(30) - Midgard and Messages

THiRD PERSON - ONE WEEK LATER

With Nadia's time up in Asgard, she had to return to Midgard. Very soon. She got a lot of things to take back with her, Thor helped her carry a lot of it. She bid her goodbyes with a few tears... okay there were a lot of tears. Thor even shed a few.

When she went to say goodbye to Loki he was actually somewhat nice...

TWO DAYS AGO

The prince paces his cell, with news the only person he's ever truly related to is leaving he was a bit saddened. Not a lot, but enough to be anxious that she wouldn't return to his cell. Loki was unsure as to why he felt the apprehension and attempted to ignore it; until he nearly tried to teleport out of his cell and into her room.

He fainted due to exhaustion but didn't regret it. Now he stood in the cage, staring longingly at the ceiling. Nadia didn't know that her room was right above the God of Mischief but he figured it out. "Boo." Loki spins on his heel, holding back a small smile.

"I heard that you were leaving?" It's more of a question than a statement.

"Yea, back to the city you tried to destroy." Nadia's smirk is both serious and sarcastic and it throws the prince off. "Just wanted to say bye, oh and that you can uh... kiss my ass," She blows a kiss and Loki stops her from leaving.

"I know how it feels to have that voice in your head!" Nadia stops mid-teleportation and raises a brow.

"Now you want to play nice? Pathetic, alright. Out with it."

Loki sighs and twitches his hand, "You should know that you have handled the influence much better than myself." Nadia nods.

"Of course I have. I didn't endanger millions... I may have killed one or two people... I try not to keep count." She's gone before Loki can explain more.

"Did he just... say something nice to me?" Nadia asks herself before shaking her head, "No... he couldn't have... huh..." She just shrugs her shoulders and continues packing her dresses.

THiRD PERSON ViEW - PRESENT DAY ON MiDGARD

"I can teleport this stuff inside, thanks, Thor." Thor shakes his head at the young girl.

"There is a lot here, I do not mind helping."

Nadia sighs, "Alright, come on..." Nadia leads the way inside the tower, FRIDAY greeting them.

"Ms. Nadia, you have returned. Would you like me to inform Mr. Stark of your arrival?" Nadia shakes her head at the interface.

"No thank you, where is he?" FRIDAY explains how he went on vacation as the pair carries in everything Nadia brought with her. "Thanks," Thor gives the girl a smile.

"Will you be alright on your own?" She thinks about it for a second.

"I can just get a hold of Steve or Natasha, I'm sure they're probably at the Avengers base anyways." She rambles and honestly, she isn't sure if she would be okay.

She missed Inky already and wanted some fruit from Asgard. "Oh, I just remembered–" Thor shoves a knapsack into the girl's arms, she opens it and inside is an array of Asgardian foods. She sets it on the bed and hugs the man's waist.

"Thanks, goldilocks, now go on. I will be fine." He pats Nadia's head and bid's goodbye.

Once she is sure he is gone she looks for her cellphone, she left it on Earth since phones don't work in the cosmos. "There you are!" She has gotten a habit of talking to things that won't speak back, mostly Inky but still... it's a bit odd. Nadia grabs the phone and dials Natasha's number. "You have reached an automated voicemail of–" She hangs up and tries Steve.

Nadia doesn't want to pester Tony while he is away... but that seems like the only option. Steve doesn't answer so she sets off for the compound. She grabs her weapons and a pack of dots.

When she reaches the parking garage something feels off, she put on her more casual suit which consisted of black jeans with the attachments to hold her sticks.

A tight dark green zip-up turtleneck jacket that is made of a very strong stretchy fabric. But she used an illusion spell to hide her weapons. Nadia pulls the hood over her head and slides onto the motorcycle. "I can do this..." She jumps up to kick start the engine and almost tips over.

"Whoops!" She yelps but a hand stopped her from falling. "Rumlow..." Nadia recognizes the man from the one meeting they had.

"Yep, Stark told me to check up on you when you returned." Nadia narrows her eyes at the man. Tony said he would make sure no one knew of her disappearance, including her father... and S.H.I.E.L.D. She raises an eyebrow,

"Did he now?" She knew he was lying, she just needed him to confirm his fib.

"He said you would be alone and since you're just a kid... you gotta crash at S.H.I.E.L.D., the triskelion." Nadia nods,

"Alright." She smiles and gets off the bike after hitting the kill switch. As soon as her feet hit the floor Rumlow grabs the back of her neck so she punches his in his throat. He gasps for air as Nadia elbows his eye then knees him in the groin.

She grabs a dagger and pushes it against his throat, Rumlow on his knees. "Put the guns down," Nadia threatens and presses it into the skin, Rumlow puts a hand up and she the sound of guns lowering meets her ears. "Bye boys," The look of confusion was worth it as she teleports to Central Park.

Nadia stumbles into a tree and rubs her head. The illusion of her weapons now gone since she used all her energy to teleport. "Nadia, can you hear me?" She jumps at the sound of Natasha's voice in her ear, "I can't say much but meet me at Leo's." Nadia doesn't respond, she knew what 'meet me at Leo's' meant and it wasn't good.

She and the rest of the Avengers all gave her a code word for if they were in trouble. Her and Natasha's was 'Meet me at Leo's', a gun range Nat has taken the teen to. Peter thought it should be 'Mushroom pizza' since they both hate mushrooms on their pizzas. Nadia and Tony's is 'Cat got your tongue?'. Clint is 'Dots and pizza'; a homage to him stealing her food.

Nadia and Natasha have a secret meet up place for when they're practicing missions. Nadia is pretty good at hiding in the shadows but not the best at taking people down quietly. With her hood covering half of her face she turned her phones brightness down to save battery.

Inside a Starbucks in the mall, a few blocks from Stark tower sat Natasha, a brown cap pulled down to cover her face. Steve sat beside her, his lack of knowledge on how to blend it making the pair stick out like a sore thumb. "How did you even know she was back?" He asks nervously, as he fidgets with his thumbs.

"Put a tracker on her suit, lost contact with it as soon as she left Earth. When she came back I got a ping, which also means they got a ping." Steve nods as the young girl comes into view. Looking normal her eyes a regular shade of green and posture tall even though her face was soft and sweet.

Nadia sits in front of them, "I had to kick a bit of ass so we might wanna move a bit faster." Natasha smiles at her and nods.

"Let's go." They exit the Starbucks with a mission.
