Ok guys, I am going to give you another update today as a present because I get to go see The Avengers again! Albeit it is with my younger brother, but I frankly don't care who I take, I get to go see the movie again! :D
And I get to see Thor tomorrow night, I have not actually seen Thor, only snippets of it, so I am really excited to see just how Loki is portrayed in the movie. (Yes to those who have said I portray Loki fantastically, I do it from knowing mythology, comic books and snippets of the movie Thor! xD)
As you can tell from this chapter the story is taking a different turn, I hope I don't lose readers because of it, and I hope I don't annoy people with it.
"You know, now you are pissing me off..."
Loki looked up as the Director walked in to the room, he saw the strain on the directors face from trying to refrain from murdering the god on the spot. He smirked softly and stood up from his bed, letting the book he was reading fall from his hand as he walked towards the glass once more.
"Really? I thought I had already done that weeks ago!" Loki hissed, finding himself boring of the game faster then what he thought he would. He lent against the glass and put his hands on his hips.
"You would not believe what you have made me do!" Director Fury snarled, restraining from slamming his fist against the glass. He wanted to walk in to the room and strangle the god, but he knew that was just what Loki wanted.
"Oh I've heard." Loki whispered, standing up to his full height. "A civilian on board and with a child no less. What were you trying to do, Director? Appeal to my fathering nature? My children are gone! But if it was surprise you were after, oh it failed... The guards talk to much to keep secrets, plus their minds are so easily read. Even yours, director."
Loki frowned as the Director started to laugh, before he quickly schooled his features once more and raised an eyebrow. "Did I say something funny?"
"They were not brought on for you. Not everything on this ship is about you, no..." The Director trailed off, but he knew he had said to much when Loki smirked.
"A last ditch effort from a father to save his broken relationship with his daughter? How touching... You bring her friend on board, oh I've seen all about her in your daughters head. A teenager used by a man, left with child on the cold, empty streets. And you wonder why I think you humans need to be ruled. That man will get away, won't he, Director? No punishment will befall him for his crimes, and so a young woman must suffer. Oh please Director, I beg you with my father nature to let me meet with this girl..." He paused as green flames danced on his finger tips. "And maybe even help the child..."
"We do not need your help, Loki. And when you tell us where the cube is, you'll be going back to your home planet to face your crimes!"
Loki watched the director walk out with a bored look on his face, now that there was a child on board the ship he needed to be careful how he was going to execute his next stage of the plan. He didn't want the child to get hurt, he couldn't live with himself if he was the reason a child was killed. Frowning as he sat down on the small bed he scooped the book up and ran his fingers down the spine, he would continue with his plan, he didn't have the time to be wasting sitting around in a cage.
But how to get rid of the child?
"He said he can help her!"
"He is the god of lies!"
"I don't care! Can he help my daughter?"
"Yes, if Loki felt like it he could help your child." Thor said as he swayed his chair side to side with his arms crossed across his chest.
"But it doesn't mean that we should, yes he is your brother, but this might be a ploy..." Tony yelled, throwing his arms up in anger. He begun to pace back and forth at the end of the table, trying desperately to think of anything to get a step ahead of Loki.
"I DON'T CARE!" The woman yelled, slamming her hands down on the table, making the others in the room jump and stare at her. "I am willing to trust this murderer, if it means that my daughter will be healed!"
"But your doctors here have treatments available..." Thor started, but the woman cut him off.
"Which she is to far gone to use! Please! I am begging you, at least let me talk to him!"
The Avengers looked away, not wanting to see the tears fall down the woman's cheeks, but not wanting to be the one that stood up to the director and risk her exposure to Loki. This was probably a ploy for him, a new game, to say he would help and then rip that help away from her.
"I'll take her to see him then!" Callie spoke up from where she had been sitting next to Dr Banner quietly. "I was the one that brought her on this ship in the first place, and yes, I brought her because I believe that Loki will help."
"Loki will want a payment..." Thor said, his voice tired and gravely. "You know that as well as I do Callie Fury."
"Then I shall pay!" Callie snarled, standing up and wrapping her arm around the woman. "I'll try and get the cube as well."
"He'll know it's a trap..." Dr Banner said, looking up at Callie, but making no move to stop her. "He's not stupid."
Callie stared down at the man that she once would have destroyed the world for, before turning away and leaving them in the room with their thoughts, as the young woman followed her out.
"Cause this can't get any more difficult!" Tony stated sarcastically, quickly looking away when Thor glared at him from across the table.
"So you return to me, Callie Fury... And you bring playmates!"
Loki's voice rang in Callie's head before the door had even shut behind her, she gritted her teeth and walked forward, hearing her friend shuffling after her, the child asleep in her arms.
"No doubt you know why I am here, I've not hidden anything from you." Callie spoke, making Loki look up from his book in annoyance, he was hoping that their conversation would remain private but she had instead gone for the out loud approach. He sighed as he snapped the book shut and looked at the younger woman standing next to Callie, her red hair fell in waves down to her waist and her green eyes stared at him without fear, but with determination and hope.
A look he had not received in many years.
"Yes, I know why you bring the dying child." He said, not in the mood for playing nice. "You expect me to be nice and heal her, the disease has almost claimed her. Why should I help you, Callie Fury? And you..." He turned his eyes from Callie and looked at the woman standing next to her. "Why should I help your daughter, Felicity? The daughter whose name you keep hidden from me?"
Felicity moved past Callie, much to Callie's worry, she did not fear the god of lies, there was nothing he could take from her that the world had already taken or was taking from her. "Her name is Hella." Callie looked on in amazement as Loki flinched at the name and came towards the glass to look at the sleeping child.
"No doubt you have heard that name before, Loki Laufeyson. No doubt that you have called that name many times before they took her away. Your youngest, your only daughter, sent in to Nifilheim until Ragnarok, which they stopped you from completing. What happened to Hella in that battle, Loki?"
"She... She fell..." Loki whispered, pressing his hands against the glass and staring down at the child. "She fell by a blade, I did not see who wielded it. I found her body among the dead, my beautiful Hel. Cast away and then murdered!" Loki looked in to Felicity's eyes, his eyes full of pain as he remembered holding his daughter on the battle field before he fell. "They feared my children! THEY KILLED MY CHILDREN AND THEY WONDER WHY I BRING DESTRUCTION TO THEIR PERFECT WORLD? THEY GAVE ME NOTHING, AND WHAT I DID HAVE THEY RIPPED IT AWAY! I WAS MEANT TO BE THEIR PRINCE, AND INSTEAD I WAS A PRISONER!"
Loki glared at Callie, whose silent tears fell down her cheeks. "Your father wants the cube, but he shall not get it! I will rule this world! With myself as the leader, this world will become strong enough to take on Asgard. Your father has already made the weapons for me. All I need to take is the power! I give you this advice, Callie Fury, the heart is a strong thing, but when it is needed, it is the weakest thing to have."
Before Callie could speak the ground shook underneath her as an explosion ripped the ship apart. With out thinking she had pulled her gun out of the holster on her leg and taken off out of the chamber, believing that Loki would be safe in the prison that her father had put her in. All she could think about was getting to Dr Banner before he got hurt and turned, she needed to protect him from himself.
Loki once again looked down at the woman with the child in her arms, the child that was named after his daughter. "You want your child to be healed, do you not?"
"More then anything." Felicity stated, staring in to the gods eyes.
"Then listen carefully..."
Ok guys, i'm really mixing Mythology up with the Marvel world right now, and I am loving it. :D I am a total Mythology geek, and being able to write this is just the coolest thing in the world!
For those of you that do not know your Norse Mythology, Loki has three children with a giantess called Angrboda, their names were Fenrir, Jormungand and then Hel. The Asgardians feared Loki's children, and so in the middle of the night they snatched them away from their mothers hall.
They threw Jormungand in to the ocean on Midgard, he is known as The World Serpant because in the ocean he grew so large on whales, that he is able to wrap himself around the world and bite his own tail.
Fenrir was the eldest child of the three and spent his time as a wolf. Instead of being cast away like his brother and sister, he was kept in Asgard so that the gods could keep an eye on him. Soon Fenrir grew to large and fierce that only on God was willing to feed him, they decided to bind him, as killing is banned in Asgard. Once they got him bound by a magic, silken rope, they tied the other end to a boulder and pushed that boulder in to the Earth. They placed a larger boulder on top of the first boulder and gagged Fenrir with a sword, whose hilt sits on his lower jaw and the tip against the roof of his mouth. He is to stay like that until Ragnarok.
Hel was the youngest and only girl between Loki and Angrboda, she was cast in to Nifilheim where she was to rule over the dishonored dead, those who died of sickness or old age and having to share what food she had with them. In Nifilheim she built a hall which she called Eljudnir, where she had a manservant and maidservant named Ganglati and Ganglot, who's name means tardy. They where so slow that no one could tell that they where moving. On her table sat Hel's plate which was called Hunger, her knife which was called Famine. In her hall was her bed named Sick Bed and her bed hangings called Glimmering Misfortune. She is to stay in her hall ruling over Nifilheim until Ragnarok, where she will join her father and brothers. Unlike her brothers, no one knows how she will meet her end in the battle field of Vigrid.
Now because Loki's attempt at bringing Ragnarok was defeated, I have decided to state that all his children died during that night, because it gives Loki another edge that not many people decide to go in to. No one really writes Loki as a father, but I think when you see what has been done to him, it really justifies things. Of course, in the Marvel universe he does not have his children, but I just can't help myself with mixing Mythology with Marvel, as they just fit so perfectly together.
This story is not going to be a long story, I believe at the moment it should be finished up at either twenty or just over twenty chapters. From this chapter onwards we get in to the finale battle and such, I hope you are all enjoying it and thank you for your reviews! :D
PS:
Sorry for the long A/N
PPS:
Yes I know Loki also has two other children, they will be addressed later in the story before other mythology geeks yell at me in reviews or PMs :D
