Gata wanted nothing more then to get Taka away from this man,but it would seem like it was going to be alot more effort then she had hoped,especially with Taka deciding to cling to the man. It was just too bad,that if she had to explain what had happened on this night that her reply would be not entirely a lie but not the truth either. After all,they had been kidnapped by this strange man who,had attacked that other man,and now is holding them both hostage demanding something that neither of them had nor knew what it was. She'd keep her dark gaze locked on Loki until his moved slowly away with the movement from the other girl. Taka,now finished her tea,would struggle greatly to stand-she'd almost fall face first several times but after receiving no help from either person with her,she'd manage to get her feet under her and then bounce a little. 'Taka?' 'Charlie horse...' She'd whine as she limped away,biting the lip of her cup trying to push the annoying pain aside. As she passed,a few dead computers would flicker back to life,causing her to yelp and drop the empty cup on the floor,not that she cared as she had plastered herself against the far wall and stared,terrified. Then each computer would make a horrid sound and die with little puffs of smoke from their monitors. 'What-What-WHAT!?' Taka pointed at the machines,shaking her finger and staring from Gata to Loki and back again,expecting some sort of answer,not that anything logical would make any sense to her at that moment. Loki would shrug just slightly and look away,almost as if bored. 'What indeed' his tone implied he wasn't just ignoring them, that he was taking in everything that happened and that made Gata incredibly nervous. 'What did you do?' Gata accused him darkly,she wasn't so sure of what was happening but she doubted that it was just a conuincidence that had happened as Taka had passed them. Loki turned his gaze back to the dark haired woman,though his thoughts were hidden behind a mask,she didn't care for the look he gave her. 'How do you assume I did anything to those machines,while sitting on the opposite side of the room?' his question was actually asking why she thought he would even bother. His reply would only gain a darker look from Gata who chose to return her attention to her friend,who now looked ready to hyperventalate. She did wish that Taka didn't spaz out at almost everything,but then again,she had gained that nickname for a reason...'This place is clearly haunted.' Gata stated,trying to sound a little shaken up in hopes to snap her friend out of the panic spiral and distract her with something that she knew interested Taka. 'I've...Ghosts don't do that...' 'How do you know. I thought you once told me that they can use the energy created from electronics to communicate with the living.' Gata didn't share the same interest as Taka did in the paranormal,but she did listen to what she was told and read,incase the information ever needed to become relevant. Like possibly,right now. She also was trying to get taka away from Loki,away to someplace more safe,and tricking her friend into nonechalantly suggesting a ghost hunt was the best option at the moment. 'Yes. but...but...but this...but...' Taka would clearly be having a hard time remaining paniced,as her lavender eyes danced with curiosity and a hunger to find the spirits. 'Let's go see if we can find something to use to communicate with them.' Gata was trying so hard to not just snap and order her friend to get out,she still didn't know what the man wanted nor if he was armed. And she did not want to give him any sort of opening to try and wedge himself between Taka and herself. Taka would look so torn as she slid down the wall and trembled. 'I...I can't...' 'Yes. you can. c'mon. get up...up,up,up...' Gata would gesture for Taka to stand,but it was lost as her friend simply buried her face in her knees. 'I'm in paiiiinnnn...' 'And I want a shower...now, get UP' She was unable to keep the irratation out of her voice. Oh,how she just wanted to go home and shower. Away from the military base,away from the creepy man,and for a time away from the trouble that followed Taka. honestly,how could one girl attract so much trouble? Huffing she'd move to grab Taka by the arm,hauling her up on her feet. 'Let's go!' she'd only release her,when she heard movement and spun to face Loki in mid-stand. 'YOU. Sit.' She ordered pointing at the God. He'd give her a strange look,close to amused,though his eyes were dark and full of promise to hurt her. 'And who are YOU to order Me around?' he purred,the corner of his lips curling up. Gata would frown as she kept herself squarely between him and Taka,protectively. Her actions were her answer,and it may have put her in a very dangerous position but she didn't seem to care at the moment. She didn't want to fight the God,she knew there was no way that she could even come close to beating him,but she would do her best if it were to keep Taka safe. She hid her doubts as Loki stalked towards her,like a hungry cat, she would keep her ground and quickly make a mental note of everything she could use in her defense if he decided to escalade the situation. Suddenly Taka would gasp,causing Gata to tense visibly and Loki to stop in his movements. 'Ah! Gata! I know where we are!' She'd dart around Gata and dash between her and the God as she rushed to the wall by the door,pulling what looked like a notice off of an over crowded bulliten board. Somewhere outside,there was the distance sound of tires crunching over dirt and rocks,though it would be lost as the building seemed to hum-the electricity was trying to come back to life but something was stopping it. 'Taka...' Gata would try to grab her friend,but missed. 'Mt. Lolo!' 'What?' Gata was taken slightly off guard by that reply and would move close to her friend,though her attention never left Loki. She'd have the paper shoved infront of her face and would bat Taka's hand away so that she could actually make out the words in the dark room. 'I think its time to go.' This was the worst place to be. They were still too close to town and she knew for a fact that the base was still used,maybe not actively but there was at least always security around. 'But its Mt. Lolo. and who's going to think to look for us at an abandoned Military base?' Taka beamed,watching Gata force the door open and uprooting several years of dust into the air. 'Oh I dunno...Maybe...The damn Military!' Gata snapped,pulling her friend with her as she slowly stepped out of the room. 'Or S.H.I.E.L.D' offered Loki,swiftly within a heartbeat away from Taka,who looked warmly at him.'But we're safe for now.' Taka added. 'How long do you think it will take for someone to come here?' Gata grumbled,unhappy with how close the God was to both of them. 'Well, first the police have to investigate,right? Then they have to determine if its a cause to call the Military in. So, we probably have until tomorrow night.' Taka beamed,seeming proud of herself for sounding so informed. 'And the other guys?' Gata grumbled. 'Oh...Um...I dunno...What is a Shield?' 'Case rested.' Gata huffed. They likely had less time then even what she may have thought,Taka was too generous in her timeline,and as far as she knew,they were already in the crosshairs of some sniper. 'Okay,but how are we going to get out. All the outside doors are likely locked or deadbolted.' Taka offered as she was lead threw a second set of doors and they ended up on a catwalk. They were in some sort of hanger, trucks and jeeps sat at the far end,looking sad and under used. There was no avation equipment but the main floor looked like it could hold a few small jets. 'Maybe the same way we got in' Gata commented under her breath,glaring at the God who seemed to have no interest in their conversation. 'This place is amazing!' Taka beamed,eyes going wide as she moved to grip the railing and leaned over the edge,grinning from ear to ear. 'Its a graveyard' Loki finally commented,gaining yet again another nasty glare from Gata. She hated to admit but she had the same thoughts,this place was a death trap waiting to happen. 'Look! A real Hummer!' 'And it probably doesn't run any more' Though if it did, it would be a good way to get home. Taka would break away and rush down the cat walk towards some questionable stairs-she almost flew over them and to her death,had she not grabbed the railing to stop herself. 'Taka...' Gata sighed. Though any other thoughts were quickly lost when the mostly calm air was shattered with the painful groan of an unmaintained walk way,pulling at the old bolts that held it against the wall. Both Gata and Loki came to a stop,neither wanted to move with the shifting of metal beneath their feet. They had no where to go-it was a good 20-30 foot drop to the ground below and the only chance of safety was 10 feet behind them in the room they had just exited. 'Gata?' Taka asked,fear and concern in her eyes as she glanced over her shoulder to the pair behind her. 'No body move' Gata ordered. She was not going to die,not today and not like this-Loki could,she could care less about what happened to him. She also didn't know just how much of the walk way was about to give way-it could be the whole thing or just a portion of it. She didn't want to risk it all falling and crushing both her and Taka. There would come one more massive groan from the metal before it was drowned out by a growl of cement giving in. Taka watched,in almost slow motion as the walk way detached itself from the wall, sending both Gata and Loki hurling off the metal. 'NO GATA!' Taka screamed, holding onto the railing as the stairs also shook and threatened to pitch her off of them. She'd not care,as in instict took over,Taka shot out a hand towards her friend in peril. Green energy shot from her,it missed Gata and exploded on the ground where her friend was about to land-the ground would ripple like water. And then the air was shattered by the sound of the metal walk way falling on cement and cars that had sat underneath it. Nasty shards of metal would skid along the floor and impale themselves into anything they hit. There was no sign of Gata,nor Loki,but under the rubble it was hard to tell what may be left. Screaming incoherently,tears streamed down her face as Taka flew down the stairs-she'd jump the last couple and land harder then she ment to on one ankle-she didn't notice it as adrenline fueled threw her vains. 'Gata! Gata! Gata! Oh God...' She'd rush to the debris,trembling and trying to paw it away. The metal was heavy,and some of it refused to budge on principle. She'd dig her nails into the metal to try and move it,leaving scratch marks but hurting herself more then anything. She slowly became aware that Loki was watching her. She looked at him,whimpered something incoherent,likely a please help,before continuing her attempt to dig the debris away. There was no sign of Gata. 'I'm so sorry! Gata!' Taka wailed,oblivious of the damage she uncovered done to her precious hummer. 'I don't think she's here' Loki would offer softly,it almost sounded as if he felt bad for her,but his expression was anything but true compassion. He hide a bit of his annoyane of this,but couldn't help the delight,and hope that perhaps his problem had fixed itself. Taka would whimper as a metal shard sliced open her cheek,as her eyes began to glow a little, she'd glare at the floor and the metal as anger now began to fill her. 'She's not allowed to be dead!' As she spoke,metal flew from the floor and hit the walls all around them. Loki dodged and flinched slightly as he narrowly avoided being impaled by some of her rage. 'I never said that she was dead. I suggested that she was simply not here.' 'Then where is she?' Taka growled, eyes burning with the magic that threatened to completely consume her and feed her with nothing but rage and greif. But after a few moments her eyes would dim back to normal as she collapsed onto her hands and knees,looking pathetic once again. 'Then where has she gone?' she whimpered quietly,more tears falling from her eyes. 'I saw what you did. You would have only made sure that your friend found a safe place to land.' His tone was gentle again as he moved towards her. Though he had been briefly hesitant from her outburst,he still knew how to manipulate her,and knew that hostility wouldn't work on her-not that she was simple,he just thought that she was. He did enjoy her pain,and as he stood almost looming over her, he smiled-a smile that looked kind on the surface but held multiple meanings and most not kind. He was amused that at this moment,it looked like she was kneeling at his feet,submiting to him-he liked that look, but his gaze soon moved from the weeping girl. 'You can't know that...I don't know that...I don't know...' 'No. I can see her.' He frowned. Taka would look up at him. 'What? Where?' 'There' he'd nod,and Taka would turn to look to the far end of the hanger. Gata would be storming to them from a side room,bits of cement and leafs stuck from her sticky hair as she looked even more pissed off then she had when Taka first came to her. 'Gata!' Taka sprang up and rushed head long,barreling herself into he friend and nearly sending them both over. 'I thought you were dead!' 'I'm gine.' Gata managed to not entirely growl at taka. 'Now,are you ready to go home?' Taka would make a small noise,not releasing her friend and not going to fight her as she was lead out the side room and soon outside. The night air felt so good against her skin,it was cool but not freezing. She'd slowly feel cold though as Gata released her and moved away. She'd blink when she heard a loud 'thud' against the building and would turn to see that Gata had shoved Loki against the door they had all just exited. 'Gata! Stop...what...what are you doing?' She was so afraid that Gata was going to get herself killed. 'Back off Taka' Gata growled darkly. 'what..no...why?' 'Why? Let's start with who this man is.' 'Loki?' 'So you claim. But why is an apparent Norse god here.' 'He was after these.' 'Stones?' Gata frowned,tone only getting harsher as her gaze darkened. 'And why does a god want stones?' 'They have powers?' Taka's confidence was quickly wavering, but her eyes still held firm. 'Have you even heard how stupid that sounds?' 'Well-When you say it like that..' She'd give a small pout of her bottom lip and huff.'But that doesn't change the fact that I need his help.' 'Help?' Gata narrowed her eyes dangerouly. 'What did you do?' She'd be directing the question to Taka though it would also be more of an accusing tone for the God. 'I don't know what you mean?' Blinked in her innocent manner. 'If this man is really Loki. Why does he have any reason to help? I'm sure he'd rather see you dead. Especially if he attacked you not even an hour ago...so...What-did-you-do?' 'I...' Taka looked away, stopping to think over Gata's words,she'd lift her arms to look at the stones imbedded in each forearm. They would pulse with her heart beat,she could feel them,they were warm and it was strange. Closing her eyes,a soft wind would pick up,she felt her mind slipping...something else was there...'All I did was go to a convention for the chance to meet and talk to heros. And go to work...I didn't even...' she'd blush as her gaze moved to Loki,and she'd get extremely embarressed. 'you didn't even?' Gata pushed. 'Talk to any of them...well...kinda sorta didn't talk to them.' 'so,you stalked them?' Gata frowned deeply as Taka looked away,it was a look she didn't like on Gata,and it ment that she had to continue or do something to make that expression go away. 'No...not...for the whole weekend. I accidentilly bumped into the boring one. I spent the rest of the time with Jay,Alex,Ash,and Blade. Taking pictures. I didn't-OH-' Taka's head snapped up as her eyes went wide and she gasped stepping away from the pair. 'Taka? What? Did you remember something?' 'I think I rather hear about this boring one some more' Loki added. 'Shut up' Gata shot back without even glancing at him. 'The milk man!' Taka exclaimed as if that explained everything-except no one got what she ment. 'Milk man?' Gata scowled,giving her friend a look that said she currently thought that she was a retard. 'I was wondering on my own,taking pictures of all the cool stuff and trying to find-but anyways, this man in a milkman's uniform spots me. He's so totally dreamy too. and since I'm on my own,dashes over to me from his stall,and drags me back to where he was selling his merchandise. He invited me to the after party,the whole time he was very touchy feely, but I never went to the party. That was way too scary! but it had to be him! Or his buddy. They were the only strangers that got that close to me and they..'She'd pause looking down and guilty. 'Took my picture,saying I was cute.' Gata spun to hit Taka upside the head,causing her to yelp. 'Ouc! Gata! that hurt!' 'I know that your not THAT stupid.' She growled in return. 'He was cute. And...' She'd shrug,blushing looking away again. 'Its just as well, I probably would have died...knowing that something was given to me that I was unwittingly given.' or something. 'Which still answers no questions.' Gata huffed,exausted. 'Well,its best that things happened the way they have.' 'No. It's far worse.' 'How? At least no one was hurt.' 'I'd like to add, that you did blow up some people' 'Loki,shut the hell up!' Gata turned snapping at him, but his words would hit home for Taka. Taka had only focused on the fact that she had attacked Thor,it had never dawned on her that other people may have been hurt because of her actions. Gata knew full well the look on her friends face,and had to keep her from falling into a depression. 'If you say another word-' She threatened the God. 'Duck.' Loki smirked, his gaze remaining on Gata the whole time. 'where?' Taka would spin, looking for a duck as her subconcious willed itself to focus on anything but possible death. Besides,maybe the duck was hurt and she could take care of it, she really wanted a pet duck too! Then quite suddenly she'd be tackled to the ground by Gata. Something small,whizzed past them,and would have nailed Loki had he not moved. The arrow was milimeters from his face,and had actually sliced a strand of his hair off,falling to his shoulder. 'I think I'm ready to go.' He offered,though he didn't look at all worried, his tone wasn't as confident as before. He had no intentions of being caught,again. Taka was confused as to just what was going on, she looked around when she saw what she thought was movement in the dark all around them. It was virtually something black against a black back drop,so she couldn't make out just what was moving. She then heard the engine of a jeep,it was the firs tthing she could make out-it was coming right for them with no sign that it intended to stop. Gata pulled Taka to her feet and shoved her against Loki, as she growled,'Taka you need to teleport us.' 'I-what-I can't-I_Loki?' 'We don't have time for this.' Gata snarled, hissing as lights seeming to be brighter then the sun suddenly lit them up. They were all blind,and fleeing by foot would likely be impossible at this point. She didn't trust that they would make it out safely,so she had to put things in terms that Taka would be driven to take action with. 'Taka. Yes,you can. You can...Jump us...Do it now...You have to do it before the Paladins catch us.' In her current state,that seemed to make sense to Taka,as her eyes focused on Gata and flashed green, her hand would grip around Gata's arm while the other would end up grabbing Loki's leg,almost suggestively.
The world would move and fade just as the form of an arrow came into sight,but it would pass right threw them as everything melted away. It would only be seconds,and this time she knew what was happening,that she was in charge. Taka knew exactly where she would 'jump' them,it may not be any safer but it was nearly a world away from whomever was currently trying to kill them.
