Chapter 10:
Loki was the happiest he had ever been in his life. If Stark worked for him...he laughed at the thought. "Natasha...ready the jet...we are heading to New York."
"Yes sir."
He grinned and walked to the holding cell. Jane was on the floor wrestling with Pepper. It looked like they were fighting over something. Pepper looked up and saw Loki, which made him laugh. "Enough ladies. We must be going."
Pepper was getting ready to get up, but Jane dragged her down, reaching for what Loki realized was a shard of glass. He became annoyed. "Jane!" he shouted.
Jane stopped and Pepper grabbed her, throwing the glass down the hallway.
"Sir, perhaps you should use the scepter?"
Loki looked at her and smiled. "Yes of course. A little change in the plan." He pressed the scepter to her chest, and she immediately stopped fighting. She dropped to one knee in front of Loki. "My king."
Loki smiled, turning on his heel to walk to the jet.
They arrived in New York, Loki stepping off the jet, hearing Jarvis warn those precious Avengers. The girls got off the plane, surrounding him. They walked to the door and slid it open, stepping inside. Thor stood before them, waiting. Seeing Jane, his jaw dropped. "Jane!" the woman completely ignored him.
Thor glared at his brother. "What have you done?" He started to advance toward Loki, but Jane stepped in front of him. "Do not touch my king."
Loki chuckled as Thor stepped back. "You know what I have done, brother. I have expanded their minds."
"Loki! Free her!" Thor demanded.
"Only if you let me speak to Stark."
"He is busy." Thor snarled, adjusting his grip on Mjolnir. "Release Jane and I will take you to him."
Jane readied herself to defend Loki again. "Thor, do as he says."
Thor looked at Jane in disbelief. "Fine, I will...take you to him."
Stark was building another suit when Thor and his guests arrived. Tony looked up. "Thor leave us."
"But-
"Now please."
Thor huffed but left them. Loki watched, amused, as Stark tinkered with a repulsor before speaking.
"So you are here to take over?"
"Indeed, I am your king now Stark."
Stark chuckled. "About that..."He raised the glove, firing a beam at Loki. Pepper stepped in the way, the force making her fly backwards.
"Pepper!" Stark exclaimed, rushing to her side. Loki laughed, Stark had tears in his eyes. He looked at Loki, loathing him. "You worthless-
"I did nothing Stark. You were the one to shoot the beam, not I." he mused. Stark glared at him. "Give me one good reason not to kill you..."
"Ha! I am a god you puny mortal!" Loki bellowed. "Just for that..." Loki stood on the other side of Pepper and pointed the scepter at her.
"No Loki...don't. You will never-
A blue bolt shot from the scepter, vaporizing Ms. Potts, the soon to be Mrs. Stark. "PEPPER!"
"Now Stark..."
"You worthless, lying, no good-
"She may or may not be dead."
Stark looked at him. "What? Really?"
"The only way you will ever know is if you serve me., your king."
"Please Loki." Stark begged, the mystery was torture to him.
"Kneel before me."
Stark stood there, weeping.
"I said...kneel!" Loki demanded. To his delight, Stark got down on one knee. He smirked. "Rise mortal. Put on your armor and follow me."
Stark whimpered but he obeyed, walking behind Loki. The God of Mischief looked at 'Iron Man', and laughed as they entered the main room of the tower...
