A new team 20
( Previously)
She and her father disappeared faster than Tony could argue.
(Present)
Skye sighs as she brings her father to a abandoned house that she once stayed at in New York City, Loki groans from the headache that the drug gave him " Father are you alright?" Loki fakes a smile and replies " Of course Shakina... I mean Skye... That name will take some getting use to I must admit." Skye smirked as she sat down and replied " Okay... Spill I want to know why you weren't there when I was born and my mother was killed... And how did the Protectors manage to abduct you? You're far more powerful then I am with what we here call illusion and magic." Loki sat down head leaning up against the wall and spoke " As you know I am known as the god of mischief and lies but I am also good at illusion... Nearly twenty five years ago I used a secret pathway from Asgard and turned up here on mid guard . I met your mother and fell in love, her name was Maylyn... One night we consummated our ... Ummmm love and a week later she turned up pregnant. I was overjoyed but three months before you were born I was forced to return to Asgard in fear that my father would find out. It was six months before I came to mid guard again and by then I discovered your mothers village burned to the ground in ash and you were no where to be found... I looked and looked on and off for twenty years till all the events in the past five years came to light."
Skye is rubbing her head and asks "Why did you try to rule over earth? It's my home and my mothers... I was in New York when the battle happened ... In fact I was right outside this building when it all started. If the Avengers and some of SHIELD hadn't stopped you when they did I don't think I would be here... your madness would of cost my life!" She sounds extremely annoyed and her father frowns " Had I known I wouldn't of participated in Thanos' plans... Skye I don't ever want you to be harmed as much as I barely know you I love you more than life itself." Skye impassively says " I want to trust you fully but you have to earn it, but you have earned my trust enough that I will protect you against SHIELD. You know Uncle cares about you greatly... It is not fair that you have ruined your relationship with him as family by being jealous... You are technically the leader of Jutonhiem and Asgard should be your brothers rule not yours." Loki looks taken back and scolds " See here young lady I am your father and you have no right to-" Skye crosses her arms as she gets to her feet and stares at him very unpleased he clears his throat and restarts " Daughter you have knowledge above your years I am impressed ... You do realize that you are a princess of both Asgard and Jutonheim ? " Skye impassively replies "Yes I have become aware of that fact."
Loki evilly grins " Your friends must be worried about you, why do they seem so much more guarded of you then yesterday?" Skye turns away from him and replies " Because I showed them parts of my past and I was honest with them last night about someone we ran into. I would rather fry the guy than avoid him haha I guess I get that instinct from you, but I let him leave. Father may I ask you something?" Loki nods " Can you show me what you look like as a frost giant ? Only your powers are disabled you should be able to show me since it's in your genes." she looks to him in a pleading but curious manner and he sighs " Daughter frost giants are quite hideous I do not wish to scare you..." Skye calmly walked up to him and said " It's who you are partly... You're my father I can never be scared of you." she gave him a reassuring smile and Loki closed his eyes and his face and skin began to turn blue he opened his eyes to see her reaction. The hacker stared intently at her father before grinning " See your not scary... Now I am going to set up a field a electricity field around you that will last approximately twelve hours... You must stay here till your powers have come back once they do call to me so I can release the field." she said with care emanating from her eyes.
"Ha I need no protection I am a god ... But if you insist very well daughter I shall do as you say." He spoke self righteously before understanding that his daughter was concerned for him. Skye hugged him as his blue skin turned normal human color and she whispered " Please be safe... I have work to do." She disappears. Meanwhile Stark, Romanoff, Barton, Steve and Thor arrive at the tower after handing over their attackers to SHIELD agents , they get to the lounge on the 12th floor and immediately everyone goes emotionless as they see the Director and Deputy Director along with Agent Colson and his team , everyone was present except the hacker Skye. "Director Fury as I said before Skye is not happy with SHIELD at the moment especially after you tried to forcibly take her from this team." says Agent Colson sadly and the Director fumes " She doesn't have to be happy with SHIELD I don't care what she feels about us but that hacker will be leaving with us!" he exclaims making everyone but Colson darken their features. " With all due respect Director and Deputy director this is Skye's life she is not a threat in fact she is keeping Loki from killing and causing trouble... She is a asset that right now is more valuable than ever." Says Agent May emotionlessly and Director Hill replied " Agent May the Director has made his decision... Where is Skye?" Everyone is silent till Thor speaks " My niece is of no threat to Mid guard ... leave her be or I will carry out my threat." he narrows his eyes at the directors and their dozen agents.
Fury gets in front of Hill and said " Thor this is none of your concern... Stark where is Skye?" Tony Stark shrugs " You can't contain a free spirit such as Skye... But you can ask JARVIS he has the most advanced locating system on the planet." he says hiding a smile from the annoyed director. " JARVIS Deputy Director Hill activate order Alpha Charlie Fox Trot one one twelve delta ... Search Skye." Says Director Hill crossing her arms remaining impassive at Starks enraged face " You're forbidden from overriding my authority over JARVIS unless it's considered a matter of a Earths destruction! JARVIS ignore her orders !" he growls and two agent step forward ready to some how detain Iron Man if need be . " Sorry Sir... Your authority has been overridden... Director Fury I am unable to locate Skye. According to my records only one person other than Loki can locate Skye." Replies the AI and both directors look to each other before Hill asked " Who is that?" Everyone's quiet and Bruce steps back hand in his pocket clutching the pin drive. And JARVIS says " Dr. Banner has a way of locating Skye in the case of emergencies."
Both Directors look to Bruce and ask " Dr. banner?" And he crosses his arms " Not helping you Sir... This in no way qualifies as a emergency therefore No Sir." he says with a threat lingering in his arms. Everyone smiles at Bruce's courage, " This is insubordination! Just tell us where the hacker is so we can take her!" Growls Fury . Suddenly Skye's voice startles everyone " I See the pirate is back!" she says through gritted teeth as electricity is made known running up and down her arms . Everyone turns and sees how angry she is even with a sling on she looks ready to beat up the director, Steve speaks " Director it would be best if you leave... Immediately." The director shakes his head and nods to Hill who quickly draws her side arm and shoots her with two tranquilizing darts. Skye stares at the darts as she pulls them out in shock before she growls " Wrong Move Directors! I ask you to leave me alone and yet you don't you are convinced I am a threat and now you will understand!" Her eyes turn emerald stone and she breaks her arm free of the sling electricity surges through her body as she sends bolts of electricity around them. The avengers look between the hacker and the directors and no one particularly wants to intervene . The dozen agents start shooting at her , she surrounds herself with her electricity field as she yells at the agents " This is not your fight! Stand down or I will be forced to defend myself!" The agents ignored her and continued to fire at her, she sighed and sent a electricity wall big enough to consume them and only shock them enough to knock them out.
Skye looks to the directors as they look to Colson " Colson get your hacker under control!" Yells Fury behind cover " Director you asked for this when you didn't heed my nieces warnings! You threatened a member of two royal families in the galaxy she is far to powerful therefore it is unwise to threaten her!" yells Thor gesturing every word he says with his hammer. Skye pins both directors to the wall and raises her hand with a ball of lightning several Avengers now move to stop her but she surrounds herself and the directors with a field as she angrily speaks " You want me to be like Loki?! I CAN SHOW YOU WHAT LOKI WOULD DO!" She gets her anger under control and says " Ir I can show you why I would never be like him." She sends all the images of abuse, rape, torture that she has experienced into their minds then she sends all they great times with her team and the small amounts of fun with the avengers into both Directors minds. They are breathing heavily as they see the abuse she went through as a child and teenager, everything is so real and as soon as they weave through all the memories Hill looks to her in shock in pity while Fury looks at her with curiosity " I would die before becoming evil like them and I would rather die than massacre like my father did! Just because we are blood related doesn't give you the right to assume that I will become a mad man like my father "
She releases the field allowing everyone to hear her " I am not my father! I despise what he did but his actions should never reflect upon me. I have known pain , torture and abuse ninety percent of my life, but I overcame all the anger and all the bitterness and found something to keep me sane... My humanity. I look for the good in people and use that to reflect them instead of their actions... Director Fury it's buried deep but you have kindness in you and Deputy Director Hill you have seen the ghosts I have seen I saw it in your eyes when I showed you my past... Both of you are good ... That's why I didn't kill you because you deserve the same chance that everyone else gets from me." She releases them and says" Hear what I say now ... Your actions have proven that SHIELD wants nothing more then to put others like me with skills or a bad parentage in cages or on leashes therefore I will not join SHIELD. Earth is my home but I will not be treated like a criminal because I am half alien and half human. I have done nothing but defend myself and protect others from my fathers wrath and I deserve some respect for doing so. I have been through hell in the last ninety six hours. I have so much berserker rage inside of me that honestly the worst thing you could do is provoke me . Director I will be of assistance to SHIELD like the Avengers are but I will not be SHIELD, this is my decision and I suggest you honor it." Her eyes are narrowed and her arms crossed everyone stared at her with pride, Shock, amazement and support as Steve stepped up " Director Skye will be joining Avengers if she wants to but you have lost much respect from us." The two directors look at each other before Hill says " Skye we apologize for our actions... What shall we call you now that your a Avenger?"
Skye smiles as she disappears and reappears beside Hill " Emerald Shadow or Flaming Emerald which ever sticks." Natasha smiles and says " How about the Flaming Shadow?" The hacker thinks then replies " Perfect ... The Flaming Shadow it is... Now Directors I would really appreciate you and your men leaving immediately. And in all honesty Pirate I expect to see director Hill from now on... With all did respect ." Fury raises his good eyebrow and replied " I guess I can understand that Skye... Welcome to the Avengers Flaming Shadow and we will be in touch."
( yes a long chapter but I was just sooooo into it :-) please let me know what you thought of Skye's attitude and please review.)
