So I am guessing that I am in big trouble for not updating this in a LONG time. I am so sorry guys. I started college last month and it's been insanely busy so I will not have as much time to write. I also had to go back and reread my entire story since it's been so long (I want to get the details right) and anyone who has read it through (which I love you guys for that!) knows it takes a while. But writing is what keeps me sane so I will try to update as much as possible. Thank you to all the people who started following this story and to everyone who has stuck with me through this couple month break. Hope you guys enjoy this chapter!

(P.S- If anyone wants a song to listen to during this chapter I had Taylor Swift's new song 'I Knew You Were Trouble' on repeat. It's actually ironically fitting lol)

Uncle Phil refused to let me go anywhere until I had my hand looked at. I had almost forgotten about my injury but as soon as he pointed it out, my hand started to throb and I looked down to see that the cloth was dirty from blood and dust. I agreed and was lead to the infirmary unit where a nurse re-cleaned my wound and glued the skin back together since luckily it was not quite deep enough to need stitches.

After that I also requested to change out of my clothes since I was still dressed in the ball gown that Loki had provided for me. Since Fury didn't have jeans and a t-shirt, I was given an outfit similar to Agent Romanov's: a black leather suit with a dark purple belt and kneel high black boots. The belt was equipped with a gun holster but no matter how much I begged, Uncle Phil refused to let me have a pistol so eventually I gave in. He was already allowing me to see Loki so I didn't want to push my luck. As we made our way down one of the halls of the compound I caught sight of my reflection in one of the glass windows and had to bite my lip to keep from laughing. Now even I looked like a super hero.

I was accompanied by three guards and when we made it to the doors that lead to Loki's prison, we all paused. I turned to Uncle Phil and tried to pretend that I didn't see the worried look on his face.

"Well… here we are." I said, trying to keep my tone light.

Uncle Phil didn't smile.

"I still don't want you to go."

"I know." I said softly. I felt bad. After all that I had put Uncle Phil through- first him believing that I was hurt in the base collapse and then finding out I had been kidnapped by Loki- the last thing I wanted to do was risk hurting him again, but I knew that I had to do this. So far I was the only one that Loki had even remotely opened up to and I had to see what I could find out to help S.H.I.E.L.D.

"I promise that I will be careful." I continued. "I'll have someone with me and you can even watch my through the cameras if you want. I won't go in the cage and I'll call for help if I get in over my head. But I'll be fine. I promise. I've made it this far with Loki and he's going to have to work harder to beat me." I grinned and felt my heart swell as Uncle Phil smiled too.

"Alright." He said softly. He reached out to ruffle my hair and for a moment it was like I was five years old again. "Be careful, Cammi. Okay?"

"Always."

OooooooooooooooooooO

"She returns."

They were the first two words out of Loki's mouth as soon as we walked in. I shot glances at the guards and motioned for them to step back, giving me and Loki as much privacy as possible. I hadn't wanted any company at all- the more people that were there, the less likely it was that Loki would talk openly to me- but I knew that if I had refused there was no way Uncle Phil would have let me go. So I took what I could get.

"Tell me, what is it you want, darling?"

I spun around to find Loki lounging on the ledge in the cage; his back leaned against the glass. He looked calm despite what had happened earlier and I cursed myself for feeling thrown off. How could he be so collected? It made me feel like there was a catch. Like maybe I hadn't won after all.

"Nice to see you again, Loki."

He didn't answer. Just inclined his had politely.

"To what do I owe this visit?"

"Why do I ever talk to you?" I said. "I have questions."

Loki chuckled softly. "Always the curious one. What is it that you mortals say about that? That it kills?"

I nodded. "Something like that."

"Well then it is your risk, not mine. I would tell you it is useless to question me but I do not imagine that you would listen so ask what you like."

"What exactly is your plan?"

I emphasized my words, staring Loki down but he just smiled.

"Now why would I tell you that?"

"Let me guess, it's a surprise?"

"See, you are clever."

"Very funny."

He shrugged. "I refuse to tell you what I have planned, but let's just say that it will be a surprise. For all of you."

"I don't suppose I could persuade you to give up all of this and leave Earth alone?"

He just smirked.

"I didn't think so." I bit my lip and leaned back against the wall, pretending to think. "Alright. So then, let's talk."

"Talk?" Loki raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah. Like we did earlier."

This time it was Loki's turn to look confused and I reveled in the fact that I could throw him off, if only for a moment. I took a second and gathered my thoughts. Okay so I had made it this far but what was my plan? I honestly had no idea what I planned to say to Loki. We just always seemed to have this playful banter. Going back and forth like a tennis match of wits. But this time the stakes were higher. This time I had to win. And I had to get information out of him without him realizing that I was doing it.

I raised my eyes, taking in Loki's figure as if sizing up an opponent. His gaze met mine, silver against jade and I felt my breath catch. Was this an after effect of the spell? Why was I suddenly finding it so hard to breathe?

Loki raised one eyebrow and smiled. "I am enjoying your outfit. Playing hero now, are we?"

I crossed my arms. I suddenly felt self conscious in my skintight suit, but I was determined not to show it. "You could say that. How am I doing?"

"Oh marvelously." Loki mocked. "Although you have still not broken me and I imagine that I am the villain?"

"You couldn't tell?"

This time he laughed. "Oh how I enjoy your confidence. You stand here, thinking that you have won because you got away. But have you, darling? Really?"

I smiled. So he thought he had me pinned too. That would make things interesting.

"I guess we will just have to see. So are you going to have a real conversation with me or not?" It was a challenged and he rose up to meet it, just like I knew he would.

"Very well then." He said, settling back in his seat. "Let's talk."

Game on.

I know that this chapter is shorter, I wrote it a little quickly and later at night (yea midnight is late for me haha I need my sleep) so I was starting to loose my ability to write and knew I needed to speed up. I am sorry if there is not as much to it as you hoped but I wanted to get back into writing and give you guys something to read since everyone has been so eager. I just bought Avengers on DVD so I will go back and get some ideas. I hope you guys enjoyed it and again thank you for all the love! 3
