25. The King of Asgard

Chapter 25: The King of Asgard

Asgard 2016

King Odin sat alone in his throne. He had commanded the soldiers to leave him alone. He was tired after dealing with Thor all day. Thor had been on a mission to learn all he could about the Infinity Stones. Odin felt that Thor's countless questions were exhausting. Now, he sat alone thinking to himself. Of course, no one else in Asgard was aware that King Odin was really the mischievous Loki in disguise. Well there was one other person in the universe who knew this secret and she was about to pay him a visit. Suddenly, there was a flash of blue light in the center of the room that immediately drew Odin's attention. Missy had just teleported into the room.

"Hello dear." The Time Lady said.

"Missy." Odin said. "What a surprise."

"Could you lose the old man?" Missy asked. "Show me that cute face of yours."

Odin then gripped his powerful scepter and his body began to morph. Within seconds, he had changed into his true form, the outcast villain prince Loki.

"Better?" Loki asked.

"Infinitely." Missy said.

"So why have you come here?" Loki asked.

"Last year I came here with an army of Cybermen and in exchange for not attacking Asgard, you agreed to make an alliance with me." Missy said.

"Yes. I remember." Loki said.

"I need your help." Missy said.

"Do you need my army to invade Xandar?" Loki asked.

"Actually, I need a place to hide." Missy said. "I made a deal with a powerful being and I have not followed through on it. He'll look for me on Xandar. I just need a place to stay for now."

"Are you sure it's wise to hide here?" Loki asked. "Thor knows your face. You sent him back in time. He helped the Doctor end your conquest of Earth."

"I don't need to be an honored guest." Missy said. "Well I take that back. I mean you don't need to make my stay here public. I'm trying to hide anyway."

"In that case I can offer you asylum here." Loki said. "But no one can know of your presence here. If they find out you're here, I will deny all knowledge of it. I'm still working on my own plans."

"Understood." Missy said.

"I've never seen you this compliant." Loki said. "Whoever you're running from must be incredibly powerful."

"He's the same person who tricked you into trying to conquer the Earth with the Chitauri." Missy said.

"How can you know that?" Loki said. "The old figure that gave me the army served a master, but I never saw his face."

"You're not missing much." Missy said. "Still his power is too much even for me."

"Last time you were here, you were with someone." Loki said.

"Ward." Missy said.

"Where is he now?" Loki asked.

"Trapped in the past." Missy said. "He wasn't useful anymore."

"Now that sounds more like the Master I remember." Loki said. "It's good to have you back."

"I just hope Thanos doesn't find me." Missy said.
