"Well I won't be needed for a while." Janna said and left. She used the video monitors to find her way to Loki's cell.
She stood outside the door to the room with Loki's cell in it and turned invisible. She placed the kitten down in front of the door and pressed the button to open it. As if on cue the little kitten walked through the open door and Janna followed the cat in. The door closed behind them.
Loki was standing in the glass and steel prison just a few feet away.
Janna helped the kitten she had adopted and brought with her along so it walked and sat but a foot away from the glass of Loki's cell.
Loki turned his head slightly to notice the kitten walk in.
"What wonder have you conjured for me now?" he whispered.
Janna bent down to about half her height and breathed on the glass. Her breath caused a fog to appear and she wrote "kittens" with her finger into the fog. She wrote it backwards so Loki could read it.
The kitten stood up on its hind feet and pressed its front paws against the glass.
'Fabulous little actress.' Janna mouthed to the kitten.
Loki fully turned around.
"Wondrous magic indeed."
Janna couldn't tell if Loki knew it was a trick or whether he really was amazed. He didn't know a thing about her powers yet, he hadn't seen them yet.
The kitten saw Loki inside the cell and wanted some attention. It walked next to the glass and headed towards the door of the cell.
Janna walked over to the control panel and opened the switch that would open the door. The kitten heard the sound of the switch and looked that direction. As if it had opened the switch. Janna held out her arm and was ready to create a force field. The kitten finally made it to the door and Janna hit the button.
The door opened and as it did a force field formed blocking the entrance. Only a small portion was open near the bottom, only big enough for the kitten. The kitten bounded through the opening and attacked the floor on the inside. Then it rolled over onto its back, scratching at the air.
Janna then shut the door and allowed the barrier to disappear.
Loki saw all of this, but wasn't sure if it was a trick from Fury or if Agent Romanoff was sending him some sort of bargaining chip.
He doubted either was the correct answer.
Then he vaguely remembered a girl...and some blueberries.
He didn't see the girl anywhere around, however, he did sense someone's presence; someone who was close by.
He gave the kitten a disgusted scowl. "So this is the monster I've been told of? Is Fury going to build his retaliation on this creature?"
The kitten rolled back to its feet and looked up at Loki. It made a soft "meow" and looked at him with large eyes.
Janna walked up to the glass directly behind the kitten and began her messaging in the fog again.
"You have heart." It slowly appeared and faded. "But that heart is clouded. It is corrupted with pain."
Janna smiled at her reference. However she doubted this kitten was planning to control Loki's EVERY action...
Loki read the glass.
"Corrupted? Oh I doubt that." Loki walked over and picked the kitten up from the ground.
"Are you truly the master mind of this sorcery? Or is there another? Beyond the bounds of these walls, is there a being pulling the strings to your actions?"
Loki had the cat by the nape of the neck, and was looking into its eyes. The kitten yowled at the way Loki picked her up.
"You seem to possess only slight intelligence. I must give you that it seems."
He smirked until he slid his eyes to the kitten's collar. The tag read 'Loki'.
"Do you mean to cause a mockery of me?"
Finally fed up with the way it was being held, the kitten twisted its head around and sunk its teeth into Loki's hand. More startled than hurt, Loki released his grip, throwing the kitten away.
Janna saw the kitten flipping to land on its feet so she created a force field as a platform for it to land on. The kitten finished its flip and it stood on the barrier while looking curiously at Loki.
Janna new it would become tiring, but she continued having the kitten 'speak' with Loki.
"It was but the name I was given by the gods of old." The glass read. "I am here to lend you my knowledge, and be a listening ear to the troubles that shade your heart."
The kitten sat on the force field and flicked its tail.
"Knowledge? I have been blessed with wisdom greater than the likes of anything this planet has ever witnessed before."
Loki moved to around the kitten, watching it's every little move.
Janna mirrored Loki's moves to remain on the side of the glass he was facing. She created a second force field slightly higher than the first. The kitten saw it and hopped up. Then Janna let the first barrier disappear.
"The greatest wisdom is that of the future. I am sure you have not obtained this." The glass read.
"And how could you know the height of my knowledge?"
Loki turned away from the kitten.
"I am endued with power, great power, and this world will be within my possession."
"Then if you have no need of the future. I will be on my way. I just wish your defeat left you with a shred dignity." The glass faded.
Janna ran lightly on her feet to reach the button for the door. She moved the force field towards the door and Janna readied the switch to open it.
"My defeat?" Loki turned back to the cat, but with his usual scowl.
"I will not suffer the taste of defeat. Not this time or not ever again. I will rule this planet and your 'hero's will burn. Then return and describe to me the details of my failure."
Loki spat out the last word.
Janna opened the door and had the cat exit the same way it entered, with the force field blocking the exit from the prison. The force field the kitten was sitting on lowered to the ground and the kitten was glad to be on the floor again. Janna went back to the glass.
"My 'hero's?!" Amusement was apparent in the way the words were written. "You are arrogant. Too sure of yourself. You did not want my knowledge, you will not get it."
Janna nudged the kitten with her foot towards the outer door. It continued to walk that way.
"I will tell you, you're brother always falls for the same tricks. And this Agent Coulson I've heard of from the humans will be killed by your scepter."
"I have knowledge beyond all comprehension. My arrogance will be proven true by the destruction of this vessel." Loki watched as the kitten walked away.
"As for Odin's son, his ignorance will be his destruction, that much is true. He sees phantom glory in a false dream, and seeks love where none abides. He and the human will die, but my will makes it so; not your supposed powers."
"The near destruction of this vessel, sure. You underestimate their powers and will. If only your 'silver tongue' worked on gre-" The sentence on the glass was never completed and Janna opened the outer door for the kitten and left with it.
Loki squinted to read the rest, but the sentence never finished.
"Sliver tongue?" The term angered him a bit. It had been used on him before, in Asgard.
