Thanks for the support guys! I will update as soon as possible!
Loki was packing around his cell anxiously. He was hurt but more than that he was angry. He was angry at The Avengers. He was angry at this Captain Kirk. He was angry at this hideous black jumpsuit these mud monkeys had made him wear. The second time , he had hit the Avengers sudden and fast. That's when this bloody ship came buzzing out of no where and knocked the living daylights out of him.
When he woke up , he was encased in a glass box with no means of escape. All his items , even his clothes had been stripped away from him. He had a golden band around his neck that somehow prevented him from using any and all magic. It had a strange engraving , one that he could not read. Thor had explained to him what the ship was at first Loki wanted to smash Thor's head with his own hammer , because time travel? Who believed that? But Loki finally had to concede. And then Thor had stopped visiting and Loki's heart shattered into millions of pieces.
Twice a day , he would get food which he would just stomp angrily on. His metabolism was much stronger than the pathetic humans , but sooner of later he would need some form of sustenance. He had been in this cell for 2 months. He would have to find a way to escape and fast. He could feel his energy and will draining slowly.
The days went by quickly and Loki soon lost track of time. One fine day , he was sitting in his cell , trying to summon his scepter (but to no avail) when HE heard slow , deliberate footsteps as he stepped forward.
Captain America and Captain Kirk seems to be talking. Captain America and the other Captain Kirk were both full in their respective uniforms. Behind them was a man. Not an ordinary man. Loki knew humans on sight. This was not a human. At least not an ordinary one.
He had 10 guards surrounding him which puzzled him more. Who was this man that he needed 10 heavily armed guards to match him? What was he? His head was facing down , so he couldn't see much of him. He seemed to have floppy black hair and wore a black jumpsuit , similar to his.
They moved closer to the cell adjacent to his , not noticing him at first. "Captain , are we sure we can keep him here?" , Kirk asked as Captain America shook his head. "With all due respect , sir , it's our only option. And also , this is one of the most well guarded prison in the country. has personally assured me that Khan will not be able to match its technology"
"Khan" , Loki said quietly as suddenly the men turned to America shot him a dirty look to which he responded by baring his teeth and growling. The man surrounded by the guards suddenly looked up and smirked. He had blue eyes that seemed to mix with green. He didn't seem too concerned , though. Loki would soon know why.
"Loki wouldn't dare try his tricks" , Captain America said and Loki snorted, "You humor me , Soldier"
"You're refusing food and everything. How else do you expect to stay alive?" , Captain America said condescendingly and Loki bared his teeth at him , making a deep brutal sound. Kirk shot him a look too , but it was mostly curious. "Loki? As in Norse God?" , he said and Loki smirked. At last.
A man who knew. "The one and the only" , he replied as Khan watched him with vacant eyes , like he was analyzing him. Kirk suddenly turned to face Captain America with fierce eyes. "You mean to say we're putting the most dangerous person on the planet next to a GOD who's also a homicidal maniac?"
"I prefer the term the most dangerous person in the Universe" , Khan said smirking at the two arguing captains as a guard suddenly thwacked him on his head. Khan's eyes seemed to blaze dangerously before he composed himself. He shot Loki a look and then winked.
Loki could have almost laughed with manic glee. The things that the two Captains hated was a force to be reckoned with."Sir , I am asking you to trust us" , Captain America said and Kirk signed , running a hand through his hair.
"You have lost your goddamn mind , old man!" , Kirk taunted and Captain America almost growled , forgetting his calm , Khan was having a field day. He was smiling as if victory was already his.
"I don't give a damn about what you think. I am older in every sense of the word. Therefore , i have more experience. You don't argue with your superiors , soldier"
"I'm from the future!" , Kirk protested and Captain America growled.
"And this is not the future is it? So listen to me , son and listen good"
"I have a problem with authority" , Kirk taunted and Captain America replied grimly.
"Its not my problem"
"Whatever you say" , Kirk said irritable and started walking towards the exit gate. Captain America signed."Lock him in. Come with me"
The guards pushed him inside the glass prison and he complied easily. They shut the door and plugged in some numbers and then disappeared. "You're not human"
Loki looked up to see Khan had sat down on the floor in a meditating position , his handcuffs were now broken and on the ground."Neither are you"
"My name is Khan" , he said and Loki smirked. "I acquired that much. I'm Loki , God Of Mischief"
"Why did they feel the need to restrict you to this prison?" , he asked and Loki shrugged. "I killed pathetic mortals I felt were inferior to me. Wanting to rule the world is too much , it seesm"
"I killed for the same reason" , Khan said as Loki's eyes shot up and he smiled. "I feel that we will get along nicely , Khan"
Khan smirked. "I do not get along with ordinary people""It's a good thing I'm not ordinary , am I?"
It was around midnight. The only 2 people in the building were Khan and Loki. Outside , the place was swarming with guards. Inside , it was peace and quiet with just the two of them and the constant clattering of some machines. It was almost dark inside.
The only source of light was a small window , from which moonlight came streaming in , illuminating Khan's jet black hair. He hasn't moved at all. He was just sitting there in the same stared at him. "You've obviously got questions" , Khan said without opening his eyes. Loki looked away , slightly embarrassed that Khan had caught him staring but coughed.
"Why on Asgard are you meditating?"
"Not meditating. Waiting. Next"
"Waiting for what?"
"Not important. Next"
Loki scowled as he stretched his legs. He wasn't getting much answers from this person. Khan finally , signed , and opened his eyes. "What are you going to do when you leave prison?"
Loki smirked and replied ,"Assuming they ever let me leave prison , I'll come back here. I have no one to go to""Why?" , Khan asked , his face showing confusion.
"My brother , Thor. The glorious 'god'," he said making air quotes "of Thunder" , Loki scowled and Khan raised an eyebrow which made Loki laugh. "You see my so-called brother.." , he started and talked about his brother stealing all his glory. Khan listened quietly , never taking his eyes off Loki.
"It is an unwise decision to not let you rule" , he concluded and Loki smiled."My thoughts exactly""I am regretful about your father" , he said and Loki waved him off. "I want nothing more than to rule Earth and crush their sniveling mortals"Khan smiled.
"Would you like to come with me?"
"What?" , Loki asked looking at the man as he put a finger to his lips , indicating Loki to be quiet."What are you?" , Loki asked and Khan signed. "An altered human being. Lots of those in the future.
At least they were."Suddenly , a buzzing sound alerted him. He sat up urgently , looking at Khan who out of nowhere a machine suddenly materialized in Khan's cell.
"How did you.." , Loki started , looking at the metal cylinder in awe and Khan smiled. "You seem to forget that I am not from this time , God Of Mischief"Khan took out a device from the outside of the ship and placed it on the glass door separation them. In a moment , the device glowed red and the glass disappeared. Loki took a step forward , as Khan did the same.
"Loki" , Khan said , putting a hand on his shoulder. Loki shuddered at the contact , the man's frame more muscular than he had anticipated.
"That is in interesting necklace" , Khan commented and Loki scowled. "Asgardian. It was forged to prevent me from practicing magic. I cannot break it"Khan's hand suddenly reached out to Loki's neck.
His warm hands contacting with Loki's cold flesh. His pulse was racing as Khan thumbed with the band experimentally. He didn't even flinch when Khan broke it into two pieces like a stick of candy. Khan threw the pieces of gold on the ground in anger before he looked up to Loki.
"Come with me" , Khan pleaded and for the first time since they had been jailed together , Loki saw emotion in Khan's eyes. Loneliness , sadness, and anger."My crew.. They were destroyed. I am the last of my race" , he said sadly.
"I have been disowned , Khan. I have no family and no acquaintances. If you give me your word to seek vengeance upon who did us wrong , I will come with you" , Loki answered easily as Khan exhaled a breathe he isn't realize he was holding.
He suddenly composed himself , looking away and gesturing towards his metal contraption."You have my word , Loki. I will not stop till those who wronged us are punished" , he said quietly."Shall we?" , Khan asked after a minute and Loki grinned.
"We shall"
Loki stepped inside the cylinder. It was perfectly roomy , despite it's outside appearance. It had a control center but apart from that , it was fitted with one large bed and a sofa.
"It's...something" , Loki said , carefully choosing his words. Khan smiled and sat down in the control center and pushed some buttons. Suddenly the machine jolted , almost throwing back the Norse machine jolted some more. Loki held on to a latch tightly as he saw Khan twisting and turning buttons , his concentration on the contraption was remarkable. Almost immediately, the machine stopped jolting wildly.
Loki looked at Khan skeptically before Khan smirked and got up. "We didn't even move" , Loki said and Khan laughed. He opened the door almost enigmatically and Loki gazed out.
The sky was illuminated with stars and city lights. Loki gazed back at Khan who appeared to be proud his his machine. His pale skin was glowing in the moonlight. He peered out again , feeling a faint blue blush fill up to his were high on top of a building , it seemed. After looking at it for a bit , Loki suddenly remembered what this building was.
"I believe , the humans call this the Empire State Building" , Loki commented and Khan hummed in suddenly craned his neck and his eyes fluttered tiredly. Loki looked sheepish and shut the door , draining out the light in the room. Khan stepped back as he began pushing some more buttons.
"This should conceal us from all technology" , he said as he flicked on a switch and the machine's lights shut was pure darkness. Khan relaxed. Loki could see he was at ease with finally said, "You are human after all. You require rest"Khan nodded as he sat on the sofa , and took his shoes off.
"Being held in captivity must have really taken a toll on his well-being" , Loki murmured sadly , gazing out of the window."You may sleep on the bed" , Khan said and Loki had to mentally stop himself from grinning. He looked back to Khan , looking at him with a solemn face.
"Nonsense. I don't require sleep , Khan""I insist" , he said pointedly and Loki shrugged to show nonchalance. "Very well"He sat down on the bed and looked towards Khan. The man must have really been tired because the second his body had hit the sofa , he had fallen into a deep slumber. Loki could hear soft snores coming from the man.
He smiled mentally as he too laid down on the bed. Soon , his body reminded him that he could sleep if he desired. He shut his eyes and instantly , succumbed to darkness.
Loki awoke as soon as sunlight touched his face. He groaned at the pain his mortal shell was in. The Avengers had taken a toll on him. So had that Captain Kirk.
"Pleasant morning"
He heard a voice and looked to see Khan , lacing up his black boots. His uniform was changed too. Instead of the black jumpsuit , he wore a black shirt and leather pants.
"Your clothes have undergone a massive change" , Loki teased and Khan pointed to the other side of the bed where Loki saw that his old ensemble."My armor! And my scepter!" , Loki cried enthusiastically and Khan refrained from the urge to laugh at the God's childishness.
"Where did you acquire these?" , Loki asked as he picked up his armor. He closed his eyes and murmured a simple spell. Within seconds , he was wearing the clothes that Khan had got for him. His hair was slicked back neatly. He got up and saw Khan's eyes where'd wide but appreciative.
"Wait. These are my former clothes! I can feel my trace on them!" , Loki said , putting a hand over his armor and Khan nodded."I.. Had to break into the Avenger tower"
"What?" , Loki said in bewilderment. "You put your hand in the tiger's mouth?"
"That is an interesting euphemism. Although , this was a very clandestine operation. So you need not worry" , Khan said a smug smile painting his lips. "I noticed how uncomfortable you were in your previous clothes and since we are starting a new partnership , this is the first gesture of loyalty"
A moment passed by.
"Loki , why is your skin tu-"
"NO IT'S NOT"
"But your cheeks are blue-"
"NO THEY'RE NOT"
"Have I done somet-"
"NO!"
Loki forced himself to calm down as Khan studied him."Well , then" , Loki said , the scepter in his hand glowing with energy and a gun in Khan's belt locked and loaded.
"Where to next?"
