Chapter 27

I DON'T OWN PICTURE

Suddenly Ivy grab Loki's forearm and pull controller closer to her face. She examine it and frown. "This is more complicated than mine was. Have you tried to take it off?" She ask, let go and look at him. "Of course. It gave me a shock until Stark turn it off." He answer bitterly. She scoff and roll her eyes. "They really think you are more dangerous than me." She complain. He snort and smirk a little to her. She laugh a little too. "I will think a way to get it from you, give me couple weeks. If they don't do it, I will." She promise and nudge his arm when doors open on ground floor. She ignore his doubting face and walk out from elevator. She go to door and walk outside. 

Soon Loki is next to Ivy. "We aren't taking car?" He ask confuse. "Yes we are, not just one from garage. They have trackers and I doubt we get inside with one of them. We will take cab. I stole one of Tony's credit cards." She smirk mischievously and show the card. He snort and smile proudly. "Full of surprises little fairy." She grin and wink an eye to him. It didn't take long for them to get a cab. She give the address and driver turn toward the destination. She adjust the skirt to better position over her dagger so driver won't freak out and look out from window. They stay in silence even when driver tried to spark a conversation. One glare from Loki and he shut his mouth for Ivy's amuse. 

Ivy command the driver to leave them little before mansion, paid their trip and turn toward small road after cab has got out of sight. "Fairy?" Loki ask unsure. "15 years. I haven't visited them in 15 years. I hope they still has my name on the list." She sigh, roll her shoulders and start to lead the way. It didn't take long before they get front of gates. She look around and notice doorbell button. "They used to have guard in here all the time." She complain and press it. Soon man approach the gate. He is young and she groan quietly. There is no way he will recognize her. "Hello. We are here to meet Luca Ricci." She greet the man and smile politely. He look them up and down suspiciously. "Do you have invitation?" "Well, not exactly. I have always been welcome here." She answer. 

Guard look at Ivy and scoff. "I don't know who you are and have never seen you before, get lost before I call the police." He threaten and glare at them. She sigh disappointed. "You might want to inform Godfather that Gardenfairy has come to see him before you send us away." She tell him. He turn to look at her unbelieving. "Gardenfairy? What are you playing at girl?" He snap. Loki take a step closer for Ivy. She wave her hand to stop him. "If you want to hold your position you should make that call." She instruct him sweetly. He look at her warily before going inside booth. "Gardenfairy?" Loki ask amused. She peek over her shoulder to look at him and he smirk her quickly, clearly amused. "I needed a code name and I wore green dress on that time too." She explain and smirk.

"YOU IDIOT! OPEN THE GATE FOR THEM IMMEDIATELY!" Someone yell furious inside the booth. Same time as gate start to open older man rush from booth toward them. Ivy look at the man for a moment before she recognized him. "Marco Russo, you bastard are still alive!" She greet him with smile and walk to him as soon as gate is open enough for them to pass. "Ivy Stormborn, still as beautiful as last time I saw you." Marco greet and they greet each others properly. "I see that you have got yourself new companion signorina." He say and look at Loki who stand behind her. "Yes actually, he is currently here as my bodyguard. My new companions demanded that." She explain. He laugh loudly. "Like you need something like that." He answer.

Ivy chuckle but didn't comment. "I heard that little Luca has taken the position as head of the family." Marco sigh and start to lead the way toward front door. "Yes, Alex Ricci was assassinated two years ago. We just found the culprit and are planning our vendetta." He explain. She nod but didn't comment. "Is Luca still as charming as 15 years ago? He was 13 last time I saw him." She ask instead. "He has grown to be wise man signorina. His father would have been proud." He praise him while opening the door. Ivy walk inside, Loki fast behind her. Marco lead them to room with coffee table and couches on opposite sides of it. "I will go get Mr. Ricci, please wait here." Marco say, bow and go away. She look around and notice two doors on opposite sides of room and glass wall with door leading to terrace. 

Ivy sit on couch and Loki position himself behind her. "How it feel to be mere guard and not on lead role?" She ask and turn to look at him with little teasing smile. "Little insulting." He answer snarky. She let out a laugh and smile. "To be honest, this feels familiar. It is you instead of Thor in spotlight." He mumble quietly. She frown and look at him. He look front of him instead of her and she realize that he didn't mean that she hear that. She decide to let it go this time, there isn't enough time to handle that topic now, she can already hear footsteps approaching. 

It didn't take long before door slam open and handsome young man with black hair and brown eyes approach Ivy with wide smile. She stand up and move to greet him. "Luca! You have grown to be as handsome as your father." She praise him. He grab her hand and kiss her knuckles. "Signorina Stormborn, time has only made you more beautiful." He flirt before raising his head back up. She feel anger radiate from Loki but ignore it. She let out a laugh while taking her hand back. "Such a flirt." She chuckle. He point toward couches and she sit back down while he move to sit to other side of coffee table. 

"So, what has earned us the pleasure to get you here?" Luca ask politely while servant quickly set coffee and pastries on table before rushing out, closing the door after her. Ivy glance quickly at his bodyguard while taking her cup from table. "Business Mr. Ricci, business." She answer and sip her coffee. He nod approving and take his cup. "And what do you need signorina? Passport or money?" He ask and sip. She snort to his comment. "Neither. I am here actually to discuss about your vendetta against Natasha Romanoff." This catch his attention. "What about it?" She lower the cup with plate on her thigh. "I want you to drop it and make a deal with me." She answer confidently. He blink couple times in shock, put the cup on coffee table and sneer to her. "What?!" He growl.
