Chapter One-
Aelia awoke strapped to the all too familiar laboratory chair, doctor-scientist all around the room. "You seem to be doing quite well my pet, are you ready for your next dose?" The doctor held up a vile that contained some green liquid.
Aelia, who had her mouth covered, violently shook her head. Desperately screaming for them to stop, tears pouring out from her eyes. The doctor grabbed ahold of Aelia's skinny arm, his gigantic hand completely wrapping around, he positioned his hand to inject her with the vile.
There was banging noises coming from all around the tiny room, causing the doctor to turn his attention away from the tiny girl. Within those short few moments the door to the lab was broken off its hinges, causing the scientists to collapse to the ground beneath them.
A mysterious man appeared in front of them all, making his way toward Aelia causing her to squeal in fear inching herself lower into the seat. The man took this as a sign to show her he meant to harm to her, he reached for the mask he wore and pulled it off. She stared at his features, his blonde hair was slicked back neatly, and his eyes were an icy blue that held a look of compassion. She had never seen anyone like him before, she was astonished.
In this laboratory she had only seen ungroomed devious men that liked to torture other beings, but this man he wanted to help her. He wanted to take her away from here.
He knelt down beside her and began unhooking the latches that held her small wrist and ankles, when she was finally free he looked up into her eyes. A breathless sensation took over her as the emotion underneath his eyes spoke deeply into her, some how she felt as though he would always be able to help her. To guide her into the right direction
The silence between them was broken when the quiet super solider finally spoke to her, "I am Steve Rogers, do not worry any longer ma'am. I am her to rescue you." His voice was like velvet, smooth and clear. Aelia's dark amber eyes stared into his blue ones and just nodded her head as he picked up the tiny thin girl in his arms, into safety.
Aelia opened her eyes remembering the day Captain Rogers rescued her from that laboratory, she flew through the grand atmosphere around her, her chocolate red hair flowing in every direction possible, the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier was in view. Steve could be seen on the outside waiting for her to arrive with a small amused smile on his face.
It had been along while since Aelia and Steve had last seen each other.
"Hello Steve," She called to him landing swiftly onto the deck of the Helicarrier.
"Hello ma'am... Aelia." He looked down at her, her small frame still resembling as it had the night he rescued her. She wasn't as thin as he recalled but she could easily be broken in two. "Please follow me," The super solider offered the healer his arm, which she hesitantly took smiling up at him.
They walked silently together through the halls, Aelia stole quick glances at him occasionally, he hadn't changed in the two years she had been away. The two got to the end of the hallway when Steve let go of her arm, motioning for her to enter the room first.
The room around her was maraculas, there were a large amount of people at large computer like machines. In the upper center region of the room sat a large round table, she looked back at Steve questionably, he only shrugged his shoulders offering her a seat next to him.
Nick Furry, the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D agency, stood in front of the room. "Ladies and gentlemen," The Director began, Steve moved towards him looking bewildered at the sight of the massive room. "Doctor Aelia, Doctor Banner. Thank you for coming." The man with glasses, who stood in the far back corner, nodded to the Director a nervous smile plastered on his face.
"Thanks for asking nicely. So uh… how long am I staying?" Doctor Banner asked the smile still playing at his lips. The Director shrugged at the doctors question.
"Once we get our hands on the tesseract, you're in the clear." Aelia scoffed rolling her amber eyes.
"Where are you with that?" She questioned.
"We're sweeping every wireless accessible camera on the planet. Cell Phones. Laptops. If it's connected to the satellite it's eyes and ears for us."
"That's still not going to find them in time," Agent Romanoff, a wild red headed agent, put in very knowingly, she balanced on her toes staring at the computer screen Nick Furry was looking at. Aelia walked beside her.
"Of course not, Tasha. It will take forever." Aelia pipped in looking over the agents shoulder. "You have to narrow the field." She continued, catching everyone's attention. Director Furry raised his eye brow at their newest member.
"How so?"
"How many spectrometers do you have access to?" Doctor Banner asked, turning all the attention onto him.
"How many are there?" Fury asked.
"Call every lab you know, tell them to put the spectrometers on the roof and calibrate them for gamma rays."
"Then you could rough out a tracking gorithm base on cluster recognition. At least we could rule out a few places," Aelia concluded with a look towards Banner who nodded.
"Exactly, do you have a place for us to work?" Banner asked, turning away from Fury.
"Agent Romanoff, would you show Dr. Banner and Dr. Aelia to their laboratory please." Tasha nodded motioning for the doctors to follow her down the hallway.
"You're going to love it Doctors, we have all the toys," She called over her shoulder.
Bruce and Aelia at first were tense around each other, but after a while of working with one another they had gotten use to each other's presents around the room. A knock came to the door causing both doctors to look up from their work. Steve was standing in the doorway, his blue eyes locked on Aelia. The atmosphere around her brightened up, putting down her equipment she walked towards him a goofy grin filling her face. "I'll be right back." She called to Bruce, who only nodded simply.
Steve led her down to a jet, she looked at the captain befuddled. "What's going on Steve?" She questioned grabbing onto his arm.
"We're going after Loki."
