{Author's Perspective}

Khione had been living in Avengers Towers for two weeks now. She was still guarded by the heroes only conversing with Loki and Thor with the occasional Sign Language talks with Clint. The others were still surprised to see the young girl and their former nemesis getting along.Khione felt safe with the Asgaurdian, she felt like they understood each other somehow with their different pasts. Hell, when she explained her other half, Skadi, he wasn’t scared like others were. He was understanding of her fear of being casted out like she was in HYDRA (which she told no one about). Khione got the vibe that Natasha was weary of her since her outburst on the quinjet, the same with Wint-Bucky he had been avoiding her like she was the plague. Khione understood him completely, he killed people and had forgotten about it all he trained her and didn’t know if it was harsh or deadly. Khione was never the same when the assassin didn't come back.

Khione walked to the kitchen, she wanted to get some coffee and food before she went to the library with Loki. She didn’t understand why he was so warm towards her unlike his relationship with the Avengers and his brother. Grabbing her sandwich and coffee mug Khione made her way to the library. The faint sound of ACDC playing throughout the halls, Tonyt was probably tinkering in the lab again. Khione smiled when she was met with the smell of old books. The girl had always been fascinated by them, she always tried to sleep in libraries when she first escaped HYDRA alone. Khione shook the thought out of her mind, HYDRA is in the past Khione reminded herself. “Khione, just in time” Loki’s voice softly called, his usual smiled spreading across his face. Khione couldn’t help but smile back. She always enjoyed her time with the god. She would pick out a book and he would read it to her. “What page did we finish on again?” Khione asked sitting across from Loki, handing him half of her sandwich. “Page 200” Loki confirmed as he opened the book. He opened his mouth but quickly shut it as if he was thinking.
“How about you read today Khione” Loki suggested, causing Khione to almost choke. “No thank you” She quickly said, not making contact with him staring into the milky brown of her drink.

Before Loki could say anything, Natasha came into view. She looked at Khione suspiciously, before averting her  gaze towards Loki. “Fury’s here, he wants you two at the conference room in ten minutes” Natasha spoke sternly. Khione perked her head up, “Who’s Fury? And why does he want me there?” Khione asked, confused about this mysterious man. “How am I supposed to know?” Natasha said as if Khione knew the guy before walking out. Khione looked to Loki who was equally as shocked as herself, mixed with underlying rage. She was trained to notice one’s emotions and process their thinking quickly, basic HYDRA training.

“Don’t worry Khione you’ll be seated next to me” Loki smiled reassuring the young teen slightly.

I sat in the conference room, Loki to my left and Thor to my right. I felt sick in this room, these people, the Avengers, they saved so many lives and me? I killed people and stole from others to survive. I felt the same emotions from Skadi, she was conflicted by the tension of Bucky and Natasha.

I’m scared. I tapped in morse code a trick from HYDRA, my nerves getting the best of me. My left hand which had been resting on my knee paled at my finger tips. I know I’m scared too. I breathed out in relief, the pale blue on my fingers staying like reassurance of Skadi’s presence. I looked at Loki with a small smile on my face. That’s when a man in all black came in, he was bald with an eye patch on one of his eyes. He looked at me briefly before throwing a memory stick at Tin Can. “Okay team there is an alarming discovery on the recent attack in Paris. Stark if you will” The man commanded.

Tin Can rolled his eyes at the man before plugging the drive into a nearby computer. “F.R.I.D.A.Y. Bring up the files please” He said, a hologram appeared with writing and pictures of Paris. “After the assasinaion of Scarnon, Head of S.H.I.E.L.D’s logistics division we have found our suspect” The man who I think is Fury began. The next picture was a man who I wish I could forget.

‘He’s alive!? How, he died with the rest of them!’ Skadi growled in pure rage, making my left eye go silver.

Skadi stop you’ll make a scene. I tapped in fright, if this Fury is so important I can't have him locking me up.

“Our suspects name is Corin Dwyer, he was head of the HYDRA Observations of Experiment Phase Elemental of Operation Natural. It was a planned experiment issued by HYDRA, they stole orphans from homes and used them as lab rats” Fury explained, his gaze towards me. “You would know all about that Khione Frost” Fury said, making the Avengers stare at me. My hair was in silver and blue strands at this point, my eye being silver wasn’t doing me any favors. “He should be dead!” I snapped slamming my fist to the table.

“I watched him burn! They killed him, five years ago!” They used the memory wipe to burn his skull because he was the real monster! He hurt us! All of us!” I screamed, we screamed me and Skadi. My hair was completely changed. “He should be dead!” We screamed, tears down our face. I looked to Fury, anger on my face “He’s a monster, he shouldn’t be alive” I growled before leaving the conference room.

Loki stood outside her door, he looked distraught. Loki hesitated before knocking. “Khione? Are you alright?” Loki asked worried about the young teen. He could hear her choked sobs from the door. “Leave me alone!” Khione screamed shakily, frost forming on the door from the inside. Loki’s eyes widened as he projected himself to Khione.

Loki frowned at the teen. Her hair was pure silver, no blue just silver. “I said leave me alone!” Khione  cried at the projection of the god. Her eyes were red just like a Frost Giant, Like him. Loki kneeled in front of Khione, his face full of worry and concern. “Oh Khione, what happened?” Loki asked, his voice smooth and soft. The teen looked at him, her red eyes brighter than the swollen red around them, tear stains covered her cheeks, her usual violet lips now pure blue. “Please, just leave me alone” Khione cried looking at him hopelessly. Loki reached his hand out before it went through her body. Khione shivered from the magic, it was almost familiar like she had felt it before. She looked up from her fetal position, “I’ll open the door, just promise me you won’t kill anyone” Khione’s voice was raspy, at least she wasn’t shouting making it worse. “I give you my word” Loki promised, hand over his heart.

“I need more than that, I can’t have you killing people, please something more” Khione begged, here eyes shifting green for a moment. “I swear on my life and Thor’s I will not kill anyone” Loki swore looking Khione straight in the eyes. She got up from the floor and turned away from the projection. When she opened the door Loki wrapped his arms around her.Khione froze, she couldn’t process this... Loki was hugging her. Khione awkwardly wrapped her own arms around the god still having no clue how to handle this.

Loki pulled away first, his eyes scanning Khione’s face. He placed his hands on her face “Are you alright?” was all he said. Khione looked broken as she stared at the god. “No” Khione sobbed burying her head into Loki’s chest.Loki looked at Khione, his heart breaking what did HYDRA do to her. “Please don’t leave me. Don’t leave me alone again” Khione sobbed. “Darling, please look at me” Loki asked, trying to stop his voice from breaking. Khione’s blood red eyes look at Loki’s green one’s.”You two are never alone” Loki’s eyes went red as his skin turned blue. Khione stumbled back from Loki, her shock evident on her face.

“You’re like me!?”

Running. It’s all I’ve known for the past two years. I need to find them before he does. He’s already found her, it’s only a matter of time before he finds the boys. The gravel on my feet burning from my speed. My platinum hair bouncing behind me , shining in the sirens and gun shots.

“Get back here!”

“Come on! Work stupid Asgard tech!” I grumbled trying to figure out the sphere in my hands.Khione would know, she always knows even if she doesn’t. I sigh, time for plan B. I turn to the HYDRA officers “Nice try fellas, time to go!” I raise my hand to sky, i feel the the power surge throughout me. Closing my eyes I summon a distress beacon. Please Khione find me, before he kills us. I move will the officers are blinded, to the club it is.

I ran to the back door slamming it shut when I got inside.Three boys around 17 ran towards my body, covered in sweat. “Emily! What happened!” One asked cradling my head in his hands. “HYDRA… Looking for them… Save Khione...Before they find her” I felt nauseous , black spots in my vision. I grabbed the nearest shirt and pulled one of the boys closer to me. “Find her… Save Khione… Before Lauf…”

Black was all I saw.
