We entered a room, it was a rather grand room at that-soft looking couches tables spread around, a meeting room indeed. I noticed Aversa doodling at one of the tables and went to sit with her. She gave me a rather rueful grin and continued her drawing-A tree struck by lightning. Ironic she would say.

"Hey Thor are you flirting?"

Tony doesn't yet grasp how terrible that comment was. But I just might have to out myself, thankfully Aversa didn't make a disgusted look which might have clued Loki that something wasn't quite right. I looked back Aversa-her honey colored hair had darkened and looked more like her mothers red honey. She was tanner too, her eyes still a nice shade of emerald green-just like my brothers-Just like Her mothers glamour.

"Well Agent Tallahas, would you impart your information?"

Hill was snappy today, she'd almost died earlier so I didn't hold it against her;

"Which information madam?"

Hill frowned at Aversa;

"The one about the mage that's been attacking people."

She nodded at the statement;

"He's known as Hemlock- and his objective is to single handedly bring down as much of Shield as he can."

The others nodded and Loki scoffed;

"You think he won't be able to? You were half dead and under someone else's control and look at what you did."

Loki scowled at her;

"What would you know of magic mortal?"

The words hissed at her, she stiffened and shook her head;

"Who knows?"

Loki strolled forward and tipped the table, Aversa merely looked up at him-I would say she looked bored had I not noticed the glimmer in her eyes, she'd wanted to challenge her uncle for some time. Had I only said something of her birth, which I hadn't for so long...why did she even allow me near her?

"Are you challenging me Loki?"

She was quite calm for someone about to get what they wanted;

"What would you know of a challenge!"

He was mad, of course he was mad she wasn't showing him respect. He still had a long way to go before he was once more my brother.

"Thy may choose what weapon thee wants."

He stiffened at the smooth comment, but replied with venom;

"Any and all."

She smiled;

"So shall it be. Shall you bare witness Thor, Odin's son?"

I nodded, why not. My daughter and my brother at odds already, she was half our age-being five hundred years old. She stood and kicked her chair away from herself as I also rose;

"Don't do too much damaged Aversa-Loki."

My daughter smiled and nodded and Loki for once actually looked confused;

"Let us start then uncle dearest."

Which made the air in my lungs spew out and Loki's eyes to widen as she pulled her staff out of where ever it had been. Slamming it into Loki's chest before he could even begin to comprehend what she'd just said, he whirled-instincts kicking in and threw several knifes her way, which she turned to butterflies for the hell of it.

"Come uncle dearest! You surly can do better!"

And twirled her staff and slapped the butt of it on the ground-lightning streaking towards my brother, who blocked it with ice, that turned into a giant bird that eventually turned to a wolf. Aversa was laughing by this point, she rushed forward as the wolf turned to smoke-she went to strike Loki physically and stopped right before striking him in the face. Stale mate-both could and probably would kill each other right at this point;

"I do believe it's a draw. Now clean up this mess."

Aversa turned and bowed to me before waving her staff-the room going back to what it had looked like before the fight.

"Now what did you want to know about Hemlock?"

Everyone gave her a look that seemed to say are you crazy?

"He's not going to stand a chance against a god and a goddess."

Clint said. Aversa smiled at the comment;

"True, Loki's gonna kick his ass. No doubt about that, he was playing with me."

Loki gave her a look of contempt;

"You were playing."

She looked at him;

"Yeah, Father wouldn't be happy if I hurt you after all."

I nodded my agreement to the statement;

"She meant no harm brother-only to test the waters."
Loki stared at my child and huffed;

"You can lie."

I chuckled;

"Yes I can. But mother knew, she knew the moment I came back after seeing Aversa for the first time-Mother helped me find a place for her when Aversa's mother died even."

Loki sighed and chose to sit down;

"Where is Hemlock planning to attack my niece?"

Aversa smiled;

"Why I never thought you'd ask!"

And she told us everything she knew-getting everyone in on the conversation. The battle would be fantastic with both my daughter and brother at my sides.
