****[ Loki's POV]****
I wake up in a glass circle. An old man with an eye patch is standing by the door. "Good! You're awake." He booms. "In case it's unclear, if you try to escape, you so much as scratch that glass... " the man then hits a button and a door opens beneath my 'cage' "it's 30,000 feet straight down in a steel trap. You get how that works? Ant... boot."
"It's an impressive cage. Not built, I think, for me." I say.
"Built for something a lot stronger than you."
"Oh, I've heard. The mindless beast, makes play he's still a man. How desperate are you, that you call on such lost creatures to defend you?"
"How desperate am I? You threaten my world with war. You steal a force you can't hope to control. You talk about peace and you kill 'cause it's fun. You have made me VERY desperate. You might not be glad that you did."
"Ooh. It burns you to have come so close. To have the Tesseract, to have power, unlimited power. And for what? A warm light for all mankind to share. And then to be reminded what real power is."
"Sir," Emma says walking in. She gives a nervous glance to me then continues. "They need you in the lab. I'll watch the prisoner."
"Thank you agent James." The man says to her. Then he turns to me. "let me know if "real power" wants a magazine or something."
The old man walks away and I'm left with Aunreinn. "Hello again." I say. I'm tempted to make sure I look alright but I can tell I don't.
"How do you know that name?" She spits at me.
"What name?" I question.
"Aunreinn. How did you know it."
"So you have heard the name."
"A woman I used to know called me that. She always thought I was sleeping. I'm not going to ask again. How do you know it?"
"She was a girl I used to love. You look very much like her."
Sorrow crosses Emma's face. "What happened to her?"
"She didn't die if that's what you think. She just vanished."
I see the confusion in her eyes. "That's not the first time I've been told I look like someone who vanished."
"Strange. Who told you the first time?"
"Captain America. Called me Mary Jane."
I remember Mary Jane very well. She was madly in love with James Barns. I took a trip to earth and saw her. Some way I was able to get her to fall in love with me, but when she did she remembered and the monster took over. That's when I lost her once again.
         "Never heard of her." I lie.
        She weakly smiles. "Have you tried to find her? You technically are a god. Shouldn't you be able to?"
          "I know where she is actually. But she doesn't remember me, or her old self, at all. So I really have lost her."
            "Is that why you're doing all this? You lost your love so the world can suffer?"
           "You know the myths, there are words beyond your own, I can't say more but I do this with a heavy heart. Aunreinn is in this world. I do not wish to harm her, but I must do what I must."
           "What is it you must do?" She flashes her brown eyes from the floor to my face. I have to turn away so I don't fall into her spell.
           "I can not say. You can come with me though, let me out of this prison and you can be saved."
           "So it's something bad? What if I do, what if I let you out. You're a god, you have magic, can you erase my past memories? Take away what she did to me?" The twelve year old looks at me with sad broken eyes.
         "What who did to you?" I ask already knowing the answer. Her mother had a job to set the back story in place and she completed it way to well. 
          "My mother. She," Emma breaks into tears and I feel myself trying not to cry with her.
        I could just use my magic and she would do my every wish. I didn't need a staff, I was powerful. But a plan was a plan. "I can." I say softly. I will a peace to fill her and she calms down.
          "Did you just...?" She begins to ask but doesn't know what to say.
          I will my voice to brain wash her. I had to do it. "You will leave and forget this conversation happened until I call for you. I'm with you Emma, in your head. I have been since your beginning." She turns and leaves and I fear I'll never speak to her again.
         I feel someone behind me and turn to see the red headed woman from before. She heard everything. But when she speaks it's about something entirely different.
       ****[emma's pov]****
     "Agent Coulson? What am I doing in this hall?" I ask. One moment I'm going to get fury and the next I'm in a hallway I've never seen."
       "I'm not sure dear. Are you feeling well?" Phil asks.
        "I feel different. Maybe I just need to sit down. Did I tell Fury the message?"
        "Several hours ago, you where watching Loki."
         "Loki? He must have done something. What time is it?"
          "0900. That was 5 hours ago. The Black Widow finished talking to him about an hour ago and the Avengers are in a a meeting."
         As Coulson finishes saying that an explosion goes off and we look at each other wide eyed. Coulson darts to his locker and grabs a huge gun.
        "Is that...?" I start to ask and he nods. "Let's go then." I say.
         We head to the area we are keeping Loki. Let the fun begin!
