Munchkin – Loki
I was wandering down the restricted part of the Helicarrier as my curiosity had gotten the better of me. I came across a door with a glass panel near the top, making me try to stretch up on my tip toes; but I was still too short. I huffed in annoyance and decided to teleport inside, making myself invisible as I did so no one would know I was here when I shouldn't be. I realised this was like a prison area s I saw a glass containment cell, spiking my interest even more. I stepped closer and let out a shocked gasp as I realised a man was in there, making his head snap up to look around.
"Who's there?" I shuffled over to the side near the door again, holding my breath as his gaze followed my movement. Was I really that loud at walking? The man stood from his seat and walked up to the glass of the cell, seeming to look right at the area I was standing with a frightened look on my face. He couldn't really see me, could he?"
"Ow!" I tripped over my feet and thumped my head into the wall, making me curse before realising that I was now visible again; meaning that the strange man in the cell would be able to see me. I slowly shifted my gaze over to him only to see his gaze already piercing into me, making me shrink back slightly against the wall. "Um, hi."
"Where did you come from?" he questioned, making me turn shy as his blue eyes seemed to stare at me intensely.
"I was outside and then came in here through the door."
"The door never opened, you just suddenly appeared." He walked closer to the glass pane, but I stayed in my position by the wall. "Did you teleport?" I jaw dropped open slightly at the accuracy of his guess, making a smirk tilt his lips upwards at the corner. "You did, didn't you? You must have been good to get in here in the first place, I hear it's restricted."
"Invisibility." I mumbled, looking away from him. I felt a gently brush on the top of my head and looked up, thumping into the wall again as I tried jumping backwards when I found him standing right in front of me. "H-how did you…? What?"
He chuckled at my confusion and I looked up at him as he seemed to study me, making me feel slightly self-conscious.
"You are very small, not cut out to be a warrior I think. More like an information seeker with the ability to not be seen when breaking into a room they are not allowed to enter."
"I'm not telling." I squeaked, seeming to amuse him greatly as his smirk widened, revealing straight white teeth. He reached out towards me and I disappeared, reappearing on the other side of the room which made him laugh deeply.
"Do I scare you little one?" I shook my head, even though that was a lie. I saw him about to say something again, but was cut off by Stark yelling from somewhere else in the Helicarrier.
"Munchkin? Where are ya darlin'?" Tony yelled, making me sigh in slight relief before glancing back at the man once more and teleporting to where the voice of my friend had sounded; appearing right in front of Tony and making him jump back. "What have I told you about doing that?" he chuckled, ruffling my hair before taking me to where a meeting was happening.
My mind kept drifting off to the man in the cell, I know I was wrong to go there without permission and without anyone knowing; but as they say curiosity killed the cat. Not quite yet it didn't.
