No Real P.O.V
Gypsy couldn't help it. When the first explosion reached her ears, she screamed. It just surprised her so much and it hurt her ears. Loki looked over at her and smirked, imagining what all the Midgardians around the explosion must look like. Their screaming painted a lovely picture and he grinned in a way that made Gypsy want to throw up. She looked out the window of the car just in time to see a helicopter get shot out of the sky by one of Loki's men. She looked away quickly as it crashed into the buildings below and felt bile rise in the back of her throat as she heard the explosion and the screams that followed.
Loki laughed as he stared out the window, pleased by the chaos he had caused. He loved this mayhem, this madness. When they were halfway to the building known as the White House he couldn't stand not participating anymore. It was time for him to join in on the fun, give these pathetic Midgardians a taste of real power. He got out of the car and started blasting away at running mortals, his green magic lighting up the area better than any explosive. Gypsy stared out the window at him in disgust and shock. She realized quickly that there were two Lokis, the one she knew, the broken one she understood and pitied, and the one everyone feared, the insane one who had hurt her again and again. Right now the insane Loki was out having fun and it sickened Gypsy so much that she closed her eyes, not wanting to see anymore.
Out of the corner of his eye Loki saw a black jet, the same kind he had seen in Germany during his first encounter with the super soldier, flying towards him. It was barely noticeable behind all the explosions and you couldn't hear it above the gun fire and screams but it was there. Loki grinned manically and motioned to the man in the passenger seat of the car he'd just been in to bring out their prisoners. The man immediately obeyed, pulling Pepper out so roughly that she nearly fell face first onto the road. Gypsy cursed the man through her gag and kicked him where the sun don't shine, making him drop to the ground in pain. Gypsy scrambled out of the car, slipping her tied hands beneath her feet as she did so that her hands were now in front of her. She pulled the gag out of her mouth as she ran over to check on a barely standing Pepper.
"Pep?! Pep are you okay?!" Gypsy shouted over the noise of a city under attack, pulling Pepper's gag out as she did. She looked up and saw the Washington Monument explode, sending large chunks of historical landmark flying all over the place. Gypsy instinctively crouched over Pepper, shielding her from anything that came flying at them. Nothing from the monument came their way but bits of building from extremely close explosions did. Gypsy felt a piece of roof hit her back and she cried out in pain though she kept her protective stance over Pepper. "Pep answer me!" Gypsy screamed, begging now.
"I'm fine!" Pepper screamed back, trying in vain to break the rope holding her hands together. Gypsy immediately started pulling at them, trying to free the other woman. "No, Gypsy, let me." Pepper said, pushing the other girl back slightly. Her wrists suddenly turned a strange reddish orange and the rope fell to the ground, burned away. Gypsy stared in awe at her as she burned the rope off of Gypsy's wrists. Pepper smiled at Gypsy before pressing her hands protectively to her stomach, assuring the unborn child inside that they'd be fine.
Loki noticed the two women huddled together near the car and walked over. "Are you enjoying my rise to power Gypsy?" He asked the younger girl when he was close enough. Somehow Gypsy heard him despite the fact that the army had shown up and was now fighting against Loki's 'slaves,' causing quite a bit of noise. Loki looked up at the sky and noticed the jet had disappeared. He turned back to Gypsy and grinned. "Looks like your family isn't coming after all. I guess they don't care." He said cruelly, laughing as he did. Gypsy looked into his eyes but all she saw was insanity. It made her cringe away from him and wish herself a thousand miles away from him. This Loki frightened her. Gypsy knew if he knew that he'd be beyond pleased so she put on a mask that even he couldn't see through. A glare so intense it should have killed him. In the corner of her eye she saw a flash of hotrod red and gold.
"Guess again Loki." Gypsy said calmly, knowing he'd hear her.
Tony had spotted them after the Washington Monument was destroyed but he knew he couldn't just go in and save them. Despite how much he wanted to, Tony couldn't just run in and attack. So he made up a plan. It went into action the second the Quinjet landed. Tony flew towards the insane god who was standing just a few inches from his daughter. Tony felt white hot rage build up inside him at the sight. "Loki!" He shouted, holding up his hands as he got ready to blast the God of Mischief.
Loki reacted immediately. He wrapped his arm around Gypsy and grabbed her throat, pulling her back against his chest as he did. He grabbed the ginger too, gripping her roughly by the arm so she couldn't escape. Loki glared up at Tony, a smile appearing on his lips as Iron Man skidded to a stop in midair. Though the mask was emotionless Loki could see the slight movement of the armor that meant the pilot inside was shaking with rage. He knew that the Iron Man pilot wanted nothing more than to kill him in that instant but he couldn't, not without hurting the ones he loved. Tony could have used the miniature rockets he kept especially for human shield situations like back in Afghanistan but he knew he didn't want to just kill Loki anymore. No, Tony wanted the god to pay.
"You won't do it now, will you Stark?! Not with your loved ones in danger!" Loki shouted, grinning manically at the expressionless Iron Man mask. Tony was glaring back at him but he was also listening to his comm link, trying to determine where everyone was at. "It doesn't matter what you do though!" Loki shouted, making Tony focus all his attention on the god. "I'm going to kill them anyways!" Loki shouted before tightening his grip on Gypsy's throat.
Gypsy felt like he was crushing the bones in her neck. She gasped for air, her hands instantly coming up to pull at Loki's hands. She lost strength quickly though and she just started weakly hitting him. Her vision started to blacken as she looked over at her dad. His mask had disappeared and she could see his face. He looked so afraid as he screamed her name. She couldn't hear him though, all she could hear was the blood rushing through her ears. She tried to shout out "Dad!" but she couldn't speak with Loki's hand crushing her throat. She mouthed "dad" over and over again, feeling herself slip away.
"Attack me Stark!" Loki shouted, watching the pain on the Iron Man pilot's face with delight. "Do it! Attack me! She'll die no matter what!" He shouted, laughing cruelly towards the end.
Tony stared in horror at Gypsy, unable to do anything. Loki was right. No matter what he did Gypsy would die. Loki had pulled her almost directly in front of his face so there was no clean shot anymore, no way he could kill Loki and not hurt his girls. He could blast Loki but that would mean blasting Gypsy and Pepper too. Pepper who was struggling in Loki's grip, trying to get him to release Gypsy, and Gypsy who kept mouthing the word "dad" as her eyes fluttered shut. Tony completely forgot about the plan he had come up with in that moment. Steve was nowhere insight anyways. No one was coming to save his daughter and he couldn't save her without killing her. Tony dropped to his knees, his heart breaking.
The last thing Gypsy saw was her father's pain filled face before her whole world went black.
