In the dimly lit master bedroom in apartment 247 (of the abandoned apartment building across the street from Stark Tower) a woman screamed the cries of childbirth. A man with jet-black hair and intense emerald-green eyes stood next to her bed, gripping her hand tightly as she cried in agony
“Come on Sigyn. You can do this.” The man whispered softly. “I am not the god of medicine or healing, but I’ll do my best. I love you, and you won’t die. I promise.” Sigyn looked up at him, her blue eyes angry and piercing from the pain.
“Just help me Loki!” she pleaded. “I don’t need your…”
“Sigyn! One more push should do it! Come on, just stay with me!” Loki gripped his wife’s hand tight and cringed as she let out her final cry of pain. “Servants!” Loki’s command echoed through the building. Immediately, frost giants entered the room, cleaned up the baby and proudly announced that she was part frost giant.
When the baby was peacefully sleeping in Loki’s arms, Sigyn looked up at him and asked, as she drifted off into an exhausted sleep, “What’s her name?”
Loki held the baby high above his head.
“Her name is Dagger and she is burdened with glorious purpose.”

Meanwhile, across the city, at the hospital closest to Stark Tower, another newborn’s piercing cry rang out.
“She’s beautiful.” Clint Barton muttered.
“She has your chin.” Natasha Romanov replied. The child opened her stormy gray eyes and seemed to smile.
“Well, what’s her name?” Tony Stark asked impatiently.
“Melora, and her nickname is Lara.” Natasha responded, taking Melora from Clint.
“Just so ya know, she’s gonna be the most spoiled child ever.” Tony warned. Steve Rogers nodded, entranced by the little child. Thor stood over the bed.
“Hello little Melora.” Thor cooed. Lara reached up and clamped her hand around his finger, then jammed it in her mouth and started sucking on it. Bruce Banner laughed softly.
“This is going to be entertaining.” Pepper Potts said, smiling.

Hi to everyone that's read this so far.

I'm so sorry it's been so long since I updated. I started typing this out before I moved and then never really got to unpack before I found a new place.

More is coming!! I have so much of this written out that I need to type up.

Part of the delay is that I thought I was cool as fuck writing all of my part of the story in lime green and now I can barely read it. High-school me didn't think about my vision getting worse as I got old.

This was the rambling writing of two high schoolers that are now out of college, so I'm torn between posting it like we wrote it and editing as I type it up so none of you have to deal with my errors.

Thanks for reading this!
