THE BEGINNING
Brittany walked down the hallway to Tony's penthouse room. She had always admired STARK Tower, even Stark himself. She walked into the room and looked around then finally spotted Tony, as always, fixing himself a drink at the bar. "Hey Tony" she smiled. Tony looked over and noticed her then smiled "Hey kiddo!" Tony met Britt when she was caught by S.H.E.I.L.D. she had amazingly powerful super-powers, and even though she didn't know it quite yet herself, she was deathly. She'd grown on Tony and he decided to legally take her in as his own. For the past three years she had been lying low, barely using her powers unless absolutely needed by S.H.E.I.L.D. Since she's been with Tony, she's been trained by Clint Barton and Natasha Romanoff two of the world's deadliest assassins. They've become her mentors but also good friends. Tony walked over and grinned at her "How was training? Did the Hawk show you how to use a bow yet?" Britt shook her head "They're both sticking to knives…they say it's my advantage?" Tony chuckled "why do you think I keep all the sharp knives under coded passwords?" Britt playfully rolled her eyes "Ha ha" she smiled. Tony softly laughed and hugged her "it's good to have you back!" Britt hugged him back and smiled "It's good to be back! I missed it here" Tony half-smiled "I bet…" JARVIS made a holographic screen pop up on Tony's tablet "Sir, Director Fury of S.H.E.I.L.D. would like to speak with you" Tony sighed heavily "alright" He looked over towards Britt "I'll be right back..." he grabbed his tablet and walked into the other room. Britt nodded and watched him walk off then started wandering towards the giant outside patio. She looked around New York City then looked back up at the glass-windowed Tower. She looked down and took a deep breath when Tony walked out. "Britt, Fury has a mission for you…" Britt looked up at him then furrowed her brows at his expression "…what is it?" Tony took a deep breath. "Natasha and Clint are busy in Budapest…so he wants to send you…to Asgard" Britt blinked "Asgard…like…Thor Asgard?" Tony nodded "he wants you to learn the area-"Britt sighed "because they think that's where my powers originated…' she interrupted him. Tony clasped his hands behind his back "pretty much" Britt took a deep breath "alright I'll go, when do I leave?" Tony walked towards her and sighed "you'll be leaving with Thor in about an hour…" Britt blinked "I have to go with Thor? The guy who thought I was petty and tiny and striked me with his hammer, Thor?" Tony laughed "yes that one! Well…there is only one" Britt nodded "I'll go get ready then…" She sighed and walked to her room. She walked into her closet and put on her favorite leather jacket over her golden shirt. She put on a pair of comfy-tight-fitted dark blue jeans and put on her black boots, which were also great for running in as well. She walked back out and down the hall to the penthouse and saw Thor. He looked her way and smiled "Hello Brittany" Britt nodded with a slight smile "Thor" Tony eyed both of them then looked at Thor "take care of her big guy! She's kinda all I've got" he grinned and then winked at Britt. Britt smiled and playfully rolled her eyes. Thor softly chuckled "of course" he looked up at the sky "time to go…" He looked back at Tony "farewell Stark, we shall return soon" Britt smiled "bye Tony!" Then Thor wrapped an arm around her and flew off to the bifrost sight. Once they landed Thor walked over to the middle of the design in the sand then glanced at Britt "coming?" Britt took a deep breath "yep!" then ran over. Thor chuckled softly "hold on" Britt nodded and held onto him as he wrapped an arm around her and the bifrost took them up. Britt closed her eyes the whole way until she felt herself touch land again and Thor let go. She opened her eyes and noticed they were in the bifrost. She looked over at Heimdall and waved. He smiled slightly and nodded. Thor started down the bridge and Britt followed. Thor glanced down at her then looked towards the castle "The tension between the Asgardians and Jotuns has grown…we may believe you could help," he sighed "without my word…no one would have considered…they all see you as a mere mortal" Britt eyed around her and some of the Asgardians "thanks for standing up for me I guess" she chuckled. Thor nodded "of course" They walked into the castle and to a room with a fire pit in the middle. Thor walked in first "my friends, this is Brittany…she is of Earth but she is a friend…she may even be able to help us." He looked towards Britt then gestured towards his friends again "These are my friends-The Warriors Three, Sif, and my brother Loki" Sif walked up and bowed "It's nice to meet you" she smiled "glad to have another woman here" Fandral, Hogun, and Volstagg bowed and said hello as well. Britt slightly smiled "it's nice to meet you all too" Loki eyed her from the other side of the room then walked up to his friends "Hello..." he nodded slowly. Britt eyed him for a quick second then returned the nod "hello" Sif took a deep breath "well it was nice meeting you, but we best be on our way to train!" The Warriors Three and Sif walked off. Thor nodded then looked down at Britt "stay here…I must speak with the All-father." Britt nodded and watched him walk off then sighed heavily "I'm so sick of him telling me what to do" she mumbled to herself. Loki blinked and furrowed his brows at her, amused that someone actually thought that way towards his brother…for once. "Thor getting on your nerves?" he raised a brow. Britt looked over at him "that obvious?" she softly chuckled. Loki couldn't help but chuckle, she amused him "It is when not many think that way towards him" Britt nodded "I've had enough of being in the shadows…" Loki raised his brows slightly "and what do you mean by that?" Britt sighed "I've been trained by the world's deadliest assassins…but yet they think I'm too deadly, so I have to stay back…like they cage me up till they need me." She glanced at him. Loki let out a slight chuckle more out of surprise "I know that feeling all too well" He thought a moment then eyed her "Would you like to see one of the most amazing places in Asgard?" Britt looked at him questioningly. Loki smirked "not afraid of my brother now are we?" Britt scoffed "not at all" He smiled slightly then waved his hand and they disappeared then reappeared in the forest. Britt blinked then gasped "whoa…" she noticed the waterfall "it's…amazing" Loki nodded "I love it as well" Britt ran over to the water's edge and ran her fingers across the water and smiled. Loki walked up next to her admiring the view. Britt looked at him "So do you gods ever have fun?" Loki raised his brows at her…finding her interesting "Yes of course" Britt raised a brow "and when was the last time you had fun?" Loki furrowed his brows and before he answered she pushed him in. Britt started laughing "oooh that was fun!" Loki blinked then raised his brows "Oh so that's how it's going to be?" he smirked and grabbed her arm pulling her in as well. Britt gasped "Hey!" she laughed and splashed him. Loki chuckled and splashed her back "well I do believe you started this!" Britt shrugged "maybe I did!" Loki looked at her and smiled, not able to fight the feeling that he might actually like having her around. Soon they both climbed out and neither one was cold for they both had ice powers, whether Britt knew now or not. Loki smiled "well that was a fun day…" he eyed the castle then looked down "there's this ball tonight...would you mind accompanying me?" He smiled at her "I'm guessing you wouldn't rather go with Thor?" Britt cringed "you know…sometimes you're evil" she chuckled. Loki smirked "I'm just surprised someone would rather choose me over my brother" he sighed "Usually I end up going to these occasions…alone" Britt raised a brow "Well we can't have that now can we?" She half-smiled and started towards the castle. Loki watched her and couldn't help but smile, glad she came here for she was slowly filling the void in his heart. Britt smiled to herself and walked into the castle where they ran into Thor. Loki simply grinned with a hint of a smirk "hello brother" Thor eyed both of them then looked at Britt "I thought I told you to stay in the room?" he raised his brows. Britt crossed her arms "Thor…you and I both know I need no special guard…I can handle myself" Thor chuckled "yes I'm sure of that, but it was more for Stark's sake" Loki furrowed his brows slightly "Tony Stark?" Thor nodded "he took Brittany in…so indeed he is her father" Britt nodded "yep, it's awesome" she chuckled then looked at Thor "now you don't want me talking to Sydney now do you?" Thor blinked and playfully narrowed his eyes knowing he couldn't win. Loki smiled "I have asked for her to accompany me to the ball" Thor clenched his jaw not happy about it "I don't think that's for the best" he knew his brother better than she did; he only wanted to protect her from his mischievous plans. But Loki seemed…happy which was rare, so he just went along with it for now. "Fine, I shall see you both there then" and walked off disappearing around the corner. Britt blinked then looked down at her outfit then at Loki "I don't think I have anything to nice to wear…" she softly laughed. Loki half smiled "Oh that's no problem, I'll have Sif help you" Britt nodded "well I suppose we should get ready then?" she raised a brow "well…I guess you already are" she chuckled. Loki nodded "Sif will give you something…elegant to wear" he slightly smirked at her. Britt raised her brows "Oooh really now?" she half smiled and rolled her eyes before walking down the hall to Sif's chambers. She walked in "Sif?" She looked over at Britt and smiled "well hello again" she put down her brush and walked over "I'm guessing you are here in need of a dress?" Britt shrugged "you could say that" Sif chuckled and grabbed a silky dark silver long dress. Britt blinked "wow…that's really pretty" Sif smiled "thank you…now, go on and get it on" she smiled and went back to fixing her hair. Britt put the dress on seeing it was low in the back. It was lower in the back than the front and tight fitted till it reached her waist, where it started to flow out slightly. She walked out and smiled "ta da!" she chuckled. Sif smiled "You look beautiful" she smiled and helped fix her hair then nodded towards the door "we best be on our way now" she smiled again then walked out and down the hall. Loki watched Sif come out then waited for Britt, looking up at the ceiling. Britt looked in the mirror and took a deep breath and shrugged, slightly nervous. She's not really sure how to handle going to an Asgardian party. She walked out into the hall and noticed Loki and smiled "well hello there!" she slightly chuckled. Loki looked over and blinked at a loss of words, he's never seen anyone so beautiful. He walked up to her and raised his brows "well I must say you look lovely" he half-smiled. Britt took a deep breath "thanks! I'm actually kinda nervous…" Loki raised a brow and couldn't hold back a chuckle "and why is that?" Britt nervously laughed "Well unlike you I've never been in a room full of gods and goddesses and people thousands of years old!" she eyed him. Loki nodded forgetting that he was just used to doing this all his life "ahh I see, well don't worry…you have me so no one shall bother you" Britt nodded "Well that's reassuring coming from the god of mischief…" she softly laughed. Loki smirked "you may want to be careful what you say" and held out his arm for her. Britt hesitated then took it, walking in the giant room. People were dancing or walking around talking to other Asgardians. Britt felt uncomfortable and gripped onto his arm looking around. Loki glanced down at her then eyed around them and sighed. He stopped and turned towards her holding his hand out "would you like to dance?" Britt smiled slightly "uhm sure" reaching out for his hand. Loki had that nervous feeling he always had when someone was about to touch his skin. They always thought he was unusually cold and they'd cringe back. Britt took his hand noticing it was just slightly colder. She held it a little tighter feeling a little more…protected from the overwhelming crowd around them. Loki smiled and brought her slightly closer, gently wrapping an arm around her waist and still held her hand with the other hand just as tightly. Britt smiled up at him "You know…you're not as bad as people make you sound…" Loki chuckled "That's because I forbid myself from showing you that side" Britt pressed her lips together and shook her head "That still wouldn't change my feelings about you" Loki sighed "we'll see…" They danced for a little longer until it was time to eat. Thor sat on the other side of Loki, while Sif sat on the other side of Britt. She eyed Odin every once and a while. Loki noticed her doing so "don't let him get to you…he really isn't as scary as he looks" he half smiled. Britt softly chuckled and looked down at her now empty plate then started up conversation with Sif. A little later Sif went off to dance with an Asgardian who'd asked her to dance. Once the table was empty she sat there alone, arms crossed, looking out at all the people. Loki slowly walked up to her and noticed she didn't look like she was having much fun. He looked outside then looked down at her "would you like to go for a walk?" Britt looked up at him and nodded her eyes thanking him. Loki softly chuckled and wrapped an arm around her and walked outside. Britt looked around and smiled then looked up at the stars "Holy capsicles…" Loki smiled and looked up "I love the stars" Britt chuckled "this is amazing…I can't believe you guys get such an amazing view! ...all I get is a shooting star once in a while" she chuckled then yawned. Loki chuckled and glanced at her "tired?" Britt nodded "I haven't slept in two days actually…" Loki raised his brows "ever consider doing so…soon?" he smiled. Britt nodded "I suppose I should…" she yawned again and he waved his a hand appearing in a room. Loki nodded looking around "you're welcome to stay in this room" he slightly smiled "Thor and I are just down the hall if you need either of us" He looked at her "tonight has been amazing, thank you" he kissed her cheek "goodnight" he smiled and left the room. Britt blinked as he turned away "goodnight…" She got out of her dress and looked over at the bed noticing a pair of pajama pants and a V-neck t-shirt. She put them on and crawled into the comfy bed and fell asleep…
