I do not own the Avengers! I wish I did because that would be so awesome! If y'all have any questions for either me, my OC's or the Avengers either post it in the review or send it to me in private messenger and we will answer it before the story continues in each chapter.

Everyone: Ugh! Why do we have to do that!? We work so hard already!

You haven't done anything but find out about each other calm down.

On the roof of the Avengers Tower

Loki's thoughts: The last time I was up here was three years ago when I tried to take over the world and the Avengers stopped me. Now that I look back I'm glad they did because if they hadn't then I would never have met my daughter. Hell Aphrodite would hate me for killing our only child.

In front of Kassandra and Loki stood a tall, curvy woman with golden hair, deep blue eyes, a gorgeous tan, and a tight purple dress that accented her curves even more.

"Hello, Loki. It's been a long time, almost twenty-one years if I remember right. How have you been?" Aphrodite asked sarcastically.

"I-I've been good. W-why didn't you tell me I had a daughter? I told you I wanted a child and I want to have one with you. Why didn't you tell me we were having a child!?" Loki asked a little angry at the end.

"I did not tell you of Kassandra because I knew our families would not approve of our relationship and that would put Kassandra in even more danger. She does not need even more Gods trying to kill her. Several of the Titans have already tried to kill her and her friends. Her adopted parents died protecting her last year" Aphrodite replied in a calm tone.

"Father, mother told me that if I ever chose that I wanted to meet you that she would allow it and would do her best to protect me. It has taken me seventeen years to finally come to terms with the fact that by meeting you I would not only put myself in even more danger but those I cared about as well. I have grown stronger than people suspect in my twenty years on this earth and I am finally willing to get to know you because I know that I can protect the ones I care about. Do not just be angry at mother be angry with me as well if you are really going to be angry" Kas defended her mother.

"Kas I am not angry I am just surprised that you were hidden from me, but I now see that it was also your choice. Even though I have not had your mothers luck to watch you grow up I still love you and I will also protect you and those you care about from anyone who wants to harm you and your friends because you are my daughter" Loki said looking down into his daughters eyes that were pleading for his help.

"I think that since we have everything sorted out I should be going before Hephaestus says something to Zeus about my disappearance. I love you Kas and I will talk to you soon. Loki please take care of our daughter she has more of me in her than any of my other children. I love her with all my heart and would not be able to handle it if she was killed" Aphrodite pleaded with Loki as she flew off towards Olympus.

"Come on Kas we should get back to the others. Plus, this place brings back a part of me that I do not wish to think about" Loki said to his daughter as he placed a hand on her shoulder to transport themselves back downstairs.

Back downstairs

"Dad?"

"Yes, Kas?" Loki responded to his daughter.

"How are you feeling with this sudden news that you have a twenty year old daughter?" Kas asked her father.

"I'm still a little sad that I couldn't watch you grow up but I'm glad I even get the chance to get to know you. I may barely know you but I hope that Dom is a good enough demigod for you because I don't want to see you get hurt" Loki said to Kas.

"Dad he's been in my life for almost seven years and Rachael hasn't pushed him out yet. He has protected me from so much and has helped me through so much. He thinks he isn't good enough for someone as powerful as me but he is. He is the one and if he isn't then he will always be my best friend. I love him, father, and he loves me" Kas said with an enchanting smile on her face.

"I'm glad he is so good to you and I'm glad you've had these three friends with you for the time you have. They are the type of people that you need and I know that if I am not around they will protect you when I can't" Loki said with love in his voice.

Loki hugs his daughter and kisses her on top of her head before getting up to speak with Hawkeye. As Loki leaves Dom, Rach, and Alex come over to where Kas is sitting on the couch. Dom sits on the left side of his girlfriend and pulls her into his arms as Rach sits to her right and Alex sits on the coffee table in front of her. Kas has a mixed look of sad and tired on her face.

"Sandra, you look tired and warn out how about we get Tony to show us our room so we can go to sleep. The last time you didn't get enough sleep you almost blew the power grid in L.A. because you couldn't control your powers" Dom said to her as she nodded in agreement.

"Tony, can you show us to our room? Kas is getting really tired and the last time she didn't get enough sleep she almost took out L.A.'s power grid because she couldn't control her powers. And before you ask yes we are going to share the same room. We have been together for seven years and living together for five. I am the only one that can keep her nightmares from causing her powers to go out of control" Dom said in a tone that made him seem older than he was.

"Alright, but tomorrow you tell us about the nightmares. There might be something I can do that can help keep the nightmares away all together" Tony said as he lead them to the elevator and too their room.

Kassandra's dream: A blonde girl stands in a wedding dress with a gun to her back being forced to marry a man who was holding her prisoner. She is then taken to a bedroom inspired by the king of the Savanna, the Lion, and sedated. The next thing she remembers is a girl shaking her awake and then there being two of the guy that she had just been forced to marry. It then flashes to a little boy biting her.

(Kassandra wakes with a scream and a gasp)

"What's wrong?" Dom questioned Kas sleepily.

"I remember it…" she replied shakily.

"Remember what?" he questioned more awake this time.

(Looking at Dom) "How I got into that dress Rachael found me in. About a day before y'all showed up I was held at gun point by several of Aeron's female guards, put into that dress, and walked to a room where I was forced to marry him and then I was taken to that room and sedated heavily" Kas answered still scared.

"Baby it's over he's gone. I'm here to protect and love you until the end of time. Nothing will happen to you again I promise" Dom tried to comfort his girlfriend.

"I don't think it's over though, I have this feeling deep down that he's not really gone" Kas said trying to sound less scared.

"I know I feel it too. Go back to sleep. I'm right here. He's not getting you tonight" Dom said to his girlfriend as he placed a gentle kiss on her lips and pulled her even more into his arms so all she felt was the warmth he gave off.

The next morning in the kitchen of the Avengers tower

"Hey Kas are you okay? I heard you screaming in the middle of the night and then the temperature dropped ten degrees in the whole building and JARVIS couldn't correct it" Tony asked a little concerned.

"I had a flashback of something that happened a couple of years ago. It's actually one of the reasons Dom and I moved in together because he was the only one that could comfort me when I have nightmares about what happened" Kas explained to Tony.

"What happened?" Tony asked yet another question.

Gods he really never stops asking questions does he!? "Well when y'all were fighting my dad and his alien army we were dealing with our own attack in L.A. when we went home to visit our families. I used to be friends with this guy named Aeron. We're still friends with his twin David. I knew him almost as long as I had known Rachael and he flew out with us. Well long story short he kidnapped me and I ended up in Italy. He forced me to marry him and he bit me causing me to turn into a vampire. Yes I know that sounds scary as shit and now you're worried about the safety of everyone here, but I am no longer one we reversed it. Dom, Rach, Alex, and our adopted families came in and rescued me. We believe we killed Aeron but I have a feeling we might end up hearing from him again" Kas finished their story, and looked frightened again.

"Baby, breath! Breathe! KAS YOU HAVE TO BREATH! He's gone and if he comes back we have people here that are going to help us!" Dom yelled as Kas started to hyperventilate and then passed out.

Dom picked up the unconscious demigod and took her to the medical room so he could tend to her. As he sets her down on the bed Bruce walks in.

"What happened?" Bruce asked panicked.

"She had an anxiety attack and passed out. The last time this happened she was out for two days. She cares more for others health than her own so she continually puts herself in physical and mental danger all the time" Dom said with concern in his voice as he shakes his head.

"Do you think this one is going to be worse?" Bruce asked noting the concern in Dominick's voice.

"I-I don't know. But she hasn't slept well for about three months. She may not pull out of this as soon as she has before, I feel that she may not wake for a week" Dom said trying to hide the tears that were forming in his eyes.

"Hey, hey, hey. It's okay we'll do everything we can do to help coax her out of this" Bruce said as he placed a hand on the shacking demigods shoulder. Thunder and lightning began to rage outside as Dominick broke down for the first time in years. Thor, Tony, and Loki came rushing into the medical room both because they knew the storm was because of Dominick and because Tony had told them what happened to Kassandra.

"Is my daughter okay?" Loki asked with worry etching his features.

"I am not sure but her vitals are normal based what they normally are." Dominick informed his soon to be father-in-law and then finally worked up the nerve to ask, "Umm Loki, Sir? May I speak to you alone?"

"Sure thing my boy. How about we walk down to this little shop down the street I think you'll want to go to and we can talk on the way. Just let me get changed first" Loki said as he turned to leave.

"Tony, Thor, Bruce when you feel she is stable enough to move can you take her back to our room? It would be better for her to wake up in our room rather than in a medical room. I have to make a call before I talk to Loki" Dominick said as he left the room before the men could respond he pulled out his phone and dialed T.J.

"Hey, T.J. it's D. I've got a question for you." Dominick said to T.J. a little nervous.

"If you're about to ask me if you can marry my little sister the answer is what the hell took you so long? Y'all have been together for seven years and have been living together for five. Of course you can marry her! You're already family man!" T.J. answered the question that Dominick was about to ask.

"Thanks man. I'm going to ask Loki today. I wanted to ask you first because you've been in her life the longest." Dominick said with a smile.

"You're welcome bro well I got to get back to this workout tell me how it goes and tell Loki I said what's up." T.J. said as he hung up.

Twenty minutes later Loki and Dominick were standing outside a small jewelry store. Dominick looked at Loki with surprise and confusion.

"Son don't look at me like that. I know how long you too have been together and I know you are going to ask me for her hand in marriage and the answer is yes. Now let's buy my daughter am engagement ring." Loki said with a mischievous smile on his face.
