Just a quick chapter to remind myself that other characters heave feelings too. Please enjoy.
The entire S.H.I.E.L.D. base was in frenzy. Their prisoner had escaped and taken the girl Elizabeth with him. Coulson looked like his calm facade might slip, the Captain was trying to calm down the angry Thor while Bruce was standing in a corner rubbing his temples. Tony was drinking some manner of alcohol Natasha was speaking to an irritated Nick Fury and Clint was nowhere to be seen, as usual.
Fury suddenly slammed his hand down on the table. Everyone was instantly silent and fury met the eyes of each Avenger before continuing. "We cannot go after him without informing the Asgardians.
Thor nodded. "I will be going to speak with the Allfather today. I will ask Heimdal if he can tell me where Loki has gone. I will be back tomorrow with news." With that, he turned and headed outside. Everyone else followed.
In a flash of light and a rush of wind, he was whisked away. The rest of the team trudged into the building. No one spoke till they had reached the Stark/Avengers tower.
"I think we ought to be finding them now. Not waiting for a diplomatic intervention. Loki is a madman. I've been under the control of a mad man before. It's not pleasant." Stark poured himself another drink. Natasha nodded a silent agreement and Steve let his concern finally show through his stoic mask.
"We don't know where to look." Came a voice above them. Clint had gone up the stairs and was sitting on the highest railing. Natasha shot him glare.
Steve spoke up now. "We have to wait till Thor returns before we can help Elizabeth."
...
Thor was irritated. Frigga greeted him warmly but he would have to wait till the next morning to speak with him. Thor retired to his room to wait.
