CHAPTER ONE
"Where to, brother?" Loki looked silently at Thor, wondering if he would regret betraying him this time. He'd taken the Tesseract before escaping the ruins of Asgard and planned on giving it to Thanos in an effort to make up for his previous failures. He finally gained some of his brother's trust back… Did he even want to lose it?
He glanced at Thor out of the corner of his eye. They'd grown closer during the battle against Hela, their sister, and he…
No. He was going to deliver the Tesseract and that was the end of it. It should be no problem since he was undercover. His brother had been right about one thing: he was becoming predictable. But it didn't matter too much — he just saved Thor's people, so he shouldn't be suspected for a while.
Thor gave a small sigh and looked grimly off into the distance. "Earth," he said finally.
So much for little suspicion... Loki's eyes widened slightly and he tried to keep a straight face. Shit.
She had to admit to herself that she missed Robbie. Before she left Los Angeles to go to New York, they'd broken up. Dating during college had been sort of difficult, but not impossible. During that time in her life, she'd known that being across the country from him was temporary. She knew that once she graduated she could always go back to LA.
This time it was a lot harder to think of it as temporary. Her grandfather, the only family she had left, was very sick and she needed to get a job to help pay his hospital bills. Living and working in New York, creating a life for herself… It didn't sound very temporary.
Robbie also had to take care of his own things back in LA. His brother had been reduced to a wheelchair and his uncle put in prison so he was the only source of income.
Ever since the accident, he'd been different.
She tried to tell herself he felt guilty and angry about the ordeal and that it was normal. But not even two days after she got out of the hospital, the entire Fifth Street gang had been murdered.
Robbie seemed a little better after that.
Needless to say, it scared her.
Lillith opened her laptop and checked her email as usual. She noticed one from a woman named Maria Hill.
She quickly clicked on the email and began to read.
Phil Coulson sighed after hanging up with Maria Hill. They'd found another possible Inhuman in New York and were going to look into it. She said the girl was really smart and had been sent an application form for a job at Stark Industries.
She was born and raised in Los Angeles, went to college at Columbia University, and moved back to LA for a month before coming back to New York. Daisy was somewhere in California looking for a possible Inhuman that was murdering people.
Phil slammed his fists on his desk. He wished he knew where Daisy was so he could get her back.
He sighed and checked to make sure his left hand was secure on his arm.
Time to get to work.
