Stephen found Loki sitting in one of the meeting rooms. He was watching the footage again, eyes on the young girl. He let a few tears escape down his cheeks as he watched her. He felt like he was still failing her, even if he was trying to find her now. He was losing hope that he would ever see her again. Stephen sighed and took a seat across from the god. Loki saw him but didn't say anything. He was angry with Stephen, but he had just as much anger for himself too. After they watched the footage once, the wizard spoke up.

"Is that her?" he asked.

"It is."

"She's beautiful...look, I need to apologize for everything. When we met, I was an arrogant, self obsessed douchebag. I didn't even think about the consequences of my actions or what we were doing. And I'm not saying she's a consequence. I have done horrible things in my life. I've treated people unfairly, and thought I was high and mighty, when I was just a clueless fool. But when I saw you in that bar, I felt love. I just didn't act the way I should've. You didn't deserve my torment and you certainly didn't deserve to be in the situation you were stuck in."

Loki watched as the doctor studied the video. The trickster knew he was somewhat to blame, so he took a deep breath and put his hand on Stephen's. He jolted slightly as they made eye contact.

"When I left," he admitted," I put a spell on you. I wanted you to forget that I ever came to you and told you that I was pregnant. And, if we were to meet again, that the spell would break and everything would come back. But it didn't and I'm sorry...but I know that you deserve to be forgiven."

"Thank you…Why were you on Earth, when we met?"

"I ran away from Asgard. My father was getting to me, and his love for Thor-at the time, I felt jealous. Alone when I truly wasn't. I disguised myself as Lydia and hid here. I was on the streets for two weeks without anything. I then met Polikwatiwa- a sweet woman with the most beautiful wings. She knew I was more than a woman- actually, the prisoner did. Super senses, Andie provoked memories and Sebastian had the strength of thousands, and the ability to duplicate. Anyway, they were in the care of a woman they called Dr. Foster. She was, still might be, tough, protective, but she was one hel of a genius. She was probably smarter than you."

Stephen nodded and looked back at the footage. He had so many questions in such a short time frame. He looked back at the trickster who was nervously studying her picture. They were both about to cry now.

"What's my daughter's name?"

"Saga," Loki said," It means Story. I thought it was beautiful and her entire life is going to be a story. I hated to leave her...she was only a year old. Thor came back to find me and I was so afraid that Odin might hurt my baby. I could only do what I thought was best."

Stephen agreed it was best and that Loki was only doing what they could. As they watched the screen, they knew they had to work together to save their daughter. They would protect her any way they could. And, in that moment, the two finally had peace.

Hadia and Sebastian were still reluctant to let Saga join them. She was setting up the camera for their return, assuming all went well. She was going to make her statement to the world and then they'd begin their search. The girl's thin, blue hands dusted off the camera as she looked over her notes. She was going to make the world look for her parents, no matter what.

"Are you ready to go?" Hadia asked softly.

"Yeah...we're not gonna hurt anyone, right?"

"Of course not!" Sebastian butted in,"We're only gonna put the video out there and look for your parents. But if anyone hurts us, we have to defend ourselves."

Saga nodded and looked back at the camera. The crew gathered their belongings and went towards their underground road. They hopped into the van and drove off, with the girl nervously clutching her staff. She had a lot resting on rescuing Ben.

The crew was spread around the longue area just before the break of dawn. Wanda was slumped on the couch, fast asleep. On the other side, Peter was curled up in a ball, Ned snoring in the middle. Rhodey was playing UNO with Bucky and Sam, though they were growing frustrated with each other. Loki studied Scott, who was snoring on the floor. The trickster had his chin in the palm of his hand, then a mischievous thought in his mind. He smiled as he conjured up a marker. Stephen glanced over, knowing what he was doing. Stephen stopped Loki, suggesting a permanent marker.

"Good idea," he said as he conjured another marker," Thank you, Stephen."

"I'm glad to see you two getting along," Rhodey mentioned," but don't put something on Scott's face."

"I'm just learning to get along with everyone," he shrugged," Some of you aren't as bad as I thought you would be. I mean-"

The alarm system went off, waking up everybody. Rhodey found that people were trying to break into the house. In fear, he sent Loki, Ned and Peter to check on Ben. Stephen knew it was their daughter and that having Loki go off with the kids was not the best idea. Loki nodded then looked back to Stephen before they went to fight. His pleading look begged their daughter's safety. Stephen nodded and ran off to stop them from getting in.

They got to the cell. Ben was patiently waiting, smiling up at Loki. The trickster swallowed the lump in his throat and turned to the boys. Peter and Ned were busy keeping an eye out. Loki looked over at the prisoner and he had a lot on his mind. The trickster knew that Ben was his one ticket back to his baby.

"I'm sorry to do this to you, boys."

Loki opened the cell and threw the boys in. Ben was dragged out and the two boys had their feet frozen to the ground. Ben was glad to see that Loki had his priorities straight. Meanwhile, Saga was inside the building, slipping past the group that was about to fight outside. Sebastian split into clones, in which one of them went to hit Rhodey in the grabbed the clone and punched him with his metal arm,causing him to stumble backward. Sam went right to Bucky's side and fought off another clone. Another clone climbed onto Sam's back, but Scott, now shrunken, was now helping. He threw the clone at the clone attacking BUCKY and soon morphed into one. Hadia grabbed Rhodey, who pushed her back immediately. Stephen's head jerked as he put a clone in a time portal. But then he jerked his head to the building, being drawn by something going on. Quickly, he fled the scene and ran in.

"What's the occasion?" Ben asked his gear was taken off.

"My daughter is going to meet her parents. I'm afraid to do it alone and I cannot face her...will you take me to her?"

"Of course," Ben smirked.

Loki went to walk away, but Stephen was standing there. Tensions rose and there was a force building up. Ben stood there, completely unnoticed.

"Loki, he isn't going to take you to meet Saga. I will, I promise you. We can do it together."

"I spent too long waiting for her to come back to me," Loki spoke harshly and let out a sigh," Ben, let's-"

But Ben was now gone. In fact, he'd run off to join his group again. He ran into Saga, who gave him a smile.

"You escaped!" She said," come on, we're gonna go home and get ready."

"Sounds like a plan," he replied.

As they agreed to the plan, Stephen and Loki came out of the room. Saga quickly slammed her staff on the ground, causing a sheet of ice to cover the floor behind her. As Loki was undoing her deeds, the two ran outside and to the others, who were continuing to battle. They ran towards the nearby patch of woods, where their car was waiting underground. The heroes lost the four and Stephen and Loki ran outside just as the battle had stopped.

"Why did our prisoner escape?" Rhodey asked.

"You know who you can ask about that?" Stephe asked," Loki. He froze Peter and Ned, let him escape and tried to stop me. You know,after you and I talked, I thought you'd changed. I thought all of your tricks and powers were behind you, and if they weren't, at least they'd be used for good. But now I know that you can't change. You're evil and bitter. If you cared about our daughter, you'd-"

Loki grew angry and slapped the wizard across the mouth. He stumbled into the grass and looked up, feeling the sting on his cheek. The others watched, in shock, as the trickster stood over the wizard.

"I did care and I still do!" he yelled, "I loved her the minute I found out about her. Each day was spent with her because she is, and always had her little finger wrapped around my finger. She was my world for almost two years. Where were you? Were you too busy flirting with nurses and getting another woman pregnant? I hope Elizabeth never finds out that you're her father and I hope she never has to deal with people putting her down and making her feel like she's worth nothing!"

"That's their kid?" Scott asked.

"How did that happen?" Bucky asked.

"Loki's a shapeshifter," Sam and Rhodey said at the same time.

"After all of this is over, I never want to see you again."

Loki went back inside to unfreeze the kids. They were very understanding and the tension in the house was growing. Meanwhile, back at the house, the four were getting ready for the video. Saga was growing nervous as she stood in front of the camera, waiting for the recording to begin. Ben was setting it up so that every big screen in the world could see what was about to be presented.

"There!" he yawned," All fixed. We're ready whenever you are."

"Just a second," she begged, taking one more look at the markings on her hands before nodding.

"We go out in five...four...three...two…"

"...and I can do a database search for them."

Ned was insistent that he help the team find what they were looking for. Loki and Stephen were still ignoring each other, but, for the sake of their kid, they had to find her. Just then, the television turned on. The entire group looked up as they saw Saga in front of the screen. Loki's hand fled to his mouth as he realized that his daughter was up there. And it wasn't the way he expected to see her.

"My name is Saga," she declared," I am someone who barely knows themselves. Just days ago, I discovered I was more than I had anticipated to be. I am the daughter of two people who share powers that I couldn't even imagine having. I have been working towards being just like them-but I have no idea as to who they are. That's why I'm looking for them. I don't plan on hurting anyone. All I ask is for them to be with me. I'll do anything to get them by my side. I would even take this world for my own."

Loki was quivering at the sight of his child. Taking over the world to find them. He was proud, but mostly, he was in pain. Stephen stayed silent as he looked over, fearing what she was saying.

"To others, I would stay inside. It's about to be real cold."

Ned knew he had to be quick. It was a matter of ten to fifteen minutes before anything could come up. And his entire face lit up.

"Scranton." Ned said," she's in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Their equipment traces back to there!"

"Guy in the chair," he and Peter said as they fist bumped.

"Grab your Office gear and let's go!"

Loki looked away as the crew gathered their gear. Stephen wanted to say something but he just kept quiet. He simply went to get Wong in the hopes that he would help on this daring mission.
