As Steve goes to investigate Tony's claims, Rachel gets to the holding cell nodding to the people she passes she enters the holding cell quickly.
"Loki!" She runs up to the door, as Loki looks up at her in surprise, he had been pacing the cylinder cell.
"Chele?" He walks to the door, confusion marring his face. "What are you doing here?"
"I-" She looks down, her jaw clenches before meeting his cerulean eyes, her own narrowing. "Loki I need to talk to you, and I do mean YOU, not whomever has taken my twin from me." Loki looks a little shocked then hurt.
"I am still your twin Chele."
"Loki your eyes are blue." Rachel growls at him slamming her hand on the door.
"My eyes?" Loki blinks in confusion, as Rachel sighs and pulls her phone from her pocket. "Rachel?" She holds up a finger to him as she clicks her camera up tilts it up, after switching it to the back camera, making sure the flash was off she snaps a quick picture of Loki, who even in the picture looked quite confused. She goes to the gallery and clicks on the picture of him zooms in on his eyes and nods, before turning the phone so Loki could see.
"Your eyes. They are blue. We have the same coloured eyes." She growls out, looking rather un-amused. Loki looks at the picture in surprise, it was true that they had the same colour, it was one of the most favourite things that they shared, only bested by the fact that they seemed to share some of the same magic. "Loki-" Rachel looks up at her twin, her eyes as green as Loki's should be, her voice absolutely desperate. "Please, I want my loving twin brother, I want my other half back. Not this, not someone who hurts people for fun, not this person who seems to want to rule the world. Bring me back my Loki." The look in her eyes could only be described as begging.
"I'm here. I'm here little sister." Loki whispers, as his eyebrows crinkle and Rachel drops her arm as if it no longer had any strength in it. "I'm here, I-I thought you'd want to rule next to me." Rachel eyes widen in surprise.
"Loki ruling isn't what you wanted to do when you got to Midgard." She snarled at him. "You wanted to look for me! ME! Not this idiotic notion that Earth will be ruled!" She screams at him, her thick accent making it hard to understand, if it were anyone but Loki.
"It shall be ruled, by me!" Loki snarls back at her.
"Then you are nothing but a fool, just like every other so called 'ruler' throughout time. I have told you of Hitler yes?" Rachel asks, as Loki's eyes grow hard, yet he stills nods. "You will turn into him. He thought a whole race deserved to die for whatever reason. Bring. Me. Back. MY! TWIN!" Rachel practically pounces at the cell slamming her hands on the door, screaming bloody murder. "You are not my bloody brother, let him go! GIVE ME BACK LOKI!" Tears start to streak down her face. Loki backs from the door, totally surprise.
"Wh-what do you mean Chele?" He stutters, pains streaking through his blue eyes.
"Your. Eyes. Are. Green." She bites out before placing her forehead on the glass door, and sighs, she watches the tears drip from her chin. "Your eyes are green, Loki. Not blue, only Tony has blue eyes. We share the same colour eyes, someone has to be controlling you, someone has a hold of your brain, or something. Loki please." Her voice cracking on the last word, breaking the last of Loki's control, he hadn't wanted to tell his sister of Thanos.
"I-." He takes a breath, his sudden talking seemed to surprise Rachel into looking up at him, her emerald eyes swimming in unshed tears. "Wh-when I got to Midgard, my first thought was to look for you, for my twin sister. But I didn't know what realm she was in, or if I was in the right area, I hadn't even a name to use. I used one of my spells so I could hover above the ground, you would call it more of flying, and I propelled myself around for a while before a voice echoed through my consciousness. I was desperate, and he had knowledge of you, even gave me a small amount of information to get me to agree with him, I could have taken that and ran, but he had also has a voice to scare Odin himself. The deal was that in exchange for your where-abouts, I would get the tesseract for him, I was told that it was stolen from him, by the humans, all he wanted was it returned to him. My finding you, though yes was the best thing of my very long life, was not by myself. As time with you progressed, he, Thanos, got impatient, he wanted the tesseract, I wanted to spend time with you."
"That was who you were talking to in the library!" Rachel said her eyes wide in shock.
"You heard? Of course you did, Thanos told me you were at the door, listening." Loki scoffs.
"He filled your head with lies didn't he?" Rachel asks, ignoring him.
"Lies?" He barks a laugh, "You ran to Tony, while I was there. I am your blood, not that metal man!"
"Wait ran!? I told you Tony needed me for a couple of days, I would have been back quickly! Yes you are my blood, but he raised me. He is my brother too! Even if not in blood. I have two wonderful brothers that I wanted to meet under different situations! I was going to bring Tony and Pepper back to England for you to meet, Loki. I wanted to have both my brothers there."
"I should be enough, there is no need for him!"
"Just like there is no need for Thor!? He is worried sick about you Loki! He loves you like the little brother you were raised as!"
"HE IS NOT MY BROTHER!" Loki shouts at Rachel.
"YES HE IS! He is as much as your brother as Tony is mine!"
"Tony," Loki spits the name, "Is not your brother Rachel! I AM!"
"Not right now you aren't." Loki jerks back like he'd been hit. "No you see, my twin would rather go to a museum with me. Or go to a tea shop, or even shopping. Spending time in the Library, or telling me about the different realms and species there are in said realms. Teaching me magic and helping me discover my own talents." Tears in a constant flow at this point, as she listed things that they had done whilst he was on Midgard. "Or listening to me as I tell him stories about going to college, working on getting your papers so you could start school, and go to lessons with me. Or how about teaching you Midgardian technology, or introducing you to our own different cultures. Even sparring, teaching me how to use my magic whilst fighting. Cuddling on one of the couches while I show you my childhood movies, laughing with me whilst we watch different comedies or TV shows. Deducing with Sherlock Holmes when we caught Benedict Cumberbatch on channel five. Helping me make different alterations to my suits to enhance my magical talents. Dragging me around the fake set up of Diagon Alley, from the movie Harry Potter, because you were interested in how someone could think magic being used like that. Helping me slightly with my business, or what I'll do with it after all weapons production is cut. THAT! Is my Brother Mine. Not-Not this. This THING! That has taken you!" Rachel's eyes again grow hard after listing the most happiest memories she had with Loki.
"Chele. I'm doing this for you, so Tony would never-"
"Tony would never abandon me!" Rachel spits at him venomously, cutting him off, knowing what lie he was going to try and reason with. "Tony is more of a father to me than Howard Stark ever was, I don't even remember what he looked like before he died, nor do I remember the last time, when he was alive, that we had a family vacation. He was always working, and Mother was, somewhere. I don't even think she had a job. Before Tony ended up taking over raising me, we had Jarvis, and that's basically it."
"Your A.I. butler?" Rachel glares at him.
"No, but that Jarvis is named after Edwin Jarvis, who was Father's butler, and ended up dying in the car accident with Father and Mother. But that isn't the point Loki! Shove that right arse out of your mind so we can go back to how we were!" Loki rolled his eyes.
"Even if I DID want to stop trying to take the throne I so deserve, we could never go back to how it was." Rachel flinches and looks down, almost dejectedly. "Thor knows I am alive, and will stop at nothing to see me returned to Asgard as he thinks my place is there. And I have crimes I must pay for there."
"Crime? You never said you had crimes!"
"I played a big part in the destruction of the Rainbow Bridge."
"Right. Well, seeing that I have tried, and have failed."
"Rachel-"
"NO! When my Brother Dearest decides to return to me, then and ONLY then, will you talk to me. Until then, goodbye." Rachel turns on her heel and walks out of the room, just catching Loki's last words.
"You will be mine, Sister Dearest." The tone of Loki's voice sent shivers down Rachel's spine, and not the good kind of shivers, this was more of fear, that was not all Loki's voice, and proved that this 'Thanos' had her brother.
'I have to tell Thor. He may know who this Thanos is, and give us an insight on what is going on with my brother.' Rachel starts to run just as soon as the door closes behind her, only to stop just as she turns a corner and almost runs into Natasha.
"Rachel!" Natasha shouts in surprise.
"Oh! I'm so sorry Nat." Rachel says, and spits a bit of her black hair from her mouth. "I need to go find Thor, what are you doing?"
"Going to talk to the prisoner."
"He has a name Nat." Rachel sends a light glare at the redheaded woman.
"Yes, I know. But like an animal, don't give it a name unless you feel like getting attached to it." Natasha states, making Rachel roll her eyes.
"Oh yes of course, because that makes total sense."
"Why were you in there Chele?" Natasha asks out of the blue, taking the spotlight off of her.
"Oh, nothing much, just spending time with my twin brother, trying to get some information on why he was acting like this, and why his eyes are blue." Rachel says waving her right hand in the air, as if trying to shoo away an annoying insect.
"What?" Natasha asks, her eyebrows pulling together in the middle.
"Oh! Loki has been here for a couple of months now, spending time with me in England, as we got to know one another. He was planning on going to my next college with me, and all of a sudden he is planning world domination. No I don't think that's how it works. Since his favourite thing, is to be in a quite large library immersing himself in different texts and and learning all he can about, well everything."
"So you are saying he's what? Possessed?"
"Of sorts, Loki is after all the Norse God of Mischief, Lies, and Fire. In mythology Loki was portrayed as a malicious deity, whose favorite pastime was to cause chaos for others. This Loki, though yes is a trickster, as well as a warrior, can get his hands dirty, so his actions, more or less, are his own. But, thoughts are being whispered into his ear, and this Loki is a more insecure version. Apparently there is this, THING, spinning tales, and using Loki's insecurities to make him do as it pleases, and wants. So, yes, but no. His actions are his own, but his thought process is being messed with, thus making him think what he is doing is good. He holds no regrets, if we can dislodge this entity from him then I will have my twin-I mean this will all stop, and he would end up helping us instead of fighting us." Rachel explains taking a deep breath and smiles at Natasha.
"And why do you need Thor?"
"I figured he would tell me who 'Thanos' is, he is nowhere in any Mythology I know. And as I've gone to many schools across the world, and in each one of them studied Mythology, it's hard to think there is something out there that I have no information about. But he ties heavily into Loki's mental state, and Thor has information I'm sure, he can fill in a few blanks I have. He NEEDS to. I need my brother back, Loki's the only reason I've come to handle the 'adopted' bit so well. He has been my rock, whilst I've been hit, to see this rock crumbling under this, desease, is hard, and I need to fix it." Rachel states, her green eyes blazing with hope, and determination. Natasha smiles and pats Rachel's shoulder.
"Thor is in the brig, talking to Coulson about Jane Foster, a woman he fell for when he first got here."
"So that was what Fury was talking about about a problem in the South-West Region!" Rachel looks at Natasha, whose eyes widen in surprise.
"H-how?"
"I'm a genius remember?" Rachel smirks and winks at Natasha before walking off. "Thanks for the info Nat." Rachel starts running to the top part of the helicarrier seeing Thor talking to Coulson and Fury.
"Then why do I feel like he's the person on this boat that wants to be here?" Fury says shaking his head.
"Thor!" Rachel races to Thor, catching them all by surprise as she almost trips but is caught by Thor in time.
"Yes Mlady?" He says looking down at her, barely fazed by her being in his arms for the moment.
"I need information!" Rachel says grabbing Thor's arms pulling herself up, and slightly closer.
"Information?" He asks as Rachel nods quickly.
"Yes! Who is Thanos!?" She looks up at him, her green eyes wide and pleading.
"Thanos? Where did you hear that name?" Thor practically snaps at her.
"So you know who he is!" Rachel's face lights up with a mixture of relief and and happiness.
"I have, know how do YOU know it?"
"He's messed with Loki's head. Loki told me he wants the Tesseract, and has somehow gotten into Loki's head. Have you looked at his eyes? They're blue! The same colour as the Tesseract!" Rachel says quickly pulling on Thor's arm, neither of them had moved apart.
"Aren't his eyes-"
"No!" Rachel snaps at Thor, her eyes growing hard. "How can you not know his eyes are the colour of emeralds, like my own. You are his brother, you've grown up with him for thousands of years, you should know this." Thor looked at little bashful to be told information about his brother by the twin sister he never knew Loki had, and had just met.
"Ah, my apologies, for I have not spent a lot of time with Loki of rather late."
"Oh yes, I know. Loki's told me, you were more interested in taking the throne." Rachel said rather flippantly, causing Thor to send a small and sad smile at her. "But that doesn't answer my question about Thanos. WHO. IS. HE!? And why does he have my brother? What is his goal, why is he doing this? Why is he forcing Loki to do this, Loki is as much as a victim as Selvig, and Barton. I need these answers Thor, it may give me the information I need to save him. Please." Rachel looked back up at Thor, her eyes again wide and pleading, causing whatever barrier Thor had up to keep from telling Asgard things to the mortals.
"Thanos is dangerous." Thor starts out gravely. "He tried to fight against Asgard when my father was younger, and got himself beaten by the All-Father. Father said before he left Asgard, Thanos swore vengeance, Thanos thought that as the son of Titan, he deserved the Throne of Asgard, as Asgard is the more sought out realm-"
"Because Asgard is a city of gold, of course, also said to have the largest and most well trained guard and armies. That doesn't answer the questions I need answered." Rachel said quickly interrupting Thor, whose eyes grew in surprise.
"Yes, well Father also said that Thanos, after being beaten in Asgard, went silent. Many thought he had perished on a distant area of the Realms. Father thinks that Thanos is after something different though. Something powerful enough to take over all nine realms with. One of those things is in the middle of the Tesseract." Rachel gasps, and looks down, her eyes growing distant.
"Of course! The infinity stones!"
"You know of those!?" Thor asks rather loudly, causing Rachel to cut him a glare.
"Of course, I went to many schools about Norse Mythology. It says that the Infinity Stones are Odin's crown jewels. That was the reason the Red Skull, who were part of the German Natzi's during World War Two, had the Tesseract, and the main reason Steve ended up on ice. It all makes sense now!"
"It does?" Thor asks confused from what she had said.
"Yes! Thanos wants the Infinity Stones to rain destruction and chaos over all of us. This isn't about Loki ruling this is about using Loki as a distraction to get what he wants! Oh Thor! What will happen to Loki if Thanos wins." Rachel looks up at Thor again, this time her eyes wide with worry, and unshed tears.
"Thanos will not win." Thor states determinedly, gently squeezing Rachel's lower arms, where he had caught her. "We will save him. You said that Loki has undergone an eye colour change?" Rachel nods, "Then we must find a way to get Thanos and whatever control he has, from Loki."
"I've tried talking him from it, it isn't working. Thor what can we do?"
"Right now, nothing. We must wait."
"I am not a patient person." Rachel pouts, causing Thor to smirk.
"Neither is Loki, he'll make his move soon."
