In the morning I was the first to wake up, the fire was out so I went to get some more firewood and start another one so we could have some breakfast. I was still wrapped up in Loki's coat and a good thing too it was freezing! I walked around for a bit finally finding some suitable firewood but after I picked it up I noticed something on the tree in front of me, it was a scorch mark in the shape of a hand.

"What could have made this?" I muttered to myself as I moved closer to the mark, I lifted my hand to touch the mark and when I did I had a shooting pain in my head. I dropped the firewood I had collected and brought my other hand up to my head and clutched it as the pain seared through my brain. I closed my eyes at a bright flash of light and when I opened them I saw a girl tied from the ceiling by her wrists in some dark concrete room, there was another flash of light and I was back in the forest.

It took a few seconds for my senses to come back to me, that was when I realised there was someone watching me, getting closer by the second, soon I felt their hot breath on the back of my neck; I sucked in a quick breath, turned and kicked whoever it was in the chest. They would be winded at least, giving me a chance to run but when I looked down at the figure lying flat on its back I noticed it was Loki. "You can really pack a punch." He chuckled as he looked up at me from the floor. "Are you okay?" he asked getting up and walking up to me.

I was breathing heavily completely spooked by what I had seen and experienced, in the few seconds in which it had happened my arms were aching like I had been hung up like the girl I saw, I felt weak but what spooked me the most was that the girl she looked so much like me, but there was no way it could have been right?

"I'm fine… just tired." I replied to Loki who looked almost concerned. "Help me collect some firewood." I ordered, I could see Loki was ready to complain but when he looked at me he decided it was best not to and nodded. I let out the breath I didn't realise I had been holding when Loki turned and walked off to find firewood. I turned back to look at the scorch mark again but it had disappeared, "What the hell is going on here?" I thought to myself as I picked up the wood I had dropped and then followed Loki.

When we returned everyone was awake, "Where the hell have you been?" Dean demanded as Loki and I approached, "Well Dean I think the firewood in my hands explain that don't you?" Dean scowled but didn't question any more. I noticed Castiel was sat away from everyone else during breakfast so I went over to speak with him. "Hey Cas…" I smiled and handed him a can of beans, "I know it is not the best breakfast…" I laughed as did Castiel "You know I do not need this to survive." He said, "Yeah I know but it's polite." Castiel smiled something he doesn't do very often, and took the beans as I sat down next to him. "Cas… Something happened when I was collecting firewood." I played with the beans in my own tin whilst I spoke. "I saw a scorch mark on one of the trees, it was in the shape of a hand and when I touched it I saw something." I explained, "What was it, what did you see?" He asked me, "It was a girl, tied by her wrists and hanging from the ceiling, she looked so much like me Cas… it spooked me a little. It was as if I was looking in a mirror, but I was here at the same time, how can that be?" I was not easily spooked but for some reason I was terrified. "I don't know… maybe it has something to do with how you got here and why I was so injured when I transported Sam and Dean here to find you." Castiel frowned slightly, that frown he gets when he is thinking about something.

With Fury

"What do you mean they are not there?!" Fury shouted at the agents on the screen in front of him. The agents flinched slightly "When we landed we found the jet and searched the building but we can't find any sign of Loki, the girl or her friends." One of the agents explained, "That is impossible, there was no way they could have known we were coming!" Fury didn't understand but then it hit him like a tonne of bricks. "Banner…" he growled, he turned from the screen and marched out the room and down the corridor without another word.

The door to the lab opened and when Fury stormed in Tony and Bruce looked up from the screen they were working with. "You…" Fury pointed his finger at Bruce "… You warned her that we were coming and now we have lost her again." The two smirked a little as they straightened up, "And you Stark, you blocked out the agents from using our systems and let her get away too which makes you equally guilty." Tony sauntered around the desk "I'm sure we have no idea what you are talking about." He said his smirk widening. "You are part of this organisation; you should not be going against us!" Fury shouted, "We are The Avengers and we do what is right." Tony retorts "And you are beginning to make me angry… you know what happens when I am angry." Bruce stepped around the table as he spoke. "You are not just protecting that girl; don't you understand that you are also helping Loki escape?" Fury's tone had calmed down a bit at Bruce's threat. A dark shadow appeared over Fury and when he turned Thor was standing behind him. "We do understand this but I believe that Loki will not try to do anything when he is with this Emerald. He acts differently with her and I believe this will be good for him." Thor explained, Fury couldn't believe it, "Have you all gone mad?!" He threw his arms in the air to emphasise the words. "No… but maybe you need to go and see your healers as you do not look well." Thor said as he tilted his head to the side. Tony Chuckled slightly as did Bruce but Fury was not amused at all and just as he had stomped in he stomped back out going to find someone who had not lost their minds.

Back with Emerald

I was beginning to regret wearing a dark, long sleeved shirt as the sun's rays shone down on us creating an uncomfortable heat as we continued to walk on through the forest. It had been almost a week now since we had fled from S.H.I.E.L.D. and we still had not been found. Of course we still had not found a way out of the forest and we were running out of water with no sign of fresh water at all. "There is water ahead." I jumped when Castiel spoke, "Damn Cas… you scared me…" I mumbled as my hand rested above my heart and I took a few deep breaths. "How do you know?" Sam asked him, "I can hear it…" Castiel replied simply as if it was obvious. Sam should know better than to question Castiel.

After another hour or so we heard running water and soon the tall trees that we were all so bored with thinned out to finally show a large waterfall glistening under the midday sun. "Wow… that's amazing…" I said as I walked towards the pool beneath the waterfall, the water was crystal clear; I knelt down to the pool and put my hand in to scoop out some water. I brought my cupped hand up to my mouth and sipped lightly at the water that was pooled in my hand. "That is much better." I stood up and turned to the others who were just watching me, "it's cool and fresh!" Sam and Dean, who had wrapped their jackets around their waists because of the heat, smiled and moved towards the pool also and immediately began filling the empty water bottles back up.

"How can you walk about in this heat with that getup on?" I asked Loki and Castiel as they stood, looking as if the heat was not bothering them, "It's making me sweat just looking at you." I laughed as I began to take off my long sleeved shirt. I saw Loki raise an eyebrow at me and smirk just before I lifted the shirt over my head and I giggled a little. "What? You didn't think I was getting naked did you?" I asked tossing the shirt down on the ground next to the pool as Loki seemed almost disappointed when he noticed the vest I was wearing under the shirt.

It was truly amazing that Fury had not been able to find us yet and I thought it was time for a little fun for once. "I'm going for a swim." I said and pulled off my boots and jeans. "This is a bad idea." Sam said as I moved towards the water and took a few steps in, "You shouldn't be walking around like that! It's not decent!" Dean said shocked, "Dean we are all adults here and honestly I am wearing more than my actual swimming clothes so don't start." I knew Dean was just concerned because he was like family, if it had been any other woman he probably wouldn't have protested so much. I laughed and moved further into the cool water until I was waist deep which was when I turned back to the others who were just watching me, "Come on then! It's amazing the water is so cool." I shouted back to them, Sam and Dean just shook their heads and went back to checking our supplies; I turned to Castiel who had the smallest of smiles as he watched me but he declined also and Loki seemed to have disappeared. "I wonder where he is…" I thought to myself as I had a quick look around to see if he was about at all. I shrugged it off and dove under the water; when I came back up I was just in front of the waterfall and I saw something glowing behind it. "What the hell is that?" I whispered as I squinted trying to see the two green glowing orbs a bit better. I swam towards the waterfall never taking my eyes off of the orbs until I closed my eyes to go through the waterfall, once I was through the orbs had vanished but I did notice a cave hidden behind the waterfall so pulled myself out of the water. Out the corner of my eye I saw a dark mark upon the stone to my left; I walked over to it and moved my hand towards it but stopped when I realised what it was, another hand shaped scorch mark, I then remembered what I experienced the last time I touched it. I really didn't want to experience that again but at the same time I wanted to know what it was and what it meant and I needed to help that girl if nothing else. I closed my eyes and shook my head a bit, I knew this was a bad idea but I had to find out what was going on. "Here goes nothing…" I said to myself as I opened my eyes and touched the mark.

There was a blinding light and I closed my eyes tight, that was when the pain started, a shooting pain in my head then an ache in my arms. I opened my eyes, almost groggily as if I had been asleep or knocked out, I saw the girl again still hanging by her wrists, but it was a bit blurry, she seemed to be looking at me but her face was blurred. "Are you okay?" I asked, though I was unable to hear my own voice which scared me a little. The girl didn't answer so I blinked my eyes repeatedly trying to clear my vision so I could see her condition. When my vision began to clear I saw the girl, she could have been my twin, I saw her mouth move as if speaking and I heard her voice "Help… me…" her voice was cracking, but it wasn't her voice, it was my own, coming from my own mouth, now I felt it my mouth was dry almost like I had not had a drink in a long time. That girl was me I was looking into a mirror, I tried to look around. There was a pole along the mirrors in front of me. Could I be in an abandoned ballet studio? "You are a strong one…" A deep voice spoke, the last thing I saw before everything went black was a pair of glowing green eyes.

I opened my eyes and I was still standing with my hand on the wall in front of me, the scotch mark gone, "What the hell was that!" I asked myself. It was then that I noticed a presence behind me "Loki I thought I told you not to creep up on me…" I said as I turned to look at him but when I turned it was not Loki that I saw behind me, it was a man with glowing green eyes and pale, tattooed skin. His smile terrified me, I don't know why because I have seen some messed up stuff in my life but that twisted smile showing off sharp teeth just terrified me and I did something I didn't do very often. I screamed as I quickly moved to the side, tripping over a rock in the process. I felt dread as I fell towards the waterfall, I heard the man cackling as I crashed through the waterfall and hit the water on the other side.

Everything went black as my head hit a rock in the water.
