Tom just sat stock still as Thor entered the room. Both stared at each other for a moment in shock before Thor turned to call out
"No please don't" Tom cried out desperation in his voice.
That made Thor stop, did his brother just plead? With suspicion plastered on his face he slowly closed the door and leant against it to prevent 'Loki's' escape. "Brother there are armed guards searching for you throughout the palace and you hide in my room?"
"Well you see I'm not your brother..."
"You have the nerve to come here and still its 'I'm not your brother!' You try my patience Loki!" With that Thor moved forwards and angrily pushed his brother leading Tom to collapse on the floor.
"I'm not your brother in Tom Hiddleston. I mean I play Loki in a movie but I'm not actually him you see..."
"Enough lies Loki" Thor said "I will go to collect the guard." As he made a move towards the door Tom leapt up and went to grab Thor. A big mistake. Thor anticipating an attack swung at Loki with Mjolnir knocking him to the ground. He placed The hammer upon Loki's chest to prevent any further escape attempts.
Had this been Loki he would have merely been restrained. But as Tom was a mentally mortal the hammer was crushing him with its magic. Tom started to panic struggling to push the hammer off of him as his breathing became more and more restricted as his mind struggled to cope with the mental attacks by the hammer. "Please help.." He croaked out, making Thor turn his head, "Can't breath.." Thor expected a trick so watched cautiously from by the door. But Loki's breathing did seem to be slowing and it should not affect the God that way, his magic would be repelling it. Either Loki had lost his magical powers or this man could be mortal. The man let out a whimper.
Deciding not to take the risk Thor removed the hammer from Loki's chest. "Speak now or I will turn you over to the guard Loki"
"I'm not Loki I am Tom Hiddleston from Earth. I was having these dreams and then one night I fell asleep in my apartment and woke up here, which is Asgard I think. I don't know how I got here, all I remember is a dream with two minds in my head and then we seemed to become each other...does that make sense?" Tom stuttered out alarmed as to how the God would react and if he would believe him. If he didn't he might be stuck in that prison for ever.
Thor looked torn for a moment then reached a conclusion. "Is there a way that you can prove to me you are from Midgard?" he asked.
Tom thought for a moment "Could I show you my dreams or my past life in some way" He enquired.
Thor contemlapted this. "Heimdall may be able to do this but I must have you word you will not try to escape or harm me if I try and get you past the guards to see him."
"My word as a mortal" Tom said, earning him a slight grin from Thor.
"Let us find Heimdall then friend"
Loki had finally been called on set for his fight scene with Thor. More specifically the part where he gets to stab him. Grinning manically Loki watched as the actor named Chris sauntered over with Mjolnir. He threw the hammer to Loki who out of instinct caught it and was amazed to find he could hold kit. Must be another 'prop' he thought.
"Ready" Called Chris
"Yep" Loki replied tossing the hammer back to him. He was starting to understand Tom a little better now. He was a joker but so nice, nothing like himself. As he grabbed the shard of plastic (supposedly glass) of the props table a flash of regret almost passed over him for having to kill this Chris. But he posed a potential threat and could not be allowed to live. Both men readied themselves for the 'fight' They moved in a dance like movement until the speaking part of the fight arrived
"...together" finished Chris. And with that Loki forced the shard of glass into his neck (not his side as previously done) muttering "sentiment." He then gasped in horror as if what he had done was a mistake. No need to blow his cover now
"Chris oh my god Chris" He shouted grabbing him as he fell to floor. "My hand it slipped... HELP." He cried acting for the first time in this scene.
The silly mortals appeared to believe him rushing over to Chris and calling for help. In that last moment however, Loki had not stabbed Chris in the airway but rather made the shard of glass hit a spot that would cause temporary paralysis. Perhaps a month or so. Sentiment in deed where had that reaction come from.
Suddenly he found himself being touched by the others mind and he realised that a link still existed between them. The mortals subconscious friendship with Chris had caused him to lose focus and his hand to move to a less deadly place. He would have to sort this! Suddenly his thoughts were distracted by the first aid team from the ambulance rushing Chris out of the set. Feeling he needed to say something to keep his cover he rushed over to Chris and grabbed his hand causing Chris to look at him. "I'm so sorry it was an accident" he stuttered out "you'll be fine mate I promise you will" He said give his hand a reassuring squeeze. Chris looked at him as if trying to show that he knew it wasn't his fault. Well he was wrong there.
Tom suddenly stumbled whilst he rushed through the corridors with Thor, The hood of his robe slipping back to reveal his face. "What are you doing, hurry!" Cried Thor backtracking to grab Tom's arm and force him along. Tom pulled the hood back over his face. As he rushed along he remembered what had forced him to stumble. It was like a mental contact and he had seen himself stabbing Thor but moving his hand to save him. Now he thought about it that man had looked more like Chris than Thor.
he ground to a halt. Thor almost fell surprised by the abrupt halt. "We have a problem" He said. "Loki, I think he's trying to kill the avengers, I mean the actors who play them. he just tried to kill you, I mean Chris but I stopped him I think. I don't know" Tom spluttered worried as to whether his friend had survived.
"He must be trying to eliminate the chances of me doing a mind swap. If what you say is true and you are not Loki I mean." He gave Tom a stern look.
Tom sighed. He didn't know how to make this Thor believe him, he could only hope Heimdall could do something. They rounded a corner and came face to face with seven guards. "Keep quite and follow my movements" Murmured Thor approaching the guards like he had every business to be there.
One stepped forwards, "Oddisson you cannot pass through here Odin has demanded that no one leaves the palace."
" I have orders from Odin himself to search for Loki in the palace grounds, I take with me this sorcerer who has the ability to sense others presences and may be of use." Thor replied, gesturing to Tom.
The guard looked suspicious "Let this sorcerer show his face and then I shall allow you to exit the palace"
Thor glanced at Tom worry clear on his face. Now what did they do?
