An Au where everyone has a daemon.


Steve stood staring at the screen. It showed Loki, the God of mischief. He was pacing in the glass cage that was built for Bruce, in case he needed to let of a bit of steam. Loki paced back and forth, his blue eyes darting around, looking for a way out. But none of that was want made Steve uncomfortable being round the God.

"Tony?" Steve asked hesitantly

"Yeah capsicle." Stark answer with a playful tone.

"Where's his Daemon?" The question caught the attention of Natasha who was sitting nearby.

"Maybe he doesn't have one" Tony said, his barn owl followed him as he tried to hack into S.H.E.I.D's data system.

"No because Thor has Tuono," Steve said smiling and the memory of the beautiful golden eagle. "Thor is Loki's brother so he must have a Daemon" Steve's sesame coloured Akita, FedeltĂ , barked in agreement

"Thor did say he was adopted though" Tony continued

"Or maybe," Natasha said walking "he has a smaller Daemon, like Ragno." She said as the Milk Snake slithered down her arm.

"Precisely, we don't all have to be big and flashy." The snake directed his torment towards Ferro, Tony's owl.

On the camera the three avengers and their daemons saw Thor walk into the room with Tuono perched on his shoulder. He said something to Loki that unfortunately they couldn't here. They saw Loki shift slightly uncomfortable with his elder brother standing over him, the next thing that happened surprised the avengers. Suddenly Loki dropped to the floor; he curled into a ball and pressed himself against the glass. Shaking, tears running down his face. Thor quickly tensed and looked as if he wanted to break into the cage and hug him.


Lighting flashed across the sky and Thunder soon followed. Rain pelted down hitting the windows of the helicarrier, Thor had disappeared from the view of the camera. He soon burst into the room with his eagle followed by Bruce and his Jaguar, Zanmi.

"What have you done with Malizia?" The thunder God boomed.

"Who Thor we don't know who that is?" Natasha said trying to calm him.

"Loki's Daemon, from what I can guess she is a snow leopard." Bruce said cleaning his glasses.

"You think we did something to her? Thor you've got it wrong, we would never take someone's Daemon away from them Thor. We know how much it hurts."Steve said also using a calm tone of voice.

"Why does he think that we've done this?" Tony asked Bruce. The other man sighed but his glasses back on.

"When he fell to the floor he said "They took her Thor, Malizia. They took her." I believe Thor thinks he meant you but he doesn't. I don't know who he means."

"Thor, What does Malizia look like, we could maybe find her." Natasha said rubbing Thor's back.

"It will be harder than you think Lady Natasha, due to Loki's shape shifting ability Mali' has yet to settle, father thinks she never will. But she does tend to stick to four forms; she is usually a Snow leopard, a white Wolf, a Green Snake or a Snow owl." Thor answered.

"Does anyone else think she likes the snow?" Tony muttered, only Steve heard him but it still got an angry glare off him.

"Avengers," They all turned to see Agent Hill walk up to them followed by her great Moose, Lacus. "Fury wants you to gather in the conference room to discuss the prisoner." As she walked off Thor's grip on Mjolnir tightened, but he followed the other Avengers and their Daemons.


In the conference room Fury sat at the head of the table. At his feet sat a huge lioness. Her name was Gryfder and she was every bit as mean as Fury if not worse.

"What information have we gathered from the prisoner?" He asked impatiently.

"My brother is not a prisoner." Thor shouted as Tuono flew down to the table.

"He is responsible for the deaths of many S.H.E.I.L.D agents; he will pay for what he has done." Gryfder growled at the Thunder God. "Maybe if he gives us the Tesseract we will be more lenient."

"So, I'll repeat the question, what information have you gathered from the prisoner." Tony was sure that Fury but extra emphasis on the word prisoner just to annoy Thor.

"Well his Daemon, Malizia, was taken from him. By whom we don't know." Steve said.

"His behaviour is very off." Bruce said looking at the screen showing Loki. He was again pacing. Angrily striding back and forth, his eyes glowed with impatience.

"What do you mean Banner?" Fury asked standing up.

"Well when we first got him he appeared like he wanted to be here. He was smirking. But as soon as Thor began to interview him, he broke down. He was acting all scared and knows he is back to pacing acting like that moment of weakness never happened. It is almost like he is a different person."Bruce muttered. The avengers carried on watching the pacing God, trying to figure out what was going on in his head. In the end they decided to send Natasha in to talk to him.


All Malizia could remember was darkness. Darkness and falling. She blinked open her bright green eyes, all she could see was a cage; the bars formed darker shadows over her spotted pelt. Something outside of the corner of the cage caught her eye. A fierce creature stood there, watching her. Its steel grey skin faded into the wall, its strange dull blue eyes staring at her. Malizia growled at the strange creature, she tried to stand but she had not prepared for the weight of the thick heavy chain around her neck. It was loose fitting around her neck but it started to feel uncomfortable pressed against the necklace that she wore. It was a black string with a green stone at the end of it. Loki had given it to her when they were 300 years old. It meant the two could survive being away from each other for a couple of weeks. This usually happened if Malizia went to explore the forest. The stone was enchanted protecting the pair from the unbearable agony of being apart from one another. But in those situations Mali' always knew where Loki was. But where was he now? Was he okay? Was he with these strange creatures? These questions swirled around the Snow Leopards head as she once more drifted into unconsciousness.


Loki paced around the glass cage, he hated waiting. But of course that's what you get when you rely on someone else to do your work. Suddenly Loki felt another's presence watching him. He turned to see the famed Black Widow staring at him.

"There's not many people who can sneak up on me." He smirked

"But you figured I'd come?" She said, showing no emotion.

"After… After whatever tortures Fury can concoct. You would appear as a friend, as a balm, and I would cooperate."

"I want to know what you've done to Agent Barton."

"I'd say I've expanded his mind." Loki smiled remembering how he had taken over the young man's mind with the Tesseract.

"And once you've won, once you're king of the mountain, what happens to his mind?"

"Is this love, Agent Romanoff?" The God of Mischief asked mockingly

"Love is for children. I owe him a debt" Natasha retorted. Ragno hissed silently tightening around Natasha's arm.

"Tell me."

"Before I worked for SHIELD, I ah - well, I made a name for myself. I have a very specific skill set. I didn't care whom I used it for, or on. I got on SHIELD's radar in a bad way. Agent Barton was sent to kill me. He made a different call." She stated simply.

"And what will you do if I vow to spare him?"

"Not let you out."

"I know, but I like this. Your world in the balance and you bargain for one man." Loki laughed

"Regimes fall every day. I tend not to weep over that, I'm Russian. Or I was." She shrugged

"And what are you now?"

"It's really not that complicated. I've got red in my ledger, and I'd like to wipe it out."

"Can you? Can you wipe out that much red? Drakoff's daughter, Sao Paulo, the hospital fire. Barton told me everything. Your ledger is dripping, it's gushing red, and you think saving a man no more virtuous than yourself will change anything? This is the basis of sentimentality. This is a child's prayer, pathetic. You lie and kill in the service of liars and killers. You pretend to be separate, to have your own code, something that makes up for the horrors. But they are part of you and they will never go away. I won't touch Barton. Not until I make him kill you, slowly, intimately, in every way he knows you fear. And then he'll wake just long enough to see his good work. And when he screams, I'll split his skull." The God snapped, hitting his hand against the glass. Natasha turned around, gasping.

"This is my bargain, you mewling quim!" Loki spat at the tearful agent.

"You're a monster." She sobbed; Loki felt a wave of satisfaction flood over him.

"You brought the monster." Loki snarled. Agent Romanoff turned around to face the God, completely unfazed by what he had said.

"So, Banner? That's your play." She smirked

"What?" asked the God, who was utterly confused with what had gone on. Natasha turned away from him and spoke into her ear piece.

"Loki means to unleash the Hulk. Keep Banner in the lab, I'm on my way, send Thor as well." She began to walk towards the lab but before she left the room she turned back to face him.

"Thank you, for your cooperation." With that she walked out of the room leaving Loki to his thoughts. Well maybe not his own thoughts. He stood there staring at the door when he heard the voice.

"Not long know, Soon she and all of Midgard will be knelt at your feet." It whispered on a hoarse voice. The statement caused Loki to smile. Soon he would be the king of Midgard. Soon he would get what he wanted.
