The plane finally landed and Janna was grateful Loki didn't shoot them down. She saw him standing upon Stark Tower. Janna climbed out of the plane.

"I suggest you get as far away from New York as you can." She told the pilot as she left.

Once inside the tower she became invisible again and walked outside behind Loki.

"I could so push you from this building right now." She said.

Loki was staring out over the city when he heard the voice.

"So has the magical kitten come to expend more wisdom before me?"

He said the word kitten with contempt.

Turning around, he never really expected to see anything.

Janna decided it was about time Loki find out who the stranger was that toyed with him a few weeks before. She became visible and took a step towards him.

"Why? The 'God' wouldn't listen to me anyway." Janna said without amusement and shrugged her shoulders. She wanted to smack him for Phil, she would probably feel better if she did.

Loki looked at Janna and smirked. "And do I presume to wonder if we've met before."

Loki did not easily forget the humiliation that was the night at the bar.

"Hmm. Not that I recall. Only on that ship when you were in handcuffs. And when you refused some blueberries." Janna tilted her head to the side and looked innocently at him. Innocent just made Janna look even more guilty.

Loki took a step closer to her. "No, I believe we met even before that."

"Don't think so." Janna said moving closer to him. Phil was still on her mind.

Loki watched the woman closely, but was not expecting the move she made next. The woman slapped him across the face. Loki raised his hand to the point on his face where she touched him.

"That's for Phil." She said.

"And that will be the last time you touch me." His voice was steady and seemingly calm.

He was furious, but did not want to kill the girl just yet.

Janna felt better now. She knew Phil had to be sacrificed to bring the team together.

"And this is because you seriously need one." Janna fell into Loki and wrapped her arms around him, giving him a giant hug.

Loki's face twisted in confusion.

"Spare no pity for I'll spare none for you." He said trying to free himself from Janna's hug.

"For one to feel pity for another means the other must have had misfortunes fall on them. So you have no reason to feel pity for me." Janna giggled.

Loki would admit that the girl was stronger than he anticipated her to be, but when he saw Iron Man moving towards the tower, he shook himself out of her grasp.

"Misfortune will befall the people of this planet and everyone in my way." Loki said moving away from the girl.

Tony walked down the ramp into the house where Loki was waiting for him.

"Please tell me you're going to appeal to my humanity." Loki said walking into the room towards Tony.

"Uh...actually, I'm planning to threaten you."


"You will all fall before me!" Loki announced angrily.

Janna watched Tony fall.

She laughed and stood up to head back inside.

"We're here." Barton said pulling the plane near Stark Tower.

He aimed his guns at Loki through the broken window and fired.

The weapons missed, and Loki shot the plane with energy from his scepter. The right wing blew off, and the plane started its decent to the pavement below.

"You're afraid of a little bullets?" Janna laughed at Loki while she walked into the building.

"I fear nothing! Not you nor your world's 'heros'! I am untouchable!" A strange light glowed around him, and his Asgardian clothing morphed over him.

"Bring in the army." he mumbled and the tesseract beamed a light into the sky.

The sky seemed to rip open, and hundreds of chitari flew down onto earth.

"Me? Why should you fear me?" Janna laughed and headed to the back of the room. She heard a loud rumbling from the sky and turned invisible.

Thor shot down from the sky and landed on the balcony of Stark Tower. "Loki, turn off the Tesseract or I'll destroy it!"

Loki smiled at the girl, but his smile quickly faded as he heard the roar of thunder.

"You can't. There is no stopping it. There is only the war."


Loki stood up shakily and dusted himself off.

"I should have killed him when I had the chance." he grumbled referring to Clint Barton who had just shot him down.

"Yeah. You're not too bright are yah?" Janna said walking from the back of Stark Tower and over to Loki on the balcony. "You made him work for you and controlled him, but you didn't remember about his exploding arrows? What kind of memory do you have?"

Loki turned, not really shocked to see Janna standing there.

"You mock me now, but soon you will kneel like the rest."

Loki didn't really notice that his scepter was gone.

"And it truly is a waste; I must admit that your knowledge of the future was intriguing."

He looked over the city and smiled. The chaos and destruction was beauty to his senses.

"I'll kiss your boots now if that's what you want." Janna stood next to Loki and looked out over the city.

"But I'll be getting out of here soon. The Hulk doesn't care much for conversation...and he certainly doesn't think you're near as powerful as him. I can't really do anything about it, and don't want to get hurt in the process of your defeat."

The first comment threw Loki a little off guard.

"You turn sides so easily. First you slap me and now you tell me that you will kiss my shoes. How should you be trusted?"

"Hmm, shouldn't you have figured that out earlier when I slapped then hugged you?" Janna leaned into Loki's arm with her shoulder then stood straight again. "I'm neutral. I do nothing to help either 'side'."

Janna grinned, "I do what I want."

Loki was genuinely confused, but interested.

"Tell me then..." Loki circled Janna slowly like a lion circles its prey.

"What do you want right at this moment?"

"Well I was quite happy just standing here and talking to you." Janna only turned her head to keep Loki in her sight. "But I guess RIGHT now I want to poke you."

Janna raised her arm out to the side to try and do just what she wanted.

"Do not even attempt it." Loki said with a serious face.

This girl certainly was insane for even suggesting that.

"Too late." Janna said moving her finger towards his chest.

Janna was testing Loki. She was really curious to see what he would do. Hopefully she would still have an arm when this was over.

Loki grabbed her arm and drew her close.

"Do not test my patience mortal. You will discover I lack mercy."

He released her.

When Loki released her she didn't back up right away. He was the one who pulled her to him...She poked him in the diaphragm to back up.

"Poke..." She said quietly and giggled. "If you lack mercy then why is it you seem to run from every fight you end up in with Thor..."

She took a couple running steps backwards and looked over the city to see if Banner was on his way. Not quite yet...

"I do not run from Odin's son. I merely let him live."

Loki just looked at the spot she poked.

"Sure, sure. And you know, I won't think any less of you if you 'let him live'." Janna said turning invisible and heading for the bar.

Just then the Hulk smashed into Stark Tower and headed for Loki.
