A/N: Oki doki guys so first things first IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN ENDGAME AND DO NOT WANT ANYTHING SPOILED LEAVE NOW UNTIL YOU HAVE. This story has one medium level spoiler and IT IS IN THIS CHAPTER.
Okay, so if you're still here I'm assuming you're cool with what you just read up there. If not, don't read this next sentence at all. This story is an alternate time line story from Mischief's Right Hand, a fic about Loki and my OFC Raven. This story starts starts during Chapter nine of that story. If you don't want to read that one up until that point (Don't worry, I'm not offended), here are a few key points you should know right now. Raven was raised in S.H.I.E.L.D. and so was her brother. She was used as a test subject on recreating the Super Soldier Serum but it went wrong. She has to take medicine in order to not die. S.H.I.E.L.D. killed her brother and so she wanted to destroy them. Enter Loki, they become friends, he get's kicked out of Asgard, that whole deal, and then tells her that if she helps him get revenge, he'll help her. They sleep together, he leaves to go to Thanos, he comes back, they fight the Avengers, during the battle Raven saves Cap because he's the closest thing to her and she wants to know what's different, Hawkeye explodes the craft her and Loki are on. After that is where this picks up. It's a very simple synopsis of 9 chapters, but it works. Things should be pretty well explained through the course of this alternate timeline, but just in case. This is the first time I'm changing up a characters story like this so I'm pretty nervous about it haha. So if you have read Mischiefs Right Hand, this will be a little similar by way of situations at certain parts but then it will be vastly different at others. Hopefully I pull it off!
I'm done blathering, on with the story!
As her eyes fluttered open, she saw Iron Man fly by her with a nuclear missile on his back up towards the portal. She managed to get on her feet and made her way inside the building, finding Loki in a dent in the ground unmoving.
When she came into his view, he noticed she was favoring her shoulder, new scratches and burns on her face and shoulders where the blast had hit her. He couldn't move as she spoke to him, "Come we need to go, they're about to close the portal."
"Go." Was all he muttered.
"Not without you." She said trying to lift him up, but her body was exhausted, she had been nearing the end of her injection time and Loki knew it too. He did all he could to lift his hand to her face.
"I will be taken to Asgard, and I will not let S.H.I.E.L.D. have you." He tried to smile using what little of his magic he had left to change her outfit from her uniform to street wear, "I cannot move much, so go and if you can find me."
She took his hand and held it, hating what she was about to do, "Okay. But no matter what, you survive, you endure, I die first you remember that."
"Alright." He let out a pained laugh, "As long as you remember who you belong to until then."
"Of course." She let go of his hand and slowly went to the elevator.
He watched as she went, turning back to look at him only as she entered the doors and they closed blocking their view from each other. The elevator stopped three floors below and she cursed when the doors opened. Attempting to get the doors to shut again they wouldn't, and she was forced to get out and go for the stairs. The building was tall, but she had no other choice, she doubted anyone would be there anyways, so it was probably a good thing. After about ten flights she heard a loud huff and pounding above her. It was the Hulk and he was in the stairs.
Heading out of the nearest door she had to make her way around the building without being seen. She snuck through hallways and jumped floors when she could, making her way down to the ground floor. When she turned a corner, she was greeted by a man she didn't recognize and a man she did, Rumlow. The man lifted his gun, pointing it at her and she smirked running back on herself and jumping from a banister, S.H.I.E.L.D. wasn't getting her. She landed four flights down, cringing slightly as she hit the ground. She was running low on her shot and she could feel it now, her previous injuries from the battle hindering her even more.
Getting up, Raven limped as best as she could to find a new exit, she was over halfway down the building now. She didn't think it would be this hard to get out of this damn building. Checking a different flight of stairs than the original one she had come down, she made sure that no one, especially the Hulk was in it, and made her way down it.
Once she made it to the ground floor, she headed out the door, only to be stopped by an angry Thor, Iron Man, and half of the STRIKE team. She didn't move, she had to look for a way out, she had to think of something. Her only choice was to run for it and so she did.
Raven managed to get past STRIKE team members, but Tony hit her in the leg with a blast and she fell hard to the ground, crying out in pain. Looking up she saw red boots in front of her and when he knelt down, she saw Captain America looking back at her. She tried to get up but all of her body's energy was going to her leg and she muttered to him, "Please…don't let them have me."
"Then where is Loki?" He asked back.
"What?" She managed to get on her elbows, "You have him."
"No, he disappeared with the Tesseract." Steve told her, he watched her eyes go wide and confusion form on her face.
He'd just left her there? Why would he tell her to get safe, to not get captured and then leave her behind like that? It didn't make any sense to her, maybe he was planning something. Her thoughts didn't last long as something hit her neck, making her pass out.
Steve looked up at Clint, "Why'd you do that?"
"Because, she's more dangerous than you think Cap." Hawkeye told him and started walking back to the others, "It was just to knock her out until they can properly restrain her before we get answers."
He looked back down at the unconscious girl and moved the hair from her ponytail out of her face, seeing the slightly healed wounds from the explosion she was in earlier. Steve wanted to know as much as about her as she seemed to want to know about him.
"Don't worry Cap, we'll take her back to S.H.I.E.L.D. HQ." Rumlow told him, "Figure out what to do with her from there after we find out what all she knows about where Loki went."
"Alright." Steve stood up as the men began picking up her limp body, "I want to talk to her too when she wakes up."
"Really?" Rumlow asked, "Why?"
"She saved my life out there." Steve told him.
She was cuffed to a table, they had given her just enough of a shot to keep her alive but not put her at full strength. They'd been reaming her about Loki and she didn't know what to tell them. Raven didn't know where he was, or what he was doing, she just knew he wasn't saving her from S.H.I.E.L.D. She didn't know how long they'd been at it, interrogating her, but she knew it had been at least two days.
Her head was leaned back against the chair she was stuck in and she didn't bother to open her eyes when she heard the door open. "Just get it over with already."
"You were the one that said you had questions." His voice entered her ears and she opened her eyes seeing Steve sitting across from her. He noticed she looked tired, more tired than any of the other times he'd seen her, her skin was pale and there were dark circles under her eyes.
"There isn't any point in asking them here…where they can hear them." Raven told him.
"Mind if I ask a few then?" He asked.
"Only if I can ask one when you're done." She responded.
"Deal." He said, "Do you really not know where Loki or the tesseract are?"
"No." She answered, "He said he was getting captured and taken to Asgard and wanted me to leave before S.H.I.E.L.D. could get me."
"Okay, why were you working with him?"
"We had an understanding. I help him get what he wants, he helps me get what I want."
Steve leaned forward, "And what is it you want Raven?"
"I guess the fitting answer is to Avenge my brother." She gave him a slight smirk. "My turn?"
"One left." He lowered his voice slightly, "Why did you save me out there? You had access to all of my files, everything you could want to know, so why save me?"
"Because." She leaned in towards him too now, her eyes focused on his blue ones, "I don't trust their files. I know what they really are, what they delete, you're the only real source of information I have on what happened back then."
He nodded slightly, "What's your question?"
Her voice was quiet, a mutter to most people, but he heard it as loud as if she were screaming, "Will you kill me?"
"What? Why?" He backed away from her looking shocked.
"Because I don't want them to do anything else to me. I don't wanna be…" Her voice shook slightly, her tone still low, "Be what they're going to turn me into."
"They aren't going to turn you into anything, Raven." He told her.
She scoffed out a laugh. "I used to admire you, you know that. I wanted to be like the person who's image I was made in. Now I'm glad I'm not, because you're stupider than I ever thought you were. S.H.I.E.L.D. isn't what you think what you think they are. They're liars. Manipulators. So, if you think you can trust them, then you're nothing that I would ever want to be."
"Rav-"
"If you aren't going to kill me, then get out." She sat back in her chair, looking away from him.
Raven was taken from her holding cell, they had been just barely keeping her alive with her medication, so she couldn't fight them off and Pierce had told her that they had absolutely no plans to kill her. She was led into a room with a chair in it surrounded by all sorts of science and medical things. Being sat down into the chair, they unhooked her hands one by one and strapped them down.
Pierce came and sat down in front of her, "You know, we spent a lot of money and time on you Raven."
"And you still failed at making me right." She told him.
"Yes, yes we did. But we might consider fixing that…if this next part works." He smiled at her, "We're going to make you one of us again."
"I will never work for you again." She spit in his face.
"You say that now." He walked away from her as nodes were pressed against her temple. She fought the screams wanting to push their way out of her as the electricity coursed through her whole body.
This was her hell for the next two years.
She was sparing with trainees for STRIKE, teaching them how to truly fight when Pierce walked in. He dismissed the men in the room and smiled at her, putting his hand on her shoulder, "Raven, I have a mission for you, then after, we'll fix your need for medication. Alright?"
"Yes sir." She answered back. "What do you need me to do?"
"Find and kill Steve Rogers."
"Yes sir."
