Tony's POV

After the invasion and my heroic actions, we gather in central park. Loki is now chained and walking alongside Thor. We reach centre of the park when Thor pulls me to one side as Dr.Selvig prepares the tesseract for travel.

"The mortal called Scarlett you have been searching for. I saw her at your tower during the battle. She said she was tortured by Shield and Coulson is alive. I thought you should know."

He winks and I nod, "We have already decided she is speaking lies. Thanks for telling us."

He nods as he walks back to Loki. I follow him as he and Loki takes the tesseract and teleport back to Asgard. I quickly nod to the rest of the Avengers before we go our separate ways.

Well, for about 10 mins until we meet back at my tower. We decided that Scarlett is telling the truth and we plan to find her before Fury does.

Time Skip

We all have arrived at the tower and gathered in what's left of my living room. We take our seats around the table as I pour myself a drink.

"So what do we know about this Scarlett Jones? Apart from she has hacked my security systems!!!"

"She has powerful magic. She hit me." Bruce says.

"I watched her as she jumped off the building and disappeared." Steve states.

"I saw her from the building I was on. She was close to Loki. She clearly has a romantic connection with him." Clint says as he adjusts his bow.

I then decide to speak, "I met her before the invasion. She said she was tortured and reindeer games saved her. And apparently Coulson is alive."

We all nod when Natasha speaks up, "I know who she is."

What? She gets up and puts a USB stick in my computer. A file comes up and she opens it on the big screen. Oh god.

Pictures of Scarlett's torture come up and a profile of Scarlett. It's horrifying.

She turns back to us, "She gave this to me when she gave me the sceptre. I assumed she collected all the data during the battle or when she was in prisoned."

All our eyes widen as we read the file on screen. Clint snaps out of it and looks at Natasha.

A tear is rolling down her cheek.

She wipes it away as she explains, "About 10 years ago, Shield brought a young girl in who has extraordinary power. Scarlett Jones. I thought she was here to join us to be a agent. But then I found out he was going to experiment on her and I told him not too. He said he would let her go. He didn't. I found out a few years later that he was torturing her and I couldn't stop it. Coulson tried to but Fury threatened to kill his girl, so he had to watch and do nothing."

I look at her in disbelief, "You didn't help her?"

"I tried. But I failed. He caught us and Scarlett made sure it looked like she escaped on her own so I wouldn't get hurt. He grabbed her and rapped her for trying to escape. I never tried again in case that ever happened again. I couldn't cause her any more pain."

"Why was he torturing her in the first place?" I ask.

But before she has the chance to answer, a voice echoes from the other side of the room, "He wanted to see if he could use my magic to create weapons. "

Clint turns and immediately fires an arrow towards the door and we turn as she catches it. Their at the door is Scarlett Jones.

Scarlett's POV.

I have successful sneaked back into New York and gained entry into Starks tower. Starks security system is crap. Anyway, I decided that I need to help Coulson. Even though he didn't help me and let me be tortured, I finally found out why he did that. He was protecting his girl. And I know Loki would do the same thing for me.

I finally reach the lounge as I hear Nat finish my tale.

I lean against the door frame as Stark asks, "Why was he torturing her in the first place?"

I decide to finally speak up, "He wanted to see if he could use my magic to create weapons. "

Clint quickly fires an arrow at me and I catch it just before it touches my chest.

They all turn to look at me as I say, "Seriously?!!! You shoot the person you are trying to find and protect?" I roll my eyes as I chuck the arrow to one side, "And I would recommend Stark to improve your security system."

He glares at me as I enter the room. Natasha looks at me in shock and walks over to me. She stops in front of me and she is about to speak when I interrupt.

"Don't even think of apologizing to me. It wasn't your fault what happened and you already apologized to me early. "

She smiles, "Good to see you Scarlett. " She pulls me into a hug and I hug her back.

I pull away and turn to the others, "So listen, I've got at least a few years to wait for my love to come back and while I wait, I want to find and rescue Coulson."

Steve raises his eyebrows, "Love?"

"Loki's my soul mate. It's how we broke the spell he was under." They look at me puzzled and I roll my eyes, "Long story. Anyway, Nicks after me and this could be the perfect distraction to get into shield and find Coulson."

Tony gives me a look as he pours another drink, "Why do you want to help him? He let you be tortured. "

"Honestly, I was going to let him rot. But then I realized he was protecting his girlfriend and I would have done the same in his situation. So now I want to help him.

Clint asks, "Do you have a plan?

I smirk, "Yes I think I do."
