She had no idea what she had missed in the time it took for her holy energy to battle the black magic that had invaded her system, just that when she woke up, it was pure chaos. Her movements were sluggish as she sat up, no longer on the top of Stark Tower, but a few floors down, laying a top a pile of rubble, pain tearing thorough her system.
With black tinged vision, she took in her surroundings. She was four floors down from where she had been when she had come under magical attack. From the pain in her body, she had fallen down here. With a wince, she sat up rubble and debris falling from her person. She let her aura flare, getting an asset of what was going on.
They were still under attack.
Loki and Thor were fighting above her.
They had no personal losses yet.
And everything in her body hurt.
She took a mere minute to hold a hand to her forehead, cursing her life – her curse – before getting up. With narrowed eyes, she took in her broken and splintered bow and quiver. Luckily, she, like her mentor and the Black Widow, had other weapons hidden on her body.
With a low grumble, for she loved her bow, she pulled twin daggers from a pouch on her belt and with grit teeth, made her way to the top floor. Fully ready to, not only punch Loki in the face, but to do so, so much more. She may have pitied him, but pity would only stretch so far. She was not like his brother who forgave everything he did with a laugh.
With sore muscles, she made her way to the roof, kicking the door open, and ready to throttle Loki yet she paused at the sight that met her.
Wide blue eyes took in Thor, as he smirked down at his brother, his magical hammer resting on his chest. Voiding any and all attempt at getting away be it physical or magical. It was almost comical and did not belong as a war raged on around them.
"What the hell?" Her voice was strained, if it would have been this easy to subdue the God, why wait until now to do it?!
Thor could feel the anger in the young woman's voice and knew it was justified, but to be honest, he had no idea his hammer could hold his brother in place, only discovering it after slamming it into his chest, getting a slash across his chest in return from that damnable staff. They both fell to the ground, a tangle of limbs, harsh words, and pain.
After the dust had settled, he had found Loki literally trapped under his hammer and despite the grave situation, he had let out a loud laugh watching his mighty 'I'm-going-to-be-king' brother struggle to get out from under his hammer. It brought back memories of old and how he wished they could go back to those days. Yet they could not, not yet. It would take centuries for their wounds to heal and though he was ready to wait that long, he knew his brother would fight it every step of the way.
Thus was his nature.
"I did not know this would happen, it was an unexpected, yet welcome surprise." His words rang with truth and instead of getting mad at him and wasting more time, she merely stepped to the trapped God, pulled her foot back and kicked.
Hard.
She smirked as he let out a strangled hiss of pain, his eyes promising retribution. With a dark look in her eyes, ignoring Thor, she squatted down next to him, her hand over his which held his damn staff and whispered low in his ear.
He had been mortified to find himself so easily trapped, it was an insult – no doubt thought up by the all Father, and it made him flush with rage. How dare they?! To make matters worse, his brother found it humorous and the young woman had delivered a solid kick to his side, her powers sinking into his flesh to cause even more damage.
He narrowed his pitch black eyes as her breath fanned over his ear, causing goosebumps to rise on his flesh. He grit his teeth as one small pale hand fisted in his hair and pulled on it, her other hand sizzling over his which gripped his staff.
"Long live the King of Fools." Those were the last words he heard before she grabbed a fistful of his hair and slammed it into the ground. Darkness consumed him, electric blue eyes dancing in his vision as he gave in to it.
The mewling quim...
AN: Slight AU again, in this Thor did not know his hammer would keep his brother pinned. Also only three chapters left! Lets make them count! Huzzah! Also sorry about the lapse in updates, work has been eating up my time. DX
