It's been a little over two weeks that Thor has been gone, some people would joke saying it'd be a year before he returns. Sera's heart would break when they would say that. Although she does love hanging and being with the Avengers and the Agents, she was related to Thor. He was her link to herself and she felt so many feelings and memories around him. Whenever she was around him, she felt like she found something missing. Something dead for a very long time.

'"Come get up, rise and shine!" She heard Steve yell, opening her curtains. Steve would come to visit her in the morning, he would volunteer to wake her up. He, although was the daughter of Loki, liked her. She was shy, content, and a sweet girl to Roggers. But he really did see the Loki in her. When she showed anger or annoyance her green eyes would get darker like Loki's when he is mad. She truly did look like him, no doubt. She would have Loki's attitude and short patience at times. She inherits his silver tongue and smart thinking. Sera would use her deceiving and silver tongue side when they trained or tried to get her powers in use.

"I don't want to!" Sera groaned, shoving the pillow over her head.

"Too bad, you have to."

"I do have to. I'm free...I am American!"

"You really have been hanging around me too much. " He laughed. "Come on, kid."

"I'm not a kid."

"Are you in your nineties?"

"No."

"Then you're a kid."

"Steve, that makes no sense."

"Yes it does, now get up." Sera finally listened and got out of bed, following the captain into the kitchen, the smell of food entered their nose. Sera sat next to him and Pepper, who motherly told her the foods and what was in them and such. Once during the week Sera got very sick and couldn't eat anything they gave her, not even swallow pills. They thought perhaps it was her Asgardian stomach, but Thor ate fine so they had no clue why she randomly has gotten sick. Ever since then Natasha and Pepper have been keeping track, making sure she ate correctly and if she has thrown up. Sometimes Sera was colder than normal and other times she was hotter than normal. Sera brushed it off, taking a bite out of the bacon.

"Hey guys, do you want shawarma for lunch?" Tony asked. Sera's stomach made a loud turn and she jumped from the table. She felt the food go right back up and she bolted for the bathroom.

"I got it," Natasha said, slowly walking after her.

"Ah Thor! Why aren't you on Earth yet?" Loki spoke with a small smile on his lips. Although he was stuck in a boring cage, he will soon be reunited with the one person that makes him truly smile. Odin and Frigga began to think she be the one to save him from his evil ways. He only wanted her acceptance, her love, and her back in his life. He would do anything, be anything for her.

"I must tell you something before I go." Thor bravely spoke. Thor knew Loki barely had power in the cell but he was still terrified.

"Well, let's not take centuries to say it, spit it out."

"I...thought I should inform you about Sera's past."

"..Okay.." Confusion in Loki's voice.

"Your wife-"

"Ex-wife."

"Your ex-wife, her mother, Embla, put her in a horrible family Loki.." Thor's voice suddenly stopped. He didn't know how to word it, or even how to say it.

"Thor, what happened?" Loki nervously asked. Thor's mouth stayed open, with no words coming out for quite some time. "ANSWER ME!"

"As a child, she was resented. Frigga thinks the parents were forced into keeping her. Her mother refused to show affection or even let the child call her mother. Eventually, her father started to beat her incredibly and her mother started to lock her in her room for days to weeks with no to barely any food. Thus the school started and she was bullied constantly. Sera was bullied because her older adoptive sister thought it was amusing. At a very young age, she has started to self-harm, crying uncontrollably, getting sick, and several suicidal attempts. " Thor said. Loki's face covered in tears. 'This is all of my fault. If I have looked harder. I had tried better-' "After awhile her powers formed and her parents locked her up. She was beaten, drugged constantly, and barely fed there but your little girl held on. She's strong like her father."

"H-ho-ow do you possess this knowledge?" Loki whispered, staring down.

"Do you remember Lady Ragna?"

"The fortune-teller?"

"Yes." Thor said "Well while she told Odin it was her destiny to go to Earth that is when she had to take and help Sera through this. Her son and Sera got very close because they are the same in age. She helped Sera, paid for clothes, and help her through the problems. Sera and her son would go out, sneak out-"

"Are they in a courtship?"

"I am not certain...Lady Ragna said something about the information that you would find out personally."

"Does she have bruises? Scars?"

"Yes." Thor watched Loki's tears fall "Do not worry brother. She is safe now. She will be home soon."

"This is all my fault."

"No, it is not, Loki," Thor spoke. "There is no way we could've seen her. Nothing we could've done. Lady Ragna knew what she was doing-"

"AND LET HER GET BEATEN? DRUGGED? KILLED?" Anger got the best of him.

"Lady Ragna said that that past was the best one for her. Others she wouldn't be able to come back to." Loki stayed quiet, rethinking of the words spoken. "She will be safe brother." Thor then exited the building, leaving Loki alone in his thoughts.

"Hey Sera, where are you going?" Steve called, watching her about to leave the front door. Sera had skipped lunch, afraid of another puking incident.

"A walk." She lied

"I'll come with you?"

"No, please I want to be alone. I need to think about some things over.." Steve grew suspicious but then nodded, letting her walk out of the Tower. Steve watched her turn the corner and then slowly started to follow her. Sera walked into a store and bought an overly large bag. Probably with the money Tony gave her, he likes to spoil the young girl. Sera then walked in front of an unknown house to Steve. But to Sera, it was probably the worst place she has ever been. Her old home, or can she even call it that? More like the prison cell. She began to look in the driveway to see if anyone was home. Once she realized the house was empty, Sera lifted a rock, taking out the key hidden in it and unlocked the door. Steve stood outside, just watching.

Sera looked around the house, nothing really has changed. She headed up the stairs to her bedroom. The room was colored in forest green, with black paint designs. Pictures, memories, and sadness filled the room. She pushed her bed, taking out the scrapbooks, reading books, and put them in her bag. She took out her jewelry box, finding the glowing green gem with a gold-like chain. The necklace she was born with, the one that never stopped glowing. She never knew what it was made of, it wasn't gold nor anything she has ever seen or felt before. Her adoptive parents wanted to sell it but she refused and hid it from them. Sera put in on, making it glow brighter. She shoved some of her clothes, undergarments, and memorable things in her bag and headed downstairs.

Steve starred at the black BMW going up into the driveway. 'Oh shit.' Steve thought, praying Sera would be smart and get out of the house. Once Steve saw the man he froze. That was the man from the file, her adoptive father, the man was probably in his late 40's. His light brown hair was gelled back and he had light brown eyes to match. The man was probably about 5'8, maybe about 180 or 190 pounds. The man gave a confident walk, you can practically see the muscles built on the man.

Mark walked up the steps with a plain look on his face. Once the man turned the knob, seeing it was unlocked, Steve knew this wasn't going to end very well.

"You got some nerve to come back here." She heard a voice that was but a ghost to her. Oh her dear father. Sera gripped tighter on the tote bag that was wrapped around her. "But then again, I knew you were coming back. "

"I just needed to get some things." She whispered, watching him pull out a gun. "If I remember correctly, you were the ones who sent me away to a hellhole, not the other way around." He laughed. "How'd you know I'd be back here?"

"Sera, believe me when I tell you, you have none of your mother's good qualities. Maybe some of her bad."

"You said you never knew her," Sera stated, trying her best to be the emotionless girl she trained herself to be.

"And then what? Tell my wife that I cheated her for over a year?" He laughed. "Your mother and I were foolishly in love. She was already married to your father and I was already married to well...Claire. You truly do look like your dad, that's for sure. Your mother grew to hate you and your father, as I grew to hate my wife. Then one day she shows up with you on the doorstep. Demanding I kill you. That it was meant to be."

"She obviously was ill, especially to be having an affair with you." He gave her a strong glare but continued to talk.

"She told me I had a choice. She wanted me to choose for our love. She told me she was giving up her life. She made me choose between killing you on the doorstep, as a baby, or killing you now. For your second return. "

"Why'd she give up her life?" Sera tried to distract the crazed man standing before her. She paced, making him pace.

"Do you think I know? I guess she hated having you as a daughter. Damn you would not stop screaming and crying for your father-."

"Mommy, where are we going?" A young Sera asked for about the fifth time, making the bitter mother groan. Embla was a known sorceress throughout the nine realms besides Earth. Everyone feared her so no one would question her whereabouts or why she brought the pathetic use of a daughter with her.

"Do you ever shut up?" The mother snapped, pushing her blonde hair out of her face. "Good heavens, how does your father even deal with you?"

"Mommy I'm scared. I want daddy." Sera tugged on her dress.

"You'll see him soon." The mother lied.

"It's late and dark, Mommy. When are we going home?"

"Soon."

"I love you." But the mother didn't respond. She never did. Sera headed up to an unknown house, opened by a man. Her mother kissed the man on the lips and smiled at him. "Mommy?"

"SHUTUP!" The mother screamed and turned back to the man. "This is your option. I love you." She walked closer to Sera whispering unknown words, magic glow shown through her fingers and up to Sera's head. Once it touched her it made Sera fall unconscious. It made her forget. That was the last time Sera has ever seen or heard from her mother. Her mother hated her. She was nothing to her.

"You're evil." She spat. "Why even keep me?"

"Because my wife saw you on the doorstep and took you in. What was I supposed to do? You had no memory and my wife was sympathetic. " He laughed "Now I'm not going to make the same mistake again." He put the gun off safety and pointed it. Her powers were lost by her fear. She knew she was going to die today. She watched him shoot and closed her eyes. But nothing came. She opened to see Steve covering her with his shield. He handed her the shield and punched Mark until he was unconscious.

"Are you alright?" He asked, going back to her.

"I...I didn't know. I just...Thank you."

"Are you hurt?" He asked and she shook her head. "Come on, let's get you back home. " They walked out, in the pouring rain. It's not like they cared. Sera had her arms wrapped around herself and tears in her eyes. Steve heard her crying and just kept his arm around her. "Do you want me to carry your bag?"

"It's okay." She whispered, looking down.

"Mommy! Mommy! Look daddy taught me how to pway the piano!"

"Seraphina can you please just go bother Thor? I have a business to attend to."

"Where are you going?" Sera asked, ignoring her mother's comment.

"Somewhere off Asgard."

"CAN I COME PLEASEEEE! I love Vanaheim!" She skipped alongside her mother. Sera's dream was to get close to her mother as all other Asgardian girls did.

"Leave Sera, you are not wanted."

"But mommy-"

"DO NOT CALL ME THAT!" The mother yelled, slamming the child into the wall, and repeatedly hitting her. The child's screams were heard throughout the castle. Two men ran to them, taking the mother off of her. She looked up to see Thor next to another man. She couldn't see or remember the face, just the green like armor.

"What in all of Asgard is going on here!?" Thor yelled.

"She...She.." Sera cried. "She was hurting me."

"She called me mommy and I don't like that."

"So you decided to beat her!?" That voice...She couldn't recognize it. She didn't know who it was but she felt so close. The mother glared and used her magic to teleport off an unknown area. "My love, are you alright?" Sera jumped into his arms and cried. "It's alright, my lullaby, I am right here."

"Don't let her hurt me again!"

"I won't sweetheart."

"Do you want to eat something?" Steve asked as they entered the tower, knocking Sera out of her memory.

"No-"

"You haven't eaten all day."

"I'm just going to puke it anyway." She said, about to leave. "Steve?"

"Yeah?"

"Thank you."

"Of course." He said and she walked and hugged him tightly. "Don't do those things often, please. One day if I'm not there you can be in danger."

"I will be smarter." They laughed and she headed upstairs, flopping on her bed and crying herself to sleep.
