Author's Note:

Woo! This one was fast! I'm kind of proud of myself. Just a side-note, you don't have to read A Giant with a Small Heart, but it'll help with how Thor and Loki know Kari and have a good sibling relationship... relatively speaking.

Chapter 1

The crowd's fear almost choked me as we hovered over the spectacle Loki orchestrated. His cruel excitement made me want to throw him through the building. Just because we are siblings, it doesn't mean I can't hit him… or throw him. We listened for a little bit to understand what he was trying to accomplish. But with every word that came from his mouth, my anger kept on building. How could my brother change so drastically? I took in his appearance though, from in this jet I could barely see his eyes. They looked tired while he looked like he had withdrawal symptoms. I don't know what he was missing to make him look that way… but I knew it wasn't something good.

"Is not this simpler? Is this not your natural state?" Loki asked the crowd. I knew the people could understand him. We had the Allspeak, which means we can speak any language. If we speak English others will hear it in their language.

"It's the unspoken truth of humanity, that you crave subjugation. The bright lure of freedom diminishes you life's joy in a mad scramble for power, for identity. You were made to be ruled" Loki continued as he walked down through the crowd. "In the end, you will always kneel"

"Not to men like you" An old man said defiantly as he stood up. He looked Loki in the eyes. My heart raced when Loki became cruelly pleased that someone stood up. He wanted to make an example.

"There are no men like me" Loki argued with a smile.

"There are always men like you" The man responded.

I tapped Steve's arm lightly, silently telling him to do something. Natasha opened the back and waited for Steve and me to jump out.

"Look to your elder, people. Let him be an example" Loki declared as he readied to shoot the old man.

Steve jumped in the way and held up his shield. I landed behind him and next to the old man. The beam ricocheted off the shield and into Loki's stomach. The reaction caused Loki to flip to the ground in between the kneeling crowd. Steve finally stood up and looked at Loki. His anger boiled my insides, but I didn't take heed.

"You know, the last time I was in Germany, and saw a man standing above everybody else, we ended up disagreeing" Steve commented as he neared Loki. I turned and made sure the old man was alright. He nodded quickly and hid behind me. I turned again and faced them.

"The soldier" Loki said in disbelief, but he stood up with a chuckle. "The man out of time"

"I'm not the one who's out of time" Steve corrected.

I heard the Quinjet hover behind us with Natasha saying on the PA,

"Loki, drop the weapon and stand down."

It looked like Loki was contemplating it, but that was interrupted by his sudden blast at the jet. Steve threw the shield at Loki and it bounced off him.

"Get out of here!" I screamed at the crowd.

I didn't fight Loki but I made sure the civilians were out of the way of the fight. I saw Loki hit Steve away with the hilt of his spear, so I jumped in with my own. I jumped to get a good angle but Loki tried to blast me away. I dodged the beam and landed next to him. I swung the blade at his head but he ducked. He retaliated with a hit to my stomach, which I blocked. I attempted to kick him, unfortunately that didn't play out. He escaped the blow and moved behind me. I saw Steve's shield fly over my head but the shield was hit away with Loki's spear. I didn't dare hesitate to hit him with my hilt of my spear. He slid away a bit by the force. I ducked and allowed Steve to hop over me.

Loki swerved away from Steve's blow. He landed and matrixed Loki's swing. Steve dodged another swing and tried to punch Loki in the side. Poor Steve was knocked away with the back of the blade for his efforts and landed on his stomach. I jumped in, morphed my spear into a hammer and swung at Loki. The force knocked Loki to his back and I swung another time to try and pin Loki to the ground. He flipped backwards onto his feet and shot at me. The blast collided with my stomach. This caused me to fall to my stomach. I curled into a ball of pain. A ping of concern rang from Loki but… something else forced it down.

I couldn't look up to see the fight but I did hear Steve groan. I heard "Shoot to Thrill" by ACDC play from the Quinjet. Someone's familiar pride rang through my ears and caused me to look up. I smiled as I saw a red and gold suit blast Loki back and land. I got up and ignored my body's screams of denial. I summoned my spear and stood next to Tony Stark in a defensive position.

"Make your move, Reindeer Games" Tony said challengingly.

Loki's helmet dissipated while he held up his hands. I heard Tony's weaponry clip back into his suit as he said,

"Good move"

"Mr Stark" Steve greeted as he nodded in his direction.

"Captain" Tony responded.

I let out a sigh before I sagged I looked at Tony through the slits and shook my head in disappointment.

"You could've played a better song"

They both looked at me, Steve had his signature "Really?" look while Tony did his "Meh" head tilt.

We all stood away from Loki, who was sitting in his chair strapped in. I held my stomach as I leaned on one of the chairs furthest from Loki. I didn't bother listening to their conversations. Instead, I focused on what Loki's emotions were. I could sense a few glances coming from him while his concern sprang into my sore stomach. But every time his concern flourished, it was cut down by an unknown force. My train of thought derailed as I sensed Steve's annoyance bounce into my head. I looked at Tony and Steve as they spoke.

"Fury didn't tell me he was calling you in" Steve said

"Yeah, there's a lot of things Fury doesn't tell you" Tony responded as his disappointment grew.

My heart skipped a beat when I heard loud thunder. I looked at Loki who was looking up in fear. The thunder rumbled even more.

"What's the matter? Are you scared of a little lightning?" Steve taunted as I summoned my hammer.

"I'm not overly fond of what follows" Loki responded as he kept looking around.

The jet quaked by something landing on the roof. Or should I say someone. I neared Loki a bit to protect him from the imminent danger. The jet shook even more and caused us to almost fall down. Tony put on his helmet while Natasha tried to adjust the jet. Tony pressed a button to open the rear hatch but before he could investigate, Thor landed in front of him. Loki's fear hopped through my legs before I tightened my grip on my hammer. Tony powered up his gauntlet, but was cut short by Thor punching him with Mjolnir. Tony fell into Cap and they both tumbled. Thor glared at me and waited for my response. I gave a sigh before I nodded slowly. He jumped off and flew away. I groaned but reluctantly jumped off after him.

Author's Note:

Like I said before, it isn't required to read A Giant with a Small Heart, but it is helpful to know who the character is (Kari).

Did you like how I described Steve and Tony's looks? I didn't know how to describe the emotion the were feeling when they do that so I just brainfarted this... Yep, that's how you do it...

Without further a due I'll...

See you in the next chapter ;3
