A few days later we sit around the couch again, this time for a more serious reason. We're going over everything we know about Loki.

"So last time he tried to take over New York... what was the motive?" I try and start to conversation.

"My brother searches for power and control." Thor replies.

I nod. "So he's like any other evil dictator dude." I shrug. "Anything else?"

"His scepter has some kind of mind control ability, similar to Wanda." Clint jumps in. "Little bastard used it on me." He says angrily.

"He can create these projections of himself, they aren't physically there but they look real." Nat says.

Only about half the team had ever dealt with Loki before, so to most of us this was all new.

"Dude sounds like an asshole." I laugh.

"I wouldn't quite put it that way." Says a voice from the kitchen.

I whip around to see the man from the device.

"So we meet again." I say and raise an eyebrow.

The man smirks. "Ah you're the midguardian that was given the powers."

I stand up. "Yea well given isn't the way I would put it. More like forced." I scoff.

"Brother?" I hear Thor ask from behind me.

This just makes Loki's smirk grow. " Miss me?" He asks and shrugs his arms.

Thor rushes up to him and lifts him by his shirt. Except instead of actually lifting him, his arm fazes through his chest.

"You didn't think I would actually come did you brother? You may be a god, but you are incredibly stupid." He laughs.

Thor backs away.

"What do you want reindeer games?" Tony finally asks.

Loki makes a disgusted face. He points to me. "That belongs to me. "

I scoff. "Look, you may be from space or some shit but i'm tired of being controlled. I'm not anyone's toy or weapon. Not anymore."

He grins. "Feisty. I like her."

Gross.

"You're not taking her." Steve says and stands beside me.

I look at him and smile, then I turn back to Loki.

"Oh i'm not here to take her now, no. I'm just here as a distraction." He says before vanishing.

"Shit" Sam says under his breath.

"JARVIS, do an analysis of the lab." Tony says angrily.

"Sir, it's seems several things are missing. Captain rogers shield, agent barton's bow and arrows, Natashas weapons, Mr. Wilson's wings, and Mr. Starks suit." JARVIS replies.

"Damn it" Steve says.

Everyone falls back onto the couch.

"So I guess he wasn't just here to brag." Nat sighs.

"Now what?" Wanda asks.

"Well now i'm pissed." Sam responds.

"JARVIS, search the database and all security cam footage for Loki. Tell me if you find anything." He says before putting his head in his hands.

I stand from the couch and leave the room.

"Y/n." I hear Steve call.

I ignore him and continue until I reach the gym. I wrap my fists in athletic tape and hang a bag on the hook on the ceiling.

I start punching as hard as I could. What did Loki want with me? Did he want to control me too? Just like HYDRA did. Was he gonna turn me against my friends again? Nearly kill me?

No. Try if he wanted to but I wouldn't let him. I wouldn't let him control me. I wouldn't let anyone else control me. I am no longer a force to be reckoned with.

The punching bag flies off the handle and across the room as the insides spill onto the floor.

I stand there for a moment, panting and hunched over. I snap back into it and grab another bag. I hang that one up and continue punching.

No. No no no no. No more. That's all that goes through my head as I starts punching even harder. Images run through head and I get lost in thought. My hair falls in my face as I work harder.

A few minutes later someone grabs my hands mid punch. I try to pull away but they don't let me. I look up at them and it's Steve again.

"Y/n, what are you doing?? Calm down." He says worriedly.

"I'm just getting out some steam, i'm fine." I say and try to pull away again.

I tightens his grip on my hands and I wince.

"Ow!" I gasp.

He loosens his grip and lifts my hands into my vision.

My athletic tape on my fists was covered in splotches of blood. I furrow my eyebrows. I hadn't even noticed.

He pulls my hands into his chest. I look up at him and he's obviously worried. I lean my head on his chest and he wraps his arms around me and rests his head on mine.

"It's gonna be ok. You know that right?" He assured me.

I laugh. "Yea I know, you're the Avengers so it's obviously gonna be fine."

He smiles and playfully rolls his eyes. I pull away and unwrap my hands. I throw the bloodied tape away and turn back to Steve.

"I'm gonna go clean up..." I say quietly.

He grabs my arm as I begin to walk away. "I'm here if you need me ok?" He says.

I nod and slightly smile. "I know."

I walk away from the gym and back to my room. Something inside of me was alien. These powers I was forcefully given had changed me. I sit on my bed and open my hands. A faint purple glow emits from my palms. I can't help but think of where I came from. I close my hands and scowl in disgust.

I bounce up from the bed and sneak back into the meeting room. Fury had left the device her for further observation if we needed. I opened the case and quickly stuffed the device in my shirt, hiding the glow.

I push my back to the wall and scurry back to my room. Once i'm inside I close and lock the door. I sit back onto my bed and pull the device out. I watch it glow in enchantment, then I tightly wrap my fingers around it.

I close my eyes and gasp. I'm back in the darkness.

"Loki?" I shout.

I slowly walk around. It's the same as last time, all darkness, nothing less.

I hear a noise from behind me and I whip around.  There he was. He raises his arms. "You called?" He says smiling.

I step towards him. He looks confused at how upfront I was.

"I didn't ask for this. No one asked for this. What do you want with Earth? What do you want with me?"  I scoff.

He steps closer to me until I can feel his breath on me. He lifts my chin so I look up at him. I scowl and pull away.

"You midguardians have no respect for gods. I only wish to enlighten them. To lead them to a better world." He says proudly.

"And with me?" I ask.

"I went through a good deal of trouble to let that HYDRA group experiment on you. I wanted them to succeed so I could change you humans. Make you truly powerful. Now, you're the weakest species, I could make you all strong, create my own army. Make you all kneel for me" He says as he paces.

I laugh. This causes him to turn and face me with a confused look. "Why do you laugh as I describe the downfall of humanity?" He asks disgusted.

"I laugh at the very thought of anyone ever kneeling for someone as evil and disgusting as you. You may think you have the upper hand here, but I assure you I know a lot of people willing to die to ensure you fail. I laugh as you think that you can't be defeated. You may think and act like your a god, but really you're just a puny man thinking they own the place." I hiss.

"Why have you come?" he asks, his patience obviously growing smaller.

I smile. "Just needed some information. Got what I needed."

He looks at me incredibly angry. Then his anger fades. "Very well then."

He disappears and I tilt my head.

"Surprise." I hear from behind me.

Before I can turn, he drives he scepter through my chest.

I scream and fall to my knees.
