Poison – Alice Cooper
Your cruel device,
Your blood like ice.
One look could kill,
My pain, your thrill.
Amora rushed to the chamber room where Thanos and the Chitauri had assembled. It had been dangerous for her to leave Asgardian while Freyja was present and would be looking for her but her urgent presence had been demanded.
"You do realize that I could be killed for treason if I am caught?" she complained as she walked in. "I cannot drop what I'm doing just because you boys can't have a party without a babysitter."
"Mind your tone, woman," Thanos replied "Or it will not be a member of the house of Odin that will end your measely existence."
She bristled. "If I am discovered before preparations are complete then you will never get your hands on the Tesseract. Odin and Thor will personally march into Midgard to retrieve it."
"That is none of our concern. That is a detail you are required to deal with as part of our bargain." The Chitauri commander retorted. "If you cannot handle that then we may need to rethink your usefulness to this mission."
"The only details I feel required to deal with," Amora said lifting her hand and using her magic to choke the commander who fell to his knees, both hands trying to pry the imaginary clamp from his throat. "is to get rid of piece of…"
"ENOUGH!" Thanos shouted "We have a complication with our plan."
Amora released the commander who keeled over trying to catch his breath. "What complications?"
"Loki." The commander coughed out.
Amora turned to him sharply. "He agreed to give you the Tesseract, did he not?"
Thanos moved closer. "He did, in exchange for Midgard. However, he is engaging in social congress with that human woman."
Amora tried to keep the stunned expression from her face, before smiling alluringly. "Everyone needs a game to play while they are trying to pass the time. That is all she is. A conquest.."
"A distraction!" the commander yelled and Amora had to suppress the urge to continue to torture him.
"She is meaningless." Amora assured Thanos.
"Not to the Prince of Asgard. His feelings could endanger our plans."
"He will discard her as soon as he's done taking what he needs. I swear to it. "
"And if he…loves her?" the commander asked
Amora laughed "His feelings of self loathing and inadequacy run deeper than any emotional attachment he may have to that..that human. And as for love.. Loki is incapable of love. He has never experienced it and probably would not be able to discern what it was even if he could feel it. "
Thanos considered this. "Perhaps we can persuade him easier if we allow him to take the blue scepter?"
Amora nodded "It does have the power to..er…influence him..which would make him easier..to control, shall we say? But I say we use the woman as an advantage. We use her to trigger the fall of Asgard."
"How?" Thanos asked curiously.
Amora lifted her eyebrow and smiled an evil grin "Why we kill her of course..and then we make it look as if Thor and Odin are at fault."
