Loki knew he had to kill Captain America. It shouldn't be that hard, really. He was only a pitiful human, and unlike that Iron Man guy, he didn't have a fancy suit of armor. The shield could be easily dealt with.
The reason for Loki wanting to do away with the good Captain? Well….
FLASHBACK
Loki had been chilling with the boss, Thanos, at some resort in Las Vegas. Thanos had gotten a coupon in the mail, and since their usual hangouts were dull and drab, they decided a little vacation couldn't hurt. To Loki's annoyance, that suck-up only known as The Other also got to come along!
So there they were, lounging around the pool (which they had all to themselves, since everyone had run away, for some odd reason…) when The Other dropped the bomb.
"Lord Thanos, I think Loki is too weak to defeat even one of the Avengers!"
Loki wasn't surprised. The Other was drunk, having raided the hotel's fridge, and Other always tried to make Loki out to be a fool. But not this time!
"Oh, and who have you defeated, oh mighty unnamed one?" Loki asked in a grand manner. He was quite the actor! The Other stuck his tongue out at Loki. Loki rolled his eyes at the Other's immature nature.
Thanos, who was trying to see how long he could hold his breath under the water, sighed. He wanted to be left alone so that he could drown himself!
"Very well. Loki, go kill one of these Avengers to prove yourself worthy. Other, shut up".
Loki gasped. He had to leave the Las Vegas resort? DARN THAT OTHER!
END FLASHBACK
And so Loki found himself in New York City, home of the Avengers, X-Men, Fantastic Four, and others. Loki wouldn't be surprised if a group called Super Dupers lived in the area. But it mattered not; Loki planned to make this a quick job. In and out.
Loki teleported inside Avengers Tower. If anyone was there, they probably would have choked on the green magical fumes. Loki looked around, and then paused when he heard an automated voice.
"Identify yourself. I am Jarvis, the butler."
Loki blinked. He didn't know that Tony had a talking tower. Thinking fast, he grabbed his magic staff, and fired a huge energy blast, destroying most of the tower. Loki grinned….until he realized that if Captain America wasn't home yet…he would be on the alert.
"Blast, that disembodied voice fooled me. This will not stand…" In disgust, Loki warped to McDonald's, the only place that was known to serve supervillains. Just last week, Whiplash had ordered eight burgers. He must have been famished!
After having six servings of large fries, Loki's mood had grown much better. It was no big deal; he could easily kill the Captain another day. He briefly considered killing Black Widow or Hawkeye; but no, that wouldn't be good enough to prove himself to Thanos! The Other would scoff!
Loki headed to the next place he figured Captain America would be – Avenger's Mansion. Because, obviously, the team needed two bases! Instead of stepping on the perfectly mowed lawn, Loki did his teleporting trick, and ended up in the bathroom. Black Widow was inside. She screamed.
A few minutes later, Loki was in the basement, trying to collect his thoughts. That hadn't gone well!
"How was I supposed to know that I would end up in the restroom? I just warped randomly. Why, oh why couldn't that American Captain have been inside instead?" Loki realized that talking with himself was probably a bad sign…
Still, he would not give up! He would find and kill Capt. America…or die trying! Lifting his fists in the air, Loki let out a war roar! Nearby, a chipmunk threw a nut at him.
Meanwhile, Thanos and The Other were having a drinking contest. Thanos was winning; The Other clearly couldn't hold his liquor!
To Be Continued
Well, it shouldn't be too hard for Loki to kill Captain America, right? Right? Well...
