Captured!
Bloom stops the bullets, by holding up her hand, but she is surrounded by flames, and her eyes are completely orange now.
She went into the trance again, the one she went into at Jotunhiem.
The bonds keeping the cage up, and keeping Loki in the corner, catch fire, and burn without destroying themselves.
Bloom makes a fist, and every bullet that was shot at her bursts into flame and disintegrates.
She then shoots a ball of fire straight at the shaking mercenary.
He throws his gun, which intercepts the fire ball, and it explodes violently.
He then falls sideways to the ground in shock and fear.
Thor says her name, and Bloom looks at her two brothers.
They don't see anything of her in that look.
Then she takes a shuddering breath, and collapses.
Her spells end, the cage that Thor is in drops, and Loki is freed.
Some of the mercenaries wake up after a minute, and get Loki out of the Helicarrier with Bloom over his shoulder - after much protest at taking her.
She is burning hot again, and doesn't wake up until they are on the helicopter that brought the mercenaries there.
She groans, and one of them drugs her with a rag soaked in Chloroform.
She struggles for a minute, but was already out of it.
Romanoff fought Barton, and knocked him out; knocking Loki out of his head in the process.
The whole fight, Bloom against all the mercenaries, was recorded, and Stark and Rogers watch it in amazement, along with Fury, Coulson, and Romanoff and Barton where he is recovering.
Stark has JARVIS do a thermal scan of the footage, and Bloom lights up like a bonfire; and at the end, surrounded by fire, her heat signature is so hot the screen can't show it and the area around her is bleached white.
Rogers says "Well that explains why she was nervous about the heat question."
Stark is thinking how impossible the fight was, and can't find a logical explanation that doesn't involve magic, which he still doesn't believe is real.
What he does believe is that Bloom has some kind of power over fire, not magic, and she used it to fight the mercenaries.
*Mercenary Base, Later*
When Bloom does wake up, she is sitting in a chair.
More specifically, she is tied to it with rope and duct tape.
She looks around, but find she can only move her head - her arms are tied and duct taped behind her.
Her legs are taped to the legs of the chair, and she can hardly breathe, the ropes around her are so tight.
She has enough of her wits to keep her eyes closed and pretend to be asleep, and she starts looking for answers in her mind.
Answers to questions including: what happened to her, where she is, and what happened to Thor.
She already knows what happened to her, she went into the trance again; and then, judging by the fuzzy taste in her mouth, she was drugged.
She learned that any spells someone casts, spells that are sustained by them, end if they lose consciousness.
Thor was still in the cage when she collapsed, he and Loki were both staring at her in shock the whole time she was fighting.
Where she is, that is another matter - one she can't find out sitting tied and taped to a chair.
After about twenty minutes, she quietly burns through the ropes and tape on her hands.
Then, keeping an illusion of being unconscious going - a literal illusion now - she burns through the rest of the bonds in a straight line.
She gets the ones around her ankles off by melting the adhesive.
She then holds up all the ropes with a little bit of levitation and ends the illusion.
After about ten minutes, her body has gotten rid of all the side effects of the Chloroform.
She then shakes her head like she is waking up, and then yells "Loki, you black-haired moron! Get your butt in here now!"
After a few minutes of yelling, with no results, she uses takes in as deep a breath as she can manage, and yells at the very top of her voice "I KNOW THERE'S SOMEONE THERE, GET MY BROTHER IN HERE NOW! OR I SWEAR I'LL GO AND FIND HIM MYSELF, WHETHER YOU WANT ME TO OR NOT!"
A second later, a mercenary looks in a window at her, and sees her angry glare.
He says "Holy shit, the freak is awake! Selvig said the amount we used should have kept her asleep for hours!"
About a minute later, Selvig comes into the room, he's wary, but Bloom stops glaring when she sees him.
She then focuses for a minute, and then says "Hey, you can stop pointing your guns at the door, I don't use magic on people who can't protect themselves from it unless I have no other options."
The dozen people that are aiming for the door lower their guns in shock, they were waiting for her to come blazing out of the room any second.
Bloom looks at Selvig's eyes, and sees a bright blue glow, the same color as the spear.
Selvig was told about what Bloom did to the five mercenaries, and what she nearly did to the sixth.
He looks at her eyes, which turned back to blue after she collapsed.
He wouldn't take her for anything other than a normal teenage girl, except she has a look like she has seen things most girls can only dream of.
When he starts talking to her while examining her, he can't imagine her knocking out five grown men twice her size who had guns, especially since she is tied and duct taped to a chair.
She asks him why he is helping Loki, and he tells her that the Tesseract showed him the truth: freedom is a lie.
Bloom knows that this can't be true; it's when she left Asgard and stepped out of her brothers' shadows that she was truly free, and completely herself.
She has never been more alive than when she was in Magix, learning to use her powers and being herself with the Winx.
When Selvig asks her if there is anything she wants to say before Loki gets in, she responds "Well, I'm going to teleport you out, lock the door, and escape before my brother turns me into a half-brainwashed zombie minion like everyone else here."
"Oh really, and how do you plan on doing that exactly?"
"Do you know the scene in 'True Lies' where the guy is tied to a chair, pumped full of truth serum, and picks his handcuffs and kills all three men?"
Before Selvig can answer, she drops the bonds that haven't been holding her for the past half hour to the floor and stands up.
She magically slams the door shut, and then teleports Selvig out of the room and herself at the door.
She burns the symbols for 'closed', 'strengthened', and 'barrier' onto the door by tracing them with her finger, and now the door is impossible to open before she is far enough away.
She then makes a line with the rope and tape, and says "Transmorph!"
The bonds that held her, now become a long staff, which she can use to focus her powers.
It's made of deep orange-red wood, like the center of a campfire, and has a dragon engraved on it.
It reflects the personality of the person who made it.
It is as tall as Bloom, and makes for a good walking/fighting stick, and magical staff.
She then escapes through the air vent in the ceiling she noticed earlier.
She puts the staff in the pocket dimension with her necklace, and the spear disguised as a pair of scissors.
The spell she used switched the physical properties of the two objects.
The spear Loki is holding doesn't do anything besides glow, and have a sharp point.
Bloom crawls up a maze of vents to the surface for twenty minutes before reaching the top.
AN: Yeah, another situation I didn't want Kiko getting killed in because Bloom was fighting twenty people and one more found him. PS. maybe Loki should have been in the room when she woke up - he was likely planning on it, at any rate. Yes, he still cares about her - she's the one who was always beside him, right up until his stupid prank on Thor to get him back for all the years of 'knowing his place' got out of hand fast. So, she's maybe the one person in the entire realm he still cares about - you think Bloom will get him to change himself back to who he was when she was growing up?
