My Sweet Flame

Chapter 37. Alright, Back to Work. It isnt Christmas yet.

I walked into the lab as the two men looked up at me.

"Feeling better?" Tony smirked.

"I was under the control of the scepter, Stark. That wasn't my doing."

"Maybe not, but I'm thinking you probably have something you want to get off your chest?" He asked.

"Tony," Dr. Banner whispered to him, "Don't push her."

"No, Bruce it's okay....You're right I do need it off my chest." I walked over to a corner of the lab that was set up for me. I changed into more comfortable clothes and took a deep breath as the two men looked on in awe. I took my black glasses from a pocket and slipped them on to hide my eyes.

"There." I sighed, "Much better."

"I met Loki a long, long time ago." I brought the screen up. "As A Jedi Padawan, I was on my way to the trials when our ship crashed. I was the only one left, and I wandered off until I arrived in Asgard where Thor, Loki and I became best friends." I smiled at the memory, "I was six at the time. Almost five years later I left to go to school and I didn't return for about 1,480 years. Thor was to be coronated and I was finished with school, so I decided to return." I pressed a few buttons. "As you may have seen the footage from earlier, I can explain it. Loki And I were much closer together than Thor was to me, hence when I returned, it became something more. Thor was banished to Earth, the Allfather fell into a coma, and Loki then became king, and as his betrothed, I became Queen."

"Wait, Wait Wait." Stark waved his hand, "You two were engaged?"

"Yes. Yes, we were."

"Sounds Complicated."

"Less than 24 hours after I became Queen, Thor returned. Loki revealed his plot to wipe out the race threatening Asgard's peaceful rule, and soon, he fell off the side of the BiFrost into an abyss. Clearly he was still alive, but the problem was, before he fell he proclaimed that he had never loved me and that I was a foolish lovesick child to keep me safe. In my anger I threw my engagement ring off the bridge and ripped his heart from his chest and made him watch." I slowly slipped the ring out of my pocket. "Fortunately, I knew Loki would pull something like that so I made a fake ring to throw off the bridge. After he fell off the bridge, I wouldn't leave my room, and later when I did, the very mention of his name made me both sad and pissed off at the same time." I paused, letting the words sink in, "That was a year ago."

"I'm so sorry." Bruce said.

"No, Don't be. It's in the past now, and clearly he likes killing innocent people so," I took a deep breath, "I'll do what needs to be done." I paused, "Thor said that Loki wanted to see me?" I pressed a few buttons, checking the radiation levels of the scepter.

"Yeah, Umm, Not sure that's a good idea."

"You don't actually think I was going to go down there, did you? Just curious as to what he wants from me."

"He wanted to, let's see how did he put it?" He looked at Bruce. "He wanted to "ensure your safety". I don't know if that means much to you, you're clearly doing fine. He seemed pretty worried though, a little stressed, little tired, Pissed off that they took you mostly, but-"

"Okay, I get it." I expanded the radiation sensors further out, hoping to catch the beam from the Tesseract, "The spear has a really high radiation, just to let you know." The radiation sensor didn't pick up the Tesseract, assuming it was on Earth. "The Tesseract is hidden beneath the sensors though. Unless it we can safely tap into the energy of the spear," I pushed my glasses up my nose, "I highly doubt that we'll be able to track the cube. Or we would need some of S.H.I.E.L.D's cryptic files. They have data on the cube that Selvig's notes don't include."

"Oh, so you read them?" Stark asked.

"Yeah, on the way here, actually. I read really fast. Part of the intelligence stuff."

Stark went over to his table. "Jarvis has been working on hacking the files for the past few hours. What all can you do, Y/N? I mean, you know what we can do."

I glanced at Dr. Banner, who was working quietly with the spear and adjusting things on his data pad.

"Well, let's start easy. I can use the Force, as any Jedi can. I went to Hogwarts, so I can use that kind of magic too. I can do easy things like elemental magic and ordinary spells that most anyone can do, it's not that special. Being the goddess of music and dance, I can have music at the snap of my fingers, as well as lighting effects. I can change my clothes at will, plus hair and makeup. Music kind of swirls around me, and dancing is sort of self explanatory, although my strongpoint in definitely falling." I laughed, "And then for intelligence I kind of have a connection with libraries so I can find stuff easily and I feel really comfortable in them, and I read really fast to go with that." I paused, "I think that's about it. I'm decent with animals too, but that's not really a magical powers thing, that's just like a side thing. Oh! I'm really good with ships. Spaceships, mostly. I'm not too bad of a flier.......Okay, yeah now I'm done."

"Wow. That's a lot of stuff."

"Eh, I know people who can do better."

Tony's screen started flashing.

"Jarvis is done. We got it."

"I need to have a word with Thor, you two come up with a plan. Fill me in, I'll be back in 15."
