Whoo! Didn't realized how much I love writing master servant stuff until I began this new ending. I think I might have a fetish.
Sidney love fiction: yes a very different take. It's her remaining his servant instead of him seeing her as the free spirit she was on earth, and broken :( she's not broken now and he has to find a way to allow himself to love her despite her being a servant this time.
Poodle warriors: this was how I original planned the story and had changed it last minute when I began posting it. Lol
Sorceress of the trees: I'm glad chapter two blended in. I had it as one of the ways this fic could have began when it first got started and decided to add it in this time around. I feel like my writing has changed quite a bit since I first started posting stuff.
Chapter 8
Loki watched her wipe his seed off her bare pubic area and belly. He had ordered her back into the water and she washed him first and then he watched her clean herself. It took him several reminders to himself to not have her completely during their time on the floor.
He was not a man to take such things of a women without consent. But yet the strange feelings brought out in him by the sceptre had wanted to. Had wanted him to dominate her completely and taint her fully with his seed. This was the downfall to handling the staff. It brought out in him emotions and feeling he wouldn't normally act upon.
He remembered his last night with her vividly. The smell of her hair and the way it tickled his face as he woke. He remembered how she lay awake there on his bed as he left. When he initially saw her come out of the bathroom he was stunned to see her and excited.
Once they were fully cleaned he climbed out and she followed in silence. He used his magic to produce his clothing while she made her way back into the bedroom and dressed in a large closet. He watched her. She adorned a lacy pink bra and underwear and shrugged on a short pink and white stripped dress. He found Midgardian clothing suited her but it also seemed unnatural.
She moved to place her hair in a braid but he stopped her. "Leave it down." He said and motioned for her to follow him. They entered the room he originally came in through, which was a living area. He could tell she was bursting with questions but he was in no mood to answer them. He had no need to answer to her curiosity and as his servant she deserved no answers anyway.
He looked out over the city of New York and she sat up on the bar top. He took notice of the bowl of apples and he felt suddenly jealous. Who else knew his songbird as he did? What had she been up to all this time stuck on earth? What men had she been keeping company with? Her reactions in the bathroom told him she remained pure but he didn't like people touching what he deemed as his. And she was his. He was her master and she his servant.
"You live here?" He finally asked trying not to sound as irritated as he felt.
"It's a temporary home when we are not in Miami." She replied.
"We?"
"My friends, housemates, Tony Stark and his women Pepper."
"You know them well?" He didn't look at her as he spoke. He could see her partial reflection in the window. She had her bare legs crossed and was playing with an apple between her palms.
"Well enough. They have always been good to myself and my family. For the passed fifteen years they have allowed us to live with them during our weeks here. And then when I got stuck here he allowed my extended stay."
"Your family did not stay here with you? They leave you in the care of Stark." The name Stark passed his lips a little more hateful then he meant.
"My family left before they knew I was trapped here." He could see her looking at him in the window and couldn't help but smile. She was sizing him up intensely. He was tempted to play with her again but he suspected soon Stark would show up. He wondered what his reaction would be to find his 'friend' withering beneath him. The thought of that piece of mischief made him grin a wicked grin.
He didn't have much time it would seem. He spied Stark flying up the building. "Stay." He commanded her as he went outside. He waited. It took a moment before stark spotted him and flew down to land on his dias. Loki followed keeping an eye of Stark. He entered the tower passing his little servant as she sat on the countertop.
"Hey pipsqueak. No asses on the bar top." He said to her.
"You didn't seem to care when you placed Peppers ass here." She retorted. She quickly seemed to remember Loki was there and looked down sheepishly. He was amused. Her freedom of speech on Midgard made her brazen.
"Please tell me you're going to appeal to my humanity." Loki said amused as he adjusted his hold on the sceptre.
"Uh...actually, I'm planning to threaten you." Tony corrected.
"You should have left your armor on for that." Loki almost laughed at the thought.
"Yeah, it's seen a bit of mileage. You've got the blue stick of destiny. Would you like a drink?" Tony offered as he grabbed down a bottle of amber liquid.
"Stalling me won't change anything." He warned him.
"No, no, no! Threatening. No drink? You sure? I'm having one." Loki turned from Tony to look out the window as he spoke next.
"The Chitauri are coming, nothing will change that. What have I to fear?" While Loki had his back turned he could partially see Tony in the reflection of the glass. He had leaned over the counter whispered something to Cephera and she nodded.
"The Avengers." Loki turned to give him a puzzled look. "It's what we call ourselves, sort of like a team. 'Earth's Mightiest Heroes' type of thing."
"Yes, I've met them." Loki could hardly contain his mocking tone.
"Yeah, takes us a while to get any traction, I'll give you that one. But, let's do a head count here. Your brother, the demi-God; a super soldier, a living legend who kind of lives up to the legend; a man with breath-taking anger management issues; a couple of master assassins, and you, big fella, you've managed to piss off every single one of them." Tony said pointing at Loki from behind the bar.
"That was the plan." Loki said a smile beaming on his face.
"Not a great plan. When they come, and they will, they'll come for you." Tony had stepped out from behind his bar, drink in hand.
"I have an army." Loki reminded Tony.
"We have a Hulk." Tony retorted.
"I thought the beast had wandered off." Loki said amused.
"You're missing the point. There's no throne, there is no version of this, where you come out on top. Maybe your army comes and maybe it's too much for us, but it's all on you. Because if we can't protect the Earth, you can be damned well sure we'll avenge it." Tony took a swig of his drink and Loki didn't miss the strange look that passed over Cephera's face. She was clearly confused as to what was happening.
"How will your friends have time for me, when they're so busy fighting you?" Loki pressed his staff to Tony's chest with a tiny clinking noise but nothing happened. "It should work!" Loki said after a second try.
"Well, performance issues. You know one out of five..." Loki grabbed Tony by the throat and tossed him to the floor. He would not be mocked.
"Jarvis, anytime now." Tony gasped as Loki grabbed him by the throat again and picked him up off the floor.
"You will all fall before me." Loki hissed.
"Jarvis now!" Tony yelled right before Loki threw him out the window.
"No!" Cephera cried and jumped from her spot to run passed Loki. Loki caught her by the waist angrily as Tony's suit flew passed them, knocking both to the down, her beneath him.
"Put aside your silly sentiment for these mortals. I've no use for a fool." He growled at her. He climbed back to his feet leaving her on the floor. He watched Stark come flying back up in a new suit.
"And there's one other person you pissed off! His name was Phil." Tony blasted Loki onto his back right before he was distracted by the portal opening in the skies above.
Cephera managed to get to her knees when Loki grabbed her up to stand. "You will not move from this room. When I return I expect you here." He said to her handling her roughly. She nodded.
He let her go and with a glare he headed back outside this time going the way Tony had come in. Cephera ran to the window. Her feet catching some of the broken glass and cutting her but she didn't care. She looked outside to see Loki magically adorn his royal armour and Thor land on the tower not to far from were she was looking out.
Watching them battle for real was unnerving. All she got from all this was Loki had an army. Was trying to take over earth and Thor along with some shield members were trying to stop him. Putting all this together she also assumed he was the person who stole the powerful cube Tony had mentioned before leaving her at the tower.
None if it made sense. What the hell happened while she was gone? Did they find out Loki was the one who let the Jotuns in? Was he banished just as Thor was? Was Thor even banished? She eyed Thor's royal armour as well. He didn't seem like someone cut off from Asgard. Confusion was the only current emotion she knew.
Watching the brothers fight and wound each other was heartbreaking. And when Loki stabbed Thor in the side she heard herself gasp loudly. Soon Loki was flying off on some aircraft belonging to the aliens she assumed was his army.
She viewed the destruction around the city from her high up point of view. She wanted to help but both the need to stay hidden and her loyalty to her wayward prince stopped her. She felt shame as all she did was watch.
She felt like she was watching for hours when Loki fell from the sky and landed outside on the balcony. He stood in time to have the hulk slam into him and send him crashing through another unbroken window and collide with the far wall.
Cephera was turned with her back flat to the glass. She hoped the green monster would not see her. She knew who he was. She had viewed some of Tony's files out of boredom when he had left. "ENOUGH!" Loki bellowed. "I am a god you daft creature...and I will not be bullied by..."
Cephera balked when the hulk grabbed Loki by the ankle and flung him back and forth into the marble floor as if he was a rag doll. "Puny god." He mocked as he passed Cephera by and jumped from the tower. She let out the breath she never knew she had been holding and ran to Loki's side.
He was groaning and he was clearly dizzy and unfocused. She did not heal him. This was not a power he knew she could do and so she downplayed her roll. "My prince?" She said unsure what to do. He did not look at her.
She stayed knelt beside him until he rolled over quite a while later. He began to pull himself across the floor. "You shouldn't move." She said getting to her feet and following him.
"Leave me be woman." He growled. She stepped in front of him while he collapsed on the stairs. He glared at her a moment as she squat down to place a hand on his shoulder. She noted his eyes were once more green. It was then she realized they had company. Loki looked over his shoulder and turned his body to look at all the assembled avengers. "If it's all the same to you. I'll have that drink now." Loki said defeated.
Cephera was in a empty room waiting. After Loki was arrested they were all brought to SHIELD's flying base. She had been placed separately from everyone. Thor had recognized her right away. The awkward moment was when Thor explained to Tony that she was Loki's personal servant. Tony had taken a fit.
He refused to allow Thor to take her back to Asgard. But Thor had insisted that she had to go back. It was Thor who walked in now. She looked up and stood and bowed quickly when she saw him.
"I was told by Heimdall that I was to bring you home once I captured Loki." He told her. "You may sit." He spoke to her just like he would a servant. Her position on earth not changing the way he viewed her. It was calming. For their relationship to change would have been awkward once she got back.
"I look forward to going home." She said. "If I may ask my prince.." She waited for permission to continue.
"You may." Thor said with a nod.
"What will happen to me when we get to Asgard. I mean Prince Loki will unlikely be allowed to roam free. Who will I serve?" She asked this with a fearful tinge in her voice.
"I am unsure. Loki will be punished for his crimes against this realm. I do not wish to seem rude but the outcome of your return is less then important considering the circumstances. I was surprised I was given direct orders to fetch you at all." She nodded. She understood his meaning. She knew the kings reasons for needing her back but Thor would not.
"I thank you for bringing me home." She said after a moment. "May I tend to Prince Loki while we wait for our departure." Thor looked to contemplate her request.
"He may be more receptive to you bringing him meals. This I will allow." She stood and bowed to him again.
She avoided Tony once she was given the food to bring to Loki. She could not handle his disapproving stares and sarcastic comments right now. She entered Loki's holding cell with Thor leading the way. Loki looked up. He was muzzled and chained.
Thor sealed the door. The room had a table, a bench and very large one way mirror. She suspected Tony might be on the other side. She placed the food down after a quick curtsy and reached out to remove the muzzle. Thor had already told her how.
His hair was still dirty and greasy against her wrists while she detached the muzzle. He watched her every move. When the muzzle came off he stretched his jaw and grinned. His immediate move shocked her instantly. His shackled hands pulled her forward by the dress.
She came to a stop when her knees hit the bench he sat on. "Do you think Stark watches us even now." He said to her in a whisper.
"Stop." She said sternly and pulled back. He allowed her to get away. She pushed the tray to him. "If you don't behave they will not allow me in here."
"Calm yourself. I was merely joking." His face scowled but his eyes held amusement only she could see. He looked to the tray of food and inhaled.
"If you don't eat it then you get nothing. That's what I am told." She added quickly. He shrugged.
"Are you often like this?" He asked titling his head at her. "So assertive, fiery." He smirked. "As amusing as it is I will not be so amused if you continue this attitude once we are home."
"Of course not my prince. I am simply feeling agitated. Trying to separate myself from Midgardian lifestyle and Asgards while still on this realm is difficult. I forget myself." She said all this casting her eyes down.
"Do not forget yourself once home." He warned her.
"I will not my prince." She said biting her lip. This all felt odd. Loki a prisoner, her a servant who technically had no master. She worried for her return to Asgard and she also craved it. To be away from the judging eyes of her friend was something she needed right now. Tony just didn't understand.
She waited for Thor to return. Thor placed the gag back on his brother and Cephera bowed and left behind Thor. "He ate. This is good." Thor said to her. "The people of Asgard have not been informed of his treachery from last year though the servants inside do. They have been put under oath to not speak of his crimes and this extends to you as well. Everyone thought him dead and we had decided to not tarnish his name. His return will be private but I would like to see him cleaned up before seeing our mother. It would not please her to see him in such a state as he is now." Thor paused and looked to her.
"May I have somewhere private to tend to him. Perhaps a room without cameras and one way mirrors. Guards posted outside would be fine." Thor pondered it.
"I will see what I can do. I can understand the people of this ship not taking to kindly to treating him with such kindness." Cephera nodded and was placed back in the room she had once occupied and was sealed in.
Thor had done a good job convincing them to allow Loki to use a shower. He was to stay manacled and gagged while guards waited outside. Still shackled it made it hard for him to wash himself so Cephera was allowed inside. She wore a Midgardian dress still and knew that above all else she was not to take it off. To get caught being in Loki's line of passion right now was not a good thing.
She entered behind Loki and when the door closed she led him into the shower and turned it on. Thor had allowed Loki to be released of his shackles to remove his clothes down to his pants before replacing his chains. Loki removed those pants now and stood in all his naked glory. He stepped under the sprayer while Cephera fished out the soap she was given. This had be quick.
"Kneel. I can't reach your head." She said to him after he wet his hair down. He looked at her his eyes amused but he knelt to face her. His fingers played with her dress as it was slowly becoming soaked. She ignored his playful hands and scrubbed his hair. She rinsed quickly. "Stand." She said a little more like an order then a suggestion. Loki's hand came up as he stood and seized her by the neck. He pressed her to the shower wall but he wasn't squeezing harmfully but his eyes held warning. "My apologizes." She said. He let her go. She continued her job in silence moving around him and cleaning everything which he also found amusing. What would Asgard be like without him. She didn't like the idea. How did she get so attached to him?
