Hi guys, I don't own anything except the OC. This is my first 'story' I've done in ages. Let me know if you want me to continue :) Much love for reading. xx

Chapter 1

Loki peered up from his seated position within the glass chamber he was imprisoned in as the sound of footsteps moved towards the tank. A small army of guards flanked Director Fury as he strode towards him taking large steps. The God's gaze turned tightly to the waif of a woman walking besides him currently pulling her long white hair up out of her face who hadn't even the decency to look at him, preoccupied with the tying of her hair, and trotting to keep up with him.

"Are you sure about this Al?" Fury looked down at her raising an eyebrow as they stopped in front of the glass wall, "It could be too early, we can wait…"

"I'll be fine" The pale woman, who could only be in her early 20's yet with wiser older eyes, replied smiling up at him. She shrugged off a thin black jacket revealing a pale blue blouse over grey jeans, passing it to one of the men surrounding the pair.

"Once you're in there… you know if something…" He continued; his voice lowered.

"I'm aware," She glanced up at Loki for the first time, her pale blue eyes seemed to look right through him, barely acknowledging the gap he'd closed between them since their arrival. "I'll be fine" Her voice was soft and unfaltering, as though remarking on something rather superfluous.

"What's this? Bait? A gift?" Loki's velvet voice cut through the air as he stared over at Fury, his right hand raised elegantly gesturing at the girl at his side.

"In an hour I'll require a break, could you have someone bring water and coffee please?" The female's voice cut over Fury's intake of breath, ready to retort, ignoring the God's questions. She looked towards the guards "You can leave." They hesitated for a moment but after Fury's nod of approval they filed slowly out of the room, with him following after he'd thrown Loki a cautious look.

She watched them leave, her back to the cage, before turning slowly back round looking up at the only man left in the room, "Please move back to the other side" She addressed him softly "Sir".

Loki's head tilted slightly as his eyes narrowed, remaining rooted to the spot he was stood in, his height towered over her even with the thick glass between them.

She let out a soft sigh "Please, this is going to take long enough as it is without you playing games." She nodded towards the bench at the back of the cage "Please move back" Her tone of voice level. Loki's smirk grew as he took a few steps backwards, before turning and walking the rest of the way, barely hearing the hiss of the door opening and closing. Once seated he looked up to find her barely a meter closer than she was last, this time inside the glass room.

"Thank you" Her voice carried no gratitude as she paced forwards to the middle of the cage, before dropping slowly to the floor facing him, crossing her legs, her hands resting gently on her knees. Loki's eyes widened slightly as he watched this woman approach him with ease, without fear or the looks that the rest of the agents on the ship bore him. Her breathing was even and loud within the silence of the sealed room, her body perfectly still as he watched her.

"You're playing a strange game mortal," Loki hissed at her as he stood, striding towards her quickly.

"Please be quiet," She shot back, closing her eyes, breathing out slowly.

He stopped, his boots a hairs breadth from her fingers, looking down her small form. "What are you doing?" His voice low, "Who are you? Tell me."

"Please" Her voice strained, almost with annoyance, her eyes squeezing tighter shut, trying to concentrate.

He moved like lightning, darting down, his long fingers snaked around her swan like neck, lifting her from the ground with ease, her toes barely brushing the floor. Her hands instantly wrapping round his wrist as he began to squeeze, pulling her face close to his. Loki's dark emerald eyes staring at her as she kept hers squeezed shut.

"This won't help" She squeaked out staring back at him.

"Won't help what?" He asked coolly, bringing her closer to him so her lips grazed his ear, barely able to hear the last breaths leaving her mouth.

"Either of us," She gasped, her voice faint.

He dropped her quickly, watching her body crumple to the floor in a heap of gasps and coughs as she attempted to regain her breath.

"Pray tell why killing you wouldn't help me," Loki began to circle her, his hands clasped behind his back. "For I already appear to be in custody," His hands lifted to bare their surroundings in a grand fashion, "And as the toll holds adding another death of your pathetic race should bare no new consequence."

"Then why bother?" Her voice a little louder now, "Like I said before, this will take long enough as it is, please don't drag it out."

"Drag WHAT out?" He bellowed. Loki's hand reached down grabbing her hair in a fist forcing her to look up at him. Her eyes flicked open and what he saw caused his grip on her white locks to tighten. Where cool blue iris's once were now images flickered; as though a slideshow appeared to be running through her eyes. He crouched down slowly pulling her head towards his, staring into the show of her eyes, he began to recognise the faces in the moving images to be those of his adopted parents, of the cities of Asgard, of him and Thor as young men, of Thor's friends. His grip on her hair dropped letting her head fall forwards as he stepped back.

"What are you doing?" His voice deadly

"Learning," She replied quietly, "If the Agents can't work out how to stop this war, hopefully somewhere inside you there'll be an answer to how."

"Stop" He hissed "Stop now" His voice rose, Loki's eyes flicking to the security cameras before reaching down grabbing the girl easily with his higher being strength and throwing her body like a ragdoll at one of the walls, hearing the sickening crunch as her skull made contact with the glass. Her body lay motionless, a pool of red satin appearing around her hear, diving into the patterned creases in the tiles on the floor.
