Director Fury was not a patient man. He didn't like waiting, and he didn't like not knowing things. Meaning when Tony Stark told him about a woman the Avengers found while out fighting, he wanted to meet her as soon as possible.

He let out a sigh and looked at the file in his hands. While he was a very powerful man, and the head of a powerful agency, he never liked bringing people into the problems the world was going through. Especially when they were barely into their twenties and had no experience in fighting.

He scanned through the file for the third time that day, analysing every detail he could find about the young woman in the care of the Avengers.

"Amara Riddle, aged 22. Lived in Norway for fourteen years until her parents divorced and she moved to England with her father. Studied Medicine and Engineering at University. Recently worked as an employee for a business firm in East London. Then she was found by the Avengers, and is now being trained by a God of Mischief that is back on our planet" Phil Coulson said, as he crossed his arms and looked over to the Director who glared at him.

"Why that damned God of Mischief has to be back in our realm I don't know. There is a large list of sorcerers here on Earth, including the Sorcerer Supreme. Why couldn't Stark have called one of them?" Fury growled as he rubbed his forehead. Phil let out a small laugh before answering.

"Apparently Loki gave powers to someone in Amaras family hundreds of years ago. The power apparently only showed in those whom proved worthy of having Lokis power. Loki himself didn't even realise this would happen. He is just as shocked as we are, however, he is probably intrigued by the fact that this happened. Thor said Loki was very selective about who he gave powers to. Especially out of the very few people who were his followers." Phil explained, then looked out of the car window as they pulled up.

Nick let out a sigh as he stepped out of the car and walked into the Avengers Manor. It wasn't that he didn't like visiting the Avengers, It was more that he would rather not spend time with Tony Stark.

"Director Fury, Agent Coulson. Welcome to Avengers Manor. The team, Miss Riddle and Mr Laufeyson are waiting in the living room. However it appears Miss Riddle and Agent Barton are not getting along that well" J.A.R.V.I.S said over the intercom, causing Nick to give Phil an exasperated glance.

"What the hell is your problem!? I haven't done anything to you yet you seem to have had a huge grudge on me when you found out where my powers came from!" Amara shouted as Nick and Phil walked into the room. Phil tried to hold in a snicker as he saw Amara and Clint standing, shouting at each other. Most would have backed down, terrified, if they were shouted at by Agent Barton, and for once, it was funny to see someone going toe to toe with the archer. However, the Agent could also see the problem that the Avengers were now facing, and he didn't miss Loki smirking in the corner.

"Alright. Calm the hell down and shut up. Both of you!" Fury growled as looked between the pair. Amara looked over at the director and shut up immediately, then stepped back towards the God of mischief, who looked far too proud of himself.

"Director. So nice to see you again. And Agent Coulson was it? I thought I had killed you two years ago" Loki said, an amused tone in his voice, and his eyes glinting with mischief. Everyone noticed Phil physically tense up at the mention of his 'death', and it was a few seconds before he replied.

"Reports of my death were greatly exaggerated" Phil said, his voice steady, but no one missed the cold glare he was sending the raven haired God, who merely laughed, an amused smirk on his face.

Clint looked over at Loki, then to the Director, who was gazing at Amara.

"Director. You can't really be sure about these two staying here? Who knows what they are planning?! They could have already planned to murder any of us" Clint said as he glared at Amara. The Director never even had the chance to speak before a loud 'crack' sounded, and the archer stumbled backwards, his eyes widened in surprise. The room was silent as everyone looked towards Amara, who had her had raised, her eyes burning with anger.

"I am getting sick and tired of your accusations! Do you have any idea what I have been through the past few days? I have watched my friends die around me and I have been forced to realise my life will never be the same again! So don't you 'dare' treat me like I am some monster. I looked up to you ever since I heard about your team, but now I see you are just an arrogant arse who doesn't care what anyone else has been through." Amara shouted, her voice breaking slightly. Loki was the first one to move, and pulled Amara away from the archer slowly.

It was only when they were out of the room that Loki looked at the young woman. It was the first time he had ever seen her react in such a way, so he wasn't surprised to see the tears on Amaras face.

"Why does that jerk think he can speak to me like that? What have I ever done to him? I mean, I barely know the guy!" Amara muttered as she wiped at her eyes furiously. She barely got angry enough to shout at someone, but Clints constant accusations had angered her enough to make her lash out.

Loki stayed silent as the young woman ranted, his mind replaying Amaras actions. There was certainly power behind the hit, and the Archer would end up with a large bruise that would be difficult to hide. Amara was a strange woman, one Loki was still trying to understand. Although, he had never been at all good with women, not that any woman ever looked at him, especially when Thor was there.

"Lady Amara. You must learn to control this anger. If you do not, it will control you. Remember, your powers are linked to your emotions, by letting your anger out like that, you could have harmed anyone in that room. Thor and I can heal quickly, as can the super soldier and the Doctor, but the rest of that team cannot" Loki murmured as he stepped towards the young woman, pushing a strand of hair out of her face gently.

"I apologise for my actions last night. Your words angered me, and I should not have taken that out on you" The God whispered slowly, his eyes softening as he gazed at the young sorceress. Amara looked up at the rogue God, and as much as she knew she shouldn't trust him, she found herself speaking before her mind could catch up with her mouth.

"You're forgiven. I shouldn't have mentioned your heritage. Thor told me not to and I was the idiot that brought it up. So I'm the one who should be apologising, not you. But then again, you did hurt my arm so you kind of need to apologise for that, but I also should have been paying attention to the fact that I had a deadly God in my room…" Amara began to say quickly, but stopped when Loki began to laugh. The young woman blushed and gave the God a small, nervous smile and muttered a quick sorry.

Loki was surprised. He had not laughed in that way for years. Yet a woman whom he barely knew could coax a real laugh and smile out of him. The woman confounded him even more, leaving him befuddled by the young womans charm.

Loki watched Amara smile and let out a soft chuckle.

"Come. I believe the Director wanted to speak to you" The raven haired God said with a small smile before taking the young sorceresses arm and leading her back into the living room, hoping all hell wouldn't break loose.
