers," Agent Coulson said before scooting back in his seat when Tiffani cheered loudly.

"This is going to be so much fun, I get to meet Loki, he's my favorite," she said happily while looking at the large ship sitting in the water in front of the jet.

"Maybe this might be a mistake," Agent Coulson thought but it was too late to change any of Fury's plans now.
