Chapter five: Midgard

Loki was used to the use of the bifrost, for it did not sicken him anymore. He was at the place where he wanted to go. The one place in Midgard he hated the most.

New York.

It was an late hour, but that didn't matter in the city that never sleeps. He ended in the middle of the road. Taxi's and other cars were making a lot of noise at him. A man stepped out.

'Hey you! Get out of the way! Asshole!' He swung his hand in frustration.

Loki groaned at that. He made a movement with his hand that threw the car back slamming into two others. People stared at it, others were running away. He didn't care. He was so angry. All the time that feeling of not being the strongest. It was frustrating. And now, here on this pathetic planet, he would let his rage go.

He walked around a block to see couple construction workers on a building that was being rebuild. Probably still from Loki's work here. He smiled evil as he made one of the pillars disappear, sending it all down, crushing the construction workers. People screamed and cried. He didn't care. He fed on those cries. He went down to central park, where a couple was kissing at the edge of a pond. He hated the sight being disgusted. He threw them over in the pond. But it was not enough. He held them down, letting the water crush on their lungs. They tried to scream, but most of it was consumed by the water in their mouths. Just when it would have ended them, someone came rushing in to help them. Loki let his grip go as the man pulled them ashore.

'Are you alright?' he asked. Loki suddenly realized he knew that voice. He slowly turned around, but was a moment too late to be unnoticed. 'Hey!' Steve screamed after him. Just before he could grab Loki he disappeared. It was an illusion.

Now even more upset he went to one of the largest streets. All the buildings here were from large companies, mostly banking business. He stood in the middle of the square when he pulled his arms up. Out of him came a dark haze that started to grow. It parted in three parts, forming three animals. The snake hissed before slamming himself several times in the windows of the buildings, shattering all. At the other side the horse with eight legs did the same. In the middle remained the huge wolf, that let out a cry that broke every glass remaining.

It was such a mess. Then, as if struck by something invisible, he felt empty. Empty of breath and power. The three animals felt down. He did the same. A small war helicopter got down in front of him. He noticed the emblem on the side. SHIELD. Great. Unable to move he stayed there on the ground. He felt so powerless. The helicopter opened and Fury, captain America and Hawkeye walked out.

'I really hoped I had seen the last of you Loki. Should you not be in prison?' Fury asked without humor in his voice.

Loki laughed out loud at that. 'In prison? I have been in prison for like a week before they couldn't handle it without me already!'

Hawkeye cuffed him and helped him stand up. 'What have you done to me?' he asked, irritated.

'Ah you mean a feeling of being powerless? Yeah, we made you mortal,' Fury laughed, satisfied his plan had worked.

Loki's eyes grew big with anger. 'What? How?'

'I'll tell you aboard the base. Now walk.' Loki walked with swinging legs.

It's been a long time since Faheiya used the bifrost. Her own ways of travelling were not so…sickening. She suppressed the urge to throw up. She looked around her. New York.

'Really Loki? The one place you already destroyed?' she shook her head.

She tried to find the mind of Loki but couldn't find it. She decided to take a walk in a random direction. After two minutes of walking three people rusted around the corner to stop just in front of her.

'Here is it!' the woman cried.

They all looked at Faheiya, almost disappointed. Nevertheless, she recognized them.

'You are not Thor,' she said sadly.

'No, but you are Jane Foster,' Faheiya said. Jane's eyes grew big. 'You know me?'

'Yes, I have heard anything about you from Thor. I am from Asgard. But now tell me, how did you find me?'

She looked down at the weird machine in her hand. 'We saw the opening of the bifrost and rushed up here. Then we saw it again. We tried for the second one, what turned out to be you. Is Thor the first one that came?'

Faheiya shook her head. 'No it is his annoying brother, Loki. I am searching for him. Do you know where I can find him?'

They were all thinking. Then the man, Eric, came up with something. 'Maybe shield knows.'

She looked in his mind to find out what is was. All she saw was dark rooms and bad memories. 'What is shield?'

'An intelligence. They captured Loki before but….' The rest of his words faded away as Faheiya's hearing failed her. Not just her hearing. She felt light in her head. Her knees were shaking.

'What…is…' she tried but fell down. Jane could just catch her in time. 'What is happening?' she asked in fear as the woman collapsed in her arms.

'Must…find…Loki…' And then anything was black.

Jane looked around to see the shocked faces of Eric and Darcy. 'Help me!' she said when no one helped her. Eric took the woman from her. 'What do we do?'

'Let's call shield. She wanted it and they would want her too. If something Asgardian is about to happen again we better be with shield,' Darcy said. They nodded in agreement.

A little later they were in central park. They laid the woman down in the soft grass. Shield was called and they would meet them here.

'Are they even coming?' Darcy dragged. Just at that moment a tiny speck in the air started to nearby. It was Tony Stark in his Iron man suit. He came to the ground next to them.

'I heard you found an Asgardian?' he asked.

Jane stood up. 'Yes, she said she was looking for Loki. She is a friend of Thor. Do not treat her badly, she is a good person.'

He turned his mask down to the unconsciousness woman. 'Why is she asleep?'

'We do not know. She collapsed.'

'Very well then,' Tony said. He lifted the woman in his arms.

'Wait! Can we come?' Jane asked.

He turned around to face her. 'Can you fly?'

'No,' she said.

'Then no,' he said shortly. With that he took off toward the shield base.
