This is the first chapter of this story. There will most likely be mistakes as I am human and it happens, however I hope you enjoy this story anyways I am open to constructive criticism but if you do decide to flame me you will be sorely disappointed in my lack of reaction because I have little time for people hating on me.
Kione DeRosa sat in Stark Tower in yet again another buisness meeting. She had joined in Stark Industries in an attempt to get some information on the Avengers or what was left of S.H.I.E.L.D., but it was becoming more trouble than it was worth. She hadn't even seen a glimpse of the billionaire in the three months since she was 'hired'. No she was not a Hydra Thug or whatnot. She actually wanted to help. Unbeknownst to the people around her she was not human. No she was a far more dangerous creature that came from Muspelheim. She was a Demon, well mostly she was also half Jotun according to her father but she never had any proof of that and honestly never cared to. She unlike most of her kind never was attracted to chaos and misery and prefered the company of mortals to her own kin. She had been on Midgard for a number of years changing from one identity to another from name to name her most current being Elizabeth Shepherd.
She had been in New York when the portal was opened and the dreaded Chitari poured into the realm via Tesseract. She had recognized the handiwork immediately and knew who was behind the attack. No not the puppet but the one pulling the puppet's strings. Thanos, The Mad Titan. She had her own run in with Thanos before she came to Midgard to hide. She had once been his puppet as well and felt bad for the god that had crumbled under the will of The Mad Titan. Afterwards she tried to find the Avengers or get in touch with S.H.I.E.L.D. but she couldn't and after months of trying she quit and resumed her life. Well that was until the incident with the Aether happened in London and soon after that the fall of S.H.I.E.L.D. and most of Hydra. Nick Fury was presumed dead although she knew that wasn't the case and the Avengers banned together but she had no luck getting to them. It seemed the Fates were not on her side. And that brings us to the latest incident, Ultron. Tony Starks attempt to create a peacekeeping A.I. unit. Clearly that went well. Then the Avengers split and she lost track of them and was back to square one.
She was brought out of her deep thoughts by someone shaking her shoulder. she jumped a bit and looked up into the hazel eyes of her newest friend Jackie Attwell. Jackie laughed. "Lizzy you literally just spaced out halfway through." Jackie said shaking her head her red hair falling into her face.
"Damn Jackie i'm sorry i just have got a lot on my mind." She sighed and got up out of her chair following Jackie to the Break Room to get some coffee. She hadn't slept in what two maybe three days.
"So i heard a rumor…" Jackie started then trailed off wanting Kione to prompt her to go forward.
"Oh dear what is it this time." Kione said a smile making its way across her face. Kione found it fun to gossip with other girls it made her forget her troubles for five minutes and gave her a bit of a release. But not this time.
"I heard that Tony Stark was dropping by the tower today to check in. Everyone said he just dropped off the map after the incident with.." Jackie lowered her voice a few octaves before continuing. "After the incident with Ultron."
Kione's smile almost faltered but she managed to keep it going. "You just can't wait to catch a glimpse of him can you?" She joked to keep her anxiety from showing.
Her friend Jackie just laughed. "Well can you blame me? Who wouldn't want to catch a glimpse of the billionaire that flies around in a metal suit of armor playing superhero?" Jackie grinned. "Well i better get back to work catch you later!" Jackie bounded off and Kione dropped her smile.
this was her chance and she would be damned if she was going to blow it. She pulled her black hair back into a tight braid her slender fingers working fast. She went into a back room and changed out of her work clothes into black jeans and a tight long sleeved black shirt. If she was going to catch Tony Starks attention she would need to play bad guy for him.
She quietly slipped into and empty conference room and pulled out her tablet and opened up the blueprints for the tower. after finding where she was she pulled over a chair and climbed up onto it and yanked a vent cover off its place on the upper part of the wall. taking a deep breath she crawled into the vent and began her ascent into the upper parts of the tower.
Surprisingly she made it to what she figured was the Avengers common room before the alarm went off and she climbed from the vent into the room. She made her way over to the bar and began to make herself a drink waiting for Tony or one of the other Avengers to show their faces.
She downed the glass then twisted her face into disgust. "I forgot how much i hate alcohol." she muttered putting the glass down as she heard a loud thunk in the other room. "Here we go.'
She raised her hands in the air in a surrender motion as she stepped into view of Tony Stark. She had to admit the suit was impressive. "Hello Stark. We need to talk." she said calmly keeping her hands in the air.
"Damn right we need to talk. You broke into my tower uh…" he trailed off and raised the mask on his suit.
"Kione." She said providing him with her real name. The one she had given herself so long ago.
"Ok Kione, start talking and fast." Tony said not lowering his hand which was powered up just in case.
"I have been trying to contact either the Avengers or S.H.I.E.L.D. since the New York incident but have had no luck, A friend of mine downstairs heard it was rumored you were coming in today and i needed to get your attention and this was the fastest and easiest way to do so." She summed up quickly her eyes never leaving Starks and her expression never wavering from determination.
Stark was a bit startled by the immediate response and the way that Kione held herself. "Ok then." He lowered his hand and gave her a considering look. "Give me two minutes to take off the suit and i will come talk with you. No funny business got it." He said. Kione gave a nod and he hesitantly left. Something about her unnerved him but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
When he came back Kione had settled down on the couch her sharp violet eyes were something he had never seen before and reminded him of someone but he couldn't place a name. "Ok kid so why have you been trying to contact us." Stark asked cautiously.
"I have information that you are going to need in the near future. I wish i could have given it sooner so you had more time to prepare but the Fates seem to enjoy playing games with me." Kione said looking around hiding her nervousness quite well.
Tony gave her a strange look. She had avoided giving the outright answer and seemed to be looking for something. She was hiding her nerves well but not well enough. He watched her eyes dart from corner to corner as if looking for something she didn't want to find.
Before Tony could prompt her she continued. "The New York incident with the Tesseract, The situation in Greenwich with the dark elves and the Aether, Ultron and the Mind Stone, they are all connected. The Infinity Stones that connect these events are being remotely activated by someone and I know who." She finally met Tony's gaze and was unable to hide her fear. Pure unfiltered fear was set in her eyes but her face remained a mask of control.
Now Tony knew who she reminded him of. Loki. He would have gladly told her off and kicked her out of his tower but something told him that she wasn't lying. "Ok, alright. Let me contact the team and get them over here and i will see what S.H.I.E.L.D. agents i can muster up." said Tony getting up from his seat. "Uh next floor up is guest quarters you can stay up there until i figure out what to do with you. Tell JAR… FRIDAY if you need anything." he began to walk away the stopped. "But please take the elevator."
This managed to pull a slight laugh from Kione and she made her way to the elevator.
