The Tale of a Midgardian Frost Giant

Chapter 5

(Trixie's PoV)

Loki fell silent after I asked that, and I immediately regretted asking. Before he could say anything I heard the elevator doors open and that scientist was standing there. Loki walked over to him and they went back to the room they had been in before. A strange and unpleasant silence fell across the room. I wanted to know why he hated Thor, but at the same time I was perfectly fine not knowing if it meant Loki didn't lose it. Honestly I should take this time to try and escape but I wasn't sure how far I would make it. With every minute I felt like Furry was going to walk in and kill me even though I knew he wasn't anywhere near me. I stood up and walked over to the balcony area. I could tell this was the area where Tony would have his armor taken off with help from his machines. I stood there and overlooked the city as I  had my hands against some guard rails. Memories flashed back from years ago when I wandered the streets of New York. Being chased by SHIELD agents every day, never getting a real chance to rest, the aching pain in my legs from running hours on end, and the feeling of turning the corner and being greeted by more SHIELD agents. Seeing the city felt weird, being out of a cell, and actually getting a chance to see the real world. I continued looking over the balcony, noticing different tiny details each time I looked over something. Then a certain building caught my eye. It was old, broken down, and to me terrifying. The memories of everything that had happened there came rushing back. I quickly took my hands off the guard rail as some of the metal was now coated in ice. I wouldn't look at the building because every time I did the pain came rushing back. I could tell that my eyes where now red, I walked back in the room, and sat back down on the couch. I was really hoping I didn't hear the elevator ding because I really didn't want Loki to see that my eyes had changed color. I also really hoped that he wouldn't notice the ice that was now on the balcony rail. Knowing that building was so close I automatically hated being here more than before.

"Just don't think about that building or anything that happened there," I said to myself. I looked down at my hand but it wasn't blue which was good. I found a mirror in the room and my eyes where still red. I heard the elevator door opened . "Crap," I whispered to myself. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed it was only that scientist. I took a sigh of relief. The scientist came up and went up a tiny stairway that led to the roof top. I was very glad that he completely ignored me and didn't notice my eyes. But I knew Loki would notice if he came up.

I stood in the control panel room as I starred out the window and watched Stark and the others go unauthorized.

"Any sign of her yet?" I asked agent Hills.

"Still no sign of her. The last time she was seen by any worker on board was when she was running from a few agents, besides that no one has seen her.

"We need to find her, if she get's lose she could cause a problem," I told agent Hills.

"Sir, we need to stop this. She's made it apparent that she really has no intention of hurting anyone. Why do we even need to lock her up? Don't try to avoid the answer to this because almost every agent, and worker who's ever even heard of her has the same question in their head," she said. I noticed that a few agents had their attention focused on me.

"She needs be locked up because she's dangerous, and she will hurt someone. She can't be trusted, and if she gets angry enough she will want revenge," I told them.

"She has had plenty of opportunities to hurt people here, but she hasn't, and she admitted that she knew she easily could've," Hills said again and all eyes were now on me.

"We need to find her, be-," I began but I was cut off.

"Look, we'll find later. We need to focus on the tesseract and the task at hand or there won't be a time to look for her," Hills said as she walked away. Everyone's eyes quickly darted to a computer screen as if trying to imply they hadn't been paying attention. I stood there in silence as I listened to the sound of typing on keyboards. We were running out on time, and time is the one thing we need.

It was around nine o'clock p.m. and I was in a guest bedroom in the tower. I still hadn't seen Loki sense our conversation from earlier, but Dr. Celvic said I was supposed to stay in here. I had a window that had a perfect view of that terrible building. There was no way Loki knew what happened to me there, but I had a sick feeling that he had put me in this room on purpose. As I tried to fall asleep I had a mini debate with myself. I really wanted a chance to go in that building and look around a little, but the other side of me really didn't want to go in there. It would bring back a lot of pain filled memories, but I really wanted to check it out. When I finally fell asleep I began to have a nightmare. I heard the sound of running rootsteps but everything was black. There was a flash of light and all I could see was a younger version of me, around the age of eight, pulling someone who was about a year younger than me. Everything went black again. I heard the crackling of fire, and I heard some adults yell.

"Don't lose them!" I heard one yell. Another flash of light appeared and I saw myself make a wall of ice to hold them off. I also saw me talking to a very familiar, and young face.

"Trixie it's useless, we need to run!" my little brother Adam said. I saw the younger me run over to Adam and pull him along with me in the broken down building. We ran up to the second floor and then everything went black.

"Adam keep going!" the younger me yelled.

"Trixie no!" Adam yelled. Once again a flash of light appeared and I saw that I was pinned against a wall by what looked like a SHIELD agent. The man took a knife and shoved it straight into my right leg and slowly dragged it down. The younger me screamed as she shot a blast of ice at the man. She staggled over to Adam and they continued to run. Everything went black. I heard six gun shots, a thud to the floor, and a scream.

"ADAM!!" the younger me screamed. I forced my eyes open as I leaned out of the bed. I was sweating, I was breathing heavily, and the room had gotten very cold. The memories of my little brother came rushing into me. Most people who knew me thought I was abandoned with no parents or family. I never knew my mother or father, but I had known my little brother who I had to raise. Adam, unlike me, didn't have the powers of ice. he was like a regular human, but he accepted me anyway. I never thought about Adam, it hurt me to much. Especially because he could have survived if it wasn't for me. He could have survived the few shots that hit him, but it was my fualt he didn't make it. I looked over at the clock that said it was nine a.m. and only then did I notice the light seeping in through the window. There was a dresser with spare clothes, and I changed. I put on long jeans, despite the hot weather, because if I didn't I would've been able to see the scar on my leg. The incredibly long, and painful scar. I went into the room I had been in last night, and Loki was talking to Dr. Celvic. As Celvic left the room, Loki turned to face me.

"Did you sleep well?" he asked me.

"Yes," I lied. I walked over and sat on the couch.

"You have an hour," he told me.

"What?" I asked.

"I'm giving you an hour of freedom," he said to me.
