The room was silent, no one knew what to say, or even if they should break the silence. Kagome was pacing up and down the room while biting her nails. Rhodey was leaning against the wall watching her, worry. Clint and Natasha where sitting at the table sending glances at Kagome. Who seemed to have forgotten they were there. Tony, Steve, Bruce and Fury where analyzing the situation and trying to figure what was going on, so they would have a grasp of the situation before Thor came back.

"Okay he said that you spent Seven months with him. Where you on his side?" Fury heard the question leave Starks mouth and nearly flinched. Kagome froze and whipped around, her eyes glowing at the anger she felt. "Really that's what you think? And you call yourself a genius." She hissed out, before she went back to pacing.

The others watched Tony as his eyes widened and knew that he had figured it out. "No! You said that you were with a group of people! How did they let that happen to you!?" He slammed his fist down on the table that was in front of him. Noting how Kagome refused to look at him. "Why won't you look at me?" He asked softly. Kagome stopped pacing for a moment before looking up at the ceiling of the room.

"What makes you think that I was taken? I could have been handed over by another person, or went willingly to save a friend, or it could have even been a collective decision to let me go." Tony froze, his eyes wide with horror. Natasha looked over at Kagome and clenched her fists, she knew from experience that Kagome was more than likely taken or handed over by someone she trusted. "Please tell me you didn't volunteer to go!?" Tony snapped at her. The others didn't know how to stop the oncoming argument, seeing as two in the room had been through a similar argument before.

Kagome whipped around once again and glared at the man she called a friend. "Oh yes Tony like it's that simple right. Oh look here's poor little Kagome, she's agreed to come with you willingly so don't torture her, Oh and since she's so willing maybe we can sit down for tea. GO FUCK YOURSELF." The sneer was not hidden from her voice as she screamed at him. The room froze, for a moment. Before Tony could try to speak, a large boom was heard and everyone but Kagome looked over to where it came from.

Seeing Thor and his Fathers the group relaxed. "I hear that I was requested?" Oden said as he walked over to Fury ignoring the others in the room. Everyone in the room could feel the tension tighten as Oden walked passed Kagome without even a look. Fury gave a mental sigh and prayed that no one would get themselves killed in the next few hours. "Yes we have a situation and were told that we would require you help." Fury spoke as he showed Oden where he could sit.

Everyone who was standing moved to sit, except Kagome. Whom was standing with her back faced to Oden and fists white with anger, Thor walked around to Kagome, placing a hand on her shoulder and gave it a squeeze before he went to go sit beside his father.

Oden ignored the woman who was standing, despite the fact that he found it disrespectful, but he knew that human could be fickle. Fury looked over at Kagome, and knew that he would have to get her to explain the situation. "And just what is this situation that my son could not handle?" Oden spoke in a tone that everyone could tell was condensing. Tony move to stand up but Steve placed a hand on his shoulder stopping him. When Tony looked over at him Steve shook his head. Causing the man to heave a sigh and sit back down with his arms crossed.

Oden watched the exchange with a raised brow. Fury stood and walked over to where Kagome stood and sighed. "From what I know, we are fighting a new enemy who is more powerful than your second child." Fury was cut off from saying anything more by the bitter laugh that Kagome let out. The room looked over at Kagome who was laughing hysterically. Oden looked over at the woman with a raised brow. "And why would you consider this funny girl?" This only seemed to make her laugh harder. Causing Oden to frown and the rest to worry. "Have you no respect for your superior's?" the bitterness in his voice caused Kagome to stop laughing abruptly.

"Father I do not think it wise to- "Thor tried to stop the fight that he could feel was going to happen, if his father continued down this path. "Why would it not be wise? The girl needs to know that she is not above those in this room. You may have a female shield brother here and back home but that does not mean that they can act this they are about us." Oden spoke causing most of the men in the room of wince and send looks at both Kagome and Natasha. The later was faring much better than the former. "I would follow your Son's advice Old Man." The air in the room grew cold as Oden glared at the woman who spoke to him like he was nothing. "Watch your tongue."

Thor watched with wide eyes at his father started to stand, Thor quickly placed his hand on Oden's shoulder and made sure that he was sitting down. Kagome hid a smirk as she turned around and faced Oden. The man's eyes widened at the sight of her. Her smile widened when she saw the look of shock on his face. "Didn't expect to see me here did you? Thought that I'd still be the shell right, the small pathetic girl your kind used to as their pawn in a war they started but didn't want to continue." Kagome had a sickly sweet smile on her face as she looked at Oden. Who had turned red with rage. "You should not be here. You are no longer needed!"

"Father!"

"No Thor let the Old Man say his piece, I want to hear it. I want to know why He and the others abandoned me. In that castle. The one place I needed my powers and their support the most they go fuck off. I've waited years for this."

"Because of what was done!"

"I had no part in that!"

"You were there!"

"I objected to it!"

"You could have stopped it!"

"How! You took my powers!"

"You could fight."

"I was not trained."

"You had enough knowledge."

"I WAS UN WILLING!"

"YOU DON'T STOP IT!"

"YOU BLIND OLD FOOL! I LOVED HIM!"

The room was silent as they watched the two go head to head. No one knowing if they should step in or not. Or just let them hash it out.

"HE USED YOU!"

"I KNOW!"

"YOU LET HIM!"

"OH REALLY? JUST LIKE LOKI LET YOU USE HIM!"

"THAT IS NOT THE SAME!"

"THE FUCK IT ISN'T"

"YOU WERE NO LONGER WORTHY OF THE POWERS THAT WHERE GIVEN TO YOU!"

"I WAS UNWILLING HOW DOES THAT MAKE ME WORTHLESS IN THE EYES OF YOU KIND?…. OH WAIT YOU WERE FOLLOWING ATHENA RIGHT? SHOULD I BE HAPPY AND THANKFUL YOU DIDN'T CURSE ME, LIKE SHE DID TO MEDUSA?"

The two where breathing heavily know face to face. Both red with anger and hate.

"I was only seventeen. I needed help and you Gods tossed me out like yesterday's trash. You are lucky that I even stayed true to my path after what happened to me in those twelve months. Any normal person would have gone crazy. Yet you people just give me back my powers and except me to be thankful and not angry? Why was I punished over something I had no control over? Something that you Gods started?" Kagome said softly, Thor watched as his father backed away from her with his eye wide.

"You God's forget all the time that we humans are fragile. We break more easily then you do. Are bodies are not meant to take that sort of abuse, and come out fine. You people except too much out of the best of us. And when we fail you take it out of the ones trying to fix the wrongs. We were not created to be your scape goats. Or the things you use when you no longer what to continue with fights. We are living breathing creature, we bleed, love, cry, fight and die. And yet the lot of you treat us like toys. It's always the elders, never once did any of the children take part. I mean look how you treated Loki. And he was supposed to be your son. Children are not meant to be pawns in another man's game. All I wanted was help. And the only one of you who gave it to me was the one's you cast out."

Oden watched the woman in front of him. Realizing that most of what she said was true. Giving a sigh he sat back down and lowered his head for a moment. Before rising it back up to look her in the eye. He could see the fire in her eyes. His thoughts taking him back to the time when she almost lost it.

"You were never meant to be there. It was not written to happen."

"Yet it did and I was there and I was lost and afraid and alone, so terribly alone." Kagome whispered and walked back to the other end of the room head bowed. The room was once again silent no one knowing what to say. It wasn't long before Thor broke it. "Lady Kagome we should show Oden the video that was sent to us." Oden looked at Thor in shock, he had never known his Son to call him by his name when he was in the room. Kagome looked over at Thor and nodded. Giving him a thankful look, which caused him to smile in return.

Kagome turned to look at Fury who nodded his head and moved to replay the video that was sent through. While Fury was doing that Kagome moved so she was sitting beside Natasha and leaned her head against the woman's arm. Said woman moved so she could wrap an arm around Kagome, the others staring at Natasha in shock, not used to seeing her this open with people other than Clint.

After the video was played for Oden there was a pause, before he spoke. "So it was you Miko who asked for my help I take it. Kagome did not move from her spot. "I have a name the least you could do it use it. And yes as seeing who it is I thought that I should inform you."

There was another pause before Oden realized what she was saying.

"You plan to rescue the Lord of the West."

"Of course, he rescued me from Naraku, now it's time I return the favour."

"And you have the sword of hell I take it."

"Of course. And I don't plan on giving it to him. I can be very persuading if you have forgotten."

The Old God rubbed his face before nodding his head. "Then I guess I'll have to give you some help."

"Only if he is willing. You will not force him to help if he does not want to Oden."

He only nodded his head. Tony seeing the moment as an opportune time to ask the question that had been bouncing around his brain the whole day decided to ask the question.

"What happened to you?" Kagome still did not stir from her spot against Natasha. Looking at Oden who seemed to understand what she was silently asking him nodded.

"I'll show you."
