Two chapters in two days, I'm awesome! I don't own anything but the plot and my OCs, which includes J.J.
Chapter 4
When Loki landed on the roof of the Avengers Tower, he didn't expect to get slapped by a Midguardian. He couldn't defend himself because of the shackles around his wrists.
"That was for attacking Manhattan," the woman hissed. She had strangely cut blonde hair and fair skin. She punched him in the face, splitting his lip. "That was for almost getting half my team and my sister killed." She then painfully forced him onto his knees and leaned in, lifting his chin to make his own green eyes meet her blue ones. "And that was for breaking J.J.'s heart." The Avengers were clearly confused, but did nothing to stop the woman.
"Victoria, that is enough," a familiar voice said. Loki looked up to see Lady Elizabeth of Gallifrey. She had attended several meetings on Asgard and was once a well known bounty hunter. Last time he had seen her, she had a different face, but Loki recognized her voice. s
"Lady Elizabeth, it is very nice to see you." The red haired scowled at the Mischief God, her grass green eyes narrowing at hi.
"I haven't forgotten what you've done to J.J., Laufeyson," she told him coldly, but helped him up and healed the bruises and split lip Tori had given him.
"Who's J.J.?" Clint questioned, asking the question everyone was wondering. Neither sister, nor the two Asgardians, responded. Liz turned to Thor.
"I sincerely apologize for my sister's behavior Your Majesty."
"I'm not," Tori announced with a scowl in Loki's direction.
"It is forgiven Lady Elizabeth," Thor told her.
"It is just Liz here Thor."
"Wait a sec, have you met Point Break and Reindeer Games before?" Tony asked.
"I have met Thor and Loki in the Asgardian Courts about 200 years ago, but Tori has not," Liz told him.
'How old is she?' Bruce thought.
"I am around 350 Dr. Banner," the Time Lady, no Gallifeyian, informed him with a small grin. Being telepathic, she could hear everyone's thoughts.
"Let's get down to business," Fury said. He didn't really want to have another awkward elevator ride back to the meeting room. "Since Loki has been sentenced to banishment on Earth, but destroyed his cell on the helicarrier, we were wondering if we could use one of your cells at the Star's base."
"Stars? What is that?" Steve asked, wondering if it was another modern term he wasn't familiar with.
"The Five Stars, Stars for short, is a female organization of bounty hunters and mercenaries," Elizabeth explained tersely. "Why am I here if you want to ask the Stars for a favor? I'm not even a Star anymore."
"You're not?" Natasha asked, clearly surprised.
"You drag us here without even telling us why we're here and you don't even do any damn research, how is America not in ruins?" Tori muttered, shaking her head, then spoke up. "The only base that can hold Loki is on the West Coast."
"That's fine, I have an office in Malibu where I can visit every so often," Tony said. Liz shook her head.
"Not that simple. Not all of us are there all the time. You wanna know why everyone else turned down your invite? They have things to do. The only person who's there 24/7 isn't experienced enough to guard someone like Loki. Don't you even start the 'There's no one like me' spiel, because there is." Loki shut his mouth.
"What do you propose then?" Hill questioned.
"The Avengers live at the base." Tori reacted first.
"Are you insane? Astrid would never let us have them at base!" Tori protested.
"You have enough room, you'll be fine," Liz scoffed.
"Are you going to be staying at this base Lady Elizabeth?" Thor questioned. Liz sighed-it was clear that he was not going to stop calling her by her title.
"Yes, my landlady was probably going to kick me out anyway," Liz shrugged.
"Oooh, what'd you do to get on Mrs. Hudson's bad side?" Tori had a huge smirk on her face.
"Tell Astrid the Avengers will be at the base sometime later today." With that, Liz vanished on the spot, disappearing in a flash of light. Tori didn't even seem phased.
"Well, looks like you've only got a few hours to pack, see ya then Avengers." She winked and jumped off the roof. When they looked over the edge, she was gone.
Reminder-Tori had a Vortex Manipulator, so she just jumped off the roof and teleported somewhere.
So, anyone wanna guess who J.J. is? This was one of the plot bunnies bouncing around in my head. Review!
