He walked towards the source of the sound. Chains probably meant that it was a prisoner and not a chitauri.
Maybe it was Thor. That would be lucky if he could find Thor in such a short time.
A few twists and turns later, and he reached a cell. The keys were handed only a short distance away, but definitely out of reach of the prisoner, perhaps to serve as a taunt.
Loki wondered if he should go in. He should be able to fight off whatever was in there, so he took the keys.
Unlocking the door, he stepped in slowly. It was dark, like each of the other cells and showed no sign of holding anyone.
Maybe the person staying here was no longer... Around. Too bad then, Thor must be somewhere else..
It's not like they would put him so close.
He turned to leave, but a shadow in the corner caught his eye.
He turned but didn't have time to block the hit. Something hard was knocked into his head.
He fell backwards onto the floor with a cry of shock. A child, judging by the size of the figure darted towards him with a speed and agility he'd only seen in one person before.
The child tried to run, but Loki stretched out a hand to grab him before he could escape through the opened door.
Holding him up, he raised an eyebrow. This was a young boy with silvery hair and bright orange eyes holding a pole.
The boy trembled in fear, "Who are you? Am I going to die? Can I see Tori once first?"
And with that, Loki realised he'd found Luna's, or maybe Victoria's brother.
"Relax, I'm not here to kill you." He promised.
"Who are you?" The boy seemed more relaxed now, though he still cowered away from his touch.
"I'm... a friend. Follow me."
The boy crossed his arms across his chest, "My sister told me specifically not to follow suspicious strangers."
"You really sound like her."
His eyes lit up, "You know my sister?"
Loki nodded.
"Cool. Then I'll follow you."
"You make it easy for anyone to trick you, you know? All they need to do is to say they know your sister. Anyway, I'm Loki. And I actually do know your sister."
The kid grinned, "Oh, I know you. You're the idiot Tori said killed our mom."
"Sort of, yes."
"Can you really find my sister?"
"I don't know exactly where she is, but... we can try to find her, okay?"
Thor sat on the stone floor, debating whether to trust Luna or not.
If what she said was true, then... He noticed Luna holding a knife, "What are you doing?"
Luna looked at him for a moment, before laughing, "I'm not going to hurt you. Just hold still for a moment."
Thor relaxed as Luna lock picked the lock on the cell door. "I have to do this since I don't have the keys." She explained.
"Why are you letting me go?" Thor inquired.
"I've made up my mind. I'll free you and Loki, then I'll escape with my brother."
"What about the thumb drive you told me about?"
"There is no thumb drive."
"What?"
She smiled, "I figured a long time ago. It was just a lie. I was just too blinded by my want for revenge that I did all this. I'll save my brother on my own. Let's go."
Thor stepped from the room and stretched, feeling the ache from sitting down long. "Ok. I think I believe you. What do we do now?"
Luna tapped a finger to her chin thoughtfully, "Hmm, I guess we-"
She was interrupt by incoming footsteps. She quickly pushed Thor into a large cell and closed the door.
The pair held their breath as the foot steps got closer and closer.
