Chapter One

"Artemis Shrewer." She said to the counter lady, who according to the name tag was Karen. Karen typed away into her computer the name of the girl in front of the desk. A-r-t-e-m-i-s S-h-r-e-w-e-r. Artemis had been in the building before but Karen apparently didn't remember her by her face. The woman was pretty old, given, so Artemis waited patiently. Karen looked up from the computer, her eyes scanning Artemis' face through her bifocals.

"Haven't you been here before?" she asked with her scratchy voice that pricks at everyone's ears. It annoyed Artemis but being the kindhearted girl that she was she smiled and nodded instead of complaining.

"Oh I should have recognized you. Darn these blasted things; they never seem to work right." Karen pushed her glasses up the bridge of her nose with a sweet smile upon her lips. She handed over a badge with Artemis' name printed on it still smiling.

"Thank you." Artemis said then headed to the top floor of the building. She decided to take the stairwell as she feels that the elevator is both useful to some and also a lazy way to get around.

There was plenty of stairs that if an average an average person climbed all of them as she was they would have broken a sweat, but not Artemis. Artemis ran in marathons when she was younger and she did rather well. She was ranked third in the state of Minnesota until she broke her leg in nine places and could not run like that anymore. She can still run but not in a 15K meter run or even a 7k meter run.

After she graduated college, she moved to New York in hope to be part of the New York Times. She realized it had been a bad choice on her part because in the same year she had moved New York was attacked. A man by the name of Loki and his army called the Chitauri almost completely destroyed the state. Streets were ablaze with flames and petrified people littered the windows of the buildings they hid in. They watched as the city began to burn.

Artemis had been in the middle of the whole thing. She had been taken to safety by Natasha Romanov, an agent of a corporation known as SHIELD. Natasha had her special skill set but all that Artemis had was her mind. Natasha found out that Artemis had "abilities" when she saved her from a Chitauri trooper. Artemis was convinced to help out with her telepathy by controlling a choice few of the Chitauri and forcing them upon their own kind. She helped the Avengers win by burning the other Chitauri from the inside out until they could stop the monsters from coming through the portal in the sky.

When the Avengers went to face the man called Loki she stood with AGENT Barton as they took Loki into chains and muzzled him. She stood with Barton as both Thor and Loki left to Asgard their home world. He had stared at her intently as if he could read her thoughts, but she of all knew he could not. When she was young she had learned how to block up her mind from anyone who dared enter it. The God of Mischief himself would not be able to penetrate the wall. As the teseract took them home she prayed that she would never see Loki again.

After climbing the hundreds of stairs to the top of the building, Artemis was greeted by Steve Rogers, the first Avenger, also known as Captain America. He smiled as he walked her into the large room through the golden door. By through, it was a holographic door that Tony Stark was beta testing on all of the SHIELD agents and workers. The Avengers were just lucky enough that it was their main door. By their faces of annoyance they were enthralled. Steve obviously didn't like it as his face was staring into Tony with discontent. Artemis sat down in the corner chair next to the potted fern. She kept a pad of paper and a pen behind it so she grabbed it and prepared herself for the notes she was going to need to take for November's first Avengers meeting since October. They make it out to be such a huge thing when it is obviously not and this is when Artemis really wants to just take a nap in her room instead.

Artemis joined the SHIELD Corporation to help people and the Avengers. She finds that she enjoys being useful rather than just destructive as she has been in the past. Fury also recommended that she join because of her gifts or "abilities." She could do many things but she only lets people know certain ones that are not of great importance, like Telepathy, and enhanced cognitive functions. She had more but those are the only ones the Avengers know, except Thor who knows almost everything about her.

Fury charged into the room with Thor on his tail. Thor was saying something about what someone could do and she wasn't paying any attention except for when her name was mentioned. She looked up with a confused expression and seen Fury carrying a vast amount of papers in his hands until he set them down on the large table. He passed out several of them and Artemis was surprised they knew she was there. She only glanced at the papers for a brief second because she knew that Fury would do a shorter version of it in a smaller amount of time than reading the entire stack of papers that everyone got. The only person reading was Tony Stark. The man thought he was smarter than her but clearly he was not as the very computer he designed malfunctioned and she had fixed it. Jarvis was interesting for the most part though she had to admit, even though he was made by an inferior man like Stark.

"I would gladly like to explain the numerous amounts of dead tree in your hands but I do not have the clearance to discuss such things without the approval of the King of Asgard. Obviously I don't have the approval and Thor does so he will explain these papers instead of me." Fury stated and backed up so that Thor could take his place at the front of the table. Artemis was surprised by this also. A day of surprises leads to a life of dismay, her mother used to say before she was killed in Russia. It wasn't murder but it wasn't innocent either. It was a rock slide caused by two idiots playing with TNT. Her mother had been camping with some friends when it had happened. Her mothers' friends had also perished in the rockslide.

"As he has stated this is confidential between SHIELD and Asgard…." Thor stopped midsentence to look at Tony's raised hand.

"Yes Mr. Stark?" Fury asked. Tony dropped his hand and smiled from underneath his sun glasses.

"He never said it was confidential." Stark directed his comment at Thor. Thor responded by a blank stare and a shake of the head until he decided to continue on with his lecture or whatever it was called.

"No one is to say a word about this to anyone we have not been authorized to speak of it to. Understood? Swear it right now by the blood of your ancestors." Thor raised his right hand to place it on his heart. The rest of the room did the same, even Artemis did.

"Good. Now do we all remember my brother Loki?" Thor seemed to be staring right at her. Artemis was confused and lost as to why he had to bring up his brother. He was a horrid man, one who destroyed most of New York and was taken away for his crimes. Artemis never wanted to see him again. Thor had sensed the frustrating confusion in the room and continued on with his point.

"He is to be returning to Midgard to serve out a punishment put upon him by my father. Loki is to be stripped of his powers tonight and left in his travel cell until he is delivered later on tomorrow. I will be the one to escort him but we will need a place to stay as I will not put Jane in any form of danger. Remember Loki is still a man and he is still dangerous. Power is not needed to kill someone. So who will be the…uhh." Thor stammered on the last word. Artemis stood up and stomped over to him in an angry fit of rage and slapped him across the face. She could hear Stark and his uproarious laughter over the others.

"You want a babysitter for him!?" She somewhat shouted at him. He was beginning to speak again when he was slapped once more on the other cheek and kicked where it is most dear to a man.

"Well that is a strange way to put it Artemis." Thor groaned in pain.

"Yeah, Artemis, you should have said more like a warden ha!" Stark continued to laugh until a large stapler was chucked at his head along with a sharp pen.

"Stark shut the Hell up! Were you almost made his servant? I don't think so. I would have rather been shoved out the window!" She was raging and losing her temper. Thor touched her arm gently and with a soothing melody hummed her tension away. She never knew how he could do that but she always thought it as he was just good with music even though it is not classically music.

"Now that Artemis has calmed down we should have a vote on whom he will have his chambers in with. Stark do you have the capability to perform such a task?" Thor asked him.

"Sorry Thor, I won't give sanctuary to a homicidal maniac, but I will nominate Artemis as she lives in the middle of nowhere in a smaller house than I."

"What no way." She shook her head. Thor smiled apologetically and called for a vote. The vote was unanimous and Artemis wanted to end it all as she beat her head into the wall, Starks laughter the only thing she could hear except her own cries of sadness.
