Loki's words hit Luciana hard, and she looked at him in disbelief, mouth slightly ajar.

"What?"

"I," He began proudly, pulling her closer to him. "Want you to join me in conquering and ruling Midgard. Once it is ours we will rule the mortals, mercilessly. I King, and you my beloved Queen. Imagine it, dear, our daughter will grow without want, and she will continue our glorious work when you and I are too weary to rule. We could have everything."

Luciana blinked, her brain frantically trying to process her husband's offer. She had never imagined herself as a Queen. Even when Loki took the throne in place of Odin she felt uncomfortable being waited on like Frigga. She couldn't imagine that sort of power in her hands, but she could imagine it in Loki's, and the picture wasn't pretty. She knew, though she had never told him, that he was not suited to be a King.

Loki seemed to sense his wife's uncertainty for he placed his scepter on the floor and cupped her face with his now free hands. "Darling, imagine how the world will be, ruled by our hands. The mortals treating you like the Queen you are, rather than just a sorcerer's daughter. Imagine you, as the unquestioned Queen." He purred. Then, without warning, he abruptly crashed his lips onto hers and passionately kissed her, his cold lips startling her.

Luciana slowly calmed herself and closed her eyes as Loki deepened the kiss, wrapping her arms his neck while his snaked themselves around her waist.

This reminded her how much she missed Loki. How much she missed his embrace, how much she missed him sleeping soundly beside her, how much she missed his loving words that he always whispered ever so softly in her ear. She missed having Loki's love and now he had returned, prepared to love her for the rest of their lives. But as much as she missed Loki, she was also very angry at his actions. He had attacked the people of Germany and he had already broken his promise never to hurt her, she couldn't imagine the other horrible things he had done.

Her mind and heart declared war on each other, her head frantically telling her that the lives of the mortals were worth more than her happiness, and the Loki had been driven mad. But her heart screamed at her, reminding her that she had spent a year mourning over the loss of her husband, and telling her that he was hers once more. Forever.

She felt Loki push her up against a wall, his lips never leaving hers. It was then she realized she needed to breath and she pulled away from her husband, panting heavily, only to have him again crash his lips on to hers, refusing to break their embrace.

Loki then moved his lips to her jaw, then to her cheek, then finally to her ear, each passionate kiss making her heart pound harder and harder in her chest. "I love you," He whispered, and then he moved his mouth to her neck and granted it loving kisses. She nuzzled her head into his neck as he kissed her, trying to hide the war that took place inside of her.

It was now or never. She had to choose. Help Loki with his world domination plan and be loved for the rest of her days, or save the mortal's lives and live with a broken heart. She had to choose, but she knew either way Loki would cause destruction, with or without her.

She took a deep breath and as she failed to fight back tears she removed her head from Loki's neck. "Take me home," She whispered so softly she was unsure he had heard her.

But he had, for a look of confusion placed itself onto Loki's face and he looked into Luciana's tearful grey eyes. "Darling heart," He started softly, putting a hand on her cheek, wiping away the tears that flowed slowly down her cheek. "I don't understand. Do you not realize what we could have?"

"I understand perfectly well what we could have," She replied taking his hand off her cheek and wiping her tears away herself, trying to keep from screaming her heartbreak. "But I can't love a man who only wishes to bring pain to the innocent! And I certainly can't love a man who's turned into a monster!" Her voice betrayed her, and she yelled the statement. She pushed him away from her and stepped away from the wall, her vision blurred by her tears

Loki looked at her in shock for a moment, hurt and heartbreak evident in his eyes. But soon his bewildered look transformed into one of anger, betrayal, and possessiveness. He grabbed her shoulders and pushed her up against the wall roughly, pinning her arms to her sides. She had crossed the line.

"A monster?" He screamed at her, seething with rage. "You think of me as a monster? I, who loved you faithfully? I, who is the father of your child? I have only ever broken one promise to you, and I will regret it for the rest of my days! You are well aware of that!" She winced as he screamed at her, not used to his loud, violent tone. "Yet you second place me to mortals? Worthless mortals who can offer you nothing, whereas I can offer you the world!" He was now shaking her violently.

"Why are you behaving this way?" Luciana screamed, her body wracked with sobs.

"I'm trying to put some sense into you! You have no idea what is good for you and what is not! You seem to have forgotten one very important detail about yourself!"

"Which is?"

Loki moved closer to her, their faces mere centimeters apart. "You belong to me." He growled through clenched teeth, staring threateningly into her eyes.

"You bound yourself to me eternally when we wed, as I did to you! And nothing but death can break our union! By the laws of Asgard, you are to obey me, you are not to question me, and you are not to oppose me." He reminded her menacingly of the laws of their marriage that she willingly agreed to.

He then removed his hands from her arms and wrapped them around her waist, his teeth still clenched. "You are mine," He sneered.

He then roughly placed his mouth on hers, causing her cry of surprise to be muffled. His kiss wasn't passionate or loving this time, instead it was possessive and controlling, as if he was reminding her that she was his, which she was certain he was. She began clawing at his armour, trying desperately to push him away, but he only tightened his grip on her, trapping her tightly between the wall and him.

She screamed and clawed throughout the kiss, but her attempts were in vain as her cries were muffled by his mouth and her waist in Loki's tight grasp. She moved her hand towards her waist and placed her hand on his, digging her nails into his flesh. Loki moaned in pain but didn't release his hold on his frantic wife. Desperate to escape she stomped her heeled boot onto Loki's foot, causing another cry of pain, but his grip on her only tightened in anger.

She longed for the air Loki so hungrily devoured as he kissed her, and she continued to let out her muffled screams, praying he would remove his mouth from hers. Abruptly, he pulled back and she gasped, breathing in as much air as she could. He chuckled darkly at her panting and brought his lips to her ear.

"Mine." He whispered seductively, before nipping at her ear and moving his lips to her neck, chuckling as she used various curse words towards him. He moved his lips to her cheek before slamming them back onto her mouth, continuing the heated frenzy of possessive kisses.

She started to scream once more before a plan hatched in her mind. She screamed more before finally letting them fade away into a soft moan, and she began to return his kisses. He loosened his grip on her and he smiled under the kiss, believing she had finally seen things his way. She wrapped her arms around his neck and laced her fingers together. He pulled away from the kiss and moved once more to her neck, and she took her opportunity to swiftly move her elbow to the side of his head and roughly jab it into his skull, causing him to crash to the floor and his helmet to fall off his head.

He groaned in pain and pushed himself off the floor, turning himself over to look at her. She stood tall and furiously wiped at her tear stained face, glaring at him.

"I don't give a damn what the laws of Asgard say! We aren't even there anymore! And I don't care that I'm bound to you for the rest of my life, I will not join you in your sadistic plan for world domination!" She screamed at him, her body shaking with anger. "And I stand by what I said about you! You are a monster! You are not Loki! You are not the man I love!"

"Is that so? Last I remember you loved me!" He sneered at her, placing his horned helmet back on his head and sitting up, only to be forced down by his wife's foot, but that didn't stop him from arguing with the woman.

"In Asgard you always enjoyed my company! When you cried you always wanted my comfort! Even before we we're married you always came to me for my advice!" He yelled at her before grunting in pain as she dug her heel into his chest.

She scowled at him before removing her foot from his chest and walking away. There was no use fighting with him, they could both literally go on for eternity. She walked towards a doorway but was stopped short when a hologram of Loki appeared in front of her.

"Oh no, we are not done yet. I've always had a place in your heart, and I still do." The hologram said, and she responded with a glare. "Oh come now, darling heart, don't deny it. You can't deny it, we promised that tonight only the truth would be told. Now, do you love me?" He asked her, smiling wickedly in full confidence he knew the answer.

She looked at the hologram of Loki dead in the eye before uttering one single word:

"No."

Yay! Another cliffhanger, one I'm quite fond of, if I might add. Please review, cause if you don't then I don't know if I'm doing a good job or not or if I should even continue this. Sorry to sound desperate but, reviews are nice! :)

PS, before I forget.

If any of you are wondering why Loki is being cruel to Luciana, despite his claims that he loves her and that she belongs to him, he does love her, more than anything. But since Loki seemed insane during the Avengers because he's angry he was second placed to Thor by his parents, people who claimed to love him, that's how I wrote him, insane and easily set off.

So since he is sure that Luciana always will love him and will be the only person not to second place him, he's hurt when she refuses to help him, and what's left of his heart gets broken because he feels she's second placing him to the mortals. (Which she is, but for a better reason than Odin)

And that's why he's so angry and cruel to her, because he's been driven mad by power and heartbreak and he feels betrayed by her. And her "betrayal" drives even madder and he is forcing her to love him because he's afraid that if she stops loving him, he will be forever unloved and he will lose her. And his heartbreak and anger is fueled by the specter like it was in the movie, making him unable to see reason and her heartbreak.

So I wrote him based off more what I can imagine his inner feelings being, and how his emotions were so easily increased by the specter. And I'm hoping he's not too OOC, I think it's pretty accurate overall.

Sorry about the ramble, just wanted to clear that up.
