The chills of the metal table sent shivers up my body and when I felt the prick on my arm, my eyes shot open to see a man in a lab coat. The tools and utensils that he would have used on me if I was still asleep started to float slowly. The doctor seemed to be surprised to see that I was awake, which only made my mind wonder if I had been sedated on the jet.

"Easy there Stark. You are not suppose to be up just yet," His hand moved to set down a syringe, which only made me more upset, what was he doing to me? And on whose orders? The logo on the doctor coat was that of S.H.I.E.L.D. So I at least knew where I was. When I moved my legs over the side of the table I looked at my outfit, hopefully Natasha dressed. A cropped Guns N Roses shirt that I had cut the sleeves off of when I was younger and a pair of legging, my black shoes underneath the table against the wall. My feet covered with my black and white stripped fuzzy socks. Dad must have gotten me something different to wear so I wasn't in the dress any longer. "You fainted on the jet and your father brought you on board, your fine now," I nodded agreeing with him, though fine was far from what I was. I stood up off the bed and grabbed the shoes, holding onto the metal slab for support as I put on my shoes. As I finished tying the laces the man was putting on a band to tighten my arm, to see my veins. I gave him a sharp look to ask what he was doing. "The Director wan'ts a blood sample to test your DNA and help diagnose what is happening with you."

"Blood sample?" I tilted my head to the side unsure about his request. I shrugged, if this could help put a stop to whatever was happening to me then I was okay with it. Extending my arm to him, he gripped it a little to tight. They will use it as a weapon. Turning my head I ignored the voice I heard and that's when I saw him. A dozen of SHIELD officers escorting him, and even though he was in handcuffs again. He was smiling. Stop them from taking your blood... Now! My head spun back to the doctor and he flew against the door, breaking it off the hinges and sending him to the wall across the hall. Cutting off the escorts and Loki. I tore off the band and threw it to the floor, exiting the room turning to face the officers. The energy surrounding my body and the flickers of energy swarmed along my skin, my voice echoing the way it did before. "I am not some toy," Looking over the agents they were shocked to see me, and as I walked towards him the agents went move in front of him. I woke my hand and three of the guards were slammed into the wall. My eyes burning as I narrowed my glare to him. "Not a toy." The remaining guards drew their tasers and aimed them at me, taking a deep breath I vanished down the hall. Appearing just down another corridor, the guards racing after me. I was quicker though, being able to rush away by vanishing.

Finally I fell to my knees inside a bathroom, my hand rose an the energy locked the door. The stalls were empty and no one was in the bathroom but myself. I gripped the edge of the sink to help myself up and stare at my reflection. Turning the sink on I splashed my eyes and hoped the pain I felt behind my eyes would go away. When I stared to myself I saw my eyes glowing the same blue as the energy, I shook my head quickly hoping that it would go away quickly.

"What are you and what do you want?" I asked, my knuckles turning white when I saw my reflection smirk to me.

"You don't get it do you." I blinked once, seeing my reflection speak to me was almost as crazy as me teleporting around this ship. Her blue eyes rolled as she crossed her arms over her chest. The scars on my right arm from the surgeries glowing dimly, but upon looking over her skin I noticed that there were cracks all over her body. Blue light seeping through the cracks making her body glow slightly. "You still believe all of this is fake and unreal. Like this will all just vanish. No this is real, it's not a dream. You can really move things with your mind and teleport," I shook my head and pushed off the sink pacing in the small bathroom. "Enough! Look at me!" I stopped instantly looking over to myself.

"What is it you want?" I asked, taking control of the situation the best I could. The pounding on the door from the agents made the two of us look over, but I looked only for a moment, invested in finishing this conversation.

"Control. I want control."

"Of what?" I questioned leaning on the sink my brows drawing together. The quick glimmer in my reflections eyes gave me the clue that something was wrong. That's when the mirror me shot out of the mirror and tackled me into a stall. The two of us fell onto the ground and she gripped my arms tightly, pinning me to the ground. I struggled as much as I could but the more I did the more pain I felt in my veins.

"You," She said staring into my eyes, not blinking I felt the possessiveness behind her eyes as I slowly began to felt trapped behind my own eyes. Her body faded away and when I stood up and looked into the mirror once more.

My hazel eyes slowly changed to the reflections bright blue. I smirked and the mirror shattered falling into the sink. The door suddenly burst opened, my eyes met Maria's only for a second before I was gone in a flash of light. I didn't know where I was, but with the machinery I guessed somewhere deep within engineering.

"Give me control of my own body! Now!" I gripped the pipe along the wall feeling my body start to change. The cracks I once saw on the reflections body started to form on my own. The cracks starting from my scars moving there way along my body.

"Jaedyn?" I looked over to Natasha who had a concerned look on her face, quickly I felt her take control and she shot a wave of energy to Natasha, sending her back on the floor. I used whatever I could muster and lowered my hand so she wouldn't do any more damage to the people I cared about. I hoped she was okay but I couldn't take the chance and ask her. So you do have some fight left within you. It's time to take it from you.

Screaming all around you. You will walk over their bodies, crushing their skulls. And you will do so willingly... You will be a god among men. You will let an army destroy your own world, its going to burn. Destruction will be left in your wake. Everyone you love will di-

"Enough!" I yelled slamming my hand on the metal wall. "This is my body. Mine!" I stared at distorted reflection on the metal panel. "I control you. I control this body!" The cracks slowly began to fade away and I fell against the wall, taking deep breaths the calm myself. The weight of the power slowly lifted off of me and when I saw my eyes I smiled. Hazel. For the moment at least I felt almost relaxed. My vision wasn't as focused and I had hardly noticed Tony and Natasha walk over to me. Nat put her hand out to Tony so he would stop but that wasn't gonna work for him. He basically shoved her out of the way and made his way back over to me.

"Jaedyn, your alright now," I put my hands up to stop him but he grabbed both wrists firmly. No matter how much I struggled his grip was tight enough that I wasn't going anywhere. As my vision slowly began to become clearer I saw dad take a box from Natasha and open it. Taking out these blue overlaid with gold plated . There was a a noise and I looked down and saw the bracelets being clamped down onto my wrists, what shocked me the most was that they started to glow. I pushed dad off of me and took a step back before I felt a dam break inside of me, the bracelets shining brightly. Whatever the braces did was a relief to me, the power left my chest and seemed to gather around my arms and wrists. The center point was the bracelets, I looked from the bracelets to dad giving him a confused look. "Princess?"

"What are these Dad?" I asked, he helped me walk away from the walls and we began to walk towards what I could only believe was the exit. Out of the corner of my eye I spotted Natasha rubbing her shoulder, I had hurt her. I would have to apologize later, when I wasn't so unstable.

"I designed and created these. They are based off the Tesseract's energy, the same as the staff that Loki wields. I had done my own test, and it seems that the same energy they both have. Is, in you." My eyes widened, it was in me? "The bracelets can be used as conduits," I gave him a strange look, confused. "Tools. So you can use them to control your, abilities." I nodded and grabbed dad's arm as we walked to the elevator. I felt him tense up when I did, he was nervous. When we got in the elevator, I held onto the railing focusing on the bracelets, making them glow.

"They can be used to control me?" I asked looking up from the conduits.

"Not control. Your in control of this, you just need to learn how to," We exited the elevator and I saw the doctor I had thrown with my powers. "So that can't happen again, unless you make it happen," Dad ushered me into a different room and motioned for me to hop up on the metal slab. Doing so I rested my hands, palms face up to me. I wanted to look at the bracelets. I was so focused on them when dad shined a bright flash light in my eyes I closed my eyes for a moment to adjust. "Now. Tell me about Germany."

"What do you mean, you know about Germany," My arms folded across my chest and I gave him a look, pleading for him to not ask me to tell him about what happened.

"How the hell did you get there, and don't give me that you don't know crap."

"This," I rose my hands showing him the bracelets glowing brighter as I was starting to get upset with him. "This is what happened, this is how I got there. This, gift. After you left, on my birthday. I woke up somewhere else. Loki didn't do anything to me, I appeared in Germany, in the dress. We talked for a bit, we danced, I guess. I didn't want to, but my feet moved faster than my brain at that moment and after that everything went to hell. He vanished, and I remember people pushing and shoving to escape what he was doing, the scream caused everyone to scatter. In the crowd I saw Loki and his clones I guess. He kept us all in this circle, like caged animals. Before Stev-, the Captain arrived I felt a swell that, I think could have leveled that block. I was so angry, with myself, you, Loki. And I don't even know why." I closed my eyes tightly shut, my voice breaking as I finished speaking and my hands gripping my hair tightly.

"You were fighting with Loki by the time I got there and I hardly recognized you Princess," He sat across from me his hands gripping the sides of the table tightly. As I saw him do that I did the same, and felt the table I sat on start to shake and lift slightly off the ground.

"I really don't want to talk about this Tony-" Me saying his first name was never a good idea, especially in serious moments.

"Hey!" My eyes flashed bright for a second, and the table that dad was on flipped over. I gasped and my hand extended out to him, focusing on stopping his fall. He slowly came to a stop mid-air and I waved my fingers up towards the ceiling. The whole situation ended with him sitting in the same position he was in before he fell. "My god, Jae..."

"I'm sorry, I just," I took a deep sigh before I continued. "I don't want to talk about it dad..."

"Look Jaedyn Maria... Of course you don't want to talk about it. And you will never want to talk about things that are hard. But keeping things inside doesn't make it hurt any less, you just hurt the people you shut out..."

"You think I wanted to shut you out?" My eyes narrowed to him, my anger rising. "You shut me out first, when you came back," I paused looking at the ceiling to try and calm myself. "When you came back from Afghanistan you shut me out. And everyday since then I've just wanted to be able to take care of myself so you wouldn't have to worry about me. So, I've been learning self defense. Yeah, Happy has helped with it but you wouldn't let him continue because you were afraid of my injuries already. After Ivan, I didn't want to be reliant on you to come save me. The great Iron Man's protection."

"Jae, you are my daughter and I want to be able to protect you, that's all I've ever wanted in life. You, Safe." The two of us let out deep sighs that obviously showed we both had more to say, but I knew I couldn't tell him about the voice, I'm already strange as it is.

"All I've wanted was for my father to come home, alive," It hit him hard when I said that. And before I could think it through I was continuing to speak, my voice raising in hopes to get my words across. "You think I want to know you are out there every night in a metal suit, that I helped design. Fighting who knows who? It's hard," I began to rub my wrists the bracelets chaffing on my arms. "It's hard being your daughter some times," I watched the shades of blue change from the normal dark blue sky to a brighter rich blue. Clenching my hands, I focused the energy onto my own body, lifting slightly up off the table. I was testing the conduits and myself. I wanted to see how much control I had, and it worked, for a little while. But after a minute or so passed the tools around the room started to lift off the counters and hover.

"Jae, please. Just calm down," Dad's voice echoed in my head, and I started to here my own voice whisper in my head. No, if your angry. Let him have it. Show him just how pissed you are. Slamming my hands on the metal table I sat on, the tools fell the blue hue fading away. I could feel the swell of energy die within me and I stuffed my hands into my pockets. "Jaedyn," I felt dad's hand on my shoulder drawing me back to my own reality. "Do you remember that night with Obadiah?" I took a sharp breath at his name, that mad man is who started this. "When he took this piece of metal out of my chest," His other hand tapped on his chest, where I saw the glowing pieces of metal seeping through his shirt and remembered that dreadful night. "I looked over to you, I was seeing the tears fall down your face, and you screaming at Obadiah, wanting him to stop. Then all I saw was memories, the good and the bad of our family. Pepper, Rhodey, Happy, and you." I bit my lip trying to not get upset. I didn't want to be upset any more.

"I'm able to take care of myself Tony," I took my hands out of my pockets, raising my hands up, forearms up towards the ceiling. "With these, I'm able to control it. I can feel it in me."

"I should have been able to stop you from having to control it, I should have stopped it completely," He sighed heavily, He says he should have stopped me, this man. Who has raised you, cared for you. He want's you to get control but I can tell you one thing. When control is taken it shall be mine.

"Oh shut up," I mumbled under my breath, dad giving me a confused look. "Forget it," I hopped off the slab and walked out of the room, Tony's feet shuffled behind me as he followed me. So I walked faster, that turned into an almost jog as I reached the nearest bathroom. Locking the door and resting my back against the door. The energy in me started up again. ​​​​​​​Why not allow him to help, he wants to help you. "Go away you psychopath... Your not going anywhere near him." Oh but I can.

"Little Stark, are you okay? Your thoughts seem to be louder than normal," I gripped my head hearing Loki's accent in the walls of my head as well.

"Both of you just shut up!" I exclaimed and rose my hands up to my ears the bracelets glowing and it shattered into the drain. "Oh god."

"Jaedyn Maria!" Tony's voice yelled to me through the door when he heard the shattering glass.

"I'm fine Tony!" I yelled and threw my hand towards the door, the center of the door split down the middle. A small crack of light peaked through.

"It seems you are far from fine young Stark." Loki's voice echoed throughout my head again. I began to pull on my hair, hoping it would go away. Making my way over to the shower I turned on the water and stepped into it. Taking a deep breath I let the water fall down my hair and the noise of the water hitting my head. All of the voices were muffled, everything around me and in me started to fade away and I started to drift into an almost abyss. My body slowly fell down along the wall my eyes resting closed. Small tingles started up from my hands then all up along my arm. When I went to open my eyes I felt a sharp pain in my chest. I could not open my eyes, and I suddenly couldn't breathe. I heard the door get kicked in and then I'm suddenly pulled out of the water and picked up.

"God, Jaedyn!" I gripped tightly onto Dad's arm that had wrapped around me. My eyes shot open and when I looked around I saw the bathroom stalls tore apart. The mirrors and sinks shattered to pieces and my body shaking in dad's arm. "I got you baby, I got you Jae. Just breathe Princess..."

"Make them stop, make them stop dad. Please," I kept repeating it as dad hushed me, smoothing my wet hair away from my face.

"Stop who Princess?" He whispered to me, You say anything and the next second, I will kill him painfully slow... I will take over you, and I will kill him. I didn't say anything now I just let Tony hold me. "Stop who baby."

"Dad-," I began to think of a story to spin. "I just keep thinking of what Obadiah and Ivan. What they said to me, what they did to me. I just... I just keep reliving it." Dad's eyes softened as he looked into mine.

"Jae I didn't know..."

"It's overwhelming and I haven't been sleeping well, or at all really..." I mumbled keeping my head low and avoided his gaze.

"Have you been taking your sleeping pills?" I shook my head once and I heard him heavily sigh. "Why not?" His voice was a little stern now. "You know I hate it when you go all silent, it doesn't help Jae."

"I just don't want to take the pills anymore, they make me feel really numb, and I don't like that feeling. You know... I just see it all again. You dying, over and over. I see Obadiah killing you and then killing me. I relive the torture that Ivan inflicted onto me. It's too painful dad..." I pushed him off of me and wiped a few fallen tears off my face. "I'm dealing with it all though. My Dad being a superhero, me being Iron Man's daughter, me being kidnapped not once but twice. Now I get to worry about this?" I rose my hands, the braces started to glow and pieces of rubble started to lift off the ground and I lowered it back down taking a breath to calm myself.

"You don't have to worry about being scared anymore Princess, I've got you. I'll always be here for you. I'm not going anywhere. And this?" He motioned to the slightly blue hue of objects. "It's all going to be okay. We'll get through this together," He slowly rose his hand and folded down all of this fingers except his pinky. "I pinky promise..." A smile crossed my lips as I chuckled and rose my hand as well doing the same.

"Pinky Promise," Dad wraps his pinky around mine and then pulls me into his chest, hugging me. During the hug he kissed the top of my head and we started to walk out of the broken bathroom I destroyed. It didn't take long for us to get from the bathroom up to the bridge. Stepping off the elevator, I saw everyone's eyes on me. Natasha, Bruce, Fury, and Thor standing around the table. It didn't take long to feel the whole stations room grow awkward. I ducked away from everyone and sat down in a chair, pulling my legs close to my chest. Resting my eyes and enjoying the silence, though it never lasted long.
