Chapter 2: Of Bad Memories and Helping Loki:

Mikan was in the dark, she couldn't see a thing. Where was she? Were her eyes closed? She slowly tried to open and close them, but her traitorous body wouldn't respond her... In fact, she couldn't even feel it...

Was she finally dead? After these two years working like a slave for Kuonji, it would be such a huge relief! She wouldn't have to taint her hands anymore, she was going to be free again! Finally freed from that constant pain, freed from her fears, freed from this suffocating self-hatred, this overwhelming feeling of shame, freed from her life, freed from Kuonji…

Would she be able to meet her parents and Natsume again?... At this thought her scarred soul warmed again. How she had longed to see them!...

Were these strange sounds voices? Did people scream in Heaven? Fear began to build inside her. Was she not worthy enough? Had she been sent to Hell? Mikan felt like crying… Yet she didn't even have that luxury…

She didn't know how much time passed. She was so alone… so alone… Why did she feel so cold when she didn't even have a body anymore? How long would she have to endure this?...

After what seemed to be ages of wondering, she finally sensed another presence… She could feel it coming toward her…

When she felt that warm light encircling her, Mikan wasn't afraid. She still couldn't see anything, but she sensed it. It was such a strange experience, she didn't even know if she could be able to describe it herself… She had never felt like this before… It was so safe, so welcoming, like a new extension of herself... It was now humming at her, begging Mikan to accept it. She wasn't one to comply. She wouldn't be alone anymore…

As they both united, Mikan finally felt it again. Her body. Her aching body. Why did it hurt so much? Where was she? She tried to open her eyes again. Her eyelids painfully responded to the process, but now, she was able to see again…

Every cell of her body was screaming of pain. Her vision was a blur colorful mess of waves. Mikan blinked several times before to feel it fade slightly. It was enough to allow her to see the several burned dead bodies in front her. She was in what she recognized to be the secret research laboratory center of Kuonji and his men. She felt a building panic rise inside her as she contemplated their dead bodies.

When she finally began to understand the meaning of the horrific scene before her, she heard a terrible horrified scream. As Mikan released that the scream had been hers, she was already falling back into unconsciousness…

When Hermione had felt the Legilimency spell backfiring at her, she had acted quickly, preventing herself from being hurt. Alas, it wasn't the case of Mikan Sakura, whose body slammed into the glass wall behind her. The moment Hermione heard her sharp gasp of pain, she felt slightly guilty, even though she knew that she couldn't have predicted such a possible turn of events.

Thor and Dr. Banner immediately ran toward Mikan. The doctor began to check her injuries - the most pressing seeming to be her right arm, which was now bent at an unnatural angle. Careful to not further disturb it, Banner carefully pulled up Mikan Sakura's sweater to check for any immediate signs of internal damage.

But no one in the room was prepared for what they were about to see.

Her stomach and chest were a mess of scars - long, thin, short, jagged. There didn't seem to be a patch of skin that was left untouched. A few of the longer ones stretched around her sides. Delicately shifting the unconscious woman, Banner's fears were confirmed: her back was the same motley of wounds.

Thor had knelt on Mikan Sakura's other side. "Look."

He held her good arm, and gently pushed up her sleeve. Her arms had not been spared torture either."

Hermione shuddered as she remembered her own experience with Bellatrix. It had been the most humiliating and horrifying moment of her life. However, she had been through this only once, when Mikan Sakura had probably been acquainted to such cruelty more often… Hermione still couldn't feel at ease with her. These scars may have been what have brought the young woman in there… Someone could easily be behind her actions, controlling her. But now Hermione was sure that it wasn't Loki, or at least not directly. He wasn't the kind of evil that used torture to manipulate the others. No, he would find such ways too vulgar for him, particularly when Loki's charms and charisma were habitually enough to seduce people to join him of their own will.

The witch approached the unconscious body of Mikan Sakura, wand in hand. With a fluid flick she tried various healing spells starting with the most basic ones: Ferula and Episkey. However, Hermione realized with both frustration and surprise that her magic was bouncing off some kind of force field. The Alice could block her magic. Hermione felt her heartbeats go crazy. If Mikan was indeed a real threat, then it could make no good.

Since it seemed that her magic was blocked by her barriers, Hermione had no other choice but let a muggle doctor take care of her. The woman was dangerous; there was no question about that. But Nick Fury seemed to be the only one callous enough to not appear affected about what he just saw. But then again, the type of detachment would probably keep them all alive if she ended up being a true threat.

"Miss Granger did you manage to cast a healing spell at her?" finally asked her Dr. Banner, breaking the silence that had fell in the room since the incident.

"No, I didn't use my magic, since it could only worsen her state I think…"

"Then it means that she also possesses the ability to heal herself, even when she is unconscious, because her dislocated shoulder had repositioned itself by its own." frowned the doctor.

"Well if it is the case, she is safe, and we have no reason to stay here anymore.", simply replicated the witch.

"Still I don't get it, if she is able to heal herself so quickly, how does it comes that so much scars remains on her body?" wondered Thor.

"This only means that there is a limit to her body's healing process. It is very probable that the people that have done such a thing to her enjoyed this ability too much, to the point it wasn't sufficient anymore… Or that she simply gained this ability afterward." stated Stark.

Thor resumed his attention on the scarred body of Mikan Sakura, frowning. This treatment was barbaric, but he wasn't going to trust her only because of a sorry experience. He had again seen how powerful she was and couldn't help but wonder who could have rendered her body to such a state… Did they have to fear another enemy, more powerful that she already was?

"If she can block your Magic, Lady Granger, I think that she might be able to counter my brother's too, with more difficulty, of course. Which would imply that if she was ever to help him, it would be only be willingly." started Thor.

"I don't think that we can trust such a thing since Loki was in the possession of the Mind Stone…" Banner thought aloud.

"And that's the thing. We don't know how she might react to an Infinity Stone," Natasha said. "From what we've seen, she's more powerful than Loki. She can block magic. Whatever barrier she's using could potentially resist the Stones."

"But it's impossible to resist the Stone," Hermione contested. "And, I hate to say it, but Asgardian magic is ancient and far more powerful than what any witch or wizard from our world can conjure."

Natasha was quick to retort. "Well, after the Helicarrier attack, Barton seemed to achieve 'the impossible' since he was able to break away from the Mind Stone's influence."

"But he couldn't resist it initially. He was still Loki' puppet for a time."

"It still proves that the Infinity Stones are not infallible. Barton isn't a wizard or a god and he broke free."

Hermione sighed. "I hope you're right, but I just can't place my trust in it."

Mikan woke to a semi-soft bed and a thick blanket draped across her. Turning her head slightly, she spied her sweater on the table next to her. She reached out to grab it, pausing for the briefest moment as she caught sight of her battered arm.

Hastily throwing on her sweater, Mikan found herself beginning to shake. She wasn't cold, but the memory of that night was worming its way from her dreams to her waking thoughts.

Mikan tried to relax her shaking body, in vain. It was the first time in eight years that she dreamt about that night. Two whole years of her life had been stolen from her. The Alice had been the subject of numerous experiences led by Kuonji, therefore her body had been plunged into a long-induced coma. When she had finally woke up from that deadly state, it was to see that the laboratory where she had been imprisoned had completely blown up. Obviously, she was the only survivor and, even though she didn't want to think too much about it, Mikan knew inside her that the explosion had something with what she had experienced right before her rude awakening.

As much as she had tried, it was impossible for her to feel any remorse. After all, she wasn't the one responsible of an experiment that went wrong… Especially not when she had finally understood what they had made to her. Her Consciousness was clear of any murder, technically...

'Yes, I have no remorse. I can't possibly feel sorry for such cruel people. Not after what they had turned me into, not after what they had done to Natsume, not after all the pains and humiliations that have been through. They only got more than they had bargained for by pushing their quest of power too far… I won't allow them to drive my life away from me again because of unnecessary sorry feelings.' Yes, her body might have been tainted by their dirty schemes, but her mind and soul had remained pure and innocent. 'Isn't?'

Mikan observed her hands as she moved them in front of her eyes. These two years had completely changed her life. Afterwards, she did have to learn to master her new Alices, countless Alices to the point that she still didn't know them all. With a Mind-Reading Alice which was at first too powerful, she did have to find a cloistered place to live in, and she could still here the voices as whispers… She once tried to remove all the Stones from her body, she had spent several weeks doing so, but just as if moved by their own will, they returned every time inside her body.

It was when she had realized three important facts. The first was simple, this was her life and her burden to bear. The second one was that all possible information of what they had done to her had been lost when the laboratory had blown up. And the third fact was the most annoying. The only reason why Kuonji had made all these experiments on her and not on him was her body. As the only remaining owner of the Stealing Alice, her body was the perfect receptacle for such an experiment. While his body could only receive three Alices Stones, hers could host an infinite number.

The young woman sighed as she moved to sit on the chair beside the bed. Mikan cleared her mind and distracted herself by noting every single detail of the capsule and its environment. Of course, it didn't take her long before her attention was drawn to the only interesting thing within the cellblock: Loki.

A turbulent and aggressive aura surrounded his cell.

Oh yes, this was going to be interesting.

Since the very start of his imprisonment, Loki had been, well the word 'bored' couldn't quite do it justice. He had no items, objects, or even something to fidget with. Magic was out of the question as they surveilled his every movement and according to Fury, he wouldn't hesitate to "drop" him before he could blink.

But that was really for his more overt displays of Magic. And what they did not know, would certainly come back to hurt them.

To add to his torments, he was very tired and weak, drained progressively of his vital energy. His heart sank, and his head was hurting like hell. There were days where he could barely open his eyes… Thanos was enjoying punishing him too much for his own liking… Of course, he held always a perfect composure in front of his enemies Yet, it had become more and more difficult to not let the façade slip.

He knew of the woman in the cellblock and her willing capture. He heard of her powers and how she was even able to combat the annoying little Miss Granger.

But what was a surprise to him was her suddenly apparating into his cell.

He will maintain until he dies that he did not yelp when she appeared.

"What the Hel are you doing?"

Mikan said nothing. She just took him in, her eyes roving across his body. She looked neither pleased nor displeased. He didn't like it.

When her silent observation of him continued, Loki decided to use the time to examine her as well.

She was quite tall for a Midgardian woman. She was lithe and quite appealing even by Asgardian standards. But her eyes did not match the youth her body exhibited.

Their eyes locked and Loki felt as if she were looking into his very soul. In that moment, she (quite uncomfortably) reminded him of Heimdall.

The woman suddenly smiled. It was kind and non-threatening.

"It must be very draining isn't it? It's the first time that I've experienced such a thing. He must be very powerful to have such an overwhelming influence on you. No wonder why you look so tired! Both Mind and Soul, hmm… He didn't go easy on you." she hummed absentmindedly, more to herself than to him.

Loki, who knew perfectly well what she was speaking about, tensed unwittingly. 'So, she truly is as observant as Heimdall… It wasn't just my imagination then.'

"You truly are a curious one, aren't you?" he smirked, slightly amused when she tilted her head a little bit more, "What is your name my dear?"

"I'm sorry, I was a bit distracted and forgot all my manners! My name is Mikan Sakura, but I'm pretty sure that you know it already, I've sensed your spiritual presence in my capsule earlier after all! I'm still very pleased to meet you anyway." She continued to smile at him.

She then approached him and before he could say anything, placed one hand over his heart and another on his forehead. Loki didn't move away, he was too curious and had observed her enough to know that she had no ill intent. As she seemed to be very concentrated on what she was up to do, she closed her eyes. Loki smirked knowingly. What an easy prey had come to him. She didn't fear him, or at least tried not to, which had been her first mistake.

His right hand wondered near her face, without making any skin contact. Then, his cool long fingers caressed carefully her check, curious to see how she would react to this. The Midgardian's hazels eyes opened. Her gaze paused on his hand. She studied his fingers and didn't try to find his eyes, without specially trying to avoid eye contact. She didn't try to move away. She knew that this gesture didn't hide any sensual meaning. He was only studying her, curious to see what brought her to his capsule and how useful she could be to him.

At first, Loki didn't feel anything, then the coldness around him let slowly place to a peaceful warm. Both his eyebrows raised as he saw an orange light emanate from where her hand rested over his heart, and then a yellow one where her other hand was. As the mysterious woman in front of him was finished, he could see in her hands two small little gems, a yellow and an orange one... 'Two little miniatures of both the Mind Stone and the Soul Stone!' He could feel all the color draining from his already pale face. There were no words for this.

The young woman in front of him had achieved the impossible. This Mikan Sakura had easily captured the essence, which was inside of him, of two of the six most powerful artefacts in the whole Universe, and had managed to successfully extract them by giving them the form of two little gems… And he could bet that she didn't understand the true enormity of what she had just done.

"You're free from him now," she said kindly before stepping away and disappearing.

Loki could still feel the warm on the two places her hands had been. He had lived for now two thousands of years, and he still could count on one hand the number of people or things that had managed to truly surprise him, let alone render him of all people speechless. Mikan Sakura just found herself added to that list.

Mikan was now sitting on her bed, contemplating the two small gems in her hands as they began to disappear into her body. She was perfectly aware of their nature.

It was a truth universally acknowledged that Mikan Sakura wasn't known for her cleverness. But, after eight years of research about everything concerning the Alices, their natures, origins, and any others information which could help her master her new powers, she could easily claim possessing a very good knowledge about Alices Stones, Infinity Stones, and many other subjects that she shouldn't be aware of.

Looking for information had been a hard and frustrating task, since there was only a very little number of books, and article about each of these subjects, and they were spread all over the world. Mikan had achieved it only thanks to her countless Alices, which have proved themselves to be sometimes very helpful.

During her investigation she had discovered many hidden societies and communities, just as Kamar-Taj for instance. It has been a lucky discovery since the only person she had ever entrusted about her personal quest was the Ancient One. The latter had gladly allowed her to consult the books of their library. Their trust had been mutual, and Mikan even considered her a good and beloved friend. She had also sympathized with Wong, Karl and Stephen...

Mikan smiled fondly, her searching in the Ancient One personal collection did always get on the nerves of Wong and he kept repeatedly saying to her the same words to her over and over again: 'No knowledge in Kamar-Taj is forbidden. Only certain practices. Some books are far too advanced for anyone other than the Sorcerer Supreme and you are only sticking your nose in these particular ones!'. To Wong's despair, Mikan and Stephen had developed the perfect strategy to sneak out of the library with more books than they were allowed to borrow, that they would read in the Mirror Dimension. 'Mostly forbidden ones, of course...' Mikan smirked.

Later, fearing for Wong's sanity, the Ancient One had given to her complete access to her books which had allowed her to make some very interesting discoveries… Indeed, the young woman had been introduced to the Infinity Stones for the first time. Since she had observed some similarities between these two kinds of Stones, she chose to expand her research to them as well. And she hadn't been disappointed. Three years later she had finally discovered the only article making the link between Alices Stones and Infinity ones:

"The Soul Stone is the only one of the six Infinity Gems which no one, supposedly of course, knows where it is contained, nor it's full power […] I still thought so, until I met a very powerful Asgardian wizard, or Sorcerer as he wants me to call him, named Allice few weeks ago. […] He needed someone able to study the capacities and proprieties of his new discovery. Therefore, he came to me.

[…] It had turned out that it was the lost Soul Stone. I wonder where he had found it…

[…] Today Allice was furious. Odin had banished him from Asgard. I think that he tried to steal the Space Stone which was under Odin's care: The Tesseract. I guess that he was too disappointed by the power of the Soul Stone, which is quite useless to him.

[…] He is working on a new project. I think that he wants to create another kind of powerful Stones. Certainly copies of each of the six Infinity Stones, while using the Soul Stone to provide enough energy for their creations. […] I guessed right! He had achieved to create two kinds of Stones. The first is called the Philosopher's Stone. It derives its power from people's souls, allowing its owner to extend his life as he pleases. He asked me to keep it under my personal care. […] The second kind of Stones has surprised both of us. The Soul Stone did give it one of its own properties: it was sentient, and it has its own will! At first, we thought that his creation had failed, since it didn't work on him, nor on me. It later turned out that these Stones, Alices Stones as he likes to call them, are the ones who chooses their owners!

[…] These Stones, which initially were only of the number of four and still with a lot of unknown properties, have the ability to split or duplicate themselves to infinity. […] A same Stone can give a completely different kind of power to each of its owners, so we deduced that the Stones adjust themselves according to their owners' souls' natural dispositions! […] For unknown reasons, they can only choose Midgardians and they insert themselves in their bodies, we can't see any physical differences between an Alice and a simple Midgardian. An Alice Stone links itself to the soul of its owner right before his birth. […] Their power isn't, apart for few exceptions, very powerful, and sometimes they happen to be completely useless!

[…] Allice informed me today, that he has managed to create two other Alices Stones, the two most powerful and important ones:

· The Stealing Alice Stone, which can also be used as an Inserting Alice, allows its owner to remove an Alice Stone from its owner's body, but also allows to insert other Alices Stones inside someone's body. Only the owner of this Alice is compatible to all the others Alices Stones. If someone isn't compatible to an Alice Stone, his body can't accept the Stone, or he is in the impossibility to use it.

This Alice Stone is specific due to its genetic character. Not every generation has a Stealing Alice, but it remains in the same family.

· The Nullification Alice Stone is the most important one. (It also an only genetically transmittable Alice). It only appears when the threat of the six Infinity Stones being all reunited is high.

Nota Bene:

- Since both of these Alice Stones are fragments of the Soul Stone, their owners can interact with or possess any of the Infinity Stones without fearing being destroyed by them!

- Were the hosting families of these Alices to completely disappear, both Alices Stones would choose themselves another hosting family. They are also indestructible, which is only logical since they are fragments of the Soul Stone.

- The owner of the Stealing Alice Stone can remove any remaining trace of Infinity Stones on someone's body, by giving it the shape of an Alice gem. The owner should then insert them inside his own body, in order to prevent any possible accident.

- In the presence of the Nullification Alice Stone an Infinity Stone sees its functions reduced. If all the Infinity Stones were to be reunited, their owner would be dismissed of at least half its power.

It wasn't hard to guess what Mikan had first fought about this: "Fuck!" Then, she had begun to really register the meanings of all these information:

1- Alice Stones had been created by an Asgardian with the little help of the Soul Stone. (Thinking about it, it seemed now undeniable. This would explain Hotaru's ability to give a soul to her creations, Yoichi's to interact with the dead's souls thanks to his Evil Spirit Alice. The more relevant argument was, of course, Kaname's Soul Transfer Alice…).

2- She had two bloody fucking fragments of that same Infinity Stone inside her body, since she had the two Alices in question.

3- An intergalactic apocalypse was to or could happen anytime soon. (Considering her luck, she was quite sure that it was meant to happen…).

4- She was in deep shit.

Mikan sighed at the unpleasant memory.

She could feel now all of Loki attention turned on her. She simply ignored it. Mikan knew what he had done, and she was pretty sure that he would have done it even without being under the control of that mysterious being. However, Mikan didn't regret helping him. She had to do it and would have done it even without it being a necessary. She couldn't help it: after having her life taken away from her as she was controlled like a doll, wrapped around the fingers of Kuonji, she didn't have the heart to watch anyone suffering from like she did in the past. Being that intruded, that violated, it was the worst thing that she had ever experienced in her life… So yes, it didn't matter to her if Loki was an evil manipulative being or a lost soul.

Mikan finally closed her eyes and willed herself to sleep.

From his cell, Loki observed Mikan as she let her body absorb the two gems, slightly frowning. He had never heard about such things as what he had just witnessed!

This young woman had already proved herself very skillful and powerful since she her confrontation with the Avengers. In fact, for him the only fact that she had managed to create such illusions of not one, but three Leviathans was by itself relevant of her impressive capacities. Even him couldn't do such a thing, and he was the most powerful sorcerer in all of Asgard! Then, while he was a true captive, she was able to move as it pleased her inside the Helicarrier. Furthermore, she had said that she was able to sense him when he had projected himself mentally in her capsule to be able to hear her interrogatory. He still wondered how she could possibly be able to do it.

She was looking for something, this was the only reason why she would come inside the Helicarrier. It was obvious, or well it was to him at least.

Loki wondered about who this Mikan Sakura could really be. He had even sensed Asgardian Magic inside her.

'Finally,' he smirked. 'It might be time to make a new ally.'

Tony, Steve, Natasha, Bruce, Thor and a quite amused Hawkeye were patiently watching a very angry Hermione shouting at Fury, wondering what the hell had happened.

"How could do such a thing! And you dare call yourself the leader of an organization fighting for justice!" hissed the witch.

"S.H.I.E.L.D wasn't created for such an honorable purpose, Miss Granger. Its purpose is to protect the world. I don't, and can't afford to regret any decision I've made so far," he responded rather coldly.

"Then I refuse to collaborate with you or your organization any longer. You send children to do your dirty work and you believe it's a right bloody thing to do! You're a bastard!"

Fury brushed off the insult. "You have no idea what you're talking about. And I strongly suggest you don't say anything further."

Hermione refused to cow to him, lifting her chin and looking him dead in the eyes.

"I dare you to stop me. The Wizarding World will never work with S.H.I.E.L.D again." With that, Hermione Disapparated.

The tension was still palpable and no one risked speaking.

Not bothering to acknowledge anyone else in the room, Fury finally turned and left.

Once he was sure the Director was gone and definitely out of earshot, Barton piped up.

"Well that was fun."

When the Avengers arrived at Mikan's cell, they found her already waiting for them, just like she had the day before. When they entered she was humming peacefully while playing with her hair, she only nodded at them for greetings.

"So, you've totally recovered," stated Natasha.

"It seems so," she shrugged. "Where is the witch by the way?" she asked, even though she already knew what had happened in Fury's Headquarters.

It was now Natasha's turn to shrug it off.

"We are going to pursue your interrogation." she simply stated, ignoring Mikan's question. The latter lifted a curious eyebrow but remained silent.

"Well, ask."

"Why was the former Elementary School Principal of the Academy so interested in you?" started Stark.

"My mother was in the possession of the Stealing Alice, which allows one to remove an Alice from someone's body. You combine it with the Inserting Alice and so you can give the Alice to someone else. When she was still a student, he used her to collect a lot of Alices Stones. My father, who worked in the Academy as a teacher, tried to stop him. Few weeks later, he was murdered. Other teachers immediately helped my mother to escape, but before this, she inserted some Alices Stones in Kuonji's body, I don't know which ones, but they badly weakened him. When he finally made the link between me and my mother, he thought that I might be the solution to cure him…"

"Do you have that Stealing Alice?" asked Steve.

"No," she lied. "My father had the Nullification Alice, this is how Kuonji understood that I was Yuka Azumi's daughter, since it is a very rare Alice."

"Then, how does it come that you have so many Alices?" reasoned a suspicious Black Widow.

"Two years after he faked our death, he began "experimenting" on me. I honestly don't know what he did to me back then, since he put me in a coma for most of it. I was under two years before I woke up surrounded by dead men. Kuonji was one of them. There had been an explosion. I still didn't know I could have survived. However, I later occasionally discovered that my body was full of Alices Stones…" it wasn't a lie, but it wasn't the entire truth either.

"What have you done this past eight years?"

"I've busied myself dismounting organizations that threatened the security of Alices."

"Aren't you sure it wasn't just for revenge?" Natasha asked, not at all trusting Mikan's benevolent version.

"I don't kill or torture people. Making sure they spend the rest of their miserable lives in prison works for me," she replied earnestly.

As the interrogation went on, Natasha and Tony quickly took the lead, volleying questions in rapid succession. They probably hoped to trip her up, make her confess something she shouldn't. But Mikan responded patiently to every question, mostly telling them the truth, or at least, not telling complete lies.

"How can we be sure that you are not colluding with Loki?" Thor asked, approaching her.

"To be honest, I don't think that there is a way to prove it. Though we have already established my resistance to magic."

Thor, who had been fiddling with his Hammer up until now, set it on the table in front of her with a heavy thud.

"Lady Sakura, I do not believe someone must be under Loki's spell to want to help him. I know my brother and his charms."

"If it will put your mind at ease, please know that I would never endanger the lives of innocent people by associating myself with your brother. My 'attack' was an illusion and I ensured no civilians were harmed," she replied easily.

He looked at her with doubtful eyes but stayed silent.

As the interrogation resumed, Mikan's replies became distracted. Thor had left his Hammer on the table. She hadn't paid it much thought when he first set it there, just taking the move for what it was: an intimidation technique. But there was just something about it.

She finally spotted it. It was faint, but the longer she observed it, the brighter it seemed to be. Emanating from Thor's mighty Hammer was the same aura as the Soul Stone. There was a pleasant hum to it as well.

She could feel its power and she knew there was a great and fearsome magic within.

It was such a beautiful artefact.

Completely ignoring the other people in the room, Mikan reached out and grabbed the handle, running her thumb over the raised designs on the grip.

Wanting to get a better look at the engravings on the head of the Hammer, Mikan swung it up, momentarily surprised at how light it was.

"What?"

Thor's soft question was enough to break her focus from the Hammer.

Back in the moment, the god of Thunder stood closest in front of the table, staring at her with wide eyes. Peeking around him, the rest of the Avengers held similar looks of disbelief.

Barton snorted. "Well that fucking settles it."

A.N:

So here we are X)

Mikan: 1 / Loki: 0

Our little Mikan had rendered our dear Loki completely speechless! XD

I really hope that you have enjoyed their interaction...

Yes, Mikan is able to remove illness from someone else's body, her Stealing Alice and Healing Alice are really powerful... Then she surprises us again by Stealing from him the remaining of the Stones influences, which allowed Thanos to control Loki. How was she able to do it?

It just seems that Alices Stones and Infinity Stone can interacts...

Yes, in my theories, Thanos is already in the possession of the Soul Stone.

Considering the plentiful analogies between the two kinds of Stones I thought that it could be logic to make it be that way. Indeed, there are Alices with very similar properties with Infinity Stones...

As for Mikan and the Soul Stone, it just seems that GAwriter guessed right ;)

I think that Mikan can certainly be worthy of Thor's Hammer. Indeed, she is selfless, remained innocent even after all what happened in her life, she is also very loyal, brave and open-minded.

As to the special interaction between Mikan and Mjolnir, it can be explained by the fact that they both have fragments of the Soul Stone inside of them.

Mjolnir can't possibly choose who is worthy to hold him without being sentient... Having a fragment of the Soul Stone inside it would allow him to judge people souls...
