{Temporarily Discontinued} Calming the Beast

Chapter 3

My mentor never told me his name. Well, until now. We walked up to Coulson and asked him if he could tell me who he was. "Alright. But go on deck." We didn't say anything and walked onto the deck where nobody can see or hear us. "Alright Aim. My name is Loki Laufeyson. I'm from Asgard. Beautiful name by the way." I knew he looked familiar with his green eyes, black hair, and smirk. Maybe his laugh was familiar as well.

We walked back in and started our training. No wonder I was able to dodge him and go straight through him!!! I thought after I found out it was the God of Mischief. Good thing my parents are obsessed with Norse mythology. Loki gave me a look. "You know I can hear you right now right?" I stopped and let out a sigh. With that he knocked me on my feet with his scepter. I looked up at him. "You distracted me." I huffed. He just smiled and laughed a little. "I quiet enjoy mentoring you."

We took a break from training for a meal. I ate two bites of mine and wandered off. I wanted to talk to that man again. Oh who was it.... Brian? Steve? No it definitely started with a B..... I gave up for right now on trying to remember the name. I walked into that hall and wandered around. He was standing outside of a room. "Hi." I said. I made him jump a little. "Hey. I thought you had left." I shrugged. "I was busy. With..... Maintenance." I said quickly lying. He bought it.

"Come see what I do." I nodded and followed. Only reason I'm following is so I possibly won't be bored. I thought as I walked through the door. There were a lot of tools. I went to put my hand in my pocket and realized my gun was still there. I pulled my shirt and jacket over them just in case. The safety's on so I'm good but still.... Bruce showed me a computer screen. "This is what we have been working on." "We?" A moment later a man who looked familiar walked in. He had brown hair and a strange looking goatee. "Bruce. We need to try and crack this code."

I ran up to the man and hugged him. "Hello uncle Tony." He looked at me confused for a moment. When he realized who I was he smiled. "Hello little Winter Goddess." He ruffled my hair. We laughed for a moment. We looked at a confused Bruce. "Bruce, this is my niece Skaði Kingston." He nodded a greeting. "We have met before but she wouldn't tell me her name." Tony nodded a little. "Why are you on here?" I looked at him. It's harder to lie to you uncle.... But I must. "I work on the maintenance team." He looked at me suspiciously. "That's hard to believe." I gave him a glare. He knew my glares mean 'I'm serious' and he nodded. "Now I believe you."

Bruce, Tony, and myself laughed and talked for about an hour before Coulson stumbled into the room. "There you are... You're needed in maintenance." I got the hint and jumped down off of a table I was sitting on. "It was nice talking to you uncle Tony! You too Bruce!" I said smiling. They waved and the door closed. "Trainings almost over. You get an extra hour of training tomorrow." I sighed and continued to walk. "Alright." I opened the door and let it hit Coulson in the face again. Don't ever irritate me again little man. I walked to my room and layed on my bed.

The nexted day I was awoken early by Coulson. "Your training starts in five minutes." I groaned and shifted over to my other side. As I pulled my blanket over my head I punched him in the face. With that hed groaned and backed up. "What is it with you and my face?!" He said in a quiet yell. I sat up. "Sorry but you get in the way of my destruction." He laughed a little at that. I realized what I said as well and I laughed. "Alright Loki's waiting for you. Get dressed and go to the training room. You have a long day ahead of you." I groaned did as he said. I didn't know if he left the room or not but I went to the bathroom and changed.

The day went by extremely fast. I startled Loki by being able to knock him down twice. "You are becoming wiser and stronger already. That's perfect." I sighed and got into position for the next attack. Loki used a magic attack that I dodged. Next he tried to attack me from behind. I grabbed his head, did a back flip over him, and pulled out my little knife holding it against his neck all in 5 seconds. "You have learned a lot. Where did you learn that move?" I let out a soft quick laugh. "instinct." He tried not to wiggle out of my grasp but I felt him shiver. "Why are you shivering?" I said teasing him. "Your breathing down my neck. I don't like that." I laughed the same laugh and let the breath hit his neck. He shivered and I let him go.

Half an hour after that training ended. "Alright, your training has ended for a week." I nodded and walked out. I walked to the hall where uncle Tony and Bruce were at. Bruce was in the hall. "Hey Skaði." Bruce said. I waved. "Hi Bruce." We walked into the room and I saw Loki in a cell from the window. He noticed me and smiled. Now, instead of wearing a black suite with a strange neck scarf thing, he was wearing his normal attire from the mythology. Bruce looked at him. "Do you know him?" I nodded. "Loki Laufeyson. Son of Laufey of Joutenheim. He is the God of Mischief." I looked at Bruce and he looked shocked. "My parents read Norse mythology stories as bedtime stories when I was a child." He nodded and started to work on whatever him and uncle Tony were working on.
