Chapter 2:
The devil within pt. 1
Evyn sat on the bench opposite of Loki and stared at him, while Steve and Tony stood whispering with each other.
"I don't like it." Steve whispered to Tony as he turned around.
"What? Rock of ages giving up so easily?" Tony whispered back.
"It's never that easy. Guy packs a wallet." Steve stated looking back at the god.
Evyn hummed pulling her silver long hair back. "You two whisper so loud."
"Sorry party crasher." Tony stated moving his stare towards the half devil. "Still your pretty spry, for an older fellow." He whispered to Steve moving his glance towards the captain.
Steve gave Tony a disapproving look.
"Nice job on insulting him." Evyn muttered looking at the two. "But by all means continue, I enjoy meaningless banter. It's my cheap source of entertainment."
"Well I'm not cheap." Tony stated looking at Evyn. "Care to enlighten us why reindeer games called you 'abomination'?"
"Why do you have a goatee?" Evyn questioned.
"Because I want to." Tony stated.
"Well there's your answer." Evyn smiled softly. "Because he wants to annoy me to the point of me shooting him. But he knows I can't because we well you all need him."
"Hm. Fair point." Tony hummed nodding his head.
Suddenly a blast of thunder and lightning was heard outside. Evyn frowned feeling a strange energy from the sudden occurrence, and turned her attention to Loki whose face held utter horror.
"What's wrong? Scared of a little lightning?" Steve asked the god.
"I'm not utterly fond of what follows." Loki stated looking up.
Evyn frowned and stood up having her hand on her sword, narrowing her crystal blue eyes. "Something isn't right with this lightning…" She muttered.
Suddenly a loud thump was heard on the top of the quinjet, jiggling the aircraft. Evyn frowned more looking up at the ceiling, at the corner of her eye, she noticed Tony put on his helmet and walked towards the ramp controls opening it."
"What are you doing?!" Steve shouted at the billionaire.
"Making our lives worse." Evyn growled watching a long hair blonde man land on the ramp, and threw his hammer at Tony knocking him back into Steve.
The man with the red cape walked forward towards Loki and grabbed the god. Moving towards the ramp, the red cape man flew out towards the thick cloud.
Taking a deep breathe, Evyn turned to the two and stated. "This is why we don't open doors when we hear a strange sound." With that the half devil jumped out after the gods.
"Well now there's that guy." Tony muttered standing up.
"Another Asgardian?" Romanoff questioned looking at the two.
"Doesn't matter. If that guys takes him or kills him, the tesseract is lost." Tony stated walking towards the ramp.
"Stark! We need a plan of attack." Steve shouted.
"I have a plan. Attack." Tony stated bluntly. "Besides party crasher jumped out after him, clearly she has her own plan." With the Tony humped out of the quinjet.
Free falling wasn't Evyn's favorite activity, but if it was needed then she'll do it. The half devil narrowed her eyes noticing a mountain side, taking a deep breathe she allowed her devil form to take place of her human form. Her porcelain ivory skin morphed to a dark violet scales, her face and hair was replaced with a black lizard face and silver upside horns. Her hands and fingers morphed to talons, the normal human feet now dark violet with long black nails. Using her talons, the half devil stabbed them into the mountain to slow down her decent. Seeing ground coming close she turned back to her human form; turning her gaze to the two gods, who is a small hike up from where she landed.
"Where's the tesseract?" The blonde god questioned after throwing Loki on the ground.
Loki let out a small chuckle. "Ah, I miss you too."
"Do I look to be in a gaming mood?" The blonde god asked.
Loki slowly lifted his head up to stare at him. "With the bio frost gone how much dark energy did the all father conjured up to send you here. Your precious earth."
The god with the red cape dropped his hammer and made a quick stride towards Loki, grabbing him from behind the neck. "Listen. I thought you dead."
"Did you mourn?" Loki asked.
"We all did." The other god stated. "Our father."
"Your father." Loki stated holding a finger up.
Evyn stopped her small hike hearing the 'our' part. Looking up the half devil decided to listen more into the conversation between the two gods.
"He did tell you of my true parentage. Did he not?" Loki asked walking forward past the other.
Seeing him walking close to her, Evyn quickly moved to hide behind a rock larger in length and width than she was.
"We were raised together. We played together, we fought together." The other god stated following Loki down the path. "Brother, do you not remember any of that?"
"I remember a shadow." Loki stated looking up at the god. "Living in the shade of your greatness. I remember you tossing me into an abyss. I was and should be king."
Evyn looked down remember her last moments with her elder brother, Vergil. The young woman looked up, feeling almost the same pain as the blonde hair god. Watching your brother fall into nothingness right before your eyes leaves a scare. A scare that you can't heal.
Loki let out a laugh staring at the blonde god. "And you're doing a marvelous job at that. The humans slaughter each other, demons rise and devours them. While you idly fret. Abominations wonders without your knowledge. I should rule them. Why should I not?"
"You think yourself above them." The other god stated looking at Loki.
"Well yes." Loki stated slightly confused.
"Then you miss the truth of ruling brother." He stated taking a step towards Loki. "Throne would suit you ill."
Growing angry Loki pushed the other to the side walking off towards the cliff. "I've seen worlds you never knew about. I have groan Odinson." He spat. "In my exile I have seen the true power of the tesseract. And when I wield it."
"Who showed you this power?" The blonde god asked walking towards Loki. "Who controls the would be king?"
"I am a king!" Loki shouted.
"Not here! You give up the tesseract you give up this pointless dream!" He shouted grabbing Loki's arms roughly. Moving his hand up to behind Loki's neck again. "You come home."
Loki stared at him and left out a small laugh. "I don't have it."
Growling the other man pulled away glaring at Loki summoning his hammer.
"You need the cube to send me home. But I sent it off I know not where." Loki stated.
Pointing his hammer at Loki, the blonde god started. "Listen here brother. I-"
Evyn saw Tony fly into the other god and flew off with the other god. She sighed and stood up walking towards Loki. "You really should give up this dream."
Loki turned around to look at Evyn. "The abomination. You heard everything."
"You should listen to your brother. He-"
"He's not my brother!" Loki growled out.
"He is! If anything but blood." Evyn yelled, walking towards the god. "If everyone who cares for you mourn when you fell to that abyss then they are your family."
"What does a demon know of family? Of love?" Loki asked the woman. "Your father was a demon, a powerful demon."
"He was, but he fell into love with a human." Evyn stated standing in front of Loki. "I have a heart that much makes me human. What of you? You cared for your family once right?"
"You know nothing." Loki growled glaring at her. "I was left in an abyss by him!"
"You chose it! You fell but think of the pain he felt! Think of the pain of watching your brother. A man you grew up with, who loved you watch you fall!" Evyn felt a small choke in her throat, and used all her will power to push down the tears, at the memories of Vergil. "I know that pain all too well…go back to them. End this."
Loki laughed walking around her. "You sound so much like him. It's sickening."
"I'll shoot you." Evyn stated and saw a bright blue light from the forest. "Well then."
"You alright there Evyn?" Steve asked the half devil as they walk towards the command room.
Evyn nodded her head slowly. "Yeah…just some bad memories I rather not think of."
"That's not healthy Evyn." Steve stated grabbing her arm. "You barely told me anything about you. Your bio from shield doesn't help either."
"Its better you know nothing about me other than my name." Evyn pulled away and walked off. "You wouldn't survive in my world."
The half devil sat down at the table pulling her scarf over her face, trying to ignore Fury talking to Loki. After remembering her eldest brother falling straight to hell willingly, the young half devil just wanted to lay on her roommate couch and drink until she was wasted.
"A mindless beast. Or perhaps the abomination?" Loki stated, catching Evyn's ears. "Who still plays as a man and the one who acts to be a mortal? How desperate are you. You call on such lost creatures to aid you."
"How desperate am I?" Fury asked. "You threaten my world with war. You stole a power you can't control. You talk about peace but you kill cause its fun. You have made me very desperate. You might not be glad that you did."
"Oooh. It burns you to have come so close. To have the tesseract to have power. Unlimited, but for what. To show it to mankind. Only to see what real power is." Loki smiled.
"He has completely lost it." Evyn muttered keeping her scarf over her face. "Real power is something you never want to have at your fingertips."
"He really grows on you doesn't he." Bruce stated crossing his arms over his chest.
"Loki is going to drag this out." Steve stated, taking a quick glance at Evyn, then looked over at Thor. "So. Thor what's his play?"
Thor stood there looking towards the side his arm crossed and explained. "He has an army called the Chitauri. Not of Asgard, and not of any world known. He means to lead them against your people."
Evyn pulled her scarf down looking at Thor placing her arms on the table. "I know that's dangerous, but bringing a unknown thing into the human world, won't that cause the demons who occupy this world to retaliate?"
"Demons?" Steve questioned looking at Evyn.
"You're correct. How do you know of them?" Thor questioned looking at Evyn.
"Killing those bastards is the source of my income." She stated. "Besides…if the demons to retaliate then we will have more than an army to worry about."
"But demons are just stories. They're not real." Bruce stated looking at Evyn.
"He's real." Evyn stated bluntly pointing at Thor. "And if they were just stories then I wouldn't be alive now would I?"
"You say your name is Evyn. What of your family name?" Thor questioned only now sensing something different about the young woman.
"Sparda. My name is Evyn Sparda." She stated looking at Thor.
"Sparda. The Dark Knight Sparda? The one who sealed away the demon world from here?" Thor asked in amazement. "I heard stories that he had three children…but I would have never…"
"An Army." Steve stated getting the two attention. "From outer space."
"Then he plans to open another portal." Bruce stated. "That's why he needs Eric Selvig for."
"Selvig?" Thor repeated.
"He's a astrophysicists." Bruce stated.
"He's a friend." Thor said.
"He under some sort of spell." Romanoff stated. "Along with one of our own."
"What I want to know is why Loki let us take him. He can't lead a army here" Steve wondered.
"It's called keeping your enemies close and study them for weakness." Evyn stated. "He could also be using himself as a catalyst to weaken us."
"Let's not focus on Loki. His brain is a bag full of cats. You can smell crazy on him." Bruce stated.
Thor narrowed his eyes at Bruce. "Have care how you speak. Loki is beyond reason, but he is of Asgard. And he is my brother."
Romanoff frowned, looking at the god. "He killed 80 people in two days.
"He's adopted." Thor added.
"Doesn't matter. You were raised with him, so he's your brother in everything but blood." Evyn stated looking at Thor.
"That is true." Thor agreed with Evyn.
"Why do they need Iridium for though?" Bruce questioned.
"It's a stabilizing agent." Tony stated walking in with Coulson. "Look, I'm just saying, pick a weekend." Tony told Coulson. "I'll fly you to Portland."
Coulson shook his head looking at Tony.
"Wow, I would like a flight to Capulet City, Stark." Evyn smiled bending her head to look at Tony.
"Maybe." Tony muttered, walking to the bridge. "It means the portal won't collapse on itself." He started to explain to the group. "Like it did at Shield." He patted Thor on the god's shoulder, and stated "No hard feelings, point break. You've got mean swing. It means the portal can open as wide and stay open as long Loki wants." He stated looking at the control panels. "Uh…raise the mizzenmast. Jib the topsils." He muttered waving his hands in different gestures, and suddenly pointing at an agent shouting, "That man is playing Galaga! He thought we wouldn't notice, but we did."
Evyn bit her lip to stop herself from laughing at Tony.
Tony looked at the control panels again and covered one of his eyes, asking "How does Fury even see these?"
"He turns." Hill bluntly stated.
"Sound exhausting." Tony muttered.
"So…let me get this right." Evyn stated getting Tony's attention. "If Loki plans on keeping the portal open for who knows how long, wouldn't he need something to keep it running?"
"Yes!" Tony snapped his fingers. "It would have to be high-density. Something to kick-start the Cube."
"And you lost me." Evyn muttered.
Hill frowned looking at Tony. "When did you become an expert in thermonuclear astrophysics?"
Evyn blinked at the name and looked at Hill. "Themo what? You sure that's a word?"
"It's a word." Hill told Evyn.
"Last night." Tony shrugged looking at Evyn. "You never went to college party crasher?"
"I never finished elementary school." Evyn stated. "Orphaned at 8, in a city where you have to live for yourself."
"Okay, your street smart then." Tony summarized.
Evyn nodded her head. "How you become a expert?"
"Selvig's notes, the extracation theory papers." Tony listed off looking at the group. "Am I the only one who did the reading?"
Steve shook his head clearly not following anything, and it annoyed him. "Does Loki need any particular kinds of power source?"
"He would have to heat the cube to 120-million kelvin just to break through coulomb barrier." Bruce stated from his pacing looking up.
Tony nodded his head and continued as he walked around the table, "Unless Selvig has figured out how to stabilize the quantum tunneling effect."
"If he managed that he could achieve heavy ion fusion at any reactor on the planet." Bruce finished off, nodding his head slowly.
Tony's face broke out into a large smile. "Finally! Someone who speaks English!"
"Is that what just happened?" Steve muttered.
"That's English?" Evyn scoffed. "What the hell am I speaking then? Shitty version of your English?"
Tony hummed in agreement, and shook Bruce's hand. "It's good to meet you Dr. Banner." He pointed at the doctor. "Your work on antielectron collisions is unparalleled. And I'm a huge fan of the way you lose control and turn into an enormous green rage-monster."
"You should start with that stick of his." Steve stated catching the two attention. "It may be magical but it works awfully lot like a Hydra weapon."
"Maybe Hydra based their weapons on something magical?" Evyn suggested. "If it's based off then wouldn't there be a difference? Cause clearly that looks like something beyond human intelligence."
"Thought you said you didn't complete your education." Bruce stated frowning.
"I did, but when it comes to shit that isn't human, I'm pretty good at understanding."
"What I would like to know is how Loki used it to turn two of the sharpest men I know into his personal flying monkeys." Fury stated walking foreword looking at the group.
Thro frowned, confusion painting over his face. "Monkeys?" He questioned. "I do not understand."
"I do!" Steve exclaimed holding his finger out towards Nick.
Evyn raised an eyebrow looking at the captain.
"I understood that reference." Steve stated feeling proud of himself.
"Shall we play doctor?" Tony asked Bruce.
Bruce nodded his head. "This way." He showed Tony towards the lab.
Evyn stood up stretching her back. "Well that was eventful. So captain, you haven't explored the 21st century that much have you?"
"No I haven't. Why?" Steve frowned looking at the half demon.
"Such a crude awakening isn't." Evyn hummed walking towards him. "Believe me when I say this. Women in this day and age, usually show everything."
Steve blinked slowly staring at Evyn confused.
"When we stop Loki, I'll open your eyes." She stated with a soft whisper, waving her fingers and moving her hands apart, imitating a small explosion. "But I must say, that uniform does fit you very well." She smirked and walked off.
Steve blinked slowly and watched Evyn walk out.
"I'm curious about this shit you're talking about." Evyn called out walking into the lab looking at the two scientist.
"Isn't your mouth so colorful." Tony stated sarcastically.
"Thank you, and would you also please stop calling me 'party crasher', I saved your life." Evyn stated walking to the table, leaning over to look at the scepter.
"How is killing a hot woman who was with me saving my life?" Tony questioned looking at the half devil.
"What?" Bruce frowned looking at Evyn. "You killed someone?"
"Not someone. Something. That chic was a succubus. She was gonna drain you dry." Evyn explained as she kneeled down looking at the blue stone.
"She looked human." Tony stated.
"That's the trick. Demons can hide themselves in the human world by looking like a human. That's how they feed." Evyn pointed out. "I've been hunting them for all my life. And being related to one helps."
"So you weren't joking." Bruce stated.
"Nope." She said looking closer at the stone. "Somethings off about that stone. It's diffidently magical…but not the one I'm use to seeing."
"Good to know." Tony muttered and quickly poked Bruce's side, just as Steve walked in.
"Ow!" Bruce exclaimed.
"Hey!" Steve called out.
Tony blinked and looked closely at Bruce. "Nothing?"
"Are you nuts?" Steve questioned authority laced in his voice.
"Jury's out." Tony muttered moving his glance to Steve.
"They just doing weird science stuff." Evyn stated standing up looking up at Steve.
Tony nodded his head and turned his stare to Bruce/ "You really have got a lid on it, haven't you? What's your secret? Mellow jazz, bongo drums, huge bag of weed?"
"I know a guy if you need any." Evyn stated looking at the two.
"Please share." Tony smirked.
Steve sent the two a not approving look. "Is everything a joke to you?" He asked Tony.
"Funny things are." Tony stated point the stick that shocked Bruce, at the captain.
"Threatening the safety of everyone on this ship isn't funny." Steve stated. "Not even going along with his humor." The captain stated towards Evyn. "No offense doc." Steve quickly added towards Bruce.
Dr. Banner shook his head. "It's all right. I wouldn't have come board if I couldn't handle pointy things."
"Seems to make sense." Evyn stated looking at Steve. "If the doctor couldn't handle this situation would Shield really have asked him to come?"
Tony nodded his head in agreement and stated, "You're tip-toeing, big man." The billionaire started. "You need to strut."
"And you need to focus on the problem Mr. Stark." Steve told the billionaire.
"Do you think I'm not?" Tony questioned him taking out a silver bag "Why did Fury call us in? Why now? Why not before? What isn't he telling us?" He hummed giving the captain a pointed look. "I can't do the equation unless I have all the variables."
"You think Fury's hiding something?" Steve frowned.
"He's a spy. Captain, he's 'the' spy. His secrets have secrets." Tony stated and pointed to both Bruce and Evyn.
Bruce looked down. "Uhh…I just want to finish my work here, and-"
"Doctor?" Steve frowned hearing the uncertainty in the doctor's voice.
Bruce sighed, taking his glasses off. "'A warm light for all mankind'." Loki's jab at Fury about the cube."
"I heard it." Steve nodded.
"Think that was meant for you." Bruce stated pointing at Tony.
A big bright smile spread cross Tony's face as he held the silver bag out to the doctor.
Raising an eyebrow Bruce reached into the bag and pulled out a handful of blueberries. "Even if Barton didn't tell Loki about the tower, it was still all over the news." He stated.
"The Stark Tower?" Bruce asked. "That big ugly…" He paused seeing an unamused look from Tony, but continued. "Building in New York?"
Evyn hummed and reached for the blueberries, listening to Bruce explanation.
"It's powered by an arc reactor, self-sustaining energy source." The doctor stated looking towards Tony who gave him a quick nod. "That building will run itself for, what a year?"
Tony shrugged swallowing a blueberry holding out the bag to Evyn. "It's a prototype." He stated. "I'm kind of the only name in clean energy right now."
"How does Evyn fit to all of this?" Steve frowned looking at Evyn.
"Well, think about what Thor stated about her father. It matches the legend of Sparda. A demon who fought against his own people and sealed them away." Bruce stated looking at Evyn. "Right?"
Evyn nodded her head slowly. "Yeah. When he sealed the demons away he kinda sealed a part of himself."
"So in a sense she isn't fully human." Bruce summarized. "If that's the case then why didn't Shield bring them in on the tesseract project?" Bruce asked. "Why are they doing in the energy business in the first place?"
Tony snapped his fingers putting the blueberries down. "I should probably look into that once my decryption program finishes breaking into all of Shield's secure files."
"I'm sorry did you say-"
"Jarvis has been running it since I hit the bridge." Tony stated cutting the captain off. "In a few hours I'll know every dirty secret Shield has ever tried to hide." Tony stated, and picked up the bag of blueberries holding it up to the captain. "Blueberry."
"Yet you're confused about why they didn't want you around." Steve stated confusion written in his voice.
"An intelligence organization that fears intelligence? Historically, not awesome." Tony stated.
"Don't forget stalking. They stalk." Evyn bluntly stated.
"There's that." Tony nodded looking at Evyn.
"I think Loki's trying to wind us up." Steve stated. "This is a man who means to start a war and if we don't stay focused he'll succeed." The captain stated looking at the three. "We have orders. We should follow them."
"Followings not really my style." Tony stated eating a blueberry.
Steve shook his head letting out a small laugh. "And you're all about style, aren't you?"
Evyn slowly moved away and out of the lab.
"Evyn." Coulson called out looking at the half devil.
Evyn turned her head quickly hiding something underneath her scarf. "Agent Coulson?"
"Something has been bugging me lately." He stated standing next to the half devil. "When you spoke of your family reunion, and that tower."
"You want to know if there's a connection between it?" Evyn hummed. "I feel a connection with Thor. A brother who is so lost to wanting power, reminds me of my own brother. Vergil."
Coulson looked at her, waiting for the young woman to continue.
"It's hard to see someone you known for your whole life slowly lose themselves to power." Evyn shook her head. "This won't end well Agent Coulson."
Coulson shrugged his shoulders. "You don't know that."
"We might win…but what will we lose?" Evyn muttered. "Theres always a price. No ma-"
Suddenly a large explosion happened shaking the whole helicarrier.
"What the hell?" Evyn groaned looking at Coulson.
"I think this is what you were talking about." Coulson stated. "Follow me."
With that the two ran off.
Well heres that. Longer than usual.
I don't have much to say other than I hope you enjoy.
Tell me what you think, what you think of Evyn?
