Authoress Note: Welcome to Chapter 28 of God of Lies and Mischief and the Woman of Many Faces. Thank you to those who have left reviews for this story. It really does mean a lot to me that you guys are enjoying it. Pretty soon we'll be done with Thor the Dark World and I know that you guys are pretty excited with what is to come in future chapters and I have to admit I'm excited to kind of get to it. I know I should try to plan further ahead than chapter 41, but right now I'm going to keep it there until I can figure out how to do future chapters with Everleigh and the movies. I know that this story will continue on after what happens in Avengers Infinity War since Everleigh's story won't be finished yet. But I'm sure that you all will understand that. Enough of my ramblings. Without further ado Chapter 28. Enjoy!
Chapter 28
Everleigh quickly put up a shield around them protecting them as they watched on in horror as Malekith readied the Aether within him to bring forth the world into darkness.
Jane looked at her friends. "We're out of time." She said as she rushed off ahead of them.
"Jane. Jane!"Erik called after the brown haired woman.
Everleigh went out a groan and shook her head knowing that this wasn't a good sign that Jane was having so little thought of her own life.
Thor rushed out of the station to see the Aether taking over.
"Thor! We're too late." Jane said, looking at the god.
"The Convergence is at its peak." Erik said in a rush.
Thor looked at the gadget spears in Erik's hands. "Can those things stop him?"
"Not from here." Erik said with a shake of his head.
"We can't get close enough. Even with Everleigh's shield."
Thor looked at Jane. "I can." He said as he took the spears from Erik and rushed off towards Malekith.
Everleigh pursed her lips together in nervousness. "Just keep an eye on him Jane... since you have control of this device."
"What of your barrier?" Darcy asked.
"Oh don't worry about it… it should be enough to protect us from the Aether."
"You think?!"
Everleigh let out a breath and simply shook her head. She watched Thor throw one of Erik's gadgets and Malekith caught it.
Jane used the device and it made his arm disappear.
Thor threw the other one and he caught it and his other arm disappeared.
"You think you can stop this? The Aether cannot be destroyed." Maletkith's voice questioned sending a shiver down Everleigh's spine.
"But you can." Thor said before summoning his hammer and rushed towards Malekith as he grabbed his hammer. He used it to throw Malekith into his ship.
Jane used the device and sent them to Svartalfheim. Jane then rushed towards where they were and found Thor on the ground. She gasped softly. "Thor! No!" She turned Thor over and grabbed his arm and tried to pull him out of the way but he's too heavy.
"Jane!" Erik shouted.
"MOVE JANE!" Everleigh said as she put a barrier around the two of them when Jane didn't move, only throwing herself on top of Thor.
Suddenly the ship disappeared.
Jane looked up with wide eyes. "Everybody okay?"
Everleigh lifted up her magic barrier and collapsed onto the ground panting softly.
Thor slowly opened his eyes.
Everleigh watched on as Darcy threw her arms around Ian and kissed him passionately.
Erik slowly went over to Everleigh and helped her up to her feet. "You alright?"
Everleigh leaned against him tiredly. "I'm exhausted." She admitted softly. "The Aether when I had it inside of me drained me… and this didn't help… I could feel it…"
"What?"
"The Aether calling to me... "
Erik looked at her with wide eyes. He hadn't expected her to say that. "You're joking."
Everleigh shook her head lightly. "No… but now it is out of our way… hopefully we won't have the problem of it ever returning."
"But why would it call to you?"
"I don't know… I wish I knew… perhaps it was because my magic fought against it to keep me alive…"
"Oh… that would kind of explain it…"
"Not really." She admitted softly.

This is the end of Chapter 28. I do apologize that the chapter is so short. I tried my best with adding enough into it without it going overboard. The next chapter will finish up Thor the Dark World and then it will be onto the next movie. Captain America Winter Soldier. I kind of can't wait to write for this one… it'll kind of go back into what happened to Everleigh to make her the way she is. Hopefully I'll be able to explain everything in it. Please leave a review and let me know what you think. Until next time.
