Chapter 4
Grey skies surrounded the Quinjet as the group made their way to the Helicarrier. It looked a massive storm was letting it's rage out in the skies. The only light came from the quinjet.
Natasha Romanoff, or 'The Black Widow' as some called her, was staring out the window, observing the crashing thunder and lightning.
Tony Stark and Steve sat next to each other deep in discussion, throwing occasional glances a Loki and Dekka.
Dekka was sitting on the floor, back to Loki, looking rather tired yet tense.
Loki, on the other hand, was glaring at her turned back his posture relaxed.
"I don't like it," Steve growled.
"What?" Tony glared at Loki, "rock of ages giving up so easily?"
"I don't remember it being ever that easy. This guy packs a wallop!"
"What about the girl?" Tony lowered his voice, looking at the raven haired glow who seemed to be very uncomfortable in the jet.
"I don't really know what to think of her," Steve admitted, "she just kind of appeared from nowhere."
"What do you mean?"
"One moment i'm jumping from the jet, preparing to challenge Loki, instead he's sent flying by a massive chunk of ice." Steve moved his hands to give an example of Loki's sudden attack.
Tony looked over at her again, wondering what to think of her. She obviously been dragged from wherever she had lived before and put through hell. She was wearing torn clothes and hair seemed to be tied up in a falling apart ponytail. Her ribs were visible through her jacket and face looked skeletal.
She had questioned there every action, asking where they were going and demanded to know all there names. She was determined he's give her that.
"Fury didn't tell me he was calling you in," Steve peered at him.
"Yeah," Tony was growing bored, "there's a lot of things Fury doesn't tell you."
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning rocked the jet, making Dekka jump up in suprise.
"Where is this coming from?" Natasha muttered under her breath, annoyed at the weather.
Tony noticed that Loki flinched.
"What's wrong?" The billionaire sneered, "scared of a little lightning?"
Loki met his gaze solemnly, "i'm not overly fond of what follows."
Another bright flash of lightning hit the jet, causing Dekka to topple over.
Then, the hanger door opened sending a blast of cold air into the jet. There stood a tall man, taller than Loki, he weld a massive hammer. He had blonde hair and body which was lined with massive muscles. Surging forwards, he grabbed Loki by the throat and jumped off of the jet, red cape flapping in the wind.
"And now there's that guy," Tony grimaced.
"Another Asgardian," Natasha called over the noisy wind.
"Think he's friendly?" Steve asked Tony.
"Doesn't matter," Tony shook his head, "If he frees Loki or kills him, the Tesseract's lost."
Tony Stark turned to jump, his face now covered by his red and gold Iron Man helmet.
"Stark, we need a plan of attack!" Steve pointed out.
"I have a plan," Iron Man grumbled, "attack."
And with that, he flew out the ship. Steve went to grab a parachute.
"I'd sit this one out cap," Natasha suggested.
"I don't see how I can," He adjusted the parachute.
"These guys come from legends, they're basically gods."
"There's only one God, ma'am. And I'm pretty sure he doesn't dress like that."
He looked over at Dekka.
"Dekka!" He called over to the girl, who was sitting on the floor watching the scene unfold.
"Yeah?"
"With me."
"Wait," She looked excited, "really?"
"Yes, now come on."
Dekka quickly ran towards the open ramp, preparing to jump.
"You might need a parachute," Natasha pointed out.
"No I won't," Dekka replied snarkily.
And then she jumped.
…
"Where's the tesseract?" Thor held his hammer right up against his brother's throat, gripping his collar.
Loki laughed, "I missed you too!"
"Do I look to be in a gaming mood?" Thor released Loki.
"Oh, you should thank me. With the Bifrost gone how much dark energy did the Allfather have to muster to conjure you here? Your precious Earth!"
Thor dropped his hammer and turned to Loki.
"We thought you dead." He looked at the rocky mountain floor.
"Did you mourn," Loki asked, a little emotion showing in his usually spiteful voice.
"We all did, our father-"
"Your father," Loki cut in, "He did tell you my true parentage, did he not?"
"We were born together, raised together!" Thor shook his 'brother,' "Do you remember none of that?"
"I remember a shadow. Living in the shade of your greatness. I remember you tossing me into an abyss!"
He paused.
"And our father…" He sighed.
"Is this about Es-"
"Don't say her name!" Loki shoved his brother away, making his way higher up the hill.
"Father only did what was right!" Thor looked at his brothers turned back.
Loki said nothing more.
"Where's the tesseract, Loki?"
"I've seen worlds you've never known about! I have grown, Odinson, in my exile! I have seen the true power of the Tesseract, and when I wield it-"
"Who has shown you this power? Who controls the would-be-king?"
"I am a king!" Loki's yell rang out throughout the european mountains.
"Not here!" Thor yelled back, twice as loud. "you give up the Tesseract! You give up this poisonous dream!" He placed a large hand on Loki's shoulder, "You come home."
"I don't have it. You need the cube to bring me home, but I've sent it off I know not where."
Thor snarled, giving up on his brother. "Listen well, brother I-"
In one instant, Thor was knocked of the mountain by a bright flying light.
"I'm listening," Loki shrugged.
…
Dekka felt the wind buffeting through her hair, she prayed to God this would work.
The ground came rushing up to her in one quick moment, but Dekka was quicker. In one smooth motion she shot out her palms creating a massive ice slide from her position in the air to the ground. She easily slid down it before coming to a halt against a tree.
Glancing up, Dekka looked up for the man Tony called Steve.
"Kid!" A voice behind her made her startled, "look out!"
Dekka looked up to see Iron man and the God from earlier crash through multiple trees, knocking multiple trees to the ground. In a moment panics, Dekka shielded herself with an ice wall to block a falling tree.
Dekka swung around to see Tony shooting Thor in the face, sending the blonde into a tree. Iron Man quickly ran up to him and headbutted him, it didn't have much of an effect. Thor copied him, sending him flying backwards. Dekka, seeing Thor about to launch another attack, decided to interfere.
In one swift movement, Dekka raised a massive wall of ice to block the God.
He ran straight into it, yet it smashed to pieces upon impact.
He turned to look at her, curiosity in his blue eyes.
However, in his moment of distraction, Tony crashed right into his stomach. Thor was sent tumbling through the branches at an alarming speed until he came to a stop when he knocked over a tree or two.
He chucked his hammer back at Tony, impatience obvious in his eyes until…
"Hey!" Steve ricocheted his shield off of the two, "that's enough!"
All of them seemed to be stunned into silence with the Captain's sudden appearance.
"Now," he turned to Thor, "I don't know what you plan on doing here-"
"I've come here to put an end to Loki's schemes!" He growled, interrupting Steve.
"Prove it," The soldier glared at the demi-god, "Put the hammer down."
Tony cocked his head in alarm, "yeah no, bad call! He loves his hammer!"
Thor growled knocking Tony backwards with his hammer, approaching Steve.
"You want me to put the hammer down!"
"Shit," Dekka muttered, prepared to shoot out an ice blast from the tree she was crouched next to. However, a split second later she was blown off her feet. She yelped when her head hit the solid trunk of a tree.
Rubbing her head, Dekka clambered to her feet to inspect the damage.
Anything within mile was damaged. Twigs from the knocked over trees lay on the ground. Dust rose from the ground, making Dekka choke.
All four people glanced around, taking a moment to realise the damage.
"We done here?" Cap asks.
Thor and Tony stood around, obviously hearing his statement just not acknowledging it.
"Yeah," Dekka panted, "we're done."
…
AN: Short one, I know, I just wanted to get this scene out the way with so this probably isn't the best chapter. I'm just glad I finished it. I'll write an explanation on why this story is so shitty in my next chapter.
