"So you couldn't figure it out," Blaze stood where she'd said she be, dressed in the same clothes and with the same crooked smile on her face, "Wait until I tell Surtur that! He'll be so proud of me."
"Tell me how to undo the curse," he flicked a knife into his hand, pointing it at her, "While you're at it, give me a good reason why I shouldn't torture it out of you."
"Because I just called the police," she smirked, "They'll be here in five minutes or so, since the traffic is good."
"Why would you do that?"
"Because I knew you'd try and cut off a few of my digits to get me to tell you and I rather like my fingers and toes," she wiggled her fingers at him, "So here's what's going to happen: when you get to Sokovia - and you will get yourself and your righteous friends there - I'll find you. Don't go in the base if you can help it, it'll be much easier to spot you in the woods. You are a flashy one, princey. Once I find you, I'll give you some instructions and offer you a deal. If you accept the deal and do what I say then I'll give you the cure for the curse and wittle Maisy-Waisy won't have her bad dreams anymore."
"What's to stop me from kidnapping you now and forcing you to break the spell anyway?" Loki asked.
"I may or may not have rigged the little laundress' school to blow up," Blaze smiled with all of her teeth showing, "So if you kidnap me now then in twenty minutes Linnea and a whole bunch of pimply teens go boom."
Loki hated how prepared she was, but he nodded.
"Very well, my little reject," he smiled back at her, knowing he was touching on a sore subject by calling her a reject, "I shall see you in Sokovia."
He moved quickly, not wanting to be anywhere near the police when they showed up. He could already hear the sirens. Besides, he wanted to remove Linn from school just in case Blaze got bored and blew the place up for fun. Perhaps he ought to warn the school that this was a possibility as well. Or he could get Thor to do it. Everyone always listened to Thor.
He dialed his brother's number as he rushed to the school. While he jogged, he thought of all of the ways he could make Surtur's lieutenant die a painful death once she'd made her deal with him in Sokovia.
A note from the author: Hi ya! Don't worry, I'm going to post another chapter right after this one since this one is so short.
Thank you so much for reading/following/favoriting!
Special thanks to the awesome people who reviewed:
QueenBookDragon: *nervously steps away from PFoD and locks myself in a reader-proof room* Now why would you think that? Ha, ha, ha... There's nothing to worry about! ;)
Ninja Squirrel: When I've finished posting all the chapters for this story one of the oneshots that I have for you guys is all about Blaze... she's still kind of a big flaming doody-head in it, but, well, you'll see when we get there. I had an absurd amount of fun writing it so I hope y'all enjoy it when I post it. :D
Phoenix86710: A deal blow up in Loki's face? A deal with Blaze? Psshaw! How could that possibly go wrong? ;)
Dragoncat: I know right? You think he'd have learned his lesson by now!
You guys are the best! I'm going to post the next chapter a few minutes after I get this one posted. Hopefully it won't get screwed up or anything. Fanfiction has a nasty habit of screwing up my chapters when I post them within the same hour of each other. We'll see what happens!
