The Infinity Stone

5

Aria entered the room, the glass cell a few steps away. Loki had his back facing the entrance, eyes closed, listening. He turned around to face whoever enter, but saw no one.

" I'm gone for what? A few hours, and you destroy a town, try to kill Sif, the other three, Thor, and then succeeding with me. Killing your father, try to commit genocide, and then try to kill yourself. Did I miss anything?" He froze, hearing the voice from behind him. Slowly he turned and saw her in the cage with him. 

" Is this another trick?" He asked, smiling, not believing that she is actually here. 

" Then, after failing to end your own life, you stumble upon a spaceship." Aria said, turning to the cameras, flicking her wrists. The cameras cut out. 

" Flashforward a bit, and begin your invasion on Earth." She turned to face him, no emotion present on her features. Loki could only stare, swallowing air. Aria was able to get a good look at him now. He looked sick, his skin was paler, black circles under his eyes. Pointy longer hair, and blue eyes. 

She walked up to him and placed her hand on his cheek. " What happened?" She asked, looking into his mind, seeing it all. Loki knew then that this was no trick. She was shocked when he wrapped his arms around her torso, and he too was shocked that she leaned into it. When she looked into his eyes again, they were green. She was successful in breaking the control for a brief moment. 

" I only have a moment, they're probably working on getting the cameras back up. As soon as I leave,"

" Why are you here? How are you here? I thought I-" 

" Killed me? It's gonna take more than a slap to kill me, darling." Aria broke their embrace, and regained her composure, the previous anger returning. Loki begins to circle around her, trying to intimidate her, Aria allows the camera's to turn on once more.

 " Have you come to threaten me as well?" He asked, trying to stare her down, making her smirk sadistically.
" No, I don't want to waste my breath. I've come to warn you." This amused the God.
" Warn me?" 

He was suddenly slammed against the glass cage, a knife pressed against his throat, he was slightly taken aback by her sudden outburst. " Just like old times." 

" Yes, warn you. You are planning an invasion against my home. And I will fight till my last breath to insure you fail. Got it?" She asked the blue eyed man. 

" Like last time?" He said smiling, hiding his grief from the memory. He felt more pressure against his neck.
" Don't tempt me Loki, I have dreamed of slitting your throat since our first meeting." 

" Then why did you agree to marry me?" Aria looked at him as if he asked why there are clouds in the sky.
" You hardly gave me a choice you moron." Loki felt hurt at her answer.
" Did you have any want to marry me?" 

" This is hardly the time," she said stepping back, the knife vanishing. Deep down, Loki wanted to grab her arm, stopping her from leaving him again, but his pride let leave the cage. " I will kill you if it comes down to it, regardless of anything I feel or felt." She said, facing him one last time, then leaving him alone to his thoughts. 

She went to find her father, and her possible new step father, noticing her dads infatuation for the doctor. Banner was scanning the scepter for radiation, Tony was working on algorithms and equations on his monitor. Neither had notice the new presence in the room, so she peeked over Banners shoulder, seeing the outcome of the reading. 

" The gamma reading are definitely consistent with Selvig's reports on the Tesseract. But it's gonna take two weeks to process." Bruce said, acknowledging Aria with a kind smile.
" If we bypass their mainframe and direct a reroute to the Homer cluster, we can clock this around six hundred teraflops." Aira voiced, finally catching her dad's attention.
