Ghost Guardian POV

I took a deep breath inward as I regained consciousness.

I started looking around and blinking to try and regain my eye sight. As everything became clearer I saw Cap and Iron man talking near the front of the ship. I slowly and cautiously stood up and walked toward one of the seats, and of course I had to pick the one across from the one and only Loki.

He smirked at me. Then I just stuck my tongue at him.

"Mortals..." I heard him mutter under his breath.


"GG!" Cap said as both he and Iron man came over to me, "are you ok?! I couldn't tell if you were alive!"

He was truly concerned. If only he understand how alive I really am.

"Yeah, don't worry I'm used to it." I said without emotion.

"Um kid I hate to break it to you but you may have lost your eye color." Tony said. Cap glared at him.


"No I didn't just lose my eye color, I lost it a long time ago" I said looking down. Man he hit my weak spot. I looked back up at him with determination written all over my face, "There are some things in life that you can't prevent or fix Anthony Stark. You of all people should understand that." I said pointing at his arc reactor.

That shut him up and he walked away. Cap patted my shoulder and walked in the same direction ac Tony.

"I don't like it..." Cap said.

"What? Rock of ages giving up so easily?" Tony replied.

"No I don't remember it being that easy. The guy claims to be a god." Cap said.

"Still your pretty spry for an older fellow." Tony said as Cap looked at him, "what's your thing palates?"Cap looked at him confused.

Jeez Tony give the poor guy a break.

"What?" Cap asked.

"You know you might have missed a few things, doing time as a capsicle." Cap gave him a look that said 'just stop'.

"Fury didn't tell me he was calling you in." Cap said.

"Yeah, there's a lot of things Fury doesn't tell you. For instance he didn't tell me that there would be a demon child here." He said gesturing to me.

"Well he didn't have to tell me that the tin man doesn't have a heart yet." I said with a smirk growing on my face.

I could tell Cap was struggling to hold back his laughter. But before Tony could answer lightning started to crack across the sky.

"Where is this coming from?" Nat asked.

Loki all of a sudden got all jumpy and looked nervous.

"What's the matter?" Cap asked, "scared of a little lighting?"


"I'm not overly fond of what follows." Loki replied cautiously.

"I guess everyone's afraid of something." I said.

"What are you afraid of?" Cap asked.

"Maybe another time." I responded.


Then something shook the ship making me fall out of my seat. I probably should have put my seat belt on.

Cap and Tony put their helmets on and Tony walked toward the hanger door and opened it as I stood up. Sometimes I wonder how this man is a genius.

"What are you doing?!" Cap asked but Tony ignored him and kept walking.

Then a man in a red cape and silver armor landed on the hanger entrance.


His hair is on fleek. Did I just think that? Oh god, Clint is rubbing off on me.


All I have to say is that the look of pure terror on Loki's face was priceless.


Tony was about to shoot a plasma beam at him but Mr. Fleek shoved him to the ground with his hammer of destiny.

I'm such a sarcastic comedian.

He grabbed Loki by the neck and flew out of the ship.

If you're wondering why I didn't do anything it's because I don't want to know what would happen if I ruined his on fleek-ness.


Jeez I'm never going to say that ever again.

Tony stood up and started walking toward the door "And now there's that guy." He grunted.


"Another Asguardian?" Nat asked.


"Think he's friendly?" Cap asked.


"It doesn't matter if he frees Loki or kills him the Tesseract is lost."

"Stark we need a plan of attack!" Cap exclaimed.


"I have a plan, attack." Tony replied right before he flew out of the ship.


If I need some advice on comebacks, I think I know now where to go now. Cap went to grab a parachute.


"I'd sit this one out Cap." Nat said.


"I don't see how I can." Cap replied.


"Cap these guys are from legends, their basically gods!" I said.


"There's only one God ma'am, and I'm pretty sure he doesn't dress like that." Cap replied as he too jumped out of the ship.


I stood up and started toward the opening of the ship and pulled out my wings, ignoring the pain for once.


"What are you doing?" Nat asked me.


"Making sure the children don't make a mess and lose their new friend." I replied.


"You're going to explain some things when we get back to the Hellicarrier right Violet?" Nat asked.


"Maybe and nope keep on guessing." I said as I flew off the ship into the thunderous surroundings.

I saw Stark push Mr. Fleek away from Loki. God I said it again didn't I?

I flew down and landed near Loki.


"Ah, the little mouse comes to my rescue. Or well I don't believe you're as young as you look." Loki said looking at me.


"Maybe I am, maybe I'm not you don't know anything me." I replied.


"I know every little secret every little thing about you. I know that the Beckett family with their nine year old child were in that explosion and they never found the child's body. I know why your wings hurt every time you bring them out. I haven't told anyone yet but that doesn't guarantee that I won't. I know what truly happened the night you became a ghost."


I stood there with a blank expression on my face. He knew everything. I could see it in his eyes.

That terrified me.

I don't want anyone to know because all they will pity and fear me. I had enough social problems.

I walked up to him and grabbed his arm and walked down the rock hill we were on. I saw a light a coming toward me but before I could move out of the way it struck me knocking me to the ground.

My head started to pound and I started to hear ringing a small voices. Then I heard an explosion.

With Loki behind me I walked or well did my best to, into the destroyed woods to see the three men.
"Are we done here?" Cap asked.


"You better be because while you three were playing show and smash with your toys I made sure we didn't lose what we came here for. I was also struck by something one of you shot and now my head is in excruciating pain so if you'll excuse me I'm going to finish this mission."


Mr. Fleek was staring at me intently so I latched my hand in Loki's and flew back to the ship.

I could shake off the way Mr. Fleek was looking at me. It was like he could see the pain I tried to hide through my empty eyes.
