Jessa closed her eyes as Rexx sent his first blow towards her stomach. She sunk towards the ground. Rexx kicked her making her fall on her side. To Loki the rest was just a blur, Rexx repeatedly kicked her stomach, making Jessa wince out of pain.
"Had enough yet, princess?" Rexx growled at the raven haired girl. Jessa stood up and put her fists in front of her, like a fighting stance.
She shook her head, "I could do this all day." She wiped the blood dripping down from her nose. (Her attitudein theis bit confsed me so much

Did

Did I just have a stroke?

I can't spell today)
Rexx hit her once more, his fist made impact with her temple.
Loki finally intervened, "You have no respect!" He growled at Rexx, "Where I'm from, you would never hit a lady." (Loki

You're


You're from

H E R E)
Rexx took a shot towards Loki, only to have his fist caught by the god. Loki shook his head.
"You fool," Loki twisted Rexx's hand, sending Rexx face first into the ground, "I am a god!"

(*quietly* ya b*itch)

Rexx quickly stood up and walked away, glancing back at Loki with evil in his eyes.
Jessa stood up and brushed herself off, "Heh. Thanks I- uh-" She couldn't find the words to speak.
"Are you alright?" Loki asked, glancing to the now noticeable bruise on her temple. He started to put a hand up to her face but then decided otherwise.
Her eyes widened with surprise, why would The God of Mischief and Lies care if she was okay?
"Yeah, it's just a little bruise." She put a hand on her stomach, wincing in the process, "Ow, that's gonna leave a mark."
The guards entered the room, "Back to your cells, prisoners!"
Walking down the hallway, Loki could clearly see Jessa limping; what he didn't notice was how much pain she was in.
With every step she winced. Entering her cell, she slumped against the wall, sinking down to the floor and letting out a frustrated sigh.
"Why did you stop him," She asked looking at Loki on the other side of the hall, "You could have let him beat me to an oblivion, but you stopped him, why?"
Loki shook his head, "Someone needs to show authority around here," he glanced over at Rexx, "Also, he could have killed you." Jessa glanced up at Loki.
"Well- uhm- Thanks Frosty." She smiled weakly, "So how did you get imprisoned here?" She asked the god.
"Tesseract." He stated plainly, acting as if it was normal.
Jessa chuckled, "Ahhh, The Tesseract, I'm in here because I tried to kill an important person on Midgard." Loki's face twisted to confusion.
"Why didn't they put you in a Midgardian prison?" He asked, hoping to know more about the interesting woman in the cell across from his.
She chuckled, "No prison can hold me," She stated, "Every cell I've ever been in, I have escaped." She looked at the prison around her, "This one may be tougher than the others."
"As I said earlier, there is no way out of this prison." Loki looked over at Jessa, "Even if you found a way and escaped, Heimdall would never let you go anywhere else in the galaxy but Asgard."
Jessa groaned, "I have to find a way out!" Loki questioned her actions; why did she want to leave so much?
"Why, you have a boyfriend or someone you need to get back to?" Loki asked, "Do you have claustrophobia?"
"What, no!" She shook her head, "I don't have a boyfriend or anything," Her eyes flickered around the room, "But, yeah, I do have claustrophobia, that's not why I need to leave."
"Well?"
Jessa knew she could tell Loki, "Well, if you must know, I still have to finish my mission," She grabbed some gauze and started wrapping up her wounds, "if I don't... who knows what will happen."
His eyebrows furrowed, "Jessa, if you will, tell me, who do you work for?" Jessa raised an eyebrow, then shook her head.
"I'm afraid that information is classified for you and me." Jessa shrugged
-A one week later and a Flashback of Jessa's life -
"Jessa? Our mystery man has given you another job," Dr. Doom chuckled,"This time you have to murder someone."
Jessa shrugged,"Sure, who is it?" She asked out of curiosity.
"A man by the name of Tony Stark." Dr. Doom answers. (gAsp)
Her eyes widened," He wants me to try to kill The Iron-Man?!" She questioned nervously.
Doom nodded,"Yes, don't worry, even if they put you in prison you can escape, you always escape. Oh, you should have your partner meeting up with you soon."
Jessa nodded,"Alright. Do you know who it is?"
Dr. Doom shook his head,"No, but he should know who you are."
-----------------------------------

Her eyes shot open, and she looked around frantically.
"Wow, calm down Darling." Loki chuckled at the woman's actions.
"Shut up." She growled looking at the door of the prison," I'm waiting for someone."
Loki tilted his head to the side," Who is it?"
"I don't know," Jessa started,"I never received a name from the man I am working with."
"I've always wondered, where are you from?" The Trickster asked, glancing at Jessa's eyes.
She shrugged, "I was born on Asgard and raised on Asgard for one-thousand years by my godfather, then I..." Her voice dropped, "I ran away to Midgard."
"That means you could be a goddess." Loki smirked, when suddenly the gate opened. Jessa shook her head.
The guards dragged a struggling man into the prison, "Let me go!!" The man growled, "I was framed! They got the wrong guy!" Loki chuckled at the man's attempts to escape.
"Oh well, it seems there are no more open cells, looks like you will have to share with The God of Mischief." One of the guards feigned pity.
The man was thrown into the cell with Loki. He looked over at the blue eyed trickster; "So, uhm, come here often?" The man chuckled nervously.
Loki glared at the man and looked down at his book, "Don't talk to me you mewling quim." Jessa chuckled at Loki's response.
"Hey, lady! Laaadyy! (at least he's got manners) What's your name?!" The man shouted over in Jessa's direction.
Her face twisted into a smile, "What's your name?"
"I asked you first!" The man frowned but was clearly amused.
Jessa batted her eyelashes and looked up at him innocently, "Please?"
"Fine." The man groaned, "My name is Peter Quill also known as Star Lord."
Jessa smiled, "Jessica Tate, but everyone calls me Jessa." Peter's face showed relief.
"Oooh! I've been looking for you Jessa. The GrandMaste-I mean our mystery man, told me I would find you here." Peter almost caught himself.
Jessa raised an eyebrow, "The GrandMaster, but he said he wouldn't recruit me again?" Her voice cracked. The GrandMaster had this thing called a melting stick, it you touch it you literally melt. (Yeah ouch)
