Sorry about the late update and the short chapter. More is coming, but i'm currently planning a story with my best friend.
Barton kept an overly close eye on me as we took a Quinn Jet to the Helecarrier. And I have to tell you, when you have a master assassin watching you like a hawk, it's kind of scary. As soon as we landed, I followed the son of Coul to Fury's office. When we entered, Director Fury looked knowingly at me; I assumed Coulson had already told him.
"Sit." Fury ordered. I sat, but to my annoyance, son of Coul left the room. "I believe we have a treaty to discuss."
"If but treaty, you mean an agreement that means that the Asgardians won't invade Midgard, then we already have." I replied. "My people have protected Midgard for years; we have no reason, nor want, to invade."
"If that is true, why are you here?"
"I came to study. I studied at every school on Asgard, and decided to come to Midgard to study. The only real thing I have learnt is your technology, which I still struggle to use."
"If that is true, I would like to put you on the Tesseract project."
"I would have made you put me on that team one way or another."
A year passed, and I came to find myself sitting on a box, sipping a cup of herbal tea, watching as Dr. Selvig tried to deactivate the Tesseract. I sat in my armour, which Fury had forced me to wear.
It was really just a female's version of Thor and Loki's armour. It's black, green, silver and red. It starts with shoulder's like Thor's, but winds into the criss-cross pattern on Loki's abdomen. Underneath that, I have what the mortals call, leggings. The leggings and black, with red and green running down the sides. The pattern continued onto the boots, which Son of Coul has described as 'combat boots'. My arms are bare, but I have guards on the lower arm. The design is a wrap, like the pattern on my abdomen, in green, black and red. It also has spikes that come out of the sides. My long brown hair is loose behind me, and I have a cape of silver and black.
I watched as Fury walked in, and demanded to know what was going on. He then went to talk to Agent Barton, who was sitting on his perch, as was normal.
The Tesseract started sparking even more energy, and I knew, just as Agent Barton did, that someone was opening the door. Someone was coming. As the Tesseract hit its peak energy output, and explosion went off and everyone was knocked back. I quickly stood up and faced the source of the explosion. On a platform, kneeled a smoking figure, the smoking figure of Loki.
I stayed where I had been knocked to, hidden from Loki's view as he attacked the guards that had approached him. As Barton attacked, Loki grabbed his hand.
"You have heart." Loki complimented, before putting his sceptre his chest.
Even from my distance, I could tell that Barton's eyes glasses over and turned completely blue.
I turned my attention Fury, who, without anyone noticing, was placing the Tesseract in the case.
"Please don't. I still need that." Loki snapped, turning his attention to Fury.
"Of course it does." Loki countered. "I've come too far for anything else. I am Loki of Asgard, and I am burdened with glorious purpose."
Selvig went to move from beside me, much to my shock. My eyes widened as he talked.
"Loki? Brother of Thor?" Selvig asked, moving forward and into the conversation.
"We have no quarrel with your people." Fury got Loki's attention back.
"An ant has no quarrel with a boot." Loki smiled smugly.
"You planning to step on us?" Fury asked amused.
"I come with glad tidings, of a world made free." Loki smiled happily.
"Free from what?" Fury questioned.
"Freedom." Loki answered. "Freedom is life's greatest lie. Once you accept that, in your heart, you will find peace."
Like what Barton called, a gun slinger, Loki turned to face Selvig, who had crept up on him, and put the sceptre to his chest, and making him a slave. I moved to attack, but Fury sent me a glance that said don't-you-dare-get-seen. I obeyed and moved back down, staying hidden.
"Sir, Director Fury is stalling." Barton pipped in. "This place is about to blow. Drop a hundred feet of rock on us. He means to bury us. He also doesn't want you to see Agent Blake who is currently hiding behind a computer desk."
I bit my lip as Loki looked in my direction.
"She doesn't matter." Loki said. "I want casualties to make my point."
"Barton's right." Selvig agreed, looking at the computer near me. "The portal is collapsing in on itself. You got maybe two minutes before this goes critical."
"Well then." Loki mumbled.
Oh Valar. I swore. With just a glance from Loki, Barton shot Fury and myself, before marching out of the room. I was more concerned with Fury than myself. I just pulled the bullet out of my shoulder, which, unsurprisingly, had no blood on it, and ran quickly over to Fury, who had just pulled the bullet out of himself.
"Hill, Barton's turned." Fury stammered into the radio.
Together, we ran out of the collapsing building and into the flying chariot that the Midgardians call a helicopter. We climbed in and took off after my brother. When we caught up with his car, Fury fired upon them with a machine gun. When Loki fired back, we had to jump out of the helicopter.
"This is a level 6 emergency." Fury said.
Please review! and tell me who your favourite Avenger is, cos that's who Zelda will spend alot of her time with. Also, any ideas are wanted and accepted.
