"How did you get here?" I asked as I rushed up to the glass where Dean was standing. "We got worried when you were not answering your phone so we asked Cas to look for you, he said you were no longer in our reality." Dean explained, "That is not answering my question Dean." I frowned but looked past Dean to see Cas on the ground with a bleeding nose and looking pretty rough, "Cas! You don't look so good…" I was worried about him, never had I seen Castiel like this. "It is just the effects of travelling through realities. I will be fine after some rest." Castiel tried to assure me but I was not so sure. "Get me out of here!" I pleaded banging my fist against the thick glass; I wasn't sure how they were going to get me out.
I felt a presence to my right and when I looked it was Loki, he looked down at me, "Friends of yours?" he asked smoothly, "Yeah… family almost… the ones I was telling you about…" I replied. Sam was keeping an eye on Cas and keeping a look-out while Dean was over by the control panel trying to figure out how to open the cell. "To hell with this!" He shouted and pulled out his gun, aiming it at the control panel he shot three times and the door opened.
"Great work genius, now they know something is wrong!" I shouted at Dean as I stepped out, Loki followed his hands still bound, I looked at him, something in me told me not to let him out of the binds and not to let him come with me but another, more powerful, part of me said I could trust him. "I must be out of my mind." I took a step closer to Loki and tried to take off the cuffs. "These are Asgardian made! Nobody but an Asgardian can take it off." Loki advised rather impatiently, I frowned and turned to Castiel. "Cas… you feel up for some Mojo?" I asked, he didn't look like it but he nodded and stumbled over, Cas put his hand to the Asgardian cuffs and they shook a little then just fell off, the look on Loki's face was priceless. "Can you get us out of here?" I asked Loki as I grabbed his arm and dragged him over to the others, "I really don't think Cas is up for it… even if you can get us to the planes up top, I can fly us all out of here!" I continued and Loki nodded with a smirk on his face, I could tell he was going to enjoy this. "No killing Loki…" I warn, he pouted a little, "I mean it!"
"Alright…" Loki huffed and headed out the door to the corridor where Agents were beginning to arrive after Dean's stupid idea to shoot the console. I followed behind Loki with Sam and Dean carrying Castiel behind me. The first few Agents arrived and Loki dealt with them fairly easily but then about 6 or 7 of them arrived all at once, Loki managed to keep the first five away from me but two of them managed to get past him. Sam and Dean were going to be no help with this so I stepped towards them and they ran at me. I was able to keep them occupied and away from Castiel and the two brothers but two against one was not so easy for a mortal as it was for a God like Loki and I was taking quite a few hits.
I got a punch in the face and fell to the ground, I could see the Agent getting ready to knock me out and I closed my eyes waiting for the blow but it never came. When I opened my eyes and looked around I noticed that the men Loki had been fighting were now lying unconscious on the floor and the two men that I had been fighting were being held a couple inches above the ground by Loki, one in each hand. "Tut tut tut… didn't your parents ever teach you not to hit a lady?" he asked then knocked them together and let them drop to the floor. Loki turned and extended a hand to me to help me up; I smiled at him as I took it. Loki pulled me up so quickly that I fell into his chest; pretty sure he did it deliberately because as I looked up, my face like a tomato, he was smirking down at me mischievously. "You okay?" he asked, "Y… yeah" I stammered and pushed away. "Come on we need to get moving!" I commanded and took the lead. After going down a couple of corridors and not meeting any more Agents I got a bit paranoid, "Guys…. Where are all the Agents?" I asked as we stopped before a corner, "This is too easy…" "I agree…" Sam said, "Guys the Avengers are here, camera's everywhere, they know where we are going and they are going to stop us, damn… I never thought I would ever have to face The Avengers."
"Let me tell you it is not fun." Loki said looking down at me. "What do we do?" Asked Dean, in all honesty I didn't know what we were going to do. "I'm going to go ahead; they are less likely to harm me… I hope" I said. Dean tried to argue but I just shot him a look that meant 'Don't even think about it' and he didn't speak.
I went through the door round the corner only to come face to face with Bruce Banner, "Oh shit…" I mumbled, "What are you doing?" He asked, "I am being treated like a criminal here, I am being poked and prodded like a science experiment and I will not tolerate it, my friends have come to take me home, but we are not sitting in a cell!" I said angrily, Bruce seemed to be taken back by my outburst, "Yes but why are you helping Loki?" he asked, "I'm a sap… and he gave me the puppy eyes, I can't resist the puppy eyes… Sorry Bruce but I have to get through." "Emerald you really don't want to do this…" Bruce warned.
I was terrified, I had no idea what I was going to do, Loki was the most powerful one out of the group and Bruce threw him about like a rag doll after he had become the Hulk. "Trust me Bruce I really don't want to… but I have to, please… just let us through." I pleaded, Bruce looked at me and shook his head a little, "I can't believe I am doing this…" he mumbled under his breath, "They can't hear what we are saying, you need to come at me quick and pretend to knock me out." He said to me, I fought the urge to smile. I then lunged at him, "Thanks." I said quietly as I pretended to knock him out, at that time I felt something slide into my pocket but didn't have time to do anything about it. Bruce fell to the floor and pretended to be knocked out, I ran back quickly to get Loki, Sam, Dean and Castiel. "Quickly, we don't have much time!" I said and we all ran back and past Bruce who was still slumped against the wall. "How did you?" Loki started but I cut him off "I will explain later, keep moving!"
Finally we were next to the jets that sat up top; I quickly scanned them to see which would be big enough for us all to fit in. I spotted one, and headed towards it, the others following quickly behind. Sam and Dean set down Castiel on a bench and I headed to the cockpit with Loki close behind. "Are you sure you know how to fly this thing?" he asked as I began flicking switches and starting the engines, "Trust me…" I said as we started to move forward slowly. As the jet began moving I looked to my left, out the Jet window, and saw the Avengers run out and watching the Jet move off. Soon we were in the air flying, Loki kept asking if I knew how to fly the jet and it was getting really annoying to say the least. "Loki go in back and see if Castiel is okay…" I snapped at him, he did and I put the jet into Auto-pilot . I was fairly surprised that Tony and Thor had not been sent after us considering they were the only ones who could actually fly, well I suppose that is a good thing.
'Bzzzzz bzzzzz bzzzzz' "What the…" I started looking around for where the buzzing was coming from and then I remembered Bruce had slipped something into my pocket. I pulled out a mobile phone and looked at the caller ID. It was Tony, "Hello?" I asked as I answered the phone, "What are you doing?!" A voice shouted on the other end, "Well I am getting away from S.H.I.E.L.D and their poking and prodding." I replied, I looked back to see if anyone had noticed that I was on the phone, they hadn't which was good. "I can get that really I can but why take Loki with you?" Tony asked a bit confused. "Honestly? I have no idea…" I sighed, though in all honesty I kind of liked Loki. There was silence for a moment or two while Tony thought about those words. "Look, we are going to keep Fury of your back for a bit that phone of yours should have all of our numbers so if you need anything call, but remember I am not a all night sex line and no kinky stuff…" Tony laughed a little there and so did I. "Thor seems to think that human interactions could be a good thing for Loki so just behave and don;t do anything stupid okay?" "I promise Tony, Thanks." And just like that the conversation was over, the question is, where do we go now?
**With the Avengers**
"We can't just let them get away! Go after them!" Fury yelled at the Avengers as they watched the jet fly off. They all looked at him but didn't move. "And you! Banner, you just let her get away, if she had really tried to attack then you would have transformed in self-defence!" Bruce was a bit taken back by this "Really, you don't want to get me angry sir…" he said with a faint smile. Fury couldn't believe this, he shook his head and headed back into the ship.
"Is that true?" Steve asked, Banner looked down and then nodded, "It is and I agree with her, she helped us and then we lock her up like she is a science project, it's not fair. I might not agree with her taking Loki with her but I do agree with what she said." Banner defended his decision looking at each of the others in turn. "This could be good or my brother." Thor said finally, "To have some human interaction, he seemed to be protective of her. I have never seen my brother like that before." He continued.
"So what you are saying is we just let them go and do whatever they please!?" Steve said incredulously, "Of course not we keep an eye on them and keep S.H.I.E.L.D. from capturing them, I managed to slip a phone into Emerald's pocket, we can track her and get in contact with her that way." Banner explained, "Are we agreed?" he asked. They all looked at him for a few moments but all nodded in agreement. "Let me see that phone…" Tony said and then began dialling Emerald's phone.
After the conversation Tony just stood quiet for a moment, "I think she has a crush on your brother Thor." He turned to face him with a large smile on his face, "Who knows maybe you will have a sister-in-law in the near future." Thor was not sure on how to respond to that, he was happy for his brother, perhaps the love of this mortal woman will show Loki that he is loved and as he thought about the possibilities of this Thor let himself smile a little.
