Enjoy!

Saga watched the middle of her hometown completely clear out. Everyone was inside and everything was abandoned. She hated to work on a spell that could potentially hurt others. However, she knew her army would be under her control. The spellbook was in her hand and on a certain spell. It was one to make an army, and they needed a volunteer. Ben took a deep breath and stepped to the plate. The others were disagreeing anxiously, especially Sebastian.

"This is my time to shine," he explained," I told you about the spell, I knew I would make my ultimate sacrifice. I deserve to do this."

"Thank you, Ben," Saga whispered," You will not be forgotten."

Saga suddenly stabbed the scepter through Ben's chest. They all looked away, with tears in her eyes, as the transformation began. The hole in his chest began to ice up and the man, who they once recognized, became a tall, icy being who towered over the three. She gave a smile of deep passion as she reached out to him.

"You are beautiful," she whispered," You can make everything perfect. Do you think you can make an army that will only look for my parents and not hurt others?"

The giant grunted, but as he began to work, a smile came to her face.

The group arrived just as the chaos began. The army was searching and walking around, taking over the city. Loki felt his heart drop at the sight. He didn't want to seem upset but he couldn't help but feel this way. Stephen's heart raced as he looked around, noticing everything wrong with the town. Loki thought he was just too late…

"She's been using a lot of the spells," Stephen mumbled.

"But not all of them," Wong admitted," If she begins to use magic outside of the book-"

'Then she'll have reached her full potential," Loki said softly.

"You two go look for your daughter," Rhodey insisted," Peter, take Ned with you and go with them. Just in case there's people that got caught up in this mess."

The four went off in a different direction. The group that stayed began to fight off ice soldiers that caught them. Sam threw his shield and split three of the creatures apart. The ice sounded like glass on the sidewalk. As Bucky smashed a soldier with his arm, he noticed three men coming his way. He called for Sam, who spotted the three Sebastians coming towards them.

"Not these guys again."

"Everyone, split up," Sam gave out," if there's more of us, there's more clones and he becomes weaker with each clone."

The others agreed to the plan and went off in different directions, destroying soldiers as they ran. The clones split, though they were losing their power. The original Sebastian felt deep annoyance as he sighed, following Bucky.

Wanda was manipulating the clones as she ran. They were falling at command, but they were gaining on her. Her powers and mind were working hard, but the clones were working harder. She knocked back the now three clones in her way. Though they fell over easily and she could run past, one of them grabbed her ankle.

"Some say you...you are the strongest Avenger. I can see that this is true."

"I guess you could say that," she said as she slammed her foot on his hand, running off and letting them follow her.

Sam and Bucky were doing all they could to stop these clones. They were stronger than the lot of them, but it was growing tiring simply punching them. Bucky smirked as he detached his metal arm, slapping two of the clones away from the two. Sam tossed his shield, hitting them right in the jaw. The two began to laugh.

"Vibranium for the win!"

"Man," Sam sighed as they fought off the villains," For a great-grandpa, you fight like a champ."

"A lot of prune juice and good training, young man," Bucky replied.

"Okay Boomer."

"...I'm not a Boomer."

The four were all over the place. There wasn't much conversation and all they were doing were fighting off attacking soldiers. Stephen and Loki were going to get on each other's last nerves and the boys wanted to fix that. But how?

"Where could she be?" Ned sighed.

"I don't know," Stephen replied," but we have to find her soon."

"Great to see how concerned you are for her," Loki grumbled," when we do, you won't be seeing her again."

"Sirs!" Peter spoke up," I don't think you should be arguing about this right now. I hate to get into business that isn't mine, but I think your daughter needs the two of you to be there for her. And fighting like this? It's not gonna help much-"

A sudden ambush by ice soldiers stopped his speech. Loki's blue skin appeared and red eyes lit up. He began to perform attacks that the others had never seen before. Stephen was in the midst of breaking a soldier when he heard a tiny cry. A little girl, lost, tried to back away from a soldier. She dropped her stuffed bear during her interaction.

Without thinking, Stephen ran up to save her. Loki watched as the wizard stood behind the soldier. The doctor's hands and arms stretched slightly. He moved his hands in triangular motions as quickly as he could. Then, when his arms were high in the air, he slammed his palms together twice and snapped his fingers. Fire spouted above the tips of his fingers, then, without a thought, shot flames at the soldier, who melted into a pile. Stephen grabbed the bear and knelt beside the little girl.

"Hey," he whispered and gave her back the bear," It's okay. We're gonna find your family, okay?"

Stephen picked up the little girl, who was amazed that a superhero had saved her. Just then, two women ran over to them. They were so glad that their daughter was safe, thanking the heroes for their help. Loki walked over to them, asking if they had seen their daughter. He didn't want to admit it, but he was proud of Stephen in a weird way. Loki was just angry...he couldn't hold a grudge.

"She went over to the theater."

They thanked the women, who ran to safety, and walked away. The ground began to shake by the townsquare. The group felt their hearts racing as Ben came storming in, screaming and causing a scaring chill down their spines.

"You have got to be kidding me," Rhodey grumbled.

The four, meanwhile, cautiously approached the theater. They walked in, discovering a palace of ice inside. They were taken back by the chilling appearance. Loki pulled away from the ice as his skin was tossed between his normal skin color and blue with his markings. Ned and Peter were amazed and told to stay right where they were.

"She has to be on the stage," Stephen turned to Loki," I think she's waiting for you."

"She's waiting for both of us."

Loki took Stephen's hand with a soft smile. Peter and Ned smiled as they walked away. However, in Ned's earpiece, they heard that backup was needed. So, off they ran, leaving the parents to do what they had to do. When they walked in, Saga was on stage, looking away. Her back was turned, but she heard Hadia say something. When she turned around, the whole room fell silent. Loki was breathing heavily and Stephen felt like his entire world was shaking. Loki took a step forward, which his daughter did as well.

"Hello Saga."

"I'm sorry," she announced," but the show's been cancelled for today. You have to stay indoors until-"

"No, no," Loki explained," I've come back to you, dear. Your father has too. We're finally here to meet you."

Saga stared at the two men, who were still at the other end of the theater. Watching them and feeling their presence...the girl began to grow angry.

"How dare you." she simply stated, Loki's smile fading.

"What?"

"While that man could be my father, you are not my mother. But I like a good joke, so you can leave and this man can stay."

Loki tried to reason with her. Hadia even went to speak up, but it was Stephen who had to intervene.

"How dare you talk about your mother like that?" he asked as the two walked down the middle aisle,"You know, he thought about you everyday for the last sixteen years. Each day apart from you was another day of regret for him. You were his pride and joy. He loves you."

"And you?" she scoffed," My mom was around for a year and then had to leave. You were never around."

"I know...I hate to think that I had a beautiful daughter out there, and didn't even know she existed. I regret my decision, and your mother, shouldn't have gone through this alone."

Saga stared at the man with harsh feelings. This, quite possibly, was her father. She could believe it by his eyes and the streaks in his hair. But this person? This was not her 'mother'.

"Then you both will go through this."

Saga shot ice through her scepter. Stephen blocked them and dodged and defended her attacks. Loki knew he had to get to that stage. He ran from the scene and went for the stairs. As Saga wondered how she didn't have her father's powers, Loki was met with Hadia. He was relieved to see her face until she apologized for an attack about to occur. He apologized too, disappearing as she fell down the steps. He reappeared to the side of Saga and felt his whole world stop.

"Saga," he said, reaching out to her," it's time to come home-"

She grabbed him by the wrist and held the scepter gently to his chest. Loki allowed her to, just wanting to look into her eyes. He was still trying to find his baby.

"You are not home!" she yelled," You are not my mother! How can you claim something like that? I needed my mom. I needed her everyday. I grew up just wanting to be with her again because she was taken from me. She had to leave me. And now, I've got someone up here who claims to take her place? I will not believe you."

Loki could only think of one thing to do. He pulled her into a forehead touch and Saga's vision went white. She stood in a room where lighting was limited and space was open. She looked around the room, confused as to why she was there. Where was she? As she thought, Saga heard crying. She snuck over to a side where there was a crowd of people. A pregnant woman was laying up, going through labor for what seemed like forever. The woman was blue, with markings all over and red eyes, with dark hair as well. A shorter lady, a doctor of sorts, was holding a baby of the same nature. The whole room was smiling and...there was Ben! And Sebastian! And Hadia!

"It's a girl," the doctor announced," All ten fingers, ten toes and blue with all her little markings."

"And her eyes?"

"As red as red can be."

Poli. She was right by the doctor's side. Saga held a hand to her mouth, tearing up as the woman she remembered from long ago was right before her. She was so close...The baby was cleaned off and placed in her mother's arms. Soon, their forms faded away and their skin and eyes returned to normal. The mother was thanking Dr. Foster as she cooed over her newborn daughter.

"Hey Lok," Ben said," Are you gonna give her a name, like Angel?"

"Or Frigga," Poli laughed," After your mom."

"Frigga's her middle name," the woman said," but I want to name her Saga. It means story, and I know her life shall be one." the woman slowly transformed to Loki," Saga, my sweet baby."
