Thanos's new toy
Thanos watched as his new toy trained.
Nari jumped out of the way of a blast form a chitauri gun. He spun around and threw a dagger at it's neck, killing it instantly. He then used magic to spue flames from his hands and burning the remaining chitauri to ash. He looked to Thanos. Thanos gave one nod of approval, Nari beamed with pride before exiting the training arena.
"Master," The Other said standing beside Thanos. From this vantage point they could see the boy train while watching the building of the chitauri army, "The boy has grown stronger. But not enough if you wish for him to destroy Loki."
"I am well aware of the fact, Other." Thanos said in a voice that commanded respect. The Other bowed its head instantly.
"Master, " Thanos said nothing and the Other continued. "The boy will not advance in skill here. I believe that in order for him to do so, he must leave and continue his training elsewhere."
As Thanos thought of where he could put the boy, said boy approached the two and knelt.
"Master Thanos." Nari said, head bowed. "Have I pleased you?" His voice was flat but Thanos saw right through it. The boy wanted his approval, craved his acceptance. But Thanos remained impassive.
"You should have been faster in the killing. In battle the avengers will not hesitate to kill you, never hesitate in battle."
"Of course master."
"Rise." Nari stood and looked expectantly at his master.
"You will go to, Midgard, to train. You will go alone. While you are there training you will observe the avengers, staying out of sight. Find their weakness, do not fail me."
"Yes master Thanos." Nari bowed before going back to his chambers, he wouldn't dream of disappointing his master. As he left Thanos eyed the device on the back of Nari's neck. The device was built for control, it was placed on the back of the neck and a spike was injected into the spine. It was used for obedience purposes. If Nari were to start remembering by the off chance, or if he were to even think of betraying him it would send an electric shock into the brain. Thus, eliminating any chance of Thanos loosing his new asset. Nari knew nothing of the device.
"Midgard, master?" The Other sneered after Nari, the dark haired boy set the Other on edge. He reminded the Other too much of Loki. The Other simply wanted to tear Nari apart and be done with it. But Thanos had other plans.

Nari was quietly sitting outside a cafe. It was chilly out and Nari was wrapped up in clothes along with the other few people outside. The avengers tower was some ways away across the street and then some. He sat and stared up at the tower of his enemies, then back down to his drink. The humans called it coffee.
"Hey sweetie hows the coffee?" The nice woman that was a waitress there asked him. She smiled at him kindly, showing him the coffee pot. "Would you like some more?"
"Yes, thank you ma'am." Nari answered with a polite smile. She refilled his mug, he sighed softly and looked back at the tower.
"You waiting for the big guy?" She said looking at the tower too, he looked at her confused.
"Iron man, Tony Stark. Remember when the aliens attacked New York?" Nari froze for half a second. He didn't remember the actual event, how could he? He didn't remember anything before master Thanos saved him from wandering the universe, lost and confused. But from what master Thanos told him he gathered that Loki had failed the important task of defeating the avengers, and then joined them. But now the honor fell to him, to destroy the avengers, and the traitor Loki.
Loki. That name, Nari knew that name. Why did he know that name? It had to be from the training, all the hours of information drilled into his head about the avengers. Had to be. But something tickled at the back of his brain, something important about the name Loki. He could almost reach out and touch it... Almost, it was almost in his grasp...
But then out of nowhere a sharp shock hit him. He gave a small gasp of pain.
"Dear, are you alright?" The nice lady asked him. And suddenly the pain stopped, what had he just been thinking about? He had forgot. He again smiled reassuringly at the waitress.
"Most definitely. Thank you for your concern." She nodded and started to walk away.
"You can stay there as long as you want honey. I hope your family shows up soon so you can have lunch together!" Thats was right, his excuse for staying there for so long. He was meeting his imaginary family and when they got there they were going to have an imaginary lunch together. One big happy, imaginary, family.
"Indeed." He mumbled, but she was too far away, on to another table. Nari stood silently and left, the only indication that he was there was a ten dollar bill and an empty coffee mug.

Nari had used magic to appear at the top of the avengers tower. He sat on the roof, looking out onto the city. Nari breathed deeply as a breeze blew over him. It was peaceful, much more peaceful here then the constant chittering and spitting of the chitauri army as they rebuilt. The chitauri didn't like him, and whenever he tried to talk to them he could only hear hissing and snake like sounds. The Other and master Thanos could understand them, but not him.
Nari grinned as he saw birds pass overhead and they sang to him as they went. He shook his head and refocused.
He was here to gather more information on the avengers. Not pointlessly daydream, that achieved nothing. Nari stood up, used magic to make himself invisible, and poofed into the tower.

Chilly was sitting with Clint, Natasha, Jayfeather, and Bowtie in the kitchen. Steve, Thor, Loki, Ember, and Vali were in the training room. (Vali wasn't training, just watching.) and Peter, Bruce, and Tony were in the lab.
It was a week after the zoo incident and the explanation to Fury about what was going on when Chilly was eating an apple and she felt a shift in the room. She looked up and around, she saw nothing so shrugged and went back to eating and flipping through a magazine. She did not know that it had been Nari's appearance in the tower that had caused the shift. Nari had felt these three human presences as the closes so he decided to start with them first, but he began to rethink so when the two animals lifted their heads and growled at him.
"What are you two getting so upset about?" Chilly questioned looking at them, Jayfeather and Bowtie began to walk in the same direction but they were growling at nothing.
"Uh, guys?" Chilly was now confused and she summoned her ice sword. She carefully walked behind them, Natasha and Clint were now watching.
"Chilly what's wrong?" Natasha asked, Chilly shrugged and continued forward. She stopped in surprise as Bowtie barked profusely and changed into a wolf and Jayfeather into a panther.
"Is anybody there?" Chilly said raising her voice. "Hello? Loki it that you?" Bowtie lunged but he flew at nothing but air. He and Jayfeather then looked around as if confused and Chilly felt something shift in the air.
"What was that?" Clint said, Chilly just said.
"I think it was Loki just trying to scare us." And they left it at that.

Nari was in a tree in the park in New York. He had been prepared to face the seven avengers, not who ever this magic girl was or her monsters. That wolf had almost gotten him and he cursed himself for almost getting caught,who were they? Were there others like them in that tower? Oh well, that was why he was there wasn't it? To find out information on the avengers so it would be easier for him to destroy them when the time came. But he was going to have to find out more on the girl especially, he will not fail master Thanos. He will not.
Nari decided he would go back soon, but he would have to be more careful.

Thanos grinned, his new toy was now on Midgard and was gathering information on his enemies. He of course could have sent the worm to Asgard, but Thanos wanted Nari to see Loki and start to remember only to have a vicious shock delivered instead. If was fun to watch him squirm in pain and besides, maybe this way the insignificant creature would then associate Loki with pain and make him even more desperate to destroy the traitor. And when that task was done, Thanos would kill Nari. But then again Thanos knew how much the Other wanted to do that so maybe he would give Nari to him. He might even give Nari back his memories so he would be tortured by what he had done until Death finally took him.
Thanos felt something that might have been happiness at the thought of his Death, he knew that even after all the lives he had taken in her name were not enough. Never mind that though, because what was coming next would be more than enough to make her happy.
So it's my first official day of summer! I hoped you liked this chapter and can't wait for the next one! I love to hear your thoughts :)
Ps. What do you think will happen when (If) Nari and Vali run into each other? (Maybe even literally)
REVIEW... pretty please?
