Rebirth (Completed)

The Kiss

  Loki smirked when he knew that his words struck home. The girl shifted uncomfortably under his piercing stare and tried to break eye contact.

  "What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?" he taunted watching the flames of fury come alive in her beautiful eyes again.

  Serena growled and pressed the knife harder against his neck causing a trickle of blood to ooze out of the pale skin. He chuckled with insanity written all over his face daring her to finish the job.

  "What is your problem?" Serena hissed in annoyance, "Why are you so weird?"

  Before Loki could come up with a sarcastic reply, the door burst open and Iron Man aka Tony Stark walked in.

  Loki smirked and quickly pulled Serena into a kiss which made her gasp in surprise.

  "LOKI! GET YOUR FILTHY PAWS OFF MY LITTLE GIRL!" Tony's voiced shouted in anger.

  Serena stepped backwards unlocking their lips and placed a hand to her heart which was racing. Oh how she wanted to slap him, but before either her or Tony could react, Loki vanished into thin air.

 
  "Babydoll, are you okay?" Tony asked with concern laced in his voice.

  She whinced at the ridiculous nickname which Stark calls her. It was such an insult for she was trained to be an assissin by the Black Widow aka Natasha Romanova.

  "I'm fine," she answered calmly, "Just creeped out now."

  "Jarvis, why didn't you inform me that Reindeer Games was here harrasing my girl," Tony asked in a somewhat whiny tone

  "I am sorry sir," the robotic voice replied, "he somehow past through all the defenses and alarms. I also didn't pick him up on any of the security cameras."

  "That sneaky devil," Tony hissed under his breath.

 
  Thor walked in. "Brother Stark, what seems to be the matter?" his voice boomed making the windows to shake.

  "Great the loud mouth has arrived," Serena muttered while rolling her eyes.

  "I heard my brother's name be yelled out which confuses me for her has been dead for two years now."

  "WHAT?!?" both Tony and Serena exclaimed together.

  "Did I forget to mentioned that?" Thor asked in confusion to their reaction.

  "Apparently," Serena stated with sarcasm, "it must have slipped your mind."

  "If Loki is dead, then who was in this room kissing Babydoll?" Tony asked the question that was on Serena's mind, "He looked very much alive to me. I think Reindeer Games tricked you, Thor."

  Thor frowned once he realised Tony's words were true. "If my brother is alive then he defiantly deserves the title Trickster, for he has even fooled me into believing that he died to save Lady Jane and I," he hestiated before continuing, "Loki has my father's throne."

  Tony's eyes widen in disbelief and Serena's face paled a bit.

  "I told "Odin" that I didn't want to be king though I never would have known it was Loki in disguise as the All Father," Thor sighed, "Midgard is no longer safe for I know why he has come back to this world again."

  Thor turned and looked at Serena with eyes filled with worry before saying the next sentence that threw Tony into a rage.

  "He has come for you, Lady Serena."

 
  'Why me?' Was the first thought that popped into Serena's head, 'what is so special about me that Loki has claimed me?'

  Filled with confusion, she touched her lips that were anointed with the kiss. Serena shivered for she felt something that has died be awaken inside her, a fire rekindled. For some reason she realised that she has felt those lips upon hers before like a far off memory in the back of her mind which was locked away.

Suddenly a headache came upon her with such force that she groaned and fell to her knees clutching her head. Voices of the past were screaming at her to remember. Serena's vision began fading in and out. She felt Tony's hand on her shoulder shaking her gently.

"Serena?" his voice drifted away as a curtain of blackness fell over her eyes.

"SERENA!"

Another voice spoked in a softer tone with a british accent, "Anika."

Her world went black.
