⠀New York had been reduced to ruins the moment the Chitauri had come through the portal. Loki had the entire world under his thumb, the avengers were defeated and taken god knows where, the very last strand of hope was kept with the Resistance, a team of fighters and believers who refused to give up, even when the odds were hurled towards them, they were determined to give their all into saving humanity from subjugation. From Loki.

⠀Ella just so happened to be the founder and leader of this group, her courage and bravery aided her greatly with her full time duty, there were no cowards fighting for freedom, they were the first to kneel. But not her, she refused to, she never would. She'd be damned if she stood face to face with the tyrant, she would simply stand, knees locked, glaring at him. Nothing could crush her hatred towards the self proclaimed 'king'.
⠀
⠀Loki sets his sights on the mortal with the secret that could destroy it all, wanting to find out what he could to do to use it to his advantage. The revelation of this secret is only the beginning of what is to come but is, most certainly, not the beginning one could of imagined.
