Chapter I: Crystal
Loki's Prov:
I walk down the cold and wet street's of New York watching as every Midguardian passes me, can you believe it? Once upon a time I was the one trying to take over this busy town of lights, bringing chaos wherever I roamed and now? I am exiled in this god forsaken place my powers are limited I can only perform small, short lasting illusions, most of them are illusions of my home, my palace, my thrown. I sigh in frustration just thinking about it and decide to head to the place where I resided for now. It is nothing like my home in Asgard, I almost always think about home now, since the infinity stone that brought me and my brother here is gone there is no way of re-creating that portal to take us home, well at least me home. I will take my thrown back one way or another! I can assure that. As I walked down the quiet street, close to my small home I hear footsteps of someone running and gun shots, I tread carefully knowing about what these Midguardian weapons can do and since my powers are limited I wish not to die in such a petty way. I am close to the corner of the street when I am brought to the ground by someone running right into me, As I manage to sit up I see the girl who ran into me.
"You stupid Midguardian! Watch where you are going you slimy little-"
And then the twit cut me off!
"Shh!"
She starts off in a hushed tone.
"You can insult me latter but if the guy's from Hydra find us we will both be in serious trouble and if you don't like being experimented on then I suggest you shut your trap!"
She whispers to me harshly as she hurries herself up off the ground, I had little information on this hydra group but even I knew they where bad news but what would they want with a regular Midguardian peasant like her? I stare at her blankly as she puts her hand in front of me implying to help me up off the ground. Please! Does she really think me as that helpless?
"Well come on!"
She say's in a hurry as we here the sound of heavy combat boots running down the street, I get up myself as the girl looks at me then nods.
"Follow me"
She say's running in the opposite direction of my small apartment. I sigh knowing she was right in running form these men and so in the reasoning of saving my life I run after her, we traveled down many wet ally way's that looked like dumps, until we reached the old abandoned theater and she bolts in and of coarse I follow. The theater itself was dark yet I could still see the dark red carpets that covered the floor and the concession stand, and everything else as I look over, I could even still smell the popcorn they once made here. We both stand near the door and heard them come by the doors soon the sound of there boots running down the street fade off, she let's out a chuckle.
"What a rush"
She grins as she walks out and look down both ends of the ally and then looks over to me and sighs awkwardly.
"Sorry about that, I did not mean to frighten you out there, just doing what I do I guess..."
She say's to me, in the light of the street lamp I was now able to see her full appearance, she had very curly, abundant, auburn hair that was tied up, with incredibly blue eye's that almost glowed brightly with out any source of light and she was wearing a long leather trench coat that shone in the light of the street lamp.
"It is no problem, I have done it before and I must admit it never get's any better"
She nods at my reply agreeing with me.
"You know I never did catch your name"
She say's to me I hesitate, if I tell her my real name there is the chance she will cause a fight since Midguardians don't exactly tend to my liking. Quick Loki think of a Midguardian name before she become suspicious of you and finds out! Come on any name...hmm...I got it!
"My name is James..."
Oh dear god Oiden tell me she buy's it, and to my surprise she smiles a little and begins to walk away still facing me.
"Well nice meeting you James, maybe we will meet again under better circumstances"
She said and yet something bothered me, there was one thing I needed to know from her and that was her name, well it only seemed fair since she asked me of mine although I did not give my real name, but what do you expect from the god of mischief and lies?
"Wait, before you go I must ask, what is your name?"
She smirks facing me as she slowly still walks off.
"I will leave that to your imagination..."
She then turns the corner, I let out a sigh of desperation as I turn around and head back up down the streets we ran down, thinking to myself that if I can't know her real name then I will give her one to put my mind at ease, I walk into the apartment that was of course under surservience by Shield 24/7 I must admit this was no way to live at all, I take off my coat and flop on my couch and brush my hand through my long thick raven black hair, I look up at the sealing. A name, think of a name, Auburn? No that is terrible Loki, not original at all! Hmm...Crystal? Again not at all original, wait I got it Celestia, Yes I like that a lot now, for some rest since there is nothing else better to do...
H.Y.D.R.A Base:
"Sir we have found the girl you asked us to find but unfortunately we lost her..."
One of the general say's to the other.
"WHAT!? God dammit how hard is it to find one red headed girl? I mean it would be understandable with her powers but still!"
He yells at the top of his lungs obviously very frustrated.
"Actually Sir she never even used her powers once..."
He say's almost mumbling it under his breath.
"Oh my god you are kidding me right now right?"
He asks the general of the squad.
"N-no.."
He utters and to his surprise the man chuckles.
"General, I hope you know what happens to people who don't get the jobs we assign done, because I am holding you responsible if you or your men screw this up again and you know our penalties don't you?"
he say's very calmly.
"Yes sir..."
He say's with a hint of fear in his voice and after a long pause he asks.
"If you don't mind me asking...Why is this girl so important?"
The other man gives a disturbing grin.
"Well it is a good thing you ask so you know how badly you screwed up and how important she is so you don't mess up again... See some of our men who weren't weaved out of Shield found a mysterious file about an unknown substance claimed to be in the Himalayan mountains, close to the area of where is passes through China, so naturally we went out there and found something quit extraordinary..."
He leads him into a room where a giant chunk of this electric blue crystal was.
"Now this is what the Chinese call 'Lán hún shĺ' or in English 'The blue soul stone' which is said to have it's own energy source and can destroy and create worlds, the crystal itself is a mix of science and magic combined into one! But the legend states only those chosen by the gods can with stand the power it obtains...We have been running tests on some people by placing shatds of this crystal in there hearts and well they all exploded...but that girl has almost a quarter of her heart made out of shards of this powerful substance in her, and after 20 years of this thing in her hasn't exploded! Now with her powers we can now take down Shield and even take over the world...Now I expects you to dream up a good plan and get the girl!"
He demands and in fear of what the general has just let escape, scurries off.
