CHAPTER 25 – Satellite
Sigyn was nervously pacing around the floor, waiting for her Father to come. Thanks to Shuri and the energy field now opened, the Grand Master's spaceship was currently landing safely. Thor and Sigyn had succeeded in making Tony accept to free Loki, the God of thunder's description of him truly terrifying him. Plus, Loki seemed to really be scared of that guy. A hard Earthquake reported them that the Grand Master had finally landed.
When the doors of the red and white spaceship opened, a white fog appeared, making everyone cough. The tall frame of the Grand Master became clearer with every step he took. Tony laughed silently when he saw Loki paled further at each passing seconds. The Iron-Man knew that the God was probably still under the control of the Mind Stone, his eyes still red, but Sigyn's father still managed to freak him out.
The Grand Master was really tall, considering his daughter's size. His grey hard was all spiky, blue make-up was painted on his face, a weird golden coat was above a strange blue shirt and tigh silver pants. He was carrying a strange staff with ridiculous bubbles. In a nutshell, he was looking as crazy as Sigyn.
- People of planet Earth, he said with a bright smile, my name is the Grand Master and I'm... huh... about to become your ruler. Those who resist me will become... huh... melted. This is my melting stick. Yeah, if people displease me, I can melt them. Now, where'... where's my daughter ?
Sigyn slowly rose her hand like a student who doesn't want to participate while Tony was mumbling something about the similarity of his freak and Loki. She took Loki's hand, tightening her grip as hard as she could to give her courage, his cool touch sending her a warm feeling. Despite his recent actions, she had to act like everything was fine between them. No doubt she would scream at him behind closed doors but for now, they had to play a happy loving new-weds couple.
She pulled on the Jotun's hand to make him follow her while she walked to her Father with small steps. The Grand Master opened his arms, inviting his daughter into a hug and relanctundly, Sigyn dropped the God's hand to go into her father's embrace. After a brief hug, he pushed her away gently, taking his time to look at her.
- I can't believe that my baby is having a baby... he squealed in delight.
- Daddy, she chastised, blushing... You remember Loki ?
- How... How could I've forget him ? He is the one who led the revolution in Sakaar, honey.
Looking at the God, the Grand Master smirked when he realised that the man didn't dare to look him. His smile widened when he saw the device on his neck.
- Oh, I see you gave him an obedience disk... It's a little invention of mine by the way. You know, some people find it quite of... eurotic, he said winking at Loki.
Without waiting for an answer, the Grand Master walked to the building, his free arm around his daughter's shoulder. From behind, Loki conjured a small knife and threw it at the man's back. Luckily for him, Steve deviated the weapon, throwing his shield on it. The Sakaarians didn't seemed to have notice any of the events, to busy to talk about the imaginery baby. Loki sent a murderous glare to Captain America before following them inside.
- Well, E.T. man, Tony said when they were sitten all in the conference room, it's nice to have you in here and all but we just need to clarify one point... Earth don't need a new ruler. Your "son-in-law" over there tried to invaded us once upon a time, and it didn't end very well for him...
- Oh... Oh, I see, the Sakaarian said. Well, I'm clearly more qualified than him to...
- Dad ! Sigyn interrupted. My hubby is absolutely qualified in everything ! He is perfect, despite his obvious flaws...
-Yes, yes, yes, he said, waving like to dismiss her. So, what are you guys doing up here ? You're some sort of squad or something… Don't think I forget you, Sparkles… You stole my beloved champion !
The Grand Master winked at him playfully while Bruce was blushing, lowering his head to try to disappear. Thor paled a little at the mention of what I happened in Sakaar. The God of Thunder clearly reminded how the Grand Master had melted his own cousin.
- We're the Avengers ! Peter answered to cut the awkward silence. And we are trying to figure out the solution of…
A loud crash stopped the teenager's speech. Tony just had the time to stop a powerful blast of energy from Loki to hit the older Sakaarian with his armor by putting his arm on the Grand Master's chair. The billionaire coughed a little, trying to disspel the smoke the smash had made.
- I really need to fix my armor, Stark mumbled loud enough to everyone to hear. I hate when my system crashs…
The Grand Master nodded with defiance, but returned to his not-so-subtle eye-flirt with Natasha. The Black Widow rolled her eyes, not impress by this old man while the Iron-Man sighed, relieved that the man didn't acknowledge what had really happened. Loki pouted with a grimace, clearly annoyed that his second murder attempt had failed.
- Sigyn, the Grand Master said with concern. My baby… My sweet little girl… Don't tell me you're working with them… Imagine if you got hurt… Does your husband really allow you to fight ?
The God of Mischief was currently looking at nothing, not even paying attention to the discussion, deeply thinking about some plans to kill everyone while enjoying it the most. Sigyn violently elbowed him, taking him back to the present. Loki blinked several times, disappointing that his dreams of murder were not true. Every eyes were on him and he sighed, having no idea why. He smiled tentivatively and took Sigyn's hand, silently asking for her assistance.
- Loki is supportive with everything I do, she said firmly.
- What about the baby ? her father asked. Would you really put…
- Did Sigyn show you our dog ? The Trickster asked, cutting short the discussion.
- Oh ! I love dogs ! The Grand Master squealed with delight, clapping his hands like a child at Christmas.
With a bright smile, Sigyn quickly took Rocket from the ground, holding it at arm lenght to her father. The raccoon was obviously upset and growled darkly at the older man. The Sakaarian dictator flinched with a disgustive look at the animal.
- Isn't it cute ? Sigyn exclaimed with too much excitement.
- Is... that... a real dog ? He asked with a snort. Earth dog really look... well, how to put it simply... strange...
The question earned another growl of the animal who showed his pointy teeth, a hand ready to take one of his guns at his belt.
- It's name is... Thori ! Loki said, winking at his brother with mockery. We named it after my brother.
- Oh, I see… The Grand Master whispered, frowning his eyebrows… Does it do sparkles too ?
- No, I don't think so… But, like my brother, it can bite ! And, it has his eyes… They both have the same… stupid look…
- Loki ! Thor chastised.
- Oh… so it can bite ! The old Sakaarian said, laying slowly to have a better look at the animal.
- If it bites ? I can even say that it certainly have rabies… It's quite common in racc… hum, dogs of its species… Tony added with a lazy tone, a playful and proud smile on his face.
- And what about the guns ? Is it normal to give guns to a dog ? the Sakaarian asked to the billionnaire, batting his eyeslashes.
- Yes, of course ! It's quite common… It's a… hound dog ! The Iron-Man answered with a shrug, trying to countain a sly smirk.
- Holy shit, this is... Rocket started to mumbled but a hard glare from the blond God stopped him from talking. Woof ?
- We love it so much, the petite brunette continued. Sometimes, it's almost like it could actually talk...
Sigyn's father looked at her strangely and turned to face Tony.
- Do all your... dogs... look like that ?
Availling that the man didn't look at his direction, Loki quickly took one of Rocket's gun and fired at the Sakaarian. Bruce, who was sitting next to him, just has time to move the old man to avoid the blast. Sigyn turned to the raccoon with wide eyes and seeing the gun still smoking in his paw - the poor animal had no idea how it came here - took it far away of her father.
- Thori ! She chastised. You naughty, NAUGHTY dog ! Is that a way to welcome your grand-father ?
Loki had a hard time not to laugh at the situation, relaxing in his chair, hands behind his head. The look of pure hate and incomprehension of the raccoon was truly hilarious. He bit his tongue to avoid a sly grin to appear when he saw his "wife" took the animal outside. They all heard a loud shriek followed by curses - no doubt said by the raccoon. The Grand Master chuckled and turned to Bruce.
- Huh, Mister ? You look like... like the most reasonable... thing... here. Is there any chance you could tell me where my beloved champion is ?
The poor doctor Banner blushed furiously and took away his glasses, nervously cleaning them. Natasha put a friendly hand on his shoulder as he lowered his head. Loki sighed loudly, seeing this pityful scene. He got up slowly and, excuzing himself with the reason of finding Sigyn, he bowed to his "father-in-law" and went away. On the corridor, not paying attention, he bumped into the small Sakaarian who was holding a now sleeping raccoon. Smiling charmingly, he didn't saw the slap coming and therefor couldn't stop her tiny hand to collapse hardly with his cheek. A burning sensation tingled his face but he kept smiling.
- Why are you so angry, love ? He purred, a spark of pure mischief in his eyes.
- I went everywhere for you, she began to sing with all her might. I even did my hair for you. I bought new underwear, they're blue. And I wore 'em just the other day. Love, you know I'll fight for you, I left on the porch light for you. Whether you are sweet or cruel, I'm gonna love you either way...
She slapped him again, this time on his other cheek before she lowered her eyes, watching with fascination her hand. She dived her rainbow eyes in his and hissed :
- You better behave and learn to love me back soon, old God...
Sigyn put the sleeping animal in his arms and turned her heels, leaving the Trickster speechless. Not knowing what to do with « Thori » or whatever its name was, Loki put it on the bare ground and, putting his hands on his trousers's pockets. He was soon arrived in the end on the corridor that a small hand suddendly came out of nowhere, pulling him into a dark room. Blinking severals times to ajust to the darkness, the Norse God soon saw the frame of Jane appearing. The only light on the room was from a computer screen, lightning her face in the most bizarre way. Despite the ugly light, he saw her blushed, gazing her doe eyes down from embarrasment.
- Lady Jane, he purred, kissing soflty the back of her hand.
He saw her flushed again, glad his little flirt worked. Just imagining the look on Thor's face if he could see the scene was worth the effot he had to make to touch her. She bit her bottom lip, not really knowing how to react.
- I… hum… I was working on the Gauntlet energy and… hum… I might need a little help about… you know…
- Like I said before, these things are beyond your knowledge, doctor Foster… But maybe you could just hand me the Gauntlet so I…
- I don't think it's a good idea… Doctor Banner said…
He put a cold finger on her lips, already bored by her stupidity. How could Thor could have been attracted by her ? He sighed mentally, thinking of the precious time he would have to spend on her. Even if he was doing it to piss his brother off, was it really worth it ? But, unfortunately for him, she was really into him. Jane laughed nervously, putting her small hand on his firm chest.
- You know, never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined that you liked me. Like, the first time I saw you, I slapped you ! Well, the first time I saw your brother, I hit him with my car so… I gotta confess something to you.
She took a long breath to calm her fast heartbeats and, not daring to look into his eyes, she began to hum.
- Like a satellite, I'm in orbit all the way around you and I would fall out into the night. Can't go a minute without your love. Love, I got it bad for you. I saved the best I have for you. You sometimes make me sad and blue, wouldn't have it any other way. You got me, you got me, a force more powerful than gravity. It's physics, there's no escape !
- Isn't this cute, Loki laughed, you are an IPod too !
Raising a misunderstanding eyebrow, she looked at him with disbelief while he smiled slyly. Eyes twinkling with mischief, he bent, kissing lighly her hand.
- Please accept my deepest apologies, lady Jane, but I must go…
Walking away as fast as he could while looking perfectly calm, he went searching for the other silly midgardian. His inner monster seemed to have calm a bit, leaving his thoughts clear concerning his plans for the future. But for them to happen, he clearly needed the politic student. Finding someone was pretty easy when you were a wizard so, a few minutes later, he stood tall near a coffee machine where the brunette was waiting for her cup to be ready. Taking the warm beverage in both hands, she jumped in fear, realising his presence next to her.
- Gee, you scared me ! she skrieked.
Loki grimaced at her acute voice but quickly put back his most charming face. A crooked smile on his lips, he bowed respectfully, earning her to blush slighlty.
- So, what's up tall guy ? Darcy asked nonchalantly.
- I was wondering if you had thought about my proposition, he purred, his voice soft and deep.
- Wow, wow… Aren't you already with the strange girl who knocked Jane off ?
- Sigyn is kind of… crazy, the God answered, waving at the question like it was unimportant. Let's just talk about you, me and Misgardian politic, should we ?
- Ah ! she exclaimed, pointing an accusative finger at him. You just want to use me ! I knew it !
- Love, my aim is straight and true, Cupid's arrow is just for you, I even painted my fingernails for you, Loki whispered deep, his eyes diving into hers, showing his perfeclty painted fingernails in black. I did it just the other day.
Before Darcy could answered, Thor appeared, running at them. Smiling warmly at the young woman, his gaze darkened when he looked at his brother.
- We deciced to send you away, the God of Thunder declaimed to his brother with his loud voice. Banner and the Black Widow will accompany you, along with Sigyn and her father. You are to leave at dawn.
