The silence was held heavy in the shock of the three faces looking at me. Every movement played in slow motion as Thor pushed Loki out of the way grabbing me by the shoulders. I felt my head being tossed back and forth quite hard that it hurt but I couldn't hear what he was saying to me. Loki then pushed him out of the way holding me still. The Asgardian's lips were moving but all I could hear was a strong ringing in my head and I felt my knees giving out from underneath me. Loki cradled me in his arms as the clanging in my head cleared, I heard him lay into his brother.

"You ever lay hands on her again I will kill you!" his voice was filled with malice.

Thor fired back almost screaming, "She said the Son of Coul is alive, that cannot be! This has to be one of Amora's tricks!"

Loki paused looking over me taking in Thor's words carefully. His eyes met mine staring into them so deeply as if he was trying to read my insides. I didn't know how to prove I was actually who I said I was, I just hoped that the god would see it, feel it as he once had and trust in me. Those bright green eyes studied my face, my body taking every inch, every detail of my being in great scrutiny. I held my breath expecting the worst, thinking he would think I was something conjured to fool him and he would surely destroy me after this examination. Loki stopped his inspection of me with a light press his lips to mine as he inhaled my breath.

"I know you my sweet girl," he whispered into my mouth. He turned his attention to Thor and Jane, "I believe her and we need to listen to Chastity, we don't have much time."

Loki put me down and I stood in the middle of the three, feeling once again intimidated but I thought of Phil and it washed away. I looked at Thor, "You were right Coulson was dead, so was I," the Asgardian grabbed my hand tightly as I continued. "SHIELD revived us and pieced us back together. We were on a mission to find you when I got separated from Coulson and brought here." I turned to Loki, "She told me that I make you vulnerable."

"We should get to Coulson," Jane said trying to take the situation in.

"No," Thor said, looking at Loki there was a plan forming between the two that neither of them liked. "Malekith still needs to be stopped," his voice was uncertain, almost strained. "Loki take Chastity and find Amora, stop her from harming the Son of Coul. Jane and I will stop Malekith, somehow."

I looked to Loki wearing a mask of hesitation. I wasn't sure if it was for Coulson or taking me with him. I had the feeling my face shared the same look. I was useless in a fight, frail and weak. The only good part I ever played was leverage for the other side. Coulson used me once and now Amora was using me. All of this was so twisted; never had I dreamed a reunion would happen and if it did I hadn't pictured it ending up like this. I trained my eyes to the ground as I didn't want him to see me crying. I heard thunder then the ground shook I nearly fell over but Loki caught me.

"These fears you have are unwarranted Chastity," he told me softly looking into my grey eyes. "You are not frail or weak, you beat death and won the love of a god," he gave a half smile. "None of that would have been possible for a weak or frail mortal."

I sniffled fighting back tears, "Thank you," my voice managed as I slightly smiled.

The Asgardian took my hand in his, "Come we have work to do. Where were you and Coulson headed?"

"London," I told him as he nodded.

We vanished as we had before in Germany. I was slightly disorientated but Loki kept me on the path. I knew once I disappeared Coulson would be looking for me. He'd start at the SHIELD office call it into Fury and then branch out the search with field agents. I led the god to the field office and there was a frantic scene.

I looked at Loki, "Stay here, they're looking for me. If I can pull Phil away from this and explain what's going on we'll have a better chance to keep him calm."

The Asgardian's grip on my wrist got tighter, "Be careful and come back to me."

I kissed Loki's lips lightly wanting so much more before I left his side and walking into the cacophony of radios.

My heart raced as I watched Chastity walk into the pit of armed mortals, knowing I could do nothing. My presence would only hurt her purpose. She walked into the building and all that was left was to wait until she emerged with that mortal that destroyed her. Rage built inside me and I clenched my fists but I let it go. She jumped in front of the beam to save me. I sighed letting go of the anger I was holding.

"The great Loki Laufeyson showing regret, how far you have fallen," a voice rang out from behind me.

I turned to see Amora standing a few feet away with both Coulson and Chastity, "Let them go," I growled my whole being shaking.

She laughed, "Them? Not only the girl but the man as well Loki? The one that killed your precious plaything," she shook Chastity's head back and forth. "You cannot possibly tell me they both mean something to you."

"You do not want to toy with me Enchantress," I leveled a glare at her.

"Oh no Loki, I am not the one to be toyed with. You and your brother should have learned that lesson a long time ago. Now you will both pay for your cruelty," her voice was thick with emotion and hate. The blonde encircled the girl and SHIELD agent in green smoke and they vanished.

"CHASTITY!"

As the three of us disappeared I heard Loki scream my name. His voice so full of agony and despair, I hung my head and cried. This was all my fault.
