Chapter 9: Interrogation

Anastasia was seated alone in the security room watching Loki pacing in his glass cage. He eventually noticed Natasha standing there silently, and turned to face her.

He smirked. "There's not many people that can sneak up on me," Loki told her.

"But you figured I'd come," Natasha stated.

"After," he replied. "After whatever tortures Fury could concoct, you would appear as a friend. As a balm. And I would cooperage."

"I wanna know what you've done to Agent Barton." Straight to the point, such a Natasha thing to do.

"I'd say I've expanded his mind."

"And once you've won. Once you're king of the mountain. What happens to his mind?" Natasha asked. Anastasia wondered if this question was part of the interrogation or if she just wanted an answer.

Loki smirked again. "Is this love, Agent Romanoff?"

"Love is for children. I owe him a debt," she answered. Her younger sister wondered if she was telling the truth and she actually thought that love was for children.

"Tell me," Loki persuaded. He walked over to the bench in the cell and sat down on it, and Natasha sat on a chair next to the cell.

She took a deep breath before talking. "Before I worked for SHILED, I uh... Well. I made a name for myself. I have a very specific skill set. I didn't care who I used it for, or on. I got on SHIELD's radar in a bad way. Agent Barton was sent to kill me. He made a different call," Natasha told him.

Loki nodded slightly. "And what will you do if I vow to spare him?"

"Not let you out," Natasha replied, knowing what he was thinking.

Loki grinned viciously. "Ah, no. But I like this. Your world in the balance, and you bargain for one man?"

"Regime's fall every day. I tend not to weep over that; I'm Russian. Or I was." Anastasia sighed.

"And what are you now?" the trickster god asked quietly.

Natasha stood back up in front of the cell. "It's not really that complicated. I've got red in my ledger. I'd like to wipe it out."

Loki stared at Natasha. "Can you?" he asked. "Can you wipe out that much red?" It looked like Natasha's plan was falling apart a bit. "Drakov's daughter?" Loki stood up and walked over to stand face to face with Natasha. "Sao Paulo? The hospital fire?" That hit a nerve. "Barton told me everything." Natasha looked betrayed and she was starting to panic.

"Your ledger is dripping. It's gushing red. And you think saving a man no more virtuous than yourself will change anything? This is the basest sentimentality." Anastasia truly thought that her older sibling was about to burst into tears in fear of the evil god.

"This is a child at prayer. Pathetic! You lie and kill in the service of liars and killers. You pretend to be separate, to have your own code. Something that makes up for the horrors. But they are part of you, and they will never go away."

Loki hit the glass with his fist, making Natasha jump. "I won't touch Barton! Not until I make him kill you." Anastasia's sister looked like she was about to scream.

"Slowly. Intimately. In every way he knows you fear." Natasha turned away from Loki, pretty much bawling her eyes out. "And then he'll wake just long enough to see his good work, and when he screams, I'll split his skull!" It took everything for Anastasia to stay on the seat, reassuring herself that Loki couldn't physically hurt her sister.

"This is my bargain, you mewling quim!" Loki spat.

"You're a monster," Natasha whimpered, still facing away from him.

Loki smirked. "Oh, no. You brought the monster."

Natasha slowly lifted her head before turning around to face the demigod again, no trace of tears evident on her face at all. Anastasia let go of a breath that she didn't know she was holding, completely amazed at how skilled her sister was.

"So, Banner? That's your play?" Natasha asked rhetorically, figuring out Loki's plan.

Loki frowned, confused as to why she had no tears on her face. "What?"

Natasha clicked her comm on again. "Loki means to unleash the Hulk. Keep Banner in the lab, I'm on my way. Send Thor as well," she commanded an unseen person.

She started walking off, but turned to Loki before she left. He was still frowning at her. "Thank you for your cooperation," she smirked before walking out of the room.

Anastasia switched the camera she was watching to the one in the lab, where Tony and Bruce were working. She was about to switch to another camera when Fury walked onto the screen, his hands on his hips.

The younger Romanoff sprinted down to the lab at an inhuman speed, wanting to watch the fight from her own perspective, instead of watching from a screen.


And that's gonna be all from the next week or so! Unless, I have some spare time after school or something. But I highly doubt it! Hope you all enjoyed this chapter! Please review and tell me what your favourite part of this story was so far! See ya soon, awesome nerds! Revenger Tigger out!
