Chapter 7
A Stranger
Aurora's POV
When I woke the next morning I smiled. I stretched and sat up, but that was when my good morning turned bad. Loki was gone and in his place was a letter. With shaking hands I picked it up and read. When I finished I threw on my cloths and boots and ran outside.
"LOKI! LOKI COME BACK!"
I was screaming at the top of my lungs but no one was there to hear. Loki was gone and I knew I wouldn't see him again for a long time. Tears streamed down my face and I fell to my knees. I banged my fists on the ground and then looked up.
"I love you Loki of Asgard! I will be here waiting for you!"
And I would wait, for nearly two years I would wait. On a rainy day in April, a very loud knock came at my door. I took my sword and opened the door. A black man with an eye patch stood there.
"Who are you and what do you want?"
"My name is Director Fury. I'm with S.H.I.E.L.D. This is about someone you know well…."
"I'm not in the mood to play games with you!"
He sighed and held up a file. Loki's name was on that file. My eyes widened and I pulled him inside and held a knife to his throat.
"What have you done to him?!" I snarled.
"No one has done anything. It's what he did!"
I narrowed my eyes.
"What are you trying to pin on him?!"
"He came and turned two of the smartest and strongest men I know into his own personal flying monkeys."
I pressed the blade harder against his throat.
"Don't you dare make up lies about him! He's a good man with a kind and gentle heart!"
"Just let me explain!" He said.
I was uncertain, but my gut told me to listen. I let him go and he set the file down on the table.
"I don't know if you're aware of people like Captain America, Iron Man and people like that, but they exist….."
"I know bloody well who Iron Man is. If you ask me Tony Stark is a complete arse!"
He smirked.
"I can't say I disagree. When we found the captain, we found something else with him. I know you won't trust me unless I tell you everything. With him was a cube called the Tesseract. Now about 5 days ago Loki appeared in one of our labs. He killed at least 20 people and turned two of the smartest men I know into his own little henchmen. He stole the Tesseract."
I was beyond angry! Which meant my eyes were probably that grey color.
"How dare you! Loki is not a killer! He is loving and gentle!"
"Only with you Miss Porter. Which is why we need your help."
I snorted.
"Do you honestly think I would help you find him? I know what you'll do to him! You don't even know where he is."
"Yes we do. We want you to talk sense into him so we don't have to kill him or imprison him. He's in Germany, and I can get you there."
I looked at him and held up the knife.
"Do I have your word he will not be harmed?"
"You have my word."
"I hope you know that if you go back on that I will kill you without a second thought."
"I figured as much."
I smirked.
"I hope you have a fancy dress."
I looked at me him confused.
"Why?"
"Because you're going to a party."
I groaned.
