Chapter 5
{Loki's Perspective}
I watched as the Avengers hooked Khione up to any machine known to man. On her chest, head, arms. There was so many wires I couldn't even count them all. Her skin had paled into an almost unnoticeable blue, her lips a threatening violet. Small strands of her hair were silver and blue.
She laid still, she looked as if the heavens had blessed her. She looked so much of my Astra. Such a fiercesome warrior, her smile alone could make all men fall to there feet, especially me. Her silver hair shone in the afternoon sun. Her grey eyes were like a mirror showing you your fate, for it to be good or worse. I rember the night fell.
I shook my head and looked to Khione once more, it had now fallen dark and the others were fallen into their dreams or nightmares. She look oh so peaceful.
I was just about leave to my Chambers, when one of the machines beeps were going rapidly. I turn and Khione shot up from the bed gasping, her eyes flashed red for a moment. She looked around and started to rip the wires off of her rapidly. She realised she was in a hospital gown still not noticing me. She looked around the room her eyes finally landing on me.
"Where are my clothes Loki?" She asked harshly. I raised an eyebrow, "I do not know Khione but I could fabricate some of you like. But manners is key" I said to her. Khione huffed in annoyance. "Could I please have some clothes... Please" She ask briskly. I waved my hands and she had a black jumper that said 'If you can't reach heaven raise hell', black ripped jeans, black and white converse, skull earrings and a leather bracelet. She looked at her clothes and smiled faintly.
"Not bad for the God of Mischief" She commented grabbing her necklace on the table near her. She started to walk towards the elevator. "Where are you going?" I asked walking with her. "Out" She said quickly going inside the metal box, I followed her in. "F.R.I.D.A.Y ground floor please" She asked tapping her foot impatiently. "Why are your going out" I asked knowing it would irritate her.
"None of your business, Antlers" Khione shot, she was not in a good mood. I widened my eyes slightly. She reminds me of self, great. The box opened and Khione speed walked her way out, a look of importance and bothered. Her hands where clenched and cold air seemed out of them.
I kept following her as she turned a corner I changed my appearance. Barley anyone was in the lit streets of New York. I watched as she got the attention of a visibly drunk man. I was ready to hurt him, but the girl beat me to it by shooting him across the street with an ice blast.
Time passed quickly, soon enough we where in the old part of New York, building falling apart, many loud parties of drunk and toxicity. I noticed Khione had stopped in the middle of the path, she turned and glared at me. I renounced my spell showing my true form in more 'civilised' clothing. Khione growled as I approached her.
"How long?" I asked hoping the journey was almost over. "Stay quiet and don't draw attention to yourself. I don't need to be in the middle of another gang spat" she told me walking ahead.
"A what!?" I asked her shocked. Khione rolled her eyes at me "You heard me now stay quiet and unseen" she told me as we approached an abandoned building. Khione looked around before kicking in the door.
{Khione's Perspective}
I walked in and took a breathe. "Home"I sighed before snapping my fingers, a spark of light appeared, I raised the light to shine over the bottom floor. It was simple, a sleeping bag surrounded by a duffle bag and a backpack. I walked over to my little corner of the room. I grabbed the bags and lifted them on my shoulders. Next I lifted the floor boards next to the sleeping bag, underneath was a stone box. I grabbed it quickly without a second thought.
'Are you sure he can be trusted?' Skadi asked me.
"He's the only one we can trust, Ski" I told her, I walked out towards Loki and shoved my duffle bag at him. "You can teleport? Right" I asked him guickly. "Why is it of importance to you?" Loki asked me raising his eyebrow at me.
"Cause if you don't I'm sure some drunk idoit can help" I suggested, I saw his face drop at my statement. "Where do want to go" He asked me, "Any woods or forest and don't tell where okay" I told him. In a flash of light green we were in a forest, the trees were covered in snow as we're the grass. I walked over to a tree and started to use my powers to dig a hole.
~At Avengers Tower~
To say that the Avengers weren't freaking out, was an understatement. The moment F.R.I.D.A.Y notified them that Khione and Loki had left, the tower was in an uproar. Tony who had sneakily put a micro-tracker into Khione's IV, was trying to set up the connection. Clint and Natasha were checking the weapons vault to see if anything was taken. Thor and Steve were trying to calm down Sam, who thought that the two were starting a war. Bucky was helping Bruce go through the medical results from Khione while she was unconscious.
A beep took Tony out of his daze. "Guys the trackers online!" the billionaire shouted. All Avengers present, ran up to him, as they did he should her location. "Why is she in a woods?" Bruce asked. "Dunno, hey what was in her results" Steve asked the doctor. Bruce grabbed the papers and his glasses, "Everything was normal except, she had remains of the Super Solider syrum, and an unknown substance. Still trying to figure that out though" He told the team. Buck's eyes flashed red. Super Soldier serum! She was only fifteen years old.
"We have to get her now and ask questions" Steve ordered. The Avengers nodded. They all suited up and met back with Bruce on the quinjet.
~With Khione and Loki~
Khione placed her stone box in the hole by the tree. "Why are you even hiding this box? What importance does it have?" Loki questioned Khione. She rolled her eyes, "It's something I can't have them finding" Khione explained bluntly. "Who is them?" Loki asked, yet Khione didn't answer. "Is it the Avengers?" He asked again. Khione looked at him, Loki saw pain and fear in her eyes, "You have no idea what I've been through. And if they get this box..."Khione trailed off as she put the snow and dirt back over the hole.
" If you don't trust the Avengers, trust me. I'm not one of them" Loki told the teen. Khione's eyes flashed silver. "Duck!" she grabbed Loki's shoulder and pushed them to the ground. A bullet grazed her shoulder. "Ms. Frost! Surrender now and come peaceful. Or we use force!" A Russian voice called. The God and teenager were now surround by a horde of Hydra soldiers. "You know these people!" Loki sneered. "Not exactly" Khione shot back.
She looked around before looking at Loki, "I can trust you right?" She asked. Loki nodded. "Skadi? Time to make an entrance" Khione smiled. She let Skadi take over, her features changed to their white and blue state. Her eyes were fiercely silver.
Skadi stood up and smiled. "Give a messege to Rumlow. You can't tame us!" A surge of white escaped from Skadi as she screamed. The force was so powerful that every soldier was knocked backwards by it like dominos. "I hope your ready to explain this one Khi" Skadi huffed looking at the shocked God before her.
'I know. Just let me take over'
It a few moments Khione took over, looking more mortal than when Skadi was in control. "I know you have questions but please don't tell the others" Khione begged clutching her shoulder. Loki saw the girl, she was vulnerable. "I won't I promise" Loki told Khione. After he got up from the ground, he noticed the girl's hand covering her shoulder was dripping red.
"Khione! Your shoulder!" Loki exclaimed. Khione looked at the wound drowsy and her eyes handing out of her head. "I've been through worse Loki. I'm fine" Khione tried to kept her strength, she had to keep some sort of walls up.
A bright light shone down an the two, 'Hey Reindeer Games! Elsa! Need a lift!' Tony's voice echoed. Trying not be blinded by the ligh, the pair looked to see the quunjet hovering above them and the unconscious bodies.
Thor and Vison landed next to them. "Loki, Khione are you too okay!" Thor asked seeing Khione's bloodied hand. "Nothing a few stitches can't handle" Khione said weakly. She wrapped her no shot, arm around Vison, who gently flew towards the quunjet with her.

Khione sat still as Bruce took the bullet out of her shoulder. "So much for a graze. Bastards" Khione grumbled seeing the size of the bullet. "Why are Hydra after you?"Steve asked the teenager." Cause I was the only successful experiment. And I stole their formal to make the exact copy of the Super Soldier serum"Lhione explained. "Is she hyped up on morphine?" Clint asked, not really believing the teenager. "No, she refused to take any" Bruce scolded as he started to stitch up the wound. "I was with Hyrda for eight years, birdbrain. They don't care if you don't feel anything. You get used to the pain. Physical or Emotional" Khione shot back at the archer.
Khione looked at Bucky who was staring at her intensely. "Winter! Gods can you stare at me like that. I still get creeped out by it" Khione scoffed, Bucky looked at the girl in shock. "Wait, you knew me in Hyrda?" He asked getting up from his seat. By now the other Avengers were watching the interactions between the two.
Khione rolled her eyes. Is this guy serious? "Who do you think made that arm of yours. Me, and I sure got a lot hell for it too" Khione told the ex-assassin. Bruce placed the bandage over the stitches and quickly got out of the line of fire. "You remember Hydra? Why, how is it you can remember and I can't" Bucky asked his arms crossed. "Cause unlike you, I couldn't be brainwashed. I was electrocuted four times a day for eight years. So if my time was only half of what you went through. Be grateful that you don't remember" Khione spat tears threatening to spill from her face.
'Boss, the quinjet is experiencing some harsh winds' F.R.I.D.A.Y informed the Avengers. Khione's eyes widened in realisation, she took control over her breathing, soon the harsh winds were gone, well according to F.R.I.D.A.Y at least.
The Avengers were silent for the rest of the flight. Loki stayed near Khione, who stared at the ground. Natasha however was sort of restless. No experiment of Hydra gives themselves up that quickly. She was hiding something, something big. She just had to figure it out.
When the Avengers got back to the tower, the first thing they did was eat. Khione watched as Steve and Wanda manoeuvred the kitchen, grabbing glass containers and pots. Every moment or so, she would comment on what they were making, not been given an answer. The double minded teen was mesmerised by the dynamic of the duo's cooking, she didn't realise that Loki and Thor weren't their, and her bags were gone.
After a few moments, Bruce tapped her shoulder. Khione turned to see the doctor holding some papers. "Um, Khione I was going through some of the abnormalities in your system. I just wanted to ask you what was the last thing you ate?" Bruce asked her. "I ate an apple last week?" Khione shrugged. The Avengers looked at her.
"Last week?" Clint asked her in worry. "I've been on the streets since I was thirteen, Birdbrain. I'm lucky enough to even have a meal every once in a while" Khione retorted crossing heir arms. "No wonder your passing out. The less food you have, the more likely you are if passing out using your powers"Bruce explained, while writing something down." I could have told you that, if you just asked" Khione told him. Bruce made an 'o' face before turning back to his lab.
Loki and Thor walked into the kitchen, the sight was quite surprising. Khione was half asleep on the counter top. Her head resting on her arms. Loki sighed, he walked over to the sleeping girl. He gently shook her shoulder. "Ski leave me sleep" she mumbled. "Khione come with me, you need to sleep in your room" Loki said softly. The Avengers watched the interactions between the two, they noticed how gentle Loki was with the girl, and how comfortable she was when she was around the Asgardians.
Khione was now being held by the two gods who were bring her to her room. Once they got inside, Thor lifted the blanket as Loki placed Khione on the memory foam mattress. "So... Soft" Khione mumbled. Loki smiled taking off her shoes and pulling the covers over the sleeping teen.
"Goodnight Khione" Loki and Thor whispered before leaving the young girl to sleep.
"Mama?" Khione mumbled her skin turned blue and her hair was firey red.
"Don't go Mama"
