AN: I'm back with the next chapter. I'm kinda sorry that i mixed up Athena here when she's actually from the Greek god's side but i thought a more hardy woman like her would be nice, besides i like her name and the title "GODDESS OF WAR" its just so...#likeaboss haha :) alright anyway, this chapter is sort of cut into many parts i do hope you enjoy reading it and review at the end please! :)
Chapter Ten
"Alright, so let me get this straight. You, a god from this Asgard place, came down here to Earth to practice your magic because you felt like it and you accidentally killed people because you couldn't control your magic. Did I get that right?" the one eyed man, Nick Fury asked.
Loki nodded, "It was an accident really and I'm sorry…I really am," he said this was the truth now because he did feel bad for having taken away people from the ones they loved. He understood what pain was and how it felt and he just wished that Tony might have come and caught him sooner so that lesser people would have died.
"This cannot go unpunished you know," Fury said.
"You could let him join us. I'm sure his powers when used in the right manner will do us some good and the plus factor is he's a god and close to indestructible," Tony said pitching in to make sure Loki got out of this.
"He's unstable, you understand that. He'll need lots of training and it's going to take time."
Tony nodded as though it were no big deal, "We have all the time in the world," he said when in fact he knew that Loki would need to go back to Asgard before the end of the week for Thor's wedding.
"I don't mind," Loki said as he stood, he was ready to start things over again. After all his life back on Asgard was no more and it would be better to stay here with Tony.
"You better take this seriously, here you're another agent, you protect the lives of the people against threats from everywhere. If you mess up…" Fury paused on a menacing tone.
"If I mess up you can send me back to Asgard," Loki said.
In the recesses of the throne room on Asgard, two people stood, voices in the shadows, hidden by the pillars as the pale moonbeam shone down on the castle, it was a secret meeting, one that no one would ever know of.
Athena knows the plan, what is going to happen, she knows exactly what the all-father wants and why she is here. This is because she is part of the plan, the plan to get rid of Loki. She had never thought that another man would be her competitor, let alone a frost giant at that.
"If you want it to work, the only way it can happen will be for you to bring the trickster back here. After which I will deal with him and when I am done, you will be free to live your life with Thor."
"How do I find him? He can cloak himself can't he?" Athena asks keeping to the shadows her voice a whisper.
"It's easy, find the one called Tony Stark and then you'll find Loki with him. Do whatever it takes to get him here. I want that one to be gotten rid of, I should have done it myself back then when I killed Laufey and the rest. He was such a reject and outcast even then, it won't be for long."
"Are you going to kill him?" she asks, even if she wants Loki gotten rid off, she doesn't want to see him dead.
"Not dead, no. His powers are too great to be lost in death. I will wipe his memories clean of Thor. He will remember nothing at all. From the moment of his birth, till whence I wiped his memory, there will remain in his mind, nothing about Thor. Not an inkling. I will spread his memories across the nine realms and he will never find them, ever. So fear not Athena. You shall be queen and he shall not intervene."
The next day, from a training room somewhere in the HQ of the government sector, training for the new recruit was going on.
"Focus Loki! Again!" Natasha barked at him over the sound system as he panted, resting against the wall of the training room. This was the eighth time that he was going through the test, without powers. 'It will be best if you learn to fight with and without your powers,' Fury had told him and that's when he'd been taken into training with Natasha Romanoff, the Black Widow.
"One more time and I swear!" Loki growled, going back to the start-line.
"Nat, we've got a situation on our hands," signaled the entrance of Clint Barton, Hawkeye as he began to talk in hushed tones with Natasha in the control room.
"That's enough for today. You can go and rest now, take a shower," Natasha said going off with Barton.
"He'll have to know sooner or later, he might have something to do with this."
It's Natasha's voice. Something is wrong. But what? Loki cannot put his finger on it.
"You know Stark can take care of himself. Besides it was just a woman."
Fury's voice. Stark? They've got Tony! The woman…who is she?
"Excuse me?" Natasha intervenes.
"Alright counting that out, it could be that she's a god. Like Loki or something," Barton offers.
"She did damage the outskirts of the city when she arrived and those star gazers saw a shooting star headed in this direction. The report's out on their website," Banner said.
"How did she look like? The woman?"
They all turn, looking to Loki who is still dressed in the grey training uniform. Fury sighs then motions for him to sit.
"We don't have a clue as to what they want from us. But we know for sure they have taken Stark. Do you have any idea who it might be Loki?" Fury asks.
The trickster has an inkling, just a little thought. It could be her, then again…maybe not. "You know of Athena? The goddess of war?" Loki asks.
Captain and Banner nod while Natasha seems to be trying to recall, Barton and Fury don't even have a clue.
"Well…Athena is to be married to my brother Thor in about a week's time from when I left. Considering the difference in time here and there, it would be that she would marry him in one and a half days Earth time," Loki said, knowing that that was also the amount of time that he had left till when he returned to Asgard again to witness their wedding.
"We don't even know where she took him. How are we going to find him before then?" Captain raised a question.
"There was no tracking device?" Loki asked having just been taught about it this morning.
"They took him without the suit. He's vulnerable and there is no tracking device." Fury said.
'I could try to find him. ' he thought but feared that he might be found out by Athena. Yet he knew he had to try. Tony was in danger because of him and he had to do something about this. "I can track him. It might take awhile but I should have his location by tonight," Loki said.
"Alright. Do it. Track Tony down then we'll get rid of that woman," Fury said.
Loki nodded, headed back to his new room. He would track Tony and find him but once he had the location he would go on his own. He didn't want to endanger his new friends.
AN: So Tony is caught by Athena without his suit and it's Loki to the rescue! Stay tuned for the next chapter! :)
