Loki had been throwing his thoughts to Glut but nothing was happening. He was feeling several emotions; angry, guilty, remorse, depressed, and a bit crazy. He couldn't stand it anymore. Glut had to come back to life. She was to key to everything. A key to find Sigyn, a key to stop this mess, a key to save the Twin Flame. A key that he had no idea he had until she let go.
"Would you drown out my anguish thoughts that keep me in this sudden state?" Loki spoke softly to the stone smile. Nothing in return came. It was a hard hit for him.
"Can't hear him all the way," Tony mentioned. "Nor can we see him. Jarvis put him on the projector, turn up the volume, oh and make some popcorn. That would be great." Some of the others looked at him with disgust. He just shrugged his shoulders. "What? It's making for some great entertainment. I don't see any of you acting like this."
"Yes, sir," Jarvis spoke.
The image they were watching went to a projector screen that came down in front of the couches. Tony went over and sat in the middle of the chairs watching this entertainment. Clint sat on another couch with Natasha leaning up against it. Bruce, Steve and Darcy sat around the same area. Jane and Thor stood back behind them whispering. It was starting to be a heated discussion. Jane did not like Loki and she did not want to be in the same presence as him.
Loki sighed and started to pace back again. He decided to let all of his anger and built up emotion out to it. He knew the others
"You stand in silence, mocking my ever presence with that ghostly smile!" He would look at her again. "Patiently as always. This, this!" He looked at his wrist, showing it to her as if she could see it. "Is a mark that is beneath the reminder you have bestowed upon yourself. Only three days past and it feels like seasons. I have no inclination of how worthy you believe I must be to end your silence. You are the key to end all madness yet here you are a thorn in my side."
"I think he's sexually frustrated," Tony spoke to the rest. "Is your brother a virgin?" He looked over to Thor?
"Tony!" Natasha scorned.
Clint laughed while Bruce and Steve felt awkward.
Darcy added in, "I don't know what's more awkward watching Loki or Tony's question?"
"Both," Bruce agreed.
Thor was a bit confused by the word until Jane whispered into his ear. He then understood it. The Norse God had another word for it.
"He is not a virgin," Thor went on slowly. "There was two more times besides the horse, that ended up with a wolf and snake but tis only curiosity and strange quests. Tis normal. There are many stories of warriors consummating with a creature like one warrior tried to consummate with a Bilgen Snipe."
"That is more than I actually needed to know," Tony spoke as he got up to go get some popcorn. He got several bowls to share with the rest. He sat back down and passed them out. The group started on munch on them.
Loki stopped and looked at her. He then turned in his Jotunheim form. "Is this what you wanted to see?"
"Things are getting exciting," Tony munched on his popcorn. "Loki's turning into colors of how he feels right now."
"Though he is of Asgard," Thor spoke. "He is a Frost Giant. Do not mock him."
Still nothing happened with Sigyn. She stood there in silence. She could hear him, sense him, but nothing triggered any effect of bringing her back to life.
"In a time, needed most, you leave," Loki looked hurt to her. "As the same as Sigyn and my father. All of you withheld what I desired most; what could have end my worries. Things I should have been told and when upon doing so, you all leave!" He was at the same point he had found out he was a Frost Giant. He turned back into his flesh tone. "Yet you still stand here in silence mocking me with that annoying smile! I should destroy you instead." His voice turned menacing. His eyes grazed over her form calculating on what he could do to her. "I could smash you into several pieces." He was met again with silence. "But where would that leave me?" His voice went somber.
"Anyone up for a bet?" Tony murmured. "I say Loki is going to kiss the statue at any moment?"
Loki sighed. "You have kept me from falling off my own made ledge, you have reminded me of the simipilar times when I was with Sigyn, and has wished for some of this inner turmoil to stop." He looked away as he had said this and looked back to Glut seeing nothing has changed. "Why have you not become yourself again?!" He almost yelled at her. "Have my words not been enough? Do you seek more in the pleasure of my pain? Is this what you want to see? I could inflict more than needed."
If Sigyn could speak she would. It was almost like a dream for her. She didn't want to see him in pain. She wanted to tell him that he was so close to becoming worthy, until he took a wrong path again. This was good for him. His issues being spoken, his needs being heard. It was only a matter of time when he will find himself worthy without needing to be seen worthy in her eyes or anyone else's for that matter. There she would come back to life and their bonds broken.
"He must not hurt himself," Thor was concerned. "We must stop him if he does." Thor started to step away from Jane who looked scared and concerned.
"Let me handle this," Tony he smiled.
"This doesn't look good," Bruce observed.
"Jarvis, put me on the mircophone with Loki's prison cell," Tony asked.
"Yes sir." Jarvis did. "You may speak now."
"Hey Gonzo," Tony spoke. Loki looked around for the sound of the speakers. He spotted a few camera's. "I am told that you are not allowed to hurt yourself in any way or form, but if you would like us to hurt you, just ask."
Loki closed his eyes and smiled in distaste. "You would most thoroughly enjoy that."
"Pretty much," Tony shrugged his shoulders. "I also have an ongoing bet that you're going to end up kissing the statue." Natasha rolled her eyes. "You should prove your brother wrong and kiss it."
"She has a name!" Loki looked furiously up at the camera. "And a kiss would not break the bond. This is not some Midgardian fable that is told to children. I have only a few days, until the war is brought here and your precious Midgard is going to be ruled by Thanos and Malekith. The three maidens will be under their control and I will be left with nothing and all is forsaken."
"That will not happen brother!" Thor boomed. It echoed in the prison.
"Take it down a notch and then speak, he can hear you just fine," Tony wriggled his pinky in one of his ears. "No need for yelling."
"They will come for her," Loki looked back to Sigyn. "To seek information of where the Twin Flame hides to use Sigyn as bait."
"Why don't you just leave her the way she is then?" Darcy piped up.
"It sounds like a good plan, but I can see where Loki's coming from," Steve spoke. "Thanos and Malekith would just destroy the world in process and whatever else there is. Then again he won't be able to get what he wants most. This Twin Flame must be pretty special. What is it?"
"She is told to be extraordinary. Very powerful," Thor spoke. "She has the power of two flames, one is blue, while the other is red. There is not much on her background or what she looks like. It is said that she has been in hiding from those that seek her out to use her power against her will."
"And this Glut know's exactly where she is, along with this Sigyn?" Steve asked again.
"Yes," Both Thor and Loki spoke. Then Loki thought of something.
"Yet, there was something a mist between my father and Sigyn's" Loki started to pace back and forth. His chin in his fingers.
"Wait," Thor spoke. "You have seen Sigyn's parents with Father? What was spoken?"
"Yes," Loki pondered back on the scene. "That this was going to happen with Glut. There's something there that needs to be spoken." He looked to Sigyn. "Again, with the silence."
Tony laughed. Loki looked up at him in fury again.
"Microphone off," Tony commanded. He laughed again.
Loki narrowed his gaze. He went back to pondering and talking back to the statue. Some of the Avengers had gotten bored of it. Bruce went to the lab and started to see about the Tesseract. Darcy headed to a guest room. Clint and Natasha went to their bedroom. Steve followed as well. Jane and Thor kept talking as they walked away.
"Oh, come on!" Tony protested. "No one finds this amusing anymore?"
As he said this, Pepper stepped out of the elevator.
"What's amusing?" She smiled. Tony turned around and looked at her with longing.
"Oh, you know, crazy Norse god talking to a statue," Tony got up to greet her with a kiss.
"Thor's here?" She spoke after he kissed her.
"Well, him too," Tony shrugged and rolled his eyes. "Loki came for the statue that landed in the desert."
"He's here!?" She started to panic.
"Don't worry, he's in his cage," Tony put an arm around her. "Besides, we gave him a toy to play with, hence the statue. In the meantime, we should let him alone with his toy and we should go and enjoy this moment in the bedroom. We have several guests."
"I saw that part," Pepper shook her head slightly at him. "This means you can't always be locked away in your lab."
"Well, I still do that," Tony smiled. Pepper smiled at him. The two then left.
Loki at times yelled at the statue. He was on a roller coaster of emotion. Around five in the morning, he finally sat himself against the wall facing her. His arms rested on scrunched up knees. His head bowed in almost defeat. He would whisper to her now again before finally dozing off into slumber.
