Don't go away
Chapter Two – Awkward situations
OK – yes, this is another chapter, but, only because I already had it written out, and thought I might as well post it up. :D Thank you for the reviews and encouragement! It actually would be good to have a little help, as am struggling with writers block etc. at the mo - Inbox me if you would like to help!
Still am unsure of whether to carry on with this. I will most likely finish this and then give up writing – As I have no time to write any more -_-
Again, Thank you to the people who reviewed! Enjoy this chapter :D
I'd say this chapter should be 'T' rated, but rating may go up in a few chapters time.
Scarlett walks over to her car, which happens to be a Silver BMW Z4; she dumps her rucksack in the tiny boot and continues to heave herself into the driver's seat. She watches as Loki places himself beside her, spear still clenched tightly in his hand.
Scarlett reaches over, "Here, why don't we put that….."But she doesn't get to finish her sentence as he flinches away from her, taking his spear out of reach. "Ok….Or you could just hang onto it…." Scarlett mutters.
She starts the car and glances at the time, 10:30pm, looks like they'll be driving through the night then.
~0~0~0~0~
It's been a good 4 hours since the odd pair set off, and so far, Loki has said exactly 9 words to her, most of them being "My body is weak, I require sustenance" and the other, being the simple "Feed me" That she got at around midnight, making a total of 9 words that he's said to her.
They'd stopped off at McDonald's just after midnight; they sat in complete silence, stuffing down a big mac and fries before heading back out on the open road once again.
It's now 2.30 in the morning, Scarlett's eyes droop as her hands clench tight on the wheel. She glances to her side. Loki's head leans against the window, entranced in sleep. His head lolls to the side, his forehead smudged against the window, his dark almost shoulder length hair in a tangled mess. His mouth hangs open, his tongue hanging slightly out and a trickle of dribble running down his chin. Scarlett chuckles to herself, he can't possibly be comfortable like that.
Scarlett turns back to the wheel, still giggling softly.
"Something funny?" A husky voice enquires; it's enough to make the young girl jump though.
"No…No, just thinking that we should probably stop somewhere for the night" Scarlett explains, she raises her hand up, and brushes a strand of brown curly hair behind her ear. Scarlett's hair, also came down to her shoulders, and is untameable and curly, with uncontrollable ringlets that you can't straighten.
Loki grunts, obviously not impressed by the mentioned stop to their journey. "If we must" he states, his jaw clenched and locked tight. Scarlett fights back another giggle at the grumpy 'god' and pulls into the nearest motel (AN - I live in England so it's B&B or hotel to me but seeing as this story is set in America then I thought motel will fit better)
It's a strange sight to see as a man dressed mainly in green and a girl with red puffy eyes and said untameable hair strides in through the motel's entrance, well, it makes a difference from the usual drug addicts and prostitutes that this motel is obviously used to.
The pair walk up to the reception desk, where a boy no older than 19 sits behind with headphones on.
"Excuse me? We need a room for the night" Scarlett enquires.
The receptionist looks up, and just nods.
"Uhh….Twin room?" Scarlett asks, thinking that it would be cheaper than two separate rooms.
The receptionist, who has a badge on with the name 'Carl' on, types away at his computer, "Sorry, all sold out, we only have doubles left" He mumbles, whilst sticking a finger in his ear, twisting it around, and then yanking it out with a ungodly amount of earwax on, he continues onto examine his findings and suck it off his finger. Scarlett and especially Loki watch this display with disgusted faces, although Loki has more of a 'Give us a room or I'll rip your throat out with my bare hands' kind of look.
"Umm…Yeh, double will do" she mutters, whilst pulling a face at the thought of having to sleep in the same bed as this rude….Creature.
Scarlett pays, takes her room key and heads to the lift. And it's not long before they stop outside room number 23; she unlocks it, and walks in, a slow, dawdling obviously stalling Loki in tow.
The room certainly isn't a 5 star hotel; with stains covering half the white carpet and dust lingering everywhere you can't exactly call it cosy or welcoming either. Scarlett scans the room for a sofa (couch) but with no luck, she drops her rucksack on 'her' side of the bed.
~0~0~0~0~
Loki sighs as he stalks into the shabby room behind Scarlett; he glances over the room, with torn curtains and obviously dirty bed sheets this room isn't exactly fit for a soon-to-be king like Loki. Loki also notices that this bedroom only has one bed, he grunts at this, seeing as he is going to be ruler of this realm, he should have the bed, and this stupid mortal should happily let him have it!
Loki sighs again as he notices how tired and exhausted the girl looks as she drops her rucksack on the bed, her eyes are red and puffy and her hair is a tangled mess, black bags hang under her eyes, giving away how tired she is. Loki sighs again, this maiden has agreed to drive him all the way to New York, and the least he can do is be a gentleman and let her have the bed, well, just this once anyway.
At that point Scarlett looks up, "Oh, I'm sorry, did you want the bed? Here, you have it" She says, she scoops up her rucksack and scuttles into the bathroom.
Loki wastes no time in rummaging through the wardrobe, and pulling out the spare duvet and pillow, he lays them out on the floor at the end of the bed. He then uses his magic to change his outfit into a grey t shirt and some baggy jogging bottoms, typical Midgardian wear.
Loki tucks himself into his makeshift bed and gets comfy. Not long later, Scarlett emerges from the bathroom, in a pink shirt with grey baggy bottoms, Loki grins evilly, thinking that he wouldn't waste any time in having her out of the pink shirt and grey bottoms and writhing and wriggling under him on the damn bed begging him for more, pleading him to take her there and then, Loki almost growls at the thought of having dominance like that over the frail, hell, he didn't care for the frail, not one bit. He'd simply like to see her excited face when he plants kisses up her neck, holds her in his arms. And then he'd like to see her scared, shocked face when he quickly brings his sceptre out and pierces her right through the heart. that'll shock her.
The idea almost seems like a good one to Loki for a split second and he considers turning his plan into action, he sighs, "Seeing as you're tired, and driving me up to New York, you may have the bed tonight" Loki explains, having a change of mind last minute, damn lucky frail. Scarlett smiles down at him for the first time since he met her. He looks up at her from his floor bed, she has a nice smile, stop it Loki, she's a mortal! Loki snaps back to reality, "Goodnight then" he mutters.
Scarlett smiles again, "Night Loki"
~0~0~0~0~
The light of morning arrives sooner than wanted, Scarlett's green eyes peel open to the rays of sun that seep in through the clear spots on the grimy window. She looks to the side at the clock, 8.00AM.
She sits up, oohh, shopping day with Alex today! Scarlett smiles, before remembering the events of the day before, and frowning. Of course, how could she forget? Alex cheating on her with her sister, being harassed by 'The god of mischief', agreeing to drive said god to New York, yes, how could she possibly forget that?
Scarlett sits upright and rubs her eyes, she glances around the room, and spots Loki still asleep in his bed, his hair is a tangled mess, his arms and legs splayed out, a couple hanging out from under the covers, revealing a bare arm and a bare leg. Scarlett stares at his arm for a little while, noticing it is fairly thin but muscly and strong at the same time. Scarlett follows his arm up to his chest. He wears a grey shirt, which has risen up to reveal his bare chest, the duvet draped around his waist.
"It's rude to stare" a croaky voice mutters, Scarlett jumps, her face turning a new shade of red.
"S…sorry" She mumbles, she looks away quickly from the half-naked 'god'. Although she swears she saw a hint of a smile upon the 'god's' face.
Loki sits up, and looks over to the obviously embarrassed girl who has flushed a brand new shade of crimson red, he smiles, finding pleasure in making the frail embarrassed, "Like what you see?" He teases a mischievous smirk on his face whilst gesturing to his chest, which is now covered up.
"I'll just err….Go and get changed" Scarlett gestures to the bathroom, before hopping out of bed, yanking a white t shirt, grey hoodie and jeans from her bag, and scurrying into the bathroom.
Loki grins; this little trip is going to be more fun than he thought.
~0~0~0~0~
Scarlett and Loki walk into the canteen, which is surprisingly clean and nice compared to the rest of the motel. "So, what do you want for breakfast?" Scarlett asks as she stands in front of the all you can eat buffet breakfast, Loki looks at her blankly, "Doesn't matter" He mumbles.
Scarlett shrugs, and scoops a couple of fried eggs onto her plate as well as a couple of slices of bacon. She then continues onto shoving a few waffles onto Loki's plate, and topping the waffle tower off with a generous serving of chocolate sauce. She pours two glasses of orange juice before moving over to sit opposite Loki.
"What is this? Are you trying to poison me or something? I refuse to consume this strange substance" Loki pouts, while pushing his plate away, Scarlett smirks, "It's just waffles, try them, you'll like 'em" She informs.
Loki hesitates, before picking up a waffle in his hands, chocolate sauce and all, and shoving it into his mouth whole, so much for manners.
Loki makes a pleased grunt at his breakfast, "This is good, yeh, I like this" He states, he wolfs down the rest of the waffles in a matter of seconds, then raises the plate in the air, and smashes it on the floor beside him, making Scarlett and everyone else in the canteen jump, "Another!" Loki shouts.
"Ok….Ok, you could've just asked!" Scarlett exclaims, Loki stares at her puzzled, "I just did?" Scarlett rolls her eyes, "I mean ask nicely," She explains. (I know this scene was in the Thor film, but I thought it would just go so well in this scene!)
Loki sighs, "Fine, if you wish" he grumbles, not all too pleased about having to be nice and civil.
Scarlett stands up to fetch him some more breakfast.
~0~0~0~0~
Its 9am by the time they're off on the road again, with Loki already bored out of his mind, he rests his head on the window as he watches the Midgardian world pass by.
"So, what are you going to do when you get to New York?" Scarlett asks, attempting to start a conversation with the quiet stranger.
Loki sighs, he might as well tell her his plan, it's not like she'll be able to go and tell S.H.I.E.L.D, hell, she doesn't even know who they are, and he's not planning on letting her live long anyway.
"Well, I'm going to track down the members of the avengers, separately, then I will, deal with them, and with them out of the way, there will be no one in the way of me ruling this dreary realm" Loki explains
Scarlett bursts out laughing, "So, you just plan on strolling into New York, and killing all the avengers? And then taking over earth?" She giggles.
Loki sighs, he'd just told her the plan, and did she have to repeat it out for him? Loki nods with a smile on his face, "Something like that, Yes" He replies.
Scarlett laughs again, not believing Loki's plan, and also not believing that Loki's a god, even with those weird clothes changing abilities.
"So, Last night, you said you were the god of mischief?" Scarlett enquires, Loki turns to her, and nods, "That's right, I am" He replies, Scarlett just smiles at this, "Yeh right" She mutters.
Scarlett continues to drive, "Pull over" Loki demands, and a cold look on his face. Scarlett gives Loki a funny look, before deciding not to argue with him and to simply just do as he says, seeing as she doesn't want another encounter with his spear.
She pulls over to the side of the road, she steps out of her car and walks round to open Loki's door for him.
The supposed 'god' steps out, and that's when she realises he has his spear in his hand, what has she done wrong now?
Scarlett urges herself not to say, "Well someone got out of the wrong side of bed this morning" as Loki holds his spear up to her neck and grabs her by the collar. She resists the urge to say the remark and instead stays stone still and dead quiet, while praying that Loki doesn't hurt her.
His eyes change, his pupils growing to take up nearly his entire eye. Scarlett stares at him, fear in her eyes.
"You tell anyone of my plans and I swear I will kill you" He hisses, "Understand? you pathetic mortal" Loki snarls. All Scarlett can do is nod and release a quiet whimper, "Now get back in the car frail" He sneers.
Loki removes the spear from the frail's neck, and enters the car once again, suddenly acting as though what just happened never actually happened.

Hope this was ok, sorry if Loki's a little OOC, It's only my second avenger's fanfic so bear with me! Chapter 3 will hopefully be up soon, am halfway through it, will hopefully finish this. Thanks, and finally, I don't like to beg, but please review! :D
