"Now how are we getting there Loki." Tony asked looking around.
"Loki will it be a safe?" Peper asked concerned.
"Damn it Loki say something!" Clint shouted.
Loki growled and everyone hushed.
"Link your hands."
When no one moved he growled again and grabbed Thor's hand.
Everyone followed him.
He closed his eyes and relaxed. "Might be a slight pinch."
Clint glared at him.
"Why didnt you do this while you were having your little temper tantrum." Tony chuckled.
Loki groaned and shook his head.
Everything began to blur and with a whip like sound they were gone.
Ratri entered Nyoka's office. "Sir, When I got there they were already gone."
Nyoka hissed at him and Ratri took a step back.
"Do not lie to me Ratri." He said slowly.
Ratri shuddered. "I would never, Sir." He looked around the office for a bit.
"How is the girl?" He asked suddenly.
Nyoka stood and walked over to him. Summoning a dagger he held it up to Ratris's throat.
Nyoka smirked. " Why do you care Ratri?"
Ratri stuttered. "I-I w-was just wondering."
"You were just wondering what?" Nyoka growled.
Ratri cleared his throat. "I was just wondering Sir."
"Get out." Nyoka said dropping the dagger.
Ratri nodded, turned and walked out. He walked to where he last seen the girl.
"Keira…" No reply came so he walked in.
Keira sat in the same corner looking up.
He crouched down next to her and brushed a strand of hair out her face.
Her eyes locked on him. Her face emotionless.
"Stand up Princess." He ordered
He was surprised at how quickly she obeyed
"Are you well?"
She stared at him, her face blank
"Keira answer me." He was getting upset.
She looked down and he growled. He stood and left the room.
Storming down the hall he heard an explosion.
He ran into Nyoka's office. "I think we have company."
Nyoka grinned "Fun."
Nyoka with Ratri on his heels went thru the doors.
"Welcome. I could have done without the explosions though."
Natasha and Clint were hiding on a higher building, waiting for the right moment to go inside the palace.
Nyoka took a step up and smirked.
"Don't move pixie!" Tony shouted.
Loki walked up on him, stopping a few feet away. "Where is she?"
"Who?"
Ratri went beside Nyoka. " Be careful they are skilled Nyoka."
He growled, "Know your place Ratri."
"I am merely asking who he is looking for." He said in a softer tone.
"Don't play talk that bullshit!" Tony said. "I don't like when people take my stuff."
Nyoka grinned and bowed. "No need for secrets." He turned and pointed to where Clint and Natasha were hiding.
"You all can go and explore."
Ratri frowned. "What is he doing?"
They jumped off the building and looked at Loki.
"You trust him Loki?" Steve asked.
He began walking, so with a sigh they followed.
Nyoka look at Ratri and nodded.
Keira looked around and smiled. She walked out the room and strolled down the hall.
She looked at everything she passed the paintings, the carvings in the stone.
"Oh how I've missed it here." She thought. While staring at a carving she heard an explosion.
She began to walk towards it. "Princess!"
She turned and saw her servant.
"Please go up to your room princess it's not safe.
She walked up to her room. She could faintly hear her father's voice.
"You all can go and explore."
"You trust him Loki?"
"Loki… Where have I heard that name before?" she wondered.
She jumped when Nyoka appeared in her room, and then grinned.
She ran up and hugged him. "Father!" He placed a hand on her back.
She flinched ,hoping she would get hit for the outburst. Nyoka chuckled.
"There are people wandering around the palace. If you come in contact with them, do not speak."
She nodded. Nyoka left her room.
Keira looked up at her ceiling; a huge picture of her and her mother was there.
"I am princess Keira." She frowned "I love it here."
She flopped down on her bed and sighed. " But why does it feel like something is missing?"
She heard a bang and jumped. She turned towards the door.
"Should I call father..." She said to herself. "No." She shook her head.
"He won't be happy with my weakness if I do." She stood and walked out the door.
