…Chapter Sixteen…

Twenty minutes had passed and Steve was getting worried about Samantha since she never came back from the bathroom. He had a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach; then he went up to Tony, Thor, and Clint - who were standing by Samantha's cake. "Something's not right." he blurted out. "I'm going to look for her."

"What?" Clint looked confused. "Who are you talking about?"

"Sammy hasn't came back from the bathroom and that was over twenty minutes ago."

"It's been that long?" Tony asked and Steve nodded.

"I will go with you." Thor put his drink down. "And no need to alarm Jane about this. I do not want her to worry."

"We're going too." Tony drank down the last of his drink and set it down, then clapped Clint on his shoulder. "Come on, maybe she got lost." then the four of them split up and went searching for Samantha.

...

"Where do you want us to put the mortal?"

The Other grinned at the two Chitauri's. "Chain her up and put her down in the dungeon for now, until I have use for her."

"And Loki? Will he follow your orders?"

"If he wants his mortal alive, then yes." the Other chuckled. "He will, he has no choice."

...

As the guys were searching for Samantha, something told Thor to go check the balcony, so he did. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw gold shining and looked over. Once he realized what it was, his eyes widened as he got closer. "It cannot be." he knelt down. "Loki? Loki, wake up." Thor shook him, but got nothing. Loki was unconscious. "Why are you here, brother?" Thor muttered, as he picked him up and put him over his shoulder, then got into the elevator, heading downstairs.

...

Steve was flipping out. There was no sign of Samantha anywhere and Jane started to notice that something was wrong with the way the guys were acting, so she went up to him. "What's going on?"

Steve heavily sighed, he knew he couldn't lie to her. "Sammy's missing."

"What?" Jane's eyes widened. "Where is she?"

"We don't know. She went to the bathroom, but that was over 45 minutes ago, and we've been looking all over this place." there was a long pause. "Something's not right."

"Does Loki have her?"

"I don't…" Steve looked at Jane incredulously. "I don't know. I mean, he's been gone. Do you think he has her?"

"It's possible. He kidnapped her before." Jane ran her fingers through her hair. "Shit, this cannot be happening."

"Hey." Darcy went up to them two. "What's going on?" she noticed the looks on their faces. "What's wrong?"

"My sister is missing."

Darcy's eyes widened. "What? Again?!" before Jane or Steve could respond, they watched Thor rush in, and whisper something to Natasha, Tony, Clint, and Bruce, and quickly rushed out. "Where are they going?"

Tony whispered to Clint, then went over to the DJ booth to shut off the music. "Alright, everyone." he turned to face the crowd who looked at him confused. "The party is over."

There was a lot of "No's." and "Awe's." that were heard through out the entire room.

"Come on." he clapped. "Everyone out."

Clint went up to Steve, Darcy, and Jane. "We gotta go downstairs."

"Did you find Sam?"

Clint glanced at Jane and shook his head. "No, but Thor found Loki out on the balcony, and now, he's in a Banner's cage."

Steve turned to the girls. "You two should stay here and make sure everyone leaves."

"No." Jane shook her head. "I need to know where my sister's at and why the hell he came back."

Steve sighed, then Darcy spoke up. "Go ahead, Jane… I'll let everyone out. Just keep me updated."

"I will." Jane nodded, then her, Steve, and Clint went into the elevator to go downstairs. When the three of them got to the holding room, they saw Natasha and Bruce staring intently at a unconscious Loki, through the window, and noticed something different about him. "What… what happened to him?" Jane asked. "Why does he look beat up?"

"That is how I found him." Thor said, after him and Tony walked in.

"Where's Sammy?" Steve asked.

"I did not see her out there." Thor shook his head. "Only Loki."

About ten minutes later, everyone saw Loki stirring and slightly moving around. After he realized where he was, he started freaking out. Loki was pounding on the window, throwing the chairs and/or kicking them, and screaming his head off to let him out, kind of child-like, and and it had went on for about five to seven minutes.

"Whoa… what is his problem?" Natasha spoke up, seeing him finally calm down a little.

"I need to talk to him."

"No." Thor stepped in front of Steve. "Let me."

Steve glared at him a few seconds, before nodded. "Fine."

"Wait." Clint flipped a switch and Thor raised his eyebrow. "So all of us can hear what Loki tells you."

As Thor was stepping out, Jane put her hands on his chest to stop him. "You ask him what he done with my sister."

"I will." he nodded, then he walked into the holding room with his hands up. "What are you doing here, Brother?"

"What?" Loki did a double take and made a face. "What… are you wearing?" Thor was wearing grey slacks, a grey vest with a white button up, and shiny shoes. "What happened to your Asgardian attire?" Loki scoffed. "You look ridiculous."

Thor frowned and slightly shook his head. "Why are you here?"

"I had to see Samantha."

Seconds later, Steve rushed in, ready to attack Loki. "What did you do with her?!"

"You think… I have her?"

"That's the only reason why you're here!" Steve yelled. "She was happier and doing just fine without you."

Loki got into Steve's face, as much as he could with Thor standing in between both of them. "Oh, you know why, Captain." he smiled a little. "But I'm not the one that took Samantha. I love her more than anything."

Thor turned to his brother. "Then who did? Who took Samantha?"

"The Other and the Chitauri. They want me to start the war on this world or Samantha is dead."

"YOU SON OF A BITCH!" Steve made his way passed Thor and punched Loki in his face, knocking him hard on the ground. "This is all your fault! You say you love her when you're the one that caused all of this to happen to her!"

Loki chuckled, as he got off the ground. He wiped the blood from his lip as he faced Steve once again. "Yes, it is all my fault and I take full responsibility, but I will stop and kill every single one of them, then bring Samantha… back to me safely."

Steve scoffed. "What makes you think she'll even want to be with you?"

Before Loki could respond, Fury ran in with Coulson behind him and both had their guns drawn. "What the hell is going on?" he got into Loki's face, as everyone else ran in as well. "What are you doing here?" he asked, shoving him into the wall. "You come back to destroy our planet, since you missed the opportunity last time? Let me tell you something, Loki… it's not gonna happen; we will stop you, regardless if you're the father of Sam's baby or not."

Loki glared at Fury as Tony, Steve, Jane and Thor's eyes widened a little, while everyone's jaw dropped. "How do you even know that?" he asked. "I know Samantha would never tell you."

"We have our ways." Fury smirked, making Tony slightly shake his head. "Now, you will be locked in here, maybe for ever, until we figure what to do with you."

Loki sighed, putting his hands up in defeat. "I did not come back here to start the war."

"Then why are you here?"

"Sammy's missing."

Fury snapped his head over at Steve. "What?"

"Yeah." Tony nodded. "She was gone for over forty-five minutes, then Thor found Loki unconscious on the balcony."

"It is true." Thor spoke up. "And I brought him down here."

Fury glanced back at Loki, taking in his appearance. "You look like you got your ass kicked… where is she?"

"The Chitauri and the one they call the Other - took her, but I do not know where."

"Why?"

"I failed to destroy the planet, and unless I follow through with the deal, the Other will kill Samantha."

Fury raised his eyebrow. "So, you are gonna destroy our planet?"

"No, I gave up on that since Samantha told me about my child. I will kill all of them that hurt or even touched her and get her back, but you must let me go. I can save her." Loki paused, looking in Fury's one eye. "You have my word."

Fury slightly shook his head. "Wait here… I gotta think about it." then he, Coulson, Tony, Steve, and Thor walked out, leaving Loki in the room by himself.

...

"Ow… what happened?" Samantha whispered to herself, as she moved her head from left to right, then immediately took in the awful smell, and blinked her eyes open. "Where am I?" she looked around and saw that she was in some kind of cell or dungeon, with both of her hands chained above her. She tried to wiggle out of it, but it was too strong for her.

Suddenly, it sounded like someone was coming towards her, so she closed her eyes and pretended that she was still unconscious. The door opened and a Chitauri walked in with a board of food and set it on the floor by her feet. As he was about to leave, he stopped and turned around, smirking at her.

Within seconds, Samantha felt his hot and stinky breath on her neck and cheek, and as much as she wanted vomit her guts out from the horrid smell, she couldn't give it away that she was awake, because she didn't know what would happen, and she kept completely still. "Get off of me, turn around, and leave." she basically screamed in her head and before she knew it, she heard the door open and shut. "Uh…" Samantha blinked her eyes open and saw that he was gone. "That was weird… oh, ow!" she felt a strange pain in her stomach - which traveled throughout her whole body. "What the hell is wrong with me?"

...

Fury, Coulson, Maria, Jane, and the rest of the Avengers were down in the conference room, sitting at the table, thinking. "What should we do about this situation?" Fury asked, rubbing his temples.

"Bring Samantha back."

"Steve." Natasha started. "I know you want her to come home, we all do, but we have no idea where to start."

"I do." Thor spoke up. "Loki and I can go back to Asgard to get help from Hemidall - he will see where they took her."

"And if we left Loki out of the holding cell… and he lies about trying to destroy everything?" Coulson asked, crossing his arms.

Thor sighed. "I looked into his eyes… he is telling the truth and if he goes after something he wants, nothing in all the realms will stop him. I know he will do everything in his power to get Samantha back." he glanced at Steve. "He still loves her." Steve just put his head down at the table as Thor looked back at Fury and Coulson. "Freeing Loki is your only option to kill what wants to destroy your world."

"You'll need help." Tony spoke. "You and Loki can't take on a whole army, plus I'm not gonna just sit here and do nothing to help Sam and my godchild."

"Your what?"

Tony ignored Jane and stood up. "I'm going with you and Loki, if you like it or not."

"Fine." Thor heavily sighed, looking around at everyone in the room. "I think we will need all your help… if you are willing."

"Absolutely." Natasha nodded, then Bruce and Clint nodded as well. The only one that stayed quiet was Steve.

"How 'bout it, Capt?" he slowly looked up at Tony. "We get to save the world and more importantly, save Sam and the baby."

Steve took a deep breath and nodded. "I'm in."

"I will go tell my brother." Thor quickly stood up, then he walked out and went into the holding cell. "Loki?"

"What is it?" Loki snapped his head up and went up to Thor. "What is it?"

"We have to go to Asgard and get help from Heimdall and the Warriors Three and Sif."

"We?" Loki looked puzzled, then he made a face. "As in us and the mortals?"

"Yes." Thor nodded. "We need all the help we can get. We will have Fathers Army on stand by, if we need them."

"Oh, we will need them." Loki slightly nodded.

Suddenly, the door opened and Steve walked in with his arms crossed and a scowl on his face, stepping up to Loki - almost nose to nose. "You better listen, because I'm only going to say this once… if you EVER do anything else to hurt Sam EVER again, there will be NOTHING in this entire universe that will stop me from killing you, because I will know."

Loki stared at him a few seconds before nodding in understanding. "Fair enough." then Steve, Thor, and Loki went to the conference room, so Fury could drill it into Loki's brain about what will happen if he didn't keep his word - that he'd help save Samantha, kill the threat, and not try to destroy their world in the process.
