Disclaimer: I do not own Marvel, I do not own the Avengers. If I did, then we would all know the answer to what really happened in Budapest and there's be a Strike Team: Delta Movie. I was inspired by two fanfics Loki Must Die and Frozen Web, specifically a small scene in Loki Must Die. I've seen this movie about five times (this year so far), hopefully I have a better idea at what I'm doing.
Chapter One: The Escape
Midgard was truly a fools realm, Loki couldn't help but shake his head at the foolish humans. Such simply creatures, roaming the world with the hysterical idea that they could be protected by five mere mortals and his oaf of a brother. Where were their precious Avengers now? With the whole world practically falling apart at the seams, the heroes were no where to be seen. Sure there was the soldier in blue along with a new ally to join him and Agent Romanov, but even then the Avengers were not officially fighting Hydra as a team.
Hydra, had Loki known they were going to cause such chaos on Midgard, he would have waited. The son of Laufey would have bought his time patiently, the entire war could have been avoided. While it was risky, Thor would surely ensure the completion of the Bifröst wouldn't be delayed, his death amongst the Asgardians would make his return all the more triumphant and heroic. Loki couldn't help but explore this idea, explore this possibility had he known Hydra would become such a threat. Loki could have avoided the war, the entire invasion if he knew, he could have arrived on Midgard, right when the planet was in a state of desperate panic, and annihilated the delusional humans. One does not necessarily need to cut off the heads, for fire would work just as well, and lead to a more successfu kill.
But Loki wasn't going to dwell on it, he had to focus and wait. He didn't spend months, feigning his inability to escape his cell in Asgard, just to meditate in peace and observe Midgard from afar. He had plans, dark plans to eliminate the Avengers. His divide and conquer technique may have failed but Loki was not the Frost Giant to have a one track mind and have only one idea. No, Loki had plans to get his vengeance, and it would be slow and merciless.
Loki briefly closed his eyes, expanding his own mind to view Asgard. Viewing Asgard was a lot harder than it was to observe Midgard, but there he saw Thor speaking with the All-Father, just in the beginning of ending their conversation. Loki had been observing Thor cautiously, waiting for his brother to take advantage to the Bifröst so he could escape to Midgard with him, undetected. S.H.I.E.L.D. would notice Thor's arrival but finally, Thor's shadow proved to be beneficial for him, for no one would notice him when going to greet and welcome the son of Odin.
The frost giant stood, walking to his door with footsteps that rivaled the hush of a mouse. He didn't have a lot of time, Loki could see Thor retreating from the All Father's throne room, making his way to cross the magnificent city. He placed his hand on the small doorknob, ice softly crackling as it expanded over it, taking refuge inside the lock itself, coating the tumblers. Loki had grown stronger in his exile, not just in magic but with his innate abilities as a Jotun. Loki smirked and suddenly twisted the nod quickly, with inhuman speed that snapped the lock in two.
The door slid open smoothly and Loki stepped out into the hallway, glancing left and right before he proceeded down the hall. Loki walked briskly, glancing now and then at the cells he passed, a hand stretching out and freezing the locks similarly to his own. Whenever Loki was acquainted with a guard, he would shoot his hand out, and freeze them into a statue before he continued onward towards where his staff was hidden.
Loki found his staff amongst the possessions of his fellow prisoners, resting across the hall. He strode over to it, gripping it in his hand and stared at the blue glow. It seemed to brighten once it was in his hands covering the right side of his face in a blue glow. His features twisted into a smirk as he closed his eyes, watching his adopted brother as he approached Heimdall, standing in the new Bifröst. His eyes stared at the blue gem embedded in his staff, his smirk turning more confident as his plan became so much closer to becoming a reality. And part of that plan involved two very deadly and lethal people, people he was ecstatic to turn into his personal flying monkeys.
With a sense of victory and adrenaline filling him, Loki closed his eyes and disappeared into one of his many secret passageways to Midgard, giddy at the idea that his revenge would soon be upon him.
Yes, this is chapter one. Not much action, mostly Loki's private intentions. If anyone is confused, Loki expanding his mind is the same thing he sort of did in the movie. Remember when he was on Earth but telepathically conversing with the Chitari, it was like that, but he was observing over Earth and Asgard. That's how he knows all of this, because I mean, Asgards pretty isolated and unaware of this.
And the freezing thing, why didn't Loki do that in the Avengers? Literally, he could have killed Tony by freezing him. Then they all would have died because of the nuke except maybe those people in the basements and subways *shrugs*. I had to incorporate the frost giant thing.
Loki's thoughts on Hydra are my thoughts on Hydra sort of. Seriously, if he had waited, he could have swooped in and been the righteous hero! Literally, he could have lied and said exile had changed him for the better and he had expected to accompany Thor and whatnot... Then take over the planet. He so didn't need the Chitari. Please review, please guess who the "puppets" will be. Also, if someone's got a better title name, I'm willing to listen to it.
Also, for any of you who read my OC story on here, Hail Hydra: An Unwanted Destiny, I finally say Captain America: The First Avenger. The Red Skull could be alive, he could be! What, it's a portal to the other side of the galaxy... But- I don't know... It sort of lost it's possibility. Does that make sense? Would it be tragic if I deleted it? What's the public opinion on that?
