The Love Of Mischief

Chapter 39

Since our return home was delayed, Stark invited us to his New Year's party tonight. I wasn't really in the mood to party but Loki thought it would be a great way to end the holiday (Yeah, Because putting me in a room filled with people is a great idea)
"Sweetheart, It will be fine" Loki kissed the side of my head. I took a deep breath and agreed. I fiddled with my ring. How it survived my meltdown I will never know?
"Still a bad idea" I folded my arms. Loki smiled and hugged my waist.
"Oh, firecracker. I have some news for you" Tony walked from the bar. I looked behind me and tilted my head.
"And that would be?"
"Wanda can either remove your kill command or add an off command" Tony sat on the sofa near us. Putting his feet on the coffee table. This was rather irritating. Only because I am the head maid and like to keep things tidy but this was Stark's home. I couldn't say anything.
"Which one is it?" I asked.
"I don't know. I wasn't listening. She'll be here soon so you can ask her" Tony shrugged as he downed his drink. This tablet thing went off. His eyes went into the back of his head "Now If you will excuse me, Someone downstairs cannot make a decent cocktail"

"So what do you think Wanda will be able to do for you?" Loki asked as Tony left in the elevator.
"I'm hoping she can take the command away. Would be nice not waking up with murderous thoughts every day" I rubbed my temples. My head felt like the was a swarm of bees in it.
"Weather headache?" Loki rubbed my back as I laid down, My head in his lap.
"I don't have the desire to burn anything or destroy so I am guessing so" I groaned. I thought back to last night. I was sat up in bed reading my file. Loki had long passed out. I kept going back to my parents' names. I wish I knew how their names were familiar to me. My Mother's name was Norse, I knew that much but my father, Was still a little fuzzy. Who was Surtur? Did I get my powers from him? Or my mother? Or even one of them would be nice. At least I would have something in common with them.
"What's on your mind pet?" Loki played with my hair. Do I dare tell him my concerns?
"I think my brain is trying to make its way through my eye sockets," I said. I was lying.
"Think you need to go lay down in a dark room" Loki shuffled on the sofa. I forced myself to sit up as Loki stood up. He held his hand out for me to take. I nearly fell back onto the sofa as I stood up. Loki grabbed me by the waist and held me close to him. I flopped my head onto his shoulder "Amelia?"
"Head hurts" I mumbled. I kept my eyes closed as I felt Loki carry me bridal style.
"Let's you get you to the room" He whispered. I didn't respond. I just grinned as I lay there. I was in my happy place though I wish was the circumstances were better "Don't grin"
"Can't... Help... It... Happy place" I whispered as Loki took me to my room. Thankfully, He doesn't have to go far as Tony loaned us a room for the time being and it was just a few feet from the kitchen

*Thunder*
My eyes shot open. My headache was gone but I was not in Midgard. This place smelt of ash and sulfur. I climbed off the bed. I went to the open window. I couldn't believe it.
"Muspellheim" I whispered in shock. I don't know how I know this place but I knew it. Volcanoes exploded and fireballs shot across the sky. I felt like I was choking. But not from the smoke. From fear. Why was I here? Was this a dream? "This had better be a dream" I went to a door but was distracted by a mirror "That cannot be me" I whispered. My outfit was pure black, With red veins of thread spread. I also had a cape that was black but had red underneath "Red is not my colour" My nails were long and sharp. I held my hands in front of my face and turned them around. I felt strong for the first time in a very long time. I heard yelling that sounded like someone being tortured so I ran out the door. Cape flapping behind me.

I made it to a staircase that led outside. Ash particles are flying around, I covered my face as I look upwards. Thick, unwavering clouds cover the expanse of the sky. It was blood red. There was a thunderous blast of noise that nearly threw me off balance. Flashes of blue among the red clouds.
"That's Thor's lightning!" I shouted in my head. I rushed down the stairs, taking two at a time. My heart was pounding so quickly I feared it might burst from my ribcage any moment "Thor better be okay" If I knew my future brother in law. He was causing trouble. Which meant Loki was not far behind him.

I rushed forward to see many dead bodies, Some were Demons but it was the others that shocked me. They were of Asgard. I searched among the bodies and to my horror, I found Lord Hogun and Lord Fandral. They had been craved in two. I wanted to collapse to my knees. My hands gripped their shirts.
"I will burn those that did this" I declared I let out a yell as I rushed to the wear lightning struck twice.

As I approached the edge of the courtyard, I saw a tall Demon standing in the middle. He held a large flaming sword strapped to his back. It was dripping with blood. I set my hands on fire.
"Oi, nob head!" I screamed. The Demon wasn't fussed. He kept his back to me as he fought whoever was in front of him "Oi, Rude asshole!" He looked over his shoulder "Yeah you, The one with the crown that looks like a giant eyebrow!"
"My dear child" The tall Demon turned around. I stopped in my tracks to see Thor and Loki in each arm. They were the 3 b's. Bloody, battered and bruised. Loki was trying to prise the fire Demon's fingers off his head, He was stabbing the Demon's legs "Come closer and watch as I bring the bastard sons of Odin to their knees" A large Fire Demon spoke. His smile glittered like a single row of ice spikes in Jotunheim's forests.
"Let them go!" I demanded. Standing tall.
"My child? Why should I do that?"
"So I can smack you in the face with a fireball and not worry about my friends!"
"Friends? You think these Asgardians are your friends" The Demon spat as he threw Thor behind him. Thor landed with a bone-breaking thud. He wasn't moving and blood was dripping out of his mouth.
"Thor!" Both Loki and I shouted. The Demon walked over to Thor and stamped on his head. Blood stained the ground under Thor's head. I screamed as the Demon held Loki in the air by his hair.
"And Is this one your friend also?"
"He is everything to me" I spoke. The fire in my hands burned brighter "So let him go"
"Everything you say" The Demon took one step closer to us and tiled his head.
"Yes, If you kill him then you may as well kill me!" I bellowed. The Demon's face dropped.
"My child, How could you taint our bloodline with his seed?" The Demon spat as he threw Loki to my feet.
"What do you mean, Tainted?" I dropped to my knees. I gripped Loki's hands as I cradle his head and placed it on my lap "What bloodline?"
"There's a life in you" He muttered as he pointed to my stomach. My hand flew to my stomach. Loki's eyes were wide. Loki instantly leant on his elbows and placed his hands on my stomach. He closed his eyes for a moment. My eyes lit up as my hands covered Loki's.
"Get your hands off her!" The pair heard a deep voice bellowed. Loki rolled his eyes. We turned back to the figures and gripped his sword "How could you even sleep with that thing?"
"Oh, Will you just shut up! Trying to have a happy moment here!" I yelled back.
"You are a disgrace of a daughter!" The Demon spoke. Loki looked at me with confusion.
"Your Surtur? You're my father?!" I tried not to vomit. I burped and covered my mouth "Oh god, You disgust me. God, you look like a rash that never went away. You talk about me tainting the bloodline, What was my mother then!"
"Do not speak that way to me, child" The Demon raised his hand and shot a ball of fire at us.

Loki somehow got in the way and took most of the blow, Shielding the both of us. He screamed in pain as he teleported us to behind a pillar.
"Amelia, You need to run!" Loki grunted through his teeth. I used my powers to cauterize the bleed in his shoulder.
"Loki, I think we are beyond that. He wants to kill us both" I replied as I shot a fireball at the Demon "There is nowhere I can run. He will tear the 9 realms apart looking for us"
"I can't lose either of you" Loki mumbled as he put his hand on my stomach.
"I think whatever happens after this., I'm screwed either way" I ducked as the fire demon threw another rock. 
"I'm sorry darling" Loki placed his forehead against mine. As we pulled apart, He had tears in his eyes "I should have protected you. The both of you"
"It's okay" I placed my hands on Loki's damp cheeks "We knew this would happen in the end. Truth be told, I always thought it was going to be Odin. There has to be a way that we can defeat him"
"We can't beat him without Thor and I can't believe that I am saying this, The Avengers" Loki panted "But Thor is dead and The Avengers won't get here in time" His eyes were hard and narrowed. His forehead was bleeding and blood was dripping down. Staining his vision "I don't know what to do. We are on our own" I pushed myself up against the pillar, and dusted off my trousers. I flung my cape off and helped Loki up.
"I have an idea"
"We are not doing get help" Loki dead faced.
"Not that. Call that plan B" I smiled "We charge him, and if we die, We die together" I sighed. Loki stared at me. He then summoned his draggers and gave me one. We set them both on fire.
"Together" Loki sighed "Just so you know, I don't regret any of this"
"Nor do I" I smiled.
"I love you, crazy-ass firecracker"
"I love you too, silver tongue"
"I am so glad that I got to live this life with you in it. Thank you for being my friend, My love. My wife. The mother of my child"
"Thank you for being my reason to smile again" Loki pulled me into a kiss. Even though it was rough, it was passionate.
"On 3" Loki smiled as he pulled away. Our backs against the pillar.
"1"
"2"
"3"
