Beyla ~ (Loki)

14.

Thor runs into the detention section where he finds Loki, escaping. "NO!" Thor charges at his brother. Loki walks up to him and crouches down to attack. Thor only goes through him. The false Loki dissipates into nothingness. The real Loki comes out from behind the cell door, which closes on Thor, locking him up. Loki smiles. "Are you ever not going to fall for that?"

Thor, in a fit of anger, slams MJÖLNIR onto the glass cell. To his surprise, the cell door only cracks, but violently shakes the ship. Loki stands there in caution, as does his guarding soldier. Loki smiles and walks over to the control panel. "The humans think us immortal. Should we test that?"

Suddenly, the soldier falls like a tree. Agent Coulson stands there, holding a PHASE 2 weapon prototype. "Move away, please."

Loki moves away from the switch. "You like this? We started working on the prototype after you sent THE DESTROYER. Even I don't know what it does. Do you wanna find out?" Coulson lets out a loud gasp as he is impaled through the chest, the real Loki standing behind him.

Thor bangs on the glass again, "Nooo!"

Loki sends Agent Coulson against the wall. Agent Coulson slumps down, breathing fast. Loki makes his way to the control switch. He gives his brother one last look. Thor looks at him, hopeful. Loki opens the hatch. Thor still hopes. Loki hits the button and drops Thor out of the ship.

The door bursts open and Tony enters. "What are you doing, taking a nap? Come on!" I rush to the back of the greenhouse, gathering as many buds as I can. "What's the latest?" "Thor and Banner are no shows, your husband is about to destroy New York." I nod, "Regular day then. let's go."

Tony drops us on the building top where the cube is powered. Eric looks completely mad as he stares at the blue rays. "Shut it down, Dr. Selvig."

"It's too late! It can't stop now. He wants to show us something! A new universe." I step closer. "Eric! You have to listen. You're not thinking, you understand what this will do to humankind!" "It has to be done, Beyla!" He screams madly. "Okay." Tony aims his hands toward the CMS and fires. The energy from his boosters shatters with a deafening crack! Selvig falls backward. Below him, citizens of New York lookup at STARK Tower.

"The barrier is pure energy. It's unbreachable. The Mark VII is not ready to be deployed." Jervis speaks.

"Skip the spinning rims. We're on the clock." Tony lands his suit and goes through the gauntlet and unsuits him. Loki looks up at him, smiling. They proceed to walk into the penthouse. I land on the balcony connected to the building, walking in casually.

Loki stares at me with a smile. "You're out again." I glare at him, tapping my staff. "You tried to lock me up." He chuckles, nodding as well. Loki walks, holding the scepter. Tony casually walks down the steps, towards the bar. "Please tell me you're going to appeal to my humanity."

"Uh...actually, I'm planning to threaten you."

"You should have left your armor on for that."

"Yeah, it's seen a bit of mileage. You've got the blue stick of destiny. Would you like a drink? Beyla?" "No, thank you." I pass Loki's shoulder. His arms tightening as he watches me walk away from his side. "Stalling me won't change anything."

"No, no, no! Threatening. No drink? You sure? I'm having one."

"The CHITAURI are coming. Nothing will change that. What have I to fear?"

"The Avengers." Loki looks at him, confused. "It's what we call ourselves, sort of like a team. 'EARTH'S MIGHTIEST HEROES' type of thing."

"Yes, I've met them."
