Chapter 4;

"Mummy, mummy! Look at what I can do!" An ecstatic, twelve year old Izzy yelled

Tara Wilson turned around at the sound of her daughter's incoming footsteps. She, like Izzy, had dark blond hair and ice blue eyes. Well Izzy USED to have icy blue eyes and dark blond hair, now the colour in her eyes and hair had changed dramatically; what was once blue was now a vivid emerald green and her hair was what could only be described as golden. A side effect from the medication she was on.

"What is it Izzy?" She sighed as she continued to wash the dishes

"This!" The child squealed in excitement

With a roll of her eyes Tara glanced at her; expecting to find her finger-painting or eating dirt or something childish. The glass bowl Tara had been drying slipped from her hands and shattered as a scream of terror tore its way out of her throat when she saw the balls of fire sitting in Izzy's hands

"Mummy what's wrong?" Izzy asked, the excited smile fading from her childish face as she stepped closer to her mum

"N-no" Tara stuttered and backed behind the small table they ate at; putting as much distance between her and the girl "Y-you stay over there"

Izzy stared at her mum with wide eyes. What had she done wrong? Why was she trying to get away from her?

"Mummy . . .?" She asked and reached for her

Tara cowered from her daughter's outstretched hand 'No this-this thing is not my daughter'. A sudden realisation crashed into her 'The medication!'

"Izzy, go to your room and don't come out unless I tell you to" Tara said and tried not to shake

Izzy looked at her in confusion but did as she was told. Once Tara was sure she'd done what she was told she rifled through s pile of papers until she found what she was looking for, quickly she snatched up her phone and dialled the number

Izzy opened her eyes to the sound of voices floating under her door. One of them was her mum's soft familiar voice but the other was a harsh, croaky voice of a man that she didn't recognise. Quietly she got out of bed and pressed her ear on the door

"What the hell does this stuff do?" Her mum demanded

"Why I told you; it just enhances her physical abilities which is what she needs"

"Stop lying!" She yelled "You've turned her into some kind of freak!"

Izzy flinched at her mum's harsh words.' Why am I freak?' she wondered

The male voice let out a cruel laugh that turned Izzy's blood to ice

"Well I guess we'll try to fix that" He said as his footsteps got closer and closer

Suddenly her door was flung with such force that she was knocked backwards. A huge man wearing a grey over-coat towered above her; she screamed for her mum as the man pulled out a huge needle filled with some kind of green serum and plunged it into the skin just above her heart.

"Mummy make it stop!" Izzy sobbed

But her mum just stood there in the doorway, looking at her as if she was some kind of disease. All the while she watched the man press the needles tip deeper into the skin, ensuring that every last drop made its way to her heart.

"You're not my child" Her mother hissed

Izzy woke from the nightmare with a start; her sheets were strewn all over the bed and she was covered in a cold sheen of sweat. With a shaky hand she reached for her iPod laying on the bedside table and checked the time; it was 2:30am. Oh you've got to be kidding me! One and half hours of sleep? She ran a hand through her now damp hair and slid out of bed; no matter how hard she tried she knew she'd never be able to get back to sleep after that nightmare.

Silently, like a shadow, she slipped out into the dark corridor and let her mind wander. She soon knew exactly where her feet were taking her when she found herself thinking about him, his mischievous smirk, his sea-green eyes and mysteriously dark nature. In fact she didn't even care if her father found out that she was going to see Loki again and got angry at her; to be honest she WANTED to get him peeved off so, if he did, it would be a bonus.

When she got to the room she didn't even bother to be quiet and sneak up on him again; she was to tense. Instead she just stormed in and began to pace, feeling Loki's eyes following her every move.

"They asked me to spy on you for them y'know?" she whispered and ran a hand through her hair

Loki stood and regarded her with a cool, flat expression; the one that basically screams 'I hate Earth and all its living beings. You are all beneath me and you should stop wasting all the precious oxygen this planet gives you'

"So, is that why your here then?" He asked and walked closer to the glass "To get all my little secrets and then go running back to Daddy and his precious Avengers?

Izzy watched him cautiously and instinctively reached for her dagger, which she'd left in her room . . . Great; Now I've managed to piss off a god who wants to kill us all. Please let the glass hold she though with terror as the hairs on her neck and arms prickled at the ferocious glare he fixed her with

"Well!" He demanded and slammed his fist against the glass

She flinched away from him as she noticed tiny cracks appear in the glass

"No. I told them I wouldn't do it" she snapped, her voice sounding braver than she felt

Confusion and shock flickered across his face; he cocked his head and raised a sceptical eyebrow at her, though she could still see anger burning in his eyes. She assumed that meant one thing: Explain, and do it fast

"My dad and your brother both came to me earlier tonight asking me to uncover your plans and then tell Fury everything I discovered and in return I would become an Avenger. But then I told them I didn't want to do that and left" she finished

Loki stood there in silence, his face an emotionless mask, considering what she'd said. I betrayed him she realised That's why he's being so hostile; he thought he could trust me and now I just made him question that

"If you must know, about three quarters of this ship probably hate me now because of that, my dad included" she joked in an attempt to lighten the mood

"Why did you say no? And why are you here"

She looked into his eyes; willing him to see the confusion in them. Because confusion was what she always felt when it came to anything semi-Loki related. She couldn't even explain to herself why she wanted to come and see him, let alone defend him. I should hate him. After all he's evil and I'm good . . . Aren't I?

"I dunno. I've wanted to become an Avenger ever since my dad told me about it and even before then I always dreamed of helping him save the world" She whispered "And now look at me! I'm sitting here, with what Shield would describe as The World's Most Dangerous Super Villain instead"

He smirked at her last comment. Finally! He doesn't look as pissed anymore. Izzy sighed and smiled at him

"Dealing with you is stressful, y'know that?"

He grinned and she leaned forward until her forehead was resting on the glass separating the two. With a small smile she closed her eyes, letting her arms dangle at her sides

"You look tired" He observed

"Thank you, Captain Obvious" she smirked, she'd always wanted to use that line

"I'm sorry I frightened you"

Izzy opened her eyes and looked up at him through her lashes all the while trying to compose her best attempt at Loki's signature 'I have no heart, therefore no feelings' expression

"You didn't frighten me"

"Oh? So you flinched because you thought it would be fun? He asked with a smirk

Loki watched Izzy as a small smile of amusement tugged at the edges of his lips. The poor thing ended up opening and closing her mouth to argue so many times that she looked like a dying fish gasping for air. I don't think I remember smiling this much in my life before he mused while he continued to watch her flounder for some sort of comeback but in the end she gave up with a tired sigh and slid down the glass until she was sitting on the cold metal floor. Unconsciously he shuffled closer to the wall of his cage purely so he could be that little bit closer to her

"Loki" she muttered "Tell me something about yourself"

He frowned. What could he tell her? There were many things in his life that he NEVER wanted to talk about and many memories that he didn't want to re-live, but there was a small part of him that wanted to tell her about them; to share his burden with someone else.

"Laufeyson" He finally said

Confusion danced in those big emerald eyes and he smiled

"Is that . . . Asguardian for something? Seriously Loki, I speak English and English only"

He laughed quietly to himself which only made her more curious

"C'mooon, translate it!" She pestered

"There is no translation for it. Laufeyson is my last name"

"Oh."

She looked away from him quickly but he still caught sight of the tell-tale red of a blush creeping into her cheeks

"Wilson" she whispered tiredly "That's my mother's last name, I still go by it sometimes so I'm not always noticed as Tony Starks daughter. Y'know its times like these when I wish you went tapped in a cell that resembles a giant fishbowl"

A yawn escaped her lips and she began to slump slightly. Loki moved to tap on the glass to wake her but stopped; from the blackish-purple colouring under her eyes it was obvious she needed rest. So he let her be and settled for watching over her with his sea-green eyes instead

I'll be out of this cage soon Izzy, I can promise you that he thought with an evil smile

The next morning Izzy was jerked away by the sound of raised voices echoing around the hallway; one of them sounded like it belonged to her dad. Oh goodie, I get to deal with an angry pack of Avengers! She though and grimaced as her stiff muscles screamed in protest from a night of sleeping on the hard floor.

"Tell me Loki, why did you let me sleep here?"

She listened closely for some smart-ass response but instead was rewarded by absolute silence. She frowned and slowly rolled over.

"Loki wh -"

Her throat constricted at the sight of the empty glass cell in front of her. Cursing under her breath she got up, ignoring the pain from her muscles, ran from the room and headed directly for the Avengers. She guessed she was getting close to the source of their voices when suddenly a huge explosion boomed somewhere and the huge Helicarrier suddenly lurched sideways, crashing Izzy against the wall opposite her.

"Ow, seriously?" she muttered and rubbed her head "That's the third time in two days"

With a quick shake of her head she got back up and continued to look for someone; now that she could no longer hear the raised voices of her friends she had to rely on memory to find her way to the lab. And her memory wasn't the most crash-hot thing in the history of great memories. C'mon where is it?

Suddenly a loud crash echoed through the hallway. No far away from her one of the walls had begun to bulge as if someone was smashing their fist into the thick metal; her eyes widened with fear and she backed away as the metal groaned, quickly she summoned a fire in her hand as the wall finally gave way and was followed by a mighty roar

Shit she thought when the huge green figure of the Hulk crashed through the wrecked wall and looked directly at her. A low growl sounded from his throat and he thundered towards her, with a cry of terror Izzy turned, extinguished her fire and bolted down the hallway; when it came to the Hulk, running and praying he wouldn't catch up to you was pretty much your best and only option. As she rounded a corner she burst into what looked like a perfect replica of the cargo bay and saw Thor

"Thor!" She screamed

The blond god whirled around, his eyes widening at the sight of Izzy pelting towards him and away from a very big, very green and very angry Hulk.

"Get out of the way!" She yelled while he continued to stand there

Are you really THAT stupid? She thought desperately as she launched up into the air, flipped herself over his head, landed in a roll and stoped in a crouch behind him. The Hulk was still barrelling towards them and Thor still stood in the same place

"Thor, you moron! GET OUT OF THE WAY!" she cried

The Hulk lunged at the same time Thor's hammer, Mjölnir, flew into his hand and was swung into the Hulks jaw with bone-crushing force. Izzy stared as the Hulk was thrown back into a metal pylon which snapped on impact. She leapt to her feet, ignited a fire in her hands and stood by the god

"Stay where you are young Stark" Thor growled

"No!" Izzy snapped "He attacked me first!"

Thor turned and glared at her but a small movement in the corner of her eye caught her attention. She turned her head only to just see Loki slither past; she resisted the urge to call out to him and instead turned to Thor

"Actually . . . I think you should handle Hulk, I mean your immortal right?" She said quickly and raced off after the God of Thunders brother

She burst out into the corridor and whipped her head from side to side; two exits, one going up, to what Izzy assumed was outside, and one going somewhere into the ship I'm going to say he wants to escape not go visit Nick Fury she thought and stalked up the steps. When she was nearly at the top she peeked up onto the deck and there he was, his dark, slicked back hair shining as he spoke to a few S.H.E.I.L.D agents what the hell? I thought they were on our side. One of the agents jerked his head towards an aircraft, ready for take-off, on the deck. Loki smiled and strolled towards the jet

"Loki!" She cried and jumped from her hiding place

The newly escaped god tense and the agents raised their guns, aiming directly for her chest, head and pretty much everywhere else they could shoot at and kill her instantly. Carefully she raised her hands in surrender and one agent approached her, roughly grabbing and dragging her towards Loki.

"Ah, geez be careful would you!" she hissed

The agent, obviously not impressed by her request, twisted her arm even more. On instinct Izzy stopped shoved her elbow into his ribs which caused the man to grunt in pain as he bent slightly which gave her the perfect opportunity to slam her knee into his face. The agent's fallen comrades rushed forward to aid him and grab her but Loki held out a hand, he smiled and raised an eyebrow

"That was quite impressive" He complemented. Just like the first time we met

"Sir?" an agent asked uncertainly, his weapon still aimed at Izzy

"Don't worry" He said smoothly "She's a . . . friend"

His smooth voice sent shivers down her spine, she couldn't tell whether it was the good kind of shivers or not, as he eyed her; he seemed so much more intimidating and dangerous to her now that he wasn't entrapped by glass, now that there was absolutely nothing that could stop him from killing her in a second. The other men lowered their guns as he motioned for them to give the two some space, he turned to her; amusement glittered in his eyes.

"What are you doing here?"

"I-I just" she stopped, I can do this, I can tell him . . . I think, and took a deep breath "I don't want you to leave"
