Author's Note: Hey! I hope everyone is liking the story. If so then please let me know by leaving a review or following the story. It really gives you a push knowing that people are reading your story.

Now it may seem like I am taking a long time to get Loki in the scene but believe me It will be worth the wait. There are a few things however that you should keep in mind for the background of this story:

1) Phil is alive and kicking but the avengers don't know it yet. Elena knows because she is very close to Phil and was part of his rescue operation.

2) This story is post-avengers and pre-AOU.

3) Also I am thinking of alternating between Elena's and Loki's POV. What do you guys think? Leave a comment with any suggestion that you might have :)

Chapter 2

All the while in the car I just kept on thinking, there was something off about this mission. I mean sure we monitor potential threats but never do we pair agents with them like this.

"Maria?" I have to ask.

"Ummm-hmmm." She gives me a sideways glance telling me she is listening.

"I was just wondering if you know…..I could just do this from a surveillance room. All you guys want is him monitored right? That I can do from a feed as well while also getting some other actual work done. I don't have to be in the company of this nut job for that, Do I?" I just get it all out without looking at her, giving her the most casual tone I could muster although it sounded anything but casual. Great Elena you will be a terrific undercover agent!

"I don't think there is much room for debate, especially on that part. I had a long discussion with Fury, he is pretty adamant about this whole 'Loki should spend time with humans and maybe we could get him to help us better if he felt connected' thing." She tells me in a tone that is anything but approving and I love her for that.

"Connected? Does Fury know anything about this guy! He almost obliterated the whole city, so many agents died and all for what! Because the 'God was bored and decided to exert his dominance and show how mighty he is!' Even a five year old can see that this is twisted." We are almost there. I need to get all the information I can if I am to do this at all. Something tells me, I and Fury are going to have a discussion…..which might not go very well.

"Tell me about him." I sigh. "Anything that can be of help, I know about New York. So anything besides that, personal stuff, parentage, a personality profile….anything." I am rambling again.

"I have already put in a request for a personality profile; it should be on your desk by noon. Most of the info about this guy is classified." She gives me a sideways glance that tells me all she is not saying. Not a word about this to anyone else. Got it.

"He is from Asgard, but is not really an Asgardian. Odin, Thor's Father and one of the most powerful beings in the nine realms adopted him when he defeated his father Laufey, a frost giant, back in 965 A.D. He never told Loki about his true parentage though. So when Thor was to be coroneted Loki being Loki sneaked some Frost giants into Asgard who then tried to steal the tesseract. All this somehow lead loki to the truth about his parentage and he became rebellious. Killed his biological father, tried to steal the throne from Thor while he was banished and after a fight he ended up falling off the bifrost. He was assumed dead until he surfaced in New York with that god awful Chitauri."

.God

"okaaaayyyyy. I have about a billion questions right now. Was it better when I didn't know?" I am sure that I look all wide eyed with the dumbest 'not-a-fucking-clue' expression right now.

"Relax. I know it's a lot but the profile would help. Although you might wanna brush up your Norse Mythology a bit. And word of advice: Do not let that guy into your head. He has a nasty way with words and getting under people's skin is kind of his favorite hobby." And with that we are in the parking lot. Does she realize she really isn't helping my already haywire nerves?

I am quite all the way to the lift and then in the lift and then when I am out of it and even when we head straight for the roof where a party of superheroes are assembled. Great confidence level agent!

I do a quick scan. Yep! They are all here, The Avengers. It's not my first time meeting them though. I get along pretty well with the guys, but Natasha is an altogether different case. It's not like she is mean or anything, I am just very intimidated by her and the fact that I have the most massive girl crush on her doesn't help the case either.

Everyone is standing in a sort of semi-circle…Why? I have no clue and I don't feel like asking either. I have something else to chew on right now.

"Excuse me." I mumble and go towards the far end of the roof that looks over the massive expanse of this gorgeous city. If I have to do this I better go in with a clear head and there is only one person who can help me. I dial the number and he answers on the second bell.

"How's is my favorite brunette?" I can hear the smile in his voice and can almost picture his eyes twinkling warmly.

"Well not as good as my hunk of a boss but eh I would do." Phil's laughter on the other end is the best thing I have heard all this morning.

"You are calling. This should be interesting." And I feel a little bad. I have been checking up on him only through texts lately, calls are really not my thing. But he is like a father figure to me and I should have.

"Oh you bet it is! Remember the Freak with God-complex who played a big part in you getting the super posh bus?" I deliberately leave out the part about his heart being torn in half. He is not a big fan of that, who would be?

"What is it?" The alertness in his tone reminds me why he is such a respected agent in SHIELD.

"Nothing, just that he is part of a consulting party arriving from Asgard for some threat assessment and I am supposed to accompany him wherever he goes during his stay to make sure he doesn't screw anything up." There is silence on the other end.

"Any word of advice as to how to deal with the Universal Psycho?"

"Well you are pretty much on your own in this one kid. Every person has a different psychology and dealing with them has to be designed accordingly. Given your mission I highly doubt that Fury wants you to sit in a chair and watch him go about his routine. You will have to interact. Tell me what would you do if this was someone on the index gone rogue?" I all of a sudden have a flashback to my very first lesson from him. Never Assume. Especially not the worst.

"I wouldn't assume anything based on the files. I would make my own assessment based on my own experience."

"And then?" He prompts.

"I would do my best to help the person and would try to prevent him from doing any further damage to others or himself." I don't like it. He is making me see reason which in theory is good but damn hard to practice with someone this….weird.

"But what if he doesn't want help?" This is new.

"Who wouldn't want a second chance?" I am genuinely asking, because this is beyond me.

"What if the person doesn't believe they exist? Remember Trust and hope is something that not everyone is endowed with." He sighs.

"You wanted word of advice, Your compassion is one of your strongest suits Elena just don't let it become your weakness." I smile, don't know why but I feel so better already.

"Yes, boss. Although I should tell you mommy already gave me the 'don't let him in your head' talk." He laughs.

"She will kill you if she heard that, but you already know that right? Best of luck kiddo. Fury is a smart person if he says you can do it then you have no need to second guess yourself." And with that we hang up. I turn around and there is a blinding white light with thunder and cantankerous wind, that makes me cover my eyes and my already wet hair go all frenzied.

Thor is here everyone.

THERE! they are here. :D I am very excited about the next chapter. The first time they see each other...

stay tuned. :)
