"I remember her," Thor spoke and the avengers looked at him. "She would've been turning seven if her mother didn't take her."
"How is that possible if she was two years old when she was given to her adoptive parents?" Natasha asked
"Asgardians aging is very different from humans. She would be a two year old in your eyes but she has been on the Asgardian realm for seven..It is different. But would not be seven here. It is not like human and Asgardian years are 5 years apart. We are thousands so she was with us for a couple hundred years...Do you understand?" Thor explained and Natasha slowly nodded.
"What was she like?" Steve questioned. "How was she even..?"
"When Seraphina was born as a premature...It was said that no one has ever seen anything like it. Loki was the happiest man alive...Sera would always choose him over everyone. When she knew he was in the room she would cry for him...Unless she was occupied. When she was younger she uses to pronounce my name as uncle Or.." Thor chuckled at the memory. "She was the best thing that ever happened to Loki."
"Does she have any of his characteristics?" Iron man questioned. He had to admit that he was slightly annoyed. God only knows what this girl will do, let alone be like. She could bring back aliens, hate them or she could kill them. It was a chance that Thor would take in a heartbeat and Tony would take that chance for Thor.
"I have not seen nor talked to her since she was seven, or two, years old. I am not aware of who she will be. I still believe she is of innocence."
"What's with her name? Is it Asgardian?" Natasha questioned. Natasha had admitted to herself that she was actually quite interested in Loki's daughter. Although he is the weaver of lies, he must have been different from her.
"No, it is not. Her mother had an unusual love for Midgard and its life, names, culture, and more so. She fell in love with the name Seraphina. Mainly because it meant fiery ones and has to do with being an Angel.." His smile only let his face thinking of her mother but then returned with his next sentence."I use to always call her PhiPhi to get her mad. Loki didn't really approve of the Midgardian name. She named the child without consulting Loki. He grew angry but he let it go. He had to. "
"Was she an angry child?"
"No, she was basically one of that happiest I have ever met." Nick Fury felt a small ache in his heart for the memories Thor shared with Sera. Thor was a good man, who lost more than he should've. This child might cause the worse for Thor and Fury doesn't think he is ready for that.
"Would you like to see her?" Nick asked Thor, praying he wouldn't regret it. Thor's eyes widened and the smile that was slapped across his face grew. Tears blinked in his eyes. For a moment, Thor felt weak but it was overwashed by the happiness he felt for seeing his PhiPhi. T
"Thank you, Nick," Thor whispered, as they headed off into S.H.I.E.L.D. to meet this innocent and pure creature.
Seraphina's life has not been a pleasant one, she knew that. As of right now, she was in a room full of weird mirrors, taken by the government. At least she wasn't drugged, she would think to try and cheer herself up. Her bruises were very noticeable but her cuts were hidden by her sleeves. She knew they could see her but she let the tears fall down her face anyway. Her life has turned into an on-going waste of time- whether it was being drugged to death, beaten to death, causing her own death, or just being used and pushed. She wanted her Gus. But she hasn't heard of him. Her life was shit.
"That's her." Nick fury directed the Avengers. She couldn't hear or see them. Thor stared at her as if she was the most beautiful girl he has ever laid eyes on, besides Jane. Her thick black, and slightly greasy, hair feel past her shoulders, almost reaching the tips of her chest. Even through her crying, you can see her bright green eyes. She was very small, they knew since she was so premature that she would grow to be very small and fragile. She couldn't be anything over 5'0. Thor just wanted to run in and hug her. He never wanted to let her go. He never wanted her to leave his sight again.
He loves her.
When the rest of the Avengers laid eyes on her they saw, with no doubt, how much she actually took after her father. She had high cheekbones, her lips were small but a beautiful shape. She had a very slight tan but she did look very white in the face. She had sort of olive skin, like many Asgardian women. You can tell she was scared and nervous. Her black hair stuck out as the waves flowed and moved as she did. Her eyes stood out even more. Her bright green eyes were exactly like Loki's. There was no doubt that she was his.
"I'm going to go in there." Nick Fury said. "I will ask her a couple of questions and then we move on from there, okay?"
"Make sure she is okay?" Thor asked and Nick nodded as he walked in.
Seraphina's head shot up and looked slightly scared of the one eyepatched man.
"I got you tissues." Fury half smiled and handed it to her. She gave a small smile and took the tissue box.
"Thank you." She whispered. She was trying to stay strong. It was very obvious that she was holding it back. Every move she made, made Thor want to just run in and grab her, and tell her that he is sorry for not searching hard enough. Tell her he loves her. Prove he loves her. Take her back to Asgard and show his mother. She would be so happy. He actually wanted to tell Loki. "Am I in trouble? Are you going to hurt me?" She asked hesitantly.
"Of course not." Nick chuckled. "I just want to talk to you. We are here to ask you a couple of questions."
"Okay.."
"First, do I call you Seraphina?" Trying to see if she still went with the description Thor spoke of.
"Call me Sera."
"Okay Sera, I am Nick Fury. How long have you been in that Asylum?"
"Umm...A couple of months?" She thought out loud. "I haven't really been keeping track."
"Did they hurt you there?" He asked and she nodded. You can see tears brink her beautiful green eyes. "They drugged you?"
She gathered the courage to speak. "Yes."
"I see from all your bruises..." He said and she looked down. "What if I can tell you that you are free?"
"I wouldn't believe it for a minute." She spoke wisely, wiping her eyes. "Freedom is life's greatest lie." They all saw the Loki in her. Ironically, she even repeated his words. Nick didn't know what to say. "What do you plan on doing with me?"
"I have an offer for you."
"What kind of offer?"
"Have you heard of the Avengers?"
"Eh, a little...Some hero group. I heard about them on T.V."
"How would you like to be trained by them, using your powers for good?" He spoke.
"The catch?"
"No catch."
"Bullshit, what is the catch? What do you want from me?" She slightly demanded, sounder stronger than she really was. The Avengers starred intently, surprised at her reaction.
"Why must there be a catch?" He asked, raising his eyebrow. This caused Sera to sigh and move a piece of hair behind her ear.
"I have been in there for months. No hope for help. No hope for a future. What makes you think that I would believe you? "
"There is a catch. You will not go against us. You will only use your powers for good...This is partially a favor for someone."
"Why would I use my powers for anything else?" She asked
"We have had a couple of enemies and we don't need more." Fury didn't mean to come out as harsh as he did but he couldn't help it. He wasn't good with teenagers. He could've barely handled himself when he was her age. Sera looked at the mirror and sighed.
"Will I ever be locked up again?" For that moment Bruce felt a connection with her unlike any other. She was treated like a monster. Like a monster Bruce thought he personally was. He wanted her to know that she was nowhere near the word monster.
"Of course not.." He spoke, "And you can meet your family.."
"I do not wish to see or even speak to my adoptive family ever again."
"No, your blood family. Do you remember them?"
"My..My...What? .. No...I don't.." She spoke, sounding like she was fighting with herself. "..They are here?"
"They have been searching for you for a long time, Seraphina." A smile came to her face which melted the heart of the watchers.
"They care?" Her voice cracked.
"Of course. You sure you don't remember them?"
"..Very little... Sometimes I have small dreams but that's it."
"Seraphina, will you like to have the life you once had?"
"No, I want a new one."
"Good...Will you come with me? We can train you. We can bring you back home if it is what your heart desires."He spoke and smiled.
"Why the sudden kindness?"
"We owe your uncle, a close friend of ours, a debt. He loves you and it'd be a gift to him to have found you. To have you home. And that is what we plan on doing. So what do you say? Will you train with us? Join us?"
Sera stayed quiet for a bit, scaring everyone that was watching her. She then looked into Fury's brown eyes and smiled.
"Yes."
