"What have you done to him?" Lizzie snapped, looking up to Loki as Steve finally became unresponsive and she moved around his body on her knees, her hands resting on his pale face, pushing his hair from his features as she shook violently, moving her fingertips down and onto his neck, pressing into the vein to see if she could feel for a pulse.

"We are having our revenge," the other voice spoke, looking onto the city whilst Lizzie continued to watch Loki. The God of Mischief remained slightly confused as to what he was seeing. He had thought the human had been strong. He had thought that she had been even stronger than some warriors on Asgard. How wrong he was. She was in love and love made everyone weak. Torturing her through him had been a good idea. It had broken her. But now her own death would mean nothing to her.

"Revenge?" Lizzie spat out. "For what? What did he do to you? What did he ever do?"

"He stopped Loki," the red man spoke, turning back to look at her. "Granted, Loki should never have failed in his take in the first place."

Lizzie shook her head, looking back at Steve as hot tears moved down her grubby cheeks and landed on the star on his chest as the red man moved closer to her, the black cloak tightly pulled around his body and Lizzie tried not to flinch at the sight of him.

"The tesseract is powerful. I have its power and in turn I have drained the life from your super soldier. He shall not awake. There is no use in crying over him. However, your life holds no value for me...but it is Loki who seems to want revenge on you. I fail to believe how you have ever caused him any trouble...I suppose it shows just how weak he really is."

Lizzie looked up to Loki who was glaring at him, his jaw was set in a stubborn manner and his eyes were glaring in a narrowed fashion, refusing the move from him. Lizzie shook her head, wondering if she could play any of this to her advantage. Loki's anger would always be the downfall of him. She knew that.

"He failed to take over Earth once before," Lizzie informed him, still holding tightly onto Steve as she felt a faint pulse beneath her fingertips. Her fingers laced into his as she squeezed tightly, silently urging him to wake up for her. She couldn't do any of this without him. "What makes you think that you need his help this time?"

"Silence!" Loki snapped loudly, storming forwards so he stood in front of Lizzie, looking down at her with anger. "Thanos and I shall take over your petty world. You will see that."

"Thanos?" Lizzie arched a brow and looked between the pair of them as she saw something in the distance which looked like a man in the air. She quickly diverted her gaze back to the pair of them as Thanos turned his attention to Loki, his face stern. "Not master now?"

"Be quiet!" Loki roared at her, turning to look at Thanos, his chin jutted out in pride as the two of them glanced at each other. "You know that it is me who has made this possible. I am the one who took the tesseract and brought you down to Earth."

"And I am the one who gave you the power to do so." Thanos spat at Loki, circling the God like he was prey. Lizzie continued to hold Steve, slowly moving back on her knees, pulling his body with her as she went and staying out of the way of the two males.

She had lived in New York long enough to know when an alpha male was on the prowl. She wasn't blind and she wasn't naive.

"The tesseract's power is something which I have controlled before," Loki said quickly. "It is I who is destined to rule! It is I who is destined to look over these humans and control them!"

"Do not test me!" Thanos roared, his voice bellowing through the room and Lizzie winced at the noise, not knowing what to do as her eyes darted to the window and the flying figure grew larger in front of her eyes. "The Chitauri shall be with us soon and under my control. Not yours. How do you think you will fare then?"

Loki remained silent, realising that he had no chance against an army as large as the one which Thanos controlled. Lizzie quickly shook her head as a roar echoed through the air from outside. The two men looked at each other, rushing to the window and looking downwards as the green figure climbed the Statue, his face full of anger and his roars ripping through the air.

"And where is your army?" Loki snapped, worrying as he noted Stark in the distance. They had all found their way to the island. "If we are not quick to act then we can do nothing!"

"They shall be here momentarily," Thanos said, his voice calm and collected as he remained stood but Loki was suddenly swept off his feet as Stark collided with him.

Lizzie shrieked as the pair of them whizzed past her, causing her hair to blow as they went. Thanos turned to look at the commotion as Loki lay on the ground, his eyes glaring up as Stark stood above him, his foot pressed on his chest.

"What do you think?" Stark wondered, moving his helmet down as he glanced at Lizzie and Steve, his eyes showing confusion and fear as he saw Lizzie's sobbing and Steve's still body. "There are two of you and I believe you are outnumbered."

"I have an army on the way," Thanos said quickly. "Do not become so confident."

"That is unless we destroy the tesseract," Stark said and Thanos laughed quickly, shaking his head as Stark froze, the noise scaring him slightly.

"Destroying the tesseract will not help you," Thanos promised Stark. "If anything you will be killing your beloved Captain."

"What have you done to him?" Stark hissed and Thanos continued to grin, knowing that he had gotten to Stark as he turned to look back out the window, his hands behind his back.

"You shall see."
