AN: Tumblr prompt: Dani (with an 'i') gets found by S.H.I.E.L.D. and they find out that she the genetic daughter of Loki. Dani on the other hand wonders how to break it to Danny (the original) that his dad is not Jack. And on the side, Loki is in denial that Dani is his daughter since he was never with anyone at the time it would have taken to conceive her (though maybe a couple years before that he did).
Drabble 48-You Are the Father!
Dani grit her teeth as she was pushed along, her hands cuffed behind her back. She could have easily escaped if it weren't for the fact that none of her powers were working. Despite being really short, she noticed that it was pretty effortless for them to push her around.
"Who are you?" She asked, looking at the man with an eye patch. He didn't turn around. Instead he was looking at several different screens that had her running around and kicking bad-guy butt with her brother Danny.
"Shouldn't I be asking you that?" The man said. What more did this guy want from her? They had already taken blood samples, mouth swabs, and a lock of her hair. Were they wanting to take her freedom away too?
Before she could ask what he waned from her, a woman in a lab coat ran towards the man with papers in her hands. She whispered something to him, and he visibly stiffened before turning around to look at Dani and her white haired glory. He narrowed his eye, thinking for a moment.
"If that's true than put her in the holding cell we made for him. If she's anything like her father we need to be prepared for her tricks. Loki won't one-up us again. And see if we can contact Thor. He needs to be in on this as well."
The guards holding her turned her around and shoved her forward. Did they honestly think her dad was Loki? No! Her dad was Mr. Masters! Granted she had had a falling out with him, but still! She wasn't the kid of some whiny demigod with daddy issues! And Danny was her brother, who was the son of Jack Fenton! She had been adopted, but there was no way he was, right?
She was led to a large, circular cell, and was told that if she tried anything they would send her plummeting to her death. They unlocked the cuffs before shoving her in, and then quickly left, looking back at her with looks of utter hatred for maybe being the child of an evil demigod. She scoffed and blew a lock of snowy hair out of her face before turning intangible and sinking through the floor.
She had to find Danny.

She was in Amity by lunch the ext day, trying to ignore the summer heat as she flew over the town invisibly. She looked in his room, thankful that he was there with his two friends. Maybe they could help as well.
"Danny!" She called, panting as she switched back to her human form, letting her now raven hair flop across her face. She blew it out of the way and stared at her brother. How was she supposed to tell him that he was adopted to? Or could be? ow as she supposed to tell him that they were the spawn of demigods?
"Danny, we need to talk," she said.
"What? What is it?" Danny asked, instantly alert.
"I was caught by SHIELD and they took some DNA samples and one of them said that we were related to that Loki guy," she spit out. If Danny hadn't been so well versed in translating Dani, than he would have needed to ask her to repeat herself more slowly. But he caught every word.
"That's impossible," he said. He looked a little worried now. "There's no way. I mean, he doesn't have ghost powers. Right? And besides, I got my powers from the portal, and so did you."
"Yeah. But what about our ice powers? Isn't that a Loki thing too?"
"Danny, she's not kidding," Tucker said, looking at his computer screen. He turned it around for his friends to see. "Look. That's Dani's DNA, and that's Loki's. Dani is the daughter of Loki, meaning you're his son."
"Meaning that my dad…Isn't my dad…" Danny's face fell, and Dani wanted to take back what she said. She didn't want to hurt the only family that cared about her. But she knew he had to know.
She needed to find Loki.

Compared to her trip from California to India, her flight from Amity to New York was only a few minutes. And she already knew where their Tower was, so she didn't have to waste time finding it. However, when she got there, Thor was just getting back. She quickly turned invisible and intangible before following him inside.
"Your eyeless man says that Loki has one or more children, both here on Midgard, and both with what you humans call super powers," his deep voice boomed in the small room. The only other person in the room, the Captain America, looked concerned.
"Does Fury know where she went? Or how she escaped? We need to talk to her," he sounded more concerned than he looked. It was nice knowing that your childhood hero was concerned for your well being.
"Nay, they know not where she went," Thor replied. "I saw the film, though. She had dropped through the floor."
"What do you mean?" Cap asked.
"He means I can walk through walls," Dani said. This was getting old. She needed to talk to Thor, and Thor needed to talk to her. "See?" She let herself go through the floor, stopping when it was at her waist, before gently floating back up and placing herself on solid ground.
"Who are you?" Captain America asked.
"Dani. With an 'i'. And I'm the one Thor here is talking about. If Loki really is my father I want to know!"
"I can take you to him," Thor said, looking bewildered. His supposed niece looked nothing like him or his brother. Her hair matched the color of the Ice Giant's home, and her glowing eyes were much to bright compared to his brother's dark, cunning green ones. But they still had to make sure.
"Thor, are you sure this is a good idea?" Steven asked. He nodded, putting his helmet on once again.
"Aye. Now come, small child, I will take you to your father."

Dani had always loved exploring the world and seeing new places. Her favorite was Africa, because of all of the free range animals and the beautiful sunsets. But now that she was looking at Asgard, she was having second thoughts. The rainbow Bridge was enough to sway her opinion.
She floated alongside Thor as they made the long walk to the palace dungeon where her possible biological father would be.
"My people will misunderstand if you are floating around. They will mistake you for a drauger," Thor cautioned.
"So do you think this will help?" Dani asked, stepping down on the ground and changing back to her human form. Thor blinked a couple of times, not knowing what to say. Because now the family resemblance was almost uncanny with her high cheekbones and black hair. Her eyes were ice blue, but that trait could have been carried from the mother. Her skin was pale, and when she smiled she had Loki's dimples. Thor nodded, not saying anything.
When they made it to the dungeon, she was surprised to see such a drastic change of scenery. This place was dark and wet and smelled like mold. It was awful compared to the nice, bright, pristine look of the halls she had bee admiring.
"Loki," Thor's voice boomed. They stopped in front of one of the cells where a man in a normal silk shirt rested against the wall. His hair was kind of a mess, and he didn't look up from his book when Thor said his name. Not until Thor banged on the glass. Loki sighed and looked up with a bored expression, but that changed when his eyes landed on Dani.
"What do you and your friend want, brother?" He asked, placing his book on the ground and standing back up.
"This, according to Midgardian science, is your child, Loki." Thor's voice was laced with caution at his brother's tone, and it was the mos serious Dani had ever heard him talk.
"I don't have kids, you dolt," Loki snipped. His voice was sharp and he became quickly agitated. "Quit wasting my time with children."
"Loki, look at her! She looks like you! And she has the same eyes as-"
"-Don't!" Loki interrupted. His power flared slightly, but he quickly settled it. "Don't you speak her name, Thor," he hissed.
"When was the last time you bed her," Thor challenged.
"Years ago. Years before she perished from the sickness. She never had any kids. Not any of my knowledge anyway. Besides, if this child was mine, she would have frost giant blood in her. But she has none."
"Wait, what's a frost giant?" Dani asked. Loki gave an exasperated sigh before showing her his now blue hand, coating the border between them in a thin layer of frost.
"Creatures of ice and snow, ruling the lands of Jotenheim, and enemies of Asgard," he replied bitterly.
"So they have ice powers?"
"Aye," Thor replied before Loki could. Dani shrugged put her hands together, blinding the brothers with a blue glow that lit up the whole room. When she was done, she removed one of her hands and held out a small figure. It was Captain America, standing as stoic as ever.
"My ice doesn't melt or break, either," she stated proudly, throwing it onto the ground. It bounced and when she picked it up again, there wasn't even a scratch.
"Leave me," Loki said darkly. When they hesitated, he yelled it again. His voice echoed throughout the dungeon, his anger flaring up again. The table flipped over and his bed was smashed against the wall. Then, he said it again, quieter this time. "Leave."

Loki sat against the wall, book forgotten. His elbows rested against his knees, his head in his hands. It wasn't possible, was it? He had only been with Eira for a few years. They had made love, but she never had any kids. Or maybe she had them away from him. He vaguely remembers the trips to Midgard she took, and she had made more while they were together. Was this because she could not bear having children with a prince in secret, or because she had somehow found out who he was?
Either way, with the little demonstration the girl with his Eira's eyes made, it was quite possible that she was his child. How many more children did he have that he had no knowledge of?
No. He didn't have kids. He never would have kids.
There was no way.
