Spiderwebs - Chapter 9
Natasha didn't even have time to process what was happening before they were interrupted by flashing lights and blaring alarms which had begun to sound all over the hallways. The placid mechanical voice of Jarvis, the robotic security sentinel, echoed around them, alerting everyone within earshot to an intruder on the floor. All was confusion and chaos.
"Damn," Loki hissed, pulling away from her.
"What's going on? I thought you were hidden from the security systems," Natasha whispered urgently, hoping her words wouldn't be picked up by a listening Tony Stark, or any other SHIELD operative, for that matter.

He knew every kind of agony the nine realms had to offer, but t
