S.F.H.D. Society for the Furthering of Human Development. Leah pressed her glasses onto her face and continued to read about the Society.

"The SFHD was well known for their use of Feline DNA on young females age 17-21…They had only one success. A girl from Chicago, by the name of…." Leah dropped the book, her eyes wide. Shaking, she picked it up and walked to the control room.

"Did you know about this, Fury?" She asked, dropping the open file in front of him.

"Yes I did. I approved of it. Howard however, did not." Fury said, after he scanned the file.

"You told me I was kidnapped by the British Government. That they made me into a weapon!" Leah could feel herself getting angrier by the second.

"I had too. You would have left if I didn't."

"Well I'm leaving now." Leah turned on her heel beginning to walk away. Fury grabbed her wrist, she jerked free and turned to look at him. Her eyes animal like.

"You, Director Fury have no say over what I or Leah do. I suggest you let us leave or you will regret it." The Feline DNA that had been injected into Leah had given her a different personality. A dark, killer that she couldn't always control.

"It's been awhile, Panther."

"Indeed it has been. Now if you excuse me, Leah and I have places to be." She left without another word. As she stepped off the Heli Carrier she pressed a button on her phone, blowing out engines one and four. Smirking she disappeared into the shadows before anyone could find her. She waited out in an Alley for two hours before finally slipping out. The Heli Carrier had taken off ten minutes ago, the engines finally fixed. She returned to normal, Leah wondering around New York City.

She ran into a certain God, smiling a bit she walked over.

"Welcome back, Loki." Her tone was friendly as she sat down next to him in front of the small café.

"Ah, hello Agent Harris. You are not going to try and kill me?" He asked confused.

"I no longer work for SHIELD." Loki blinked.

"And why is that?"

"They've lied to me about a lot. There's no reason to work for liars like them." Loki could see the girl wanted revenge. Wanted to make SHIELD pay for what they did to her.

"Help me bring SHIELD down and you can rule at my side, Leah." Leah looked at him, she knew Loki knew her name but it was odd to hear him say it.

"Deal." Leah said, offering her hand. Loki shook it, smiling. He had a way in, a way to revenge, a girl that he could easily use. Yet, he didn't want to use her. She hid so much pain, so much wanting. The same wanting the he had. To belong, to fit in. It confused him. What to do with her.

"Good." Loki said, Leah sighed, leaning back in the chair.

"They'll land tomorrow. In Chicago."

"Well I will see you then." Loki stood and began to walk away. He stopped turning back to the girl.

"Yes?" Leah asked, moving her bangs from her face.

"Do you have a place to stay tonight?"

"Well I was just gonna sneak into Stark Tower but I don't wanna deal with JARVIS."

"You are welcome to stay with me. My home has a guest bedroom." Leah stood and smiled. "Thank you, Loki."

"Of course, Leah." They headed off to Loki's home, talking quietly. It was odd to say the least. Not so long ago they had been trying to kill each other and now they were talking like old friends.

Loki's home was beautiful to say the least. How he got it, she didn't ask. He led her to the guest room, smiling as he did so. It was a real, genuine smile. Leah noted that he had quite the attractive smile. The guest room was quite huge, nothing Leah would have expected.

"It's…huge." Leah said as she walked in, shock evident on her face.

"Thank you. It's not decorated but there are sheets and blankets in the closet."

"No, it's perfect" Leah was awestruck as she sat down on the king sized bed. It was softer than a cloud. Definitely softer than those damn beds on the Heli Carrier. Leah slept on the floor most nights.

"Would you like a drink, Leah?"

"Sure. Got any Scotch?" Loki chuckled.

"Indeed. I will be right back." Loki left to get the drinks and Leah lay down on the bed. It was than she realized how tired she was. Soon enough she had fallen asleep. Her long midnight black hair falling in her face.

"One Scotch…" Loki smiled softly when he saw Leah asleep. He set the drinks down, went to get a blanket out of the closet. He covered her up and moved the hair from her face. What he saw shocked him. She looked so innocent, like nothing bad had ever happened to her. Yet she had been through so much. He, himself had put her through a lot. They had talked quietly as they walked to his home, he found out a lot about her and she had found out a lot about him. After a bit, Loki sighed and headed to his own room. In just a few hours they would attack and he knew that if Leah still cared about her friends, almost anything could get her to rejoin them, to change her mind and fight against him. He smiled though, as a thought came to him. Thor was on Asgard, his friends would not have his aid during the attack. He could still rule Midgard. Leah at his side. He smiled slightly at that thought. Of ruling Midgard with Leah. Sighing again, Loki sat on his bed, deciding to sleep a bit before the attack. He would need his strength, something was telling him this battle would be a big one.
