Amber was trapped. Water started filling the room. She was in no mortal danger; there were doors all around. But a force held her from getting where she wanted to go. The force was pulling her from behind, so she couldn't see who her captor was. There was a strange lump in her pocket. Amber could only slightly reach it but the vision was abruptly interrupted by Black Widow coming into Amber's room.

"Get up." She ordered.

"What's going on? Are we in New York?" Amber asked curiously.

"Precisely," Hawkeye said coming out from behind Black Widow.

They both left the room and Amber got dressed in a flash. She then exited the room and found her way to the deck. There was a latter leading down to a stationary speedboat and a helicopter already taking off.

Amber caught Hawkeye climbing down from the latter and Tony Stark was waving happily out of the side of the helicopter. Amber wondered who else was accompanying her to see Peter.

Amber absent-mindedly climbed down the latter and dropped to the boat. She was staring at Dr. Bruce Banner, Black Widow, and Hawkeye. Hawkeye was standing at the steering wheel, Banner was down underneath checking the stabilizers, and Black Widow was waiting for Amber to give them directions.

"Bridgestone High School," Amber ordered.

Hawkeye shifted into ignition and Amber knew they were going about 70 mph. It only took them about 10 minutes to get to the dock, and after everyone was on land, Hawkeye instructed they get in a black van. They were on their way to Bridgestone High School.

Peter Parker was jus hanging in front of the school when he got a strange text. The number came up unknown and the caller ID was just ***** ******. The text read: Hello Peter.

Peter texted back: Who is this?

Unknown: An old friend

Peter: I don't remember

Unknown: Turn around

Peter turned around obediently. He didn't see anything but a crowd of students.

Peter: What am I supposed to be looking at?

Unknown: Look for a black van

Peter did as he was told. He scanned the area for a black van and the moment he spotted it, Hawkeye was staring back at Peter.

Peter: What do you want me to do?
Unknown: I thought you would know if you saw a creepy man in a black van.

Peter: Should I start running and screaming?

Unknown: No. Get in. Now!

Peter: Okay…

Peter had no clue what was going on or who that man was or who was the unknown caller. He slowly drifted toward the van and the back doors began to creak open. Peter ventured forward, remembering that he was Spider Man, and that if anything was wrong his spider senses would be tingling. He slowly puled himself into the van and the doors immediately shut behind him.

Before him sat a middle schoolish girl with her hand on fire, and Indian man was calmly studying a computer screen, and a grown up woman dressed in a tight black jumpsuit and a pistol hanging out of her pocket. Peter awkwardly sat down and started studying his hands to keep from staring at the girl's hand. The flame went out like magic and then looked up and spoke, "glad you could join us Peter Parker."

Amber grew a little shy around Peter. Their last experience was awkward for her. Amber knew that Peter forgot and then took a flashback trip to relive the memory.

It was in June. School had just been released for summer break and Amber was going to take a vacation to New York. After her family settled into their hotel rooms they took a walk around the city. That's when things got complicated. Some people started saying they saw Spider Man.

Amber just rolled her eyes and kept walking along the street. Her mom had stopped and looked in a window of a shoe store but Amber didn't notice and kept walking. Then a tiny red dot came into focus on the side of a skyscraper and then slowly zoomed in. It zoomed in so much that it actually hit Amber. Amber tumbled to the ground. Through anger she went and set his suit on fire in secret so no one would notice.

Later that night, Amber couldn't sleep. There was a knocking on the hotel window, and since her parents weren't up, Amber calmly went to see what it was. To her surprise, it was Spider Man and Amber opened the widow. They began to chat.

"About earlier…" Spider Man started.

"It's okay. I'm the one who should sorry for catching you on fire." Amber confessed.

"That was you? How'd you do it?" Spider Man asked.

Amber's finger caught on fire and then went out because she willed it to. Spider Man looked amazed.

"You're like me," he said, "how did get this ability?"

"I was born with it. What about you?"

"Radioactive lab spider."

"Do you want to talk outside?"

"What do you mean?"

Amber simply climbed out the window so her feet were hanging. Then she pushed herself out. Amber began a free fall from six floors up. Then her feet caught fire like a rocket and she gently landed on the ground.

"That was incredible," Spider Man gawked.

"What's your real name?" Amber asked suspiciously.

"Keep it a secret. Peter Parker. Yours?"

"Amber Swan. And don't you forget it."

"Interesting. Do you need a lift back up to your room?"

"Nope. I got this."

And with that Spider Man started to fling off and Amber shot off like a rocket back to her room to think and daydream about the talk she just had.

Amber flashed back to the present and was carful not to go to the future.

"Who are you?" Peter asked, almost like the memory was on the tip of his tongue.

Amber took the question directly.

"I'm Amber Swan. And you forgot it," Amber mocked, "and these are the Avengers. Well part of them. The rest of the team left to go to Stark Tower."

Peter mumbled to himself then spoke, "I remember know. Nice to see you again." He said it a little uneasily.

Amber shrugged and the van departed from the school. It was only a few minutes until Stark Tower was in sight. A black helicopter was perched on one of the balconies and a black outline was standing next to it waving his hands. Amber figured it was Tony Stark making an obvious welcome.

Captain America was waiting for them in the living room. The others were congressing about Loki. Peter walked in and gasped at the architecture. Amber, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Peter Parker, and Banner filed into the room ready for debriefing. Captain America was just about to speak when he noticed Peter, pointed, and said, "Who's the new guy?"

"That's Peter Parker. Or Spider Man." Amber answered. "Peter, this is Captain America, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Bruce Banner or Hulk, Iron Man, and Thor," Amber introduced, pointing to each one. Tony Stark walked in the room and said, "Who's the new guy?"

Amber slapped her forehead and shook it side to side, obviously frustrated.

"Figure it out," She snapped. Amber stormed away but heard Stark say, "It's always hard to work with fugitives."

Amber's finger caught flame, but then quickly let it out. She joined Thor on the balcony.

"Loki's going to trap me," Amber confessed, "And there's nothing you can do about."

"There is always something you can do, lady Amber, just not at the moment you expect it. On Azgard one can have all the time in the world to make a contemplating decision." Thor spoke boldly.

"You're not really weak on Earth."

"Is that a question or statement?"

"Statement."

"Good. Your psychic powers tell the truth."

"What do you think his battle strategy is going to be? Probably not the Chitari again. I see frost giants. Loki is going to appear massive. Consider this a warning or a 'heads up.'"

Thor looked to the sky.

"Not literally. And, does Tony know that you were the one that broke the coffee machine?" Amber taunted.

Thor left the balcony and retired to the living room to greet the new member. Amber glanced toward the sky. A picture of Loki appeared in her mind. Then Amber fell to the ground in a heap after screaming in shock and pain.

Frost giant territory. Amber was on the icy ground and her hair was a tangle. Amber tried to get up but searing pain coursed through her body and started at her chest. Amber looked down and saw that she was bleeding, and the crimson liquid was dripping onto the ground. Amber scanned the horizon. A blue moon was in the sky toward the east and a purple sun was setting to the west. Amber sparked a flame on her finger and held it up to the wound. She saw that it was a clean and narrow cut, but deep and vicious. Amber looked around again and saw a figure a couple yards away. It was the outline of a man, with a giant staff at his side, but Amber didn't know why he needed it because he looked taller as he grew near. And blue.

Amber's eyes widened. She knew that the man walking toward her was Loki, the one who cut her in the first place. Amber winced. Loki's presence made the air grow colder, and Ambers blue ends turned people. Her lips began to frost.

"Let me go!" Amber commanded confidently.

"Oh, we both know I can't do that." Loki snickered.

"But you can, and you will." Amber predicted.

"I'm not afraid of you petty, worthless, sickly girl" Loki spat.

"But you forget that I have the element of fire in a frozen ice land. I could burn you to a crisp."

"And you won't" Loki said, beginning to circle her like the land shark he is.

"Why did you do this to me?"

"To show you what I'm going to do to the rest of the Avengers."

"I won't let you hurt them!" Amber snapped.

"I already have. By hurting you, I have hurt them. Peter, Banner, Natasha. Their all stung."

"Actually you fueled them. Now they're going to avenge me. They are going to stop you."

"Well you see Amber. I don't have physically leave this planet and go to Earth. I have a descendent."

"That won't change anything."

"Trust me, girl. The Avenger's will not like having to kill a little girl like you will they?"

"If I die, you'll be surprised at the power they can muster."

Loki struck Amber with the end of his staff. Her mouth began to bleed.

"So you're going to leave me to die?"

"Exactly."

Amber ignited her finger once more and hurled a fireball at Loki. He easily sidestepped it and it melted a patch of ice.

"Send me back to Earth." Amber said. "If you have any mercy, send me back to Earth to die in peace and knowing that I have said good bye to the Avengers."

Loki considered this last request.

"Fine," Loki spat, "I want my ignorant brother to see you die!"

Amber gasped. She could feel the gash start to throb. Everything looked blurry but Amber could make out Thor and Peter. By her head was Tony Stark, to her left was Captain America, and to her right was Hawkeye. Amber moaned. She raised her hand to the wound and winced. "Everything is going to be okay," Peter reassured. The team could sense the doubt lingering in the air.

Tony placed a cold, wet towel on her forehead. Amber could picture dramatic violin music in the back round. She stuttered a laugh, but was interrupted by more moaning in pain.

"Loki took advantage of you psychic ability and made a sort of portal." Thor explained.

"He has a descendent" Amber coughed.

Thor and Tony looked at each other and then focused on the task at hand.

"I don't know if I'm going to live. I can't see it and my vision has been blurry ever since I woke up."

"Well you were out for a good solid hour." Tony informed.

"Wait. I can see something." Amber closed her eyes for a few minutes and confessed: "I see the Avengers mourning. The good news is it's not me. Apparently I will live through this some how." Amber coughed again.

"It's time I tell you of other visions I've had as well."

The Avengers leaned in closer.

"The first vision I had since I got here was events that already happened plus Loki congressing with a frost giant and then reaching out as if he felt I was watching. The second was… I was trapped. And someone was holding me against my will. And I also felt a strange lump in my pocket." Amber finished.

The team gave her room to breath and turned the comments around in their heads. Hawkeye spoke at last.

"What shape lump? Maybe we can figure it out and give it to you for protection. Plus if the moment comes, which it will, we'll be ready."

Amber responded by having a coughing fit. The pain went numb and Amber couldn't feel the right side of her body.

"It sucks that we don't have the medical equipment to help you." Hawkeye said.

He held a finger to Amber's neck to check her pulse, and announced that it was slowly fading. Amber's eyelids began their decent and her face grew impassive. The Avenger's held their breath.

Amber's eyes fluttered open as soon as they shut.

"Her pulse is coming back!" Hawkeye shouted.

"She must have gotten over her loss of blood," Tony explained.

"I'm still weak. Alive, but weak," Amber spoke, "I don't think that I'll be able to catch flame for a while."

Everyone cheered. In the back round they heard Steve yell "Skip-Bo!" Amber giggled. The rest of the Avengers looked toward the sound. Bruce Banner and Steve Rogers were calmly playing a card game while Black Widow was videotaping with an iPhone, unaware of the dramatic moment the others just shared. Natasha looked up from the screen. Amber was sitting up on her elbows staring at the oblivion on her face. Should have video taped the expression she made was she saw Amber's wound.

Amber calmly waved and her face turned pale like Amber's. Black Widow quickly got the two's attention and pointed. The both gaped at the scene. Banner slowly walked over to the table where Amber sat and examined the gash.

"You already missed the first hour and the whole life or death presentation," Stark told Banner.

"Thanks for inviting me." Banner countered sarcastically. "Its amazing you could have lived through such a deep slice, especially in the stomach."

"How are you feeling?" Peter asked.

"Fine. My senses are returning. My vision isn't blurry anymore." Amber answered.

The Avengers subsided. Banner and Rogers went back to the couch to play more 'Skip-Bo!' and Hawkeye went with Natasha to a corner to explain everything. Tony left to check on Jarvis and Peter went to get some gauss for the wound. Thor stayed behind.

"Tell me more about this this descendant of Loki," Thor demanded.

"Well, her name is not clear. I can't tell you any physical description but I can tell you her actions. She is a fugitive like me. She has blue eyes and distinct features that are hard to explain. It seems like she being locked up somewhere, so she shouldn't be a problem. That's all I can share. I'm sorry."

"Actually, I'm sorry. As a god I should have seen that Loki would try and enter your mind to kill you."

They both sat in silence for a minute but then Peter came back, gauss in hand.

"Thank you."

"Well you really need them." Peter said.

Amber unraveled the white strips and slowly circled them around herself. Amber's torso looked like a mummy. She was able to stand, but stumbled without Thor and Peter's help.

Amber made it to her new room, which was unwisely placed next to Pepper Potts room. Amber did not want to hear what went on in there when she was going to try to sleep. The crazy and weird thing was, Amber already knew.

She shook the thought from her mind and focus on her wound. The bandages didn't show any signs of blood, and the gauss were holding. Amber strode into her new room and plopped down on the bed to get some rest.

"Don't forget to wash your face Amber," Jarvis said over a micro-sized intercom.

Amber shot up ad quickly washed her face, then hopped to the bed and shut her eyes once more. This time Amber had a successful sleep, with no vision and no Loki.

Her dreams were peaceful. Amber lived a normal life, but was soon engulfed in flames, as it became an even better life.

Amber woke to the morning orange sun and rose to meet her fellow companions in the dining room for breakfast. Amber was pleased to find that Ms. Potts had joined them and was hastily making eggs and sausage. The sweet scent of maple filled the air as Amber took a seat with the rest of the Avengers at the table and began to talk more about the strange visions Amber had. The only person not at the table was Tony, who was busy assisting Pepper in the kitchen. An occasional kissing session went on, so Amber focused on Hawkeyes words.

"I feel like we all should know what that object in your pocket was," he confessed, frustrated with the task at hand.

"It felt abstract. Not exactly like an everyday tool, but definitely a tool Shield would have lots of." Amber clued.

"Well what's a tool that Shield usually uses?" Peter asked.

"A gun," Black Widow stated.

"Then we shall give you a gun." Said Tony, like it was an everyday task to give a 14 year old a gun.

"Not now," Amber protested, "I don't like the feeling that I have a loaded gun in my pocket 24/7."

"We can't wait forever. We will have no idea when Loki will come, if he comes."

"Well your forgetting that you have a psychic in your presence. I'm sure Loki will give me a torture vision before anything big happens."

Hawkeye leaned back into his chair and sighed.

"I can't believe we have to save the world! Again."

"Well you're with experienced professionals." Tony Stark boasted. Thor glanced at Dr. Banner, who looked at Captain America, who in turn looked at Tony. Tony was staring at Amber, who looked at Peter, who was looking strangely at Hawkeye and Black Widow.

"Sir, breakfast is ready," Jarvis announced.

Ms. Potts came around with plates of scrambled eggs and maple sausage, with fresh cut strawberries on the side. The group ate quickly. Thor was first to finish, then Captain America and Hawkeye. Dr. Banner was last to eat his meal. Awkward silence filled the house until the elevator let out a "ding!"

The doors didn't open.

"That was to break the silence," Jarvis suggested.

Tony groaned.

Amber fell asleep later than usual, but that didn't make a difference.

She was back in frost giant territory and Loki was waiting for her this time.

"I'm not dead." Amber informed him.

"Well you will be. I'm ready to go to Earth now and my army of frost giant have a thirst for you worthless blood." Loki boasted.

"Fire." Amber teased.

"Your gift is like the rest of humanity. An accident!" Loki spat.

"Well your special and oh so powerful descendent, has failed." Amber commented.

Loki grabbed Amber, raised his staff, and spoke softly into Amber's ear, "tell your friends I will be there at dawn, not dusk, with an army more fierce than the last."

And with that, Amber woke up.

Amber rushed to get dressed. She quickly ran to Tony's room and banged on the door repeatedly till he emerged.

"Tell Jarvis to activate every alarm clock the Avenger's own! This is important and I need everyone to hear it at once!"

Tony mumbled a few words and trudged back into his room. A few minutes later the elegant hallway was filled with chaotic ringing and buzzing. A smashing noise came from Thor's room; Captain America stumbled into the hallway in full uniform, shield and all; and Tony came back out still in his night cloths.

A few more minutes later everyone was gathered in the living room to here Amber's announcement. Thor went first.

"There might not be an alarm clock in my room anymore." Thor notified.

"Anyways…. Now that we're all here…. I have something important to say. Last night, I got a vision from Loki. He said that his frost giant army would arrive at dawn. He's not here this morning, so that means he's coming tomorrow."

The Avengers sat back and contemplated the speech Amber just gave them. "Hmmmmmm…"

"That gives us time to prepare, at least. We can get ready for the oncoming attacks." Peter suggested.

"Alright everyone. Suit up." Captain America shouted.

Amber looked embarrassed. She didn't want to be the center of attention, it just happened. Everyone was asking her questions at the same time, wondering if Loki told her any other information.

"I don't know!" She shouted. "All that I have already told you is all that I know."

Everyone stopped talking and shouting. They looked at one another and then Peter said, "we should probably start preparing know that we all know that our deadline is so soon."

Tony Stark got up and left to upgrade his armor. Thor left to get his hammer, Captain already had his shield equipped, Peter went to get his suit on, Hawkeye left for his bow, but Black Widow and Banner stayed.

"What do you need kid?" Natasha asked.

"My body and the absence of water touching it." Amber answered.

"There's water vapor in the air." Banner explained.

"It doesn't affect me. There's to little of it to put out my flame. It's as if someone sprayed it with water repellent."

"Is your transformation bulletproof?" Captain America asked Amber, tapping on his shield so a metallic sound rang out.

"I wish."

He smiled and said, "Just relax. We faced Loki before so don't feel like you can't help."

The rest of the group joined them; Tony in his armor, Peter had his leotard on, Hawkeye already had an arrow nocked, and Thor was tossing around his hammer like a toy. They all stood on the balcony and watched the New York skyline. Amber decided to show them what she could do.

She slowly ignited her finger, which grew to her hand, and then spread to her arm, until she was fully engulfed in a burning flame. Then Amber shot off, all that was needed was a cannon and Tony Stark would have fired a cannonball. Amber flew in the air like a rocket and was soon joined by Iron Man. They weaved in and out of buildings while citizen's bellow gasped and gaped at the scene.

The next action surprised Amber. Tony waited till they were over an empty area of streets then shot a lazar in Amber's direction. It would have cut Amber in half, if Amber didn't send a fireball to counter. He did it again and again, each time Amber either countered or evaded. That was until Amber settled the score and fired at Iron Man first. It hi his armor and there was a slight CLANG! And a shift of balance. He regained balance and then looped back to Stark Towers. Amber followed and calmly landed by walking into the kitchen to get a glass of water.

"You must be thirsty," Loki said in her mind. A vision appeared in front of her an he was sitting at the bar counter.

"Well you gave us time to prepare." Amber noted quietly, so the others wouldn't hear.

"Well this delay, was to gather more frost giants to over run you pesky humans and slaughter my brother. They feed on fear." Loki countered.

"Well if your frost giants feed on fear, then what good will it bring to you to kill the ones who fear them?" Amber commented.

"There are 7 billion people in the world. I cannot simply kill all that at once. There will be a grand feast of fear, and there will be nothing you can do about it. Why? Because your fear is the strongest, Amber Swan, and they will destroy you after your fear grows by the coming of me."

"I'm not afraid." Amber tried to say with out her knees buckling.

"Well, prepare your little army of sorts and be ready for the best murder film you've ever seen."

With that, Loki disappeared and the world began to comeback into focus. Captain America was standing behind Amber and said, "Are you okay? We heard a little bit of screaming and we thought you fainted again or Loki was here."

"Everything's fine!" Amber snapped.

She stormed to her rom, washed her face, and lied down to rest. The Avenger's all went to bed in their suits with their weapons handy because they were ready for any attack Loki would throw at them.

It was just the breaking of dawn when an explosion went off. A giant whirlpool of purple smoke had formed in the foggy New York sky. A figure flew down on a Chitari vehicle followed by several air ships. The vehicle came closer and closer until it shot a ray of blue light at Stark Towers and shattered all he glass. Amber was first to run into the living room, hand ignited, to greet whatever horrible beast was standing there.

It was Loki, dressed in long green robes with gold linings, and tall golden spear with a leaf tip, and his crown was like bull horns with a glowing blue orb in the center.

"Looks like you needed more time to prepare." Loki taunted.

Amber ran head on, which was a incredibly foolish thing to do, considering she already got a glimpse of the consequence and Loki was armed with a long spear that could easily impale anything. It happened so fast that Amber couldn't figure out and lock Loki's position until he held her in a locked position. Captain America stumbled into the scene.

Captain America looked in horror as Amber was being held up against Loki with his staff slowly digging into her throat. Amber started reaching for the gun Shield decided to give her.
