Chapter 2:
Bruce's POV
Loki clung tightly to Bruce as they shuffled into the plaza. No one there really knew what the heck was going on. All they knew was that there was some crazyily dressed person standing on a platform with a rotating ball that seemed to be filled with thousands of names. But, as they listened, fear spread through the crowd.
He looked down at Bruce, whom's shoulder he was sitting on. Loki had started to quiver at the thought of having his own name drawn. "B-B-Bruce...what if it's me? What if I go into that arena? I won't have my immortality...or my magic...I'll die! Bruce...Bruce...What if-" He was silenced by a shhing from Bruce. "Loki. Calm down." Though, Bruce was scared too. If he went in there, he would have the other guy, all Loki would have would be his Jotun powers.
"Everything is going to be alright..." Bruce attempted to reassure him. Loki had now started to panic, close to tears. "No...No Bruce! It won't be! There's only going to be one winner! Everyone else dies!" He opposed, burying his face in Bruce's head as tears streamed down his face. "Loki! Calm. Down." Bruce said again, lowering the god from his shoulder and instead gathering him in his arms. He pressed a kiss to Loki's forehead. Loki shuddered, pressing his body into Bruce's. "But...But I'm going to die..." He whispered. Bruce sighed. "And how will you fare if I do?" Bruce had been considering this...Living without Loki? That would be a nightmare undoubtedly...And the other guy wouldn't let him kill himself. Bruce didn't answer, only bringing Loki to even more tears. Then, the lady looked around with a cheerful grin, though there was nothing to be happy about. "...And now the time has come to pick out tributes!" Loki shook violently and Bruce kept his arms tightly around the god. The lady spun the ball, mixing aroung the many, many names. Then, she reached down with her gloved hand and pulled a name out.
She looked at the deathly quiet crowd before reading the name.
"Loki Laufeyson!"
Some of the crowd turned to look at where he was huddled against Bruce.
Bruce and Loki's hearts almost stopped.
"BRRUUCE!" He cried as he was pulled away from Bruce.
Bruce fought off the urge to hulk out, as anger swelled inside of him.
He clenched his fist and started after him. But, just then, the lady pulled another name.
"Bruce Banner!"
Bruce paled as he too was dragged onto the stage, only to rush forward to Loki again and wrap his arms around the god tightly. "At least we'll be going into this thing together."
