I smile exuberantly, my hands waving in the air to emphasize my point. Suddenly, I hear heavy footsteps and hear Thor's voice.
"Who is this girl? How did she get in here?" he boomed. I look at him, and then glance at Loki, smiling coyly. I get up and start running down the hall, away from Thor. Pounding footsteps resound behind me as his guards give chase. I round a few bends, and then turn to face the guards, knees half bent, fists in front of me, prepared to fight.
The guards step forward slowly, and I smile at them, a smile very similar to Loki's. They frown and I teleport to a bend just out of Thor's sight. Standing straight and tall, I change myself to look like one of the two guards who were chasing me. Then I rush around the corner, "out of breath" and panting.
"Sir, she got away. Just vanished in a puff of smoke!" I say between breaths. Thor frowns and turns to Loki, furious now. I can tell that only Loki's cell is keeping Thor from pounding his brother into the ground. Loki smirks at him, and then turns to me.
"Maddie…" he says, scolding. Thor turns back to me with confusion on his face, but I have already turned back into myself. I smirk at him. His mouth drops open, and just then, the two guards run around the corner. They stop cold at the sight of me.
Thor's hammer flies toward me. I do a backflip over it. He throws his hammer again, and this time, I jump into the rafters.
"Brother, I don't think you're going to be able to hit her," Loki says. Thor gives up trying to hit me and instead frowns up at me.
"Who are you?!" he asks angrily.
"Name's Magdalena," I say, dropping down to hang from the lowest rafter by my knees. "But you can just me Maddie." Thor grits his teeth.
"Oh!" I say, feigning surprise. "You wanted to know more than my name, didn't you? Why didn't you just say so?" I backflip off the rafter, twisting around in midair so that I land facing him. With a wave of my hand, I bend the metal in the floor like a liquid, forming it into two throne-like chairs. I do the same to the metal in the floor of Loki's cell. Sitting down, I become serious, all the joking gone from me for the moment. I look at the ground and start to speak.
