Hi guys. My name's Jessika Rogers. SHIELD's posting this file so the world really knows what happened in New York that night. So my team and I will be telling our story. Any comments, Scarlett?

Hey. I'm Scarlett Stark. I'm the awesome one. Here's the story of how we saved the world. It was epic.

And... yeah, okay. So, don't blow up, I guess... Wait! Scarlett! Don't touch Excalibur- it's electric!

I do what I want.

Great, how do I explain this to Uncle Tony? Okay. Well, enjoy, I guess.

Disclaimer: If I owned the Avengers, Natasha and Clint would have gotten married, and Clintasha would be everywhere. ((And I would get Loki:3 -S))

Prologue

Earth

The Stark twins hated mornings.

Their father always managed to surprise them, once a month, right on schedule. They didn't need a alarm clock, their dad woke them up at 5, and if there wasn't time for the big surprise, their mom would be knocking on their door at six o' clock, no matter what.

It was slightly more fun when their cousin came to visit. Jessika always slept with her knife under her pillow (okay, sometimes it was a taser). And it was great to wake up to their dad gagged and strapped to a chair, then look over to see a tiny girl passed out on the inflatable bed, knife in hand.

On those mornings they slept in until eight.

Toni, who didn't always have the best relationship with her dad, would stumble down to breakfast and leave the untying to her sister, Beame.

But, apparently not today. Instead of Toni waking up to her dad struggling against her rolly chair , she gained consciousness just in time to hear Jessika scream in fear.

Leaving the sunny shores of California, Christi Barton laughs as her father plays his video game. A guard on the screen says something about arrows and knees, and right on cue, an ancient Nordic arrow is sticking out of the guy's knee. The man pulls his sword, but it's too late. Her father reloads the game and passes the guard again, this time without the casualties.

"Bedtime kiddo", her dad says. Christi leaves the room without complaint.

"Night Dad, love you." She says.

"Love you too, honey" he responds and leaves the room.

After the door is closed, Christi leans under her bed. She pulls out a bow and arrow, aims at a poster on the far side of the room, and fires straight into the forehead of the most dangerous criminal in the nine realms- Loki.

Other realms

Venus wakes with a start. She sits up in bed, panting. "That's not good" she says under her breath. She dresses quickly, then runs out of the room.

"Apollo!" she calls, and her brother appears, trying to catch up.

"Venus" he gasps. "I had the craziest dream"

"Hush." she snaps. "We must talk to father."

"You're right. If Loki's escaped..."

Venus nods, as they reach the throne room. The siblings throw open the door and everyone stares as they walk in, and stop before their father. They kneel down.

"My father you are wise" Apollo says. "You know the secrets of all the known realms. So we ask you kindly-"

"What are you not telling us?"

"Where is my egghead brother?"

Jonathan looks up from the latest issue of Seventeen Magazine at his big sister, Nikki.

"Who? Me? Or Ethan?" he jokes.

"Ethan! Why should I ask you where you were? That's stupid."

"He's probably still mad at you. You hurt him really badly back there."

"I had to! Papa's out! He escaped! It's time to stop to stop hiding! And he's still acting like he cares about that snobby little princess. We have to prepare for the arrival of our father."

Jonathan nods, placing his magazine on the side table. "So our father, who abandoned us when we were babies, is now going to be our lord and master."

Nikki glares at her brother. "He did not abandon us. And anyway, Lord Loki is much better than that gullible king."
