Aphmau's POV
When Luka came to me and told me of the plan to confront my father, I almost laughed. While I regularly worked out, I was no where near ready to take on Thor. I hadn't even seen Mjölnir since I left, much less used my control over lightning. Once she reassured me that the point of this was to turn the citizens of Asgard against him, not go full out against him, I conceded to the plan.
I now found myself facing the next problem. Alina didn't know who her father was. I had been putting it off for a while seeing as I didn't know if I'd ever see him again. Sighing, I sucked in a breath and pushed open Katelyn's bedroom door where Alina and my roommates were playing.
Katelyn looked worried but gave my the floor to speak. "Alina? Y'know how I told you that your name is Alina Tony Bravura?" At her nod and confused expression, I continued. "I lied. A few years ago I was forced to leave your father otherwise a lot of really good people would get really hurt. I was just talking with your Auntie Luka and she thinks that it's time you meet your father."
A shy smile grows on her face. "Who is my pa?"
A small laugh escapes me as I sit next to her. "His name is Sly Stark. You'll also get to meet your grandpa, Tony Stark."
Alina either didn't notice or didn't care for the sharp intakes of breath from my roommates. "That's my middle name!"
I chuckled. "It is! Your full name is Alina Tony Stark."
As I was about to continue, a knock sounded at the door, revealing Luka. "I hate to interrupt but The Few are in safe houses, we're just waiting on little Alina here."
My smile slipped and I nodded. "Alright Alina, be good for Auntie Luka and your father, alright?"
She nodded fiercely before running over to her Aunt and the two disappeared. I took a deep breath, mentally preparing myself to answer as many questions as I could before Loki came for me.
Katelyn locked eyes with me first. "What's going on?"
I appreciated the gentle but stern tone she used. "I'm sorry. After I was forced to leave the Few, I went to Luka, my cousin, and she helped me to create my new identity. If you didn't already piece it together, my name is Jessica Aphmau Stark, otherwise known as Lady Thor after my father."
Kawaii~chan just looked concerned. "Why'd you leave?"
I flashed a sad smile. "My father. He threatened that if I didn't or I contacted the Few, he'd kill them. All to get my brother on the throne."
Kawaii~chan gasped. "That's awful!"
A soft buzz of my phone alerted me of the time. "I need to go, feel free to tell the others, saves me an explanation later."

Sly's POV
When I saw Luka in the Hall, I knew something was up. She never set foot anywhere near here and her uncomfortable posture gave away her feelings. Loki stood tall next to her, easily overshadowing her nervous energy.
"Does anyone know that you all are here?" Loki asked, suspicion in his tone.
I took a breath to answer only to get cut off by Castor. "No. We were training beforehand. What's going on?"
Loki let out a breath of relief. "Good. We need to get you all into safe houses and fast. No one can hear of this."
Something akin to rage started swirling in my chest. "Fat chance I'm going anywhere with the likes of you two."
Luka groaned. "Look. I don't want to be here anymore than you want to be near either of us but I'm not doing this for either of us. I'm doing this for my cousins so shut up and let's go."
"Luka." Loki softly reprimanded. "But she's right. If it eases your concerns, your parents all know where you'll be going, it's just a matter of getting you there."
Castor showed no hesitation in going to Luka and being teleported out of the Hall. When Luka reappeared, the process continued with the others following the archer's lead.
I took Luka's hand last. "You will regret this is it's a trap."
She huffed a laugh. "Only thing I will be regretting is needing to be near you."
I was teleported into a room with no clear exit. As I looked around, Luka quickly detached herself before reappearing with my father and disappearing once more. When she finally reappeared, she had a small child in her arms.
"What the hell Luka." I asked before my father rushed over to the two.
"Aww, look at you! You remind me so much of your father when he was younger!" Tony gushed at the five year old. "Sly come meet your daughter with me before I have to go!"
I choked on air as his words caught up to me. "I'm sorry, what?"
Tony, getting the go ahead from Luka and Alina, picked up the small child. "Go ahead Luka, I'm sure Loki wouldn't pass up the chance to finally meet his niece. I'll explain things."
"Dad, what's going on?" I questioned as Luka teleported back out of the room.
My father came over to me and I sucked in a breath as I got a good look at the child, she looked so much like Jess. "Sly, a few days ago, when I was at that convention? Someone came up to me claiming that they were trying to recreate my suit. She introduced herself as Aphmau. I talked to her afterwards. Thor drove her out. She's been protecting you all this entire time. We're going to confront her father and she can't break her end of the deal before that happens. We need you to watch Alina and bond with your daughter."
The girl looked up at me with curiosity and my eyes snapped to my dad's face. "She's?"
The unspoken question was there. 'She's mine?' 'Jess was pregnant when she left?' 'She's alive?'
I resisted the urge to sob when all I got in return was a nod. Alina made grabby hands towards me so I carefully lifted her out of my father's arms and swore to every deity that I would let no harm come to her.
