Cold. Cold and pain is all she felt, she coughed to try to get the dust out of her throat. It did no good. The last thing she could remember was watching as Tony flew into the wormhole with the nuke that was aimed at New York. And then the section of the bridge that she was standing on collapsed, she was grateful for 'borrowing' one of the many iron suits that Tony had made. But in this case it did no good, she lifted her head to see a metal rod sticking out from her gut. She could feel her blood seeping into her clothes that she wore under the gold and red iron suit, her arms were free and she tried to reach for the mask to the suit that had fallen off in the collapse. The movement made the rod shift in her stomach, making her scream, she was able to grab the mask and put it on. She pressed a button and it lit up.

"J.A.R.V.I.S?"

"Ah, Miss Jones. How can I help you?" The automated man's voice said.

"Can you. *Cough*. show me a scan of my body? Please."

"Right away miss Jones."

Her skeleton showed up onto the small screen of the iron mask. She had no broken bones, thank God, but the rod had pierced the other side of her body as well. But miraculously it had missed vital organs, she was losing blood. "Did Tony make it?"

"Yes, Mr. Stark is alive."

"Good, can you pin-point my location?"

"Unfortunately... No, the GPS was damaged in the fall, but I could have the others search for you."

"Yes, please do, and have them hurry. I don't know how long I can keep from going unconscious."

"Right away, ma'am."

The mask went dark and she took it off, thanks to her sensitive eyes she could see in the dark. There were cars, bikes, and those damned creatures around her, she swallowed to wet her throat. She sighed and rubbed her eyes, this is not how she thought that she would die. Wait, when she would finally die. She had died before, but only to be saved by some cat that she had saved before, as it turned out, that cat had a gift. And now she had the senses and reflexes of a cat. She could feel her self slipping away, she started to panic.

"TONY, CLINT, STEVE, BRUCE, NATASHA, THOR! HELLO CAN ANYONE HEAR ME!" She yelled, but it only made the muscles of her stomach clench around the rod, making her scream again. Another name came to mind, she didn't want to think of that man. But he came to her mind anyway, she had no choice but to at least try to call out his name. She breathed in what air she had, "LOKI YOU BASTARD IF YOU CAN HEAR ME, FIND A WAY TO GET ME OUT OF HERE!" Either it was real or she had lost her mind, because she heard Thor calling her name.

"SISTER ALEXX, ARE YOU HERE?!" Thor yelled.

He heard her voice bellow his feet, he turned to face the others behind him. He pointed to The Hulk. "You there, Brother Bruce."

He responded with a grunt.

"Sister Alexx is trapped under us, can you move the debris so we can get to her?"

He responded with a grunt and a nod, and began to move away the rubble. Tony Stark moved his arms to get Hulk's attention. He stopped what he was doing.

"Hold on there, big guy. You may want to hear this." Tony pressed a button on his own mask, "Alright J.A.R.V.I.S what were you saying?"

"What I was saying, Mr. Stark, was that miss Jones' legs are trapped under the debris. They aren't broken, but I must warn you, she is badly injured."

"How bad J.A.R.V.I.S?" Clint asked.

"She has a metal rod in her abdomen, Mr. Barton." J.A.R.V.I.S replied

"OH, COME THE FUCK ON!" Steve yelled.

"Calm down, Cap." Tony said. "We'll get her, and then we'll find that son of a bitch Loki. Okay Thor?" He said turning to the Demi-god.

"Fine, lets just get to Sister Alexx. Brother Bruce, continue with caution."

The Hulk responded, yet again, with a grunt and proceeded with what he was doing. Clint walked over to Steve, and put a hand on his shoulder. He knew that Captain America had a crush on their friend who was known as Cat Woman,

"We'll get her out, Cap. Don't worry."

Steve turned around and sighed, "Yea, I know, but first Phil and know Alexx? Does Loki know no bounds?"

Barton sighed and shook his head, "I don't think it was Thor's brother's plan to hurt or even kill Alexx. I think that-"

"How could you even say that, Hawkeye! He caused all of this in just one day!" Steve said as he gestured around him, Barton looked around. True, the God of Mischief had caused this in just one day, but then again, he also remembered how Loki had looked at Alexx when they had first caught him. The look in Loki's eyes told Barton all he needed to know. He looked back at Steve when he started to speak again. "And I'll be damned if i'm just going to let him get away with this, Clint!"

"Your friend is right, mortal, I did not and do not intend to hurt her." Loki's silky smooth voice said out of no where.

"Okay, reindeer games. Where are you?" Tony asked as he moved his hand through the air.

"Right here, mortal." He said as he appeared behind Stark. Tony jumped and whipped around, he backed away.

"Nice trick, but I have a better one." Tony said as he put up his right hand, aimed, and blasted fire from his glove at Loki. Loki jumped to the side, avoiding the hit. He gave a mischievous grin and pointed his staff at Tony, "Do you really think that a mere mortal can kill me?"

"No, but I can try." Steve said as he lunged at Loki, Barton tried to grab his sleeve, but failed miserably. Steve was trowing punches at the God of Mischief, a few hit and a few didn't. A loud clap of thunder sounded through the air as Thor sauntered over to his brother, he grabbed Steve's fist to keep him from throwing any more punches.

"Enough, Brother Steven. It does no good to take your rage out on him, even if he does deserve it."

Steve grunted and walked away, Natasha chased after him. Thor turned back to his brother and punched him in the face. Loki chuckled and put a finger up to his nose and looked at his blood, "I thought you said that it did no good, brother."

"It doesn't, but it made me feel a little better. Whether you intended on hurting her or not, she was still injured. And quite badly."

"Yes, so I heard, I do feel bad. A little." He said as he turned to the hole where Bruce had been at moments before. He walked over to it and looked over the edge. Tony had the urge to push his ass down into the hole, but re-thought it and walked over to the hole and dropped down inside. He could see that Bruce had shifted back to a normal human being, and had tied a sheet of some sort around his waist.

"So, Dr. Banner, where is she?"

Banner shook his head, "I can't see her, and I think she has gone unconscious."

Tony sighed, "Damn."

"Yea... Wait, do you hear that?"

Tony heard what he was talking about, what was it? Humming, singing, crying? What ever it was it had to be her, he walked towards the sound as it became louder as he got closer. He finally spotted her, he ran to her and dropped to one knee. He turned his head as Banner walked up behind him. Her hand gripped his arm as she coughed, she turned her head slightly to his face.

"Tony..." She said before her eyes closed and her head rolled to the side.

"Fuck, not a good sign, come on Bruce help me get her out."

"Okay."

...x.X.x...

I awoke to see a white ceiling above me, I heard the beeping of a monitor beside me, and the snoring of a man in the chair on the other side of me. I sat up in the bed and felt a pain in my abdomen, I pulled away the covers and looked at my legs. My pail white skin was covered in bruises and scratches, I lifted up my white hospital gown and looked at my stomach, there was a circular scar on my right side. I looked to my right at the man sleeping in the chair next to me, I smiled when I saw that it was Steve Roges. I had the sudden urge to use the bathroom, I swung my legs off of the mattress and onto the cold tile floor, I wobbled a little when I stood but regained my balance and walked to the bathroom. I stared at my reflection in the mirror, my sun-bleached-blond hair was a mess, I had cuts on my cheeks, and my turquoise colored eyes had dark circles under them. I laughed at myself, I must have looked like something out of a horror movie, I sighed and walked out of the bathroom and over to the window. The view was incredible, the sun was setting, which made it even more beautiful, I spotted my bag out of the corner my eye. I walked over to it and opened it, inside was some of my clothes, books, my MP3 player, and a tape recorder, I reached for the tape recorder and hit the 'play' button,

"Greetings Sister Alexx," I smiled as I heard Thor's voice on the tape, "I hope you're feeling well, Loki and I will be traveling back to Asgard soon, but we all wanted to-" Thor's voice was cut off and I heard scuffling over the recorder. Then I heard Barton's voice over the tape,

"What are you trying to do? Make her worry? Look, Alexx, what Thor is trying to say is that we are going to look after your stuff while your... not here. Nat is going to look after your apartment and your pets, Thor is taking Loki to see what to do with him, and Cap, Tony, Bruce and I are going to take turns watching you while your in the Hospital. Just don't worry, okay?" I heard whooping in the background. "Tony! What the fuck have you done!" I heard Natasha shout.

"I found Alexx's diary!" My heart stopped when I heard him say that,

"Tony don't you dare!" Bruce shouted.

"Too late, I've already opened it! Oh, look there's something in here about me!"

I heard Nat laugh, "I wouldn't read that if I were you."

"Huh, is that all she thinks of me? I'm hurt." I heard the sarcasm in his voice, and then I heard Loki's smooth like voice over the recording.

"I have to agree with the Widow on this one. This mortal will not be happy when she finds out you are going through something personal of her's."

"Can it. Reindeer games, okay?"

Loki sighed, "Fine, i'm going to go out to the Balcony."

"Hold on Reindeer games, there's one in her about you, wait make that a few."

"I don't care, i'm not going to be part of your petty games."

"Well, you should care about a few in here." Tony stated.

"Okay! I think that has been enough, I'm just going to turn this off now." I heard Steve say on the tape, and then the recording turned off.

Several days later, Alexx was released from the Hospital, Bruce was the one driving her home. Only they didn't go to her house, she looked over at the Doctor,

"Bruce, this isn't the way to my apartment."

"I know." He said. "Director Fury has ordered all of us to move to Stark Towers."

Alexx groaned, "Do I have to share a room with anyone?"

He laughed and shook his head. "No, Lexi, just with your cats. But if you want, one of us could, at some point."

She laughed, "No thanks, nothing personal, but I just like my freedom."

"Hey, look, I understand, but be ready for the Tony, Clint, and Steve to bother you."

"Heh, I always am, Bruce, I always am." She said.
