Meanwhile back in the apartment
"Thanks again for stopping by guys, it's sure has been a blast to say the least." said Darcy as she standing right at her doorway with Thor and Jane on the other end. "Sorry again about the entire Ian thing that happened earlier."
"It's fine, we did just showed up out of nowhere." said Jane.
"Well it's all over now, hope that you guys get home safe." said Darcy as she grabs a hold of the door and is ready to close it and end the visit before anything else happens. "But right now I have to do a lot of things to do, so I'll see you guys later and..."
"Darcy, maybe-" starts Thor before the next thing either of them knew is Darcy just slams the door right at their faces.
"Sorry, I was in a hurry." said Darcy from her side of the closed door. "See you guys soon and yeah... Sorry again."
She waits until she hears Thor and Jane's footsteps leave the doorway to make sure that everything is all clear and once they are gone, she goes over to sit on her couch, completely exhausted and yet is relieved that she managed to pull it off. That neither Thor or Jane or worse both suspect something going on and then they see Loki in the bathroom or saw through the illusion. She's just lucky that they don't know Ian really well and Loki can simply wing it with his Ian expression and he seems to be doing a good job in trying to act as Ian like as he can. Though she doesn't know how she is going to keep pulling it off and make sure that the secret stays a secret, maybe she should ask Loki to use his magic to disguise as her and deal with them next time. She really does not want to find out the hard way of what would happen if Thor, Jane, someone on Earth or Asgard finding out that Loki's alive and here on Earth.
All they have to do is figure out how to pull this off every time and then it will be alright, it has to be and then she and Loki will be home free and they won't have to worry about taking permanent residence in some kind of jail cell. But at least they don't have to worry about that for now and they can at least relax and she can continue to figure out a way to get Loki to agree to become a hero. Since they still left things unfinished when it comes to the whole Loki becoming a superhero debate, maybe she can try the whole bribery thing or try to see if she can somehow break things down and see if there's a way she can emotionally inspire Loki or maybe even find out if there's a secret way of trying to get him to do things or she can simply just talk to Loki and maybe try to see why he doesn't want to be a hero.
Then that way they can find some common ground rather than this sneaky act, she doesn't know if there is any underlying reason why Loki doesn't want to be a hero aside from the fact that he just doesn't want to be one or at least there might be something holding him back. Maybe that might be the key to get Loki to agree to become one, all she has to do is make him see that it would be awesome and then he can see if things will work out. Though she is going to have to wait for him to come back before she can get to work on trying to get Loki to agree to turn over a new leaf. Even then it is probably going to take a while for Loki to make his way back, that is if he knows how to get back and even if he doesn't then she's sure he will be alright and doesn't want to disturb him on whatever fun he must be having as he explores. She remembers how much fun she had when they first moved to the city when she went off to explore it for the first time, though she wonders where Loki might be now...
Meanwhile back in the streets of London
Loki is standing in a defensive stance as he sees the Chitauri standing around him, ready to make their attack and to start to finish their mission. Standing right in front of the Chitauri and taking a look around to see the numbers, Loki quickly starts to think of a plan or try to find a escape route and someway to keep the Chitauri off his trail. He should have known that he would have to face the Chitauri again, especially after the last time he failed in completing a deal for their master. From one look of things, it looks like their master is finally keeping his word on the promise that he made during Loki's time in his captivity.
He notices that the Chitauri already have gotten their staffs and they are ready to strike, Loki simply grip his daggers tighter and really wish that they didn't recognize him and even then he wonders how they all can see through the disguise and what might be to defeat them as quickly as he can possibly can. But with the hope that they can somehow can not see that he is under the disguise, then again they all also have technology that might be capable in doing so or worse their master is near and then he would by then he would be in trouble. Soon the next thing that Loki knows is when he turned around, he sees the Chitauri's leader approach him, the Other in his hooded appearance approaching Loki ready to make sure that they don't leave the planet without completing their mission.
"Loki, how wonderful it is to see you again. Have you been enjoying your inprisoment and what looks like to be your exile?" said The Other. "No disguise you could ever conjure up would ever hide you from us with the Chitauri under my command."
Loki just gives a sigh, as he uses his magic to return to his true form and faces The Other as he got his guard up even more than before. Remembering everything that has happened during the time he working for him and used the Chitauri army to take over the planet. He is even more on the defense when it comes to simply seeing the Other and all of the mind tricks that he has caused in the past and the terror that is always speeding through oneself as he do it. How the Other would simply play his mind tricks on anyone who may let their guard down for a moment and then allow himself to invade someone's mind and torture them for his master in hopes that they would break them. At least now he knows his opponent well enough to try to put up a fight and to stop him from getting anywhere close to him again.
"Well at least, I have been doing better in comparison to how it was when I was working for him." said Loki. "I see that he still commands his army to do his bidding rather than going out and pursue his desires himself."
"Don't worry there is more awaiting you, he simply wants to award you for your failure." said the Other with an evil grin on his face. "He figures that it's time to finally accomplish his life's purpose and to end all of the burdens of the world and finally bring the balance that he has been desperately yearning for."
"Thanos finally decided to go after the Infinity Stones, I have to say that for once I am glad that I have failed in my part." said Loki. "The last thing I need is to face the end of the world because of his foolhardy quest that would result in ruination to the fabric of the entire universe. I have no desire on taking part of that and simply want to walk away from all of this and no longer take any part of this."
"He doesn't want to work with a failure, on the contrary he wants to ensure that you no longer a priority." said The Other. "To ensure that we keep our word and you no longer can stand and experience the pain of your failure and one that you will never forget. Then we will make it our mission to conquer worlds and we might start with this planet due to it possessing the stones and it would be a shame to waste and give up a potential plan all because of a weakling tried so hard to rule a planet much less take the comand over it."
"Well, Midgard is actually quite overrated when it comes to trying to take over it if I am being quite honest." said Loki as he tries to put out his own thoughts with the hopes that this would end. "These mortals would put up a fight and I have to say that we severely underestimated them, I don't think it would be wise to strike an attack when everyone on this planet would be ready to put up a fight and they won't give up that easily. You all are wasting your time, if you truly believe that it would somehow work and still think that the humans are really as submissive as we initially thought. This planet is not worth it."
"I had no idea on how much of a hypocrite you are, one minute you were more than eager to help us take over this planet and now here you are defending it." said the Other. "If I did not know better, I would think that you are starting to care for this planet."
"I don't care about this planet, in fact I can hardly wait to leave here after I finish dealing with you and your army." said Loki.
"You are so much like that idiotic brother of yours, by simply seeing the sight of you now." said the Other. "Now I see why your adopted father always chose him over you. It is not really a surprise, seeing how pathetic and weak you are and how you believe that you could amount to anything."
"Thor is not idiotic!" said Loki defensively. "Sure he can be an oaf at times... But that doesn't make him idiotic, he is brave and reckless to say the least, he is someone who would always try to fight all of the battles for everyone to keep everyone safe from creatures such as yourself and Thanos."
"He has gotten much more powerful than you have last seen him and he will continue to grow his power as he finally about to embark on the journey of gaining the most powerful objects in the universe." said the Other menacingly. "But first we have some unfinished business to attend to and we want to find the rest of the Infinity Stones, before we take you to meet your fate, we would like to know the precise location of the two stones, that is if your failure didn't make you even more incompetent."
"Even if I knew, I would never tell you and I don't, so you should tell your master that and leave now." said Loki. "The stones are extremely dangerous if they fall in the wrong hands, especially when they are together on the guantlet. He is only asking for trouble and that is power that no one in their right mind would ever dream of pursuing it, let alone-"
"I believe that you are in no position to tell us what to do and it is time for us to finally make you pay for your failure." said the Other as he and the Chitauri got in the position to attack. "Don't even try to sneak your way out, you may have fooled many in the past with your tricks, but you are not fooling any of us, don't even try."
"Who says that I need illusions to fight you, the only one who will leave here victorious is the only one who might have a chance of out smarting you." said Loki. "You are making the same mistake twice."
Without another second to lose, Loki starts to make his attack by simply trying to strike as many of the Chitauri as he can with his daggers. The Chitauri are not even wasting any opportunity to hit Loki with their weapons or to try to grab a hold of the Asgardian with the hopes that they can take him to Thanos as they were ordered. The Other is watching from afar, wanting nothing more but to study Loki's fighting style and any patterns that he can break at any moment to ensure that will guarantee a victory. But one thing is definitely for sure, it's the fight is being contained in the area and it's one that Loki is surprised and relieved that it is not gathering that much attention as he fights off the Chitauri, one by one and with the hope that he can somehow wins the fight and escape Thanos for good.
So far, Loki doesn't even have a plan on how he is going to do so, but he is going to fight them all and make sure that he leaves here without ever having to deal with Thanos again and that alone is a situation that he wants to avoid at all costs and do everything to avoid it. At least he doesn't have to worry about Darcy being there, the last thing he needs is to get her involved in this and no one deserves to face any fate or any outcome that leads to Thanos. Besides this is something between him and Thanos, he can get out of this alone and will as he continues to fight off the Chitauri. The battle is at it's full intensity as Loki takes down more and more of the Chiitauri, with the determination to end the battle before it even starts to escalate even further. Maybe he will be able to escape from this and from the rate he is now going, it is safe to say that maybe he does stand a chance.
Back in Darcy's apartment, twelve minutes later
Darcy has been keeping an eye out to see if Loki has returned or if there's any sign of him, whether it's through the window or if there is some knock on the door. But so far, she hasn't heard anything and there hasn't been any sign of what might lead to Loki coming right in. That is if he is close by and he is on his way here right now, but then again Darcy has to remember that Loki is new in town and he has yet to see everything and he has to learn how to navigate it. He didn't receive a grand tour and a map from her, so maybe he's lost or that there might be something else going on.
But there can't be anything more going on, it's not like Loki would get caught by someone or draw so much attention to himself that right now everyone knows that he is here on Earth. That maybe he has gotten himself in some trouble that they might head towards to something even bigger in the end that there might be something going on that might be more trouble than any of them may think. Then again, this is Loki, he seems to be the type that would try to avoid trouble and if he is in trouble then he would get out of it easily. If anything he would cause more trouble than being caught up in trouble, so all she has to do is wait for him to come back and relax for a little bit.
Maybe she should try to watch some tv and relax for a while and then she can return to reality and deal with whatever is going on in the world. Any moment now Loki will be back and then she can try again on trying to get Loki to become a superhero and then once she convinces him then they will be on the next step on Loki's superhero orgin story. She quickly sits back on the couch, grabs the remote and tries to see if there is something good on and relax as she waits for her roommate to return, he probably got lost or something. Not in any form of trouble that he might need some help or at least it would be something that he would get out quickly without making some kind of scene or at least will not draw any attention, whatever is going on isn't even a life or death situation. There's nothing to worry about and anything going on, now she can just relax, enjoy some tv and think of a plan on getting Loki to agree with all of this. Nothing is going to go wrong...
Meanwhile back in the battle
The battle is becoming more and more intense by the minute and Loki is making great progress as he continues to take down more and more of the Chitauri. Every single time, the Chitauri tries to make their attack, Loki simply uses his magic to make a escape or an attack even further. There is still far too many Chitauri to face off and Loki is not having any problem keeping up with them, it is a easy win that Loki thinks that he will probably end this fight faster than he can even fight and will get out of this. The Chitauri continue to fall as Loki makes his attack and fights off the growing number of Chitauri that doesn't seem to be stoping to in them from whatever attack they try to inflict on Loki next.
Loki continues to hit the Chitauri through every attack and even uses some illusions to distract the Chitauri and thus making them run into walls or each other. He even uses his magic to summon some bricks from some near by a construction site and uses his magic to throw it right at each of the Chitaturi hitting each and everyone of them during the fight. None of the Chitauri are prepared for the attacks that Loki throws at them and they are staggering even if there are more and more joining in the fight. Loki is just relieved at the result so far and is getting more and more annoyed by the Chitauri that he is now starting to see how Thor and the rest of the Avengers must have felt when they were fighting off the Chitauri when he tried to take over this planet.
While the Other is simply observing the battle and knows that if he is going to win this battle then he is going to strike Loki when the Asgardian is least expecting and then slowly it will be one moment that will speed up the victory. A tactic that always worked in the past and one that will work again and that will guarantee the defeat that they are hoping Loki will fall and it would be refreshing to experience an activity that he and many find enjoyable when Loki was with them. But at the same time, it will ultimately be the start to change things around for their side. He rushes right towards Loki and tries to hit him on the head with the staff, Loki dodges it before it can even reaches him and is ready to fight the Other and even if he fails in trying, already remembering all of the times in the past...
"I say you are more stubborn than I remember, let's see if I can change that attitude." said the Other as his claw starts to glow and Loki stares at the Other as he realizes what the Chitauri leader, the torture that he still remembers and continue to have nightmares about.
"That's not going to work, I have gotten stronger since the last time we met." said Loki with a hint of determination and yet hiding the fear that is deep inside him from what happened in the past and a connection that he hopes that has been broken after he escaped and ended up in the dungeons.
"Let's see if that is true." said the Other as he uses his power to get into Loki's mind.
At that moment, Loki dropped his defensive stance as he experience the pain that that the connection creates and tries to block away from any of the tricks that the Other might do to try to get him to follow his orders. With Loki distracted, the Other led the Chitauri to make an even bigger attack that continues to become harder and harder over the course of the battle. Loki is trying hard to keep up and yet is struggling to fight off the Chitauri, especially after that resurgence of the pain and torture he had to endure in the past.
With the pain of the memories speeding right through Loki's mind as he sees more and more Chitauri taking advantage of the situation. With the hope that this would provide a bigger advantage than they already provided and the start of the fight having a turn around that might end in the way that Loki would want it to. That he might be trapped in an environment that he is desperate to avoid and the chances are diminishing as more continue to join in the fight and Loki is surrounded by the Chitauri with no hope of getting out.
Thirty minutes later back in Darcy's apartment
Darcy finds herself watching the news, to see if there is anything that is going on, she just finished rewatching the first episode of Avatar:the Last Airbender and she is already hooked and can't wait to see more and rewatch the show again. Though she might as well see what's going on in the world and see if there is some disaster that might be going on that she might be indirectly responsible if Loki has something to do with it or worse he's responsible for it. Not that she is saying that Loki or rather a Loki that is trying to start anew would do anything like that. At least from the sight of the tv, there is nothing going on and just seeing that there is no big breaking news moment, just gives her a sigh of relief as she continues to watch the tv.
But even from the look at the news, she has the feeling that something is going on and that it will ultimately be the start of something and she doesn't know what might be going on. That is if there is a reason why Loki still haven't come back or at least there is something keeping him, even if he had to fight off Dark Elves and thieves, the last two times he had to go out, he always managed to find his way back and then it is usually the end of it. But now Loki is not even on the news doing something that she would be on the must get him to agree to be a superhero mission and there has to be something going on that might be making Loki not return and the question is what?
She sometimes goes over to the window, to see if there is any sign of Loki and if maybe there is something else going on that she should know about. That she would be able to get out and help in someway or at least know that there isn't something that is going to end up with Loki or worse both of them in some kind of jail and she ruined her friendship with both Thor and Jane. That is something that she definitely does not want to happen and let alone be the cause for more problems and create new ones for the four of them. At least she knows that Loki is not causing any trouble and maybe he's just fighting off any of the Dark Elves that are still straggling behind and he's just fighting them off with hopes that it will bring justice to what happened to his mom.
Even then, Darcy decided that if Loki doesn't come back in an hour than she is going to go look for hm. So that way if there is any trouble then she can try to put a stop to it before it gets out of hand or find him in case he is lost and then she should go and find him. The last thing she wants is to be partially responsible for something that she might have let happen, even if it would be mostly Loki's fault that things happened in the first place. But for now, she is going to wait and see before going towards into action and try to fix some problem that is not going to end well or she knows that even exist. Besides it's probably nothing and she is simply worrying over nothing...
Meanwhile back in the battle, a half hour later
The Chitauri are doing everything in their power to hit Loki with their attacks and while Loki is trying to see if there is a way to possibly turn this around. To try to figure out that there is another angel or a weakness that he can hit, as he continues to fight of the Chitauri one by one. To take down as many as he can and to see if there is a vantage point that he might be able to hit. Then he can take them all out in one attack or blast of magic that would allow them all to fall to their knees and then later he can escape before they regain their strength. But that always finds someway to somehow backfire and Loki always landed right back where he started and he has to fight off even more Chitauri than before.
The Other always makes sure of that the Chitauri are either well protected or he gives Loki the same trick over and over again as he either tricks Loki into letting his guard down long enough to play his usual mind tricks and to ensure that they still have their advantage. To make sure that Loki still finds himself submissive towards his methods and he will maintain control over the Asgardian. The fight continues on as they head towards Loki and is hitting him with their staffs as Loki continues to dodge, with only the hope that he would get out of this motivating him and the desire of getting away from Thanos being the only thing that is giving him the motivation to fight as he continues to face the very things that have the dangerous urge to obey their master and complete their mission. The fight continues to overtake Loki and it is getting harder and harder for him to keep up, that is if he can keep it up at all as he continues to fight.
That is until, Loki has an idea and it may not be the best idea or if it might hold them off for a while, but maybe it will be long enough for him to think of a plan. He quickly uses his magic to create an illusion of himself and make himself vanish, as he quickly runs towards a corner of building and hides right behind it. Loki slowly turns his head towards the scene he left behind as he sees his illusion continues to dodge every attack and with the magic ensuring that none of the Chitauri hits the illusion and none of the Chitauri even takes the time to notice that they are fighting an illusion. Loki simply gives a quiet sigh of relief, as he watches and tries to think of a plan that might work and one that he would somehow find a way to win long enough for him to escape and leave this planet long enough to a place where Thanos would not reach him for a while.
As Loki is quickly coming up with the basis of a plan, he notices that the Other is watching from afar with a sense of suspicion in his eye and that the circumstances that might be a little too easy and it simply the moment that is making everything feels too convenient. Without even wasting another second, the Other leaves the battlefield to try to see where Loki might be hiding and to make sure that he doesn't escape and to end this fight. It didn't even take a mind reader to stop to see where Loki is hiding and decides that it's now time to make an attack that they will guarantee a victory.
"You can try to hide all you want Loki, but you need to remember that we will always find you." said the Other as he quickly speeds right behind Loki and catches him by surprise as the Other inflicts more pain on Loki, making him fall to his knees as he exspirence the inescapable pain that Loki is desperate to escape from.
Loki can't seem to find a spell to get out of the trap that the Other has place him under and even then he doesn't know if he can fully escape without the Other somehow figuring out what he is trying to do or inflict more pain before he even has the chance to think of a plan or find a way to escape. That is unless he does something that is expected and at the same time no one would ever stop to think that he would agree to do or stop to see that there might be something going on. There is one thing he knows that would blind any of the Chitauri or opponent so much that he might be able to do something bigger than any of them may think or even suspect. So Loki slowly got up and face the other and the many Chitauri that are slowly approaching him. Loki gives a sigh as he begrudgingly looks at them, dropping his daggers and feeling a sense of defeat as he continues to face them and to see if this part of his plan might work and if he will have a chance.
"I give myself up to you, I surrender." said Loki defeated, as the Other gives him a victorious smile.
An Hour later
Darcy just have about enough as she heads through the streets to try to see if there is any sign of Loki or if there is anything that is going on that would result in more trouble. The kind of trouble that would get everyone's attention and she finds a lot of cops and news crew already there with a crowd watching, then later the Avengers come in and it's a huge mess. As much as she wants to see the Avengers in action and meet the others, but she definitely does not want to see Loki doing something that might result in them arriving. Though she knows that Loki probably isn't doing anything and he just wants to have a fresh start, that is she thinks and would like to help him. If only he just gives her idea a chance and then he can see that he can start a new life and can be more than what he was. Plus it would be cool if she can somehow turn a super villain into some kind of superhero, she knows that he has the capability of being one if he gives it a chance.
But still she has to find Loki and she is now rapidly looking around the city to see if she finds Loki or if there is a sign that might lead her to Loki. So far there is no sign of him or if he's in trouble, that way maybe she can help him get out of trouble and then they can pretend none of it ever happened and they can just try to make this least Thor and Jane might have gotten home by now and she doesn't have to worry about them spotting him, plus Loki being disguised as Ian is also a plus. She also hopes that she just finds him before someone does or else then she might find herself dealing with Thor, Jane, the Avengers, S.H.I.E.L.D and whoever else might get involved in trying to get Loki and trapped right inside a problem that will be impossible to get out. She doesn't even know if she can help if...
Before she can even think any further than Darcy stops at the sight that she sees right in front of her and she doesn't even know what to do. Right now she found Loki, but not in the way that she thought that she would ever find him or see her newfound roommate. The Chitauri are busy beating Loki with their staffs, looking as though they are enjoying every minute of the attack, while the big one that Darcy must assume is their leader is leading them to do all of this. With one look at Loki, she can tell that he must have been defeated. There is also the fact that the Chitauri are back and from one look, they mean business and it's obvious that they are no longer pals with Loki anymore. It looks like Thor and the Avengers didn't do that great of a job of dealing with all of them or maybe these are more of these aliens that might be ready to make an even bigger attack that might make last time look like it was nothing.
It looks like she is going to have to go out there and help, there is no way she is going to stand here and watch Loki like this. Besides if she doesn't then who will? She has her taser right here with her and did pick up some fighting moves from Thor and the blurry video of Loki on the news last night. Plus Black Widow and Hawkeye managed to fight off hundreds of them and they don't have superpowers, how hard can it be if Darcy puts her mind and her taser to it?
It's not like she can even call for help, since no one might believe her and she can already imagine how long it will take for her to somehow convince everyone that she is telling the truth. Not to mention, the authorities might not even want to help because of everything that happened in the past and even if they do help then she might put Loki in a situation where they are getting unnecessary input where they are getting unwanted attention and people trying to take control of the entire situation and then it will make things worse. Not too mention, Thor is guaranteed to find out when they call him to help out and she can already imagine how things are going to turn out and thus being the end of Thor and her's friendship. That is if Thor finds out what happened and sees Loki, but she is going to do something and do everything to make sure that they both come out of this alive.
Though she doesn't really have a plan on how she is going to defeat the Chitauri and if she would be able to help, but she is going to do everything she can to help. Darcy just hopes that it would be enough and slowly got closer to the scene, ready to somehow fight off the Chitauri, she has to wait for the right moment and then she will strike and then they can get out of there. As Darcy gets closer to the scene and closer on being ready to fight that she hopes that all of this will somehow workout...
It's finally here, the eleventh chapter rewrite. Sorry for the big delay, I have been hard at work on the fifty second chapter and I am trying to get it to come out next week earliest and going to start on the chapter 12 rewrite as soon as I can. Since that and the next three chapters are going to be the extended editions and they are going to expand the story even further, it might take me a while to say the least, but they will all be out before July at least. I also have some important announcements that I will announce once the next chapter is up.
I really wanted to clarify some details in this chapter and expand upon the story and to allow the story to further develop in story and grammar Since after rereading this chapter, it wasn't exactly the best work when it comes to clarity and grammar, but I am happy to say that this rewrite not only fixes the grammar, but it also adds into more details into the character thoughts, actions and maybe even show why Loki was defeated by the Chitauri so easily.
I hope that you guys enjoyed this rewrite and for any old time readers, I hope that you guys are more than excited for the final chapters of Redemption and as for the fifty second chapter, I am hard at work on it and making sure that it is the best it can be. As I am writing the next chapter and plan out the final chapter and let's just say that we are in the finale, the fifty second chapter is the next part of the beginning of the end and the start of the pathway to the finale. The next chapters before the finale will be the set up before we reach it, I hope that it will live up to your expectations and the ending will be the best and an ending that will be satisfying and yet leave some small loose ends that I could pick up if a sequel is ever made.
At the end of the day, it will be an ending where there's room for more but at the same time, it will give us closure of the story that we have been following for this long. An ending that I am hoping that you guys would like and one that will be worth the wait.
But just because the main story is ending, it doesn't mean that this will be the end of Redemption. The rewrites will allow us to see a expansion of the story and to see more development and scenes with in the story and growth as a whole. My hope that they will live up to the same quality as the later chapters, so new readers and anyone who wants to look back to enjoy them and read the best version of this story that I can give you and one that lives up to the story as a whole.
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 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. :)
Special thanks for Hackline83 for the whole Loki being disguised as Ian idea. I really appreciate those ideas and I hope that you both enjoy how they played out and that you both continue to enjoy moving forward. I really appreciate your suggestion. :)
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 will Darcy be able to fight off the Chitauri and save Loki? What does the Chitauri and possibly Thanos want with Loki and will he escape from them if it has something to do with some unfinished business and the past? Will both Darcy and Loki escape from the conflict that is happening right now? If so then will it be a one time thing or will it lead to something more? Who will win the fight or will the Chitauri end up being victorious?
Find out in the next chapter of Redemption, whether it's the original chapter or the upcoming rewrite. See ya in the next update. :)
