Loki already coming up with a plan, is ready to see how dumb the Chitari are. Since if his plan works then they'll all will be happy and safe, that is until the Chitari got in trouble with Thanos when he punish them for bringing back a fake Loki with them. Which once they leave and then Loki could begin laughing at them. But first he has to do his plan in order to get them to leave first.
"If I give myself up, then you'll let her go, is that the deal?" Asked Loki to double check that he's not going to get fooled by these things and wind up killing Darcy instead of letting her go.
"That is the deal." confirmed the Other as honestly as he could. Once Loki feel like that he can safely assume that the Chitari are telling the truth then he begins to do his plan.
"I'll go with you, under the condition that you let her go." said Loki cunningly. Which caught the other,the other Chitari and Darcy by surprise as exactly as Loki suspected and planned. Now it's time for the next part that as he predicted what might happen next.
"Really?" said the other in disbelief at Loki's quickness of giving in. Since he thought that Loki would be putting up more of a fight and he was going to have to drag him back to Thanos but this was too easy. The rest of the Chitari and Darcy were surprised themselves. Since the Chitari figured that they probably would have to help the Other drag him back and Darcy thought that Loki would probably have put up more of a fight then just give himself up just like that.
"Really, that is if you let her go." said Loki "Since if you don't then I see no reason why to let you take me to Thanos for my death sentence if you don't keep your end of the bargain. Just let her go now and then I'll come with you calmly without a word said."
"Loki you can't give yourself up to them!" said Darcy in protest "Just find another way to get us out of here, you don't have to do this!"
"Yes I do, since it's my fault that they're here right now " said Loki "and it will probably do all of the worlds more good if I went with them then everyone won't have to deal with me anymore. But I will only go with them if they can show me that they'll keep their end of the bargain first." Which the Chitari began to grow nervous of where this might be leading.
"We would prefer it that if you come with us and then release the human later." said the Other still suspicious about Loki giving in just like that.
"Well then you might as well forget about me coming with you." said Loki nonchalantly "Since I don't know if I can trust you to keep your end of the bargain and I'll probably would rather just walk away now if I don't know if you will really going to let her go first." Which his response is starting to worry both sides. Since Darcy doesn't want to die in the clutches of the Chitari and will forever be mad at Loki if he leaves her here just like that. The Chitari doesn't want Loki to leave since they are not in the mood to go on some wild goose chase in London after him. Plus they don't think tgey want to know what would happen if they go back to Thanos and tell him that Loki refuse to come with them. So it looks like in order to get Loki to come with them without an argument they have no choice.
"Fine release the mortal and grab a hold of him." ordered the other to the rest of the Chitari. Which they immediately obeyed him by releasing Darcy first and then grabbing a hold of Loki. Which Darcy knew that she has to try to stop them now or else she'll never forgive herself if she fails. Plus if she somehow managed to get Thor and Jane to believe her that Loki is alive and let him get caught and taken away from the Chitari then Darcy knew that she might never hear the end of it. Which will also might result in both of them forever mad at her, loosing her internship with Jane and probably get shunned by both Thor and Jane for the rest of her life.
"You all can't just take him just like that!" said Darcy defensively "I won't let you guys do this!" Which Darcy's defensively attitude made all the Chitari laugh. Since if you're alien beings trying to get a former coworker that failed you and recently reformed, then his current new roommate comes in and believes she can stop without a team or superpowers. If you were the Chitari then the idea would make you laugh too.
"He's no longer your concern and if you dare try to fight us then we'll kill you without a second thought." treteand the Other "Take him away to Thanos." With that the Chitari obayed and took Loki away back to their leader. Great I now lost Loki to these freaks and the world might be at stake with another world domination sceme from outer space. thought Darcy sarcasticly and frustrated with the situation What could be better?
"I was beginning to think that they'd never leave." said a voice behind Darcy and she quickly turned around once she heard it and found Loki behind her. Darcy couldn't believe her eyes and wonder if she was dreaming or did the Chitari managed to succeed in killing them. So she figured it might be best if she can test it. So Darcy punched Loki as hard as she can to make sure she wasn't hallucinating. But it turns out that she wasn't.
"Sorry I just wanted to make sure that you were really here and it wasn't an allusion." said Darcy afterwards before Loki could say anything. But before anyone can say anything Darcy punched him again and said "That was for nearly giving me a heart attack and deceiving me like that!"
"I just did that since I needed your reaction to be as real as possible." explains Loki quickly before Darcy punched him again "and it was the only way I can think of that can bring both of us out safely and alive. "
"You could have told me!" said Darcy angrily "I could have kept a secret and acted like if I didn't know. Plus I could have acted like I'm against you sacrificing yourself to save me."
"There was no other way to tell you without looking too suspicious." said Loki briefly "along with the fact it was the only way I can think of to save you without any of us being killed."
"Ok but what was that all about?" asked Darcy "Why are they all the sudden after you? Since what happened at New York all happened a year ago and they could just move on already."
"I'll explain everything once we get back to your home." said Loki "Since I have about enough of this place for tonight, Morning almost about to come and people will start coming around here and see me and the fact that they'll be back when they realize that they brought back an allusion not the real me once they get yelled at by Thanos." Which they both left the scene and went back to the a apartment building.
A few minutes later
When they finally got back to the apartment, happy that they're alive and that they are back in one piece and safe. But before anyone of them could relax and rest from recent events. Darcy was ready for some answers and she knew she need to know now.
"So are you going to tell me why were they after you or not?" demanded Darcy Since I'm ready to know what's going on and I'm ready to know now." Which once Darcy said that Loki became nervous and began to question himself whether or not tell Darcy about Thanos plan or not.
"It's a long and complicated story." said Loki simply hoping that Darcy would drop the subject.
"Well tell me anyway." said Darcy instantly "Since I want to know what's going on and if these things are planning to take over this world again then I want to be ready for anything." Which leaving Loki unsure what to do since he can either tell her what's going on or keep it to himself and figure something out on his own. Since both seem like tempting options and would do a bit good for the current situation. If he told Darcy then he could get her to help him figure something out, but if he doesn't tell her then he could keep it a secret and keep everyone in this world safe. But right now Loki doesn't know what might be the best thing to do.
Will Loki decide to tell Darcy what he found out from the Chitari that Thanos is up to or not? Find out in the next udate of Redemption. Plus I'm back, sorry for the delay it's just that a lot of things were going on that kept me busy but I have some more time now.
