Once the jet had taken off Loki found it difficult to concentrate on anything other than the girl sitting across from him. He felt an odd mix of pride, regret, and annoyance. He was proud of how well she seemed to have grown up, he regretted not being there to see it happening, and he was annoyed at her for being in the way of his plan and for staring at him with such obvious disdain. She just needed to spend more time with him. Perhaps then she could be by his side when he took over Midgard.
"So, what is your name?" The Black Widow asked from the pilot's seat.
"Loki Laufeyson, I thought that much was obvious." Loki snickered.
"Not you, the kid."
"Susan Mort." She muttered, looking down at her hands, which were still stained red with Quigley's blood.
"Where are you from?"
"New York."
Loki had heard this said before, but it just now registered that he would be attacking her home town. He wondered if Amy would be there amongst the wreckage of his invasion. He hoped he wouldn't run into her, that would be utterly awkward.
"What were you doing in Germany?"
"Um," Sigrid wiped at her wet cheeks, "Max had a business trip there. My mom needed some alone time to plan the wedding so he offered to take me with him. He got us tickets to the event tonight because he works with the organization that was hosting the party. Err, he worked with them anyway."
"How old are you?"
"Fifteen. Why are you asking all these questions?"
"If you are who you say you are then SHIELD is going to want to have a file on you. I'm just getting some basic information." The red haired pilot informed her.
Sigrid nodded and went back to glaring at Loki. He pretended not to notice and looked her over. She was a lovely girl with auburn curls and bright blue eyes. She had her mother's nose if he recalled correctly. Loki briefly wondered if she had shown any signs of her frost giant heritage. Blue skin was not the norm on Midgard from what he had seen.
"Quit staring at me." She snapped suddenly, a delicate frown in place on her mouth.
"The cease staring at me." Loki retorted teasingly.
"Fine."
Loki suddenly heard the crack of lightning. Oh no, here comes trouble. He thought worriedly. He mustn't let his "dear brother" find Sigrid, that would be a difficult situation to explain considering Thor knew nothing of Loki's little adventure on earth fifteen year previous.
"What's the matter? Scared of a little lightning?" Captain America asked.
"I'm not overly fond of what follows." The Asgardian answered, glancing out the windows. There was a loud thud as something landed on the roof. Captain America and the Man of Iron shifted into battle positions and the Man of Iron put on his helmet. He opened the jet door and to Loki's horror, Thor landed on the opening hatch.
Sigrid looked worried and Loki sympathized. The blonde glanced at the other occupants of the plane and then glared at Loki with such scorn it made him wince. The Man of Iron fired up his blasters, but Thor simply used Mjolnir to push him back. Sigrid wriggled in her seat and tried to back away as much as possible. Thor stepped toward Loki and lifted him by the collar out of his own seat. They met each other's glares for a moment and then Thor dragged him from the jet, spinning Mjolnir. Loki could only hope the idiots on the jet would make sure his daughter was safe.
Susan yelped as the blonde man in the cape dragged Loki out of the plane, and feared for their lives until she saw them flying away. Tonight had been a very odd and terrifying night so she didn't question the fact that a hammer allowed for them to fly. Iron Man quickly exited the jet, explaining that his only plan of attack was to, indeed, swiftly attack.
"If he frees Loki or kills him, the Tesseract is lost." Susan heard him say. She briefly wondered what on earth they were talking about, but quit wondering when Captain America grabbed a parachute.
"I'd sit this one out, Cap." The red haired pilot commented.
"I don't see how I can." The captain responded, fastening his parachute.
"These guys come from legend, they're basically gods."
Susan cringed when she heard that. It was all the confirmation she needed to know that Loki had not lied about a thing and was indeed her father. There was no denying it now.
"There's only one God, ma'am, and I'm pretty sure he doesn't dress like that." Captain America retorted. He grabbed his shield and then lept from the plane after Loki, the blonde man, and Iron Man.
After they had gone, the jet door closed. Susan turned in her seat to the pilot. "Will they be alright?"
"Cap and Stark? Probably, they're both idiots, but they can handle themselves."
"What about…?"
"Loki? Well, he might come back with a few more bruises and scrapes, but he will come back. Stark doesn't give up easily and from what I've seen of Captain America, neither does he."
"Who was the other man?" Susan asked, fearfully. She thought for a moment about what she had learned about Norse myths. The only deity that came to mind who wielded a hammer was Thor. "Was it Thor?"
"That would be my guess. He came to New Mexico a while back, that's how we know about the Asgardians. If memory serves, and Loki is your father, that means Thor's your uncle, kid."
"My uncle?" She laughed despite the horrendous time she was having, "It's only been me and mom for my whole life and then suddenly I was going to have a stepfather. Now I've got a biological father and an uncle! This just keeps getting crazier and crazier!"
"From what I've heard about Thor, his father is the ruler of Asgard, so you have grandparents too. You're certainly in for a wild ride," The red haired pilot smiled slightly at Susan, "Are you ready for that?"
"Not in the least."
Loki and Thor had landed, argued, and then Thor had been plowed over by the Man of Iron. How ironic that the people who Thor so longed to protect attacked him and not Loki, who had plans to invade. He would have a good laugh about it later.
In the meantime, Loki watched from the mountain as Thor and the Man of Iron fought one another. This fight had certainly put a bump in the plan. Loki was supposed to be going to the flying base, but this gave him a rather obvious chance at escaping. If he took it then the plan would be ruined. He would just have to watch the fight and hope the "heroes" didn't notice that he wasn't running off. They were all such cretins he expected it wouldn't be hard to get away with this.
While he watched them his mind wandered back to Sigrid. What must she think of this whole situation? To find her father and see him cause such havoc could not be easy on the girl. However, Loki had faith that she would get over the ordeal and understand eventually. After all, when his plans succeeded then she would be right by his side, ruling over the people of this planet, what could be better?
Thor and the Man of Iron fought each other all over the forest, destroying trees and butting heads like to rams. It was quite amusing and Loki was enjoying watching them go at it until the soldier came between the two of them with his shield.
"Then prove it, put that hammer down." The captain said after some conversation between the three. Loki's smile grew. This would not end well for the captain.
"Uh no!" Iron Man said hastily, "He loves his hammer!"
Thor smacked the man in the metal suit backwards and looked to the other Midgardian. "You want me to put the hammer down?!" He flew into the air and landed, hammer first, on the captain's shield. The clang of metal on metal was deafening and Thor flew backward. After the dust had settled a little the captain rose and looked Thor in the eye.
"Are we done here?"
Thor looked at the destruction and gave a slight nod, breathing heavily. They might have been done at that point, but Loki smiled at the thought of how much more fighting they would have to do.
