Luna cursed herself over and over in her head. How could she have been so stupid as to let it slip?
She'd been hiding it so well for so long and now she'd ruined it in just a few second.
She looked at Thor. Would he say anything?
He did have a weird expression on his face, although he was keeping his mouth shut.
Thor sighed and waved a hand as if to say 'let's just get this over and done with and we'll talk later'. Luna nodded, having no other choice and followed after him.
Loki watched the chitauri in charge of guarding him and tried to think of how to escape. He only been caught because he'd been spacing out.
But then again he really did want to know what was Luna talking about. He wondered why Luna was so sensitive when to came to her brother.
She said he was alive, so why was she worried? In any case, he'd better escape first.
He shuddered to think of what would happen to him if he was successfully brought back.
He knew the chitauri had not taken well to his failure. Had he not been so careless, he wouldn't be here now.
He struggled and twisted to find a way to escape, while the chitauri eyed him suspiciously. Reluctantly, he stopped moving around and forced his mind to stay calm.
The chitauri stepped towards him and raised its weapon, but collapsed before it even reached him.
The tension loosened when he saw Luna walked to him holding her broom with Thor. He'd never been more glad to see the both of them safe. Even Thor.
Suddenly, there was a lurch and a bump and both Luna and Thor lost their balance and fell to the side. "We've reached!" Thor noted, "We have to free Loki then get off this before they start swarming in. We have to leave now."
Thor knelt by Loki's side to untie him, but there was a loud shot ringing out in the air before he dropped unconscious on the floor. Luna held a gun Loki had never seen before behind Thor, arms trembling and her stance unsteady, immeasurable heart wrenching grief in her gaze.
"Luna! What are you doing?" Loki exclaimed in alarm.
She looked to him with eyes filled with sadness and brimming with tears, "I'm so sorry. But you won't be leaving here today, tomorrow, or likely anytime soon."
Sorry today's chapter is a whole lot shorter then my normal chapters but I wanted the suspense and decided here is the best place to end it. Well, I'll try to post a slightly longer one tomorrow, so please bear with me since I think this is the best point to end for now.
