Chapter Forty Three
"Here's how it goes," the Chitauri leader said. "If you don't obey our wishes, we will kill this girl."
Since it was my real body, I realized too late to hide myself when the Chitauri found us.
They could see me.
"And if I follow your commands, she will remain unharmed?" Loki asked.
I was terrified. I didn't want to die. I wanted to be heroic, like in the stories, and tell Loki not to listen. And then I stopped, and thought, What would Rissa do?
Not the Rissa that was an orphan, and a fangirl. The Rissa that was brave and curious enough to step into the Tardis. Who was foolish enough to go to different universes, and sweet enough to make one huge family made of amazing people.
What would that Rissa do?
"Loki," I said gently. "They're going to kill me anyway." The second that I said it, I realized that it was true. I could see it in their eyes. I was going to die anyway.
I wonder where I would go. Maybe I'd go to the Heaven in the Supernaturalverse. Who knows? I wonder if the Doctor could visit me there. I left him all alone for a while. I haven't checked in lately either. I hope he's okay.
I shouldn't have expected Loki to let it go. He was raised by Odin and Frigga anyway, and he'd always protect those that he'd considers family.
I was kind of honored, actually.
But it was too late. Loki agreed to those terms, and went to Earth.
And the destruction began.
...
After he had kidnapped Barton and Dr. Selvig, he used the scepter that the Chitauri gave him to communicate.
"I want to see her," Loki said.
"No," the Chitauri said.
"How am I to know that you're keeping up your end of the bargain?" Loki asked.
"Fine," the Chitauri said. Rissa appeared in his vision. She appeared okay, but she gave him a sad and worried face. She was worried about him.
...
He fought the Avengers. And when they defeated him and stopped the Chitauri, Loki didn't know what to do. In some ways, he was happy that the Avengers had managed to stop him. He definitely knew that that would have made Rissa happy.
At the end, when they were preparing to go back to Asgard, Thor pulled Loki aside and asked, "Where is Rissa, brother?"
"I don't know," Loki said. "I lost her."

Thank you to that person that commented, even though you don't have an account! You're a beautiful soul, and I'd love to know your name, or something. Anyway, good luck to all of you with school, because midterms are next week.
