What am I? Chapter 10

Luna was a wedding shop with Natasha, Lady Sif, Pepper and Jane as she tried on wedding dresses on. She tried on a ball gown, she glared at the sales lady as she walked to the group. They cringed at the huge dress, she stepped up the extra step getting onto the pedestal, "What do you all think?"

They all shook their head as Luna looked at each other them, Pepper was a business suit with a black a – line skirt with black heels. Jane was wearing some jeans with a faded blue jean jacket with lace up boots. Natasha was wearing blue jeans, a blue button down shirt with a leather brown jacket over it wearing military black boots. Lady Sif, she didn't like the pants, so she wore a flowing skirt with black leggings under it and a tank top with a jacket over it.

Luna trying dresses, some of the real stupid dresses. Luna stepped up after her fifth dress. It was a heart – shaped blossom, straight a – line with a long train or tail. It was off the shoulder that was had some lace that encircled her shoulders as it formed in the back, but dipped low into the heart. It had attached sleeves that buckled around here around the upper part of her arm as she pulled her hair into a fat bun. She looked into the mirror decorated the bodice with crystals, then they spread out to dust over the dress. The women were in amazement as she looked down at the four inch stiletto as she looked at her manicure French tip toenails. She bit her lip as she draped the skirt up to show off the heel that laces up to her thigh.

She dropped the skirt as she turned to them, "I feel like this is the one."

An older saleswoman came over, "Are you saying yes to the dress?"

Luna looked at the mirror over her shoulder, "I am saying yes to the dress."

The girls cheered as they hugged Luna, Jane smiled, "Now it is time for the veil."

Lady Sif laughed, "Loki thought ahead, he wants the veil to involve this piece."

They watched as Lady Sif pulled out a leather covered box out of her satchel, she untied the leather strings as the leather fell back to reveal a silk cloth that nestled a large plain gold band. Luna tilted her head, "I don't understand, Lady Sif. It looks like a plain circle."

Lady Sif held it in the middle of the palms of her hands as she spoke softly, "No matter who is to be King, now this piece is part of a tradition. If a prince is getting married, the prince's bride wears the queen's crown. It transforms to fit the wearer's heart. It reflects the next queen's heart."

Luna kneeled down to reach Lady Sif's level as Lady Sif gently place the gold band around her head, when it started to glow. Luna stood up straight as the band started to get thicker, the base was two inches thick. It had a Celtic design in the base as it forms ridges at the base of Luna's temple where the crown set to form into horns. It dipped in the front, low to cover her widow's peak. The horns were two feet tall, but they were deeply curved into spirals that were loose, but there was no weight to the crown. The glow continued into her hair as she turned her head to have two braids in front of her ears on each side of her head. She turned her head side to side to feel several of small warrior braids that were pulled together with a white leather thong. Then with a shine, the veil began to appear brightly as it burst in the back first from the back of her horns as it uncurled itself until it went past her behind laying against the train. The front part uncurled at the base of her crown, it uncurled itself until it reached the top of her dress.

Pepper and Jane gasped, it started to dim to reveal the complete outfit. Finally, it revealed itself to them. When the sunlight peeked out from behind the clouds hitting the windows, the veil sparkled, so you couldn't see Luna's face as it looked like tiny little glittering crystals were hiding her, the veil's edges were decorated with gems that sparkled in the light like it was dipped in glittering crystals. She looked like a noble queen.

Lady Sif wiped away tears from her eyes, "The crown has revealed you. I thought Loki was lying like usual, when he told us that you have a heart that outshines everyone that it gives others hope."

Natasha nodded as she walked to Luna, "It is now finish."

Luna turned to look at an IPad that was propped up on a table, "Hey, Jarvis. What do you think of it?"

Jarvis showed fireworks shooting into the sky, "You look remarkable, Miss Luna."

"I would have to agree with the talking computer." The women turned swiftly on their heels to look behind them to see two tall men. Luna sighed, as she stood up, "What do you want Jogo, and Alex?"

Jogo rubbed the back of his head as he leaned down to kneel he bowed his head in submission, Alex dropped to his knees as he set his head against the floor, Alex was the one to speak, "Forgive us, sister. By the time, we had awaken. They had disappeared with you, we had been searching ever since you were taken from us, but we had not known you had transformed, until we had meet at the circus those years ago."

Jogo snorted, "We were looking for an adult, but when we saw you again. We saw you as a little kid, we knew that you had an injury that had cause you to shift into a younger age. It is a defense that your body had created for your survival."

Luna was looking at them, they were greatly sorry for these were very prideful men. She slowly stepped off the pedestal, then crouched down to their level, "So, who get to walk me down on my wedding day?"

They jerked their heads up that it looked like whiplash. They smiled as Jogo pointed his thumb at Alex, "He will. He is nearly the same height as you."

Alex snorted as Luna stood up, "That means you have to dress up."

Alex pulled on the labels on his suit, "I always dress up as Jogo says 'Fancy'."

Luna patted his hand, "No, I want you to dress like you."

Alex smiled as he nodded, "The samurai that protects his queen."

Luna rolled her eyes, "Yes, that one, also I want my brother to be true to himself which is what you are, ever since we were able to meet again. You have protected me, even when you could not protect me. Your words kept me going many times."

Alex smiled as Jogo kept himself to the ground, so he didn't destroy anything, Luna clapped her hands, "Okay, now that we have the main dress out of the way. Who is ready for their bridesmaid's dresses?"

The four women looked at one another, Natasha looked at her, "Who's your bridesmaids?"

Luna smiled, "Since I have been saved by you all became friends with you all, I have become close to you all."

Pepper snorted, "Whose Loki best man?"

Luna laughed, "I told him it would be Thor, or he was going to be trouble."

Jane laughed as she grinned, "How did you get him to do that?"

Luna cringed, "I may have accidently turned him mortal one time when I was very angry, during one of our dates due to him using magic on a mortal for tricks, and I wasn't having it. I finally figured out how to change him back. He didn't like being mortal feeling powerless. I made the suggestion, but when he started to throw a fit, I threaten to turn him mortal, if he didn't."

They laughed as Jane wiped the tears away, "Okay, if Thor is going to be his best man, how many groomsmen he is going to have?"

Luna ticked her fingers off, "He is going to have Thor, then Clint, third is Tony, then Bruce, and finally he is having Steve as the last man."

Pepper counted, "That is five men, but you have only four women."

Luna flicked her hand as she smiled, "I asked Anya, she said that she would love to be in it."

The bell above the door ringed as a dark hair woman with red highlights and blond lowlights walked in, she smiled as she looked at Jogo and Alex, "I finally here."

Luna flipped the veil up as the veil flew back, it rained silver crystals flakes in front of Luna as it looked like crystal power that decorated her face as she walked over to Anya. She hugged her friend, "Anya, I am so glad that you were able to make it. Is the rest coming?"

Anya laughed as she turned to the two men, "You didn't tell her."

Luna pulled back, holding Anya's hands, "Tell me what."

Jogo laughed as he smiled, "The entire circus community is coming for this wedding."

Luna blinked, "Good thing I told Tony to plan for a large group."

Anya laughed as the door ringed again, this time Leon walked in with a black suit on, he wore no tie as he had unbuttoned the first two buttons. He wore his silver medallion that Anya had given to him as a show of her faith that she would always come back to him.

Leon looked at Luna as Luna hugged him as he twirled her on the ball of her foot as the dress lit up as a magical dress that could outshine anything. Leon nodded with his French accent, "You are going to be the most breathtaking bride that ever had a wedding."

Luna was starting to tear up, "I am just glad that I have finally found my happiness after all that I have gone through. I may finally know who I am."

Luna inhaled shakily, "Enough of this getting tear up, let me get out of this gown, and have it ready for them to prepare it for the big day. Then let's go find those bridesmaid's dresses."

After she changed back into her clothes as she gently pulled off the crown veil, when it transformed into a simple gold band. Lady Sif had come by, and place it back in its rightful place in the box, then pulled the leather up to cover itself, then tying itself with a leather straps. Luna was zipping the plastic as Pepper came and got the dress, so she would get it out of the way. Luna was pulling on her jeans, and buckling her bra, when she heard the door open and close, she figured it was Natasha, her protection, "Hold up, Natasha. I am almost dressed."

Then she heard the click of a gun, as she slowly turned around to see an older woman maybe in her sixties, she had her hair pulled tight into a bun as she wore a simple jacket and pant. She leveled the gun with Luna's gun, memories of a gun fire, and a loud boom. The woman hissed through clenched teeth, "That shot to the head should have killed you, this time I am not making the same mistake again."

As the woman pulled the trigger back, Luna twisted her bracelet that Tony had given to her with a mini Jarvis, where barely touched she could get help. She gently swiped her thumb across the charm as the woman shook her head, "A monster like you shouldn't exist. The knights have killed all your people. You monsters."

She could hear the running footsteps as the woman glared at her, "Your friends can't help you."

She could hear a door slamming open, as Luna heard her name being called, she looked terrified at the woman. The woman smirked, "We, Knights of the Order, take care of monsters like you."

Luna decided to play dumb, she knew that Jarvis was recording everything, he always seem to record everything when he thought she was in danger. She whispered, "What monsters? There is no such thing as monsters."

The woman snarled, "You, dragons destroyed lives back in the 1th century. No matter where you went, people wore down your stories. Whatever culture there is, there is a symbol of a dragon. You, dragons, have destroyed everything, including my family's name."

The woman laid her finger against the trigger, "Now you will die like rest of the miserable demons."

The trigger was pulled, it seem like everything was slowed down as Luna watched the bullet come closer to her, when something blocked the way. A pair of arms encircled her as the body jolted against her, harsh breathing was panting in her ear. She looked up at her favorite emerald green eyes, she cried whispered, "Loki."

Suddenly the room was filled with loud booms as the woman empty her magazine into Loki. Loki grunted as he glared at the older woman over his shoulder, "You want to see a monster. I will show you a monster."

Loki's body began a green light that spread throughout his body as an eight foot tall reptile, (Like Croc man in Batman the series on WB Kids), as it roared at the woman. The woman slammed another magazine into her gun as she unloaded it into Loki again. He roared as he snapped his jaws making a loud boom as the woman gasped for air as Loki grabbed her around the throat, he sneered at the woman, "Now bitch, do not bother my bride, if you want to have your life? Do you realize who you are looking at?"

The woman growled, "A freak of nature."

Loki chuckled as he growled, "I am Loki, the God of Mischief and Lies. I am a God of Asgard. You worthless mortal have no idea who you are messing with."

The woman started trembling as soon as Loki said god, so they knew who Loki was, then that means that they knew who Thor was. Luna place a hand on his bicep that she could reach, "Loki, you are better than this. Just keep her there while I finish dressing."

Loki growled at the woman as he kept his eyes on the hag as Luna grabbed her tank top, as Loki's tail came into view with her heels. She pulled on her heels, stuffing her straight leg into them. They were three inch black heels that came above her ankle around the edge was covered in leather fringe. She pulled on her black motorcycle jacket on as she looked at Loki. Loki threw the woman into the wall as it cracked underneath. He snorted one last time as her as he transformed back into himself.

Luna held onto him as the world started to swirled around them as the world stopped spinning. They were in Tony's living room at the Avengers Tower, she blinked as she looked at everyone as they started at them. She looked at Loki from top to bottom to see the blood that was making a puddle. Loki was panting as he dropped to his knees, Luna screamed as he pass out in her arms, "LOKI!"

Everything seem like it was moving fast forward as Jane and Pepper helped her get out of the blood soaked clothes. She was worried as she bit her lip, it had been hours since they took Loki to the medical bay in the Tower. She wasted her time as she pulled back on her quiver as she let go of the arrow. She had hit the target five times a row dead in the center every time. She was trying to keep a stiff lip as it quivered as tears were spilling down like waterfalls down a stream.

She didn't know what to do, Loki should have been able to heal those wounds, but he kept bleeding. Luna was scared for his life, she pulled the final arrow as she blinked a tear away, as she inhaled as she pulled back. She let it fly as it started to feel like she was in slow motion, when someone spoke in her mind, "Remember water is life. We need water to drink, it is also a part of our body. Water can also heal, its strongest ability to heal people is on a full moon."

Then everything speeded up as she ran up the stairs with her bow as she ran nearly into Jane, grabbing her shoulders, Luna quickly spoke, "Is there a full moon tonight?"

Jane nodded, "Yeah, it's at its peak right now, and brightest."

Luna ran to the medical bay as Bruce was finishing bandaging the second set of bandages, running to his side, she looked at Bruce, "I need your help."

Bruce looked at the determination in her eyes, "Okay, what do you got plan?"

Luna smiled as she explained the situation as Bruce called for Tony's help as they transport Loki's injured body to the floor where the pool had no chlorine in it. Tony was dressing Loki into some trunks as Luna walked into the water after taking off her tennis shoes. She took off her jacket, wearing only her blue jeans, and tank top. She was at the two feet end as she walked toward Bruce who was at the four feet mark. She turned to Bruce, "I need the Hulk's help."

Bruce stammered, "I … I don't think that is a good idea."

Luna looked past Bruce, she whispered as she looked at Mr. Green, "Please I need your help."

Mr. Green nodded as Luna looked back at Bruce, "Don't worry, I am here. Nothing will happen, no one will get hurt."

Bruce nodded as he unbuttoned his shirt as he tossed it away, he roared as his body started to shift, Hulk roared as he moved closer to Luna. Hulk panted, "Friend need help."

Luna smiled, "I need to heal Loki."

Hulk turned to Loki that Tony was at Loki's side ready to block the Hulk's path, "Puny god hurt. Who hurt my friend's puny god?"

Luna let out a laughed that was started to sound like she was trying to hold in the laughter, "I will tell you after I helped Loki, okay?"

Hulk nodded as he gentle walked up Loki, he picked Tony up by the back of his shirt, Hulk smiled as Tony stared him in amazement, as he smiled and waved, "Hello, Hulk. How have you been doing?"

Hulk smiled, "Good friend. Me glad, have friends. You, Hulk's friend."

Tony smiled, "That's good, but could you put me down, my shirt is starting to cut off some of my air."

Hulk put him down on his feet gently as Hulk turned to the barely breathing Loki as he gently scooped Loki's bruised body. Tony watched as Hulk gently laid Loki in the water, Luna walked to Loki as she saw the moon started to shine on them. Tony watched as the Hulk stepped back, he stroked his beard, "Hulk, why didn't you hurt Loki?"

Hulk looked at Tony, "Puny god important. Friend love puny god. Special love."

Tony nodded his head, "Yeah, it is."

They watched as the water started from clear to glowing blue as Luna started rising out of the water as she walked on the water as she twist her hands, and the water followed her command. She laid the glowing blue water hands on top of Loki's wounds as she saw the wounds were closing. She was watching the moon, it was moving. She needed its strength to heal Loki. Finally the wounds were healed as Luna floated back into the water. Suddenly Loki's body jerked as he opened his eyes, and inhaled a breath. He started coughing as he turned his body to stand in the water, Hulk walked to the low side, "Puny god okay?"

Loki jerked back as he looked at the Hulk, he looked back at Luna, "He speaks."

Luna nodded as she looked toward Hulk, "Hulk can speak, but only in broken English. He is smart."

Hulk smiled as his body started to shrink, as he started to collapse, Tony was nearby to catch the naked Bruce as he chuckled, "I am so going to tease him."

Luna helped Loki out of the water as she helped to a chair as he wrapped an arm around his body, "I hate that when they shoot bullets, but I don't understand my wounds should have healed."

Luna sighed, "I think people are using spells to hurt you."

Loki thumped his head against the chair, "How wonderful."

Luna looked up at the moon as she began to question why was there a voice in her head that told her what to do. She was worried for the future.

What am I?
