"You have to be fucking kidding me right now.." Jane mutters to herself, confused and angry as she turns away from the beautiful sight that is Asgard and back to sit on the seat she woke up on. Was it all just a dream? Or was it real? When Jane gets back to her lab she's gonna stacks and stacks of paperwork filled of the nightmare she's experiencing now. Everyone is going to go ballistic, it'll put a new twist of the scientific theories about out-of-body experiences, if that is what was happening. Then a thought hit Jane, one that made her heart ache: Loki.
What was he in this world? an elephant? a tree? a damn sandwich?
Jane almost laughs at her silly assumptions. She now remembers where she's seen Loki before. On Tv in New York where he had tried taking over. All the destruction, the death, everything he had caused, he was a god. She had kissed, touched, slept with a god. A war criminal at that. Jane runs her fingers through her hair to calm the frustration building up inside her whenever she thinks of his face. She wasn't sure how she felt about him now, now that she was sure he had a part in tricking her, and how he didn't help her when she was losing herself.
she doesn't think he could even do anything, could he? Maybe he could, he's got magic..
Jane feels her stomach churning again and bile rise. Groaning she hurries to the small bathroom to her left and dumps all the black blood into the empty chamber pot. The metallic taste makes Jane shudder and give her some sense of relief that what she experience was somewhat real, that or she now has internal bleeding from how much energy is coursing through her veins. She goes over to the sink and turns on the faucet, letting her hand be drenched in the cool water to try to keep her temperature normal, then she splashes some on her burning face. Jane grabs a rag and dabs her face going back into the living space and sitting down when suddenly the door opens with two guards holding plates of food with a tin over them.
Jane sighs softly shaking her head, food being the last thing she wants to eat surprisingly.
"I'm not hungry."
Just then she hears the sound of punches and she looks up startled to see the two guards on the ground with a woman behind them with hair as black as night and strong fierce features of a warrior. "Good. Let's go." The woman looks Jane up and down and she takes that as a cue to get her stuff ready, she grabs a dark jacket and follows the woman out the door stepping over the unconscious guards.
Jane shakes out her messy hair and straightens out her jacket following the woman when she catches the sight of Thor. She remembers him of course, it seemed like forever since she's seen him, his blonde hair and friendly face that could put anyone at ease made it impossible to forget. Then there's Him.
Jane's breath hitches in her throat taking in Loki's new form. And god its a good look on him, and ever better with chains on his wrists. Jane's face heats up at the memory of a night they had that had the mention of bondage. Jane could almost feel the ties still on her wrist. But Jane pushes her thoughts out of her mind, trying hard not to have the sudden craving of his hands on her, Him, in her...
Loki locks eyes with her and Jane could see them widening a bit but does well enough to hide it, instead his smirks slyly she's seen way too many times.
"You're.." Jane starts softly pointing to Loki who's smirk widens.
"I'm Loki, you made of heard of-" That's when Jane slaps him across the face. Hard.
"That was for New York." And for not telling me what was going on..
Everyone stills their movements and Loki slowly turns to look at her with a smile, but she could tell it was anything but teasing.
"I like her."
Jane blinks feeling tears pricking in her eyes, angry tears, confused tears, longing tears..She moves a piece of her hair out of her face keeping her gaze on Loki as he turns his attention to Thor, then back to Jane with his stupid, but beautiful smirk still on his face.
"What the hell happened, I know you know, Loki.." Jane whispers while Thor is busy talking to the woman. Loki cocks his head to the side squinting his eyes a bit.
"Once we're somewhere, private. I'll tell you everything." Jane nods curtly once and turns to Thor who holds her hand looking down at her worriedly. "Are you alright, Jane?"
Jane looks up at Thor, the familiar sensation of a once love hitting her. She nods with a slight smile holding Thor's hand squeezing gently.
"Just a bit tired is all." Jane answers truthfully, Thor nods and gives her a charming boy-ish smile that she remembers falling in love with.
"If you betray him, I'll kill you." Jane hears the woman say firmly. Loki chuckles airily and turns to the woman with a smirk.
"It's good to see you too, Sif."
"We must all hurrying, Volsagg will spare us some time to escape." Thor said glancing at Loki who gestures with both his tied hands for Thor to lead the way. The whole palace is in ruins, chunks of pillars everywhere and a large, dark alien spacecraft of some sort is lodged in the huge gaping hole of the palace. Jane sees a burly looking man with a long ginger beard holding an axe standing in front of the wreckage.
"I'll buy you as much time as I can." The man named Volsagg promises. Thor claps him on his armored shoulder in thanks.
"Thank you my friend." Thor walks past with Jane beside him and she gives him a nod in thanks, then she looks back at Loki not being to help herself seeing him being stopped by Volsagg.
"If you even think about betraying him.." Volsagg starts but Loki looks at him amused.
"You'll kill me? Evidently they'll be a line."
Jane rolls her eyes and turns away keeping her head down, but with a smile gracing her lips at his sarcasm. He still has it.
Jane feels Loki behind her as they all enter the spacecraft, she feels his breath on her neck making all the hairs on her neck stand up giving her a shiver, his breath is cold as well. Jane stands on Thor's side while Loki stands on the other side, his gaze flickering to hers then on his brother as he presses buttons unsure.
"I thought you said you knew how to fly this thing." Loki states looking at the controls himself.
"I said how hard can it be." Thor answers pressing more buttons that don't seem to be doing anything. They all hear the clanking of armored and swords, men yelling:
"They're on the ship!"
"Get to the ship!"
Jane glances behind them biting her lip in apprehension. They really needed to hurry.
"You must have missed something." Loki says leaning on his elbow watching his brother struggle with the controls.
"I've pressed every button on this thing." Thor retorts obviously furrowing his eyebrows clicking on switches roughly.
"Don't hit it just press it gently." Loki scolds calmly says leaning in to see which button his brother is pressing roughly.
"I am pressing it gently it's not working!" Thor bangs his fist and the whole ship lights up in blue showing maps.
Jane sighs in relief holding her hand to her chest and Loki glances at her for a moment then back at Thor who chuckles and tries moving the ship through the wreckage, breaking even more columns.
"I think you missed one." Loki says sarcastically with a sigh and Jane rolls her eyes playfully, holding onto something as the ship rumbles.
"Shut up!" Thor shouts just as the ship busts through the wreck and out of the palace causing Jane to almost fall.
"Look why don't you let me take over? I'm clearly a better pilot." Loki suggests after a moment of flying through the air looking at Thor who tries his very best to steer the ship, he chuckles.
"Oh really? out of the two of us, which one can actually fly?"
Loki rolls his eyes shaking his head, glancing at Jane from the corner of his eye from time to time, Jane feels light-headed again, she tries to keep her eyes open but with the ship moving and doing loopy loops it's not possible to stay steady. Jane faints and she hears Loki say curiously.
"Oh dear, is she dead?"
She could laugh.
She hears Thor's deep worried voice that brings her back to consciousness somewhat. "Jane?" She waves her hand lazily whispering just as nausea passes through. "I'm okay.."
"You know this is wonderful, this is a tremendous idea," Loki starts firmly. "Let's steal the biggest most obvious ship in the universe and escape in that! flying around the city, smashing into everything in sight so everyone can see us, its brilliant Thor! it's truly br-"
That's all Jane hears before she hears Loki yell, Thor must have pushed him out. she feels Thor pick her up easily and suddenly feels a rush of wind whipping through her making her open her eyes and gasp. Thankfully she hears they've landed on solid...boat?
Jane looks around tiredly to see a another blond man and Loki who gets up having a bit of trouble with his chained up wrists. The man laughs watching Loki struggle.
"I See your time in the dungeons have made you no less graceful Loki!"
Thor lays Jane down on one side of the boat and wraps a blanket around her, she turns her head to give him a small smile.
Loki watches with his neutral expression as Thor gently takes a piece of hair out of Jane's face with a loving expression on his face. A tinge of envy passing through him at the gesture, but Loki had his time to do everything he could with Jane. But then Loki has a surge of pride as well, he's had Jane more closely than Thor ever will.
And when the time comes for them to be intimate, she will think of his face instead of his brothers.
When Jane had first arrived in Asgard, Loki's curiosity got the best of him. He wanted to see what exactly in her his brother sees. And when Thor had told him about the Ather surging in her veins, giving her delusions and making her sick, that was Loki's one-way ticket. So he summoned his old friend and Enchantress, Amora, who was eager to help of course. While Jane was kept prisoner by the command of Odin, Loki made an illusion of himself into the room where Jane was being kept, thankfully Jane had fallen asleep.
With the Ather in Jane's veins, it made an excellent substitute for the task. Loki had asked Amora to bend the Ather at her whim, she couldn't extract the Ather out like Malekith could, no, but she could ask it to do whatever she wished. So he asked to place a dream spell on Jane's mind, Loki's magic included in the spell too. Loki and Amora had casted a spell to turn Jane's dream into a illusion, a powerful one at that. Jane's dreams were normal, but as the spell was casted, it had warped Jane's current dream blocking it and replaced it with a more magical realistic one. One where Loki was a common vampire. Loki didn't know why he chose such a creature, he just thought about it at the top of his head, really.
Loki simply wanted to tease with Jane in the most wicked way possible at first. But, as time went on, or, the realistic dream went on, he had no idea she would be one of the most lovely people he ever met. Loki already regrets even doing the spell, mostly because he had forgotten that Jane was just a fragile human, her brain could not take so much magic and stress and Loki feared he had done great damage to that brilliant, brilliant brain of hers.
Amora had said on the phone in the illusion to Loki that the spell wouldn't last very long, she had better things to do. Little brat. Loki thought bitterly.
But then again, Amora likes to change her mind. And she had threatened Loki that she would kill Jane, merely so she could have Thor for herself. Loki wasn't surprised by this but Loki wouldn't allow it, never. After Jane passed out from the spell being broken, she promised she would find Jane and take her out-of-the-way, more out of her way.
"You lied to me," Loki says to his brother, surprised really. "I'm impressed."
"Glad your pleased, now take us to your pathway." Thor says glaring at Loki who just smiles shrugging going over to the steering wheel, his smile widening like a kid on Christmas as they zoom through the water with Asgardian's on the pursuit.
LOKI'D. I forgot to say happy new years/New years day everyone!
