Our lives are not our own.We are bound to others,past and present,and by each crime and every kindness,we birth our future.-David Mitchell(Cloud Atlas)

My struggles were useless against this-what?God???

This glowing door portal was much quicker than my previous experience.

Literally,in the blink of a eye we were back in 1984,in my hospital room.

Loki still had a death grip on me,and a dagger to my throat.

I stared at my comatose body lying there,as if looking at a stranger.

A dying stranger.

I can't believe Loki,brother of Thor,has taken me!I shouldn't even have knowledge of these people,and have never told anyone what I knew,just blocked it out.Everyone would've thought I'd really lost my mind!

But I learned fast that day.

The God of Mischief.If that's what you want to call him.

He killed hundreds of people that day in New York, and destroyed most of Manhattan.Its all coming back to me now.

I remember that jump.How could I have forgotten for so long?The day my foster mom told me I would die in that room.I believed her.She had been proven to be true to her word when it came to torturing me.

I was eight years old and tired of the fight.I don't know how I did it,I just did.I jumped, straight into hell on earth. Another memory I chose to forget.

It was just about then that Loki opened a wormhole above Stark Tower in New York City,for the Chitauri fleet in space, launching his invasion.

I'd never imagined anything like this was possible!Those who doubted God's exist were enlightened that day!

There was senseless death and complete devastation all around me. Hysteria and total chaos in the streets. Bodies literally falling from the sky.

I had jumped into Stark tower, not by choice, obviously. The last place I should be. I got a glance of this monster, being at the wrong place at the wrong time.

That was the first time we came face to face.

He was flying by, and I just stared, dumbfounded, out the window. He stopped right in front of me, and glared. His eyes seem to glow. I knew I was looking into the face of pure evil.

I froze.

He looked at me quizzically for a second as if he knew me, or saw something inside of me.

When I saw him aim this odd looking weapon at me,which I later found out was a scepter,I ran and leapt as glass shattered all around me.I got up,and kept running.

Unbeknownst to me,he was the reason I decided to go into the police academy, and eventually, intelligence,if accepted.

I knew one day, this was coming.

These so-called gods, and these hybrids, a cross between organic beings and machines. Chitauri, a sentient species of cybernetically enhanced beings, operating under a hive intelligence.

They have one soul function, to kill.

I managed to jump back into my own time, again, no clue how, as Ray finally convinced the D. C. S. to come get me, with the police. I was extremely sick and nearly starved to death. They got there just in the nick of time.

My life changed, finally, for the better, and I let that memory regress, maybe because it was just too much for my young mind to process.

But I never forgot what direction my life needed to take.
