Bond of Stone ~ A Loki x OC Story

Chapter 2

Rhiannon's eyes flash open as she quickly sits up and finds herself back in the bathtub in her room.

With the water now being too cold to be considered relaxing anymore, she drains the water and hops out. As shes getting dressed, she takes her phone off "do not disturb" mode and sees that she missed a call and had a voicemail from Tony.

"Rhi!...The tower isn't safe anymore! You need to get out of there! As a matter of fact, take one of my cars and get out of the city...as fast as you can! I'm heading there now to-"

The message cut out before Tony could finish what he was saying.

Wasting no time, she grabs a small duffle bag and quickly fills it with some clothes and necessities before making her way out of the tower. As she's about to press the button in the elevator to take her down to the garage, she notices she's something missing.

My necklace!

The necklace, a beautiful moonstone, was her mother's and all she had left of her. She always made sure to never take it off, except for when she worked out or slept.

Rhiannon didn't want to leave without it and risk losing it so she runs back to her room to grab it off the night stand. However, on her way back to the elevator she, freezes in her tracks. Someone was standing out on the balcony. And that someone...was Loki.

"J.A.R.V.I.S., where's Tony? Please tell me he's close."

"He's flying in now, Miss."

Rhiannon looks over to the landing pad and sees Tony. Both him and Loki, now making their way inside. Having no where else to go, she ducks behind the bar to hide and listens in on what happens.

Loki speak up first.

"Please tell me you're going to appeal to my humanity"

"Actually, I'm planning to threaten you."

"You should've left your armor on for that."

"Yeah, it's seen a bit of mileage." Tony makes his way over to the bar and sees Rhiannon hiding. He gives her a small gesture to let her know to stay put before he continues. "And, you've got the glow stick of destiny. Would you like a drink?"

"Stalling me won't change anything.

"No, no. Threatening." Tony starts pouring what looks like bourbon into a glass. "No drink? You sure? I'm having one."

"The Chitari are coming. Nothing will change that. What have I to fear?"

"The Avengers. That's what we call ourselves, sorta like a team. 'Earth's mightiest Heroes' type thing."

"Yes, I've met them."

"Yeah, takes awhile to get any sort of traction. I'll give ya that."

Rhiannon looks up to see Tony placing metal bracelets on both of his wrists.

"But, let's do a head count here. Your brother, the demigod. A super solider. A living legend, who kinda lives up to the legend. A man, with breath-taking anger management issues, a couple of master assassins, and you big fella. You've managed to piss off every single one of them."

"That was the plan."

"Not a great plan." Tony leaves the bar and starts walking towards Loki. "When they come, and they will, they'll come for you."

"I have an army."

"We have a Hulk."

"Oh, I thought the beast had wondered off."
