The next day Rose was escorted to a different part of wherever she was. The guards moved quickly and despite her usual swiftness she struggled to keep up with them. She couldn't remember the last time she'd eaten, as all they'd allowed her in her prison was a few glasses of water. When they sat her at a table with a plate full of food in front of her and told her to go ahead she didn't stop to assess the situation as she usually would and instead ate as much as she could. If it was poisoned she didn't care.

Loki stood outside the room watching her. There was nothing special about her, when pushed to her limits she succumbed to human instinct and dismissed the idea of danger. He would have been able to withstand the temptation long enough to make sure he wasn't being tricked, but then that's how his mind worked. Always looking out for the catch.

When she'd finished he went and sat opposite her.

"Thank you."

"What for?" Loki was confused, he had imprisoned her and starved her for nearly a week now and she was thanking him. He thought he understood humans.

"Not poisoning the food." Her mouth twitched into the smallest of smiles. If he had blinked he would have missed it.

"I was tempted." He narrowed his eyes leaning forward. "I believe you will be of use, I shall not be disposing of you yet."

"Oh brilliant, delayed death. I guess we all die one day. Right?" She really did confuse him in a way no one had ever done before. He chuckled to himself.

"I forgot you're immortal. Well there must be a way for you to die. Let's face it you've tried to kill Thor, so you Gods can't be as untouchable as we mere mortals believe."

Once again he was caught off guard. She knew too much about him and he knew too little about her. He'd had Agent Barton tell him all about the Agents that were still working against him, but forgot entirely about the one he had locked up down the corridor. For some reason he'd wanted to find it out for himself rather than invade her privacy and yet here she was invading his without question.

"What is your name?"

"Rose Winters." She surveyed him carefully. "Did you really not know the answer?"

"Ah Agent Winters." To Loki's relief he did know something about her. "You and I are not so different I hear. Agent Barton did mention your history briefly. As I hear you sought revenge and murdered a few people. How can you judge me when you're no better."

"They tortured me!" She slammed her fist on the table standing up. "They deserved it." She snarled.

Loki's eyes lit up. She certainly was different to the others.

"I can understand. Please…" He waved his hand in a motion for her to explain.

"I was at university in England studying medical science. One day during an experiment something went horribly wrong. The equipment we were working on exploded. The dry ice we were using to cool one of the chemicals spilt all over me. I should have had frost burn all over me but wherever the ice had touched had turned blue."

Loki froze his eyes widening. She didn't notice as she was in a world of her own now and continued.

"Of course when we saw that, we were all baffled. I'd never been good with heat but this was entirely new. I agreed for them to run some tests and work out what was wrong with me. What a stupid idea." She shook her head the anger welling up again.

"As soon as I'd agreed they locked me away, treated me like a monster. They had no concern for how much they were hurting me. People who were once my friends now tested their theories on me and it didn't matter if they had ethical approval or not as I wasn't human to them." Angry tears had formed and she swiped a stray one from her cheek.

"I managed to escape, it was a fluke they'd forgotten to lock me away that night. I don't know how I did it, I was so angry everything was a bit of a blur but I killed them, all of them. Even people not directly involved. That was when S.H.E.I.L.D picked me up."

Loki watched as another tear rolled down her cheek. She couldn't be. It wasn't possible. Surely he would have known, would have felt it? He knew there was something different but he thought it was her defiance. Not the idea that she could also be a Frost Giant. He shook his head. She was too tiny to be one. He was considered small and he still towered above her.

"What do you remember of your childhood?" His words came out frantically. Rose looked up at him, confusion spread across her face. "Perhaps it could explain your condition."

"My condition?" She closed her eyes and breathed deeply. He wasn't the one experimenting on her. She needed to calm. "Sorry."

"No I apologise, I did not mean to make it out as something bad."

"As far as I know I am an orphan. I was sent from home to home as a child before moving in with a friend at sixteen." She paused for a moment opening her mouth to say something but stopping.

"Are you okay?" She finally blurted out. "It's just your usually pale but you're ghostly right now and I don't know if you've noticed your mouth is hung open. It doesn't seem like you." Her brows were furrowed as she watched him.

"I… uh…" He shook his head. "Have you heard of the Frost Giants?"

"Sort of. Aren't you one?" Loki nodded slowly.

"I think you might be one too."

So first off thank you to everyone who reviewed and what not. I really appreciate it! Secondly I hope you enjoy it. I had an idea of Roses back story but it kind of came to me while writing that I should make her a Frost Giant! Seemed to fit somehow! And finally have a wonderful day/ night x
