1. Prologue

This story takes place after "Thor: The Dark World" and just before the events of "Captain America: The Winter Soldier."

Loki had left Asgard, without anyone knowing he had even returned, after the battle on the Dark World.

Odin still lives on as King of Asgard while Thor and Jane are beginning their lives together on Earth.

But unforeseen events cause an irreparable rift in The Avengers team.

Trust becomes key in surviving a crisis when assistant becomes limited and a lost option.

Will The Avengers be able to adjust to the hindrances or will they be forced to disband?
