The chapters will probably be kinda short for a while unless something great comes to mind, but its also to extend it because like always this story is halfway over. I know how it will end but just need to fill in until I get there. Happy ending not guaranteed.

Darkness. That's really all Bella could see was darkness. When she awoke nearly 2 days ago she thought she had been dreaming, being kidnapped by a cable man, drag to who-knows-where. Bella could tell she was in a room of sorts, that was cold and hard. Not quite what she would describe as cement surrounded her. Its was lumpy and rough, and somewhat wet. When the door finally opened to reveal her captor, Bella was blinded by light. She was violently grabbed and pulled down what she assumed was a narrow hallway. Her eyes did not fully adjust until she found herself siting in a chair that was made of a design she was not familiar with. The room she found herself in now was equally dark, but she found herself to be under the strong glow of a single light above her, one you would assume would be used in an interrogation.
"Earthling." A voice announced making Bella jump slightly.
"Do you know why you are here?"
Bella tried to think of an answer but couldn't, then again she didn't know who had kidnapped her in the first place, so how could she even come close to knowing why? Wait, did he call her earthling? Bella shook her head no.
"You are here as leverage." Bella's eyebrows knitted together.
"Leverage for what exactly?"
"Loki of course." Bella's eyes widened.
"Thanos."
"Ah, I see you've heard of me." Though Bella could not see him, she could tell he was smirking.
"Good, that will make this easier for both of us. I want Loki, Loki wants you. Therefor to get Loki I got you, do you understand?"
Bella shook her head.
"I broke up with him, it wont work. He wont come."
"You really are a foolish woman."
It was then Bella saw a figure come into the light. He was tall and seemed to be muscular, his skin looked almost grayish purple and his eyes glowed blue. He leaned down to her level in the chair.
"Loki loves you, you foolish human. With all of his pathetic little heart. So I do indeed know he will come, because his love for you will not allow him to stay way. I have to say, you played your part quite well."
Bella glared at him with angry tears in her eyes.
"I had no part in this!" Thanos simply laughed.
"On the contrary you did. You simply didn't know it. You made him fall in love, you made him weak, and now my dear," Thanos said caressing Bella's cheek and bringing his lips to her ear.
"He will die for it. Die for you, because of you. So I do say, you played your part very well, even if you didn't know it."
Bella cried and hung her head down, guilt falling over her.
"Aw, don't cry, its a beautiful tragedy. Its of the greatest of deaths to die for those we care about."
Bella kept her head down as she spoke.
"And what about you? What do you care about?" Thanos laughed once more and grabbed Bella's face to face him.
"Winning." Thanos then pushed her face away and turned.
"Your going to lose." Bella said quietly. Thanos stopped in his tracks.
"Oh really? And what makes you think so?"
"Love...you say it made him weak, but love makes us stronger, love is the voice under all silences, the hope which has no opposite in fear; the strength so strong mere force is feebleness."
Thanos turned his head over his shoulder to look back at Bella.
"We'll see if you still feel that way when you watch each other die."
"She is going to be okay brother." Thor said, sitting next to Loki.
"You don't know that." Loki said in response.
"Loki-"
"No Thor." Loki said getting up.
"This is all my fault, I should have never come back here. She would be safe if I never came back."
"You don't know that." Thor responded, using Loki's words against him.
"We don't know how long Thanos has been watching you, she could have still been taken had we not come back."
Loki sighed and ran his hands through his hair.
"So are you going to help or not?" Tony asked Nick Furry. Furry sighed.
"Stark, we cant send a bunch of men to war with another alien species right now, especially one that isn't even trying to harm us."
"But they have Isabella! They are using her to get to Loki!" Furry glared at Tony.
"That isn't our problem Stark, in case you don't remember Loki isn't even allowed on this planet, which is why he is NOT on this planet, because if he was, anyone who had come in contact with him and not report it would be committing an act of treason to earth. Let me try and get this through your head. We are not going to risk hundreds of lives for ONE civilian. We are especially not going to risk hundreds of lives on one civilian because Loki is in love with her. I am sorry that this girl is your friend, but . . Your on your own stark."
Tony slammed his fists on Fury's metal desk. Once again, Tony understood Fury's point, but that didn't mean he had to like it.
