LUCIENNE WAS SITTING AT THE KITCHEN TABLE EATING fruit loops and reading 'Little Women' once again, her grandparents were out running errands so Luci was home alone.

She liked the peace and quiet because she gets to read and listen to her Radiohead albums without her grandparents knowing.

She felt the room temperature suddenly change, she stopped reading the words on the page of the book when she heard a weird noise, she turned her head to see a man with long slicked back hair and a weird smirk on his face, she let her spoon fall out of her hand and into the bowl of fruit loops causing the milk to splash.

"Who— are you?.." Lucienne sputtered out in fear her hands trembling as she pushed herself back away from the table, the legs of the chair screeching against the wooden floor.

"I'm Loki, a god. And you little girl are coming with me." The man stated walking towards the kitchen table slowly.

Lucienne's eyebrows furrowed trying to ignore the need to burst into tears and beg him to leave her alone, she just frozen in place in fear staring at him as he grabbed her arm and the next thing she knew everything went black.

LUCIENNE WAS SAT AGAINST A WALL IN A room with no windows hugging her knees against her chest, she had woken up on the cold hard floor not knowing where she was, with the memory of a man who looked like a messed up cricket vague in her mind.

She was breathing heavily, trembling in fear, it was like her parents death all over again, without the screams of agony of course.

She heard footsteps, she turned her head to the door as it slowly creaked open, it was the cricket man again.

"Please..let me out of here please.." Lucienne quietly begged, the man smiled and walked over to her crouching down in front of her, "Of course, I just need you to promise to behave."

Lucienne stared at him into his creepy annoyingly blue eyes before she nodded agreeing to behave, she would agree to anything if it means she could get out of this cold dark room.

LUCIENNE SAT IN A CHAIR in what looked to be a makeshift laboratory, watching a man with a lot of wrinkles, and eyes that looked like they weren't supposed to be that color of blue, examine a glowing blue box.

"What is that?" Lucienne asked curiously causingly the man to flinch and look at her, "The Tesseract"

Lucienne furrowed her eyebrows confused not knowing what that was, "A what?"

The man sighed and turned to her again, "Can you hush and stop asking questions?"

Lucienne frowned her expression feigning offense as she crossed her arms and looked away at another man in all black with the same looking weird eyes, what is up with this place?

Lucienne was convinced that they were all ailens and were gonna kill her and eat her.

LUCIENNE WAS DRAWING WITH A CRAYON AND A RANDOM PIECE OF PAPER some guy that probably had a soft spot for kids gave her when the cricket man walked up to her again.

She looked up at him curiously,"Yes?" The man smiled at her laying his hand on her shoulder, "Do you know why you're here?"

Lucienne shook her head and the man sat down by her, "Well you're very powerful, you hold a lot of power, even a good would want."

She stared at him confused, "The purple fairy dust?..that's powerful?"

The man chuckled shaking his head, "Oh sweetheart, it's so much more than that."

Lucienne was still confused, she was 12 how could she hold a lot of power, that a freaking god would want?
