"Because of your banishment he was forced to become king, but STILL he was hidden in your shadow. Your friends would not stand for your banishment and they would not accept Loki as their king. They came to earth looking for you. He could not stand it, he was furious! He kept trying to escape your shadow, but no matter what he did he couldn't!" Janna stood up and began to walk around the table. "YOUR shadow was always-"

Thor was furious. Who was this girl to come in there and tell him all this? In but a split second his arm was to her neck and she was slammed against the wall with an audible crash.

"How do you know this mortal?! Who told you this? Loki was my brother! He was my equal! We fought together!" He shouted.

"Mortal...cough...can't breathe..." Janna wheezed a bit scared.

"Who told you all this?!" Thor said again and backed away from her.

Janna fell to one knee coughing with a hand on her throat. There was a nice sized dent in the wall from where she had been.

'Okay...' Janna thought. 'Maybe I should let him calm down and talk to him about this later...'

Janna looked up at Thor who was breathing heavily and as she did she flickered invisible for a moment before remaining invisible. She pushed herself to her feet and got out of there.


"Shakespeare in the Park?" When Thor looked confused, Tony went on.

"Doth mother know you weareth her drapes?"

Thor seemed angry about that one and raised his hammer to the sky, summoning a bolt of lightning. When it was fully charged he released it towards Tony.

The strike jolted the suit.

"Power to 400% capacity." Jarvis said inside the helmet.

"How about that?" Tony said sending the blast back at Thor.

Loki just watched from his 'seat'.

Thor was blasted back into a couple trees and got back up. He flew at Tony.

Janna finally neared the ground enough and she opened her parachute, landing lightly behind Loki. She unhooked the parachute and sat down beside him, her feet hanging over the edge of the cliff.

She pulled out the blueberries they had and ate a few.

"Blueberry?" She asked Loki. "They didn't have any popcorn."

Loki looked at the blueberries with disgust; mostly because he really didn't know what they were. "I will accept no offering from you." he said stubbornly.

"More for me then." Janna smiled and munched on the blueberries while watching the fight below. "Oh look, here comes the Cap now. Better not ask Thor to put down his hammer. He won't like that."

The Captain landed on a branch and jumped down into the clearing the two had made.

"Prove it. Just put the hammer down." Captain America said.

Loki watched as the scene played just as the girl said it would.

"Tell me, how did you guess that would happen?" Loki hadn't been this intrigued since...well he'd rather not think about that humiliation.

"YOU didn't want a blueberry." Janna said popping one into her mouth and watching the fight.

Loki scowled. Even if this girl was interesting, she was still bothersome.

"-Oops. Looks like they'll be back shortly to collect you. All done trying to macho." Janna said, seeing the three Avengers climbing to their feet. "Too bad. I was enjoying it."

"You know, I'm pretty sure your plan for the ship is going to backfire on you. They may get mad at each other for a few minutes, but then they're going to join together to stop you." Janna stood up from her spot and walked to meet the others as they walked up the cliff. She still had the blueberries in her hands and was still eating them.

"Sorry Stark. They didn't have any popcorn, so I stole the blueberries."

"Those were my special secret stash!" Stark whined.

"What were you doing down here?" The Captain asked Janna.

"Well I knew you guys would be fighting so I had to watch the captive." Janna laughed. "Just leaving him alone while you guys went at it. It was a perfect opportunity for him to escape."

"Hmph." Thor walked past the girl and grabbed Loki by the arm to pull him up to his feet.

Loki watched the girl carefully. He'd still make his plan work, and it didn't really matter if the ship still floated afterwards; his mission was to send them a warning. And warn them he would.
