Loki's Quest (Loki Fanfiction)

Making Plans

Meanwhile as Diane waited in the Valkyrior's Hall for Brunhilde's decision Peter's Quill ship arrived at the meeting coordinates arranged by Yondu.

-Let me do all the talking-Peter told both Gamora and Loki-I know Yondu better than I would like to-

Loki looked inquisitively at Gamora.

-It will be all right, he's just kidding- she reassured Loki

-All right- Loki agreed although not completely convinced.

-Yondu, it's been a long time-Peter smiled as he greeted the blue-skinned alien.

-What do you want Peter? You know my time is valuable-Yondu replied.

-To make you a proposition-Peter told him —We need someone who can help us steal Thanos' treasures-

-You are kidding me, right? —Yondu replied with a smirk —Although tempting I'd rather pass-

-I thought you liked challenges- Peter insisted —We are only interested in one item, you can keep everything else you find. Besides, I'm pretty sure the idea had already crossed your mind.-

Yondu laughed —It had, you are right; but it can't be done.-

-Why not? - Peter asked

-Because you would need something really big like a planetary invasion or something to lure Thanos as well as most of his army away from his ship, and even then you would still have to fight an army to get to his vault.-

-You are sure that's the only way?-Peter worryingly asked

-Yes, I'm sure —Yondu replied —You can't anticipate when and where something like that is going to happen, so it's pointless. Besides we would need the schematics of Thanos' vessel.-

-I could provide you with the schematics —Gamora told Yondu-I know Sanctuary II as the palm of my hand.-

-Well, now all we need is to Thanos conveniently decide to conquer a planet within our reach-Yondu mocked them.

They all stayed silent for a moment until Loki spoke —What if we could lure Thanos out wherever we want him?-

-How?-Yondu asked intrigued

-Leave that to me —Loki answered —Would you accept the job?-

-I might be tempted —Yondu grinned —But I would need an incentive.-

-How much of an incentive you would wish?-Loki smiled he knew Yondu would accept his offer.

-2 billion credits- Yondu stated

-That can be arranged —Loki stated —How soon can you be ready?-

-By tomorrow-Yondu answered —But I would need the incentive first.-

-And you shall have it —Loki agreed-Half of it, the other half after the job is done.-

-I think I like your friend Peter- Yondu smiled at the prospect of the money he would earn in a single hit.

After Yondu and Peter left the twins joined them to ask them what had happened, as they walked in Gamora was asking Loki —How do you intent to lure Thanos out?-

-With a bait he can't resist-Loki answered with heavyheart

-What do you mean father, what bait? - Even asked.

Loki remained silent as he tried to figure out how to answer his question. As he did Gamora understood what he had meant.

-Loki you can't be serious. You can't possibly mean that ...-Gamora' s voice sounded alarmed.
