It felt like I was just shot from a cannon, I fell to the ground and felt the sand beneath my hands, I quickly got up and looked around. We were standing in a desert surrounded by SHIELD agents, a few stepped forwards with cuffs, father and I held our arms out as they put them on us. We followed us they walked us onto the jet, Fury stood inside glaring at us. We were sat at opposite ends, Fury came over to me,
'Not so arrogant this time' I went to head butt him and he stepped back, Thor grabbed my shoulder and shook his head at me,
'Remember your punishment child, I risked much getting you here' I rolled my eyes and slumped back in my seat, I could see father looking down to me, the corner of his mouth raised in a sly grin, I went to smile back but my threads tugged at my lips causing me to cover my mouth in pain, Fury went over to Loki and I shut my eyes, focusing on the sounds of the jet as it started up.
I awoke as the jet started descending, I looked around and saw that a few agents were watching me intently, I winked at them and shook my cuffs, they all looked away, I looked to Loki and saw him watching Fury like a hawk. As the wheels touched the ground I tried to turn and look out the window, somebody grabbed my face and forced me to look forwards, they unstrapped me and pulled my cuffs forcing me to stand,
'Careful' Thor grabbed the agent, 'She is not to be mistreated by your hand' the agent snorted,
'What's she gonna do? She can't hurt us' I yanked my cuffs and he stumbled towards me releasing his grip, I grabbed him by the throat and glared at him as I applied slight pressure. I quickly released him and stepped away slightly,
'She is of Asgard, do not underestimate her abilities, it would not do you well'
'Enough of this, get her off the jet and into the van' I was marched of the jet, past my father who nodded appreciatively at me,
'Impressive, just remember we are not to hurt anyone' I nodded as I stepped of the edge of the ramp.
I felt my face pale as I caught sight of the Captain and the assassins standing by two vans, I tried to stop walking but was shoved towards them, I looked down to hide my mouth from them,
'Friends, it is wonderful to see you again.' Thor went and shook Steve and Barton's hand then looked around, 'Where is the man of iron?' I tried to look around while keeping my head down,
'Just us big guy, Stark had some stuff to do'
'Barton!' Fury's voice caused me to jump slightly as he stood right behind me, 'You and Rogers go with her, Thor and Natasha get Loki' someone grabbed my arm and marched me to a van, they pushed me in and Barton and Steve followed. I sat in the corner, Barton sat opposite and Steve sat near the doors.
We had be travelling for a while when Barton kicked my foot, I nodded in acknowledgement but kept my head down,
'Look up' I turned my head away slightly, 'Why wont you look up?' I tapped my hands against my legs, he kicked my foot again, 'You listening' I nodded slightly again, 'Then what's so fascinating about the floor?' I shrugged, 'So why look at it?' he leant forwards and grabbed my chin, I batted his hands away,
'Clint, leave her alone' I closed my eyes as I heard his voice, it was cold and emotionless,
'Don't you wanna know why she isn't looking up. It's gotta be interesting'
'No, now drop it' I heard him lean back against the side of the van,
'Can't believe you aren't even a little bit curious. It's gotta be something to do with her punishment, if it's Asgardian punishment which could be deadly, then what the heck would they have done to her face?' I covered my mouth looked up and glared at him before looking down again, keeping my hand over my mouth, 'What the hell are you hiding!?' I shook my head, 'What's wrong with your mouth?' I shook my head. He grabbed my arm and pulled, I dug my fingers into my cheek as my head was ripped up,
'CLINT!' he let go of my arm, I stared at him with my mouth covered and raised an eyebrow,
'Just show us what you're hiding, we're going to find out anyway, may as well tell us now' I shrugged, and moved my hand so I was only blocking my mouth from Steve's view,
'OH MY GOD! Does that hurt?' I covered my mouth and gave him a disbelieving look,
'What is it?' we both looked at Steve,
'Nah, Cap. You don't wanna see that' he looked between us both, before looking at me, I looked past his shoulder to avoid looking him in the eye,
'I think I do, I need to know what you reacted to' I went to take my hand away Barton clapped it back against my mouth,
'Alright, but just remember it's her punishment for attempting to kill Tony' he pulled our hands away slowly. Steve's eyes widened as he saw the threads holding my mouth shut, I looked back down at the floor,
'How do you eat?' I shook my head to say I didn't, 'When was it done?' I held up eight fingers quickly, the silence that followed was stifling.
I made a tiny ball of green mist appear in my hand, I threw it back and forth between my hands, my eyes following it, every now and again I would make it go a different shape mid throw but always catch it as a ball,
'When did you learn magic?' the mist ball disappeared as I looked up at Steve, I pointed to my mouth and his cheeks went a little red, 'Sorry, didn't think about that' I nodded and made the mist ball in my hand again, I threw it up in the air repeatedly, watching as it went. As the van stopped and the engine turned off I threw the ball and it vanished. The doors opened and Fury stood there looking at us, Steve got out, Barton pulled me up and led me out, we were in the Avenger tower garage, the other van was opened and the others got out,
'Where the hell is Stark?' Fury looked over at a few agents, one stepped forward,
'He went out in his suit sir. He was last located twelve clicks east from here'
'I want him here as of five minutes ago. And I don't want to hear any excuses' a few agents disappeared off, 'Get them to their respective rooms and out of my sight' Steve nodded and the team took Loki and I to the lift. We all stood in the lift, Loki and myself being kept away from each other,
'Should we tell them it's pointless keeping us separate?'
'I see no reason to do so, if it were important Thor would most assuredly bring it up' I looked over at him and he raised an eyebrow at me, I hummed in agreement, everybody in the lift looked at me, I coughed then started humming lift music, Barton grinned before leaning over to Romanov,
'She still could be Tony's, she's just as irritating in enclosed spaces' I frowned and started humming Call Me Maybe, everyone groaned, Romanov whacked Barton,
'Just had to speak. If you think she's like Tony then she's going to do the same as him when you say something about him when he's around' I made the mist ball again, father glared at me and shook his head, it flew at him and stopped before it hit him, dissipating as he gave me a warning look,
'Not in enclosed spaces, they may think you're threatening them'
'I did it in the van, they didn't seem to care'
'Look at their faces' I looked at them all, Thor seemed to be in his own little world, while the other three all stared at us, ready to take action at any moment, I held my hands up and shrugged.
The lift stopped and it opened, we were on Steve's floor, he stepped out the lift and Romanov pushed me after him,
'Sure you don't want help Steve?' he smiled,
'I'm just putting her in her room, see you in a while' the lift doors closed and Steve started walking to my rooms door, he opened it and waited for me to follow him. I walked forwards and stopped in the door way, I attempted to smile at him, ignoring the pain as the threads tried to rip through my lips, he unlocked my cuffs and looked at me, the lack of expression on his face was painful to look at. I turned and went into my room, he shut the door behind me, I went and sat on the bed, taking in the silence of the building.
