Sorry everyone for the long wait on this chapter. I have been struggling to get my thoughts into my stories and as a result this is taking a while to get out another chapter for this story. I shall try to get more out soon.
Rose was deep in thought while Loki lay on the bed, attempting to track Tony down. Merely an hour ago she had learn that the people behind her connection to the Marvel universe had no idea how someone had accessed that world and stolen Stark from it. Several hours ago she had awoken to Loki in her room. That was when she realized what she had been doing wasn't a game. Games don't bring characters to life. "There's clearly more to all this then expected. one world reaching out and connection to another that has no clue it exists. One world that knows of the things in the other one yet believes it to be fake." Rose let out a sigh. "In less then one day my life had taken such a turn I've got whiplash from it." She sighed again. Glancing at Loki Rose couldn't help but wonder for a moment if he really was trying to help find Tony or if he was tricking her for his own amusement. She couldn't put it past him. But he had been so good for so long that it was hard for her to imagine he would do something like that. Even though she knew it was in his nature.
Loki had no intention to tell Rosetta that he could track and pay attention to the world around him at the same time. Nor that he could feel her unease towards him. He should've been happy that she understood he could hurt and kill her at any moment. But something gnawed at him. "Loki I'm stepping out for a bit." She informed him as she made for the door. Loki just waved her away. The moment the door closed however he sat up and stared at the door. He let out a sigh. "Why am I doing this?" He asked himself. "I don't owe that mortal. Nor Stark. Yet I'm aiding both of them." Loki stood and began pacing. "Why should I help her? She amuses me. But that is no reason to help her. She's a mortal." Loki sighed. "A mortal who knows more about me then most others. Who doesn't shy away from me even given what I am." Loki sat down in the chair Rosetta had been sitting in before. Loki ran a hand down his face. "Why am I even thinking about this? She's a mortal. A mortal who should serve me. Yet I allow her to say what she wishes and do as she pleases. Why? Because I fear those fan girls?" Loki let out a laugh. "Yes." He sighed heavily. After the first video Rosetta had shown him of fan girls he knew he wouldn't want to come face to face with such people with out an illusion in place. "Rosetta. Why were you the one that was allowed to connect to that world? Why was I the one brought to you? Chance?" Loki stood and returned to pacing. "Nothing is chance. So why have these things happened? And how was this mortal able to steal Stark?"
When Rose entered the penthouse Loki walked over to her. "Don't take off your coat." Was all he sat before walking past her out the door. Rose took a second before turning and following him. "What's going on?" She asked. "I believe I have located Stark." Was the answer. "Lead the way then."
"I've had just about enough of you. Come in here and let's fight this out." Tony challenged. "I think not Stark. I have much to do and there aren't enough hours in the day." The captor sighed. "When I get out of here I'll" Tony was cut off by a loud crash from the floor above him. "What the?" The captor asked before there was a flash of light followed by a loud crunch. "How?" The captor asked. "Damn it warn a girl before you do that!" Tony knew that voice. It was Rose. "Rose!" Tony called to her. "Be with you in a second Tony." Rose called. "Rose? So you were able to find me after all. Pity. Where things different we might've been friends. Goodbye." Tony saw a faint glow that lasted for four seconds before disappearing. "Tony I hope you are no where near the door." Was the only warning Tony got before the door blew open. When Tony stepped out of the cell he could only stare at the guy he saw standing with who he guess was Rose. "Loki?" Tony asked, hoping his eyes were playing tricks on him. "Hello Stark. It's been a while." Loki greeted. "Talk more later." Rose said as she answered her phone. "Hey we got Tony. The guy that took him however got away though." She sighed. "How long have you been with her?" Tony asked. "Since before you were taken." Loki answered. Rose let out a huff. "Ok boys let's leave our egos else where and get out of here. Loki please take us home." Loki stared at Rose for a moment before shrugging. "I suppose I've had enough of this place." Loki then transported them out of the cell and back to Rose's house.
"Why did you have me hold you when we first traveled?" Rose demanded. Loki smirked. "Would you believe if I told you I just wanted to see if you'd hold me?" He asked before laughing at Rose's annoyed expression. "So you really are Rose?" Tony asked from the computer chair. "Yes. Rosetta Harper. Rose for short." She answered. Tony nodded then turned to her computer. "This is how you've been hacking Shield?" He asked. "Yes." Rose answered expecting the comment she knew he was about to make. "It's junk. How do you even check your email on this thing?" Rose rolled her eyes. "Why did I save you again?" She asked herself. "Get me a screwdriver." Tony ordered. "Oh hell no! You are not taking my computer apart!" Rose shouted. The doorbell rang out and Rose nearly cursed. "Shall I get that?" Loki asked, just to annoy Rose. "I'll answer it." She snapped at him. The bell ran again. "I'm coming!" Rose screamed before storming out of the room. Tony looked over at Loki and nodded. "And I thought I was the only one to get girls to react like that. Nicely done." Loki just chuckled.
