"Are you sure about this, horns?"

"Don't you trust me Stark?" Loki's grin was enough to make even the stupidest man not to take such a risk. That's why Natasha and Wanda tagged along. With Loki as a new member of their team, albeit reluctant, they were working to keep New York City safe. That's what had led them to this apartment door.

"I don't hear anything." Tony states blankly. They'd rang the bell at least three times.

"She's here." Loki seems more determined than usual, driven even. It's worrying, because Tony is fully aware of his backstabbing nature." If you try anything funny Wanda's gonna blast you into pieces. After Nat's done kicking your ass that is. "

"You can count on that." Natasha adds.

"I'm not stupid. " Loki snarks. His focus moves back to the door. "You can't tell me you don't feel that?" His question is directed at Wanda. She turns her head to the side, closing her eyes for a moment.

"He's right, I can feel something behind that door. It's almost.."

"Magical." Loki finishes with a smile. If it's one thing that intrigued him, it was magic. His mother taught him quite a lot at a young age, but there was so much more out there. Meeting another sorcerer such as himself meant experience and a hell of a lot more spells he could learn.

"You're telling me my satellite has been picking up magic this entire time."

"After the power god here wrecked the city, are you really surprised? You saw how much juice came out of the tesseract. Maybe it's a side effect."

"I programmed it to detect potential threats and cosmic changes. Whoever or whatever is behind this door, I doubt it's going to be good. "

"Only one way to find out." Loki opened a circular portal, jumping in, and Natasha darted in after him.

Naturally Wanda and Tony followed. They were now inside, and Loki's eagerness increased ten fold. A woman was standing right in front of them, clutching her head as if she'd been in pain. Upon seeing her guests, her eyes widened and she stumbled back, dropping on the floor faced down.

"P-Please don't kill me!"

Natasha was forever on guard, so the reaction didn't surprise her. She had a tonfa in one hand and a gun in the other. Carefully sheathing both, she lowered to the ground. Loki was still searching for the energy he'd sensed just moments ago. Wanda's eyes studied her.

You didn't move a muscle. You'd barely even caught a glimpse of their faces. After you saw that portal-like thing open and they jumped through, you just panicked. So much happened in New York already. Begging for your life seemed like a smart way to go since you didn't want to die.

"We're not going to hurt you. " You raised your head hesitantly. Natasha sent you a kind smile, holding out her hand. "Y-You're not?" She shook her head, and you took the outstretched hand, rising to your feet. You took a step back, that's when you really processed the people standing there.

"W-Wait y-you're Tony Stark!" His smile is wide. "Always nice to meet a fan."

What was Tony Stark of all people doing in your apartment?

"Not that it isn't nice to meet a billionaire and all, b-but why are you all in my home?" Loki's eyes haven't left your form since he walked in. It's unnerving. More so because he looks familiar. But you can't place the face.

"Why do I feel like we've met before?"

"Could you maybe stop staring at me." It comes out ruder than you intended, and Loki approached. "What are you?" Two blades slide out of thin air and you nearly fall over when you back up. "W-What are you doing!" Natasha grabs his wrist to stop his advances, glaring at him.

"If you lay a hand on her I'll end you." He's not one to entertain threats, but the red tendrils running off of Wanda's fingers indicate that she'll do the same.

"Are you all really that foolish! This woman isn't human."

"Are you crazy!!? Of course I'm human!" Not only was he threatening your life, but making such an accusation. It was ridiculous.

'You imbeciles, look." He throws the blade, and Natasha doesn't get a chance to even block, Wanda lifts her arm to stop it before any harm can be done, but it halts on it's own. She lowers her hand in astonishment. Tony and Natasha appear the same. Loki just looks proud. He loved being right.

They can no longer see your irises, because it's covered by a white light. Your head just tilts, like you're trying to read the situation, or somehow seeing right through them. The blade drops to the floor, and so does your body.

"Can't believe I'm saying this but the horns you were right."

"Not a shock." Loki quips.

"Is she alright?" Wanda wants to check, but after what they all just saw, you could be triggered by just about anything. An enemy she can fight, but a civilian with unknown abilities, this is a bit of uncharted territory.

"I get the feeling that if she wanted to take us out she could have easily. We need to get her back to the Tower. Whatever this is, she's in the dark about it too."

Wanda lifts your body off the floor with masses of red light.


"Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this a crime on midgard?"

"Since when are you an upstanding citizen?" Natasha raises a brow. Loki shrugs.

"Fair enough."

The moment you regain consciousness, you nearly fall off the bed. Tony is standing next to the bed you're laying on, along with another man.

"She's awake!" The stranger declares. You look over at the machines and tech. It's intimidating.

"W-Who are you, what are you doing to me!!" The needle stuck to your arm, topped with the other patches on your body and the unfamiliar building causes a state of panic.

"S-Stop, STOP!"

The needle pitches out of your arm, and both men go catapulting against the wall. They grunt, and you grab a piece of gauze to stop the blood from dripping where the needle once was.

"I-I'm sorry I didn't mean to...I'm sorry!" This entire situation is crazy, you're on the verge of passing out again.

Bruce and Tony pick themselves up off the ground, Tony lifting his hands.

"We..we weren't trying to hurt you." Hands on his knees, he takes a breath before he straightens fully.

"You want to know how you're able to do that, I think we may be able to help. But you have to trust us." You still have no clue who this other guy is, so him asking for trust when they pretty much took you from your home after invading it, you're not too sure what to think.

You don't have much of a choice.

"I'll cooperate but first, I want you to tell me about the man from earlier. The one with the dark hair." You aren't sure why, but the headache you'd been suffering right before they barged in, something in your bones says it's because of that male, or whatever he was giving off. Then he accuses you of not being human, that must have meant he wasn't either.

Maybe he knows what's going on with you.

"Tell me everything." Tony shares a look with his partner, and he sighs, patting the edge of the bed.

"You might want to take a seat."

So you do.

Whatever it is, it couldn't be worse than what you're going through right now.
