Chapter 2, In which the Power stone is absorbed and Loki gets hyper

Alright, let's get this started! I did have to repost the last chapter because I forgot the Thanos part. The Guardians of the Galaxy will be in this story at some point and I may add in other Marvel characters like Spider-Man and some X-Men. But mainly Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy. Ok, the story with Loki is that Dark World did happen but Loki did actually almost die but they saved him in time and now he's my bitch. I mean, I'm his keeper. Same difference. And, oh wow, I already got 2 reviews after the last chapter and it's only been an hour. And, yes, I sent you a PM (Whoever said Nebula was alive) I completely forgot about her, but pretend that Thanos needs a new minion or that Nebula left and Thanos will get her and the Chitauri back. I also realize that last chapter it wasn't Non-Graphic non-con, it was implied. I'm trying to update it every day. And I did change the pairing to Loki/OC/Star-Lord (Peter Quill), because already there was nothing between me and Clint, so yeah. And it is a crossover with Guardians of the Galaxy.

Warnings: References to F/F non-con. Um, and language, I guess.

Dear Journal,

I'm pretty sure I've been doting on Loki too much; he's starting to get annoyed. So are the others, since I've been really taking care of him. But Loki looks so sick. His eyes were dark, he was pale, and he was so very skinny, so I've been taking care of him since he got here earlier in the afternoon.

I haven't wrote in you for a while, so I better tell you what happened… Something entered Natasha. On my first day, she couldn't control herself and something made her… Made her force me…

Anyways, I'm Loki's keeper. It's pretty awesome. There is no limits, really. No one can hack it, Tony made sure of that. And I made sure he didn't put in that no one can hack it except him. So, yes, Loki is mine. That is probably the best gift I have ever been given. He already looks healthier, and as my personal body guard I must keep that true. At least, that's what I've told the others. No one needs to know that I care for the Prince of Mischief. No one needs to know anything I write in this journal.

Karrine Schwimley.

-I'm in Marvel?! Sweet!-

"Do you know what some of the stones are?" I was seated in the lab. Tony had this, 'I'm a scientist, so you must answer me!', look on his face, and Bruce had an eager one. Loki sat beside me with an only slightly interested look.

"Ok, there's the Cosmic, Time, Power, Knowledge, Soul, and Reality." I answered. A new awareness I hadn't actually known before flitted to the top of my mind.

"The Soul stone goes in my chest, the Power stone in my right hand, the Reality stone in my left, the Knowledge stone in my head, the Cosmic stone in my right foot, and the Time stone is my left foot."

Bruce leaned back slightly. All 3 men around me now had wide, shocked eyes. I blinked and groaned slightly as a headache started.

"You ok? Maybe you need some sleep. You could try the stasis bubble for Loki." Tony suggested lightly, and Loki snapped to look at him with one raised eyebrow. "The what?"

I ignored the prince of mischief and waved away Tony's concern. "Hold on, Tony. The Tesseract is the Cosmic, or Space stone. The Orb is the Power Stone. The Chitauri Scepter was the Mind, or Knowledge, stone. And I think the Aether was either the Soul or Reality Stone."

"You know of the Aether?" Loki breathed.

I gave a nod. "Ok, I can tell you where some of them are. You know that the Tesseract is in Asgardian custody. The Orb is in Nova Corps custody. The Chitauri Scepter is in Hydra's custody. The Aether-!" I stopped. Oh no. The Aether was with the Collector. And if anything in this world could know about me, or want me… Jeeze, if I got captured by him, I would be property again! And treated very badly.

"The Collector has the Aether." I grit out, and I saw Loki beside me grimace lightly before composing himself.

"Who is the Collector?" Tony asked, leaning forward.

"He is a cruel person. He has a vast knowledge and comprehension of the advanced science and technology of numerous alien worlds, as well as a collection of devices and artifacts from those worlds. His real name is Taneleer Tivan. He is trying to collect all of the Infinity Stones. He has the Aether, he almost had the Orb." I explained.

"So another threat we need to warn Fury about." Bruce grumbled.

Before I could tell him no, Loki spoke up. "Actually, Banner, maybe you do not have to tell Nicholas Fury." Tony gave Loki a glare. "Karrine, can you shock him please?" He asked.

"Actually, Tony, I agree. There is no actual threat yet, just be on high alert that there may be more than just Thanos we're going up against. But maybe we'll get more people to help. I mean, this has to do with the Infinity Stones, meaning I do expect at least the Guardians of the Galaxy to make some appearance in our lives soon." I described to Tony, and he pouted, crossing his arms.

Before I could call him out on how childish he was being, an alarm sounded. "Sir, a ship has just landed on your roof. There are 5 people, a green woman, a raccoon, a large man with red markings on him, a living stick, and a man with a face mask on."

"Oh, I should have bet on it!" I cried happily. Bruce furrowed his eyebrows, Tony gave me an incredulous look, and Loki raised one of his eyebrows. "It's the Guardians of the Galaxy." I explained.

-I'm in Marvel?! Sweet!-

"People call me Star-Lord. My name is Peter Quill." I watched the man a moment with wide eyes.

"Sir?" I asked, and chuckled lightly at Tony's eye roll. "Please, call me Star-Lord." I raised one eye brow. "Then call me Epoch." Yes, I did choose a superhero name. I will have powers at some point, so I better be ready.

Star-Lord gave me a half smile with one light chuckle. "Alright, Epoch." I could have swooned. I could have freaking swooned.

I didn't, but I could have.

Clint had stepped forward now, watching Peter with squinted eyes. "Why should we trust you?" He asked, and Peter smirked before tossing the Orb into the air and catching it.

"That's why." He answered, before tossing me the thing. I yelped and nearly dropped it, but Natasha caught it for me. I nearly shuddered upon seeing her, but I choked it down. At least I think I did. The worried glances I got from some of them told me otherwise.

Natasha handed me the Orb and I turned it over in my hands.

"The Power stone is inside…" I sighed, tossing it up before barely catching it. "It goes in my right hand." I whispered more to myself, before opening the container in my left hand and glancing at the purple stone inside.

"Should I be afraid?" I asked, glancing over to Bruce.

"No. I mean, you are the vessel for them, so it shouldn't hurt you at all." Bruce answered, and I tried to stop my heart from beating out of my chest. I raised my right hand slightly and reached for the stone slowly. I stopped a breath away from it and hesitated a moment, before reaching a little bit forward and…

"OH MY GOD!" I gave a scream at Tony's cry, wrenching my hand away. I hadn't even touched it! Oh. Hold on a moment…

"TONY!" I cried angrily, and he laughed loudly at me. I slowly wiped away a few tears that had escaped my eyes from being scared so much.

I heard some people start laughing along with him and I pouted a little.

"Lady Karrine, you have no need to be scared. The man of Iron was just being cruel." I heard Thor tell me, and I nodded. "Goddamn right he was being cruel…" I grumbled before taking a shaky breath and grasped the Power Stone in my right hand.

I gasped slightly at the feeling that went through me upon doing this and winced when my vision flooded with purple before suddenly turning normal. I dropped to my hands and knees and took sharp and heaving breaths, before finally calming down.

"It's gone…" I heard Steve whisper in shock. "Did she absorb it or…?" Clint trailed off.

"It didn't leave when we touched it…" Rocket mused before padding over towards me and grabbing my face. I blinked in surprise when he tipped my head to look at my eyes and face. "Her eyes changed color." He finally said, but then he turned his head to look at Peter. "But they aren't purple." I nearly lost consciousness from being tired right after he said that, but Rocket had other plans. He shook my head a few times, which made me snap open my eyes.

"See? They're silver." He finished, and I saw blurry shapes of people stoop down to look at my eyes before everything went black.

-I'm in Marvel?! Sweet!-

I gasped for air once I awoke, and slowly turned towards the window. It was bright outside, so it was either morning or noon. I stretched slightly and sat up, realizing that I was in my bedroom. "I have alerted Mr. Stark of your consciousness." I heard JARVIS say, and I nodded, getting off the bed.

"Uh, cool, what day is it?" I asked. "It is the 8th of January, 2015, 12:13 PM."

Wow, I slept a long time. I went over to the door and opened it, peering outside into the hallway. "Are the Guardians of the Galaxy still here?" I asked. "They are at the SHIELD Hellicarrier at the moment. However, they do have rooms here." Came the answer, and I nodded.

"JARVIS, are my eyes still silver?" Silence met my question, and I decided that this was either not a good question to ask, or he was busy. Since he was a multi-tasking AI, I knew it was the former.

"You're awake!" I turned slightly to see Steve look at me with wide eyes, before lunging forward to help me walk. I was stumbling around and using the wall for support so no complaining from me.

"Hi Steve…" I spoke lowly, watching my feet as I walked. "Good afternoon, Karrine. Are you hungry?" As if to answer for me, my stomach growled loudly. I shrugged and nodded.

"What happened while I was asleep for 3 days?" I asked him. "We found where HYDRA is but we can't move in until we know for sure if they have the Mind Stone or not. The Tesseract is still in Asgardian custody, Odin won't hand it over until we find all the others. We can't find the Aether or Collector, so we cannot find the Soul, Reality, or Time stones."

I nodded in affirmation before looking over at Steve. "Are my eyes still silver?" He went rigid and stopped suddenly, not looking at me. "Steve?" I asked. He bit his lip before he started walking again, leaving my question unanswered a second time.

"What happened to Loki?" I asked.

"He's been pretty good so far, he's in the kitchen at the moment." Steve answered before we finally made it to the kitchen. When he let me go I quickly hoisted myself up to sit on the counter.

Loki looked up at me and asked, "Are you alright, Miss Karrine?" I blinked in surprise and turned to him. "Uh, yeah, I am." I answered. He nodded before going back to… what was he doing? He was playing with a Rubik's cube! I watched him a few moments, just being mesmerized by how his slender fingers danced along the cube, before he glanced up at me with slanted eyes. "What?" He asked darkly, and I leaned back in surprise.

"Nothing, Loki. I just thought it looked cool how you are doing that. There's even harder ones if you would like them. There's pyramids, the Irregular IQ, 4 by 4 keyboard cube, the IQ sphere, keyboard Sudoku combo, mirror Rubik's cube, smallest mini Rubik's cube, LED, Scruble cube, Conjoined 3x3x3 Rubik's IQ Cube, The Sudoku Rubik's Cube, Noughts and Crosses Tic-Tac-Toe Rubik's Cube, 2×2 Speed Rubik's Cube, 7×7 Super Multicolor V-Cube Rubik's Cube, Insane 17x17x17 Super Complex Rubik's Cube-!"

"Can I have that one?" I stopped my rant at his eager words and glanced at the Prince of Mischief with a smile. "Are you sure? I have faith in you, Loki. You must know that the hardest Rubik's in the world is the Pentamix." Loki blinked a moment, furrowing his eyebrows, before asking, "You think I am smart enough for the hardest one of these in the world?"

"No." I answered, and his face fell. "I know you are smart enough for it." The smile he gave me was genuine, but Steve ruined the moment.

"Do you want Oriental, Beef, Chicken, shrimp, spicy shrimp…?"

"Beef, please." I answered offhandedly before grabbing one of my many boxes of Green Tea Pocky and a Red Bull. I debated within myself for a moment, before grabbing a second one and handing it to Loki.

"What is this?" Loki asked, looking at me in the eyes. "It's a drink. Try it." I opened it and he sniffed it experimentally, before taking a sip.

-I'm in Marvel?! Sweet!-

I lay across the couch again, one leg bent up, one lay straight across, and my arms crossed behind my head.

I heard Loki squealing about something or the other, and I chuckled lightly.

"Why would you give him Red Bull?!" Tony cried, and I looked over at him.

"Why won't you get together with Bruce?" He didn't have the same reaction as before, so that's good.

"That's what you want?!" He sighed, before sitting on the floor so we were face level. "I would, but Bruce would never go for me." I leaned back slightly. "Oh…" I drew out.

"The world is a nasty place right now, Tony. You don't have time to be self-conscious. You wait any longer, and you'll miss your chance. You'll never be able to be with him." Tony looked away from me and stayed quiet.

We just stayed like that for a few minutes, just being comfortable in each other's company. "Thank you, Karrine." He finally said, and I nodded to the billionaire. "You're welcome."

"If you ever have anything you need to tell us, we're here for you." I went rigid at his words, the Natasha mind controlled memory flitting through my mind.

"Yeah, Tony. I do have something to tell you." I whispered, turning over to look at him.

-I'm in Marvel?! Sweet!-

"If someone made Natasha do… that to you, who else could they control and make them do even worse?!" Tony cried, and I squirmed lightly.

"How could you not tell us?! Whoever did this is going to…" Bruce growled, and I noticed his eyes tinge green.

"Bruce, honey, please calm down." I said soothingly.

"But… someone did this to you!" He cried. I shrugged limply, and reached a hand onto his shoulder. "Sweetheart, calm down and take some deep breaths. This isn't going to be the only thing to happen to me. Hell, it probably won't even be the worst. I'm in danger because of what I am. I should be curled in a corner sobbing my eyes out, but I have promises to keep and miles to go. You do to. So don't get angry because of some little thing that happened. Get angry when you really need to be." Bruce watched me with sorrowful eyes, and I glanced away after a few moments.

"Karrine, are you ok?" Tony asked me softly. I grit my teeth suddenly as a wave of slight pain ripple through my abdomen before fading away.

"Really, are you ok? Experiencing any pain?" Bruce asked me. I shook my head no. I glanced up at them, though, fear going through me a moment. "I know people highly invested in my survival and they are people who really know how to hurt. In ways you can't even imagine. I'm not in pain, Bruce, Tony. I'm afraid."

-I'm in Marvel?! Sweet!-

(3rd Person)

Nebula walked briskly across the city in anger, glaring at any and all people who looked at her. Her only hand grasped her arm without a hand tightly as a wave of pain went through it before fading away. Rolling her eyes she kept going.

Coming to a stop at the edge of the dark chasm at the edge of the city she leaned over it and yelled, "Chitauri!" Clicking voices roared up from the pit and she smiled widely. Her hand travelled into her pocket and she tossed the small green prism up and caught it a moment for throwing it down into the abyss.

Tendrils of green energy arose from the dark, reaching for Nebula, but she took one step back and watched as the Chitauri armies arose from their would-be grave.

Thanos watched the encounter from his throne, smirk set on his face. But it fell a moment after. He needed to find a way to send Nebula to Terran, but he didn't have any stones of his own. If he could somehow find a way to use the powers inside the woman for his own purpose he could send Nebula and the Chitauri to Terran along with the Aether once he finds a way to get it from the Collector.

Right, the Collector. He had to make sure the Collector wasn't trying to get to her as well, and if he was, how to get rid of the threat.

Nebula materialized in front of Thanos a moment after. "Father, I have located the Chitauri."

"Yes, I know, Nebula." He answered, before looking over at the mist showing him Karrine.

"Is she really this important?" She asked, looking at the images.

"Yes, Nebula." He answered, the image changing to her with wide, fearful silver eyes and tears almost spilling from them. "She really is."

Uh, thanks for reading! Follow, favorite, review! So, yeah, not much Guardians yet but next chapter will have them. Some Stanner! Some Loki/Me, and some helpful Steve. Tell me if you want the end pairing to be either Loki/Me or Peter/Me.
