Author's note: if you haven't read the corrected version of chapter three which I posted on the 11th than you should go read that chapter again before reading the following one! If you don't than the chapters that follow will be lost on you. And in the future I would greatly appreciate it if someone would inform me as to whether or not it looks like I may have posted the wrong chapter. I have had dozens of computer crashes over the years in which I have had to have the entire thing wiped causing me to lose a lot of work. :( So by copying and saving chapters that I'm working on to documents in my FF account I hope to avoid losing them. I also sometimes work on chapters via cellphone and/or iPod Touch and having the documents in my FF account allows me to do that. When I decided to break up chapter one into a bunch of smaller chapters I had to create more documents so as to move around a significant enough amount of story content. As a result I failed to realize that I hadn't replaced the content in the chapter three document and didn't realize my mistake until a few days later. In the future I will be sure to check my work via the live preview and correct mistakes when I find them.

Thank you UnknownMystery111 for your reviews. I hope you enjoy all upcoming chapters.

Thank you Antonio for your review though you might want to go back and reread chapter 3 if you haven't reread it since my correction of it.

Thank you Maeda Atsuko 13th for your review as well as correcting my mistake. I probably wrote that part of the chapter on my cellphone and using the translation app and some of what I copied and pasted may not have been maintained in the document. Please feel free to correct any mistakes I make.Thank you to the other guest writer for your review. I hope you continue to enjoy the story.

Thank you novice.p for your review.

Disclaimer at the start of Chapter one.

Author's hostage note: Until I get a minimum of three reviews per a chapter I will be holding the next chapter hostage. The story stats tell me how many visitors I get per a chapter so I know that I've had dozens of people reading this story.

I would recommend rereading chapter three before continuing to read further.

As they were quickly evacuating the facility one of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents fumbled with securing one of the containers on the back of one of the trucks. They didn't even notice it at the time with all the chaos going on.

"We're clear! Let's go! Move it!"

As the portal started collapsing the truck wasn't able to get away before the ground beneath it began collapsing. When that happened the container fell out and busted open, the chunk of ice within it rolled out before breaking, ice forming on the ground as it did so. As it broke open the unconscious woman inside of it tumbled out and ice formed on the ground around her.

Elsa awoke to find herself on the ground surrounded by ice and rubble. She pushed herself up from the ground and looked around. She felt dazed and confused.

"Where am I?" Elsa wondered out loud. She pushed herself off the ground so that she was standing. Her legs buckled slightly before she could steady herself. Her legs felt weak from lack of use but once she was able to steady herself she took another look around.

Everything around her seemed so strange and unfamiliar. There was some kind of metal container that looked like it had been broken open and she was surrounded by chunks of ice. Upon closer look she could've sworn that it looked like a person had been inside of it.

'Was I in that?' Elsa thought to herself.

She looked around and saw a lot of strange metal box like objects around her. They had some strange looking wheels attached to them and what looked like broken windows too. They also had a few other strange attachments to them.

"Hello? Is anyone there?" Elsa heard a voice ask.

'English? Where am I if I'm hearing a voice from someone speaking English,' Elsa thought to herself.

"Yes. I'm here," Elsa replied taking a few steps in the direction of the voice. It was a woman's voice. She was speaking English but didn't sound like any English speaker she had met before. Not that that was saying very much considering that she had spent most of her life within the castle walls with the gates closed off to the rest of the world. The first time she met any native English speakers was the day of her coronation a few days ago.

"Who is this?" Deputy-Director Hill asked. She didn't know every person at the S.H.I.E.L.D. Facility so she had to ask.

"Elsa," she replied.

Maria Hill thought it strange that the person speaking didn't give their last name or use the title of Agent.

"Alright, Elsa. Do you have a last name?" Maria asked.

"No," came the response.

'Sounds like a European accent. A foreign asset, maybe from one of the overseas offices,' Maria thought.

"Alright, Elsa, are you hurt?" Maria asked.

"I don't think so," came the response.

"Good, is anyone else with you and if so are any of them hurt?" Maria asked.

"I don't know," came the answer.

"Elsa? Can you see anything around you?" Maria asked.

"Yes. However, I don't know what it is that I'm seeing, other than all the ice," came the response.

"What ice?" Maria asked a little perplexed.

"There's on the ground where I woke up," Elsa replied.

That caught Maria's attention more than anything else.

"What do you mean, where you woke up? Did you lose consciousness? Were you sleeping?" Maria asked.

Elsa wasn't sure how to answer that. She didn't even know where she was or what she was doing here.

Maria started to wonder when she didn't get a reply.

"Elsa? Are you still there?" Maria asked.

"Yes, ma'am," Elsa replied.

"You said that there was ice on the ground where you woke up. Do you have any idea how it got there?" Maria asked.

"I'm not sure. It looks as though someone was inside of it," Elsa said honestly.

'What the hell is going on?' Maria thought to herself.

"What do you mean?" Maria asked.

"There are large pieces of broken ice that look as though they once contained a person," Elsa said.

'That's just great, we must have lost some sort of mummified remains,' Maria thought to herself.

"Did you see a body that could have been inside of it?" Maria asked.

Before Elsa could answer she heard someone nearby.

"I hear someone," Elsa said before she started heading in the direction of the sound. She found a man pinned down.

"Are you alright?" Elsa asked, kneeling down beside him.

"Whoa! What's a girl like you doing in a place like this?" Agent Newman asked.

"I don't know. Where am I?" Elsa asked.

"What do you mean you don't know?" Agent Newman asked choosing to ignore her question for the moment.

"I mean I don't know how I got here or why I'm here," Elsa said before she had another thought.

"Wait, am I in hell?" Elsa asked.

"Some days it feels that way in this neck of the woods, but only during the daytime. At night it's always cool here," Agent Newman replied.

"I see," Elsa said before adding, "but you still haven't answered my previous question. Where am I?" Elsa asked repeating her earlier question.

"In the Mojave Desert, in the remnants," he winced as he tried to move, "of a classified S.H.I.E.L.D facility," he finished trying to pull himself out of the wreckage of the truck he was pinned down in.

"Which again begs the question, what is a girl like you doing here," he said sounding more serious.

"I already told you I don't know," Elsa said sounding a little nervous by his tone and the serious look on his face.

"How did you get here?" Agent Newman asked.

"I don't know," Elsa replied honestly.

Just then, there was a sound and some rubble began to fall on top of them.

Instinctively, Elsa threw her hands out causing ice to form and holding the debris up and preventing it from falling.

"What the hell was that?!" Agent Newman asked looking at her wide eyed with surprise.

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to..." Elsa said getting up and moving away. She held her hands close to herself. The temperature began to drop and the wind began to pick up.

On the other side of the rubble, Maria Hill started to worry about whoever it was she had been speaking with from behind the rubble suddenly became quiet. It had been a weird conversation. The woman she had been speaking with had sounded lost and confused.

She was brought out of her thoughts when she heard one of the others working rescue comment about the cold.

"Am I imagining it or is it actually getting colder?"

This caused Maria to notice that it had gotten suddenly colder.

"No, it's colder than it was earlier," Maria answered.

"What do you think caused it?"

"I don't know. The person I was speaking to a little while ago said something about waking up surrounded by ice," Maria said.

"Do you think that maybe something that was being developed for temperature control or something may have gotten activated or something?"

"I don't think so. She said that it looked like a person had been inside of it," Maria answered.

"So maybe it was preserving a body or something. Maybe something to do with disease research?"

"Maybe. I hope that it's not airborne. If this area is exposed to some deadly contagion than it means taking man power that's needed to face the threat from Loki and whatever army he may have," Maria said.

"Lets hope it doesn't come to that."

Elsa tried to calm herself. The look on that man's face when he saw what she could do, it wasn't one of terror like that of her people. It was shock and surprise, but nothing like the fear she saw on the faces of her subjects and most if not all of the foreign dignitaries at her coronation when they saw her unleash her ice and snow powers a few nights ago.

'Conceal, don't feel! Conceal, don't feel!' she thought to herself as she continued to take deep breaths and several steps back until she was up against a wall. Immediately ice began to form on the surface. Elsa stepped away when she realized what she had done.

Elsa heard a noise coming from the direction where she had heard the woman's voice earlier. Turning she saw a brunette woman dressed in trousers, though not like the ones Elsa had ever seen.

When the woman saw Elsa she showed some surprise before composing herself.

"Who are you?" Maria asked.

Elsa recognized the woman's voice as that of the woman she spoke to earlier.

"I'm Elsa, ma'am. I believe we spoke a little while ago," Elsa answered stepping away, hoping to avoid hurting anyone else. She had already hurt enough people as it was.

"How did you get here?" Maria demanded.

"I don't know. One minute I was...somewhere else, next thing I know I'm waking up on the ground surrounded by ice and rubble. Where am I?" Elsa asked stepping back, only to back into another wall and cause ice to form when her hands touched it causing her to back away again. The whole time ice was forming on the ground around her.

Maria watched the young woman and when she saw the ice form where the young woman's hands touched the wall she finally noticed how ice was spreading on the ground around the young woman's feet. Not very many things surprised Agent Hill anymore, but this surprised her.

"Are you the one creating all of this ice?" Maria asked, just to be sure that it was actually this girl who was causing the ice to form and not something else; though it seemed quite obvious that it was this girl creating it.

"Yes, ma'am. I'm afraid so," Elsa said trying to remain calm so as not to cause anymore ice to form.

"Well that explains the ice," Maria commented. 'And possibly how she got here in the first place,' she added to herself.

"I'm terribly sorry," Elsa said as she tried to get her emotions and powers under control.

"It's alright. Just try to remain calm. I'm assuming that your powers are controlled by your emotions," Maria said.

"Yes they are, ma'am. I'll try," Elsa said. 'Conceal, don't feel. Conceal, don't feel!' she told herself again and again.

After a few moments she managed to calm herself down again though Elsa knew it wouldn't remain that way for very long. It never did.

"Thank you. Now can you please make this ice go away?" Maria asked.

"No, I'm afraid I can't," Elsa said. She could already feel the panic within her begin to build again.

'I have to get away from these people otherwise I might end up hurting them too,' Elsa thought to herself.

"I see," Maria said.

'This is going to be harder than I thought.'

So what do you all think?

Please review.

Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas and God bless.
