A.N Hey everyone I've been writing so much this weekend I just had to post another chapter early to get it out. Thank you for the great reviews hope you enjoy!
Later,
When we landed at the helicarrier I walked inside to have Phil wrap his arms around me. I smiled and hugged him back.
"Good to see you too Phil" I said
"Thank god you're ok"
"I'm fine Phil"
"Follow me, I'll show you your room and you can change."
"Thanks"
As we walked away I felt eyes on me, I turned around to see Loki staring at me. When our eyes met he smiled at me and I felt chills run down my spine. Guards came and escorted him down the hall out of sight. I continued walking acting like nothing happened but I couldn't brush him off completely. Phil gave me a key card for my room and showed me inside, it was a small room with a twin bed and a small bathroom.
"There's some clothes in the shelf, the Avengers will be meeting on the bridge in ten minutes." Phil said
"Thanks Phil, I'm feeling really tired" I tossed my purse onto the bed "I'll take a shower and meet everyone at the bridge."
"Ok" He walked to the door and was about to walk out but stopped "oh Kida"
"Yeah?"
"When were you going to tell me you're dating Captain America?"
"I didn't know until tonight," I said smiling "he owes me another milkshake"
Phil laughed and walked out, I took a quick warm shower that helped me relax. When I got out I put on a short-sleeved black shield shirt, black jeans, and black boots. I brushed my wet hair and walked out to the bridge. There I saw Thor standing in front of the table.
"Hey hammer time," I said smiling, he turned around and smiled
"Kida it's so good to see you my friend" He picked me up in a hug, my feet barely touched the ground
"Good to see you too Thor" I said "but my feet can't touch the ground"
"That means you haven't grown enough," He laughed as he wrapped his arm around my neck and drove his fist into my hair
"Hey watch the hair," I said and he let go laughing and I couldn't help but smile back
I walked around the table and saw a man in a purple buttoned up shirt and tan pants. He had brown hair and eyes and glasses.
"I don't believe we've met" I said walking up to him and held my hand out "I'm Kida Stark"
"Dr. Bruce Banner" He said shaking my hand "I didn't expect SHIELD to recruit someone so young to help"
"Well someone has to make sure my dad doesn't blow something up." I said smiling and he laughed
I sat down next to Steve who was still in his Captain America uniform.
"Do I still owe you that milkshake?" He asked with a smirk
"Still yes"
"Well how about coffee?" He asked "You look tired"
"Flying a lot does that to me" The doors opened and my dad walked in
"No offense point break you got a big swing" My dad tapped Thor's arm and Thor just looked at him confused
"Does he act like this a lot?" Steve asked leaning to me
"That man is playing Galaga" My dad shouted out pointing to an agent "thought we wouldn't notice it but we did."
"This is normal for him" I whispered to Steve
"When did you become an expert in astrophysics?" One agent said
"Last night" He replied "Erik's notes, am I the only one who did the reading?"
I looked up and saw Natasha sit down across from Steve and me, I looked down at my hand and my mind went back to that moment. When my power was gone and I couldn't do anything to save that man.
"I don't think we should be focusing on Loki" Bruce said "that guy's brain is a bag full of cats, you can smell the crazy on him."
"Have care for how you speak, Loki is beyond reason but he is of Asgard." Thor said "And he is my brother"
"He killed eighty people in two days" Natasha replied
"He's adopted"
"Mr. Stark" I looked past Steve to see Fury walk in "Dr. Banner is only here to find the cube, I was hoping you would work with him."
"I'd like to know how Loki is using the cube, that spear acts a lot like a HYDRA weapon." Steve said
"And I'd also would like to know how Loki was able to turn two of my sharpest men into his own personal flying monkeys."
"Monkeys" Thor said, "I do no understand"
"I do" Steve blurted out I couldn't help but smile at him "I understood that reference"
"Shall we play doctor?" My dad walked up behind me and kissed the top of my head "I'll be in the labs if you need me."
"Ok dad" When he left I stood up "I'm going to go get some food"
"May I join you?" Thor asked
"Sure let's go"
We walked downstairs to the cafeteria, I got a salad and a burger while Thor got one of everything. I pushed the leaves of my salad around with my fork; I couldn't get my mind off of what happened. I looked down at my hand and the gold light glowed normally before disappearing. I stirred the water in my cup and stopped.
"What is troubling you?" Thor asked
"Nothing"
"I can tell when you're lying Kida" He said, "what's wrong?"
"When I was at Stuttgart, before Loki killed the host, I reached my hand up to stop him but-" I looked down from him and looked at my hands "my powers where gone, it's like I couldn't do anything to save him."
"Kida" Thor reached over the table and grabbed my hand, "the man's death wasn't your fault, you cannot blame yourself for that."
"There's something else too Thor" I pushed my tray away from me "my dad, Tony Stark, doesn't know I'm Asgardian."
"You didn't tell him"
"I couldn't, I don't want you to tell him please Thor I'm begging you." I said
"Because you are my friend, I will keep your secret." Thor said "But I must confess something to you"
"What is it?"
"My father, Odin has ordered me to bring you to Asgard, along with Loki."
"What? He's ordering me"
"He's the All-Father Kida, you cannot refuse his orders." Thor said, "I know this is sudden but it will be-"
"I'm going to go to my room" I said interrupting him "goodnight Thor"
"Kida I'm sorry" He said "let me walk you to your room"
"No, no thanks I just want to be alone"
I walked upstairs to my room and slammed the door shut; I slid down the back of the door and covered my mouth with my hands. I closed my eyes when I sat on the ground; Thor is going to make me leave Earth. My home to another world out of myth, I was speechless. How could I leave Pepper or my dad for, god knows how long. I crawled into the bed and tossed my purse onto the ground. I closed my eyes to just relax but drifted off to sleep.
Morning,
I slept in and saw the sun shining into the room from the small window. I saw a dark shadow in the corner of the room by the door. I rubbed my eyes and blinked, that's when the shadow took shape. The shape of a man, I opened my mouth to scream but a hand covered it. Loki straddled me and held the necklace Luke gave me in his hands. My hands radiated in golden light to hit him but before I could he put the necklace on me so hard and quickly I thought he was going to strangle me.
When I heard the click on the necklace the gold light in my hands faded away and Loki laughed as I screamed into his hand. I threw punches at him but he just laughed.
"It's good to see you too darling" He said lightly touching my cheek "but you shouldn't waste your time screaming, it will do you no good."
"What are you doing here Loki?" I asked after he put his hand off my mouth "How did you escape your cell?"
"I'm still in my cell darling, this is just an illusion." He smiled
"Well I hope this still hurts" I slammed my knee into his groin and he disappeared into green light.
When he disappeared I immediately got out of bed, everything become blurry and fuzzy. I opened the door and struggled to walk down the hallway. I felt a huge fever suddenly hit me making me start to sweat. Agents looked at me with confused looks on their faces. I panted and pushed my weak legs to carry me another step. I looked through a glass window and saw my dad with Bruce. I leaned on the door but it slid open and I fell.
"Oh my god, Kida!" My dad said running to me
I reached my hand out to him, but there was no light. Not even a spark, I slowly closed my eyes and there was nothing but darkness.
3rd person P.O.V
"Kida" Tony said brushing the hair out of her face "Kida wake up, come on"
"Her fever is sky rocketing" Bruce said, "She needs a doctor stat"
Tony picked Kida up in her arms and ran down the hallway.
"HELP! HELP MY DAUGHTER! SHE NEEDS A DOCTOR!" Tony screamed and Steve walked out of his room
"What happened?"
"She just walked into the lab and collapsed she has a fever that isn't going down." Tony said
"Tony the medical bay is on the other side of the ship, I can carry her there quicker."
Tony's heart started pounding he looked down at Kida. He felt like he was losing his mind, how could this happen to her.
"I promise" Steve continued, "She'll be safe with me."
"If you do so much as accidently hit her head against a corner." Tony looked up to Steve "I'll make you wish you never thawed out of the ice."
Steve grabbed Kida and ran across the ship, agents jumped out of the way to avoid him. When he got to the medical bay he put her on an empty bed and doctors surrounded her. As he stepped back she started convulsing and shaking like a fish out of water.
"What's happening to her?" Steve asked
"Sir we need you to stay outside" A nurse said pushing him out
He was pushed out of the room and watched through the window as doctors surrounded her. Steve watched helplessly with his hands in the edge of the window, there was no one else in the hallway. There was nothing he could do, nothing he could do to help her. All he could do was wait and pray.
Chapter Song
It's a harder way, and it's come to claim her
And I always say, we should be together
And I can see below, 'cause there's something in here
And if you are gone, I will not belong here (belong, belong, belong)
