What is this I spy? A plot?! *melodramatic gasp*

sconesRtasty - UPDATED And if you saw I updated Consulting Heroes why didn't you review? :(

Disclaimer: I do not own anything Marvel. I only own the Golden Trio and my cliché villain that shows up in this chapter.

Elizabeth: We bought ourselves, remember?

Me: Whatever

For me, my awakening came when I was kidnapped. -Patty Hearst

"Steve!" the child cried out. "Why am I a little girl! What's going on!"

Steve blinked. So Parker was back? And she didn't remember anything? "Er…Parker?"

"Yeah?" she asked, clearly responding to her nickname.

"What's the last thing you remember?" he inquired, coming into the room and flicking on the light. A yellow hue shone through the room, illuminating everything.

Parker paused, swimming through her memories. "Eating schwarma with the rest of the trio and the rest of the Avengers," she managed. Parker looked around. "Speaking of which, why am I at Stark Tower and not in my apartment?"

Steve sat down on the edge of the bed. "Stark and Dr. Banner wanted to keep an eye on you until this ordeal was overcome. Do you really not remember any of it?" Parker shook her head, unclear on the situation. "Well…Loki attacked the restaurant and turned you, Elizabeth, and Falda into kids. Them teenagers and you a four year old. After a while, you alone lost your memories. A few days ago, Loki showed up to cure you guys. Falda tackled him in the middle of the spell and you became five, Elizabeth became six, and Loki did too. JARVIS told me that you'd aged a year overnight so I came to check on you." He gestured to her. "Here's what happened."

Parker sat in silence, lips pursed into a thin line, thinking. She looked up at Steve and eventually spoke. "So what's the date?" she asked.

"Christmas." He looked at the clock. Two thirty-three. "Make that December twenty-sixth."

The edges of Parker's mouth were tugged downward into a frown and she then made a pouting face. "I can't believe I missed Christmas," she muttered. She looked at the end of the bed and spotted Gladstone for the first time. "Wait, is that an Australian Shepard puppy?" Parker asked, pointing at the dog. He looked up and loped over to her from across the bed. Gladstone got close to her and looked at his owner, licking her hands in affection.

"Stark got him for you for Christmas. You named him Gladstone." Parker raised an eyebrow. "Falda said it was from memories resurfacing. Is that the case?"

Parker slowly nodded, scratching behind the puppies ears. "Yep. Never heard of the name Gladstone 'til I was…twelve."

With Parker back, tests went faster. Bruce and Tony worked on finding a cure for the de-age and Loki and Elizabeth continued to fight each other. Parker didn't really understand why they bullied each other. One night, she went to bed and things continued normally. When Parker awoke, she felt as if something was off; she couldn't put her finger on it. Her eyes were still closed, but the bed felt different. She rolled into her stomach and her face sunk into her pillow. She inhaled deeply through her nose. Now Parker knew something was terribly wrong. The bedding smelled different than the bedding in her room at Stark Tower. Parker felt queasy merely thinking about the result of these observations. She wasn't at Stark Tower anymore.

"Come on!" said a babying, cooing voice. "Wake up! Wake up for your daddy!" Parker's eyes shot open. She got a bit tangled in her sheets as she began to panic. She knew that voice. She knew that voice all too well.

Parker looked up with wide eyes and saw a man. He wore a black suit with a white shirt and blue tie. His dark brown hair was neatly combed and his hazel eyes were staring down Parker. He had a grin on his face that made Parker sick.

This was Jack Dakota.

This was one of Golden Trio's worst enemies.

Parker glared at the man. Hatred began to boil in her chest. It started to spread although out her body into every fiber of her being. She could feel her heart thumping loudly in her chest. There was no way she could take Jack down with the strength of a six year old. She was trapped; kidnapped by her archnemesis. "Good morning, Marie," he said with a smile.

Parker's glare hardened as she shot daggers at him with her stares. "The name's Nightingale," Parker said. It came out as more of an inhuman growl. "But if you insist on calling me by any other name than my alter ego, call me Parker."

Jack tsk tsked in disapproval. "No no, Marie. You don't get to be Nightingale or Parker anymore. I won't let you. And you have to do what I say, because I'm your daddy now."

Parker raised an eyebrow but she wasn't quite sure why. Confusion? Surprise? "Excuse me?"

"I've adopted you!" Jack said with a grin. "Well…illegally that is. But when do I ever do anything legal?"

"And…why did you…adopt me?"

"Because you're sooooooooo cuuuuuuute at this age! Plus a lot less of a threat and a lot more vulnerable." Jack stuck with his response and sounded very serious and sure about it.

Parker doubted she could possibly look any more bemused than she did at that point. A smile slowly crept onto her face before she burst out laughing. "Y-You?" she asked between laughing and gasps for air. "Adopt m-me because I-I'm c-cute?" Parker laughed even harder.

Jack's expression hardened. "It's not nice to laugh at Daddy!" Parker bit her lip and tried not to laugh again. Her face was bright red. She burst and began to laugh again. "I told you not to laugh at Daddy!" Parker didn't listen to her enemies orders and continued to laugh out loud. "Marie Kendra Dakota, you stop your giggling this instant!"

Parker stopped instantly and her eyes widened because of shock, confusion, and anger. "Dakota? Dakota?! I refuse to be– Hang on…how do you know my middle name?"

Jack straightened himself. "I do research on each of my enemies. For example: Lily Jade Falda, AKA Crystal. Powers are ice manipulation on super speed. Somehow didn't exist until 2003." Parker's face paled significantly at this. Did he know? He couldn't! No one knew! "In fact, none of the Golden Trio existed until 2003. But you're not a Golden Trio member anymore, Daddy won't let you be."

"You're not my dad!" Parker said, throwing her hands up into the air.

"Don't you dare say that, Marie. I'm your daddy now. Don't worry, I promise you'll grow up nicely. I'll teach you all about how to be an evil villain." Parker groaned and fell back into her bed. "Avengers…either rescue me…or someone kill me now!"

Jack shook his finger at Parker. "Now now, we'll have none of that." He picked up the child and Parker growled. She began kicking wildly and managed to land one right where it hurts. After taking a few moments to recover, Jack scowled disapprovingly at Parker. "That's it," he said. "You get a time out." He carried her to the main room and put her down on the sofa. "You're not allowed to leave this spot until I say you can." He gave her a stern look and Parker returned it with an expression that said: 'You really think I'm gonna?' Jack knew what this look meant. "If you move I'll give you a longer time out and you'll get punished." Parker squirmed. Punished? What did he mean by punished?

-(::)-

All current occupants of Stark Tower were gathered in the living room. Elizabeth sighed loudly. "It's him, Lily, it has to be," she said, fiddling with the kidnapping note in her hands.

"No," said Lily, who was pacing the room. "No, it can't be him. He's been quiet for three years."

"Am I allowed to ask who you're talking about?" wondered Clint.

"Jack," answered Elizabeth. "Jack Dakota. Our archnemesis. Most likely, anyway. I mean, we've made lots of enemies."

"He's insane," said Lily. "I swear, he's either mentally unstable, does some kind of drug, or is just somehow flat out strange! He's barking mad!"

"Well what do you think he has planned for Parker?" asked Bruce.

Lily shook her head. "Dunno. But we need to find her. We need to!"

…The characters refused to be in my A/N…they're mad at me for letting Jack kidnapping Parker…

I imagine Jack being played by Andrew Scott. :) I just think he'd do an awesome job XD Please tell me if you agree on this :)

**What actors do you think the the Golden Trio/Jack Dakota would be played by? I'll try to add more description on them.
