"Aren't they... aren't they Coulsons?"

Steve and Tony sat at the meeting table whilst Director Fury and Maria stood off towards the side. Phil Coulson swimming through their minds, the memories of the wonderful man on replay. Fury however was worried about Elizabeth, he doubted she knew already and that killed him. Coulson was like a father figure to the Time Lord, and as If on queue, Elizabeth walked in a small smile on her face. She noticed the solemn looks on everyone's faces as they turned to her, her smile slowly turned into a thin lipped frown, her eyes narrowed on the "limited edition Captain America trading cards" as Coulson used to say, to see them covered in blood.

"Aren't they - aren't they Coulsons?" she asked timidly her hand pointing out towards them. Her lip began to tremble and her eyes watered, she bit her lip to try and keep herself from crying. She looked over at Fury and her suspicions were confirmed, the look in his eye told her everything she needed to know and with that she blinked and let all her tears cascade down her face, her shoulders shrunk dramatically, as a small weak sob left her lips. Her throat felt dry, Tony stood up to comfort her, resulting in her running away, as fast as she could. She had no idea where she was heading but her mind led her to the room.

The one just a week ago caused Phil to die.

She emitted a heartbreaking scream that racked through the damaged carrier, her emotions swept like wild-fire through everyone for a couple seconds they felt and heard the shattering of the Time lords hearts.

She jumped down into the hole where the cage used to hang over, cowered over into the corner and hugged herself as she cried silently.

"Was he married?" Steve solemnly asks Tony, standing against one of the banisters, in which used to lead to the 'Hulks Cage'. At first Elizabeth thought Steve was talking to her but when another familiar males voice answered she kept quiet.

"No, but there was a cellist." He replies. Both still hadn't noticed Elizabeth until she spoke up.

"He may not of had a wife or a biological child, but that man was my dad" She spoke choking up "That man meant the world to me" she whispered "He was the only father figure I have ever had, my biological father didn't give a shit about me, too busy ruling his land, not having time for his daughter, but Coulson, god he was the best man I could of asked for to be my dad". More tears slowly began to roll down her face again, she stood up and jumped up the side and pulled herself over.

"He was a good man" Steve said trying to comfort her, he had never seen her so sad, and he didn't like that. She was supposed to be the happy, free-spirited woman he always knew, but the heartbreak he felt emitting from her broke his heart to.

"He was an idiot" Tony answered back, Elizabeth's head snapped over to Tony's, he continued "He took on Loki alone, that wasn't his job, it was way out of his league" Tony said walking over towards both Steve and Elizabeth. Elizabeth had spotted the blood, her body froze, waves of lilac magic encased her hands, she began to shake. Both Steve and Tony noticed this and followed her eyes to the blood. Tony quickly walked over to her, and placed his hands on her cheeks. Her eyes were still stuck to the splatter of blood that painted the wall.

"Hey - hey Elizabeth look at me, look at me" He spoke to her softly, her eyes carefully met his brown ones, and she began to feel herself relax, the magic reduced and her shaking began to stop to a small shiver every now and then.

Thank you she told him telepathically, he looked at her surprised. He let go of her cheeks and talked to Steve again leaving Elizabeth to calm herself.

"Son of a bitch" Tony muttered quickly.

Tony went to suit up and Elizabeth followed him as her suit was in the same place as his. Elizabeth's suit had a white leather corset at the top half which had slits at the back so if needed her wings could emerge and attached to that was material which covered her up like a bikini bottom. A lilac coloured skirt went to her mid thigh and she wore black knee cap boots that laced up the front.

When she had finished changing and went to Stark who was patiently waiting in his Iron Man suit, she could only image his jaw dropped, the clang echoing from his suit proving so.

They flew side by side, lilac mist came rushing out of her hands much like Starks thrusters and trailed behind them. From a far you wouldn't think that New York was about to be under attack by extra terrestrial beings, the city just looked calm and normal. Once the two Avengers reached the top of Starks tower, Stark raised his hand to shoot at the portal opener.

"Tony don't!" Violeta (her superhero name) screamed at Tony, however she was too late and the beam hit the opener, she quickly manoeuvred so she was in front of Tony, which sent them both flying down until they regained flight and Violeta walked straight into his living room and sat ontop of the bar, whilst Stark and Loki spoke outside. As they moved inside she noticed how pale Loki looked compared to the last time they spoke, a permanent smirk resided upon his lips a devilish glint in his eyes.

"We have your Brother - a Demi god, a supersolder - a living legend; who quite frankly lives up to his name, a man with breath taking anger management issues, a couple master assassins and a freaking gorgeous Goddess who literally rules the Universe" Stark spoke catching Elizabeth's attention, he offered her a smile and a drink with alcohol in, she grabbed it and downing it.

"How will your friends have time for me, when there so busy fighting you!" Loki spoke threateningly, raising his sceptre to Tony's chest, when it hit Stark he flinched lightly, but nothing happened, the smirk dropped from Loki's face as he tried again.

"This usually works" He spoke quite bewilder as to why it wasn't.

"Eh performance issues, not uncommon, one out of five" Stark spoke back sarcastically, striking a nerve in Loki, the god picked Stark up by the neck and threw him out of the window, Violeta was about to go after him until she recognised his suit blasting through the wall and going down to attach to him. He shot up from his near death experience and said one last thing.

"Theirs one last person you pissed of - his name is Phil!"
