The brunette opened her eyes slowly while pulling at the ties, the panic began to set in. The young woman saw the IV drip and relaxed at the sight. Realization dawned on her she was no longer on the mission Loki had assigned her.

The room was dim all but a small light by her side and a vase of lilies.

A flash of pain ripped through her stomach. Seph yelled out provoking the attention of the man she had first come under care. It seemed like a lifetime ago when in reality it had only been a week or two at most.

"Hold on miss" he said injecting her, dulling her senses.

A memory unraveled before her eyes. She saw red and the kick of a S.H.I.E.L.D agent landing on her abdomen. She tried to see past that but couldn't, the panic returned.

"What happened why can't I remember?" she sighed before falling back into sleep.

She knew a huge battle was coming; the facility they had ransacked was mostly empty. She had managed to grab some of S.H.I.E. files but not before another monitor had caught her attention. There in bold letters she saw her father's name under a list of Hydra members. Whoever Hydra was they seemed to be an enemy of the intelligence agency. She scrolled down to family. She was pronounced dead the day of the museum benefit. She saw a series of articles all by her father's publicist who stated they had lost their daughter that day. The articles portrayed them as a loving family, lies she thought.

Her father's indifference for her had always hurt her but this was the ultimate betrayal. She willed tears to go away her knees felt weak and her stomach was in knots. She took a deep breath, she thought about her life about her parents. She wanted to shut it all off to forget about what it meant to care. She envied Loki in that instant, she was just a little human with pitiful needs but she could only take so much.

"Enough" she whispered.

Why should she care what happens to her parents, for that matter society who would no doubt she her as a freak a genetic anomaly.

Her inner monologue was cut short when she heard the alarms.

She woke to the screams of a man, another voice roused her, "Idiots all of you, move now"

The door of the small room opened revealing Loki, "Dove…" he paused. His eyes moved to the floor as if he was building up the courage to stare up at her.

"Loki, I told you I wasn't ready" her hoarse voice trailed off the brunettes' throat felt like it was on fire.

He looked up before snapping back down as a child who had done something he shouldn't have done.

The former prince was flooded with shame and guilt. The small woman was bruised in consequence of his demands. Now she was broken on the outside as well. He grew angry at his own weakness.

"Quiet" he snapped at her he was ashamed of himself for feeling such human emotion such human nonsense he told himself.

The emotions shook him to his core.

"You're nothing, you are human" he whispered before rubbing a cold thumb against her cheek. Even in her sickly state he thought her radiant. He shouldn't have put her in this danger; by all means he should take her back to her family to the life he couldn't give her. But much like Hades he had grown attached with the abducted woman, his spring time goddess. He longed to protect her hurt all those who had hurt her.

She stared perplexed in her weak state she wasn't sure how to take his statement part of her agreed with him another part wanted to bite his finger off. She was stronger than he knew.

"Then you should've let me die" she said with fire in her belly. The Norse god clenched his jaw that's not what he meant by the comment. He was trying to suppress all of it but he couldn't help the stirring the human brought out in him.

"No you belong to me" he gritted his eyes flashed with feral emotion.

A small smile came upon her face, damn the masochist in her she thought.

The scientist interrupted, "My king, there is a pressing matter"

"In a minute" he paused, "Will she alright?"

"If my calculations are correct… no" came the cool reply. The scientist showed no emotion but continued to take her vitals. "Unless..."

With a click of his tongue Loki ushered Selvig out of the room.

"I guess I am as useless as you all thought" she said with pain.

He was at her side again the scepter manifesting besides him, "No Loki please don't" "I'll serve you but please don't use that thing on me"

"If I don't you you'll die. Do you hear me?" he grabbed her face the tone of his voice softer than before.

"I don't want to be like them" she cried the tears falling on her sickly cheeks.

"Nor would I see you as the rest" he couldn't hold back the guilt displayed on his face for the brunette to see.

" It would only be for a couple of days, once you are healed I can relinquish hold of you"

She trashed once more in the bed. There was no fighting it her destiny seemed to be leading her to serve Loki. She knew she had started fighting for him already even if she wouldn't to admit to herself. She wondered what had happened that she couldn't remember. Somehow everything had changed. Loki had saved her he kept trying to save her even when she had failed him.

"Promise me one thing" she challenged the trickster.

"Don't let me die in that form" her eyes opened in fear.

He nodded. "Once more just one more taste," he leaned in taking her lips onto his. She responded weakly letting Loki take her away from the pain even if it was for a few seconds.

The scepter met her heart, a rush of energy coursed thru her body. Her wounds were healing closing and her head felt lighter. An abrupt inflow shocked her, the brunette felt herself fading. Was this retribution she thought before passing out again.

She heard Loki yell out her name once more before meeting the darkness.

She had died or so she was telling herself. Seph was shocked to awaken she waited for the pain to come to her as it did every time she began to wake. She opened one eye; Selvig was once more next to her.

Her hand grabbed his wrist releasing it when she heard his groan of pain. There was no pain for her she felt strong, invincible almost.

Sephone was already out of bed before Selvig tried to stop her, "What do you think you are doing?" he said with more emotion than she had ever seen.

"I'm getting out of this room to see Loki and not you or anyone is stopping me" with a snarl she had lifted the scientist in the air and away from the door.

She was surprised to see that the rest of Loki's army stayed out of her way. She had made her way to the warehouse before her reflection had caught her attention. Her normally hazel eyes had turned a vibrant green, emerald even she thought they would be the same blue as Selvig and the rest.

With a shrug she entered the warehouse warranting the attention of Loki and some of his soldiers, his mouth hung in shock for a second before composing himself.

"Hello my king" she said with a coy smile.
