Black wings

Chapter 29

I DON'T OWN PICTURE

Ivy share some information with Ricci's family and they told her what they already knew, before she and Loki left the mansion. Luca tried to insist that they let his driver take them home but she refuse. "We will have our ride here soon." She assure before they rush away. She hear how gates closed behind them but walk toward spot they were left earlier deep in thoughts. Loki walk quietly next to her. They walk toward compound for some time before he clear his throat. She snap out of her thoughts and turn to look at him. "Did you really plan to walk all the way on that place?" He ask warily and glance at her heels. She snort. "You can always carry me." She answer sweetly. He raise his eyebrows for a moment before mischievous grin spread to his face. 

Ivy realize her mistake. "I didn't really mean it." She try to stop Loki. He quickly pick her in his arms while she yelp. "I can walk Loki." She whine and try to struggle without succeed. "And risk that your feet get hurt in those heels? Never." He answer smugly. She start to giggle for his proud look. "You realize I could just fly in there and leave you here?" She ask. "Your loyal bodyguard? You have cold heart, My Lady." He sigh dramatically. She laugh and give up. She lay her head on his shoulder. "You know, I could get cab or fly us on compound. It isn't really far from here but still." She offer. "I don't mind walking." She look at him unbelieving. "You are a prince, I doubt that you have walk anywhere in your entire time." She tease him with smile. 

Loki roll his eyes. "I might be prince but I am still a warrior, of course I have walked." He answer. "I never said that you are not a warrior." Ivy answer quietly, remembering his comment about her and Thor. He glance at her frowning. She refuse to look his eyes. "Fairy?" "I know you are a warrior, I believe you are great one actually." She murmur. He stop walking and stare at her. "Do you want to get down?" He ask quietly. She finally look at him and see sadness and something else in his eyes and radiating from him. She frown when he lower her down. She move to stand front of him. "Loki? Did I offend you? I didn't meant to." She ask worried and try to catch his eyes. "You didn't." He answer coldly and walk around her. "We need to hurry." He command over his shoulder.

Ivy frown and rush after Loki. "Loki? Talk to me, please." She plead when she finally reach him. "There is nothing to talk about." "There is, I meant it. I believe you are great warrior, it just pains me that I can't get that controller from you or see you really in action." She try to explain. He stop and turn to glare at her coldly. She stop next to him. "Really? You believe that I am a great warrior. Let me tell you this little fairy-" He spat. "I am a Jotun, one of the monsters that parents tell to their children in nights, cause of nightmares. I can only bring pain and destruction around me! I should have died as infant, THAT WAS MY BIRTHRIGHT!" He snap at her. She blink in shock. 

Loki take deep breath in and turn away with sneer. "You should find someone else to be your friend Fairy of Elements." He say before he start to walk again. Ivy snap out of it for his sad and empty voice. She rush to hug him from behind. She wrap her arms tightly around his chest and hide her face under his nape. "You are not a monster, you are my friend and I trust you. You have bring joy and laughter in my life in this short time we have known each others." She murmur against his jacket. She feel how he tremble, let go and quickly move to stand front of him. She grab his face between her hands and make him look at her. "I don't judge you for what you have done, I will judge you what you will decide to do in future. I want to be your friend, I want to be able to stand by your side in battlefield, I want to have your back in same way you had mine today." She tell him with encouraging smile.

Loki stare at Ivy's eyes. She still has gentle hold of his face and soft smile on her lips. He has sad expression. "I don't judge you by your heritage. I don't care if you are Asgardian or Jotun, it doesn't matter. Only what you decide to do, will matter." She promise and brush her thumbs over his cheekbones. "Nothing else." She continue quietly. He let out shaking breath. "You are an idiot." He mumble and little sad smile come to his lips. "I disagree, I am fucking genius." She chuckle and drop her hands. For her surprise, he move to hug her. She quickly hug back. "You are not alone Trickster." She murmur against his chest. "Neither are you little fairy." He mumble in her hair.

Ivy smile to Loki's answer but their moment get interrupted when she hear car driving fast toward them. She turn her head to look at it. She frown when black car speed up when they came in sight, then window open and she notice silhouette of a gun from window. "Shit!" She curse, turn them so she is between car and Loki and push them in trench. She burst her wings to come as shield around them. Then they open fire. She grunt in pain when multiple bullets hit her wings. "Ivy!" Loki yell in horror and try to wiggle away from her. She hold him tighter. "Don't move you idiot." She hiss. Soon car went past them and brake. "You still have that dagger?" She whisper. He nod worried. "When I move my wing out of way kill them." She command and give him her dagger too. 

Ivy listen when footsteps approach them. "3-2-1-" She count and move her wing out of way while rolling away from Loki. He immediately throw one dagger to man's throat. She raise her head and jump to feet. She notice third man slip inside car when second one get killed by dagger. She command vines tie the car on spot. Soon it is covered in vines and man scream in fear and try to gas away without a succeed. She move her wings to better position to walk and hiss in pain. She feel how blood pour from bullet wounds and couple bullets are still in place but ignore them. Loki has already collected the daggers and walk toward car. She rush next to him and they stop next to vehicle side by sides. 

"Does he have a gun?" Ivy wonder aloud. As an answer gunshot came but bullet stop on vines. "Looks like this mortal has some fight left in him." Loki smirk darkly. She laugh and smell fear coming from man inside. "Any suggestion?" She ask sweetly. "Maybe I can cut him in little pieces?" He answer and man inside yelp in fear and almost sob. "Doesn't sound too bad but I am curious about who send them, can you get the answer out of him?" She ask. "With pleasure My Lady." "Good, I make room for you to take him out so he can answer our questions." She smile darkly, wave her hands and vines start to move.
