Loki continues to follow the cries, not even knowing why he is this curious on seeing what's going on. But he knows that he probably won't let any of his curiosity go until he figures out what might be going on, from the sound of it he believes that the cries sound so much like a child. That alone is making his curiosity get the better of him and it probably won't escape his mind for a while and he might even be letting his curiosity get the better of him. At least, he will have a chance to fight off some Dark Elves, since he's not going to let them get away with nearly killing him and to some extent Thor and Jane that easily. Plus there is also the fact that they are working for Malekith and one of his allies is Kurse, he may not know who was in the room when his mother died, but he blames them all for it. He can hardly wait to make them all pay for what they did and to make sure that they don't get away with what they did to Frigga and everything they have done against him.
When the screams starts to get louder, Loki creates an illusion of himself in order to not be seen by anyone that might be in the area. He takes a good look at the area to see who might be causing the screams and then spotted something that he did not expect. He sees a small child, a girl to be exact about to meet her end by a Dark Elf who is about to stab her. The girl looks like if she is about seven or eight years old, if he has guess when it comes to human years and from one look of the Elf, he notices an evil grin that indicates that he's enjoying himself. No one needs to tell him that the Dark Elves are now enjoying torturing humans or rather human children, not that he cares about the well being of a child who had nothing to do with the current problem at hand.
He can't believe that this is what all of the commotion is about and part of him just wants to interfere for the sake of the fun that it would lead. He would be going around stopping all of the Dark Elves that dares come to this area and at least he would give them all trouble. Even he decides that he might as well do it, he knows that it wouldn't hurt to actually save the child from the fate that the Dark Elf is about to place on her. He would be no different than Laufey and to some extent Odin, if he simply just leaves the young girl to fend for herself. Besides he will mostly be causing trouble for the Dark Elves, he isn't trying to help her or anything. He is just going to cause some trouble for them and that will ultimately result in saving a child's life and then it will end there.
He uplifts the illusion and begins to fight off the Dark Elf and is doing everything to speed things up, he focuses hard on trying to hit the Dark Elf and making sure that it doesn't escape from the area. The Dark Elf tries to put up a fight against Loki and to see if he can stab Loki or distract him long enough to make a sneak attack of some kind. But Loki is one step ahead of the Elf as he quickly uses his magic to create an illusion of himself to distract the Elf and to get close enough to the girl and to get her out of the way. To make sure that it would buy him enough time to get out of there with the child safe and sound.
The plan works perfectly as the Dark Elf begins to fight off the illusion and is trying to hit it with everything he has. Even though there is the fact that the illusion is passing through his every attack. Loki can't believe how much of a foolish imbecile the Dark Elves are. He can't believe that they are all so blinded by their desire to win the fight that they don't even stop to think that there might be something wrong and they need to prepare themselves. If that's what all of the Dark Elves are like, he figures that Thor will have an easy win.
He quickly reveals himself to the girl and use an illusion to cover them and takes her away from the Dark Elf to a safe distance. Before the girl can even have a chance to say a word, Loki quickly creates another illusion of himself and then later use one to cover himself. About to finish off the Dark Elf, but he didn't get that far as he sees the the Elf has brought out the daggers that creates vortexes and called in some reinforcements. Loki quickly realize what is going on and how things are about to get worse as he sees two more appear in the area. He quickly returns back to the girl, ready to help her and to finish this. Though he does feel a little awkward as this is the second time he has ever saved a human and doesn't know what to say as he reappears in front of the girl. He figures that he might as well start with the most obvious question.
"Are you alright?" Asked Loki who is already feeling a sense of nervousness.
The last thing he needs is to find himself in a medical situation that would guarantee that he would get caught because he didn't bring a bottle of potion with him and left it back in the apartment. It is already painful to think of the embarrassment of being caught in less than a day. He will never live it down and there is no way he is going to submit himself to that, but at the same time he feels a need to help the girl and remembers the memories of finding out the truth and the feelings of abandonment. He doesn't want to inflict that, if he could avoid it.
"Yeah I'm alright, but my family is still trapped in my building." Said the girl pointing out to the building. "Those scary monsters are taking over and they can't get out."
Loki is feeling a sense of where this might be heading and he is really hoping that he is wrong.
"Can you rescue them? I really need them, they are the only family I have and I owe them everything." Said the girl. "They took and gave me a home from the orphanage when I was three, if they die like my last parents... No one wanted me back then, they might not want me now and I love them."
Loki stares at the girl, realizing that they were more similar than he thought. He realizes that he can't leave just get up and leave, the girl is in a similar position and he should help her to make sure that he she doesn't even know what it's like to be in his position. But more importantly, he can't allow himself to be discovered by anyone else in this planet. If he leaves, the girl would tell someone what happened and they might get suspicious figure out that he has returned to Earth and then it will later lead to someone figuring out that he is on Earth and he can't afford that. Plus not too mention, he would have a chance to face off more of the Dark Elves and part of him doesn't even know how he would feel if he later finds out that he was responsible for having a child get hurt. There is only one thing for him to do...
"How many are in your family?" asked Loki ready to get the girl's family to safety for her sake and leave as quickly as he can.
"Well, there's my mom, my dad, my little brother, my baby brother and sister. They're twins by the way and my mom just had them and there's also my pets, Taffy and Layla." said the girl. "Taffy is my kitty and Layla is big puppy, you got to help them! Please!"
Loki can't help but wonder what in the nine realms did he just get himself into? He did not expect to needing to save all of these lives, let alone wonder what a kitty is and what does the young girl mean by 'big puppy?' He doesn't even know how he can do it without looking suspicious and quickly realize that he can use his magic to create an illusion that might make him be completely unrecognizable. That can work, if this young girls' parents doesn't see who he is, then they would trust him for long enough to follow him out of the building. Then that way, he would not be recognize and jeopardize his secret, the family would be saved and the girl wouldn't be put in a place where she would get hurt and he can move past this. He turns to the girl, looking pretty confident on his quick thinking and ready to get this over with and yet provide some comfort to the child.
"I will do everything I can to save them, but I only need you to do one little thing for me, alright?" said Loki. "For now, stay here and if one of those monsters comes by then run and hide from them, I'll come find you once I get everyone out. Right now I can't protect you from them and need your help in keeping you safe and... I just need you to be a little warrior for a little while, can you do that for me?"
"Yeah, I think I can and will." said the girl rather excitedly and Loki just gives her a sincere grin, he is about to leave before. "Quick question, are you a superhero?"
"Uh... you can say that..." said Loki slightly taken aback before he starts to race towards the building.
He is surprised by the question and how this child can remain so innocent, did she ever see any footage of the attack he created back in New York? He's assuming that there would have been video footage because of the screens and everyone seems to know of him and his attack. But then again, maybe the girl either doesn't remember any of it or paid attention to the news to see that he is no hero. But right now that doesn't matter and he has to get this over with, if he wants to keep his secret and he can't even believe that he is racing towards a burning building. The thing he must do now to ensure that his secret remains safe and now all he has to do is to make sure that none of the Dark Elves notices him. So Loki quickly creates an illusion of normal people who are just trying to live their lives for the Dark Elves to distract them and once the Elves sees them, they begin to chase after the 'humans.' But every time they try to chase after them, the Dark Elves winds up running into trees, cars, mailboxes and telephone poles.
Loki smirks at the sight and laughs at the tomfoolery, he is happy that his mischief is causing the Dark Elves some trouble and even more so as he is about to reach the building. That things are now working through swimmingly and he is getting the area in a quick manner where he is able to get there without anyone spotting him. Though that didn't stop him for having a moment to enjoy the chaos that is happening and the difficulty the Dark Elves are having and how he is the cause of it. If he didn't have to rescue the girls's family to protect his secret then he would have stayed to enjoy the show. But he has to get to that building and then save the family, with the hope that they will not suspect a thing and to get over this with.
He is standing right in front of the building, ready for to enter it and to do everything to save this girl from the pain that he knows that every child shouldn't have to experience and one that he is ready to prevent. He has to, if he doesn't then he would be discovered and then it will all be over for him. From one look at the building, he is already dreading what he is going to do and wishes that it would be over already, as he makes his first steps into the building and is about to do a task that he can't fail or even try to succeed in the task that he is going to do. As the flames of the fire continues to grow, Loki's confidence continues to grow as he believes that this won't take any longer than a few seconds.
A couple seconds later in the burning building
Loki makes it inside and sees the sight of the building and how it currently crumbling apart, as the fire continues to spread and to continue to consume every corner of the building. That there is a lot of smoke clouding up the area and the view is fogged up, Loki doesn't even think that creating an illusion is necessary, but he did cast a spell that allows him to see through the smoke and flames, he starts to try to see if he can spot the young girl's family and walks around to make progress and to make sure that he stays away from the flames that is creating some discomfort for him.
Ignoring his heritage, there's the mere fact that he is now inside a burning building and that alone is dangerous for anyone regardless of what they are. He just hopes that the enchantments placed by Odin are strong enough that the most he would get are just small burn marks as the rest of Asgardians. But still he has been close to fire in the past and he should be fine, he hasn't had to pay any consequences from it, though he can't stand a hot summer day from the mere fact that it is more of an annoyance that he always finds himself in the palace with some cooling spells, so he can read in peace and the only go out when nescicarry. At least thing are going smoothly, as he makes it through and makes sure that he avoids the flames at all cost.
He tries to see if he can spot anything or anyone in the flames, he doesn't seems to be seeing anything and just hopes that he doesn't have to go up to any of the other floors to try to find them. That is until he hears what he made out to be a howl, specifically from a dog, deciding that it might be best to follow it and see where it might lead, with the hopes that it would lead to the young girl's family and that he would be done with the task. He continues to follow the howls, as he hears it get louder and louder as he continues to head right towards the sound. Once he gets to the sound where it hits the loudest, he quickly looks around for any sign of the family, until he manages to catch sight of them and before he can go towards them, he quickly place an illusion over him in order for them not to recognize him. Loki heads towards them and is about to say something, he doesn't know what or he will have a chance to say it...
"Oh, thank goodness someone finally found us!" said the girl's mother with relief in her voice. "We were beginning to worry that no one would find us."
"Is everyone alright?" asked Loki hoping that he won't have to deal with anyone with any injuries.
"Yes, we are all fine." said the girl's dad, Loki takes a glance over making sure that everyone's there. "But my daughter... Casey, she got out, those things were chasing after her and-"
"Your daughter's fine." said Loki as he sees the sigh of relief from both of the parents. "We met prior and she told me that you all were in here, I said I would find and save you all."
Despite feeling some regret of the reminder of what he has lost and how he destroyed the only family that ever cared for him, he pushes that aside and tries to think of a way to try to get the family out and to find some kind of escape route or to think of a plan that might speed up the rescue. Sure he can try to see if his Jontun powers might put out the fire and they can all simply walk out of building, but that wouldn't be keeping a low profile and would give him away. Besides it would reveal a part of himself that he is still ashamed about and wish that he can find a spell to get rid of that part of himself. He has to find a way to get out without resorting to that and he already has come up with a plan that might work and if luck is on their side then he might get everyone out exactly how he got in.
"I know a way out and I am going to need you all to follow me, it's very close by and I need you all to stay close." said Loki as he gives the family explicit instructions and then give them a good look. "Are you all ready for this?"
After earning a couple of nods and yeses, Loki begins to lead the way and making sure that every single member of the family is following after him and to head right where he got inside the building. Making sure that both the dog and cat are following them and that the young boy is safe and just grateful that the family is carrying the babies, he doesn't know how Thor can handle going through this and stay sane. So far, there hasn't been any complications or anything that would cause an inconvenience, he is just relieve that the path is still clear and he can lead the family out. They are still in a building that at any moment ready to drop something on them or the firey flames can grow in a second, the following couple of minutes feels like hours as Loki leads the family to safety, he doesn't even know how much longer he can take this. That is until...
They finally reaches the door and are now one step closer to safety and is about to reach their way to the door, to escape from the building that is ready to colaspe at any moment. Loki is just relieved that this entire ordeal is almost over, that he will move past this and that he will never have to do any of this again. Well, it would have been that way if something didn't stop them and the sound of the roof didn't just dominate the environment, from one look it doesn't look stable enough for it to hold and before a chance for anyone to say something the roof starts to crumble and collapse. Without wasting a second, they all managed to get out of the way just in time, though Loki wishes that the same luck would have allowed things to be easier on him. Since half of the family is on the other side near the door and Loki and the other half is still stuck inside the building, needing to find another way out.
Loki does a quick head count and sees that the girl's father holding one of the babies and the cat are near the exit, while he is stuck with the mother with the other baby, the boy and the dog still trap inside the building and they need to find another way out. Loki gives out a groan as he sees the severity of the situation and realizes that he needs to find another way out right now. Maybe there is a back exit, he remembers that some of the buildings in Midgard has another exit, he remembers seeing some of the Asgardians racing out of the building from that type of exit. Maybe all he has to do is find one of these exits and then lead them out, it's the only solution they can do and one that he hopes that he would have to try and has to or else he would be trapped as well.
"We don't have enough time to get everything out of the way without the building collapsing on us. We are going to need to find another way out, do either of you know where there might be another exit?" said Loki hoping that someone would give him an answer without having to resort to magic.
"There is an emergency exit on the other side of the building." said the girl's mother. "It's right past the lobby and it's through the hallway and then it will be right there."
"Good, it's close by." said Loki as he turns to look at the other half with a look of confidence. "You all go on ahead, I will get everyone out the other way and will have them meet you outside. Your daughter is nearby hiding from those creatures that are now distracted to say the least and it's not going to last forever, now go before it's too late."
"Ok, are you sure that it might still be possible and that-" starts the girl's father before...
"Of course it's possible and I am sure we will be able to handle whatever might come our way." said Loki. "I can assure you all that I will succeed in getting everyone out of here and they will be unharmed. Now go."
"I-" starts the father wanting to thank Loki, but he's not having any of it.
"Leave, have you forgotten we are still inside a burning building?" said Loki not even bothering it to hide frustrations before turning to the others with a calm expression. "Let's go."
With that they all went their separate ways as they continue to escape the firefly flames and the Dark Elves that are ready to make an attack. Loki tries to find a way to escape from the firely building and to continue on the directions that the mother is giving him. He has to find a way out, if he doesn't then he would be trapped and would later have to pay his consequences. During the hurry, the young boy trying to keep up and trying to fight off all the fears that he has been trying to get past as they make it deeper into the burning building and get closer to the exit. The young boy tries to grab the closest hand that he can grab a hold of, to get some comfort of the situation and to at least get some comfort and someone who would give it to him. It turns out to be Loki's hand, instead of trying to shake it off or being annoyed by it, he just allows the boy to keep hold of his hand until he finds a way out from the firely building and to find a way out. He continues to head his way out and to get closer to the exit that will allow them their escape and to return to safety.
Eventually they find their way to the door and to much of Loki's surprise and relief, they have all managed to get through this without any kind of set back or having to resort in using his magic and that it somehow worked out. Before anyone can get out of the building, Loki quickly just goes up ahead, to see if the door is safe and to make sure that they can walk through it without having to worry about the fire. To make sure that no sudden blast of fire comes out and Loki would have to use his magic to put it out, he gives a sigh of relief as he opens the door and they are now free from the fire. But only to give a groan a little later, as he sees a group of three Dark Elves walking through the alley way, making sure to hunt down their next victim and help Malekith bring darkness to the universe. It looks like he has to deal with the Dark Elves and to make sure that they don't stand in his way.
"Listen, these creatures want nothing more but to cause pain and destruction, they are not leave anyone alone until we all meet our deaths." said Loki. "I will hold them off while you all run. Don't worry about me, I have experience in fighting off creatures that are impossibly irritating. Just run and find your family, save yourselves before it's too late."
"Wow, you're so cool and-" starts the young boy who is happy to have met Loki and his help, though the reaction catches Loki by surprise and confused by what the boy meant by 'cool.'
"Now Timmy,-" starts the mother before realizing that her son has somewhat of a point and turns to Loki. "I don't know how to thank you-"
"If you don't leave then your appreciation might not be applicable." said Loki. "The moment where I start to attack them, I will need you all to run as fast as you can and to make sure that you all leave before they try to follow you and make sure that you all put a good distance away from them."
Before any of them can have a chance to say anything, Loki simply starts to head right towards the Dark Elves and begins to fight them off. He focuses on trying to make sure that they are so distracted while they are fighting off him that they are not even noticing that the remainder of the family are escaping. He is more than eager to take down all of these elves, to not only to make sure that his efforts haven't been for nothing, but these Dark Elves might have been there when his mother died and it would definitely be fun if he gives them the defeat that they deserve. He focuses hard on trying to see if he can take the Elves down in one go, but they are putting up a good fight and one that is harder than before. Since the Dark Elves are ready to fight off Loki and are ready to fight off anyone that might stand in their way and to bring down another Asgardian and have another casualty.
But Loki is not going to give up without a fight and just starts to fight even harder than he has before and is hitting the army of Dark Elves with everything he got and making sure that he put in more force and his attacks counteracts the Dark Elves and thus keeping them all in an equal fighting range and continues to fight them off until he ultimatelt dominates the fight and one where he is about to win. When he got close enough to the Dark Elves and without waiting for the right moment, he stabs each of the Dark Elves with the portal vortexes daggers and before they can have a chance to retaliate. The vortexes started to form and absorb the Elves just as Kurse did. Loki feels a sense of satisfaction as each of the Dark Elves are now no longer a threat. Regardless of his opinion of the Dark Elves, he really admires the daggers that creates vortexes. What better way of defeating one's opponent and destroying them in one go?
He figures that it might be best if he returns back to Darcy's apartment before he gets himself in more trouble or runs into Thor or another scenario where he has to play the hero. The last thing he needs is to draw any more attention to himself, but before he can even have a chance to leave the alley, more Dark Elves start racing towards him. Ready to fight and make sure that no one but themselves leaves the alley. Loki gives them all a frustrated look as he sees the Dark Elves approaching him, ready to give him a fight that is going to be an easy win.
"Oh, come on." said Loki with an annoyed groan, as he pulls out his daggers and race over to start to fight off the Dark Elves.
The fight begins almost immediately and Loki doesn't waste a second to fight off the Dark Elves and continue to fight them off. He doesn't know how many more he would have to fight off, but he's ready to fight them off and is going to keep doing so until he eventually wins. He is hitting the Dark Elves with everything he got and is going to keep up the fight until he eventually wins. But little does he know that there is someone else there, keeping a close eye on him and watching his every move, the creature is ready to report to it's master on this development. That Loki is on this planet and they can finally make him pay for everything that happened and that they are ready to make their master happy and can't wait to finish what they have started...
A Couple Hours Later, in Darcy's apartment
Loki is now sitting on the couch, experimenting the television remote and seeing how this piece of Earth technology works. For once, he is just happy to be back and to finally be back in the apartment and to have an opportunity to finally be back in the apartment. He has been tired fighting off the Dark Elves and just wants to do nothing more but to relax and rest for a little while. He is glad that he doesn't have to fight off any more of the Dark elves and that he can move past what happened, there is no way he is going to do any of this ever again. If this is what Thor and his newfound friends do everyday or whenever something catastrophic happens, then he has to wonder how can any of them stay sane?
At least for now all of it is over and he can just relax for a little bit before anything else can happen, then he will focus on his next move and where to go after he leaves Earth. He does admire how humans managed to create pieces of technology that hasn't been in Asgard yet, but some of them does seem pointless. He doesn't see the point of anyone sitting around and staring at a screen all day. At least when Darcy comes back then he would at least have someone to talk too rather than try to figure out what he should do next. He doesn't even know how Darcy can handle living in this home without having something decent to read or any forms of actual literature easily available. Maybe he can ask if she knew where he can find something more suitable to read, one where he can at least explore his options. For now, he might as well see the wonders of this thing that humans called television until Darcy returns.
Soon Darcy arrives and from one look at her, she is feeling a sense of excitement from the day's events and is exhausted from her part of the fight against the Dark Elves. She doesn't even know what excites her the most, the mere idea that she helped stop the invasion and that Ian also asked her out and became her boyfriend. After he saved her during the battle and gaining the courage to ask her out after they won. She now has a boyfriend and is going to have some more excitement in her life, though she is going to have to tell Loki this. Since he is going to need to know that she is going to be out of the house more often and he won't be seeing her that much, it might be a good starting point for them to have a friendly conversation and smooth over the argument they had. There is still some anger and awkwardness between them that should get resolved if they are going to make this work.
"Hey, how's it going?" said Darcy hoping that this would be breaking the ice.
Loki just grumbled and gave a shrug, much to Darcy's annoyance and quickly figures out that it must be from the argument earlier. Though she figures that it would be this way, but still it mostly his fault in the first place, that they even argued because he acted like if he became king of this apartment and expected her to be his loyal servant or something. But she is not going to back down that easily and is going to try her best to be friendly towards Loki, even if he is being a pain at the moment and try to be a good roommate.
"Well, today has been really crazy and I can't believe that everything happened. I mean it's a Elf invasion, what could be cooler than that?" said Darcy rather excitedly. "Sure I'm kinda bummed out that I missed out on the adventure, I mean you get to go to this other planet to stop at least one of them and get to have an out of this world experience."
"Darcy, it is not as wonderful as you make it sound and I can tell you that was anything but enjoyable." said Loki with annoyance in his voice.
"Yeah, I know that it was more of a get back at the guy who killed your mom and save the world sort of deal." said Darcy. "But who wouldn't want to have some kind of life changing adventure?"
Before Loki can even have a chance to answer and even change the channel that he is now on, the programing is interrupted by a breaking news bulletin. Catching both of them by surprise and yet they are both feeling a sense of different emotions as they see the screen. Darcy's excitement only grows like wildfire as she sees as what the news story might be and that they are going to put everything she did to help on the news and while Loki just rolled his eyes. The last thing he needs is to hear about one of Thor's latest accomplishments and he can already tell that Thor won against the Dark Elves from simply seeing Darcy's excited attitude and the mere fact that the universe hasn't blown up in an everlasting darkness. He is about to pick up the remote once again, before...
"Don't change it!" cried out Darcy hastily. "I want to see what happened today and hear everything."
"Is that even necessary, you were there?" said Loki in disbelief.
"I know, but it's kinda cool to see what you did on tv." said Darcy. "Besides, wouldn't you want to see what happened and know everything what went down?"
"To tell you the truth, I would pretty much like to know if there is still the threat of the Dark Elves to worry about." said Loki. "So I am assuming that this device let us see what is going on in this planet and everything that might be involved?"
"Yes and no, since there are some things that appear that aren't real like tv shows and some that are like real like the news." said Darcy. "Now Shh! I want to hear this!"
Loki gives a sigh as he waits for the tv to start to report on the events on the past few hours, he knows that the reporter will probably cover the details of what went on and maybe even get a little over excited about Thor being in this particular Midgard city. That alone would make any of these humans excited and he knows that after saving this planet again, he wouldn't be surprised if they are ready to give him a victory parade to thank him. But little does Loki knows that the news report is not going to be as predictable as it appears...
Here it is the chapter 4 rewrite, a prologue and four chapters down, twenty three chapters to go.
I took the time to expand and rewrite some details of this chapter, to allow more time to see Loki's thoughts during the rescue and to expand the setting without messing up the canon that I have already created with the rest of the story. I have been wanting to fix up some details and rewrite some parts to allow it to fit the standard that I set for the story. I hope that it lives up to that quality and that you guys enjoy this rendition, if you guys don't then I could always reupload the original chapter or rewrite it without any changes. I just want to update and expand some details, I hope that you guys are enjoying the rewrites.
I think the earliest that the next chapter of the rewrites will come is next week and the 51st chapter will come by the end of March earliest and I am trying to get as much as I can in between then. That it will at least be worth the wait and allow us all to anticipate not only the finale but revisit the beginning while we wait for the story to conclude.
I'm also thinking of possibly doing one-shot chapters for Redemption that takes place during the time skip and it can be anything like slice of life fics, Loki teaming up with the Avengers or just Thor and Loki as Mysto of course. teaming up (it can be a midquel story with multiple chapters), maybe even a Loki and Hiemdel team up (I still want to do it and would be happy to do it in a one shot) or maybe even Loki and Darcy's adventures of searching for the Infinity Stones. But it has to take place during the time skip and not be something that would add more to the main story that it would be necessary to read them. They are mostly would be stand alone stories that still in the Redemption canon and yet still be part of the story (think of it like a spin of series of a movie that the story takes place between the previous movie and the sequel like How to Train your Dragon (the first and second) or Tangled (for the movie and Ever After short) for example.) I'm open to any idea that you guys might have, just put a review or pm me with your ideas and I'll be happy to use your ideas to write them into one shots. (Maybe even a Guardians of the Galaxy prequel/midquel before Gamora got caught by Thanos or even one before she even met Loki or went through the events of the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie?)
Though I would be mostly doing Loki ones but I am open to the idea, but I was also thinking of having them to be more interconenctive than one may think, that it would be telling an overall story which would serve as a prequel, but at the same time they would be stand alone stories and within them, they will have a story arc that will lead into the rest of Redemption after the Age of Ultron arc. But the Gamora one is definitely going to be stand alone and I am open to doing more Redemption, but before I make any decisions I want to finish this story first before I get started on one shots or any sequels. Especially since the next two chapters and the rewrites are my top priority at the moment. :)
If you guys want to share a favorite moment or have any questions, you guys are so welcome to leave a review or pm me. I'd be happy to answer any questions and be happy to hear from you when it comes to anything you all may have to say. :)
Lastly, I want to say is that I am dedicating the Redemption fanfic to a good friend that has been there for me for the last couple of years. One that I will always appreciate that our friendship happend for the rest of my life. I am dedicating this story to Brigitta Pekelharing, a friend that helped me out of the darkness that I often take for granted. But I want to thank her for everything and helping me during the darkest time of my life, her friendship has made me grow into a better person and writer. I am always going to be grateful for the friendship that we shared and the impact that it made on me. In a way if it weren't for our friendship then there might not even be a Redemption because she got me into Marvel movies and helped me at the beginning of writting the fanfic. Thanks Brigitta for everything :)
So what will be the big news story Darcy and Loki will hear? Is it going to be the Thor show as Loki thinks or will it be something more and something related to his own little heroic deeds? Who is the mysterious figure that was watching Loki? Who is their master and how will that play into this story? What will Loki's rare hero moment lead? Will Darcy find out? What will happen when she does? See you guys in the next update. :)
