'Daddy!? Daddy!? ' A young Sera ran around this big palace. She was in this long hallway. 'Daddy!?'

'Sera! What are you doing up?' A tall man spoke. 'It is past your bedtime.' Little Sera turned her head, tears staining down her face. The tall man's eyes widened and bent down to his small child. 'Beautiful, what is wrong? What has happened?'

'I got a nightmware.' She spoke in that baby like accent. The dark-haired, green-eyed man picked up the small child and held her in his arms.

'Do you want to tell me about it?' He stroked her hair. She placed her head in the crook of his neck.

'It was about mommy. Mommy took me away!' She screamed, gripping her father's neck. The man stood there, rocking his daughter back and forth, kissing the top of her head. 'Daddy, you would never let her take me right?' She whispered. 'I don't want to be away from you.'

'She would never, my love. Let's put you to bed.'

'No! I want to sleep with you!' The man gave a sigh and nodded heading the other way to his bedroom. As he placed the young child in the oversized bed, laying next to her, he gave a kiss on top of her head.

'Do you want your lullaby?' He asked and she nodded.

"Goodnight my little Angel

It is time to close your eyes

Do not let the King hear those sorrowful cries

I promise I will never leave you

And my promise will always stay true

Goodnight my small Seraphina,

the skies are no longer light blue

Even when you are terrified at night

From nightmares, noises, and screams

I swear to protect you through every scheme

And now you will always know

Where ever you may go

I will always love you so

Goodnight my little Light" He kissed the now sleeping child. 'I love you.'

Seraphina's body jolted upward. Her eyes widened after waking from this vivid dream. For a second her lungs felt as if they closed, causing her to cough. The last cough escaped her lips, ice shot out of her mouth extending all over the floor of the room. Her body too weak and mind too tired and weak to realize any of this. She blacked out into a deep dreamless sleep.

Tony and Steve walked down to Sera's chamber to wake her up. "What do you think Fury wanted to talk to Thor on private for?" Tony asked, making Steve rolled his eyes.

"Tony, it's none of our business."

"Alright, Alright, whatever. I'll just find out on my own. I'll tell you when I find out. I know you want to know." Steve gave a small laugh at Tony. He always was a nosy son of a bitch. But that was their relationship. Could Steve call Tony his best friend? No, he never uses that word. Tony knows the friendship relationship they had. And Tony wouldn't change it for anything. They were close although they fight all the time.

"Sera's room is there, cmon."

"You don't think she set us on fire for waking her up, right?"

"Are you serious, Tony?"

"Hey, it was just a question." Steve rolled his eyes again. He opened the door, pushing Tony back before he walked in and slip. There was Seraphina, sleeping on the bed but the floors all covered in ice. The walls were iced and the room had to be at least below 20 degrees.

"We need to get Thor." Steve said

"Agreed." Tony replied, walking fast pace to Fury's office

Fury and Thor were in the middle of their talk about Sera. Her little present from the heart. Thor did not want to seem like he is getting her the things she loves so she could like him. He loves his niece and he wanted her to be happy. Fury, on the other hand, was doing this so she tries not to accidentally kill them. He wanted to make better allies with Asgard and possibly the other realms. He wanted not only their knowledge but their protection.

In the middle of their conversation, Tony and Steve busted in the door.

"Thor, you need to see this." Steve heavily breathed.

"Oh Valhalla!" Thor whisper-shouted, starring at the ice. The temperature just made everyone shiver. How was Sera not freezing to death or crying for help? Were her powers protecting her? Or was she immune to the cold?

"So what do we do?" Steve butted in. Natasha rolled her eyes at him. Bruce just starred at the ice. To him, it looked incredible. To look at all the beauty she can do with that kind of power. But the damage.

"..I..umm..-" Thor stuttered.

"You have no clue, do you?" Tony said

"Whenever she had an outburst or such Loki or my mother would take care of it. " Thor spoke. "Tony, can you put the heat up in the room so the ice could melt?"

"Sure, but shouldn't we get Sera out before the room turns hotter than the sun?" This was the time Thor wished Loki was here. He knew her better than he knew himself. He knew what to do when Sera had her bursts, felt ill, cried all the time, he knew everything. She was his and he would pick her over anyone. Thor was foolish for not looking harder for his niece. He loves her like she was of his blood.

"I'll go get her," Thor spoke and steadily made his way into the room to get his niece. He did fall a couple of times, giving the Avengers several laughs. They were like his other family. "Sera.." He shook her lightly and she groaned. "Sera I need you to wake up." Her eyes slowly opened and gave a small smile at her uncle. She sat up on the bed, taking in the morning sun. Her mouth dropped as she looked at the floor.

"Oh, no...I am so sorry.I didn't mean to-"

"It is alright. You are not in trouble. Come, be careful getting down." Thor instructed. He was trying to be the good uncle he was to her when she was younger. She went down, almost slipping, grabbing Thor's hand. She felt his tight grip on her hand and she smiled. They slowly and carefully walking to the exit of the room.

"Are you alright, Seraphina?" Fury asked and she nodded.

"Sorry about the room. I didn't know how that happened..."

"It's alright." Nick said and sighed. Tony didn't seem pissed so that's okay...But what if the next time she sets the room on fire? Natasha knew what they all were thinking and it made her blood boil. She knew they were scared about what would happen tonight. She felt her heartache for the girl again.

"How about you and me go get something to eat and then we'll get ready for training?" Natasha asked and Sera nodded, walking away with her. It was obvious she felt embarrassed and stupid. Bruce felt a bang in his chest for her.

"Thor, we can't do this." Bruce blurted and everyone starred. "She feels alone and stupid and...You need to talk to your father. If she stays here we need to give her proper training! And love! We have to be a family for her."

"He's right," Steve said. "Go to your father tonight...Ask him...Help us.."

Thor nodded, knowing what he had to do.

"Did I do something really bad?" Sera asked Natasha while taking a bite out of her eggs. Natasha's face froze but then softened. She could just be tricking them but she couldn't. She didn't have the heart to say such things.

"No..it isn't your fault. It's okay Sera." Natasha said with a warm smile and Sera starred at her. She felt a connection to her.

"Natasha?"

"Yeah? "

"Do you know who my real mother is?" Sera asked with an ache in her heart Natasha felt tears swell in her eyes.

"Your mother has passed on...I am sorry Sera..I.." She stopped talking once seeing the young teenager start to cry. "Hey, don't cry sweetheart. You have your uncle, grandparents, and the Avengers."

"It's not that I am ungrateful." She wiped her eyes. "But my whole life I have never had a mother to love me. My adoptive mother refused to call me any nice names, buy me things, and such since I was five. She didn't like it when I called her mother. She didn't like it when I spoke at all. I just wanted a mother as everyone had and I..I thought.." She stuttered, holding back the tears.

"Seraphina..I...I never had parents. I was found and taken in...I did always want a mother but never had one.."

"I'm sorry."

"The minute I saw you, I felt a connection. Sera, I will always be here and protect you."

"Because you have to."

"No, because I want to. I see that you and I are alike. "

"Thank you, Nat." Sera smiled at her, which she returned. They continued talking, eating, and laughing.

Sera walked into a room covered in metal. She was wearing an outfit very similar to Natasha's uniform. Although it was easy to move in and rather nice looking, (Meaning it emphasized Sera's body in ways she wanted it to) it was skin tight. Sera felt her nerves go crazy and started to breathe heavily. Don't be stupid. Do your best. The Avengers were watching her through an invincible glass outside the room. Thor wished they went easier on her but they needed to know her potential. He needed to see her strength. "Ok Sera, things will come after you and you must defend yourself. Simple." Nick said trying to be nice and easy. "Do not hesitate."

"Defend myself with what?" Sera shouted, wide eyed.

"Your powers."

"What if they don't work?!"

"Then we stop the simulation." She nodded. "Okay, get ready. 3...2...1..GO!" Sera's heart began to race as things popped out of the ground and from the walls. She froze. The things began to shoot at her, in some sort of pattern. At first, Sera was rusty. She tried hitting some and ducked at others. Then her mind was put to the test, Sera started to hit them with their own beams or the energy she created. The ones she missed exploded. Sera felt the power surge through her. She grew stronger. The wind started to pick up, things were being shot in all directions, knives started to be thrown, it was clear havoc. Whenever flames came it was iced or watered and vice versa. Then the simulation started to pick up. Things began moving too fast, too hard. The beam formation changed and it started to hit her. The knife-throwing began to pick up and she dropped to the ground.

"Stop it," Thor commanded Nick. He didn't want her harmed.

Wait." Natasha spoke.

Sera's power began to overload her mind. She started to hyperventilate. Her mind was felt like an overcharged computer. She gave out a scream, putting her hands on her head. She felt like she was dying. A knife just brushed her skin and she let out another scream.

"STOP IT NOW!" Thor commanded and Nick listened. Everything stopped immediately. Thor rushed in and bent down to his niece. "PhiPhi, are you alright!? Seraphina what happened!?"

"My head!" She sobbed, digging her head into her uncle's chest. "So much power, I couldn't control it! Thor, it was too much."
