Loki was now wandering New York, dressed to blend in. "I will find her myself, you all stay here.." He spoke before he left. He wanted to go straight to the Compound. That was not in the cards at all. '...'He did have a place he could figure out who was all there. If it all played out, Kelish would be back with him in no time. There it was, a hidden out of the way rundown building. On the outside, once in..it was a lab. As it hummed to life he made his way to the computers. "Now lets see if this still works." As he pushed buttons, the cameras he had placed were still intact. "Good...now let's see where are you..." He stopped. There she was with Strange. The way he was looking at her. "....." It angered him. "You better not Strange...for your own sake.." 

"Ok this is very cool!" Peter was with Thor in the living room area. "Wow you crafted that? How?" Kel sat on the sofa next to Strange. "That is a secret." It nipped at Peter's hand. He was very much into it. "You can keep him...he likes you. Just don't forget to feed him." They looked at her. "Feed? As in eats food?" Peter asked. She looked at them 'oops..' "Yea it's a living creature." She said slowly. "I've never heard of anyone who could create life.." Thor spoke slowly. "It's the special part of me that allows it." It was at that moment Peter got an idea. "How does it work? Could I show you an animal? Can you could bring it to life?" She couldn't help but laugh. "I could try, I usually have to see them in person." Thor and Stephen exchanged glances. Peter took out his phone and pulled up a cartoon. "Ok so this is a phone. This is a TV show. See the creature? Could you make this one come to life?" She looked at it. It looked fluffy and white. Its eyes were blue and piercing. Standing up she focused as Peter told her all about this creature. Slowly a small furball was forming in her hands. It fell to the floor and landed. Peter went wide eyed.

Stephen stood next to you. "Kel...this is amazing. No one outside of us can ever know this."

Thor was now looking at the nine tailed fox. "Yes I agree this is to stay between us. Peter you will have to hide it in your room for now." She would have protested, but then it was a smart idea. "Just feed her and him. Maybe I should hold on to the other one." Peter stood up and protested. "No, I can do it! Can MJ know? I promise she will keep the secret." She tilted her head. "Um, is that a person? If so, yea that should be fine." The two animals now interact by sniffing one another. They all stood there and looked at them. "I give it a week.." Thor spoke, it made everyone laugh. Peter just eyed him and picked up the nine tailed fox.

The group ate, then retired to their rooms. Peter waved happily, "thanks! I'm so excited!" "Most welcome Peter, I'll help you out next time with food and stuff." Kel laughed and waved bye. Opening her door she stopped. Strange bumped into her. "Hey wha-" but he stopped as he too looked. "Well well well. Enjoy yourself?" Kelish, frozen, didn't know what to do. Strange pushed her behind him. "Loki...what the hell. How did YOU get in without being noticed.." His speech a low growling whisper. Loki just glared at him, "step aside this is between me and Kel...NOT YOU." Kel snapped out of it as she heard Peter's door open. Her eyes met his, her expression was clear. 'DON'T say ANYTHING' Helpless, Peter just stood there. "Loki go away. I don't wanna see YOU!" she yelled getting in his face all of a sudden. "Ah there she is, my little spitfire.." Grabbing her face he was pissed. "Tell me love, why did you run away?" Tears started welling up, Strange stepped forward. "Don't Stephen...I can handle this tiny being..." Loki just got closer "Brave one are you.." Peter had run off to get Thor and the others. Strange listened and backed up.' Tiny being' He thought.

Kel slapped his hand away. "I saw what you said to Ego! He showed me. You didn't love me so I left." Leaving out the being chased part. Strange stood there, any subtle movement from Loki, and he would attack. "What are you talking about. I didn't say such a thing." Kel didn't buy it and backed up. Loki just stepped forward. "You're coming back with me." He said in a pissed tone. Grabbing Kelish's wrist. Strange took her other hand. "Let....her...go.." He was ticked off, why? He didn't really know, but at this moment he sensed that danger was fast approaching. Kelish stared back at the traitorous man. All the love she had felt for this person had vanished. Nothing but pain and anger filled her heart when she thought of him. Unknown to them, Peter's pets were turning a dark purple color. They looked almost evil as their eyes glowed a bright red. 

Peter had run off to get help. He bumped into Wanda. "Hey peter...slow down what's the hurry." He grabbed Wanda, catching his breath. "Kelish in trouble.." Wanda looked at him. "What's wrong?" She asked. Peter looked at her with concern. She had only just met her not too long ago and didn't seem all like she was in any danger. "I heard Loki's voice.." Peter spoke. "Lets go.." She spoke. Peter led the way. Loki and Strange were glaring at each other. Kel was tired of this. "Enough!" She shouted. She shook her hands off of them. "Loki we were over when you admitted to using me." Tears formed. Loki confused and mad didn't think. "I tire of this...you are coming with me." Before strange could do anything. Loki grabbed Kel and shoved Strange. It was then that Peter and Wanda showed up. It was too late though. "Kel!" Strange shouted. Wanda grabbed him. "You okay...how the hell did Loki get in here." Peter just stood at the door. "She's gone." 

They had Teleported to the hideout. Kel pushed him away, crying. "I HATE YOU!" He didn't care. "I know.." Hurt filled his face as he looked away. Kel just fell to the ground. In a flash Loki was back in her life. It pissed her off, why did he even want to see her? To use her like Ego said? Tears fell from her face. Loki tried to help her up but she kept slapping his hand away. He gave up and just stood their, saying nothing at all. 

All Kelish could think about was Stephen. Even though it had not been that long, their was a connection. It felt...right. She wondered did he feel it too? Now she would never know, thanks to this impossible man. She looked up at him, angered grew more and more. A dark aura was slowly starting to form. Something she had never shown before. Not even all the other times when she was mad. This was different. This was a deep hatred that she had only ever showed once before.
