Harmonia

Chapter 9

I awoke on a hard bed in a bright white room. My tunic had been changed for a tight blue all in one piece that fitted nicely. I swung my legs off the bed and steadied myself as the room slightly spun. There was a looking glass to the left of me and I regarded myself inside it. My hair was a mess so I thought of the style I wanted, clicked my fingers and my mahogany hair that had since lost its natural curl from when I was a young girl was plaited to the side. Since when had I aged so much?

A knock at the door announced that someone else was present. I turned around to seen a woman with red curly hair, in an orange top and black trousers. "Good evening Harmonia"

"Who are you, what is this place?" said I, a little frustrated.

"This is SHEILD, and my name is Natasha Romanoff. We need your help Harmonia"

"Yes so I hear. But why me?" Said I, bluffing.

"We know about your singular relationship with Loki. We are currently trying to find him. He has taken something from us." She led me out into a huge room with many windows at one end. It was dark outside but inside it was well lit. Many Midgardians were seated around flat screens all displaying Loki's face. They were searching for him. Standing on a platform with two screens either side of him was a tall man, with dark skin and dark clothes. He turned when Natasha said " Director, she is awake"

He looked at me with one eye as the other was covered with a black eye patch. "Miss Harmonia, glad you could join us, my name's Nick Fury" said he "we hear you can help us find Loki"

"Yes, so Thor tells you apparently. Where is he, I should like to speak with him"

"Ah yes, actually. That information did not come from Thor, We haven't seen him since he was last on Earth. It was more of a wild guess. We had discovered that an Asgardian had found her way onto Andalasia the same time as we discovered the planet itself. We hoped you may have some relationship with Loki and from your reaction it appears you do"

"We had relations yes this is true" I admitted "but why you think I could persuade him to to give back what he has taken from you is laughable"

"No harm in trying though"

Suddenly a male midguardian said "We got a hit! 67% match, cross check 79%"

"Location?" asked another male

"Germany, he's not exactly hiding" answered the first male.

Fury looked at a Blond male, dressed differently to the others. "Captain, you're up. Take Harmonia here with you. She may be able to help"

On the way to our transportation the Captain introduced himself to me, He said his name was Steve Rodgers or Captain America. I gave my name to him and he shook my hand. A custom I didn't really understand.

Before we reached a door that would lead to flying machine called a helicopter we were taken to separate rooms to change. I was given a dark green backless dress that simmered in the light. It was beautiful, I hadn't worn anything like it for a long time. When my attendant left the room for a moment to magicked my hair into a sophisticated up-do and applied the make-up that was given to me. She had explained what each of the cosmetics were for so I had a vague idea what to do.

Once finished I stepped through the other door and found myself in the helicopter. Captain Rodger was already sitting down, dressed now in a tight outfit that was blue, a round red and white and blue shield with a white star in the middle was by his side. He noticed my entrance and stood for me.

"Wow, you look amazing. What exactly is your relationship to this Loki?"

"Wouldn't you like to know" I smirked as I sat down.

As we began out journey, Fury's voice spoke in the helicopter "Harmonia, we will send you in first. Find Loki, reason with him. If things start to look bad, Captain, that where you come in"

"Understood Sir" answered the Captain

It took us a few moments to reach the place called Germany, and all through the journey I kept silent, my stomach in knots

We landed a fair way from the building Loki was apparently in and I was driven to the front door by a horseless carriage called a car. A male Midgardian held out his hand form me and helped me out of the car. I walked into a vast room with many men and women all dressed like me in dresses and suits. There was music playing which was beautiful, I was offered a golden drink in a tall glass which I took. It tastes bitter and bubbly but was pleasant. "Don't let it go to your head" came Natasha's voice in my ear, for I was wearing an earpiece that allowed communication between herself and me. I smiled at her comment and set about trying to find Loki.

Sometime had past and I still had not located my former lover, I had drunk a few of the golden glasses and my head felt a little light and airy.

A man was addressing the crowd, his voice magically enhanced by the black thing in front of him so we could all hear him, no matter where you stood or what the musicians played.

All of a sudden I saw him. Up on the second level, there was Loki. Striding along in a Black suit, with a green scarf placed round his shoulders. His hair had grown considerably and was sleeked back off his face but fell to his shoulders. He looked sick but was still handsome, still my Loki. My heart was racing as he almost jogged down the stairs in front of me, a golden cane in his hand that glowed blue at the tip.

He tosed it once in his hand and whacked the security guard next to him. I was astounded, and a little turned on at the violence displayed by him. He then grabbed an older Midgardian and dragged him over to a table. He flipped him over so the old man lay on his back and produced a sliver instrument, hovered it over the man's eye for a second then slammed it down onto him. The man screamed, causing others to shout and scream and flee away from him.

Loki just grinned mischievously, proud of the chaos that had ensued. This was not my Loki. "We've got a situation" said I to Natasha.

"Don't worry, The Captain is on his way, get yourself outside"

I nodded, and hurried with the crowd, tears in my eyes.

I was outside and I stood with the rest of them, shivering in the cold. I looked back and there was Loki again, following us now in his amour, all in glorious green and gold. His horned helmet on his head. I watched as he aimed his glowing staff at an oncoming vehicle making it topple over. People ran but every time they thought they had go away another apparition of Loki appeared to stop them. He had been practising as well. "Kneel before me! I said kneel!" Commanded Loki. I found myself falling to my knees.

I watched him as he made his way through the crowd. Oh how I wanted to stand up and announce that I was still alive. I was sure now that it was the thought that he had lost me that had driven him insane. "Is not this better? Is this not your natural state? It's the unspoken truth of humanity, that you crave subjugation. The bright lure of freedom diminishes your life's joy in a mad scramble for power, for identity. You were made to be ruled. In the end, you will always kneel."

An old man stood up and faced him, my heart began to beat again faster and faster " not to men like you."

Loki smiled at him " there are no men like me."

"There are always men like you."

"Look to your elder, people. Let him be an example."

Loki aimed a blue blast of power at the Midgardian but Captain American leapt in front of the old man and deflected it with his shield sending it to Loki knocking him down.

Captain American then said "you know, the last time I was in Germany and saw a man standing above everybody else, we ended up disagreeing."

Loki sneered "The soldier. A man out of time."

"I'm not the one who's out of time."

I then took my chance, if I wasn't going to make myself known now, they would forget about me.

"Loki! Stop this now!" I said commandingly standing up to my full height, plus a little extra with the heels.

Loki looked towards me and his face fell in surprise "Harmonia! No this is a trick. You are dead"

"As are you meant to be my love" said I picking my way through the Midguardians until I was in touching distance of Loki. My body ached for him to hold me once again. "Come with us, my love. We can help"

"My Love, I guess we can guess how they know each other." Said the metal man who had just joined us.

"Mr Stark" addressed Captain America

"Cap'in" said the metal man.

A whole team of SHIELD agents surrounded us, all pointing their metal weapons at Loki. They escorted him into the additional helicopter and strapped him in. The Captain and the Metal Man went in the additional helicopter and I was escorted in the other one. It was clear to me that they wanted to keep Loki and myself apart for as long as possible.
