Note- Sorry it took so long to post this. I don't know why. I'm lazy.
Four days after Loki had arrived, Ever was called to help torture him.
She was excited. It was the first time Father had trusted her to help him with something and even though she didn't fully understand why Loki was here, she knew enough to figure out that he needed to be broken.
She had practiced extra hard for this and she knew that Father would need her to go out into Terra soon. She had asked Kronos what the best way to rip someone's heart out yesterday and he had responded by looking at her with a shocked expression and then smiling slowly.
He had given her a weapon of her own, a long scythe and taught her how to use it. Then he showed her the best way to take out someone's heart.
Ever was happy. She was wearing a black dress today, so the blood didn't stain her dress. Her hair was pulled back in a braid and she was waving the scythe around happily. Thanos sat in his usual spot and she was hopping around his chair.
Loki was dragged out, bound in chains, bloody and bruised, looking exhausted. When they finished hanging him up he looked up, taking in his surroundings. His gaze finally settled on Ever and then her weapon.
"So I am to made into a child's plaything today?" Loki said, his voice raspy and tired.
Ever was still hopping around and humming to herself. Thanos glanced over at her and then studied Loki.
"You wanted to be a king. You wish to rule Midgard. Am I correct in assuming that?"
Loki scowled. "I am a king. It was just delayed by the oaf who calls himself my brother."
"I have knowledge that you need. And then I can help you with your precious Midgard, but for a price." Thanos pulled a small blue stone and then looked back over at Ever.
"Daughter, come here." Ever stopped playing, balanced on a small peak of a rock mound. She looked over at Thanos and then at Loki and then fell off the rock. She scrambled to her feet and then walked over to Thanos.
"Yes father?" Her face was eager and rosy and she held her scythe with the ease of an experienced solider.
"You are ready?" She nodded fast and hopped around a little. "No killing him. No hurting him to the point of no return. And don't mess up his mind."
"You'll watch right?" Ever asked eagerly. "I really think I'm ready to fight with Nebula and Gamora."
"We'll see how this goes. I believe you." Thanos said quietly and gestured at Loki. She looked at him too, her smile big and bright.
Ever skipped over to Loki, swinging her scythe. He looked back at her, just a flicker of panic showing on his bruised face. She stood in front of him, looking him over, lost deep in her thoughts when his voice startled her back.
"Am I to be prepared like a pig for slaughter? Roasted nice and slow till I give way?"
Ever didn't answer, just stared at him, slowly walking closer. They locked eyes until the silence grew uncomfortable and Loki looked away. Her eyes were dark and way too sharp for a child her age.
"Are you a prince?" Her voice was surprisingly soft and light. He didn't answer and a look of irritation flickered on her face. She stepped closer, planting her left foot forward and punching him hard in the jaw.
His head snapped back and he groaned spitting blood on the ground. "I asked you a question." Ever's voice was hard and she shifted her scythe between hands.
Loki just chuckled and cracked his jaw back into place. "My my, what a temper. It won't get you very far, believe me."
Ever just bared her teeth and proceeded to punch him six more times. Loki was 10 times her size and weight and had a sturdy build. Ever wasn't intimidated in the least. In fact, she was just starting.
"Did you know, that when you slit someone's throat it takes them approximately two point three seconds to die? But that's only if the two major veins are severed. If for instance, you get behind there and pull on them, like this…." Ever slid the tip of her scythe into his skin and deep into his neck, hooking the blade around his veins.
His breath caught and he choked, trying to jerk his head away, but her blade was hooked around the veins and he could not get free.
"Wouldn't want to rip those out would you? I suggest you stay still. It will only hurt more." Ever's face was set, showing no emotion. "I know what you want most Loki Laufeyson."
Loki's breathing was growing ragged. His head drooped forward and Ever pinched his cheek. His eyes fluttered back open and she slowly slid the scythe back out of his neck. It immediately turned dark red and Loki's head dropped back against the rock.
Ever examined her scythe and then swished it through the air, looking back at Thanos with a smile. "What to do next?"
