"I can't breathe.." ---- False hopes, false smiles, false mirths... Loki learned to use facades since he was but a mere child. He knew his father's disapproving gazes. He knew the whispers amongst the servants. He knew his brother's neglecience. He knew his mother's painful watch. Loki hid his feelings well. Beneath playful banters, mischiefs, and rebellions..

Her father was a criminal and unfit to care for her, and her mother was dead, so Odin ordered Hela to be sent to Midgard. Thor automatically calls up S.H.I.E.L.D. and soon Hela is being sent there to be raised by the Avengers. How will the young girl turn out being raised by superheroes, and more importantly, how will Earth's Mightiest Heroes fair against Loki's daughter?
