Fragments: Chapter 9

I'm BACK! I had a blast while I was away, but not being able to write or anything sucked! I loved catching up on all of your comments! They were great:)

Now what you've all been waiting for... a new CHAPTER!:) Here you go!

P.S. I like happy, notevil Loki too;)

Also, I am sorry but this story is Loki/OC. Loki and Allison dig each other and 'fall in love', but nothing more than that. (Probs a kiss, but... nothing more) That's the way I had this story originally laid out. Personally, I'm not a fan of 'fav character/OC', but that's how this goes.:( Sorry to anyone who was not expecting or wanting that. But please don't let it stop you from reading and reviewing!

Warnings: Forgot to state at beginning of the story, there is some mostly non-graphic/off screen Loki whumpage. Never fear, there is a reason the rating is only T and not M. Hope this doesn't scare you away.

Enjoy.

Disclaimer: I don't own the Avengers or Thor. (or Loki *tears shed*)

Remember Me?

Thor went to the infirmary to retrieve his brother. He was a lot better from three weeks ago, but he still needed to heal. Without his magic, he could only heal as fast as the Midgardians. Thor paused at the door and at the sound of voices, he peeked through the window. Loki and Allison, as everyone called her now, were talking. Well Loki was talking, Allison was giggling. Loki held her hand, and they just talked. It had been a long time since Thor had seen his brother like this. Completely content, and if the Thunderer wasn't mistaken, completely smitten.

Thor knocked, and the two simply looked at him. Their relationship was well known by now, so they didn't bother trying to hide it. The last time someone saw them and made a comment, well it didn't end well. The two became completely embarrassed and hid for the rest of the day. Stark was still getting glares if he made a comment around those two.

"I am in need of assistance, Loki. We have to move one of Stark's new inventions into the training room. Could you lend a hand?" The raven haired man nodded, and gave Allison a light kiss on the cheek before leaving. Thor's chest was warmed at such a sight, but a chill swept through him, as before a coming storm.


"Stark, did you have to make it so big? I don't think it'll fit through the doors!" It took all of them to get the... whatever it is, into the training room.

"What's the matter, Legolas? You tired?" All Clint could do was grunt. The exertion drained Loki, but being able to work his muscles felt good. Finally the, Stark thing, was in and with a collective sigh of relief they all gracelessly dropped it on the floor.

"Hey! Be careful! She's sensitive." Tony affectionately rubbed his invention.

"Remind me to run away the next time Stark says he needs help moving something." They all agreed. Thor was gladdened to see how relaxed his brother was around his new friends. Loki looked towards the contraption.

"So what is it?" Tony smiled.

"Glad you asked, Reindeer Games! It is a-" Steve groaned.

"Can you not speak gibber jabber, for once? Let's just go get breakfast." Stark seemed disappointed to have been cut off, but he ambled over to Bruce and the trickster and started talking their ears off. Loki felt at home. Odd around such an interesting bunch, but comforting none the less. He felt a little cautious around the big blond guy though. He often caught him staring at him with a lost look in his eyes. It was rather unsettling. Just then a horrendous explosion rocked the ship.

Thor caught his brother before he hit the ground. His green eyes widened in fear.

"What's happening?!" The others already knew and went to suit up.

"Someone is attacking the craft. Stay here." But Loki just ran after him.

"No! I can help you!" Thor was grateful for his brother's attempt.

"You are in no shape to fight. Go watch over Allison until I come for you." Loki wanted to help, and knew he wouldn't do much good, but at least he could do something. He turned and ran off in the other direction. Preparing for battle felt familiar, but he couldn't remember actually being in one. He growled in frustration. Now was not the time. He had to find Allison.


Thor was battling Chitauri, of all things. But how and why were they here? He had slain the final one in sight and turned to find Fury barreling towards him looking, well, furious.

"Where is he?!" Thor rocked backwards.

"Who?" Fury scowled.

"That brother of yours. We have to make sure he doesn't escape with the Chitauri!" That got Thor's full attention.

"What! Loki wouldn't-this is not his doing! How dare you-" Fury shot one of the rotting creatures that came by and interrupted.

"Ever since he showed up, our system has shown something coming. But then they would disappear. That sound familiar?" Thor's mind was blank. Loki couldn't have- could he? Despite everything- no.

"Loki has no magic; he couldn't have helped them." Thor was resolute in his speech, but doubt lingered in the corners of his mind. Fury was about to retort, when an even larger boom was heard. It rocked the ship and sent them both crashing to the ground. It wasn't like an explosion, more like something landed. The two men shared a look, then ran off in search of the others.


The green eyed man's heart dropped when he didn't find Allison in the infirmary. He hurried down multiple corridors. Finally, he found her; she was gathering things from her desk, and when their eyes met, Loki saw a barely contained fear in them. He ran up to her and held her close.

"Everything will be fine. I promise." She nodded against his chest. Then they ran off to find a place to be safe. As they passed an area that held a strange glass cell in the middle, Allison's hand was wrenched from Loki's. He turned to see rotting creatures dragging her away, with her screaming all the while. It all happened so fast and slow motion at the same time. Without warning, a huge hand encircled his throat, and he was brought up to meet a sickening smile.

"Greetings, Little Prince. Remember me?"


Fury and Thor found Rogers and Stark running down a hallway right towards them, rather convenient.

"How are you guys holding up? We just took out, like, thirty back there. Clint and Natasha are by the dining hall, and the Hulk is helping your buddies out with a leviathan." The two looked tired and worn, but they held a determination in their eyes.

"Have either of you seen Loki?" Thor was getting anxious. His brother didn't know of his power, so he couldn't defend himself. There was also the possibility that this was one of his schemes, but Thor refused to consider that. They looked at each other then ran off towards the medical bay. Where the doctor was they were sure they would find Loki.

The corridor leading to the infirmary passed by the Hulk cage. That was where the small group came face to face with the monster that had caused all of this. A huge, hulking, purple monster named Thanos, currently with his hands around Loki's throat. They had apparently come at the end of his tirade.


"...And just so you remember our little deal, I will be taking someone to keep me company." Loki's eyes widened and flickered to Allison, who was still struggling against the Chitauri.

"NO!" Loki wheezed. He futilely kicked his feet.

"HA! Still so weak. Oh, look your little friends have come to help." Loki couldn't turn his head so Thanos did it for him. It was a wonder his neck didn't snap under the force. Green eyes met blue and brown ones, and the others could see the barely contained fear in them. Then Thanos laughed, and with one hand swept the Avengers into the Hulk cage and threw Loki into the arms of a small group of Chitauri. As soon as his feet hit solid ground, he tried to lunge towards Allison, who had tears running down her flushed cheeks. He was quickly stopped with a punch to the gut that brought him to his knees. His heart lurched when he heard Allison scream.

"No! Stop! Don't hurt him! No-"SLAP If he could have, Loki would have ripped their throats out, but he could barely move with all of the hands holding him in place. His brother was pounding the glass with Mjolnir, but SHIELD had reinforced it since last time. The rest watched on as Thanos slithered over to kneel in front of Loki, who was currently burning a hole through his head. A slimey grin stretched purple skin and the previously used hand wrapped around Loki's skull. Loki felt hot breath burning his ear as the giant leaned close so only the Trickster could hear him.

"Here's a little something for you, so you can carry out your end of the deal." Sick laughter was all he heard as an icepick was driven through his brain, injecting memories. What felt like centuries was mere seconds, then Loki opened his eyes to find himself passed out on the ground with Thanos watching him from above. Once the giant was sure his 'Little Prince' was awake, he stepped back and took hold of Allison.

"Remember, Little Prince," He lifted an unconscious Allison like he was showing off a toy. "I am not patient, but this lovely guest here will keep me from getting bored too quickly." The Hulk's roar echoed throughout the carrier and grew louder as he ran towards the trapped heroes. Thanos just smirked. "That's my cue. Choose wisely, Little Prince." One of his Chitauri pulled out a device and with a flip of a switch, they were gone.
