AN: I'm glad some seem to be enjoying this so far!
Here's chapter 2!
I figured I would upload it today, since this weekend is going to be a little busy for me.
I actually already have a few chapters completed for this story already, but I'm going to space out releasing them. Especially since I'm still writing the last couple chapters.
I'll most likely release a chapter every weekend. (maybe sooner if I magically get a ton of reviews or something)
But yeah! R & R!
Today was just a busy day for Sookie Stackhouse. First she was kidnapped by a secret agency to save the world from an evil god, and now she was on her way, in a jet, to Stuttgart, Germany to help capture said god. Germany, of all places!
"Is it really okay for me to go to Germany? I mean I don't have a passport." Sookie asked nervously for the umpteenth time. She never flew before, and she didn't like it one bit.
Steve, who was now in his Captain America uniform, and Bruce, who was wearing a suit and tie, chuckled from their seats across from her.
"Yes, you'll be okay, Sookie. Just relax and pretend you belong at the party." Bruce smiled, "Once we figure out where Loki is, Steve will apprehend him and we'll head back."
Sookie gulped and nodded.
"By the way, I must say you look very lovely, Sookie." Steve flashed his boyish smile once again.
Sookie looked down at the dress Natasha gave her to wear. It was a nice white dress with an emerald silk ribbon around the waist and gold flowers embroidered into the skirt. It was a beautiful dress.
"Thanks, Steve." she smiled up at him.
Once they landed on the ground, Bruce escorted Sookie into the party. Their forged invitations working like a charm. Sookie felt so dangerous right now. Like she was really a secret agent.
When they were inside, they blended in by dancing.
"I apologize a head of time for my two left feet." Bruce joked as he waltzed Sookie around, making the telepath giggle.
"No, I think you're a good dancer." Sookie smiled reassuringly.
As they continued to dance, Sookie stuck to the plan. While blending in, she would listen for Loki. She figured his thoughts would be loud due to whatever evil intent he was planning. After awhile though nothing seemed to happen, and Sookie was getting thirsty.
"Should we go get something to drink?" Bruce inquired.
Sookie nodded, and they headed to the bar. Bruce ordered a water, while Sookie ordered a Gin & Tonic. They then moved to a few seats that were set up to the side.
With the alcohol in her system, Sookie felt a little more at ease so she took in the large room. There was several statues and paintings. It was actually pretty nice.
As she took a sip of her drink, Sookie suddenly felt something like a slither of a snake in the back of her mind. It made the hairs on the back of her neck stand on end and a cold chill run up her spine. When she looked for the source, that's when she saw him.
He stood at the top of the stairs in a suit, with a green scarf, holding a cane. His black hair slicked back and his green eyes looking over the crowd below. His eyes soon zeroed in on someone in the room, and Sookie could feel a wave of triumph before he smirked and practically skipped down the steps. Sookie recognized him from his picture now that he was a little closer. It was Loki.
Before Sookie could alert Bruce, Loki used his cane to bludgeon the guard at the bottom of the steps. Knocking him out with one blow. The party goers gasped and screamed, while Sookie's hand flew to her mouth in horror.
In seconds, Loki had a man by his throat and flipped him onto a stone table looking statue, before taking out a device and slamming it on the mans face. Whatever it was doing was causing him to scream in agony.
"Sookie!" Bruce grabbed her, "Come on we gotta get to Steve!" He then rushed her out of the party hall. Sookie was so horrified, she didn't resist. She could feel the monster in Bruce itching to come out and fight, but he was holding it at bay.
Once they were outside, Bruce moved them to hide behind a bush to the side while he used his communicator to contact Steve and Natasha. Sookie watched as men and women alike, all swarmed out of the building like bees from a hive. Following behind, was Loki. As she watched his outfit changed. With his gold helmet and scepter, he looked more godly. He made a police car crash with a wave of his glowing scepter, before continuing towards the people. The sight scared Sookie out of her mind.
What did she get herself into? She wasn't prepared for this!
Using some sort of magic, he rounded up the party goers like cattle and ordered them to kneel. When they did he smirked and Sookie could feel another wave of triumph.
"Is not this simpler? Is this not your natural state?" He asked with a smirk as he made his way through the crowd. "It's the unspoken truth of humanity. That you crave subjugation."
As he continued his speech, Sookie felt sick to her stomach. Who the hell did this guy think he was? Sookie didn't care if he was a god, you don't treat people like slaves!
"In the end you will always kneel." His smirk grew and Sookie wanted to slap it right off his face.
Just then an older man with a defiant look on his face stood up and looked to Loki.
"Not to men like you." He announced.
Loki chuckled, "There are no men like me."
"There are always men like you."
Loki was silent for a moment before he lifted his scepter towards the old man.
"Look to your elder people," The smirk that appeared on his face made Sookie's heart fill with dread, "Let him be an example."
The old man's eyes filled with fear as Loki's scepter began to glow.
"NO!" Sookie screamed and threw up her hand.
When she did a white hot light shot from her into Loki. Knocking him back into one of the statues by the stairs. The crowd gasped and looked to her, but she was to in shock to care. Her hand lowering as she stared at it.
"D-Did I just do that?" She asked no one in particular.
Bruce didn't even know what to think of it. It reminded him of one of Stark's blasts from his Iron Man suit. How was Sookie able to do that?
The people all quickly began to run as they saw Loki start to get up. The god of trickery didn't care about them though. His green eyes only focused on the blonde woman that attacked him. He quickly teleported in front of her, knocking Bruce to the side making him hit his head on one of the steps.
"Bruce!" Sookie gasped in horror, before looking to Loki who was still in front of her.
Sookie tried to back away from him, but only managed to back into a tree.
"What are you, Midgardian wench?" Loki inquired, looking her over.
"A waitress." Sookie replied nervously.
Loki stared at her for another moment then smirked, "Fine don't tell me, I'll find out soon enough."
Loki lifted his scepter and touched it to her chest. The light from it simply absorbed into her body, making Sookie feel warm. Loki had a look of confusion, and Sookie could feel her hands warming up again. Loki watched with fascination, as Sookie's eyes began to glow white as well, just before she shot him back again. However this time Loki landed on his feet with a smirk.
Sookie quickly looked around, trying to find a way to escape from this horrible situation, but it all looked grim. That is until a red, white, and blue shield slammed into his head and Steve came out of no where punching the god in the face.
The exhausted telepath quickly took the time to run over to Bruce who was just now getting up.
"Are you alright, Bruce?"
"Yeah, just got the wind knocked out of me." He smirked, "Don't worry I've suffered worse."
They both then watched the fight going on to the side. Iron Man soon showed up, and with them teamed up together. Stark and Rogers subdued Loki and they all returned to the jet with the god in custody.
The flight was mostly quiet, besides the bickering between Tony Stark and Steve. Sookie mainly focused on the wall or her lap, constantly feeling Loki's intense stare. She could feel several emotions from him. Anger, curiosity, determination. Though he also seemed pretty relaxed for someone that was captured.
'Maybe he's just that cocky.' Sookie thought to herself.
Sookie closed her eyes and tried to focus on trying to hear his thoughts. She could hear everyone else.
'It was just to easy, but what reason would he have to let us capture him?' Sookie couldn't help but agree with Steve.
'I can't believe this is the guy my dad looked up to! I wish I was with Pepper... I can't wait to get home so we can-' Sookie slammed the wall to Tony's brain shut. She did not want to see that.
She then was able to focus on the cold aura she felt. The more she focused though, the colder she felt. She could feel her body shivering. Then all of the sudden she felt a zap. Her eyes shot open and she looked to Loki. The god looked shocked as well, then a knowing smirk appeared on his face.
'You know it's awfully rude to try and listen to someone's thoughts.' Loki spoke to her telepathically making Sookie blush and look away. Embarrassed that she got caught. She then heard him chuckle. 'So you're telepathic and can shoot energy from you hands. Interesting... Well I hate to be the barer of bad tidings, but you can't hear me unless I let you in. A little trick I picked up. One can't be to careful after all.'
"Sookie?" Sookie looked to Bruce, who looked concerned. "Are you alright?" He asked.
"Yeah, just tired." She lied with a weak smile.
"Well you could take a nap, we still have a hour til we arrive."
"No, it's okay, really. I'm fine."
Bruce nodded and looked to the sky which was now beginning to show signs of an oncoming storm. There was a huge crack of thunder, and out of the corner of Sookie's eye she could see Loki flinch at the sound.
"What's the matter, scared of a little lightning?" Steve taunted the Norse god.
"I'm not overly fond of what follows..." Loki responded, before Sookie felt a wave of annoyance coming from him, with a hint sadness.
Before she could think anymore on the subject, there was a large thud on the roof of the jet. Sookie began to freak out. Did they just get hit my lightening?! She really didn't want to die here!
Tony opened the rear of the air craft, preparing to fly out to see what happened, before he could though a man flew in. He had long blond hair and wore something similar to Loki's style of dress. Sookie wondered if maybe he was another god. If he was though he obviously didn't learn whatever Loki learned to block her from reading his thoughts.
'He is alive!' The man thought with a feeling of relief, but his face remained serious. Unlike Loki, this man's aura felt warm and friendly, but there was a hint of... static maybe? It felt like Pop Rocks were crackling in her brain.
With a large hammer he knocked Tony back before grabbing Loki and taking off again. Tony and Steve not to far behind.
It didn't take long to locate them. Natasha landed the jet near by, where Tony and Steve were arguing with the new guy over what to do with Loki, said god was sitting near by smirking and chuckling at the scene before him.
"I'll go see if I can calm things down." Bruce offered, before jogging over.
Sookie looked to Natasha who was busy relaying information back to base. So this left Sookie alone with the prisoner. Yep this wasn't uncomfortable in the slightest. Boy she wished she could just go back to Louisiana and forget all of this. Especially since the majority of her so called team mates were acting like boys on a playground. Fighting over Loki like some sort of toy.
The more they fought though, the louder their thoughts were. This caused Sookie to pinch the bridge of her nose. She was starting to get a headache.
Loki on the other hand, went unnoticed as he watched her silently. He was still trying to figure out what this midgardian wench was really. All signs pointed to the Fae, but that was an impossible thought. The Fae had disappeared a long time ago. Preferring to remain hidden.
The not knowing and this unexplainable interest in this girl, was infuriating to the god of trickery. She was just a midgardian wench with a few gifts. At least that's what he kept telling himself...
The fight seemed to go on for hours, and Sookie was tired and these shoes were killing her feet now. She hated heels. The agitation was getting worse and worse, until it exploded.
"Everyone shut the hell up!" She screamed and held her hand up shooting another burst of energy at a tree knocking it down, shocking everyone including herself. Bruce was the only one besides Loki who had seen her new found power.
Coming back to her senses she tried to play it off, "If you all are done with your pissing match, can we please go back to the base? My feet hurt, I'm tired, and it's been a hell of a day for me! So how about you all stop acting like a bunch of five year olds, man the hell up, and get back in the freaken jet! Or so help me I'll shoot the lot of you with whatever this light thing is!"
After that show however, Sookie felt her body weaken more, before her body just gave way entirely. She was out before she hit the ground.
