The Avengers

1. The light elf

My name is Edith Fraye Hall, and its only now that i realise earth is probably the most risky place for me to live on, but its my home now, and nothing's going to stop me from staying here. I gaze at my long pointed ears in the mirror, its hard to keep these things covered up, but i always make sure my crystal short white hair is over my ears and my red hood is securely hugging my head before leaving my apartment. I lock my old apartment door but before walking away i pull the handle twice to calm my worries. No one would know someone lives in that place, it looks an old abandoned flat, but thats all about laying low on earth, i need as little attention drawn to me as possible if i need to survive in this world. On my way to my favourite coffee shop i think about my father, malekith the dark elf, and how I managed to escape last minute before young me was executed, i wouldnt be alive now if it wasnt for my friend Thor, damn i would kill to know where he is now.

Waiter:
"Ah!, here she is, my favourite customer".

I didnt realise i was here until the bell of the door rang and Darens voice spoke out to me, waking me from the dark abyss my thoughts lay in.

Edith:
"Oh Daren, hi". I say happily as i smile back at him,

Daren:
"The usual im guessing".

I know exactly what he means.

Edith:
"You got it". I say to him positively. I pull out my space gray phone and begin to daydream at the image that soothes my heart, the image me and Thor took while he was keeping me safe on asgard. I am almost frightened from my gaze as i feel something warm press lightly against my shoulder.

Daren:
"Your coffee, Edie" he softly says as i take the plastic cup from him and let out a small giggle.

Edith:
"Thanks Daren, ill see you later". I say before exiting the coffee shop. Ive spent months on earth protecting earth and its people from small dangers like robberies or shootings. But i stay away from big dangers like evil villians appearing or nukes being launched. I cant risk going back into my fathers grasp. I feel like someone grapped my heart and is squeezing it as i think about the latest news in New York. A god who goes by the name of Loki has stolen something from S.H.E.I.L.D, it brings painful fear to think how easily i could end up back at Svartalfheim (where the dark elves lurk). It also calms my nerves with him being on earth as it could potentially mean his brother Thor is here. It brings me warmth.

Im just casually walking along when my senses pick up hurried chaotic screams from a couple of streets away, a gasp manages to escape me as i shift down an alleyway, i make sure nobody sees me as i warp to where the screams are echoing from. When i open my crystalline ocean blue eyes i am stood in a crowd of people all facing toards a building they must of all fled from, my eyes widen in shock to see the god Loki looking over us all. Now this isnt the type of trouble i should be in, i move with the panicked crowd and hold my strings of my hood tightly in search for comfort, but none comes.

Loki:
"Kneel before me". The god of mischief says while the people egnore him and try hurrying away. Suddenly four holograms appear of Loki and were all trapped, unable to escape.

Loki:
"I said, KNEEL!!". He shouts out as everyone begins to obey and kneels for him. I know i was meant to stay under cover, but i cant, not when my people are being threatened like this. As everyone kneels down i stay standing with my back to him while i frown and stare at the hologram infront of me.

Edith:
"No one has to kneel, especially to men like you". I cautiously say while turning around to face the true Loki that has made his way through the terrified kneeled citizens, i can feel their fear burning strongly.
