While I walked behind the waving green cape, everything around me looked fuzzy. I couldn´t believe how easy it had been to convince him. What had I said? What was the word, the statement that changed his mind? Maybe he was abandoned as a baby, or his mother left him, probably his family never loved him. Whatever it was I was sure of one thing; He suffered as a child and with the fact that I was willing to give my life for my daughter I had gain his admiration.

But I couldn´t trust that he wouldn't hurt me, after all the man was insane; if I did anything to hurt his pride he would kill me without hesitation. When we stopped, he turned and faced me. We were in a huge room, probably a guest room.

"Here is where you will spend the night, tomorrow you will return home"

It took me two seconds to completely understand what he had said, and when I replied he was already leaving the room.

"Wait!" He turned with an interrogative look "I thought you were going to help me"

"And I am. I´m ignoring your felonies and giving you the opportunity to return home" I was probably red by now. I walked toward him ignoring our obvious high differences, this wasn´t a really smart move, but I did it anyway.

"No"

"I beg your pardon?" Loki raised an eyebrow with a puppy eyes look, the kind of look any girl would melt with, but not me, it took more than some pretty eyes to convince me that everything was okay.

"I said no. I´m not returning home, no without Hayley"

"Hayley?"

"That´s my daughter´s name. She´s six years old"

"And how you plan to get Hayley back?"

"Well you´re going to help me"

He started to laugh showing his teeth, he had an evil and cold laugh that made me shiver. He inclined his head so it was closer to mine and smiled saying

"Why would I do that huh? What do I get in return?"

I waited a couple of seconds to answer

"Humans worship, their real admiration. Once you show them you can help them if you want to, that you can protect them if you wish to, they´ll worship you. That´s how we work, blind us with kindness and we will do anything you want"

He thought about it for a second but he replied

"I don´t need their approval"

"I would think about it if I were you, what would be there for the avengers to avenge if humans were happy like this, if they claimed they are better with you?" I could see him struggling with himself, I had him.


LOKI

"The avengers are over!" I hated she had mentioned them, but the avengers weren´t over and we both knew that. I was always the one offering alliances, the one with the plan and the convincing skills. The way she talked made it so difficult to reject her offers; I bet that even if she didn´t have her self-evident beauty she would still be able to make everyone do what she wanted.

"Besides, I don´t know who took her, but I know why" That caught my attention ever more, damn it.

"I´m listening" I hated her long pre-attack pauses. If anyone else made them I would take the opportunity to attack, but this woman had something that made me want to know what she had to say.

"She is different. She can do things not many humans can do"

"How different?"

For the first time her pause seemed to be because she was really out of words, and was trying to find the correct ones

"She is a mutant"

She spent the next hour explaining me what those mutant-creatures were. I started to wonder if any avenger was a mutant, but as she explained me how it was I discarded that theory. What cough my attention the most was something about omega-level

"Is that Hayley girl an omega-level?"

"Yes"

"And what can she do that makes her so valuable?" I started to get an idea of who might have taken her and if I was right, I was in big trouble.

"She can control energy, all sorts of energy" Was her response

"Damn"

"Excuse me?" At first I didn´t understand what she meant, but then I noticed I had thought out loud

"I know who has her" She raised an eyebrow curious and with a hopeful look that erased as soon as I spoke again "You can take her for dead"


A.N/For those who doesn´t know in Marvel´s comics omega-level mutants are the most powerful ones, almost indestructibles.
