A God's Princess
Fifteen: Assemble
In the Hellicarrier they were all done hearing Loki talking to Director Fury and Thor couldn't shake this feeling that something else was going on. If he could just get to Jacqueline maybe both of them could get to Loki.
"That's why he needs Erik Selvig for." Dr. Banner said.
"Selvig?" Thor asked.
"He's an astrophysicist…"
"He's a friend." Thor told him.
"Loki has him under a type of spell along with one of ours." Natasha told him.
"I want to know why Loki let us take him; he is not leading an army from here." Captain Rogers said.
"I don't think we should focus on Loki." Dr. Banner said. "That guys brain is a bag full of cats you can smell crazy on him."
"Have care how you speak." Thor told him. "Loki is beyond reason but he is of Asgard and he is my brother."
"He killed 80 people in two days." Agent Romanoff told him.
"He's adopted." Thor knew if Jack found that out he was going to get smacked. He tuned them out for a bit because he was thinking some way of getting to Jacqueline.
#
Loki could feel the staff's power but the real Loki came out for a little while and he sent the dream to Jacqueline hoping that she would understand that he was in danger. He didn't want her to be in danger but he needed the help and she was going to be the only one help him, maybe Thor but he was rather doubtful about that.
#
Bunny and Jack sat on the bed it was still night and a few minutes after the dream and Jack was still shaking.
"It was just a dream Jacqueline." Bunny told her.
"I…I know but it seemed real." She told him.
"What was it about?" Bunny asked her.
"Someone I know was asking for my help." Jack told him. Bunny was thinking that maybe it was Old Man Winter but it could also be Fool and Eve since he knew they were close friends.
"Well I was going ta give it to ya in the morning but aye don't think ya will be going back to sleep." He told her. Jack looked at him as he got up and left the room and she felt kind of disappointed by that.
He came back in and had something in his hands it was a medium size sack the color was blue-gray and it had a silver string closing it.
"What is that?" she asked him.
"Well ya see I gave one ta each of the Guardians, North, Tooth, and Sandy, now this one is yours." He aid giving the sack to her. Jack took it and looked at him. "They're herbs I grow in the Warren and my people use to grow they heal every ailment ya can think of, I have given Tooth and North over the years since they use it more healing the Yetis or the Tooth Fairies from injuries."
"Wow." She told him and blushed a bit because it shouldn't feel special but it did. "I feel bad I can't give you something, Bunny." She told him feeling sheepish. Bunny looked at her.
"Ya don't have ta." He told her. Jack got up and walked toward him and caught him off guard by hugging him by the neck and Bunny it surprised him, he hugged her back and enjoyed the hug. "I also wanted ta talked ta ya about something." Jacqueline looked at him.
"Okay, besides the cool present which I will so be using." She told him with a smile. Bunny got serious and she noticed.
"I wanted ta apologize." Jacqueline looked at Bunny with wide eyes it was something he noticed.
"There's nothing you have to apologize for." She told him not exactly remembering.
"Ya I do, Sheila." He told her and grabbed her hand. "I want ta apologize for what I said to ya about no one believing on ya."
"You weren't exactly lying." She tells him. Bunny took a deep breath.
"It was still wrong, Sheila ta say I know what it feels like now when no one sees ya and ya took it for 300 years."
"It's not like I spent much here anyway." She says and corrects herself. "You know with me being with Old Man Winter or in Antarctica."
"I also wanted ta apologize for screaming at you on Easter." He told her and Jacqueline looked at him.
"I did mess up, plus you were angry at not being seeing I was your fall girl is not the first time it happens." She told him and saw him winced at that, she winces also. She touches his paw. "Don't worry but thank-you for apologizing; now let's go see if North still has cookies." She says and flies always to the kitchen. Bunny smiles her way and shakes his head.
#
Back in the Hellicarrier Thor had asked Agent Coulson about none other than is love. Coulson showed him one of the screens.
"As soon as Loki took Selvig we moved Jane Foster." He told her. "They've got an excellent observatory in Tromso. She was asked to consult there very suddenly yesterday. Handsome fee, private plane very remote. She'll be safe." And that was something Thor sadly wanted to hear because he didn't want the love of his life to be in any kind of danger.
"Thanks." Thor told him. "It's no accident, Loki taking Erik Selvig I dread what he plans for him once he's done." Thor said with sadness. "Erik is a good man."
"He talks about you a lot." Coulson said and they walked a bit. "You changed his life. You changed everything around here."
"They were better as they were." Thor said because he knew if he wouldn't have gotten exiled, but no he couldn't think of that. "We pretend on Asgard that we're more advanced but we come here battling like bildge snipe."
"Like what?" Coulson asked.
"Bilge Snipe. You now, huge, scaly, big antlers." He said. "You don't have those?"
"I don't think so." Coulson told her.
"Well they are repulsive.' He said walking to the windows. "And they trample everything in their path. When I first came to Earth, Loki rage followed me here. And your people paid the price and now again." He said "In my youth I courted war." he said looking outside.
"War hasn't started yet." Thor looked up to see the Director looking at him. "You think you could make Loki tell us where the Tesseract is?"
"I don't know Loki's mind is far afield." Thor told him. "It's not just power he craves its vengeance upon me. There is no pain would prise his need from him."
"A lot of guys think that until the pain starts." Fury told him.
"What are you asking me to do?" Thor asked.
"I'm asking, what are you prepared to do?"
"Loki is prisoner."
"Then why do I feel like he's the only person on this boat that wants to be here?" The man wasn't wrong but Thor had a feeling he knew of someone that could help but he would not put her in danger
$LINE BREAK, LINE BREAK$
In the morning in the North Pole, Jack looked to the outside. She felt uneasy, it was a weird feeling something she couldn't shake. She sat by the window and made up her mind she needed to leave, to go and think. She was about to jump but a voice stopped her.
"Jacqueline, where are you going?" she looked up to see Tooth.
"I'm going to see Star I left her with Old Man Winter and I miss her." Jacqueline told her it was a lie and she would so feel bad about it later but she couldn't tell her the truth, especially since they didn't know all of it.
"Oh, aren't you going to stay for breakfast?" Tooth asked.
"Maybe another time, I have to go can you tell everyone I said bye, thanks Tooth." She said not letting her talk and just leaving. Tooth stayed by the window and saw as Jack left. They did need to talk to Jacqueline there were things the Guardians needed to know. Tooth knew that Jack was still getting used to the idea of family but she needed to give them a chance.
#
In the air Jack let the wind take her nowhere exactly. She didn't know what to do.
'Jacqueline help me.' Loki's voice came back to her.
She was going to head to Antarctica but as she crossed the ocean she saw something or should she say someone's. She saw two ravens and they were two that she knew, what where Hunin and Munin doing on Midgard.
"Wind let's follow them." She says. The birds take her something she didn't know. But as she got closer she felt Thor's energy. She looked to see a boat in the air. "That so can't be the Flying Dutchman." She says of the ghost ship she knows off. The ravens go in there and she follows them to see people shooting. She moves out of their way and looks to find Thor.
She follows for something. She sees a blond head one she knows. Thor seems to be in a hurry so Jack just follows him. She seems someone pointing a gun at her and she makes the ground icy making them slip getting the bullets to go to the roof
"No!" she hears Thor scream and Jacqueline runs faster than anyone can. She found him in a room and he was inside a crystal room.
"Human think us immortals should we test that." It was Loki's voice. Jack turned to see Loki standing next to a panel.
"Step away please." She turned to see an older man with a gun in his hands looking at Loki. That seems to snap Jacqueline out of it. She walks inside the room and looks at Loki. Coulson who is standing there sees the girls standing there with a staff and wearing clothes close to Loki and Thor. 'Another Asgardian' he thinks but she doesn't seem dangerous and seemed to be in shock. "You like this it was created the last time you were here."
"Loki?" Jack says. The clone looks at her and seems weirded out. Jacqueline notices that his eyes are ice blue instead of emerald green.
"Jacqueline stay away from him, our brother is not of sound mind." Thor screams at her. Coulson is standing there and he is shocked.
"Sister, I have no sister." Loki says. Jack looks at Thor and they both see Loki stab the man in the back.
"No!" Both Jack and Thor scream. Jack reacts as if it was anyone hurting anyone and she shots an ice blast toward fake-Loki(because that is what she is calling him) hard enough to make him smack the wall with his head. They spear is covered in ice, she froze it. She runs to the man in the wall.
"Oh my Odin, oh my Odin." She tells him. She opens his shirt and Coulson shivers at the cold.
"Y...You can't help." He tells her.
"I….I." She doesn't know how to help him. She tries to get her gloves, when she touches the bag hanging on her bag. "The herbs!" She says.
"T…The what?" Coulson says. Jack doesn't say anything she grabs the bag and opens his shirt a bit big so she can see the wound. Bunny told her that the herbs would heal anything. She grabbed a little bit of the herbs and she notices how they fused with her own magic. She dabs them across the wound and Coulson notices how cold they are and he gasps when he feels something. Jack sees how the herbs seem to be seeping inside and closing the wound. Jack goes to see Thor.
"How do I open this?" she asks him.
"Right there is the key." He points to the screen. Jack goes to it and touches something to see the ground open. Coulson looks and he tries to get up which he does successfully, it surprises him because he was sure he was supposed to be dead. She looks down and sees nothing there. He moves to the panel and closes the doors before opening the door to let Thor out.
"What did you do?" Coulson asks the girl pointing to were now is a scar.
"I…I actually don't know." She tells him.
"Jacqueline, what are you doing here?" Thor asks her.
"I followed Hunin and Munin they brought me here." Jack tells him. "What is wrong with Loki?"
"He has been overcome by madness of power." Thor tells her. Jacqueline got closer to Loki and touched him, but she was repelled.
"Ah!" she screamed. Her body was getting warm, she went to her knees. it was enough to wake up Loki.
"What have you done?" Thor demanded. Loki looked at her and the one in his mind was trying to break through. He screamed and then it was as if something snapped and Loki looked at Jack.
"Jacqueline!" Loki said and murmured a spell to get her back to her normal temperature. Jack looks at him.
"Loki your back to normal." She tells him.
"Loki?" Thor looks at him.
"We have to stop them they are going to open the portal, they wanted me to lead the attack." Loki tells them.
"I thought you wanted it." Thor said.
"Our sister loves this place; I like this place why would I want to destroy it." Loki tells him. Coulson stands there frozen. "It's because I am a Frost Giant isn't it?"
"No, brother." Thor says.
"Loki, you are our brother." Jack tells him and holds his hand. "Plus I'm adopted too and I love you and Thor alike." Loki smiles at her and Jack hugs him.
"What is going on?" Coulson asks. Loki turns to him and he seems repentant.
"I apologize for stabbing you in the back that was not honorable of me." Loki tells him.
"Okay you need to explain everything." Coulson says. Some soldiers come with their guns ready to fire but Jack being who she is freezes the ground and makes them slip.
"We must stop them." Loki says.
#
They all walked together to the main room. Tony and Steve were sitting in the table with Fury.
"What the hell?" Fury says as he sees Loki come in. all the agents point their guns at him, Steve stands up ready for a fight and Tony is close to calling back his suit.
"Stop!" Coulson says.
"Coulson is compromise." Fury says.
"Loki has news we need." Thor says.
"Since when, and who is Snowflake right there." Tony asks. Jacqueline looks at him.
"Watch how you speak about my sister." Thor tells them, making all of them look at Jack making her blush blue. "She has returned Loki to our side."
"What do you mean Thor?" Captain America asked because he has seen a lot of things but this is weird for him.
"I believe I would be best to answer that Captain." Loki says. Jacqueline plays closer attention to the man in the blue shirt and she speaks before Loki can start.
"Hey I know you, but shouldn't you be much older I swear I saw you in World War Two." Jacqueline tells him because she had been in that War and it was something she wished to unseen. Tony laughs as she sees Steve blush.
"Well Snowflake he was busy being a Capsicle for seventy years, but aren't you a little young, what you look sixteen." Tony tells her.
"I thought it was rude to ask a girl her age." Jacqueline tells him. "And my name is Jacqueline by the way, Mister Stark."
"Oh you know me." Tony says with a smile.
"A lot of people talk about you." Jack says.
"If you two are done we want to get back to business." Fury says.
"Oops." Jack says.
"Now explain Reindeer Games." Tony says.
"When I fell off the Bifrost, I landed in a dark place where I tried to get out, but I didn't know it would cost me control. The Other as the one sending the Chitauri he got into my mind and I couldn't get out. He used what I knew and I was angry but I didn't mean for this to happen." Loki told them.
"Brother, we can fix this together." Thor tells him.
"Okay so you were made into a zombie, how can we stop them?" Tony asked.
"I don't know, we needed a source of energy one strong enough to sustain itself." Loki told them.
"Hey the only that can do that is Stark Tower according to the entire buzz." Jack pipes into the conversation and everyone looks at her. "What I actually know how to read you know."
"Son of bitch." Tony says. "JARVIS, lock down Stark Tower no one is to go inside."
"I'm sorry sir but someone already is." JARVIS tells him.
"We need to stop the portal from opening." Steve says.
"I'm doing this for the people, like Pepper and the good ones, Fury not for you." Tony says getting ready.
"Go, seek redemption, Loki." Jack tells Loki. "Good luck Thor." She tells him.
"Are you not coming?" Captain America asks.
"I can't, I'll be seeing you guys from here." Jack tells him.
"Be careful." Thor says. "Son of Coul the safety of our sister is in your hands."
"Take care of her." Loki tells him, he squeezes Jack's shoulder.
"Okay." Coulson told him. Thor and Loki leave together.
"Okay I want eyes on the sky everyone on New York." Fury orders. Everyone begins to move as all of them leave. Jack gets close but she doesn't touch anything. Coulson gets close behind her.
"Why didn't you go?" he asks.
"I can't go Son of Coul it is dangerous for me to go." She tells him.
"Oh well are you a Goddess?" Phil asks because he needs the information.
"Um…no." she tells him and then blushes. "Well I'm not but according to Dad, Mom, Thor and Loki I am in their eyes, you know but I'm not." Phil doesn't show a smile but it seems like the girl is the favorite.
"Hmm…well Goddess or not you save my life and didn't take out Fury's good eyes." he says and Jacqueline laughs and covers it quickly when the woman and Fury turn to look at them.
"No thanks necessary, Son of Coul; I am positive if you had perished in battle you would have been welcome in Valhalla." Jack tells him.
They all move to see the screens and they sees the fight going on. Jack is disgusted by the Chitauri army but everyone seems to move trying to help. Thor and Loki are using their gifts to take the army down.
Jack is surprised but she is more shocked at the Hulk. She thinks it's cool but knew not to say out loud.
"We need to shut that portal." Stark says.
"Have you found a way?" Fury asks.
"Sir Doctor Selvig says Loki's staff is the key to shut the portal." Black Widow says.
"Thor says that Jacqueline froze the staff." Captain America says.
"Oh, right I got it." she said and ran toward the room. Coulson was right behind her.
"How are you going to get there?" Coulson asks.
"Flying there, can you open the floor for me please?" she asks. Jack looks at the staff and concentrates, it is easy to freeze but to unfreeze it is a pain and it took her centuries to figure it out after she froze one of the horses by mistake. "Okay got it." she says. Coulson opens the door.
"Good luck Jacqueline." He tells her.
"Thanks." She says and dips down the hole. "Wind, let's go to New York." She says and it is fast to catch her and they are flying toward New York City.
#
She arrives and she is about to be attacked when Thor electrocutes them. Jack moves and throws the staff at the Black Widow. She goes down to help Loki, they stand back to back and they take down the things with ice. Jack throws her knifes and hits them right on the face making some of them freeze that Thor is able hit them with the hammer and Steve is able to hit them with the shield. Jack takes some hits but she doesn't mind. All of them get beaten and bruised trying to fight these things off that don't seem to stop coming.
"Okay I can close it, I can shut the portal down can anybody copy?" Natasha asks.
"Do it." Captain America says.
"No, wait." Tony says.
"Stark these things are still coming." Captain America says.
"I have a nuke coming; it's going to blow less than a minute." Tony tells them. He goes to get the bomb. "And I know just where to put it."
"Stark you know that is a one way trip?" Captain America says.
"Save the rest for the turn J." Tony says.
"Sir, shall I try Miss Potts?" JARVIS asks.
"Might as well." Tony says. As Tony gets in everyone looks up at the sky as he goes. Tony goes inside and lets the nuke go as everything in his suit goes black and he loses air.
In the bottom every one of the Chitauri are taken down. And everyone one of them is surprised by it. They wait for Iron Man to come back and see nothing.
"Come on Stark." Natasha says.
Thor, Loki and Jack turn to look at Captain America for his decision.
"Close it." he says.
As Natasha closes the portal the Iron Man suit comes down.
"Son of a gun." Captain America says. They all look up.
"He's not slowing down." Thor says swinging Mjolnir in his hands.
"Can the wind slow him down?" Loki asks Jacqueline.
"I don't know." Jack says.
Before she can say anything else, the Hulk grabs Iron Man in his arm. They drop and Hulk pulls Iron Man off of him. The four of them run toward Iron Man and Thor rips the mask off of him.
"Can you do what you did for Son of Coul?" Thor asks When Steve checks for a heartbeat he hears nothing.
"I don't think…" she can't finish the sentence because her eyes well up in tears that don't come down. They all look at Tony before the Hulk roars at Tony's form.
"Ah! what the hell?" they all look at Tony ad couldn't help but smile. "What just happened, Please tell me nobody kissed me."
"We won." Steve says
"Alright, hey god job guys." Tony says. "Let's just not come in tomorrow, let's just take a day…Have you ever tried Shawarma?" Tony asks. "There's a Shawarma joint two blocks from I don't know what it is, but I want to try it."
"Yes this is something worth celebrating, I have new shield brothers, my brother, sister and I have been reunited it's time to celebrate." Thor says.
#
It is later that they get Banner some clothes and everyone moved with Tony to the Shawarma place where the owners let them in. everyone sits down and order their food. Tony is the first to notice something is wrong.
"Hey we need another plate." Tony says. The lady goes and puts it on his side and Tony puts it in the middle of Thor and Loki, where Jack is sitting down. It takes a few minutes before the lady gasps because she sees the girl sitting there.
"I'm sorry dear I didn't know you could turn invisible." The lady tells her.
"No problem." Jack tells her. Once she leaves everyone turns to look at her.
"Not many people can see me, I'm invisible to them as if I don't exist." She explains.
"Oh." Steve says.
They ate their food in peace just taking in the tiredness of them. Jack laid her head in Loki's arm and Loki just smiled it was nice to be with his family.
