Allie's POV

I could slightly hear voices in the room. I was semi-conscious, meaning that I could hear but I couldn't move. I give up on trying to wake up and pay attention to the conversation that goes on around me. The voices were hard to put to names because they sounded blurry and kind of auto tuned, if you get what I mean.

"Sophie, were you bitten?" It was a deep, masculine voice. Thor? Bruce? Steve?

"No. It didn't even touch me because Allie came in the room. What happened to her?" Sophie? It had to be, no one's voice sounded that young, except for mine.

"She's sick, child. Very, very sick." Definitely either Thor or Loki. No one used the word 'Child' anymore

"Will she be alright?" Sophie asks the person.

Silence fills the room and I feel my stomach start to twist and turn inside my body. I felt like I could puke right then and now. Was I going to be alright? Or was I just going to die?

"How about we go have some lunch. I''ll bring you a meal fit for a king" That was obviously Thor as Loki wouldn't be that cheerful.

"But I'm a girl?!" A door opens and closes, 2 pairs of footsteps leaving the room. I feel a hand being placed on my forehead.

"Loki, will she be alright?" I think it was Steve. Not too deep, but not too high.

"It's hard to say. The only remedy is the Vandr's saliva, but the process itself is extremely painful. Only 1 survivor was known to live through it. Thor's mother - Frigga. But then again, she is a Queen and has royal blood running through her veins. It most likely slightly protected her, acted like a shield from the pain." That was definitely Loki. His voice sounded sincere yet mischief. I don't know if I can trust him or not.

"How does that work" Natasha. The voices were beginning to clear up and were made easier to recognise.

"I guess it would be like when a dog licks it's wounds. Saliva contains tissue factor which promotes the blood clotting mechanism. The enzyme lysozyme is found in many tissues and is known to attack the cell walls of many gram-positive bacteria, aiding in defense against infection." Bruce, obviously.

"What does that even mean?" Steve asks, probably confused by the big words. Hell, even I am!

"The saliva helps the wounds clot up, keeping infections out of it. In this case, the saliva would act like blood cells, and would attack the venom."

"Oh. This is bad" I hear more footsteps, like someone was pacing the room.

"I actually feel quite sorry for the human. I have been stung by a Vandr. I couldn't perform magic for months because of the pain." Loki again, wait. Hold up and rewind. He feels sorry for me? Why does he do this to me?! Couldn't he have said that when I was awake?!

Silence fills the room again before Tony gets rid of it.

"Well... that's new."

I can see lights filling my eyes, creating a dark redish colour as it shines through my eyelids. It was much too bright, making me groan slightly.

"Allie?" I hear Bruce ask gently. I feel his hand touch my forehead again. "No fever" He announces.

"Turn the bloody sun down" I whine, my voice cracking as I aimlessly start to hit the air in front of me. Someone clicks off the lamp which makes me smile contently.

"Allie? You need to tell me that you can hear me. Can you?"

"Obviously... I'm not deaf. It's just too damn bright around here. I hear chuckles of different people around the room.

"You need to open your eyes so I can check for a concussion." I grumble, opening my eyes and sitting up, which makes Bruce complain but I ignore him.

"How long was I out?" I question as Bruce shines a light right into my pupils. God, why is it so bright? I'm never really effected by light.

"Only about 20 minutes" I can see Natasha sitting down in a chair near the end of my bed, still looking a little worried. Clint stands behind her who is standing next to Fury. Tony is on the other side of the bed and Loki stands near the doorway.

"So, just before you passed out you mentioned something about medicine? Care to explain?" Tony asks, raising an eyebrow. I go blank.

"I said that?" My voice goes high slightly "Hah, I must have been hallucinating or something. I don't take medication"

"Allie... What is it" This time, Tony looks serious, this must be bad. Tony is never serious, and I've only know him for like a day and a half.

"Nothing" I answer, looking anywhere but his eyes. Everyone looks at our exchange.

"Tell us"

"No"

"So there is something then"

"I never said that"

"You implied it"

"Did not"

"Did so"

"Did not"

"Did so"

"Did not"

"Did so"

"Did so"

"Did not" I smile at him before he realises what I did.

"Thank you very much. Yes, I agree. I did not imply anything and there is nothing. Kapeesh" He pouts a little bit and walks away, talking to Clint lowly.

"I got out smarted by a bloody 12 year old" The door opens again and Thor comes in, holding a plate of food in one hand, and carrying my sister in the other.

"Allie" She squeals, jumping down and getting up onto my lap.

"Sophie" I sigh contently, hugging her small body as if I'm reassuring myself that I am alive. I see everyone except for Thor and Loki leave the room. "What have you been doing?" I ask her, putting a stray piece of hair behind her ear.

"Thor has been taking really good care of me. You know how I told you about his girlfriend? Well, she's here on the ship right now! She's really nice and she promised that she'll play doll's with me. Thor gave me some nice clothes and some yummy food so my tummy doesn't hurt anymore. How about you? Were you sleepy?" I laugh at her rambling and nod my head.

"Yeah, I guess I was Soapy"

"Lady Allie" Thor calls me. I look over to me and he smile apologetically."We wish to speak to you alone"

"Hey there Soapy, how about you go and find Tony and annoy him, yeah?" She grins and runs out of the room.

"What's going to happen? I heard what you were all saying before"

"We are not sure, Lady Allie. Vandr are extremely hard to track. They are hunters and they're the best at disguising their bodies." Thor tells me, placing his hammer onto the bed.

"You said that I'll die" I blurted out. They both look at each other.

"Only after a certain amount of time. You were bitten 2 days ago, so you have roughly 3 months. Any more, and you could fall into a never ending sleep" I look over to Loki as he says this, accusingly.

"You sure know a lot about these things." He nods his head, kind of looking down a little.

"I use to study these creatures back on Asgard. They interested me."

"Really? I'd never guess. I wouldn't be surprised if you were the one to send them in to kill me" I deadpan, letting the anger take over slightly. He looks up and scowls at me.

"If you weren't already dying-"

"Brother. That is enough." Loki stops from saying another thing, and storms out. It's always just the 2 us that manage to push each other's buttons.

"I am sorry about my brother" Thor apologizes. I just shrug and pick at a loose thread on my shirt.

"Don't worry about it. I was kind of egging him on anyway," Thor nods, before looking back at me.

"Are you feeling well, Lady Allie?"

"I feel perfectly fine, Thor. Could you ask Bruce to come in and clear me out of here. I want to walk around for a bit. And can you stop with the 'Lady'. It makes me feel older than I should be" I pout at him. He just gives me a goofy grin, picks up the hammer and walks out.

"Farewell La- Allie"

Bruce comes in and gives me another quick check up.

"Nothing seem's wrong, so just take it easy for a while, alright?"

"Sure thing Doc" I grin.

Bruce helps me stand up, and watches as I kind of skip off out of the room, a big, bright smile on my face. Not bothered to go back to the third floor, I stick with exploring the very 1st- which is actually the bottom. I aimlessly walk the halls, enter random rooms and snoop through tables and cupboards. At one stage, I find a prison like room in a very isolated hallway.

Agents watch me as I pass them in the hallways, whispering to their buddies and pointing me out. I ignored them, though. I keep walking in the direction that interests me the most. I pass a glass door and backtrack when I see Tony and Bruce inside, working on some stuff. This was the lab. A real lab. I've always wanted to see one. I tried to open the door, but it doesn't let me in.

"Identification?" A robotic voice makes me jump slightly.

"Uh... Allie Widner?"" I say more like a question.

"Name not authorized. Please back away from the door" I start to walk backwards when Tony gets up and looks at me.

"Jarvis, let her in" I hear him slightly say. Must be sound proof glass. I blink at the door opening up straight away.

"Well... that was different. I thought that my home alarm was pretty cool" I walk in behind a chuckling Tony and sit on the spiny chair, looking around.

"Shouldn't you be in bed?" He asks me, tinkering around with some kind of hologram. I gasp at the sight of it.

"Seriously? Hologram computers are real? Here we are, suffering at school with Imac's and you guys are hoarding the cool stuff" I groan, thinking about the really old computers that literally can't do anything. I try to get up and touch it, but Tony smacks my hand away.

"No. No touching the cool hologram computer. You'll ruin my work"

"Oh and to answer your previous statement, I do not have a bedtime. I am not a baby." I inform him.

"Ugh. Teenagers are annoying" He groans, pushing me back down into the chair.

"I'm 12. I'm not a teenager yet."

" You're acting like one"

"Bruce!" I whine, making him raise an eyebrow, slightly smirking. "Tony's being mean to me" I whine, spinning in circles.

"Is she really being a teenager" Tony just shakes his head and goes back to his hologram screen.

"Alright. Do you guys have a paper plate, water and cornflour?" I ask. Bruce looks up, confused.

"Sure, but can I ask what for?" He gets a paper plate out and puts it in front of me. He fills up a cup of water and brings out a bag of cornflour from behind a box of random wood pieces.

"I think the real question, is why do you guys have cornflour in here" I get to work, placing the cornflour into the bowl, then slowly adding water. If you don't understand, I am making cornflour goo! This goo is really weird because when you pick it up and roll it around, it's a solid but if you leave it - in your hand of on a table, it turns into liquid again. It's really weird. When it's finished, I start playing around with it. Tony looks up at me.

"Uh, what the hell?" He walks over and pick some of it up. "Does this even logic" He asks, watching it liquefy in his hand.

"It's just a simple reaction with the water-"

"SHH" Tony and I both tell him, making him look surprised. "You'll ruin our fun if you tell us how it's possible" I say, getting a whole heap of it and placing it into Tony's hands.

"Yeah, leave us be my dear Science bro." Tony and I both have our fun, but it get boring after a while. I clean it up and leave the room.

"Thanks for the fun, but now I must continue exploring this huge ass ship" The last thing I hear is Bruce calling out "Language!"

This ship really is large. I probably haven't even covered a third of it yet. I manage to walk into a training room where heaps of people are working out. Seriously, who works out at 11:30pm? Jeeze. I don't even excercise during the day...

I continue wandering the halls when I see a large doorway that looks interesting. I open it and walk into the most amazing room I've ever seen. It looks dust and abandoned, but it's still magical. It was probably used for storage or something. It was a pentagon shaped room literally made of glass. The roof obviously wasn't and the 3 walls weren't, but the front wall and the ground was completely glass. And I don't mean glass with rails, it was just like 1 huge piece of plain glass. Most people would be freaked out by this, but I walk on in and sit down in the corner, looking out into the night sky. It was peaceful in here. I couldn't hear anyone outside and =I had the most amazing view ever.

As i watch the starts in the sky, tears start to spring up in my eyes, but I stop them from falling.

"Stop being such a baby" I mumble to myself, trying not to think about all of those star gazing memories I have with my Mum and Dad. My eyes start to feel heavy and before you know it, I was asleep. just as I fell into an oblivion, a soothing voice was whispering in my ear.

"Sleep well minn dýrr"

When I woke up, It was because the door was slammed open I quickly jump up and squint at the blurry figure.

"Allie!" Someone sighs in relief. "No one could find you! We thought that you had managed to hurt yourself. What are you doing in here?" I recognize the voice as Natasha.

"I fell asleep here. It's really nice in here, why don't you use this room?" I ask her, standing up and rubbing the sleep out of my eyes.

"No one likes this room and Fury doesn't trust it enough for storage" She says, dragging me up towards the elevator, but I steer clear of that, and start walking up the stairs.

"Allie?" I hear Natasha's teasing voice.

"Do you know how dangerous those things are? Nuh uh" I tell her, walking up the few steps. Please, it wasn't that far. I beat the elevator up here! When Natasha came out, she grabbed my shoulder and dragged me into the bridge.

"Found her" She announces. Everyone let's out a breath.

"Where was she" Fury demands.

"In that abandoned glass room place on level 1. looks like she slept there" I sit down and place my head on my palm.

"Yes, I did... well until you decided to wake me up." I mumble.

"Sorry. Now, can we get the meeting started" She says, leaning back in her chair. All agents in the room face Fury, including the Avengers.

"Yes. now as you all know, we need to start tracking down this group of Vandr. It is crucial that we find it within the next 3 months, otherwise young Allie over here" he points to my hunched over form. "Will face serious consequences. Death." A couple of gasps sound and I roll my eyes. I still don't think that I've really comprehended that there's a very large chance that I'm going to be dead before my next birthday. "We need to put in 110% to find them. Search every camera that exists, check every mobile call for any suspicious sightings and check in with our other bases. Get to work Agents." Everyone starts to run around - it was chaos. Fury looks over to me.

"Next time you think you're going to be sleeping in an abandoned room, mind to tell us before we have a heart attack" He growls. I just give him a thumbs up and look around, still tired.

"You know that we'll find them, don't you Allie? you and your sister will be fine soon."

"Yeah, then where will we go" I ask. Staring at Steve right in the eyes. "An orphanage, where we'll be split up. A foster home? Where all the kids will probably bully us? Yeah. We'lll be fine" I get up and storm out of the room, not realizing that I was walking towards Sophie's room. I walk in and see that she was sitting on the bed in a bright pink dress, playing with the plush toy I gave her.

"Hey Sophie" I say, hugging her tightly. She smiles at me.

"Allie! Look at what I'm playing. Did you want to play?" She asks, offering me the toy, but I shake my head.

"No thanks Sophie, I'll just watch, alright?" I watch as my little sister, my innocent little sister sits on her bed and plays, not realizing the serious danger that I was currently in. I might never make it to see her 8th birthday. Or my 13th. I might never be able to see my school again, or my friends, or my teachers. Sophie and I don't have Aunts or Uncles and our Grandparents have already passed away. All I have is Sophie. A couple of stray tears fall down my cheeks. All I want is for someone to save me.

I want to survive this, I want to live until I'm 88. I want to grow up to be a Scientist. I want to marry someone. I want to see my sister grow up to be a young lady. I want to beat up her first heartbreak. I want to be there for her. But because of this bloody Vandr - whatever it is, I might not be able to.

It has taken away my parents, It took away my family home, it took away my childhood, it took away my dreams at night, it took away my innocence. I can't be a child anymore when all I can think about it the cold hand of the monster on me as I watch my mother die in my arms as my fathers dead body sits, mangled on the bed.

Please, I wan't someone to save me...
