AN: This one is shorter, but hopefully it leaves you with a few questions that will be solved in later chapters. Enjoy
She scanned her eye and pushed open the door, a smile on her face.
"Hello again." Loki said, looking up from the book she had brought for him after hearing that he was new to earth literature.
"I come with good news and not so good food." she said as she handed him the food through the small slit in the cell. Loki rolled his eyes as he sat down and started to eat.
"The news?" he asked in between mouthfuls. Jada sat down on the chair by the computer and took in a breath.
"The idiots upstairs have finally started to listen to me about your case and have decided that your sentence should be shorter, you have only been given five years, isn't that good?" she asked as she tapped her feet idly on the floor as she waited for his reply.
"That is good, I suppose. I would rather have my powers back but five years without them is not so bad as a lifetime." he replied, a small spark in his eye.
"That's what I thought, so I bargained with them and the result is this. Are you listening, cause this is very important?" she asked, even though she knew he was listening.
"I am now officially your only guardian, I think you scared off all of the others, plus, if you are a good boy, you may get you powers back in half of that." she said, unable to keep the grin from her face.
"Beg your pardon? I may get my powers back?" Loki said as he put his food down.
"Yep, but only if you are good."
Her smile was infectious as Loki started to grin at the prospect of his powers back.
"What classes as good?" Loki asked after a moments pause. Jada span around to face him again, having turned to log herself into the computer, and thought on this.
"Well, not killing people would be a start."
"You know I cannot kill people at the moment. Besides, why would I anymore, we both know that they only died because it was not me."
Jada conceded the point with a small smile.
"That is true, but I have a question."
Loki raised an eyebrow, telling her to continue.
"How long did you think you could fool me, I know you can still create a projection at the very least?"
Loki looked as though he was about to protest but then she sighed and levelled a glare at him and he though better of it.
"Okay, fine fair enough. How long have you known?"
"A couple of weeks, only when I saw the reflection of two of you in the mirror on the back wall."
"It did not work on you?"
"No. It's how I was rais- how I was engineered. I am the perfect human, nothing phases me and nothing abnormal can be seen by me. My mind simple rejects the notion unless I know it exists in which case I can override my mind."
Loki looked at her as he stood up and furrowed his eyebrows together.
"What do you mean it is how you are- were- engineered? My magic always works on simple human minds."
She smiled and shook her head.
"No, well yes. But mine has been engineered so that it is more of a computer, I had a brain defect at birth, my brain memory was already eidetic. They added a small computer in my head when I was a child. They invaded my head and messed with it, tinkering with the wires until they got what they wanted." she raised her hands to her head, as though trying to stop a noise.
Loki stepped forwards and went to place his hands on the barrier before stopping.
"What? What is wrong?"
Jada brought her knees up to her chest and sunk in on herself.
"Jada!"
She jumped and reached under the computer table, grabbing a gun and aiming it at him. She levelled it at his chest before letting out a groan and dropping the gun, falling to the floor. She wrapped her hands around her head and leant it against her knees.
"Jada?" he knelt down and looked at her as she grew tighter in her ball.
"I need to kill Nicholas Fur- no I don't. I need to protect my friend- you need to kill Nicholas Fury." she started crying on the floor as the door opened and Tony Stark stepped in in his Iron Man suit, very cautious. Jada reached for the gun she had dropped and aimed as she sat up.
"Where is Nicholas J Fury?" she asked as she aimed the gun at Tony's head. He raised his hand and aimed it at her.
"I mean you no harm Jada, but if you fire that weapon I will fire at you."
She fired her gun as the helmet closed over his head, the bullet bouncing off. Tony closed his hand and a small dart was fired into her neck. Her brown eyes widened and she lowered her gun.
"I warned you." he said as her limbs went numb and he picked her up. She slumped against the suit as Tony carried her out of the room, scanning his retina on the way out. He stopped and turned to look at Loki as he stood up again.
"When I come back, we can talk drinks if you want." he said before he left with a cursing Jada.
He opened the door to the infirmary with a glance in the scanner, knowing that the best person to deal with her was already in the room. JARVIS had already informed Natasha of what had happened. Natasha stood up immediately and took in the cursing form of Jada as Tony lay her down. She didn't say a word of greeting to him as she turned her attention to what she was saying.
"I need to kill Nicholas J Fury. Where is he?" she growled as she lay useless on the bed. Natasha cast a glance at Tony before speaking.
"How strong a dose is that?"
"Strong enough for your average human."
Natasha let out a low growl as Jada started to move again, testing her hands.
"She's not average. I thought you would have read her files."
"That is not my job, unless I am the one hiring them. She's a SHEILD agent and a one time member of STRIKE, it wasn't my job."
Jada smiled and sat up, grabbing Tony by his helmet and forcing him to the floor.
"I will ask again. Where is Nicholas J Fury?"
"Black Widow. That is what you are isn't it. You're the one after me, the last one." Natasha started talking to distract her.
"You are a Black Widow? You look weak."
"Yeah, well they taught me better than they taught you. They taught me things you could only wish to know."
"Like what? What could I possible want to know that I can't gain through force or seduction?" Jada asked as she stopped strangling Tony.
"The codeword used on rogue students, the one that works on all widows. Butter nut." she said as she gripped the bed tightly, it still worked on her. Jada's eyes widened and she fell to the floor as she relived her worst and best moment. The day she stopped being the Black Widow. The day she took her finger from the trigger. The day she was meant to kill Nicholas J Fury.
"Jada? Are you alright now?" Natasha asked as she leant down towards the younger woman. Jada nodded and sat up.
"I am now."
