Evelyn's p.o.v.
I see Thor looking at me as I pace around my room.
"You need to calm down.", he comments.
"I can't.", I say, crossing my arms.
"Mow much longer?", he asks and I look at my watch, "Eight minutes."
He nods.
"I have a feeling this is not going to end well.", I say shaking my head a little.
"Evie, we've been trough this a hundred times. It's the only glimpse of possible solution we have."
"I know, I know ...but still. If Fury finds out, we're fucked."
"That's why we have Tony to make sure he won't."
"What if Dumbledore senses something? The guy seems to know everything.", I say, remembering our conversation two days ago.
"It's a risk we have to take.", he informs me.
"Stick to the plan, okay?", I say to him.
"I will, don't worry."
My watch starts to ring and Thor and I share a look before answering it.
"Hey.", I speak up.
"I have some bad news.", Tony's voice comes trough.
I frown, "What is it?"
"You have an hour."
"What? Why?", I say, starting to panic.
"S.H.I.E.L.D. is updating softeners and it starts a little after eleven. When the software starts to update, it will be hard for me to get into it, since the extra measures they take. Not impossible but Thor won't know when it's safe for him to come back. Is an hour enough for you?", Tony asks and I look at Thor, "It will have to be. I'll make sure I'm on time."
"You do that because we will be in a lot of trouble if you don't."
"You have everything you need?", I ask Thor and he nods.
"Ready?", Tony asks.
"Yes.", Thor answers.
"Okay. At exactly ten I will interrupt S.H.I.E.L.D.S. system, you have ten seconds to travel before they notice somethings going on. At eleven I will do the same and you have ten seconds to come back. Without Loki."
"Agreed.", Thor tells him.
"I will be up in the Astronomy tower and after you come back, we will meet in my room.", I say to Thor as he grabs his hammer.
"Call me when he returns.", Tony tells me.
"Come on, let's do this.", I say and we walk out of my room.
Thor's p.o.v.
I understand why people don't like Loki but they don't know him the way I do. Sometimes it's hard to listen how they talk about him, like they forget he's my brother. He's not evil, just ...confused and angry, but I know his good sides and qualities he has. He would be a good Avenger, I'm sure of that.
I look at my watch and see it's time. Raising my hammer, a bright light shines above me and the portal opens so I fly into it.
"Thor. It's nice to see you.", Heimdall greets me as I walk trough the gates.
"Same."
"Mission over?", he asks.
"No, not really."
"Oh. Visiting then?"
"You could say that.", I say and walk away.
I can sense his confusion but there's no time for me to explain what's happening. Rotating Mjolnir, I fly towards Valaskjalf, arriving there in just a few seconds.
As I'm walking towards Loki, I look at my watch to check on the time. I have exactly forty minutes before needing to return to the gates. Entering the dungeons, I see Loki lying down in his cell.
"Aren't you supposed to be on Midgard?", he asks as I approach the glass wall.
"It's nice to see you too.", I say.
"What do you want?", he asks.
"I need to talk to you."
"I'm listening but be quick, I have ...stuff to do."
I raise my eyebrow, "You're in a cell."
He roses up and looks at me, "And I have stuff to do in my cell."
"I need a favor.", I say and he smiles, "A favor? What kind?"
"Parts of Midgard are being attacked by robots and we don't know who's causing that."
He frowns, "And you think I know something?"
"Do you?"
He tilts his head and smirks, "Maybe."
"Come on Loki. People's lives are in danger. Children are involved."
"You know I hate kids, couldn't care less for people on Midgard so yea, you need to do better."
"Obviously you don't have any information so I'm wasting my time talking to you. Goodbye Loki.", I say and turn to walk away.
"How do you like the wizard world?", he pops the question and I stop.
"Nice, isn't it? I always found it fascinating how humans don't know their own planet and all it's secrets. No better part of Earth to attack than the wizard world. Isolated, alone, not able to protect themselves and questionable if muggles would ever want to protect them. Divided by their abilities, humans are very vulnerable, weak."
"Is it Ultron?", I ask and he laughs, "Ultron is dead the last time I checked. It's funny how everyone thought that Ultron was the main character in this game, the brains. He was just dumb enough, blinded by his own rage and desire for revenge, to risk his own life for someone else. Loyalty got him killed."
"Who is it then?", I ask.
"I have to get something in return.", he informs me.
"What do you want?"
"Freedom."
I smile a little, "Yes, I thought that would be the case."
"So ...what do you say?"
Evelyn's p.o.v.
I see bright light shine down from the sky and I rush towards my room, dialing Tony's number.
"I'm walking trough S.H.I.E.L.D. so I'll be home in half an hour.", Tony tells me immediately.
"Call me when you arrive."
I wait in my room, what seemed for ages, before the door opens.
"Finally. I was starting to wor-", I stop when I see the person entering when Thor.
"Good evening. You must me Evelyn, Starks sister, right?", Loki asks almost too polite.
"Now I know that-", Thor starts talking but I cut him, "Are you out of your fucking mind?!"
"Calm down.", he tells me.
I blink a few times, "Calm down? Calm down?! Are you insane? Thor, that wasn't the deal!"
"I know but I had to do it."
"Tony will kill us! All three of us! Do you have any idea what you have done?!"
"Well, he will kill just you. We as Gods are immortal.", Loki tells me.
"Shut up.", I say, looking at him.
"Ah, anger issues.", he comments.
"Do you realize what you did?", I ask, looking at Thor.
"That was the plan.", he tells me.
"But we had to discuss it with Tony first."
"Tony is not here. Learn how to make decisions without your brother Evelyn. We are here, we are in charge and we are risking our lives ...actually, just you are risking your life but still."
I sigh, "Okay, okay. Where are we supposed to put him? He can't stay in my room!"
"Your bed is big enough for two.", Loki tells me with a smile.
"One more word and I'm going to knock you out.", I say, pointing a finger at him.
"Hagrid.", Thor tells me.
"Hagrid doesn't want him.", I inform him.
"Nice welcome indeed.", Loki mumbles.
"We can convince him.", Thor tells me.
"Hagrid won't go over Dumbledore.", I say.
"Who's Hagrid?", Loki asks.
"Your room is bigger.", Thor tells me looking around.
"Are you fucking kidding me?", I ask in shock.
"We'll be roommates!", Loki tells me all exited.
"Oh my God, I'm going to shoot myself.", I comment in disbelief of the situation.
"I don't know about you guys but I'm tired. We can share informations tomorrow.", Loki tells us and hps on my bed.
"I agree with him.", Thor tells me.
"Am I the only one sane here?!", I look at Thor.
"No but you're the only one loud enough to wake up the entire castle.", Loki tells me.
"Get some rest and we're going to talk tomorrow. Trust me, everything's going to be okay.", Thor tells me and exist my room.
"Can you open the window a little, it's hot in here.", Loki tells me.
I want to slap myself because this all seems like a bad dream.
