Fury didn't trust her, not that he trusted anyone but himself, but Cain, she had this aura of power around her. He had his agents place small cameras in her room, and audio equipment. Small bugs, undetectable to the untrained eye, and sometimes undetectable to the trained one.

He pulled up the security footage recorded and hit play.

Cain walked into the room and looked around.

"I wonder…" she muttered.

She went looking in drawers, until she stopped and lifted a piece of chalk.

She went to the mirror and drew a symbol.

"Surface speak, surface feel, surface think, surface real," then her reflection stepped out of the mirror. Cain smiled.

Fury pursed his lips, he had some calls to make.


Stark tower, New York-

The Avengers had already looked into the police reports, well, hacked-courtesy of Tony and had pulled a blank. There was nothing. Clint was angry, the physco who controlled him was free, and there was a new threat.

He was wondering how this powerful sorceress hadn't been detected before, SHIELD was surprisingly incompetent sometimes.

For the second time in one day the alarm went off.


Floor 52-

Valkyrie's reflection was sitting on the bed, while Valkyrie looked for any way out that was undetectable. The vents were too small, the door obviously out of the question and she was 52 floors up- so no window either.

Then the alarm went off.

"Go see what it is," she said to her reflection.

It nodded and left the room. When it did the power went out.

Valkyrie sighed and summoned a flame.


Main floor-

The Avengers were suited up and ready, Bruce was on standby.

The power went out in the tower which never happened. Soon after Valkyrie walked in, looking slightly dazed.

Poor thing Bruce thought.

He beckoned her over to him

When she got closer he realised there was something off, her eyes seemed devoid of life. He was given no time to ponder further as the door burst open and Loki walked in with another man- who was wearing sunglasses.

"How y'all doin'?" The other man said. He turned his gaze onto Valkyrie. "So Cain got another reflection?"

"Who are you?" Thor boomed.

"I'm Billy-Ray Sanguine, deluxe hit-man."


Sorry for the cliff hanger!
