Conspiracy - Paramore

Please speak softly, for they will hear us
And they'll find out why we don't trust them
Speak up dear, 'cause I cannot hear you
I need to know why we don't trust them
Explain to me this conspiracy against me
And tell me how I've lost my power

"Prince of Asgard, our preparations are almost complete."

Loki looked out to the universe passing. He hated these dreams..he knew he was betraying everything good that existed in his soul.

"Earth in exchange for the Tesseract. The Chitauri are preparing for the invasion."

"The humans will not put up a fight," Loki said continuing to watch the Earth pass before dark asteroid where they stood. "They are weak."

"They are coming soon to question you. It is time for you to leave."

"I am not quite ready to depart just yet," he replied sadly.

"Your thoughts betray you, Asgardian."

Loki turned to face the Chitauri commander "I am sure they don't."

"You care for the human. She will be a liability to our plans. She must be removed from your sight."

Loki stepped forward to meet the commander eye to eye, his green eyes glittering dangerously "If you touch one hair on her head, you will be sorry.."

"You have no power here, Asgardian. If I find that this woman jeopardizes our plan in any way, I will not hesitate to do whatever is necessary to obtain the Tesseract."

"And I am telling you, that if you harm her in anyway, you will never find it and I will personally rip out your heart with my bare hands."

"You are a fool…it is no wonder you failed in Asgard. Your sentiment ruins you. It will always be your undoing."

Loki spun back to face the Earth again. "Just finish your planning. She is of no importance to me. I will take care of the situation myself. "

At those words, Loki startled himself to consciousness. Staring up at the ceiling, he knew that his time in Midgard was short. He turned to see a sleeping Alexandria. She was facing the wall but she made it a point to hook her ankle with his. Now that the initial barrier had been broken, she always seemed to be touching him. Already he was used to her sharing his bed. It was as if she'd belonged there all along. He thought of waking her..he needed to talk to her..to her hear her voice, see her eyes. He needed her to understand that he cared about her in the only way he could. He needed her to know he was grateful for her being with him. He needed her to forgive him for what he was about to do to her planet.

But most of all, he just needed her.
