Loving Marianna

Chapter Thirty- Three

I roll underneath their legs now facing their backs and wrap my arm around Loki's neck and flip him smashing his body against the floor so hard everything around us shakes. They turn around and Nat throws another knife at me. I manage to dodge it and pull it out of the wall it's lodged in. Bucky moves in on me and tries to kick me in the face but I grab his foot and roughly flip him on his back. As I am distracted by Bucky, T'challa is able to move behind me and wrap me in a chokehold lifting my body into the air cutting off my oxygen. I take the knife Natasha threw at me and stab T'challa in the arm that's wrapped around me. It doesn't do much of anything but gets him to free me at least.

"Why are you doing this?!" I scream trying to get my breath back brandishing the knife as they all move in on me again.

T'challa throws himself at me and I send him flying across the room with a kick to his stomach. Once I do multiple Loki's surround me. His tricks may work on other people but not his mate. I can feel the emptiness of each one of his clones and I easily pick him out in the crowd. Once he realizes I figured him out his smirk falls and so do the illusions as he teleports behind me and flips me just like I did him.

I groan but don't have much time before I have to roll out of the way as Loki goes to bring his foot down on my face. I roll into Nats feet and she delivers a bone crushing kick to my ribs. My healing helps but it still hurts like a bitch. I quickly rise to my feet knowing if I stay down things will only get worse. I begin singing pulling water from the air I make a bubble around Natasha and before she can get out I freeze it around her creating a barrier. She tries to take it down and makes little progress. That should hold her for a bit.

I turn away and whip the knife over my shoulder landing it directly in Buckys shoulder. He groans and yanks it out but as he does I scream and send him flying back the pitch high enough to knock him out.

Loki is easy enough to subdue now that he knows I can see right through his tricks. I sing and pull more water from the air and send him flying back into the wall with ice cuffs and an ice collar holding him. Before he can teleport I send the same scream as I did to Bucky and knock him out too.

T'challa runs at me and knocks me to the ground and we begin wrestling on the floor. He rolls on top of me and picks me up by my shirt slamming my head into the ground. I feel blood pool but ignore it as he goes to slam my head again. I manage to flip him off of me and start punching relentlessly at his face. My knuckles bleed making basically no difference against his Vibramium. I switch tactics and wrap my hands around his throat trying to cut off enough oxygen to knock him out. As I think I've succeeded he brings his knee up and flips me completely off of him flying into the air. My body smashes though glass and I start falling from the tower. Before I hit the ground I scream with all my might and stop myself cracking the ground and then falling with a strong thud but at least not one that would kill me. I groan and open my eyes to see concerned people around me. I shoot up and look for T'challa forgetting about the pain coursing through my body.

Instead Thor appears and I get in a defensive position not knowing who I can trust.

"It's okay my love. You did amazing." He says, I drop my stance knowing he's not a threat just by the tone of his voice.

"Something is going on with Nat, T'challa, Bucky and, Loki we have to help them." I inform him frantically keeping my eye out for T'challa.

Thor chuckles and I look at him incredulously.

"This was all part of a training exercise!" He booms. People start to disperse no longer interested.

I sigh in relief.

"I'm just glad nothing is wrong with them. I was really scared." I say looking down.

"You didn't show it. You were amazing and have proved that you will do what's necessary even if it's against us." He smiles. I relax and start feeling the pain setting in. Thor can tell and picks me up bridal style and brings me back up the tower.

When we get up there Bucky and Loki are still knocked out and T'challa is trying to help Natasha get out. I giggle at their growing frustration and sing melting the ice drenching Natasha.

"Really? You couldn't have directed it somewhere else?" She looks at her now drenched clothes. I laugh.

"I'd say you deserve that for making me believe you were being mind controlled or some shit but I don't think that's punishment enough." I smirk.

"Speaking of, are you okay?" T'challa asks concerned moving to look me over.

"Yes I'll be okay, I have my healing." I smile.

"Are you all okay? I tried not to hurt you all too much but I have to say you're all fearsome foes."

"Ah we'll be okay." He answers. "Though I'm not sure Loki's ego will be able to handle this, when you saw through his tricks, his face! Absolutely priceless!"

I laugh and go to check on their unconscious bodies. I sing and heal anything I might've done to hurt them and keel over.

"Shit I've never felt the pain the I inflict before. Usually I don't heal the people I fight." I laugh trying to distract myself from this added pain.

I motion for Nat and T'challa to come get healed but they both deny. Loki and Bucky begin to stir awake and immediately start apologizing explaining what was happening. I laugh and wrap them in an embrace.

"I know already. And I'm not mad my loves. This is all part of the process."
