As everybody sat down Fury said "Diana can you use the lasso of truth on Loki to figure his plan out?"

"Sure."

Diana went to the cage and everybody sat in their places to see what plans did Loki have with the Cube and how does he plan to bring the army to Earth. As soon as Diana went inside the cage Loki knew what Diana was here for.

"You must be really desperate to even use the Lasso on me." Loki said. Diana didn't utter a word and wrapped Loki in lasso as he didn't resist at all.

"What are your plans with the Tesseract?"

Loki tried stopping himself from uttering but no matter how he tried he couldn't stop himself from saying

"I just plan to bring the Chitauri to Earth. The other processes are handled by Erik as I don't understand Earth's science as it is too backward."

"How do you plan to bring the army?" Diana continued.

"I have no idea. I didn't ask. I knew that I might be caught and be used the lasso so I deliberately avoided the whole plan" Loki said and this time with a huge smile.

"Why did you let yourself get caught so easily?"

"So that I can manipulate all of you and break you all from inside. Well that was the plan but it seems it's out of the window now." Loki said. Diana just looked at him for few seconds and even tightened the rope around Loki but it result to anything. With a sigh Diana came back to the bridge.

"I tried, he knew I would use the lasso on him so he took measures against it."

"It seems like we need to depend on ourselves to find the Cube as fast as possible." Fury said with an exhaustion. Tony and Bruce both did their homework on the notes of Erik Selvig so they were ready to assist Banner in search of it. John decided to follow them to the laboratory and see even with the absence of influence of scepter if Banner transforms.

Banner and everybody started working on finding while Tony was being a little jumpy. John knew that Tony had already started hacking into the files of SHIELD about the Tesseract as he felt that Nick's theory of using clean energy from Tesseract to fuel the world was a lie.

As Tony was having fun with Banner by giving him a mild electric shock, Steve barged in. "Hey. Are you nuts? Is everything a joke to you?"

"Funny things are!" Tony replied.

"Threatening the lives of everybody on the ship isn't funny. Just focus on finding the Tessearct" Steve said

"You think I am not? We are already sweeping the entire planet to find the Tesseract. But Captain have you never doubted Fury? Why call us now? Not before? Jarvis is already running through the files of SHIELD. Don't believe me? Ask Wayne and Banner. Even John can say that something is wrong with Fury approaching us now."

Steve turned towards Bruce who was listening and working in his place beside. "Bruce what do you think?"

"A spy who doesn't have secrets isn't a good spy. There must always be a Plan B for organizations like this. I am just guessing if we are Plan A or Plan B?" Bruce said with a flat tone.

"Doctor what do you think?" Steve asked.

"Umm... Tony has been the forefront of clean energy for a time now. If they really wanted clean energy why not bring Tony before? What is he hiding?" Steve looked at John who was eating snacks provided by Tony. He just shrugged his shoulders stating that he accepts whatever they said.

"Just find the Tesseract" Steve left saying that but talking with the other three made him doubt and he went to find out if SHIELD was hiding something.

After half an hour SHIELD got to know that a virus had infiltrated the files of it and Fury knew instantly who was behind it. He went directly to the laboratory to confront Tony.

"What are you doing Mr. Stark?"

"Kind of wondering same thing about yourself" Tony replied.

"You are supposed on finding the Tesseract?"

"We are already searching the whole planet for it. When we get a hit we will have the location within half a mile."

"Yeah it will be soon. But tell me Fury. What is "phase 2'?" Tony asked looking at the screen.

"Phase 2 is using the Tesseract to make weapons." Steve said as he entered the laboratory and placed a weapon in front of them.

"SHIELD has made missiles and other kinds of weapons with the help of the Tesseract" It was Wayne who spoke this time.

"I would like to know why SHIELD is using the Tesseract for making weapons of mass destruction." Banner pointed out the screen. By this time Diana, Thor and even Natasha joined in.

"Because of him." Fury said as he pointed towards Thor.
