It has been months since Loki attacked S.H.I.E.L.D headquarters. He was recently found in Germany looking for a distraction; he did so by killing and intimidating many people there. There was one time when he said, "Bow down to me," and everyone kneeled except for one girl. She was small but quite brave for opposing a god. "Why won't you kneel before me like many have done?" He said.
"Because I don't have to follow orders from a man who claims to be here to lead us, if all he does is bring fear to others."
"You dare oppose the all high and mighty Loki?!"
"No, I dare to oppose anyone who brings terror to the world claiming it to be righteous!"
Loki was amazed by the small girl that talked back at him; standing tall, with no hesitation, and looking into her eyes which were filled with no fear, it made him hesitate on striking. The more he looked at her, the more anger he felt, the more it became unbearable, up to the point it was controlling him and he make his move to kill her. Nevertheless, the attack failed the minute Captain America blocked the attack. Loki then fought Captain America and saw how the girl was washed away with the crowd. He somehow couldn't get her out of his head. In the end, Loki was captured by S.H.I.E.L.D, got a surprise with his brothers arrival, and by the distraction Thor had with Iron Man and Captain America, Loki found a way to see that girl again. He traced her steps and found her.
He saw that she recently showered since he saw her wet hair dripping all over the floor of her apartment. "Why didn't you obey me?" He said. The girl jumped with surprise. He noticed that she wasn't scared, as he expected again, and he felt bothered by it. Why would a girl like her, a mere mortal, not be scared of a god?
"I didn't feel like following your orders." She said, "Just because you have power doesn't mean you can take over at your will."
He was astonished for what she said; he has never heard anyone speak in such way, not even in Asgard. "Then tell me, who would take over without power?"
"There are countless ways to have a kingdom."
"What would that be?"
"If you were to be the ruler, what would be the first thing you would do?"
"Eradicate all people and objects that will bring my demise or opposes me."
"What kind of objects?"
"Books, art, music..." He said but got interrupted when the girl said, "That's precisely what you need. You take away books, art and music it will always find a way back and destroy what destroyed it." She said. "You use knowledge and distraction, of course, and people welcome you with open arms without even knowing what your real intentions are; it has happened throughout our history."
"How can a mere mortal know about this?" He said. "About war?"
"I always keep myself informed with what's happening around me, I know that you are the Norse god, Loki. The man who is currently under the custody of S.H.I.E.L.D and yet got away just because he wanted to talk to a mere human who dares to oppose you."
He was distraught, he couldn't put it into words how idiotic he sounded next to her. As much as he wished to continue that conversation his brother has finished his fight and had to go back. "This is where we part, I hope we could finish this discussion sometime around."
"Wait a minute..." The girl said but was cut off the minute she tried to reach him. He was already gone and left her wanting to know more about this Loki, she wanted more than what she had recently discovered, she felt there was more to be discovered. At that moment, she decided on doing a devious act that she vowed not to do since the moment she lost her parents doing so. She hacked into S.H.I.E.L.D's main database and got access to everything there was to know about Loki, the Tesseract, and the main reason S.H.I.E.L.D wanted to use it. The best part of it was that nobody in S.H.I.E.L.D would know who she was or track her down.
