((It’s never really a problem until I have multiple of them in one room together and then it gets a bit difficult. lol))
Carter Eilian
Location: SHIELD headquarters | Tags: Harley & Loki
Carter wanted to be able to fully trust everyone who he was working with, but how could he feel that amount of certainty with the knowledge that any of his teammates could be an enemy in disguise? It would be nice if SHIELD actually was able to completely eliminate any HYDRA members hidden among them, but Harley was probably right in her belief that there was no way to be entirely sure about their success in doing so. Even if they did somehow manage to accomplish it, there would always be that little nagging voice in the back of their minds telling them that there might have been more that they could’ve missed. Having Harley identify people would be incredibly helpful. And it also would have been useful if they’d been able to get Oliver to identify newer ones which might have entered the picture after Harley had turned to SHIELD’s side. There was no point in dwelling on what opportunities they’d lost, though. Maybe they would be able to get Oliver back, and maybe not. They’d have to move forward either way and try to do the best that they could to finally snuff out the terrorist group. In spite of such troubling thoughts, Carter couldn’t help but to smile just slightly when he caught Harley doing the same, her wink of encouragement lightening the tense atmosphere by at least a small degree. He once more wondered if they would use the Cradle or some of their similar technology to help her mend quicker. He couldn't imagine her wanting to remain cooped up in the med bay for long.
Nick Fury

Fury glanced toward Lincoln when he began speaking. It was still a disappointment to learn that some of what he considered to be his best agents weren't able to take down the threat, but they would just have to be better prepared for the next time something like this happened. "Everyone has a weakness. We'll figure what Fenrir and Evelyn's are, and then this won't happen again." He stated, just a hint of warning to his tone. Even though no one had really been pinned with the blame, Fury had still gotten the distinct impression from Harley's explanation that some of the group had put in far more effort than others. He wasn't going to press it, though, so long as a repeat didn't happen down the road. As Harley spoke up, stating that every exit should be sealed, Fury gave a nod of agreement. "Most exits have been secured by now." He swiped at a tablet on his desk and then pressed his thumb against the screen. "And that was just the last of them. We're now in full lockdown mode, though our cameras are also back up and no one has seen a trace of them for sometime now. They've probably already left the building." He said, rather frustrated by that unfortunate fact. It would have been far more convenient had their lockdown managed to trap the escaping HYDRA members. "It won't be entirely impossible to figure out where they've gone, but without a tracer on them it's not going to be easy."
Loki Odinson
Location: SHIELD headquarters | Tags: Harley & Jormungandr & Carter & Fury
It was an actual effort to keep his breathing steady. Those around him were speaking, but he was hardly listening. Sleipnir had just been stolen again like a piece of property, and that was not supposed to have even been possible. “SHIELD was supposed to keep Sleipnir safe. That was what we had agreed to. That was our deal.” Loki voiced, his tone quiet, but seething and dangerous. His hands clenched and unclenched, the seidr blanketing Harley reacting to his distress by thrumming slightly, as if even his magic had grown tense and restless. The blonde agent muttered something about it maybe being easier for SHIELD to keep Sleipnir safe if Loki had also worked a bit harder to take down Fenrir, and Loki wanted nothing more than to throttle him in that moment, because Carter was right. And it hurt. The Jotun’s magic sparked and his eyes grew more green than blue as he glared at Carter, though the brown-eyed man was not even meeting his gaze. His eyes were on Harley, frowning as Loki’s magic swirled. The god was not hurting her, though. Much as his seidr appeared to be growing more threatening in nature, Loki was still for the most part keeping it in check.
Evelyn had said that they would not take Sleipnir. What had happened to that assurance? Had Fenrir gone against her wishes, or had she simply lied? Loki wanted to bolt from the room and search for them. To take Sleipnir back without a single care as to who stood in the way of it. But they were gone from the building now. His son was gone. Loki's mind raced as he considered all of his options. Even if he found out where they had taken Sleipnir, he couldn’t go alone. That was for certain. As humiliating as it was to admit that he required help, going alone would be an awful idea. Fenrir was extremely powerful, he couldn't rely on sentiment with Evelyn anymore, and Loki also could not underestimate HYDRA again. They had clearly done their research on him before they’d held him captive, as evident by their decision to shock him into compliance once they did obtain him. And now they had even more knowledge of his biology and what chemicals his body reacted poorly to. They knew far too much about him now, and it was more than a little unnerving how adept at overpowering him that knowledge would likely make them. “What ways are there to know of their location, or of where they might be heading?” Loki asked to no one in particular, unsure which of them might know more about HYDRA. He would have assumed it to be Fury before, but now it appeared that Harley might be the more knowledgeable of the bunch. His voice had steadied, carefully flat, as did his seidr by some degree. He was still internally panicking, but had managed to stop such emotions from bleeding so strongly to the surface.
