Tony was taking his shift watching the prisoner when Candy entered, looking like a kicked puppy as she held the first-aid kit. Damn that look. Tony couldn't help it. He had to let her in to tend to Loki's wounds. Cap did go a bit overboard earlier and the new tech was keeping the Trickster from using his magic to heal himself.
Loki looked up from his seat, surprised to see the young lady. "You alright?" She asked timidly as she sat next to him, the white box in her lap. He gave her a reassuring smile, "I've been worse." She gave him a sad smile before opening the box, "Mind if I take care of your wounds?" His only response was to let her know what an angel she was as she poured a bit of alchohol onto a piece of fluff. "This will sting a bit." She warned him before dabbing at the cut on his lip, cleaning away the blood. It did sting but he'd felt worse. He also didn't want to flinch and look week in front of the woman.
She was so gentle as she tended to the cuts and scrapes left behind by the Captain's 'questioning'. He was surprised to see her eyes change suddenly. Nothing dramatic, just a strange look of new wisdom and understanding in them all of a sudden. Steve interrupted them as she was about to bandage a partiularly nasty gash on his arm. Pure rage flashed across his face before he snatched her up. Causing the supplies from the first-aid kit to scatter across the cell floor. He held her firmly by the shoulders as he trapped her against the closest wall. "What is wrong with you? He tried to take over the world and you're here helping him? What did he do to you?" He cupped her face in one hand, pushing her bangs from her face a bit as the rage turned to concern and fear.
"Leave her be! I did nothing to her!" "Shut up!" He snapped at Loki before turning his attention back to the girl. He was about to speak again when he noticed her eyes change to a brighter shade of green. "Steve. It would be in your best interest to drop it." Her voice was calm and quiet. It gave both men the chills. The Captain backed away slowly and her eyes returned to normal before Loki could see them. She wanted to smile at the fear that radiated off the blond. It smelled wonderful. He didn't know exactly how far he could or should push her. She retained control of herself no matter what form she was in so there was no way to try and reason with the monster seperately like he could with Hulk.
Loki was confused. Why was the Super Soldier so scared of the small girl? "Please calm down, Candy. I'm only trying to help you." Loki watched as the man raised his hands in defense and the girl simply smiled and left the room. Steve gave the prisoner a dirty look as soon as she was gone before picking up the medical supplies and leaving the god alone in his cell again.
Steve was on his way back to the living room when the power went out, trapping him in the elevator. Strange. There was no storm to knock out the power like that. They must be under attack. He looked around the small area to try and find a way out before the power quickly kicked back on and the elevator immediately resumed its accent as though nothing happened.
The archer had just taken Stark's place as guard when the power bliped, causing Stark to freak out and rush off to see what the hell happened to his systems. Clint didn't seem bothered by it any and just settled in for a nap. It was really late and he had already had a long day. Loki had glanced around questioningly when everything went dark and nearly jumped out of his skin when a hand rested on his shoulder. He turned to the hand's owner as soon as the lights came back on to find a pair of striking blue eyes looking at him from beneath a grey hood.
The man stood up and placed his hand against the door, a web of black forming over the metal and stretching around the edges to force the lock open in a way that wouldn't make the alarms go off. He beccond Loki to follow as he quietly slipped out and down the hall. Loki followed obediantly. As they say, one shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth. He snickered to himself as he noticed the sleeping 'guard' in passing. The man he was following knew what he was doing. He knew every twist and turn of the building along with all the security codes to get them out.
Why couldn't Stark put any other exits in this place? They had to leave through the front door, alerting employees of the escape as soon as they entered the lobby. They could have gone through the garage, but Jarvis would have alerted the Avengers faster that way. The man grabbed Loki by the arm and dashed out the door and down the street before Iron Man landed in front of them. Tony was shocked to say the least when the man's arm changed the same way Candy's did into a large, hammer-like fist and knocked him back into a building. "Go!" He shouted to Loki as the others arrived and he took off, fists and claws swinging.
Whatever they'd developed to block his magic reached out over nearly the entire block. Loki finally made it to the street when someone reached out and yanked him into their car before speeding off. The Avengers too busy fighting the strange man to notice his absence. He'd landed in the car akwardly with his upper half in the driver's seat, on top of the driver. He spared his abductor a glance before righting himself. Dante only laughed at the confusion on his face as he took them somewhere safe.
After a few minutes of fighting the man decided it was time to go and ran up the side of a building before leaping across to another one. Iron Man followed him closely. Unfortunately not close enough. He lost him as soon as he'd dropped down into a crowded sidewalk. He flew past a few times, people stopping to take pictures as he and the AI searched frantically for the man. He was gone.
A/N: Sorry about the horrid spelling. It's like a three ring circus here and I can't concentrate enough to even google the correct spelling of things..
Anyone know how to kill three dogs and a chicken and make it look like an accident or natural causes? Bonus points if it includes breaking a tv. I'm so sick of news!
