Taka would be gone less then three minutes before there was a sound of shattering glass and a blood curdelling scream. Gata shot the man a dark look before rushing towards the hall that the public bathrooms were located in. Her friend would give another loud,girly scream moments before she came flying out of the bathroom, soap and bits of glass stuck in ackward angles in her hair, her eyes wide with terror. Her eyes, that were currently glowing an eerie green,also glowing would be a large gem protruding from her chest as if embedded right into her bone and skin, as well as a smaller gem in the center of her forehead and two on her forearms. They seemed to pulse as if breathing, or alive.'get them off!' Taka cried, clearly paniced,she'd paw at her arms,like they were giant bugs to be easily brushed off. 'What are those?' Gata blinked, worry shadowing her face. She'd never seen anything like it before but it clearly was nothing good and wondered if these strange items were hurting her friend-so far it appeared that it was just Taka being a spaz.
'I don't know!' Taka replied in a soft cry as she flailed her arm,trying to shake the gem off now, a case of Pepsi stacked in the hall beside Gata would explode and shower her with the sticky brown drink. 'Calm down.' Came Loki's voice from around the corner, smartly staying out of sight and out of range of any exploding drinks or other objects. 'YOU stay calm when there's some creepy ass things growing out of your body like giant blood blisters! What's happening!' Taka wailed, between anger and fear,a part of her knew that the God was likely behind this to some extent but right now that just didn't register. She'd reach for her hair,to twirl it like she did when bored or nervous and the strand would suddenly grow three inches longer.' Make it stop!' She cried. 'Its magic, calm down now before you kill us.' Loki repeated his tone now more irratated then before.
Blinking Taka stared at the corner where the man's voice was coming from and slowly lowered her hands and prssed her back against a wall, closing her eyes she'd try to take deep breaths to calm herself down, it wasn't working at first but eventually the odd glowing would fade. When she looked back at her friend,her eyes were back to their normal purple hue and the gems had stopped pulsing now sitting as a light emerald colour. Gata's frown darkened when she became aware of the two girls that worked at Tim Horton's had come over to investigate the screaming,thankfully they missed the action though may have heard Loki's blunt explination. She had such a throbbing headache,she didn't have time to deal with this too. 'Its alright now.' She assured the girls with a weak smile. This was the worst place for some sort of melt down, she had to get them away from people and away from the gas station before Taka ended up blowing that sky high as well. 'I'm going to call kevin,don't...do..anything.' She had left her cell over by the landline,wishing that she had brought it with her, as she didn't want to leave Taka alone with Loki, but she had to get the boss or someone to come in so that they could also had to lock the front door and hope that people were smart enough to go away,but of course they aren't. they never are. She'd keep her eyes glued to the God, who seemed to be ignoring her,she knew that he would likely take advantage of Taka who was gulliable to begin with but like this she would likely do anything the God said...and that was bad. On top of that, she had to figure out what was going on before it got worse, which knowing her luck, it wouldn't take long for things to get worse.
Taka had hardly noticed her friend leave,she'd tremble,cold and scared,and her body ached in places from the strange happening in the dark field and now from exerting itself from all this...power...she could feel it in her veins,and it burned. It hurt,throbbed,it made her wonder if she might have a heart attack and a little surprised that she hadn't been exploded by the power yet. What was she going to do with this? Slowly she looked up at the God as he came into veiw,her eyes bloodshot from the trauma and tears blurring her vision of him. '...Magic...' she ment to say more but that was the only part of her question that she could manage out. she felt so weak and pathetic,this was not how she had invisioned meeting anyone like Loki...she had hoped that it would have been with more dignity...but given the fact that she had spent a weekend running away from the people she had hoped to meet at the convention, this wasn't really a surprise. but that had been playful fun, this was...real. Loki simply watched her for what seemed like a long time,though it was likely only a few seconds, it was a cold one but she missed any warning that may have held.
The God was unimpressed and it showed in the way he held himself. 'You've been given a gift...' 'Don't you dare say-with great power comes great responsibility.' 'What?' Taka shook her head,the joke would of course be lost on him. He'd instead simply scowl at her like he thought she was stupid,but she already knew that he thought that. She'd pull herself into a tight ball and rest her head on her knees looking as a spider darted from under a door,sensed danger and fled back into the other room. Ew...she'd look back to Loki. 'Help me?' She squeeked. What had she just say? She'd close her eyes tight and tremble,not sure what to expect but nothing good. 'Help you?' Loki almost laughed, it was dark,full of anger and hate though it was a short laugh. He'd glance back to Gata, she was throwing her stuff in her bag while arguing with a customer threw the window that there had been a medical accident and she couldn't let anyone in-the customer didn't understand why he couldn't just use the bathroom.
'These...things...The gems...They were what you were after...but...why did they attach to me? What do they do? Do they give a person power. But then why did you want them?' Taka rambled mostly to herself,trying to keep herself from panicing again by talking out loud. 'I wonder...' Loki commented distracted before turning his dark gaze back to her,and she felt a cold chill run threw her very soul as their eyes locked. 'please...help me...control this...and I'll give you what you want...' 'If only it were that simple.' Before anything more could be said, Gata would appear looking like she wanted to kill the world, she'd then turn a forced smile to her friend and produce an extra large tea double double just like how Taka liked it. gata wanted to kick her friend's ass but would reserve that for a later time, right now she needed to get her to safety. 'Can you stand?' Gata asked. 'No.' came Taka's pathetic squeek,eyes still closed tight and balled. 'I got you a tea.' 'Tim's tea?' She'd look up and begin to cry again,though it wasn't from fear this time. 'yes. now c'mon. let's go home.' She'd ignore Loki as she moved to help her friend to her feet, she'd only give him a glance when he made a move,it was more out of instinct of not knowing if the God was about to attack her.
'You can stay here.' She growled at him. 'Excuse me?' 'Your not invited!' 'No! Loki has to come!' Taka broke free from Gata and stumbled to stand,gaining equally dark stares from the others. but she was determined and wouldn't take no as an answer on this. 'He's the only one that knows anything about whats happening to me.' She'd then brace herself on the man,gripping on of his arms and huffing,that had taken far too much energy then she even had left. Gata glared her friend down,This was one reason why she hadn't wanted to leave her friend alone, now she had to directly deal with the God. She should just say screw it and let her friend deal with her own mess,but she knew that she couldn't leave Taka like this...especially with him...She was pissed off at her friend, but she didn't want her dead...yet.
'Fine,but if you trash my house,you'll be sorry' Gata hissed at the God. as long as Loki didn't know who she was or what she could do, she could use that to her advantage as she knew more about him then he knew about her-after all,she was just a geeky normal human girl,with a troublesome human friend. 'You should tell that to the one who can't even control her own emotions let alone a little magic.' he offered with a shrug. Gata's eyes narrowed. She did not like nor trust how calm the man was being threw all of this. No,she didn't expect him to freak out but to show a little more anger or disgust, his lack of emotions showed that he was clearly up to something. But then again, that wasn't saying much.
Taka smiled and reached for her tea and almost toppled over, Loki had to catch her to keep himself from being pulled over with then plucked a large shard of glass from her hair and dropped it on the ground with a slight frown. 'Tea?' Taka whined, looking at her friend pathetically. 'Let's go and you can have the tea...after a shower...' 'I don't want a shower.' 'No shower, no tea' Gata sighed, turning to lead the pair out of the building, and up the road towards her condo. She'd move to take her friend from the God,not wanting him touching her more then he had to,incase he did something weird. No one would speak as they slowly trudged,though the ground was a little wet like it had rained or the hotel's sprinklers had been going all night. They wouldn't get past the first set of hotel's before the night sky light up once and a loud crash of thunder roared angerly across the valley. The three would stop in unison, Taka glancing up to Loki with wide eyes. 'Was it raining when we got here?' Loki barely had time to shake his head 'No' When the night sky light up again. This time the light was blinding and a harsh wind knocked Taka off her feet as the ground shook and the air became full of electricity. Gata kneeled beside her friend,using one arm to cover her face and eyes,as Loki moved to stand just behind them,though no one noticed his movement. The light would quickly disappate,just like a small explosion and none were surprised to see a well muscled man with golden hair now standing infront of them.
'Loki,wha-' The golden haired man's question would never met completion as the moment he had turned his attention to three,Taka's hand had come up defensively and she'd drown out his words with a terrified yelp of her own. 'GET AWAY FROM US!' As she spoke the gems came to life,bright green energy shot from her open palm,hitting the unsuspecting Thunder God and sending him crashing threw two of the neighbouring hotels before coming to a stop under a pile of rubble. Loki's eyebrows went up as an amused smirk crossed his face. 'Nice shot' he seemed amused by that unexpected turn of events, though,his grin only widened. 'But now what are you going to do?' 'What do you mean?' Taka looked up at him,eyes wide, as she began to feel panic creeping over her chest again. She was and wasn't aware that she had just attacked Thor,but she seemed to be blocking that out and focusing on what Loki was talking about. 'Well,That was the equivalant to pulling his hair in class. Now you're going to have to play with him.' 'WHAT!?' 'No one is playing with anyone' Gata snapped,glaring daggers at Loki for antagonizing her friend.
Taka yelped,when she heard movement from the mostly destroyed hotels,she hadn't even noticed the screaming until then,and would shuffle back,wrapping one arm around Loki's leg,taking him by surprise and grabbing Gata around the arm and pulling them closer to her as she balled up. She didn't want to face an angry thunder God. she didn't want to face Thor at the convention when that was for fun, this wasn't fun. 'Poof us away!' 'Where-'The world blurred and spun as they moved from that spot, only to reappear inside a dark and dusty building. Loki pulled away from Taka with a growl of disgust, before taking in their new surroundings.'Where are we?' Gata asked, rubbing her terrified friend's back with her free arm but didn't receive an answer,at least not immediately. 'We appear to be in some sort of abandoned military facility.' 'he'd swat a cobweb from his face as he moved away. 'Why did we come here?' she shot. 'Would you rather go back and face my brother?' Loki glanced the dark haired girl,smirking as if to say he wouldn't object to her leaving them.
Being inside the building seemed to have Taka calm a little, though she was still balled up tightly and whimpering as she now let it dawn as to what she had a good time for her to start having more of a mental break down. 'Drink this.' Gata offered warmly,trying to keep her friend from going completely insane. Despite what they had just been threw,Gata had some how managed to keep ahold and even more amazingly,not spill a drop of the hot liquid. Taka slowly looked at the cup,her face glowing like it was her savior. 'TEA!' She'd turn her back on the others as she held it like a fragile egg. 'What is it with her and tea?' Loki asked, finding a swivle chair to sit in and some how make it look like it was the comfiest seat in the universe,without even doing anything to watched her friend,confident that it was safe to let her be for now before shaking her head. 'she's never really explained that to me.' She'd sigh as she moved to a window, it was black from years of dust. She didn't trust this building,nor that it was abandoned, especially if it was a military 'd frown as there was rumbling over head,though couldn't tell if it was thunder or something else making the building shake.
'How long do we have?' 'Hmmm?' Loki slowly spun his chair in a full circle like a bored child. 'Until Thor finds us again' she wanted to be some place familiar,if they had to deal with the thunder God,where she knew she could defend herself. Loki would rest his chin on his hand as he continued his slow turn but would be smirking at her. 'That depends. I'm sure your government won't ignore the sudden destruction of buildings lightly. Though,he'd be gone before anyone even got there. Unless people got hurt. Then he may be delayed but then that would create a whole new problem for you...' 'Is that so?' She growled glaring at him, not missing the hidden threat in his words. It may have sounded like they were having idle conversation,but she knew that Loki wanted her gone. She was a threat to his plan,whatever that may be. She didn't want to continue helping him...He held more of the advantage then she liked...and there was none of this that she liked...
