Loki glared at Director Fury as the familiar cell closed and locked. Fury looked over to him. "Seem familiar?" Loki smirked. "I Don't know. Does it?" Fury let out a half amused sound before walking out of the room. In medical Quinn was getting her shoulder stitched up, her father walking into the exam room with Gage following. Tony looked softly stern at his daughter. "I thought I told you not go go against Loki." She rolled her eyes. "And I told you I can take care of myself." Tony let out a annoyed sound. "Yeah. I can see that pretty well from your wound you were taking care of it. Can you not completely disobey me and run head first into danger?" She raised an eyebrow. "Can you?" He was about to speak when he stopped himself. "Good point. Still, Don't do something like this again." She sighed. "Fine. Got it." He nodded before hugging her, being careful of her shoulder. "You know I love you princess." She smiled sadly. "I know. I love you to dad." He smiled, kissing her head before walking out of the room, leaving her with Gage as the doctor walked out as well. She gave him a look. "Here to lecture me to?" He sighed. "Nope. Just to check on you. You ok?" She spoke softer. "Yeah. Fine. Is everyone at school ok? You?" He nodded. "Yeah. No one was hurt. Shaken up but not hurt." she breathed out in relief. "Good."

Once she was done Gage escorted her to the briefing room where Fury and Coulson stood, her family already sitting around the table. Soon as she sat down Fury started. "Why is Loki back?" Quinn spoke up. "How did you know he was back? I mean, you and your boys in black came out of nowhere pretty damn fast." Coulson spoke. "We've been keeping track of his whereabouts since the battle of New York. We have signals that track his magic signature along with the tesseract. It wasn't hard to find him." Fury was getting annoyed. "But this still doesn't answer my question. Why is he back in the first place? Isn't he suppose to be getting justice served to him on Asgurd?" Nearly her whole family looked over at her. She swallowed. "He's back because of me. He's been projecting visions in my head about him, about his confrontation. He says he wants me to be his queen for whenever he becomes king of Asguard which I'm assuming wont be by any legal means." She saw the worried and scared faces of her family.

Fury shook his head, she wasn't sure if it was by annoyance or worry for the world. Coulson looked deep in thought, as always, ever stoic even when it came to the people who were very nearly his family. Fury took in a breath. "Until we figure out this...peculiar situation. I would like you all to stay a bord here. Contact there schools , you could bee here a while." Tony and Kim looked mildly shocked but not entirely surprised. Tony spoke. " Is that really the safest strategy? I mean with Loki and her in the same place, wouldn't that seem a bit, I don't know, dangerous?" Tony couldn't help the small glare at Fury. Fury gave him a look. "isn't everything we do dangerous? I just want everyone n the literal same page. That way if something does happen, were all in the same place." He started to walk out of the room. "Let Coulson know anything you guys need." Quinn sighed and TJ spoke. "So...were stuck here?" Tony sighed. "Seems like it." Coulson walked around the table to them. "There's plenty of food and beverages in the mess hall. Let me know when you need a room. Me and my agents are here to help you." TJ perked up. "Your agents? Is Agent ward around here?" "Yes. He's floating around here somewhere..."He trailed off as TJ walked quickly out of the room. Tony chuckled weakly before looking at Clint. "Seems you got competition in the role-model department." Clint gave a weak glare. " Laugh it up Stark."

TJ looked around, asked a few agents and found Agent Ward and Agent May in the training area of the hellicarrier He smirked, seeing May was winning. "Looks like someone is going soft." Agent May stopped as she had her fist an inch from wards face. Ward gave him a look as he blocked her. "TJ, always good to see you." TJ smirked, walking over. "Up for a spar?" Ward smiled weakly. "Ready to get your ass beat?" May sighed, walking out of the room.

It was hours later, going into nighttime that Quinn was in the mess hall, drinking her 5th cup of coffee. Gage walked in, knowing TJ was either in his room or chatting with fellow Agents. Tony and Kim were in there own room. He walked over as she yawned, looking at her notebook. "Hey, why don't you-" "No. I'm not going to sleep." She looked into her coffee, speaking quietly. "Not with him here." Gage sat next to her. "So what, you just gonna stay up for God knows how long until this is over?" She sighed "That was the plan." Gage smirked weakly. "Well it's a suck ass plan." He stood up, nudging her shoulder with his hand. "Com'on, your going to sleep-" "I'm not." He rolled his eyes. "Don't make me carry you." She groaned, standing, taking her coffee with her, at least until he took it out of her hand. She groaned again, taking her notebook. He chuckled, following her.

She got to her room, brushing her teeth and getting into pajama pants and her favorite band shirt. She sighed, going to sit on the bed as Gage leaned against the wall. She sat on the bed, looking nervous. "Your gonna stay with me right? We don't have JARVIS on here to alert you and I don't want something to happen, I mean if Loki tries something-" "I'm not leaving." He said softly but sternly enough to stop her rambling. She swallowed. He hated how scared..No..terrified she looked. She spoke, her voice close to shaking. "Can you at least sit on the bed?" She smirked weakly but he could see the fear in her eyes. Covering up the fear with over-confidence. "I promise, I'm not gonna jump you." He smiled weakly, going to sit on the bed. "Good. I was worried." He sighed, speaking softer. "Lay down." She let those words sink in before laying down slowly as he brought the blankets over her. He felt her shaking as he brought the covers to her shoulders. "I promise. I'm not gonna let anything happen to you. Close your eyes." She swallowed, closing her eyes and letting out a deep breath before her breathing slowed to sleeping. Gage sat against the wall, hand gently over her blanket covered shoulder.

She fell asleep fast and she dreamed but she didn't know she was. She heard a voice. A hauntingly familiar voice. "Wake up little miss Stark. Wake and see your kingdom." She woke with a start only to look around her and see she wasn't in her room with Gage watching over her. She was in some palace of gigantic proportions. Gold covered everything, every wall, every tile of the floor, lined every gigantic window. She swallowed when she saw Space outside and stars. "Hello, future Queen of Asguard." She looked toward the voice only to tense up. Loki sat upon the gigantic golden throne, scepter in hand. He grinned. "Hello. Do you like this? It can be your new home." She growled. "I don't want it to be." She stood, only to feel she wasn't in her pajamas but some Asguadian dress, red with golden ribbons going around it, the red material flowing around her, on the ground like blood.

He chuckled lowly, standing. "Do you like it? I though the color was...fitting." She glared. "Where are we?" He smirked. "Technically, your mind. Your already quite aware of my ability to project. That is what I am doing. Projecting. " She tried hard not to show her fear, keeping her glare on him but damn he was inside her head. She didn't like that. "Why of all people do you want me? Why can't you leave me the fuck alone? You don't think I get enough shit with this little gift of mine? I already have seven beings in my head, giving me visions of whats to come and trust me none of it is pretty. I don't need another let alone the God of lies and trickery."

He growled, now a foot away from her, the scepter to her throat. "You will watch your mouth." She glared.. "Fuck you." He let it sink in a moment before laughing lowly. "Oh such fire inside you." He brought back the scepter, hitting her face hard with it. She fell but barely got time to get up as he was standing over top of her, scepter to her throat. He smirked. "Seem familiar? Where is you knight now to save you?" He started to laugh at the look on her face. Her eyes widened, how could he know there little pet names? "Oh I know. I know plenty. I see your longing for him. It's pathetic. Of all the men the stark Princess could have she wants the dog." He smirked when she glared at him, seeing the hurt now in her eyes. "Am I a god of lies now as I speak truth? The one you should be weary of lying is your precious S.H.I.E.L.D. Someone let a spider inside." She growled, starting to fight him until he threw the scepter and got her wrists pinned to the golden floor. He smirked, whispering. "You shall see those you love die, over and over again until you become my queen." She growled as he brought a hand to her head. She shouted as he held her head firmly in place, starting to glow green. "No!" Then she felt a pain in her head, wincing. "Ahh..."

Gage had fallen into a half sleep, only woken by her whimpers. He leaned down, shaking her shoulder. "Quinn...Quinn wake up..." She woke, looking around, tears going down her face as she sat up quickly, looking. It wasn't until she felt strong, gentle hands hold her arms that she focused on him. He spoke softly. "Your ok. Your safe." She swallowed. "I'm not in Asgard anymore." He raised an eyebrow. "Asgard?" She nodded, her hands going to her head, feeling to see if there was a bump or wound. "He projected it into my head. Spoke to me." She looked away. He tightened his hold in worry. "What did he say?" Her lip trembled before steeling her emotions and looking up at him. "He said until I become his queen I'm going to watch those I love die over and over again." Gage looked confused. "What does he mean by that?" She looked down at the blanket until she heard it. A blood curdling scream from next door. Her eyes widened, looking. "TJ..." She got up, nearly running to the door. Gage followed, calling after her. "Quinn! Stop!" She ran to her brothers room, knocking on the door frantically, trying to get in. "TJ!" Suddenly his door opened as he answered it, pistol in hand as he looked woken from sleep. "Damn, Quinn it's three in the morning. What do you want?" Her lip trembled, reaching out to him. "Your ok?" He looked blankly at her. "Other then being woken at three in the morning, yeah." She suddenly hugged him, tears falling. He hugged her back weakly, now worried. Gage was behind her, looking worriedly to. "Sis? What happened?" She swallowed down the lump in her throat. "I...I heard you screaming. Like someone was torturing you." Her voice wobbled. Gage spoke up. "Hallucinations. That's what Loki meant." Quinn looked at Gage, looking terrified. How was she suppose to fight hallucinations let alone Loki?
