        Evelyn woke up on a couch with a massive headache and a sore back. She opened her eyes but didn't recognise her surroundings. That got her worried. Evelyn looked around, noticing a bar towards one side of the room with many windows surrounding the other. She got off of the couch and crept over towards the windows. Looking down at the smaller buildings, Evelyn instantly knew she was in Stark Towers.

"Ah, you're awake," a voice Evelyn had been dreading at that moment said. Evelyn snapped her head around and glared at him.

"Very smooth, kidnapping your daughter," she snapped.

Loki chuckled. "I've taken you to the safest building during the war. The Chitauri won't destroy this building. Now you can finally be on your father's team." He walked up to Evelyn.

"Like I would do that," Evelyn rolled her eyes.

"You won't have a choice," he smirked, holding his spear up and tapping it against Evelyn's heart. Evelyn closed her eyes, preparing for something to happen, but it never came. She opened one eye at a time and looked at Loki's confused face. "How is this not working?"

"I always knew my heart was frozen solid," Evelyn shrugged.

Evelyn looked out the window and saw Iron Man fly onto the roof. Knowing what was coming, Evelyn walked towards the bar to have a drink as Loki walked outside.

Evelyn opened up a cabinet and grabbed a bottle of bourbon, as well as two glasses, and took them out. She placed the glasses down on the counter and popped the bottle, pouring the liquid into the glass.

"Please tell me you're going to appeal to my humanity," Loki said.

"Uh...actually, I'm planning to threaten you," Tony told him, now out of his suit. Evelyn sat down on the barstool and took a sip.

"You should have left your armour on for that," Loki said.

"Yeah, it's seen a bit of mileage. You've got the blue stick of destiny. Would you like a drink?" Tony asked Loki as he stood in front of the bar.

"Boo!" Evelyn said, watching as Tony jumped before turning around.

"Evie!" Tony exclaimed, then frowned. "Evie, you are too young to drink."

"Dude, I'm older than you," Evelyn rolled her eyes and gave him the other glass of Bourbon.

"Cheers!" They clinked their glasses, then took a sip.

"Stalling me won't change anything," Loki spoke up.

"No, no, no! Threatening. No drink? You sure?" Tony asked.
