"Holy Shit." Kimberly cursed as she looked up and was met by the sight of hundreds if not thousand of constantly changing enemies.

"Still need a plan?" Hawkeye asked as he read her lips.

"I've heard most plans don't last first contact with the enemy." She said as she signed to Hawkeye who laughed at the response. Shove your plan up your ass this is a disaster anyway.

"Thor, Kimberly, that is your name isn't it? You two find Loki, the rest of us will protect the city." Thor nodded towards the captain and then they were running to follow Loki who had split from the group.

They didn't get far when they were spotted by the shifters. They were ugly looking things, looking at them too long made your eyes hurt. Kimberly was glad for the gun Natasha had given her as she fast ran out of bullets.

"Go, I'll hold them back." Kimberly nodded and ran towards the building Loki had landed in. It was smaller than the Avenger building, and nowhere near as complex. He wasn't on the first floor, she looked for a lift but didn't see one. Oh joy stairs, she hated them they messed with her joints. She bit back a curse with each step and ran up the stairs.

"So this is what they send, not even my brother, not even Hulk a mutant. Just a human child." The voice was everywhere and nowhere at the same time. She kicked the door open and smirked, she'd always wanted to do that. There were 3 of him, each an exact replica of the first.

She closed her eyes. This was the reason Fury had picked her, his tricks didn't work on her. Her mind was so broken and torn from age and pain, it had stopped trying to perceive lies.

"I'm more than a child." Kim opened her eyes and looked him dead on. He flinched and the illusions shattered, only for more to appear. She took a step forward and he took one backwards.

"What are you?" He panicked. Kim noticed something off about him, his eyes where pure white. She had seen footage of him before, his eyes were not white. Something was wrong. She grinned as she thought about it, taking another step, pushing him against the wall. He realised and jumped forwards, grabbing her arm and catching her by surprise. Kim's eyes widened and she willed herself smaller, shrinking to that of her 11 year old self. Her wrist slipped from his grasp and she jumped back up, aching all over as she changed back fast enough to take her breath away.

"What are you?"

"I'm like you." She jumped backwards as he forced her onto the defensive. "I'm 2 millennia old. I ache all over, constantly. I know what its like to be you. Muscles always being torn and stretched and shrunk. Shapeshifting hurts, gods does it hurt, and that pain is my life." He lunged at her again as it clicked into place. His eyes were white, when they weren't meant to be. He had been a prisoner of Thor's, so why was he here? She'd seen this before, when they'd used mutant genes on soldiers in the war, it had produced a white glaze over their eyes that meant they were under control. He wasn't the boss, he was the bait.

"Shit." she stood still and waited for the second before he hit her, then hit him with a pressure point. His eyes widened then the white receded as he was pulled out of consciousness.

"What set it off? He's a god? He cant be affected by genes. So what, what, what?" She thought as she ran back down the stairs, changing form and pulling a weapon from the past. Her mutation was special, it created a temporary pocket of time where things could exist, and she could get them if she remembered when she had had them. This time it was a pair of scimitars, long and deadly. She had had them when she had been 12 she hadn't known how to use them. She did now.

"Loki?" Thor asked as she chopped of an aliens head as way of entrance.

"Unconscious, for now. Can you cover me as we get back to the others, I figured something out." Thor looked at her but nodded as they made their way back to the others carving a way using her scimitars.

"Kimberly, did you find Loki?" Captain asked as he jumped down next to them. She nodded.

"He shouldn't wake up for at least half an hour. Also, he's not the boss." The cap looked at her as did Thor.

" What do you mean?" Cap ducked down behind his shield as bullets bounced off of it. Kim span around and sliced at them with her scimitar. A sound like a radio turning on buzzed in the air. Kim flinched and raised her hands to her ears, Thor glanced around and tried to cover his ears whilst fighting off the shapeshifters.

"You guys alright?" Hawkeye asked as he appeared from behind one of them, an arrow in its back. Kimberly glanced at Thor, his eyes going glassy.

"Shit, someone knock him out." Everyone turned to face her and she shifted involuntarily. "He's being taken over, do you hear that noise?" They shook their heads, Natasha and Stark glancing at each other like she was mad.

"What noise?" Thor's eyes were white, like Loki's had been and Kimberly could feel her hold loosening.

"Someone knock him out! Or he'll kill us, it's what happened to Loki." She shifted back 70 years, when she had been deaf. Thor lost control completely and launched himself at them.

It happened fast, Hawkeye readied his bow, but he wasn't as fast as Natasha who hit Thor hard in the temple and knocked him out cold. The asgardian lay on the floor and Kimberly looked up to the sky, certain that they were trying to talk to her. Something had to be broadcasting the noise. It was like a radio, you needed to be tuned to the right station to hear it, and the others weren't. So where was it?

"Kimberly? Are you okay?" Hawkeye stood in front of her and signed, if they were signing for her they must have tried to talk to her.

"I could hear it, I was losing control. I went back to when I had been deafened. Sorry." He nodded and spoke to the others, telling them that she was fine. Something happened and they all turned to look up at the sky, Kimberly followed their lines of sight and swore.

"I guess we found your boss." Her body shifted and she could hear again, the buzzing too strong. She slammed her hands over her ears and turned to Stark.

"Anyone have any ear buds?" Her body aged to 30 then shrank to 7. Her muscles screamed and she whimpered. Stark spoke to Jarvis who provided a pair from somewhere, he handed them to her and she quickly put them in.

They didn't block out everything, she could still hear them talking but she could no longer hear the thing that had taken over Thor and Loki. She took the form she was most comfortable in and looked up. The Boss, as Stark had called him, stood at the end of the street. His height was constantly changing, somewhere between 5" and 8" he only had one continuous feature which were the colour of his eyes. They were a toxic green, differentiating him from his underlings, that and his armour. He turned and locked eyes with hers, the buzzing became louder and she pulled her eyes away from him.

"Loki won't be unconscious for much longer, he needs to stay that way, else we'll have another person to fight. We need Thor out of here as well." Kimberly shifted slightly, ageing to 22 to pick Thor up. Natasha noticed her struggling and split of from the others to help her.

"You'll need back up." Natasha said as she shot one of them in the head, sending blood across the unconscious Thor's face. Kimberly struggled under the asgardian's weight as she dragged him towards the building with Loki in. This was the easiest place, it was the furthest away from the boss that she could drag the heavily muscled god. Natasha pulled an arm around her shoulders and took half of his weight, freeing Kimberly's right arm to protect them both.

Kicking the door open they half dragged half walked Thor onto the floor, apologising for the headache he would receive when he woke up. Natasha sighed and looked around the semi abandoned house.

"Human!" They both looked up then glanced at each other.

"I thought you said he wouldn't wake up yet?" Kimberly pulled a face and took an ear bud out.

"What?" Her hair fell over her shoulder as she turned towards the younger woman whose eyes glanced at the door leading to the stairs. "Oh." She ran to the door, quickly following Natasha who ran up the stairs only to be met by an angry god with white eyes.

"You." She hadn't put the ear bud in, she could hear the buzz again, and she realised this as he grabbed her collar. She changed unintentionally as her feet were lifted off the ground by the god. She felt herself losing it, her eyes going white. Natasha seemed to realise this, Kim felt the back of a gun hit her temple. The pain knocked her out.
