Comin back with a new chapter! Sorry...writers block and lack of sleep once again...

Loki: When do I come into the story?

Thor: You were already in the story...I was not though...*pouts*

ASC: Aw! Pouty Thor! XD

Tony: I need a drink...

Natasha: There are too many crazy people...

ASC: Come on Natasha, you know you love them...

Natasha:...

Clint: ASC does not own Avengers or anything Marvel...she owns Skyler and her friend owns Rowena!

ASC: But a girl can dream!


Skyler was right. When she had walked into the tower, the team stared at her. Steve, who was sitting on the couch had looked away and stood to leave. Clint bit his lip and walked towards the bar. Tony was glancing around, until he stood to refill his glass of scotch.

"Well, I'll…just be in my room." Skyler walked down the hallway to her room where she changed into a simple pair of black yoga pants and a gold colored tank top. She picked up a book and walked over to the balcony where she leaned against the glass barrier with a sigh.

"I am sorry, I never thought your team would act as such." Loki said.

"No, I sort of guessed that something like this would happen." Skyler opened the book.

"SHIELD does not understand that you are almost harmless." Loki sighed heavily.

"Yeah, but Fury's bosses said I might be communicating information and trying to take over the world in revenge against you I guess."

"They always assume the worse."

"So, you're coming here tomorrow with Thor. Should I call him Uncle Thor? Or just Thor?"

"Just Thor. I have yet to tell him about you, he might get over excited."

Skyler smiled. When she looked at the book, her eyes widened and a breath was caught in her throat. On the page was filled with bloody letters and a face. She threw the book away and clutched her head, wide eyes staring out at nothing. While Skyler's body began to seize up, she began to see blood all around her. She shot up and kicked the glass hard enough to break the barrier.

Out in the living room, the Avengers heard the glass breaking and shot up. Steve could tell that the sound came from Skyler's room and was the first one to come to the locked door. He pounded on the door and tried the handle, but nothing happened.

"Skyler!" Steve called.

Glass breaking was the only sound coming through the other side. He stepped back and used his strength to break down the door.

"Jarvis, what's going on in there?!" Tony asked.

"Miss. Rodes' heart rate is rising quickly. She is located on the balcony." The AI answered.

Steve ran in and caught sight of Skyler laying on the balcony where glass from the barriers surrounded her. She was clutching her head and shivering. He ran all the way to the sliding glass door until ropes suddenly appeared and blocked off the way to the glass doors.

"Skyler!" Steve shouted, trying to break the ropes; but they wouldn't budge.

"Sky!" Rowena ran forward, right through the ropes like they were never there. She put her hand on Skyler's shaking shoulder.

Skyler jerked sharply, but her body was too close to the edge and she began to fall. Time seemed to slow. Rowena tried to grab Skyler, but ended up slipping and falling with her. Steve and the rest of the team ran forward once the ropes disappeared. But it was too late. The two were already plummeting down the side of the tower.

"Ro!" Tony shouted.

Rowena screamed and closed her eyes. All around her, she could feel different threads from the many buildings around her. Out of pure desperation, Rowena connected to the strongest source of power and called out for help. Coming out of a window was Iron Man, but Tony was still up on the balcony.

The Iron Man suit grabbed Rowena and Skyler. Rowena's eyes widened and she could see a violet pulsing thread connecting her to the suit. It became apparent that Rowena was controlling the suit and not Jarvis or Tony. She looked down at Skyler, the woman looked so scared and was grasping on to whatever she could.

"It's okay Skyler, you're fine." Rowena said calmly, despite her pounding heart.

Skyler looked up, fear was still present in her eyes. "He's going to come back…he's going to find me again."

"It's going to be fine, we're going to protect you. Your dad is coming tomorrow, right? You'll be okay." Rowena smiled slightly.

"Daddy? Yeah…" Skyler's eyelids began to grow heavy.

"It's okay to sleep, Loki will be here tomorrow." Rowena said.

"Tomorrow…" Skyler mumbled before falling asleep.

The Iron Man suit landed on the balcony. Everyone stepped back and were looking questionably at the suit and then at Rowena. Steve took Skyler in his arms and Bruce guided him to the medical room. Tony looked around the suit and noticed that instead of the soft blue that was usually in the eyes and the place for the arc reactor, there was a vibrant purple color. Rowena's eyes were also glowing slightly.

"Jarvis, what's powering the suit?" Tony asked.

Clint and Natasha were looking at each other before Clint went out to follow Steve to the medical room, Natasha eventually went with him.

"The readings show that an energy spike is at the same levels with Miss. Spark's. There is a strong energy reading coming from Miss. Sparks that is nearly as strong, if not stronger, than the arc reactor." Jarvis answered.

Tony stepped up and placed a hand on the suit, nothing happened. "So, you can control my Iron Man suits." He looked at Rowena. "Anything else you can do Sparky."

Rowena shrugged and walked out, going in the direction of the medical room, the Iron Man suit following. "I'm gonna borrow this for a while."

"Um…no. That's mine, I never said you could borrow him for your games." Tony marched after her, telling himself that he would get someone up here and clean up the glass and make sure the new glass is more reinforced…probably bullet proof glass in this case.

"Wasn't asking, and I could almost care less about what you say about it." Rowena smirked. When she entered the elevator to take her down, she made the suit flip Tony off. To be completely honest, Tony thought that was impressive; but he wouldn't say that out loud.

Tony entered the elevator and began a run of questions, most of which involved Rowena's other abilities. Of course, Rowena would answer those questions with a simple shrug.

In the medical room, Skyler was checked over. She had only a few minor cuts from the glass and her hands were raw from grasping some glass. Bruce worked on her hands, after already making sure she had no serious injuries. The cuts on her hands didn't need stiches, but were heavily bandaged. By now, Skyler's heart rate was back to normal and she was sleeping.

Steve sat in a chair, resting his forehead on his clasped hands and his elbows on his knees. "She's going to be alright?"

"Nothing major. Some slight cuts, and some bruises from being caught by the Iron Man suit. But that's about it." Bruce took off his glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Skyler must have been set off by something either mentally or physically. If I had her medical reports on her mental condition then it would be easier to help her."

"What about those ropes?" Clint asked, coming in. "Those ropes were real enough, then disappeared. Looks like they were from magic."

"None of us knows anything about magic, but we know that Skyler is a bit unstable. Let's leave it at that." Bruce said.

"How come Rowena could get through the ropes and we couldn't?" Natasha crossed her arms.

"We don't know." Steve answered.

"Can we stop talking about what happened? Skyler may be able to hear us." Bruce said.

Rowena and Tony had stopped by, saying that they would be in the lab. Clint and Natasha eventually decided to go to the training room. Obviously, everyone was a little on edge with the fact that Loki was coming back to be at the tower and with Skyler's sudden reaction to something on the balcony. Things were starting to get a bit crazier.


Okay! Tell me how it was! Good? Bad? PLEASE TELL ME OR I'M GOING TO GO CRAZY!

Bruce: You're already crazy...

ASC: And I love every minute of my craziness...

Tony:...Seriously...is there going to be anything with XXXX and-

Steve: Tony...please...

Tony: Hah! Captain Virgin is embarrassed!

ASC: Tony...shut up...*pouts*

Tony:...ah...yeah...
