Badass

28

Thor, my dad, Pietro, and I just landed on Asgard. The others are getting Dr. Strange and going to Wakanda. I can't imagine how confused they all are. I might be, too. I didn't give them much to go off of. Other then, people are gonna die. Their family will die.

I had changed before we left. Didn't really want to walk around Asgard in a nun costume. Weird. Now, I'm just wearing a black hoodie and black sweat pants.

I don't greet Heimdall and he knows why. I don't have time.

"Pietro, can you get me there?" I ask.

He doesn't answer, just speeds me away while Thor and my dad speak to Heimdall and make their ways to Odin to ask for the Tesseract that I'm getting anyway.

We reach the doors to the dungeon and Pietro stays out while I go in.

"Loki."

"Lilith?"

"Yeah. I need your help."

"Not sure I can help."

"Thanos."

He looks at me and stands up, going to the golden window.

"What about him?"

"He's gonna kill my family."

"Why do I care?"

"Because, I know you hate him. And he's gonna kill you if you don't help."

"How do you know this?"

"I saw the future."

"How?"

"I don't know. Do you have the real tesseract or is the one they have real?"

"Why do you need it?"

"Thanos will destroy Asgard to get it. I don't want that."

"They have the real one."

"Are you sure? If you aren't I will force my way through this barrier and beat the shit out of you. Is that the real one?"

"Yes. It's the real one."

"Thank you. I'll come back to see you when I've killed him. I'll be nicer."

"I hope."

"Goodbye, Loki."

"Goodbye, Lilith."

I run out of the dungeon and Pietro speeds us to the throne room where the others are.

"Please, Father."

"No."

"You know what? I'm sorry I'm about to talk to you like this, but, I also don't give a shit about that right now. If I don't get that damn stone, Loki will die. Asgard will be destroyed along with the lives of many. Do you want that? My dad, my friends, are going to die. Give me the tesseract." I order.

"This child has heart. The worthy one. This is why your worthy."

"Yeah. Cool. Don't care. Tesseract."

"Guard. Go get the tesseract."

"Yes, Odin."

"Good job, Darling." Frigga congratulates.

"Thank you." I say with a quick smile.

I look at a impressed Pietro and smirk at him. He opens his arms and I pull him into a hug around the waist.

A few minutes later, a guard walks in with a glass with the tesseract inside it. I take the glass and thank Odin and Frigga. Pietro speeds us to the dome as Thor and my dad fly.

Heimdall drops us in Wakanda. We hurriedly get inside the palace and Nat takes us to the rest of the group.

"So, what's gonna happen? You didn't give us much." Steve says.

"I know. Sorry. Good to meet you Dr. Strange." I say and he nods. "Thanos is a big purple guy from the planet Titan. He's after the infinity stones. Time. Reality. Soul. Mind. Power. Space. He's after them so that he can kill half the universe."

"Why would he do that?" Nat asks.

"He thinks that we will thrive because there are more resources for everyone. Wrong. We're gonna crash and burn. He will use the stones and half of all life in the universe will literally turn to dust and ash. Dr. Strange. You can look into the future. Can you do that for me? Please?"

"Okay."

He sits down and does some magic shit that I don't know and his head starts to freak the fuck out.

"That's freaky." Sam says.

"Are we sure that's normal?" T'challa asks.

"Yeah. I saw him to it in the future. He didn't see anything good. He saw only one future that we won."

"Did that happen?" Steve asks.

"Yes. But, you three and Loki died. I'm not letting that happen."

"What are you gonna do?" Dad asks.

"Looks like I'm gonna be an Avenger earlier then we had planned."

"No."

"Yes. It's happening. I'm not leaving. I'll be fine. Best he can do to me is choke the life out of me. That's how Loki died. He won't get there."

"How do you know that?" Bucky asks.

"I won't let him. None of you will."

"No. We won't." Dad says.

He puts power dampening cuffs on me. I look up at him with a straight face.

"Sorry."

"Sure."

I throw the cuffs onto my knee and they break open. I toss them on the table next to me and stand up.

"I'm fighting whether any of you like it or not. Try and stop me."

I walk out of the room and sit in the hall against the wall. I sit on the floor with my knees up to my chest and my head against the wall. Pietro comes out and sits quietly next to me.

"Hi." I say.

"Hello. You're very strong."

"I said something like that when we meet." I laugh.

"You did."

"You're very fast." I repeat.

"Thank you."

"Your welcome. Something you need?"

"I need you to kiss me."

"Okay."

I turn my head towards him and he places his hand on my cheek and kisses me softly.

"I needed that, too."

"Anything else you need?"

"I need to say something. I don't expect you to say anything back. Don't feel pressured."

"What is it?"

"I love you, Pietro." I say and he slowly smiles.

"You do?"

"Yes."

"I love you, too. My принцесса."

We smile largely at each other and kiss again. This kiss means so much more then any others before. It's full of love and care. It's sweet and soft, but, rough. It's amazing.

"That was the best kiss you have ever given me." I say with our eyes still closed.

"Yes, it was."
