Talk.


Why can't you come down here? Tony it's fine. Whatever JARVIS order some food Chinese of course sir. The food comes and Andy stays in her perch. She watches them eat in silence. Come on kid Tony says you've got to be hungry. Andy still says nothing. Look it's not poisoned or drugged or anything Andy's eyes dart around. She still doesn't say anything but she clearly looks like someone is going to grab her. Come on just have something to eat you'll feel better.


13 years ago...


ANDY! Andy where are you? Andy! Andy come down..oh sweetie whAt happened? The peeople in own'ehy aid I was an animal ...oh come here baby Andy climbs down. Come to daddy look I've got your favorite ire flakes! that's right....what did daddy tell you? I special. Yes...and what about those mean people? They blind? Yes. But there are good people in the world ...like mommy? Yes ...and her other son o got an'other brother? Yes. Can we can we visit him omeday? Of course let's go talk to mommy about that....


Andy sighs and she goes down to the floor. Here..trust me it's good. Andy sits down and he says I'm Steve and these are my friends see? Were all friends here. Andy's doesn't doesn't change expression. You want to know why those people are after me. Tony's eyes widen. Yeah he says what did you do to piss them off? Oh. He didn't mean that. Steve says. I guess we should start with this guy he says showing her a picture of Adam. She pushes the picture down. Adam. Ohh he has a name- he's my brother. Oh- oh crap. Andy laughs. So what did I
do to piss him off? Ok let's start when I was three. I didn't die when he killed my parents oh yeah and I almost stopped him. Ok lets continue shall I? Humm what about the fact that I wanted to go to school? Or the fact that I didn't think we should kill humans. Humm but I bet it was the fact that I a nine year old used my knowledge of computers to hack into the military and contact the highest ranking general to escape only for him to follow me and TRY TO KILL ME! One of the lights go out. Right did I mention that I was nine? Andy sets her empty food container down and walks away her eyes glowing slightly. Wait what? Tony says your brother tried to kill you? Yes he was fifteen and I was nine what about it? Damn. The red headed woman says. What about the others? Oh them? They work for an immortal mastermind that wants to end humanity I am one of the only ones with magic one of ....six in the entire realm to be exact. Andy crosses her arms. Years ago a wizard gave some of his power to four maidens my mother was one of them so when she died the magic went to me. They're after me to kill me and take my magic. Wait did you say she wants to destroy humanity?! Andy pitches her nose. You don't get it do you? I have to get back there look kid it's possible we can help with that. Can you open a portal? Well it's not us...what? He's never going to allow that. What? You say you've got magic? And you're really powerful? What do you want? Tony turns to his team and they whisper for a few moments while looking back at her. He turns back. Ok you know Loki? What about him? We want you to assess him. Excuse me? Recently there was an attack on our earth he appeared to have led it. After your ...talk with him and reviewing the tapes I've concluded it wasn't all him. Andy sighs. You do realize I won't get anything without his consent. But you can- Andy shakes her head. I'll speak to him. I'm not promising anything else. Fine. Let's go tony says. Fine! Andy follows them all to the fish bowl room. Oh goody you brought friends.


Andy shrugs. Ignore them. They're just here to watch the show. Show? What are you talking about. Andy steps down and she nods once to Tony who opens the door and she goes in and the door shuts after her. You're a brave little one. You don't scare me Loki and I don't believe you intend to. Andy circles him. Why don't you sit down she points and a chair appears. Wha- he sits in the chair. I'm listening. They seem to think that so called attack wasn't just you. Andy says. Unless you happen to like this fish bowl you'll let me see what actually happened. I'm not sure you could handle it. Andy laughs. She sits in a chair that appears from nowhere. She gently touches his face and he gasps. Please Andy says. Let me see. It's...it's not pretty ...Andy closes her eyes and breathes deeply ...


Loki is hanging over  the bridge I would've done it farther for you! No Loki! He's falling falling falling falling falling falling falling ...barely alive on a desolate planet ...grimy hands grab his body and nurse him back...feed lies into his mind convince him he's someone he's not ... no one misses you...see? They don't mourn they celebrate Thor  no longer has to pretend..and you hate him don't you? No I- you hate him! You never loved him and he didn't love you...and Frigga please ...but she's - she's not your mother Thor is her son he's the one she was proud of.
Loki is screaming as he's whipped continually say it! Say it! No! I won't ...I won't do it! There's innocents ...who cares for innocents? You were innocent. I don't- he's whipped again. You are nothing. You are nothing. I am nothing. That's right. Loki's head flings back. More time passes and he's standing on the desolate planet barely standing ...his eyes are slightly blue. He'll corporate? Yes. He's resistant but not enough to stop it. Now go...or you know what will happen. Loki disappears. He reappears underground and he points his staff at Clint ...no stop please  
Loki smirks
Brother you can stop this! No I can't ...I wanted to...earth would've been gone if I hadn't ...Thanos it's Thanos
But Loki just laughs and falls down to another ship ...he ends up in a tower where a green monster slams him to the ground repeatedly. Oh no. What have I done? Why are they all looking at me like that?...right.


Andy pulls back. Loki stares at her his eyes wide. What? You...Andy's eyes widen and she pales. Well! Tony says making Andy flinch. Andy puts a hand through her hair. They won't believe you. Loki whispers and Andy can see the brokenness in his eyes. She stands up and she says Loki is innocent he ...he prevented the destruction of the earth he did not cause the attack. What?! But he- she's right.  The blue eyes. Clint says. I can't imagine.....how long? How could I tell. What knocked you out of it? Loki's eyes slide to Bruce. You're joking right? I guess your friend isn't all bad is it? He says. He looks at the man with a red cape. Can we go home now brother? I...I'm not sure farther would believe this. But do you? Of course brother ...you do? I can see it in the girls eyes she was not lying. Perhaps she can speak to father he says. Loki looks at Andy. Would she be allowed to enter Asgard? He asks. Perhaps we can work this out the man says more to himself. He turns to tony what is the Fox's name? Fox? Andy mummers - Thor she isn't - but she's got the cutest tail. I mean she's obviously some sort of hybrid creature he continues as if they can't hear her - where are your parents I must meet them. Thor buddy - what is a girl your age going without her parents anyway? He says. They're gone Andy finally says quietly. Gone where? He says. Brother. Thor finally looks at Loki's face. Her parents are dead. How do you know that? Tony says. I saw it he whispers. What?! A door opened is opened both ways Loki says quietly. You only saw what I allowed you to see Andy says. She suddenly feels a hand on her shoulder. She should come with us he says maybe we could help...her get back to her family....together. I'd like that Thor says. Its settled. Open the door friend tony so I may take my brother and our new friend home. But but - we don't have evidence! Inside the septor is an agent Andy says standing some sort of mind controlling device. She crosses her arms. The stone goes blue and so did his eyes what more do you need? The tesseract! Loki says. That's what he's after ...his eyes widen all six of them. He looks at Thor we've got to get home. What?! What do you know!? Loki looks like he's in pain. I can't he whispers. Why not! I just can't! He turns away from them all. Can you tell us? Thor asks. I...Andy sighs. Whatever he's worried about seems signifiant. As someone that practices magic I know there are ways to prevent one from speaking about something. Very well. You're going to believe her? Just like that. Thor says. Get Loki released to me and then I'll take them both home fine he says  he sits down at the computer and Andy hears him conversing with someone on the screen. Where is the girl now? In the cell with Loki. Good keep her there. If Loki needs to face justice on Asgard very well,the girl is ours. You can't be serious I don't belong to anyone! Andy is ignored by Fury. Release Loki keep the girl. Tony is white as he says wait a- damnit. He says. He looks up at Andy. The door opens to the cell and four guards rush in two grabbing Loki the other two try to prevent Andy from getting out. Hey! I haven't  hey- they push her to the ground and one holds her there as Loki is taken out. Andy struggles wrapping her tail around his arm trying to get free. Let me go! Let go of me! Friend tony the girl won't be hurt will she? Tony doesn't say anything. Andy grips the man's wrists and she tosses him off of her before stepping out of the cell. You just body slammed a guard! Self defense. Andy mummers. Come on! Tony drops a pen. Oh look my back is tuned what ever shall I do...Andy hesitates. Then she runs towards Thor and Loki. The others chase after her and they meet up on the roof. Andy is holding her staff  again. She leans on it. Just let me go home please. Hemdiall! Thor calls up. Take my hand Loki says. Andy turns to Tony. Thanks ...all of you. Then they vanish. Andy's eye's widen when she sees the earth from space.
