till the end of the line

4 Malekith

I fell from the ship as I tried to find balance in the air before holding my hands out before me.

Finally stopping, I was floating midair as Thor soon jumped down into the smaller ship below me with Jane in his arms. I sighed and lowered myself onto the ship before tripping and falling onto Loki.

Opening his eyes, he looked up at me as I quickly got off of him, pulling him up by his arms. Although, pulling him quite hard, he knocked into me but caught me before gently standing me up.

He gave me a soft smile and then turned to his brother, smirking, "You lied to me. I'm impressed."

"Glad you're pleased. Now, do as you promised and take us to your secret passageway."

Loki then smiled even more sadistically before grabbing the steer and turning us towards the open water as we began to pick up speed.

Still being followed, Loki maneuvered us around the firing as we soon leveled out in the air.

My eyes widened as I ended up seeing that we were headed straight for the side of a mountain.

Thor stood up as well and looked back, alarmed, "Loki..."

He only smirked and steered us straight towards it, "If it were easy, everyone would do it."

"Are you mad?"

"Possibly."

I grabbed onto the ship as I braced for impact, as we soon entered a tunnel before crashing onto the ground as Loki glanced at me, "Ta-da!"

Soon flying stable again, Thor began tending to Jane as I only waved my hand floating a blanket onto her as I leaned back into the side of the ship.

Loki sighed as he looks longingly at Jane, "What I could do with the power that flows through those veins."

His brother becoming tired with him only exhaled, letting out a breathy, "It would consume you."

"She's holding up all right. For now."

Tuning out, I turned onto my side soon falling asleep as I laid down behind Loki as he steered the ship.

As I laid with my eyes closed, peacefully sleeping, I was still aware of everything happening around me. The sudden conflict between the two brothers, the growth within Jane and the power, and my own sanity being tested in the process.

As the ship soon slowed down, I felt a hand on my shoulder, gently nudging me awake.

I opened my eyes to meet the ones of Loki as I sat up, rubbing my head before he helped me stand up, "We've stopped."

I nodded and soon we walked off the ship towards the end of a cliff showing us an even bigger ship.

Waiting Thor sighed, turning to Jane, "All right, you ready?"

She nodded and soon Loki did too, "I am."

I chuckled as he then turned to me, "Are you ready?"

I looked out at the figures leaving the ship, "Anything to get home."

Loki stood up as I stood with Jane behind the brothers as Loki looked to Thor, "You know, this plan of yours is going to get us killed."

"Yes, possibly."

Loki held out his arms motioning for the cuffs to come off as Thor only looked at him.

"You still don't trust me, brother?"

Thor sighed and began undoing the cuffs as he looked up, "Would you?"

Once the cuffs were off, Loki smirked stabbing Thor with a dagger as he shook his head, "No, I wouldn't."

I held Jane back as she yelled out for Thor. He fell off his feet and soon down the hill as Loki walked after him followed by Jane and myself.

"You really think I never cared about Frigga? About any of you?" Taking a kick to the face Thor fell back as Loki took out his rage, "All I ever wanted was you and Odin dead at my feet!"

Summoning his hammer, Loki shook his head and cut off Thor's hand as Jane got out of my hold, heading for Thor as I stood back and watched things unravel.

Loki then grabbed Jane and turned towards the figures who had soon approached us, "Malekith! I am Loki of Jutunheim, and I bring you a gift."

Loki threw Jane forwards as she landed on her side before the new faces.

"I only ask two things in return, a good seat from which to watch Asgard burn and a one-way trip to Midgard."

Exchanging some words in their foreign language, Malekith walked forwards, towards Thor as his back was to the sky, "Look at me."

Kicking Thor over, he landed on his back as he grabbed his handless arm in pain before Malekith took hold of Jane's body.

He held her up midair as this red and black dark substance began to leave her body. I could feel the power now radiating off of it as I took a step towards Loki before I stopped standing just between the two brothers.

Finishing with his extraction, Malekith dropped Jane and soon it was time.
