The Prince of Mischief and Me

The Avengers

I had been 5 month since i had seen Loki and it's fair to say quite abit has happened. I hadn't spoken to him, not at all. It was like as soon as i left he vanished. No letters...nothing. After a month of no contact i gave up hope of seeing or speaking to him again, Emily on the other hand never gave up hope, she still hopes to this day, 5 months on. I was stupid to ever think anything the Prince of Mischief said was true but i couldn't believe Thor would react the same.

"Hey i'm heading out. I'll see you soon!" Emily called from the bottom of the stairs.

"Ok have a good day at work!" Emily had started a new job 3 months ago but she never told me anything about it. Said it was confidential and she had signed a contract agreeing to not discuss her new position. I had no arguments as the wage she recieved paid for our new home. A nice quit home in the city of New York. Her "position" had required she moved here and i felt no connection to my home in England anymore, so i made the move with her. The new start been a good thing for me to forget Loki and all he had made me feel.

...............

"I am sick of having this argument with you Stark...Opheria can help you...she knows Loki better than anyone and if you what you say is true, you're going to need her. Loki is clearly unpredictable and without Opheria we have no chance of breaking whatever control he has." I shouted at Stark for the third time this afternoon. Why wouldnt he take my advice?

"We don't even know if the machine works properly. It could kill her!" I shook my head.

"No, she is so much stronger than you think! she is the key to saving Earth and getting Loki back!"

"How would you know she'd even believe you...it took my a whole month to convince you. We don't have a month, Loki has the tesseract, he could attack at any minute."

"More the reason to get her today and use the machine." Stark rubbed his eyes with his hands before looking to everyone else in the room.

"Fine...but if she resists straight away, you arent allowed to speak about it again...take Romanov and go get her. You have 1 hour" i smirked and looked to Natasha. "Lets go get the saviour of Earth..god i hope you're right Emily" she smiled before we both ran out.

I stepped out of the small cafe on the corner of my street, a hot chocolate in hand, and headed off towards central park for my daily walk. I tried not to let my mind wonder but everytime i was alone i instantly thought of him. What he was doing, where he was, why he had stoppped talking to me.

"Opheria!" I heard my name and turned to see Emily and a woman running towards me. " come with us, we will explain on the way"

"So what Loki is an God and is currently trying to take over earth and you want me to stop him?" I asked, trying to get it in my own head. I had been given alot of information in the last 20 minutes. "Is this some kind of Joke?" Emily sighed.

"I wish i could say yes but the world is so much more than you thought. Here..." she handed me a phone, a video of Loki breaking into a building and taking a blue cube looking thing "Loki plans to take over Earth...rule it as a king! Thor sai-"

"You've seen Thor?" Emily looked at me with a sad look in his eyes.

"He is the reason i got my new job. I was trained to protect you from Loki"

"Loki would never hurt me..."

"It's not your Loki you are dealing with...he's evil. He has killed 80 people in the last 2 days" i shook my head in shock. "We need you to fight him."

"You want me to fight the man i love?"

"Rhea, it's not him anymore! But you can bring him back...if you help us" i looked at Emily and then back at the video.

"What do i have to do?"

"Ah opheria i presume...welcome to Stark towers. Come meet the Avengers..." a man with short black hair and sun glasses spoke to me before leading me into a room full of people.

"I'm Toni Stark...That's Steve, otherwise known as Captain America, thats Banner, Clint, Fury you met Natasha. Oh and Thor"

Thor smiled at me and i felt instant sadness. Emily had been with him this entire time...that's why she never gave up hope...she always had him by her side.  "Ok to the machine lets go..."

"This machine...is there chance it will kill me?" The room fell silent as i looked to Stark for an answer.

"A slight chance. 80 20..."

"Good enough...lets go"  i followed Stark to a room. "Now when you get in you will feel pain like nothing you have ever felt before. It will last for a minute then you will likley fall unconcious for the remaining."

"Likley?"

"Hopefully...for your sake. The machine will imprint on your body and thanks to asgardian technology, you will come out with the strength of an Asgardian."

"Or die" i tried to joke, covering my worry.

"You don't have to do this...you have a choice but know that if you step inside...theres no going back" Emily informed me.

"I have to...even if it means fighting Loki...i need to see him again" i watched as Emily hugged into Thor before stepping into the machine. The Avengers surrounding me, sad but hopeful smiles on their faces.

"Good luck" stark whispered as he closed the door.

"My Lord...we have news. The Avengers have a new weapon they mean to use against you" i smirked before turning to face my loya subject. "A young woman. She was seen getting picked up and taken to Stark Tower." He held a device out to me showing me their so called weapon.

"Opheria...they expect her to stop me...she is a mortal, she has no power on this puny planet that could stop me" i smirked, knowing they had given up all hope of defeating me. Opheria would never hurt me and that would be her downfall.
