Just informing you guys on the POV's. The story is mostly going to be told in the older girls's POV but I will include occasional POV's of the Avengers, Loki, Fury etc. I can take requests too!.
5 minutes after group meeting...
(Older girl's POV)
So far, about 6 different people have tried to 'Help' me - well they say they're trying too. I don't believe them one bit. Those people are here to hurt me, to keep me here hostage until the end where they will most likely kill me. I know they will, I just know it. I've hurt every single one of them by scratching, kicking and injuring any body part that I can get to first. They all leave either limping or bleeding, wincing whenever they move, they deserve it.
I use my knowlege on fighting that I got from my dad. He used to be a self-defence trainer and he took it seriously. he taught mum and I how to do various forms of self-defense and fighting so that if we were ever threatened, we could perform thiese things. I never really thought that they were important until now. I wish my dad was here so I could thank him. I never had.
Right now, I'm sitting in the corner of the room where I can see the door. I don't want any sneak attacks on me. I keep on thinking about Sophia. Was she alright? Are they hurting her? Is she even alive? I don't know the answers to those questions, but I wish I did.
I want to see Sophie to make sure she is safe. I get the feeling that she is, but I just really want to know. That's part of the resson why I won't do anything but ask for her. From now on, she is the most important person in my life. It use to be my parents and her, but now that thhey're gone, my life will now revolve around her.
Footsteps sound outside the door and I quickly scramble up to my feet, ready to strike at the new intruder. A lock sounds and the door slides open, revealing a red-head in front of the man himself. Tony Stark. Since when did he join a terrorist organization that kidnaps and kills kids? They see my stance and throw their hands up in a surrender pose.
"Hey, kid. Your fine, relax" He tells me, moving tiny steps forward. I imagine my look as animalistic, I mean I'm bloody, covered in soot, I probably have burns on my arms and legs, my hair is knotty and my back is sore, probably when the thing bit me. It throbs and burns at a touch.
"Hey there. You're fine. You're safe. You're at SHIELD headquarters. Can you tell me your name?" The red head asks me. As I said before, I never studied the Avengers, so I don't know her name. I only know that she is the only girl on the team. I keep my mouth shut and I clench and unclench my muscles, breathing in and out steadily. She walks closer to me. She's about 2 meters away from me.
"You haven't eaten anything since you've been here and we need to see if your injured. Let us help you" She says in a soft voice. I see that the look in her eyes are real and pure, but I don't care. She takes another step when I had enough. I launch myself towards the two bodies, sweeping them of of their feet.
The red head slams her body on the wall as I literally tackle Tony Stark to the ground. She tries to get me off of him but I'm too quick. I kick my leg backwards, hitting her in the face, when I start landing punches and scratches all over the billionaires arms.
I feel the metal piece in his chest which for some reason makes me madder. Has he been controlled by this place too? Is that what the arc reactor is from? I don't notice the red head coming up behind me, when I'm pulled from his body and pushed hard back towards the back corner. They both run out of the room, locking the door behind me. I'm still breathing heavily when I sit down on the bed, leaning my hand on the palms of my hand.
What am I doing?
I craw up to the corner of the bed ( My bed was placed against 2 walls, so I can lean on the corner of the room ) and place my knees against my chest. I start to cry, sobs shaking my body. I just want to wake up from this nightmare. I want to wake up to find that my parents are still alive and well, then go about my day without fear. This isn't fair and it never will be...
I'm hungry, I'm thirsty, I have a headache, My body bloody aches with pain, and all I want to do is sleep. I want someone to help me... but I don't know who to trust. I just want my family, my friends and someone to comfort me, but that isn't going to happen until I start trusting this group of people. Great.
After a while of just crying, I let my legs stretch out as my body gives out those last few sobs that come and go. I look around the room, facing the camera and looking straight into it, knowing that someone was watching me. As creepy as it sounds, I know it's for my own good. I don't want to hurt anyone else, I just want to sit here and be a depressed little girl that thinks that they don't have anything to live for. Well, except for one little girl.
I lay on my back, staring up at the ceiling with a hard look in my eyes. I can't really describe what I'm feeling right now, It's too hard. I'm going to promise myself now, I am not going to give out any information on me, Sophia or my family. I won't, I refuse to. If they want information, they're going to have to earn it.
After the meeting with Sophia's older sister.
( Short 3rd person POV - couple of paragraphs long )
When Thor, Bruce and Steve found Sophia asleep in her room, they went straight out to the table to wait for Natasha and Tony. They sat there waiting. 5 minutes pass. Then 10 minutes, 15 minutes and 20 minutes. After about a quarter of an hour, the duo come into sight, beaten and looking very bruised. Loki walks in behind them looking absolutely bored.
"What happened to you guys" Steve asks them, looking at them worried. Tony sits down carefully, a frown etched onto his face that is slowly turning into a pout.
"Well. She doesn't want any company. Within the first 5 minutes, she had Tony on the floor and me with a bleeding nose. She's strong so I think that maybe Thor or Loki should go in, someone that is strong enough to hold of a grown man." Natasha says, gently feeling the area around her nose.
"A grown man? She looks hardly anything like a teenager" Bruce proclaimed, looking at the assassin with a dumb look on his face.
"She had Tony down in seconds. Sure anyone can do that, but she managed to bring me down at the same time. I'm the strongest female fighter on the helicarrier" She grumbles. The lot look at each other before the Norse god sighs, standing up.
"What do I have to question her" He asks Fury, staring down at his one eyes. Fury then responds;
"The normal things that will help us figure out why she was targeted. Name, Age, Friends, School, If she does any out-of-school activities. Things like that. Try and make a conversation with her." Thor looks at everybody confused for a little bit then walks off, slapping his brother's shoulder once. Loki glares at him for that.
"I will try my best, but I make no promises" His deep voice calms Natasha down, and she can tell that the girl will be soothed, even by a little bit by his voice. They watch as Thor walks off, Mjolnir left behind, and they start talking to Tony and Natasha, asking about the mysterious girl.
( Change of POV - Thor )
I walk up to the door looking through the window and see a girl that looks about 10 or 11 sitting on the bed, staring up at the roof with a hard look in her eyes. I think of a way to gain at least some of her trust. I knock on the door 3 times.
"Who- who is it" An innocent voice answers.
"My name is Thor, from the group called the Avengers. I just want to talk" I boom loudly, but not as loudly as I usually would. Earth isn't like Asgard, you don't need to shout because there aren't many things for it to bounce of. Plus, I'm not in a mansion like I normally live in.
"I don't want to talk" She moaned at me, I see her place her head back onto the pillow.
"Well you don't have to, Child. I'll talk and you can listen" I scan the piece of plastic that I was given when I entered the premises. It opens up the door and I walk in. When the door closes, I sit down on the floor, looking at the girl. She doesn't need for me to look threatening. I see the look in her eyes before she can hide it.
Amusement and Confusion.
"Child, can you tell me your name?" I ask her. She does not answer yet she looks at me curiously, she studies me. I make sure to make myself look relaxed and non-threatening. it's hard because I'm use to making myself, in fact look threatening.
"I'm not going to tell you. Next question" She simply states. I smile at her attitude. She is very much like Loki, and that is probably going to end up being a bad thing.
"I need to at least know your age" She looks at me before saying.
"I'm 12" She answers. I look up at the blinking box in the corner of the room. It's called a 'Camera' I think the one eyed man said.
"Really? You look much more youthful" I respond. She looks only 10 or 11, hardly 12.
"That's a compliment, I suppose?" She sniffles, wiping off the dried tears on her cheeks.
"yes, It was. Why won't you give us your name?" I question him. She hesitates a little bit.
"I don't know where I am, I don't know who any of you are and the last thing I did was drag my parents dead bodies out of a burning house after escaping from a giant, slimy alien thing. Do you think I feel like giving out personal information?" She hisses, curling herself into a ball. It's silent for a couple of minutes as we both remember. We were very much alike. I too had to discover my mother's dead body in the castle, and I had to carry it out into the cChambers. I know how the young one felt.
"What did the alien look like? If I gave you some paper, would you be able to draw it?" I ask. She thinks for a second before shaking her head.
"I-I can't The look of it is overpowered by the pictures of my mum dying in my arms" She tears up, a few rebel tears falling down her cheeks. I almost get up before remembering how untrusting she is. I let her sit there and sob while I look over her, feeling selfish.
"Would you like to see your sister?" I ask. I can tell that this is against the rules, but I know that to gain the child's trust, is to treat her good. Locking her up in a room where she can't see the young Sophie must be horrible. She looks up, her lip trembling.
"Are- Are you serious? She whispers. I slightly smile while opening up the door, motioning for her to step out.
"I'll have to keep my hand on your shoulder, just to keep everyone at ease" I tell her. She nods before I start leading her to the other room. I feel her muscles in her shoulder tighten at my touch and I smile down at her sadly. I greet the guards before scanning the piece of plastic again, letting the door slide open. Sophie still lays down on the bed, fast asleep with her brown hair flowing around her face. I have to say that this was quite cute. The child walks over carefully to her sister and kneels down, gently running her fingers over Sophie's cheek. I watch them interact, a smile reaching my face. in the corner of my eye, I see Natasha and Fury coming up, anger in their eyes.
"Thor, what the hell are you going?" The one eyed man hisses at me. I just shrug his hand off of my fore arm, gently leading the little girl out of the room and back into her's.
"I'm gaining her trust, you fool. Don't expect any towards yourself when all you're doing is bad." I tell him, anger lacing through my words. I close the door again, looking at the girl again.
"She's fine. No one is going to hurt her. no one is going to hurt us. We're fine" I hear her whisper to herself. I once again sit on the floor.
"So, Child. Where did you attend to your schooling?" She smiles at my wording, most likely because no one speaks like myself.
"A place in Ridgewood. Ridgewood High School. Literally a 30 second walk from Starbucks" She laughs. I scrunch up my face, wondering what kind of a Midgardian place that was? She notices my look.
"You don't know what Starbucks is?" She asks. I shake my head. She looks at me, wide eyed.
"No way! Where on Earth do you live? Under a rock?" I look at her with a proud expression.
"Actually, I live on a realm called Asgard. I live in my Father's home, the biggest castle on the whole of Asgard." She looks at me and then giggles.
"Wait. You- Your Thor? As in the guy who my sister fan girls over? Oh my god where am I" A giggle fit ends up with her looking around nervously.
"Who were the people who came in before?" She stutters. Shen them freaks out after I tell her.
"Iron man and Black Widow, why?"
"Please, I don't want any company right now. I- I'm going crazy" She starts breathing in and out extremely fast and when I get up to see if she was alright, she lashes out at me.
"PLEASE DON'T TOUCH ME! GET OUT!" I back away and walk calmly out of the door. At least I got some information out of her. I walk walk towards to conference room where everybody waits.
When I walk in, the first thing I see is a live video of the room I was just in. I see the child crying with her head in her hands. Fury walks up to me along with Maria.
"Although I am extremely pissed off about that little stunt you pulled, good job. We got something out of her." I sit down in the chair where Mjolnir waits, next to Loki.
"How are we going to get her to trust us enough so we can treat her wounds? I saw blood coming out from her back, and it looked fresh, not dried." Bruce asks us, looking around.
"I don't know. Sedate her, but let me tell you now. I ain't going near her anymore" The man of steel proclaims, pouting in his char while the rest of us are amused.
"How are we going to sedate her when people can't get within 5 feet of her" Steve asks.
"I could use my magic to sedate her" My brother pipes up. Everyone goes silent, including myself. Loki - the god of mischief. The man who tried to take over Midgard, want's to help a child. This was new, I told them that he had changed.
"What? She interests me with her personality. She will grow up to be great" He shrugs, pulling up his sleeves and leaning back.
"Alright. This is new. Rock of Ages want to help us help instead of causing the thing we need to help with. Wow, that was confusing to say" The man of Iron states once again.
"That would work, but we need to try and not do that. She's young and that won't help us with getting her to trust us" Steve chided.
"Yeah, we'll do that if it really comes down to that. For now, we should each individually try and get to know her. Maybe take a few files on us in so she can read them. It might work." Spider chimes in. The rest of the group all agree except for Loki and man of steel.
"There is no way in hell, that I am going to be setting 1 foot into that room. My beautiful body has been tortured enough." He stands off and walks into the direction of his room.
"Just because I think her personality is great, doesn't mean that I would like to talk to her. She annoys me" My brother states.
"Brother, you will be joining in and talking to her." I order him.
"Yes sir" He rolls his eyes before we all set off, walking in the direction of our rooms. This was an interesting day...
Sentence/s :- One of the girls is extremely bi-polar or emotional.
