So it's been forever and I'm so very sorry for that! Please don't hurt me, but I got so stuck with this chapter! It was so hard to write and I'm still not happy with it. But I'm pretty sure my beta and bestfriend, Chey Lee, was going to kill me if I didn't post this! But if you hate it I'll always take it down and try to rewrite it! Please just let me know what you think about all this!
Love Nicki Riggs!
Ginny stared in shock at the man that blocked the sorcerer's spell and her's as well. She had reacted as soon as she saw the sorcerer take aim for the older man and raised her wand as well. She stood and shot the first shilling charm she could think of. Her spell was just seconds behind the sorcerer's spell and had blasted into the shield colored like the American flag. It rebounded toward the sorcerer and she knew that if she hadn't had thrown her spell in there as well he wouldn't have flown back at all from his own. She watched as the man behind the shield stood relieving a man in a star spangled suit with a mask covering his face, he started walking toward the sorcerer. He looked toward her and she saw his eyes grow wide, before he turned and started speaking toward the man on the crowd distracting him from her. It worked as he didn't even look toward her.
"You know the last time I was in Germany and saw a man standing up above everyone else, we ended up disagreeing." Ginny studied the man as he walked closer, his voice sounded so familiar. She watched as the other person rose up.
"The solider." He gave an evil chuckle. "The man out of time."
"Not the one that's out of time." Hearing an engine the crowd looked up as a black jet hovered over them a woman's voice came out over the speakers.
"Loki drop your weapon." So the sorcerer now had a name. Ginny wracked her brain for anyone in the wizarding world with a name as unique as Loki, but nothing came to mind. Thinking back to the few letters she got from Neville she couldn't think of him mentioning someone trying to take Voldemort's place. And she, along with Luna and Hermione, would have heard about someone trying to take his place. And no one from the magical community would dare attack Muggles so straight forward. Voldemort himself didn't even do it when he came to power the first time and only did it once during his second time in power. He attacked Muggle's discretely and in small attacks, never anything as large as this Loki was doing. Gripping her wand tighter she felt her body tense as the crowd around her starting standing up getting courage from the people who had shown up.
As soon as the the woman spoke the words Loki was shooting a spell toward the jet and it rebounded off into the crowd which scattered for safety as the spangled man jumped at Loki. At the same time Ginny started running toward the two fighting men as well. She knew that she could get in a lot of trouble for exposing herself to the muggles, but she would gladly do time for saving the lives of these people. She stood toward the side as the watched the two men swing at each other. But after a few blows Loki sent the spangled man rolling and that's when she jumped in. Everything from the war was coming back to her.
"Diffindo!" She yelled wiping her wand around aiming at Loki who turned startled toward her, but was able to block last second. She didn't stop though and kept throwing one spell after another. "Bombarda Maxima! Confrigo! Diffindo! Diminuendo!" She yelled at she got closer and closer to Loki was backing away each time he blocked a spell aimed toward him. After a few more spells were thrown at him Ginny was panting slightly. Loki took the moment to speak.
"What do we have here a sorceress? Fighting for the good of mortals?" He questions stepping closer. Ginny straightened up.
"I'm a mortal, so why wouldn't I fight for the other mortals as well?" She questions with a raised eyebrow as she points her wand toward Loki who raised an eyebrow at her statement.
"A mortal sorceress? I've never heard of such a thing." He said.
"Well keep being surprised…Everte Statum!" She yelled out and Loki this time didn't have enough time to react as he was thrown across the courtyard landing hard. When he was thrown back she was approached by the spangled man.
"I ask that you step back now, ma'am." He said in a deep voice. Ginny just raised an eyebrow.
"And can I ask who the bloodily hell are you?" She swore his cheeks turned pink.
"I'm Captain America." Nothing else was said as Loki ran toward them swinging his staff. Ginny dove out of the way and fell her hair falling out of the pins she had it in, she knew that she looked positively feral. Catching herself she looked over her shoulder to see both men fighting. Loki swinging with his staff and Captain America throwing punches left and right. She watched as the Captain was thrown and started to rise to help as Loki had his staff at his head, but she realized she wasn't needed as the Captain continued fighting. She looked to see the jet hovering over them once again, but realized they weren't able to get a clear shoot with how much they were moving around.
"Immobulus!" She yelled out pointing her wand at Loki again, but she missed be a few inches as he ducked out of the way sending her a leer. She kept shooting the spell until she heard something else coming. Looking toward the sky she almost fell over when she saw her boss hovering over her. She watched as he shot a blast from his hand knocking Loki back before he straightened up and pulled out all the weapons on him aiming toward Loki.
"Game over, reindeer games." He said as Steve joined him with his shield back in his hands. She walked toward them as she watched Loki raise his hands and he battle outfit disappeared. Tony returned all the weapons to the inside on his Iron Man suit again. "Good move." He looked toward Captain American. "Captain." He said with a nod.
"Tony." Then Tony looked toward Ginny who had come to stand next to him during his little exchange.
"Mr. Stark, I believe you have some explaining to do as to what's going on." She said as the jet landed and a redhead woman made her way off with cuffs in her hands ready.
"Ginny, I believe you have some explaining to do as well." He said as he face mask slide up to reveal his face. Captain America looked between the two.
"You know each other?" Natasha said as she cuffed Loki.
"This is my assistant Ginny Weasley." He answered. "And hello to you too, Natalie or is it Natasha now?" He questions. The redhead showed no reaction.
"You'll have to bring her along. Fury is going to want to talk to her." She said as she started leading Loki toward the jet Tony and Captain America following closely behind. Ginny looked around her and then at her boss, knowing that if he trusted the woman then she could as well. Picking up the skirt of her dress she hurried after her boss quickly.
They were in the air for only five minutes with Tony rambling in Ginny's ear as she look at Captain America across from her. Ignoring her boss she spoke for the first time on the jet.
"Why do you wear that mask?" She questions. She had never seen a hero wear a mask and she had known many in her younger years. Harry for example, didn't like the fame that came with his destiny, but never did he try to hide who he was. She most have startled the man, because he jumped.
"It's to protect me and people around me from my enemies." He answered quietly. His deep voice ran through Ginny, it was like a voice she heard every day. It seemed so familiar. She leaned across toward him, studying his features closely.
"Who are you?" She questions quietly. Tony not use to being ignored decided to join the conversation again.
"Yes, Captain why don't you show you her what's behind that mask?" He said with a smirk. The Captain turned to shot a look at Tony.
"Not all of us want our face to be known." He said. Ginny could feel tension between the two.
"You sound familiar. Do I know you?" She questions suddenly after a few minutes of the two going back and forth. They stopped talking to turn and look toward her. Ginny stood and crossed they few steps between her and the masked man. Something was just so familiar about him, his voice, the way he spoke, everything. Placing her hands on either side of his face she forced him to look up at her. His eyes. They were that stunning baby blue that she saw everyday. It was like everything disappeared around them no more Tony, no more Loki, no more anything. Gripping the mask firmly she pulled it from his head an her breathe cut seeming the perfectly parted blonde hair and chiseled features.
"Steve." She whispered. He just ducked his head in return looking nervous. It was at that time that Tony decided to speak up again.
"What the hell? Do you know him Ginny?" He questions staring between the two. It took Ginny a lot of effort to pull her eyes away from Steve.
"This is the man that had me so messed up for that month." She explained. "This is my boyfriend." She forced him to look at her again hearing Tony in the background sputtering. "Why didn't you tell me?" She questions. He sent her a sad smile.
"Why didn't you tell me about you?" He questions causing Ginny to send him a sheepish smile understanding. They were pulled apart by Tony.
"So let me get this straight…you." He said pointing toward Ginny. "Are dating him." He said pointing toward Steve. "Who is a enhanced human being." He paused for a second. "And you who are some kind of sorceress." Tony finished with a look of disbelief passed over his face. Ginny grinned at her boss, but paused on his wording.
"I'm not a sorceress. I'm a witch." She said.
"Is there a difference?" Tony questions, but Ginny didn't answer instead Loki snorted.
"A huge difference." He said. but before anything else could be said as lightning started thundering around them. Natasha spoke for the first time.
"Where is this coming from?" She questions. Everyone started looking around and Steve caught sight of Loki who now sat up straight and looked around worried.
"What's the matter? Scared of a little lightning?" He questions.
"I'm not overly fond of what follows." He said looking out the window. Ginny raised an eyebrow at his wording. It seemed just a few seconds later something landed on the plane heavy shaking it. Steve and Tony now stood toward the front will Ginny was standing closer to Loki her wand clutched tightly in her hand getting ready for what ever was coming. She watched as Tony grabbed his mask putting it back on and Steve grabbed his shield. Tony walked past her and opened the latch. Steve after pulling his mask on looked at Tony is worry.
"What are you doing?" He questions looking toward Ginny in worry. He couldn't answer, because just then a man walked onto the plane and the only way she could describe him huge. She was as he raised a hammering hitting Tony who was ready and sending him flying toward the other end of the jet. Ginny had to dive out of the way sending her closer to the open end of the jet. She tried to scramble quickly to her feet, but she knew what was going to happen before it did. The blonde grabbed Loki and was diving off the jet, but on the way back toward the end he knocked into Ginny sending her off the end of the jet and free falling.
