A Forest In Ice

Someone familiar

After what felt like a lifetime, they all arrived at Avengers tower. Olivia was escorted into what looked to be a living room and Tony gestured for her to sit on the sofa. She looked around at the exquisite scenery, practically in awe. Bucky stayed with her as he was the only form of comfort she had access to and she knew she was about to be bombarded with questions.

'So... where are you from Olivia?' Tony asked, sitting down with a glass of whiskey.

' I'm uh, not from around here' she answered, presenting an awkward laugh.

'Ok so tell me. What exactly are your powers? How well can you control them? And how did you get them?' he leant forward, more interested than before. Olivia kinda froze in that moment but then she felt Bucky's hand on her shoulder and she calmed.

'Well I guess the first thing you should know is that my name is not Olivia, It's Fern. Fern Forestflow. I'm from the planet Achelous. So uh that's what i mean by I'm not from around here. I'm 21 so no, I'm not a kid. I can control my powers fairly well but I've rarely used them since I was 17. I have telepathic and empathic abilities, which allow me to feel people's emotions and alter them for a limited time and also read minds. You all saw my siren ability in action along with my botanical abilities. I can entrance people with my voice at will and that's how my telepathy and empath abilities work. I can create ivy from the atoms within the air and also just make some flowers if I want and I can also heal plants that are dying or wilting,' She looked up at Tony, realising she has just ranted at him for a good 10 minutes, 'Shit I'm sorry. I guess I got a bit carried away.' She looked down embarrassed.

'So...Fern is the name right? Why go by Olivia?' She turned around to see most of the avengers stood behind her. Nat had asked this particular question.

'Well I didn't wanna get caught again by my captors. I couldn't go back there,' she said with a shiver. Bucky rubbed her shoulder, 'It's ok, nobody will ever hurt you again.'

She felt a sense of comfort with those words, for the first time in a few years, she felt truly safe. Well that was until the whole building shook which sent Fern into a spiral of panic, causing her to grip tightly onto Bucky's arm. Fern was left confused when nobody else panicked and so she looked up at Bucky. 'Its ok, don't worry. The god is just home'

Ah yes... Thor. She was wondering where he was. She turned around expecting to see only Thor but she was greeted with another pair of eyes in addition to his. Thor began to speak and it was clear the conversation was about her but she had her eyes fixed on those of the man standing in front of her. She could easily tell he was an Asgardian due to the leather of his clothes. He seemed to have a strict colour scheme of black, green and gold. His hair was long and black as a raven. He looked like he'd been through hell but so did she. Both pale as white with bags under their eyes. When she finally met his eyes again she was greeted with a cold stare. His hands were bound in front of him and that's when she realised. It Was Loki...
