CHAPTER 10 – AN UN-INVITED GOD
A week after the battle Helena and I are out for a walk to a nearby shop to pick up some orange juice. Then my phone rings.
"Hello?" I say as I answer the phone that Tony got me.
"Varya, its Hill. Director Fury wishes me to inform you that tomorrow you will be getting a handler and a mission. So will Agent Wells. Will you to please report to the Hub tomorrow at 8:00am." Hill says.
"Yes ma'am." I respond. She hangs up. "We get our handlers and our new missions tomorrow." I tell Helena once I'm off the phone.
"Coolies. What's up?" she asks me when she sees me suddenly turn around.
"Someone's watching us." I respond. I can feel their eyes on me.
"Where?" she asks. I look around and see who it is. I continue walking as though nothing was happening.
"Have you seen pictures of Loki?" I ask Hel completely ignoring her question.
"Yes why?" she asks me.
"Because he just disappeared into thin air from right in front of that sign there." I say gesturing to the sign he was in front of.
"Oh my god, what do we do?" she asks suddenly very serious.
"Call Hill." I say. Helena does.
"Agent Hill, um V and I have a slight problem here. Varya noticed someone watching us and when she got a good look it was, well ma'am it was Loki." Hel explains.
"Are you sure?" Hill asks after about a minute of silence.
"Well its V so yes." Helena confirms.
"Get back to the tower as quickly as possible. We'll have a team waiting there." Hill said before hanging up.
"She said to get back to the tower as quickly as possible." Helena said turning to me as she spoke.
"Ok, we need to work out his play. He's after you so how would he do it?" I say thinking out loud as we turned and began heading back to the tower.
"Why is he after me? How do you figure that?" Helena asks me.
"He has no reason to come after me where as everyone knows you are associated with Tony Stark." I explain.
"So are a lot of people. To the public Pepper would be a better target, the target wouldn't be me." Helena says.
I know she is right about Pepper being the better target but it doesn't make sense him coming after me. He would have come after Helena but he should have attacked by now. Unless something in his plan changed. Maybe he thought she would be alone. But she is never alone, all the public pictures show that she always has someone protecting her. So maybe he came to find out why she is so important that one of the avengers or me is with her. No one has gotten a picture of my face. I know how to avoid it. And I look like Natasha!
"Ok so here it is. He came to find out why you were so special because you always have either an avenger or me with you. He saw me and didn't attack right away because he thought I was my mother so he needed a different plan. He now knows we are heading back to the tower so if he still thinks I am Nat he will attack when we are further away from the tower because then she can't get immediate help. If he thinks I'm not and just someone important he will attack when we are closer to the tower because he wants to show up the team." I explain what my theory is.
"Ok well we are nearly there so obviously he knows you aren't your mother, but is he still after me or you now?" Hel asks me trying to remain calm.
"I don't know!" I say looking at her.
When I turn back to look straight ahead Loki appears in front of us and Helena walks into him.
"Hello ladies. You know you remind me of someone I hate, that doesn't bode well for you." Loki begins. I kick him backwards and because of the serum it actually hurts him.
"Helena run!" I say to Hel.
"I'm not leaving you." Helena says.
"Look I promised your father that I would keep you safe and more importantly than that I need help. Go and get the team Maria sent." I tell her.
"Okay, I will be back. No dying until I'm back!" Helena jokes.
Just then Loki appears in front of me and put his Sceptre to my chest. I suddenly felt a tingling sensation and it was like someone took over, I was in my body as usual but had no control. Like I was just a visitor!
"V? NOO!" Helena yells before she gets kicked to the ground. Wait I'm the one who kicked her. But it wasn't me.
"Goodbye mortal." Loki says to Helena before disappearing and taking me with him.
Short chapter I know. I'm really sorry! I wasn't planning to finish this chapter here but then I just had to stop it here so enjoy! Oh and my new story 'when all secrets are revealed' is up but I will still be trying to update this story as regularly as possible! Also Chapter 5 has been changed, when writing i missed a part of an interaction between Varya, Helena and Nat!
