Lady Light

Asha giggled madly as Steve gently tossed her to Thor, Thor then tossed her to Bucky (Who's memory Asha had restored by accident that still caused Clint and Tony to laugh until it hurt), and Bucky back to Steve. Asha was a tiny nine-year-old, and they were able to toss and catch her like she weighed nothing at all. Tony had accidentally started the game when he had made an offhanded remark about how Bucky wouldn't be able to catch Asha if she was thrown to him. Thor proceeded to pick up Asha and toss her to him, startling everyone. Steve demanded that Asha be put down safely, and plucked her out of midair as Bucky threw her back to Thor. The game continued when Asha had looked up at Steve with big green eyes and pouted.

Tony, Bruce, Erik, and Jane were arguing half-heartedly about some particle, while Clint, Natasha, and Rhodes discussed who was going to get yelled at first by Pepper, and Sam and Darcy watched.

A door banged open, freezing everyone in place. Thor's hammer flew to his hand, Steve stepped in front of Bucky, who had caught Asha and tucked her into his side, Clint readied an arrow, Natasha had a gun out and aimed, Tony was ready to call his suit to him, while Bruce looked over in alarm. Everyone relaxed when they saw that it was only Pepper, leading Fury, Hill, and Coulson into the room. They slipped on a patch of ice that appeared under their feet.

"Good, Lady Asha! Thou shall be powerful when thee grows!" Thor exclaimed. Not thinking, Bucky tossed her to Thor, who was a few feet away.

"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING TO MY BABY GIRL?!" Pepper shrieked, running over and taking Asha from Thor. As she started to berate Bucky, and then the other two when Jarvis told her they had been involved, Rhodes passed Clint a twenty dollar bill as he had lost their bet.

"She is not your child. Daisy Potter is the daughter of James and Lily Potter, and we have come to claim her." an old man said. He had a long white beard and hair, and there were at least forty more people behind him.

"Who the hell are you?!" Tony growled, pressing a button to summon his suit.

"Who I am is not important. Hand over the child and no one will get hurt." he said. He raised a sick and pointed it at Thor - who was holding Asha - before Steve moved so that he and his shield were in between him.

"He Tis an evil sorcerer." Thor rumbled. Clint released an arrow and they watched as a greasy haired man burnt it to ash. After that, all hell broke lose. Fury, Hill, and Natasha shot bullets at them, and watched as shields appeared out of the sticks. Seeing the bullets and arrows not working, Natasha, Clint, Bucky, and Steve all charged at them, while Thor threw his hammer and took down the shield and at least five of the attackers. Fury and Hill's bullets hit their targets, four more went down before the shield went back up. Bruce roared and the Hulk quickly took his place, only to be hit by over a hundred cheering charms and calming charms within a few heartbeats, forcing the Hulk back enough that they could bind him. Clearly, they had come prepared

Thor passed Asha over to Jane, and she, Erik, and Darcy - with Sam as protector - made to run for it when the floor blew up. Turning, they saw Tony, Rhodes, Thor, Bucky, and Steve fighting. Thor had fifteen that were trying to overwhelm him by disappearing and reappearing in different spots. Fury, Hill, and then Bucky all were frozen in place. Steve ended up the next to fall, unable to twist away from an on coming spell. Clint and Natasha had taken down at least ten combined, before one of the ones fighting Thor whirled around and froze them. The same one took down Sam, seeing that he was the next biggest threat. Jane and Erik both were taken down, before Darcy tasered him. Asha watched terrified as Thor was the last one fighting, Tony and Rhodes' suits having been encased in ice and Darcy knocked out by a spell.

Asha made ice appear and shot ice at them, trying to help Thor. Clint had taken her under his wing (pun intended) and taught her her perfect aim. She used that and took down at least another three people before a greasy haired man grabbed her in a painful grip. Asha yelped, and that was enough distraction to take Thor down. The white haired man vanished the dead and injured wizards and witches, before turning to the one holding a fighting Asha. Once he was sure that the man had Asha in a firm grip, he turned to Tony.

"I am terribly sorry, Mister Stark, but Daisy is needed. You may have adopted and changed her name, but she still has a destiny to complete." a man with a long white beard and hair said.

Each of the Avengers were frozen, unable to move. They were being held by magic, the kind that Asha had. Asha had only been with Tony and Pepper for two years, and the Avengers for eight months. Each of the Avengers, as well as Pepper, Fury, Coulson, Rhodes, Jane, Darcy, Erik Sam, Bucky, (Who Asha had deprogramed by a happy accident) and Hill - all looked like they were going to dismember each of the magic users as painfully as they could. Asha had carved a firm place in each of their hearts, and now she was being ripped away and there was nothing that they could do about it.

Asha was being held in a painful grip by a man with greasy hair. She was struggling with everything that she had, but she was still only a small nine-year-old.

The spell on the Avengers was realised just as the magic users disappeared. Steve and Thor threw their respective weapon's, only for them to hit nothing. Tony broke out of his suit with the help of Clint and Fury, while Bucky and Natasha helped Rhodes.

Part two: The Avengers

"Who the hell were they?" Jane demanded.

"I have no idea. Jarvis?" Tony asked.

"They are not in any DATA base that I can find." Jarvis said.

"Come, my friends. All is not lost. Heimdall can see everyone in all the nine realms. I shall see where the little Lady Asha has been taken." Thor told them, before he could leave, Tony spoke.

"I'm coming. This IS my daughter that we are speaking about." Tony growled. Thor nodded, and no one was surprised when the other Avengers and Pepper stepped forwards. No one commented on Pepper being there, as she looked ready murder the next one who spoke. The rest of them stayed behind, in case Asha made her way back (Jane, Darcy, Erik) or stayed to keep hunting for her on foot (Bucky, Sam) or through the internet (Hill, Fury, Coulson).

The group leaving headed up to the roof, where they were brought up to Asgard. It proved how worried they were that they didn't even register the city around them.

"Prince Thor, Avengers, Lady Pepper, tis grand to meet thee." Heimdall told them, closing the Bifrost.

"Heimdall, we have come to seek out the Man of Iron's daughter, Asha Starkdottir. She has been kidnapped, and we know not where she is kept." Thor told him.

"The mighty Thor, not knowing something? How... shocking." Loki said smoothly, walking into the room. Tony lashed out. Before anyone - even the gods - could react, Tony had Loki pinned against the wall with an arm at his throat.

"We don't have time for this reindeer games. That is MY little girl being kept out there, and I swear I will find a way to kill you if you had anything to do with it." he growled. Steve pulled him off, and he stalked over to Pepper.

"Lady Asha is one of the magic users of Midgard, Loki. She has seen but nine summers." Thor glared at Loki. Loki lost his smirk, and frowned.

"I remember the child. She had much power, despite her young age. Who has taken her?" he asked.

"If we knew that, we wouldn't be here, frosty." Clint spat. Natasha had her hand on his shoulder, grounding him to the present. None of the Avengers were fond of Loki, despite knowing that he had not been in control of himself.

"I cannot see thy child, Man of Iron. She is being cloaked from my eyes by the Mages." Heimdall spoke, starring into the distance. Pepper turned and buried her head in Tony's chest, unwilling to believe that her daughter was gone. Clint and Natasha both glared at the wall, while Bruce pinched his nose. Tony looked ready to explode, his jaw flexing. Thor and Steve tensed and watched as Loki came forwards.

"What is the child's real name?" he asked. "Before thee ask me to leave, I may be able to see where even Heimdall cannot. I taught the Midgardians their magic. I will not leave a young Mage in the hands of ones that will harm her."

"Daisy Orchid Potter, daughter of James Potter and Lily Potter nee Evans. Her parents were murdered when she was fifteen months old, leaving her in the care of her abusive Aunt and Uncle. Tony and I adopted her when she was seven." Pepper told him.

"Before you say anything Tony, if there is ANY way that I can get my daughter back, you can be damn well sure I'll try it." she snapped at Tony who had opened his mouth. Tony closed his mouth and huffed.

Loki ignored them, and lifted a hand. He turned it so that it was palm up, and a dark mist appeared. Loki frowned, and tilted a head while staring at it. The mist briefly lightened before turning darker again. He mouthed different words silently while staring at the mist, but no change occurred.

"I know why Heimdall could not see the young one. She is hidden behind a spell that hides the one it was cast on from prying eyes. Had they used the easier form which merely hid the house, and then placed her in the house, I could find her. But the spell is one that not even I could break. I apologize, but it is unlikely you will ever see your daughter again." with his parting words, Loki turned and left.

Pepper started crying, and Tony pulled her close to comfort her. "We will never stop looking for Asha, I promise. Never." Tony swore, his voice wet.

"She's a part of this team. And we take care of our own. We will get her back." Steve agreed.

"If they harm a hair on her head I am going to show them just why I am called the Black Widow." Natasha and Asha had grown close.

"She was well named Asha, as she will need all of the Hope she can get." Bruce sighed.

Heimdall sent the Avengers back to earth, so that they could deliver the depressing news.

Part three: Asha Part one

Asha screamed, bit the one holding her, and kicked him in his soft spot like her Auntie Nat had taught her. He let go of her, and Asha raced for the door only to get grabbed by another. Asha was subdued by a spell that bound her in ropes.

"What do you want with me?" Asha faked being calm. Her Uncle Clint, Fury, and Coulson had taught her to remain calm if she was every kidnapped, and wait for rescue. She had been promised by all of her family that they would come and save her.

"Daisy Potter, you have a duty to this world to save it." the white haired man announced.

"I'm nine." Asha raised an eyebrow.

"I could have taken you back when you had first been kidnapped. That would have been easier then today." he continued on as though she never spoke. "But, I have a tome, a very old tome, that a magical child adopts some of the characteristics, traits, and powers of the child's family. Curiously, it holds true even if the child is adopted, even if they are non-magical. I left you with Mr. Stark, as I wanted you to gain his admittedly impressive mental capabilities. When the rest of the muggle's joined the tower, I knew that you should stay there to gain their abilities as well. Once you have been trained, vigorously trained, you will see what you have gained from each of them." He cast a spell over Asha, making her stiffen. Different symbols appeared, confusing Asha but making sense to the wizard.

"When you are trained, you will develop different powers. You will have the ability to control storms and lightning to a certain degree, you will never need glasses and have an affinity for Archery, be able to control your emotions and reactions - though you will have to watch your anger - you will be incredibly smart, and you will need little training in all of the different fighting ways." he listed.

"The storms and lightning come from the self proclaimed God Thor. The eyesight and Archery comes from the male assassin. Emotion control and reactions come the female assassins, though you will have to try harder with anger because of the green man. Also, because of the green man, you will be stronger when you are angry. Your brain power comes from Mr. Stark, and eventually you will come to be just as smart as he is, because of the bond that you two have. It is an incredible bond, one that I have never come across in all of my years. Your weapons capabilities come from your other 'family'. The other members of your family also gave you the ability to tell who is and is not a person to trust. It is nothing as specific as the others as you were not as close to them." he suddenly glared at the girl. Asha held back a flinch at the pure hate that he gave off.

"Why couldn't you have gained the super-soldier abilities?! That's the one that I wanted you to gain!" he spit.

"Steve is special. Steve isn't an uncle. He's something more." Asha told him with her own glare. She stood tall, ignoring the ropes binding her, and channeled her father and her uncle Bucky. Neither one responded well to authority, unless it was Steve.

"Don't sass me girl. I can have you killed with one word, and then you would never get to see your precious little muggle's again, now would you?" he said darkly. Asha held her glare.

"What makes you think I'm afraid of death? I haven't done anything wrong and Hela would make sure that to tell my family that I am being taken care of in the afterlife. Hela likes me cuz I helped her dad. I also got her uncle to spend more time with her, and that healed old hurts." Asha told them.

"I was going to let you spend the rest of the night and the day in your new room, but now I think you will be put into training, starting now. Severus, you are in charge. I will be back in one months time. I expect great improvements to be made with her training when I come next." with his parting words, the man left.

Asha struggled as she was untied. She was dragged painfully down dark and dreary hallway, and listened to a moving painting scream at her about being impure. Asha was thrown into a basement, where she surrounded herself with ice.

"I'm going to have fun breaking you. If Dumbledore will let me, I'm going to make you have red hair. You look like your mother other then your hair, and once I change it, I will have her back." the man chuckled ominously, and Asha backed away.

Part four: Asha Part two

Asha bit back a groan as she landed on her blanket on the floor. The men had had her for a year now, and her training had just been intensified again. Asha had stopped noticeably fighting against them, but started pranking everyone. Her Daddy, Uncles Clint, Thor, Bucky, and Sam, and her Auntie Nat had taught her the wonderful art of pranking. She worked on her ability until no one was able to figure of that it was her that had pulled the pranks.

Her kidnappers believed that she had started to hate her family for not saving her, so they had been getting better meals as reward. In reality, Asha had just started answering to the name Daisy, and had stopped speaking out against her family. Asha loved her family, and used her eidetic memory that she had gain from her Daddy to look up why she hadn't bee found yet. She discovered that she had been spelled, so that nothing could track her, not even the internet. Asha knew that if not for the spell, her Daddy would have beat down the door and found her.

Her first month of training had been interesting. She had not only been pushed to her limits, and pushed passed them, but she had also gain her Misfits. In the month, she had gained two twin redheads, a dreamy blonde girl, and a boy the exact same age as her. The twins, Fred and George, had been unwanted by their mother and father and, believing that Dumbles knew best, had given them to him to raise. They had been thrown into the same room as Asha, and quickly bonded. A few days later, the little blonde girl Luna joined them, her parents having been killed in an explosion. Luna was added into their family just as fast as the trio had adopted each other, and she was a joy for them to have. Neville was put with them a week later, his grandmother not wanting a squib in the family. The five children felt that they were complete, and two months later performed a ritual that made them all blood siblings.

Her brothers and sister had gained all of Asha's powers, plus Luna's foresight, fairysight, and animal speaking. They were finally able to see what creatures that she spoke about. Neville had given them the ability of plant manipulation, earth magic, and earth speak. They were, in a way, able to communicate with plants. The twins gave them Fire manipulation, wind manipulation, and a telepathic connection. The connection was how they were able to finish each other sentences.

Dumbles had not been please, and their training had escalated to how they could handle torture, a part which the man named Snape gleefully under took. They still had each other, which helped them through it without losing themselves and becoming something that they weren't.

A flash of flame appeared, and brought Asha back to the present. Turning, she looked at the Phoenix sitting on the edge of her pillow.

"Hey Fawkes." she greeted quietly. The others had all fallen asleep, each in their own cage. They were kept in five foot by five foot by five foot cells with a toilet, sink, and a blanket for comfort. The only good thing about their rooms was that they could all see each other, and that they only had four cells so the twins were kept together. They had been moved to cells after Asha had bound them together as siblings.

"I'm going to have to save us myself, aren't I?" she asked. He let out a mournful trill, and Asha had her answer.

"I will, don't worry. I swear that I'll get at least one of us out alive, so mote it might be." Asha swore, a golden light surrounded her at her oath. Asha rolled over, ready to sleep. Fawkes left, and Asha though that she would keep these siblings hidden from her Daddy if she was the only one to make it out alive, so that he wouldn't feel even worse. Asha didn't want he to feel bad about not saving her.
