Ok guys, quick chapter update here, a little bit of Callie x Loki for you all xD! I'm going to have to stop updating for a little bit until I can get my chapter numbers up once more, otherwise I'm going to run out of chapters to update lol. Plus I need to see the movie once more in order to get the battle scene down right!
But do not fear, my muse is not going on holiday, far from it! So far in my head I have another three stories brewing away, one will be put in to the Thor section and will be AU and about Loki x OC in Asgard growing up, with a few little twists put in there :D
And the two in this section will be the sequel to this story and also the prequel of this story. The prequel will focus on Callie and Bruce keeping under SHIELDS radar and their adventures as they both try to come to terms with what they are.
And the sequel, well you'll just have to wait and find out about that. :D Thank you all for the reviews and alerts, it really makes my day to see them all in my inbox when I wake up or check my inbox once more. I finally got to see Thor today with my two younger brothers and it was EPIC! Just a perfect balance of fantastic.
And yes, if you heard a huge fangirl scream/squeal it was me when Clint came on the screen for Thor. I am such a nerd I picked up who it would be instantly when they said 'we need a man in the sky' and he grabbed the bow off the wall.
Enjoy the update! :D
Callie sat in Tony's apartment, she had requested to be taken from the ship as she could no longer focus on her work. Of course instead of letting her go home to her own apartment and bunny, she had been released in to Tony's house (though at least they had brought her bunny).
Jarvis was chattering away at her in the background, but she was ignoring him as she cut up leafy greens to feed the hungry rabbit that sat at her feet. For people who had never heard her speak of her rabbit, the first time they saw him they instantly thought he had been genetically mutated by a psychotic scientist, but that was far from the truth. His breed was the largest breed of rabbit in the world, the Flemish Giant, and as he weighed a healthy 10 kilos (22 pound), it wasn't really a wonder why most people went with the genetic mutation way of thinking.
"Mute!" She said, instantly silencing the computer's insistent chattering. "God I wish people came with a mute button." She mumbled, arranging the leafy greens on a plate and then going to grab a carrot from the fridge, laughing as the rabbit followed her excitedly.
"You know if my brother ever saw that, he'd want to eat it."
Callie spun around and threw the knife with out even thinking, she watched as Loki snatched it from the air with his hand, though the tip was only inches from his face. Quickly grabbing another knife Callie stood up to her full height and glared as the god walked in to the room like he had brought the house from Tony and had moved in without her realising.
"Rabbit is a delicacy that Asgardians love to partake in." He added, snatching the second knife from the air as she threw it at him. "If you would stop that!" He flicked his wrist at the third knife and watched it turn in to a butterfly, which fluttered away out the open window.
"ENOUGH!" He yelled, watching as Callie's arms snapped to her sides for a few seconds before she was able to move them, glaring at him as she stood in front of the rabbit. She then stopped herself from flicking the next knife at him when her eyes fell on the small toddler he was holding on his hip.
"Hella!" She called, dropping the knife on the counter and rushing to him, instantly taking the child from his arms she held her close to her body. "Hey sweet girl. Are you hurt? Are you ok? Where's mummy? Did this mean man hurt you? Oh sweetie I should never have trusted Felicity! Oh honey are you hungry? Did he even feed you? Gah does he even know how to look after human children?" She quickly hurried back to the bench and sat Hella on top of it, inspecting every inch of the toddler (who watched her with a slightly annoyed look that reminded her to much of Loki), before deciding she was ok and turning around to face the god as she placed Hella on her hip, keeping her body slightly angled to keep Loki as far away from the child as possible.
"No she's not hurt. Yes she's fine. Mummy is partaking in a slight adventure that I needed her to. No I did not hurt her! No she's not hungry she had a happy meal, which is still partially on her face. As my last sentence stated that she had food, I guess that meant I fed her. And yes I bloody know how to take care of a human child!" Loki said, going through his mind to make sure that he had answered every question she had asked whilst inspecting the rather annoyed toddler. His eyes flicked from Callie to the rabbit a couple of times before he flicked his finger slightly and smirked as Callie followed where his finger had flicked and let out a small gasp.
"You turn him back to brown now!" She snapped, glaring up from the now bright emerald bunny to the god of mischief, who had only just decided to start to live up to his name. She watched as he walked around her to where Tony stored the alcohol and started to go through the bottles, randomly taking the lids off some and sniffing the contents before placing them back and moving on to the next one, completely ignoring her. "If you don't turn him back I swear to god I will kill you!" She hissed, watching as he poured himself out a tumbler of drink.
"I love it, I really do, Callie Fury..." Loki said, turning around and taking a sip of the drink. Leaning against the bar he gave a smile at her confused expression. "I kill a man who was like an uncle to you, I steal your friend away and get her to do my bidding as I hold the fate of her child over her, I cause your lover to go insane and try to kill people then become lost..." He took another sip of drink as Callie flinched and glared at him even more. "I am about to destroy your planet and rule it with an alien army, and you are going to kill me for turning a rabbit a different colour."
"Right now that's the only thing I can control." Callie stated, moving Hella on her hip a little to get the little girl to be more comfortable before she looked back at Loki. "Why did you bring her here?"
"Because your constant worrying about her was starting to get on my nerves." Loki stated in an offhanded way, as if he was talking about a doll instead of a living, breathing child. "And I wanted to know why you worry for the child more then you worry for the mother, even though you know what I am making her do."
"Because she is an adult, she can make her own stupid decisions whilst running around believing every lie that spills from your pale lips!" Callie snarled, before letting her voice take on a neutral tone as Hella started to fret. She ran her fingers gently across the childs bald head and pressed a kiss to the side of her face. "This child needs treatment, pain killers for the headaches, relaxants for the muscle tremors and sleep. She needs doctors, not some false god!"
"But the child is terminal." Loki stated, finishing the glass and staring in to the bottom of it, watching as the sun created a rainbow effect if he got the glass just in the right spot. "Why should she suffer through that when she'll be dead soon?" He gasped as a knife stuck in his arm from where Callie had thrown it, catching him completely off guard.
"Get out of this house before I have Jarvis call S.H.I.E.L.D!" Callie hissed, moving to stand in front of him as he pulled the knife out and healed the wound. "When we meet next, it will be on the battle field. And I won't hesitate to kill you or Felicity if it means keeping this world safe." She stared in to his green eyes and shivered as his hand came up to cup the back of her neck, holding her where she stood.
"And I'll return the favour, Callie Fury." He hissed, bending his head down slightly and pressing his lips to hers, making her let out a small growl from the back of her throat before he pulled away slightly. "Tell me, what does it feel like to have a man actually want to kiss you, instead of pulling away in fear? I know what I can do to you, and yet I still press my lips against yours. Perhaps the man-beast needs to learn some lessons..." He paused before pressing his lips against hers once more, smirking mentally as she slightly relaxed in to his kiss and pressed her own lips back against his, before realising it and pulling away from him once more.
"Keep the child safe, Callie Fury. I shall return for her in three hours once her mother has returned from her work and cleaned the blood off her hands." Loki stated as he pulled fully away from her and placed the tumbler back on the bar.
"So you are going to continue to use my proper last name." Callie said, not looking forward to Loki's return, but hoping that he would get so caught up he'll forget about it. "About bloody time."
"Why, would you rather I called you Callie Banner?"
"Why can't you just call me Callie?"
"Because every time your name passes through my lips all I wish to do is kiss you. As I stand here and see you with a child in your arms, all I wish is for that child to be mine. I want to lay my staff and helmet down at your feet and give you everything you want. I want to win this world over and then hand it to you on a silver platter with a promise I will win you as many as you like. And yet I see you fall for the man-beast, a person who probably doesn't know how to act to a woman without hurting them. I see the hurt in your eyes every time he pushes you away only to pull you close the next time no one is around. I know the secrets you hold in the mind, the knowledge that your father won't let you go, no matter what the outcome of this war is. And I see the determination in your eyes to fight for what you see is right, even if I beg you not to fight against me." He sighed as his clothes changed from his normal Asgardian wear in to his battle wear, making Callie look away at the floor. "If you are to die, Callie, it will be at my own hands."
"If I knew she would be safe, I would beg you to fix her, promise you what ever you want in return for Hella to be safe." Callie looked up at Loki and then at the toddler who was happily grinning at the god. "But my dad would rather kill her then risk me being taught by you. I saw it in his eyes when I told him I wanted Hella and Felicity to be brought aboard the ship. He would kill anyone who tried to take me away from his 'protection'." She let out a snort of laughter before looking back at Loki. "Go, before Jarvis rewrites himself and calls The Avengers to save me..." She watched as Loki walked to the window, getting himself ready to vanish. "Loki!" She called, making him stop and look at her over his shoulder. "In a different time I would have loved to be your student."
The only acknowledgement he gave her comment was a quick nod of his head, before he vanished from her sight, leaving her alone in the mansion with Hella. "No matter what, I can't kill him." She sighed, pulling the stone from her neck and dropping it on the bench. "Bastard!"
Loki smirked to himself as he swept in to the room to check on the process of the scientist as Callie's thoughts came rushing back in to his head once the stone was dropped from her skin. He silently left her mind when she started to think once more of the man-beast before walking in to the room to see just how long he had to wait before he could bring his army to destroy this world.
