Jaden: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.

The Battle is Over.

Some irrelevant conversation was made about how horrible everything seemed. Nat saying she'd seen worse. To be honest, whatever she was talking about, we could use worse.

Stark was happy to be right about Banner's return. Basically giving him a job as soon as he arrived. Telling him to suit up. A party was coming to them.

As Stark's party approached the rest of the team on the ground, I had to fight off the aliens that were landing on the tower. With each attack against me, and my defenses, I could feel my powers coming back.

A blast of electric blue lights pulsing from my hands. Destroying each chitauri soldier that appeared before me. With a simple swipe of my arm, ten literally lost their heads. I got so into the fighting that I almost didn't notice Thor holding onto the lightning rod on top of the Empire State Building.

We teamed up, Thor with his control over lightning, and I with my power of the Tesseract. The sky darkened as Thor raised mjölnir, collecting electricity from the sky. Aiming my beam to the sky, we zapped every foe that tried to make its way through the portal.

They almost didn't want to come through again. But they did anyway. And Thor and I couldn't keep them at bay for too long.

"Stark. You got a lot of strings sticking to your tail," I heard Barton say through the comms.

"Just try and keep them off the streets."

"Well, they can't bank worth a damn. Find a tight corner."

"I will roger that," Stark finished as he followed through with Clint's suggestion. And it was indeed a nice call.

But none of our fight was going to mean a thing if we didn't close the portal. And none of our weapons were going to touch it. Only Nat seemed to realize the weapons that weren't able to reach it were guns. Maybe it wasn't about guns at all.

As she was making her way up to the top of the tower via alien chariots, I attempted to reach for the cube only to be shocked clear across the roof.

Selvig was walking up. Obviously disoriented, but he was back to his normal self. In an attempt to help him, I jumped down to the level he was on. Placed my hand on his forehead. Hardly anything happened. The bleeding stopped and that was about it.

Suddenly there was an explosion sending Loki back inside Stark's penthouse as Nat leaps from her chariot, tumbling toward the reactor.

Loki seemed surprised at what happened as the Hulk leaped to the top of the building and sent him flying. Loki's shout of anger, saying:

"Enough!! You are, all of you, beneath me! I am a god, you dull creature, and I will not be bullied by..."

But he was interrupted by Banner, a.k.a. the Hulk, who literally pulled him off his feet and slammed him into the floor several times. Then walked away, leaving Loki to groan in pain.

It was stupid of me to do, but I went inside to see just how much pain my father was in. I could hear his whimpers as I came closer. The sound of my feet reaching his ears, causing him to try and be quiet. But he failed.

"Why did you do it, Loki?" The look on his face was one of confusion. There were so many ways to answer that question that he didn't know which answer to give me.

"You send a destroyer here to kill your own brother out of jealousy. Then, you regain your obsession with becoming a ruler and try to take over the earth. Suddenly, there's a new character involved in your plan. Your daughter. What exactly was your plan for me once you got your wish? I mean, based on the laws of treason, you'd have to arrest me for fighting against you. Possibly even have me put to death..."

My interrogation was cut short at Stark's remark about a nuke coming in. And he knew just where to put it.

"Jade! Are you interrogating him right now?" Barton asked me as I was about to open my mouth for one last question.

"Your beef with him is for taking over your mind. Thor's is for Loki trying to kill him. And Clint, this moron is my father. Never knew him my entire life. Now he all of a sudden wants to be a part of it. Even if that means ending it," I answered, aiming a blue flame covered hand in Loki's direction to keep him still.

Stark wasted no time in sending the nuke, along with himself, through the portal. Ending the battle for good. Every one of the aliens collapsed as the mothership exploded. Nat closed the portal just as Stark came falling back through the wormhole. He kept gaining momentum. Approaching the ground faster and faster with each passing second.

To make a long story short, Loki lost the battle and was placed in custody once we knew Stark was still alive.

Fury allowed me to ask a few questions toward the end of our interrogation period that we had earned from Asgard. Aside from Loki never knowing about my existence until it was too late for him, I didn't get much of an answer to the question of why he took me. As to the why he put spells on me to prevent me from using my powers? That was to keep me weak as I had suspected. Make it so I couldn't fight against him.

Sometime later on the final day of SHIELD's interrogations, Thor had taken me aside, stating that I was to go with them.

"I can't go with you, Thor. You don't know what Odin has in mind for me."

"And how do you know what is in the mind of the All-father?"

It was a good question. One that I finally didn't have an answer to. Thor took my lack of an answer as a yes. That I would go to Asgard with him, and Loki, my father.

With Loki in shackles and a muzzle over his mouth, Thor took one end of the tesseract's glass tube in one hand, then offered his free hand for me to take hold. Loki took hold of the other end of the tube.

This was only the second time in my life that I had been afraid. Afraid of what Odin might do simply because of who my father is. And it didn't even matter that this was my first time meeting Loki.
