Prologue

"You have failed us, Loki." The leader of the Chitauri growled.

"It's not my fault the Hulk almost killed me!" Loki protested.

The leader stared at Loki with undisguised hate.

"We will give you one last chance." The leader muttered.

Loki nodded.

"Or else you will face our wrath."

The leader extended his arm and squeezed Loki's shoulder. Loki sank to his knees and moaned.

Burned to death. Fed to the Chitauri. Given to the Hulk. Tortured by the Avengers for eternity.

All these things were shown to Loki to show him what the consequences would be.

He stood up with trembling legs and felt the small fire of hate in his heart flare up and become a small wildfire. He hated the Chitauri and Avengers with every fiber of his being. And he would do whatever it would take to bring them down.
