Hi again, me the Ghost. Well kind of happy with this chapter. Thought it would be nice to focus a bit more on Cara in this chapter, and to see more things from her perspective. So I hope you guys enjoys it too.

I also saw that I got some new followers and that made me really happy, so thanks a lot!

So have fun reading :)

Cara tried not to panic, because to be honest it would be of no help, and ridicules, Loki could have called on her for anything. Maybe he just wanted more food, some company or maybe he wanted to leave. It could be anything, but she had a feeling that Loki wouldn't call on her for such minor things, no she felt that it was something else.

"Jarvis can you see if Loki needs anything?" She asked while she rode the elevator.
"To be honest I can't see anything in his room Lady Cara," Jarvis answered her and she was surprised.
"You can't?"
"I can't. It may be due to Loki's magic, I am not created to handle it," Jarvis said and she understood that he was just trying to calm her down. The fact may be true, but she still had her doubts.

Cara left the elevator as soon as the doors opened and wanted to run to Loki's room, but she knew that it may just scare him even more. Instead she forced herself walking calmly towards it. And when she got closer she could her Loki's voice, and it sounded like he was in pain. Her first thought was he had a nightmare, and that may be the reason he called for her. That made her at ease first. Nightmares was natural and whatever Loki need to do to get over them she would help him do. But when she got closer she could hear a second voice, a voice belonging to another male. She couldn't hear any words, or who the voice belonged to. But as she got closer she could hear the moans loud and clear, and she knew what was going on.

When Cara reached the door, she slowly touched the knob, careful to not make any sounds. She wanted to act faster, but her teachers had taught her many years ago, that rushing into things wouldn't help. The key to act fast was that you didn't acted too fast, because then you made mistakes. She felt that the door wasn't locked, so she carefully opened it, silently stepping inside.

What she saw in front of her was all too familiar, because she had been situation herself far too many times. Loki was standing on all four in his bed, stripped by his clothes, and looking at the clothes on the floor, it hadn't been in a gentle way. Behind him, holding a firm grip on Loki's hip with one hand, and the other one holding his hair, forcing his head back, was a man. The other man violently throwing into Loki from behind, not caring how much it hurt him. The blond man was making loud groans while doing it.

"You are always my good boy Loki," the man said and that voice had Cara reacting, she knew that voice, she had met this person before, and she had already hated him back then. The glances he had given Loki in Asguard had made her sick. The man always looked at Loki like he owned him, and that he should have Loki no matter what.

Loki had told her that the man had flirted with him for years, always with the goal to get him into bed. Loki, no interested in the man had always declined, a bit confused to his approaches, and after all those years almost seeing them as a joke. The man had been very furious when Loki had chosen her instead of him, and he had sworn to have Loki one day, and it looked like Odin made it possible. Cara stood there angrily for a short moment before she calmed herself, telling herself to act in anger would scare Loki more.

"Hello Fandral," Cara said in a very unfriendly but calm voice. Almost to calm. The man stopped half way into Loki again, and looked at her with surprise. When he stood there perfectly still, Cara stepped forward and threw Fandral to the floor. The warrior tried to grasp the situation.
"Cara," he finally said when she took another step in his direction. "How lovely to see you."
She smiled at him, a smile that made Fandral swallow, and become really nervous.

"Wish I could say the same," she said and revealed a knife in her hand.
"I was just…just," he stuttered when she stopped in front of him.
"You know, I remember a talk we had a few years ago, do you?" She asked and at first Fandral didn't remember. "I said to you, that if you ever got near Loki in any way he didn't want to, and especially if you touched him in a way he didn't liked, I would castrate you."
Fandral's eyes widened in fear, he remembered.

"I am a woman of my words," she looked at the knife in her hand, with her other hand she tied him down with magic. "I am no expert at this, so it may become very messy, but I will not care about that."
"Please….Please don't," Fandral said and she gave him an look.
"I think I prefer that you can't talk during the operation. Not only for my sake, but also for Loki's," she said and snapped her fingers and Fandral become mute, before she leaned forward with the knife.

When she was done, making sure she took her time she left him on the floor, after assuring that he wouldn't bleed out. She didn't want him to get away from the pain or die. She then turned her eyes towards Loki who sat in the corner of the bed with a blanket around him, trying to get as far away from them both. Cara kneeled down on the floor, in front the bed, but not to close to it.

"Loki?" Her voice was soft and he looked at her with scared eyes. "I am sorry that you needed to see me like this."
Loki didn't say anything, and there was really nothing for him to say.
"But I want you to know that I will always be there to protect you, at least as long as you want me to," Loki slowly nodded and she smiled happily. She then slowly stood up.

"I am going to need to call the others, they need to get Fandral," she explained and Loki looked at her with scared eyes. "They are not going to touch you in anyway. No one is! But I need their help. Do you understand?"
Loki just gave her a frighten look and she thought for a second, she understood why, he wasn't comfortable with a lot of people around, and she was surprised he even could look at her. But maybe he knew who she was and that she would never hurt him, she could at least hope.

"Would it make you more comfortable if they couldn't see you?" She asked and he nodded right away and she smiled. "I can make you invisible for them, I can still see you so if you want to show me something I will know. If you are alright with that?"
Loki seemed to think about it but then nodded in agreement. Cara first thought about casting a spell on Loki, but then she thought that it may be unwise, not knowing what they had done to him, and if it would cause him any pain.
"Can I have the orb for a short time?" She asked and he carefully handled it over to her. "Thank you."

Cara let it fly above her hand as the red magic entered it, and she thought she saw a flash of curiosity in Loki's eyes before it disappeared. When she was done she handled it back to Loki.
"You can now turn invisible for other people, except me, just by holding the orb and wishing for it to happen," she said and Loki hold the orb and guessed he tried it. "I am now going to talk to Jarvis, he is a system that exist in every room, but he isn't a person. Thought I would tell you so you wouldn't be scared."
Loki gave her an unsure look but she just smiled before turning to the celling.

"Jarvis?"
"Yes Lady Cara?" Jarvis answered.
"Can you call the others and ask them to get here?" She asked, not really sure towards the AI could do.
"Already have, they should be on their way, as soon as they agree on going," he said and she nodded.
"They are all coming?"
"Looks that way, they are all stepping inside the elevator now," he informed her.
"That's great, thank you," she said and was just about to turn to Loki again when she thought of something.

"Tell them that Thor can't come in here. He will just make it worse!" She looked at Thor's friend, knowing that the situation would turn south as soon as he would see him. "Can you ask if Natasha would do me the favor of getting in here, feeling that she, as a woman wouldn't be as threatening."
"Have you met miss Romanova?" Jarvis asked her and she smiled.
"I have, and even if she seems to be a well skilled agent and I would guess scary person, she is still a woman and that would in this situation be better."
"Well then I will tell them what you wishes," Jarvis said and Cara nodded then waiting for the other to get there.

Cara could hear Thor complain as soon as the doors open.
"Why would she forbid me of going there? To my brother!" Thor said angrily. Forbid? Cara looked up at the celling questioning Jarvis but didn't say anything about it.
"Thor!" Steve raised his voice. "You are going to scare your brother storming in there and screaming."
"But he is my brother, if something happened I need to be there!"
"Like you have the past year?" Tony asked sarcastically, but Cara understood it was meant as a distraction, and it worked, judging from the anger coming from Thor, she thought when Natasha actually walked through the door.

"I am glad that you agreed, and I do apologise for making you do this," she politely stated and Natasha looked around in the room, and then at her for answers. "Loki is here, don't worry, you can't just see him. It made him feel better. And the man here, well let's say I just fulfilled a promise I made him years ago."
"Lucky man," she sarcastically said and Cara smiled.
"He is lucky to be alive after what I saw him do," Cara said.
"I figure I don't want to know the details."

"No, for your sake, my sake and especially for Loki's sake I will spare you the details. However, my guess was that you guys have an interrogation room where I can put him for now?"
"We do", Natasha informed her.
"Then can you please take him there and I will talk to him when I am done here. And please do not let him meet Thor, they are old friends," she explained and Natasha nodded.
"I will see what I can do," she left the room with the man. Cara could still hear the others when she closed the door and then sat on the floor once more.

Cara waited for Loki to calm down enough to not shiver anymore before she said anything. She didn't know what had triggered it, it could have been seeing Natasha, hearing the others scream or just seeing Fandral. When he was a bit calmer she started talking.
"Do you want to clean yourself?" She asked and Loki nodded. "Do you prefer a bath? A shower or just a bowl and cloth?"
Cara studied him when she gave him the options and when he had shaken his head when she had mention both bath and bowl she guessed that shower was what he wanted.
"Then let's find a one," she stood up, and Loki did the same, very unsure on following her. "If it makes you feel better you can go to find one on your own".
At that option Loki just shake his head frantically and she guessed he was too scared to go by himself, she didn't comment it, just opened the door and the stepped out of the room.

Finding a bathroom had been very easy with the help from Jarvis, and she had thanked him for his help.
"It's always a pleasure, and it's nice to be thanked for once," he had said and she had just laughed a warm laugh, guessing that Tony didn't thank Jarvis too often.
"I will wait outside," at those words Loki looked down at the blanket and she then smiled and casted a spell that made different pairs of clothes appear to him to choose from. Loki took a very lose pair of trousers and a big shirt with him.

She then sat down on the floor, taking some deep breaths, her feelings finally catching up with her. Seeing Loki like that had not only brought up painfully memories, it had also broken her heart. She hated seeing him hurt like that. If she ever saw Odin she would kill him! If she had been less mad she had known that it was a suicide mission, but right now she was to mad think about that.

How could he let people hurt his son like that, adopted or not! But she knew, she knew that Odin was an arse, to put it very mildly, she had never liked him. She had never understood why Odin had more or less hated Loki as much as he did. Sure her relationship with her father hadn't been good, and her father had done to her more or less what Odin had done to Loki, and that may be why she understood so well what he went through.

But her father had never been a nice man, being the murderer he had been. But Odin was supposed to be the good guy, and he treated Thor so differently. You couldn't treat your kids that differently. She felt the tears start falling and she wiped them away. Loki could be out any minute and she couldn't let him see her like this. She repressed all her feelings and thoughts about the situation and instead she focused about the stars, something that always made her calm and happy.

When Loki was done in the bathroom, a few hours later, his skin was read, his eyes too and he tried to hide his pain from her. She followed him back to his room and closed the door behind them and looked as he stumbled towards bed.
"You don't need to hide your pain from me Loki. I will not think less from you," She softly said. "I know the feeling, and the pain. I will not force you to show it to me or talk about it. I will just let your know that if you want to talk about it, or wish for me to heal some of your wounds, I am here."

Cara knew that he wouldn't want to talk about it now, if ever. But she wanted him to know that he could if he wanted. And she really wanted him to know that she didn't think less of him. None of this was his fault. But Loki didn't answer her and she hadn't expected either. She was about to walk towards the door to give him some space when he grabbed her arm very fast, before he let go of her. She looked at him with a sweet smile.

"Do you wish for me to stay?" She asked and he nodded. "Then I will stay. I will sit by the door and make sure no one get in here."
Loki laid down in the bed, curling into the blankets and she studied him while she sat herself comfortable at the floor, making sure she would stand guard while Loki tried to get some sleep, hoping that it would make him feel a bit safer.

"Where is she?" Thor asked the others as he was pacing back and forth over the floor. "Why hasn't she got here and tell me what happened?"
"Lady Cara is still in Loki's room. My guess is that she will remain there for the rest of the night," Jarvis answered.
"But why?" Thor said. "What happened to my brother?"

The others didn't say anything, mostly because they was unsure to what they would say. They weren't aware of what had happened, they could all guess, Natasha being the one that would get closest, seeing the man Cara told her to lock up for now. But they didn't know how far he had gotten.
"I don't think you want to know," Steve said and the other concurred that.
"Then who was he?" Thor said looking at Natasha.
"Don't know. Cara just told me to lock him up until she could talk to him."
"I can talk to him," Thor said.
"She wanted to do it herself, and if I was you I wouldn't step in between, not after seeing what she did to the last guy." Natasha said.

"What did she do?" Clint asked.
"She castrated him," she said and all the guys became really uncomfortable, knowing that it was something that none of them wanted to ever experience.
"Why? Why would anyone do something so horrible?" Tony said.
"She said something but a promise," Natasha only answered and Thor looked at her. Those words made him remember something, or rather a fragment of something. He was sure he knew someone saying those words, or rather that someone had said that someone had said those words. Thinking about it made Thor confused, but he was sure that he knew something about it, just not what.

"So what are we going to do about the guy she captured?" Clint said.
"Not much we can do. We can't turn him over to the police because they will ask questions, and so will Fury. Guess all we can do is keep him unlocked until Cara talks to him," Steve said.
"Is this going to be a normal thing? People coming here to…um visit Loki?" Tony was not really sure how to phrase it, not wanting Thor to try to kill him again, but the god seemed to be occupied by something else, that Tony guessed was thinking, just looking at his face. "And Cara stopping them, and asking us to clean up?"

"She didn't ask us to clean up. She asked us to take care of one guy," Steve said. "And if she did what she did to him, maybe it's for the best that we took care of him."
"She will still have her go with him. Trust me, I saw the hate in her eyes," Natasha said, leaning back and against Clint's legs.
"Shall we let her? I don't want to get rid of a dead body," Steve asked.
"I thought you supported her, sounded like it yesterday," Tony said.
"I support her trying to help her friend, or what Loki now may be to her, I do not support her in killing someone!" Steve made himself clear.

"I will not step between her and the guy. I choose my life over some lowlife rapist life," Clint said.
"No matter who he is, we can't just standby as he gets killed," Steve said. "It's not right!"
"If we, or rather you don't standby, we may need to standby as you gets killed," Clint said and gave Steve an serious look and the others didn't say anything.

"Did the man who attacked my brother have blond hair?" Thor suddenly asked and they all looked at him.
"What?" Tony asked.
"Natasha, did the man have blond hair?" Thor said once more.
"Why do you want to know?" She asked and Thor cursed, taking that as an yes.

"Fandral" Thor said in a dangerously low voice, a voice that none of the others had heard, and they could all feel the anger from Thor. "I am going to kill you!"
With those words Thor started walking towards the room where his friend, or rather former friend was being held up. And as he did, he forced the others to run after him, not knowing what would happen.
