Cursed [Loki fanfiction]

14. Goodbye

Odin was gaining on Loki with the staff in his hand. Crypt could feel his desperation to kill which made him dangerous. She was a nice distance away and a blast from his staff would only blow up in his face.

Odin gripped his staff as he prepared to attack. With one massive swing he just missed Loki's face. Loki, he was trying to kill Loki. Why? Panic set in, she had trapped them as she tried to get to Earth and there was no distance separating the two as they exchanged blows.

Crypt took aim, hummed a few notes and shot a bullet-like stream of her own blood towards Odin. It went straight though the palm of his hand. Odin's own blood began to spurt out of the hole but not before the shock wave of the impact sent him flying, smashing out of the Bifrost tunnel. Looking back up from the hole Odin had left, Loki wasn't there, but there was a second hole.

No, had the wave go him to? Was he suffocating in the black void of space, because of her?

Crypt landed where she had intended to be, on top of the Avengers tower.

Frigga had not cursed her, she had given her a gift, a way to hide. Crypt could change between Scinlæce, fox and one other appearance. Human. Her soul felt like it had three sections all working simultaneously to help her. Reaching inside herself she changed into her human form and inspected it in the glass of the tower. Dirty blonde, the same icy eyes, lightly tanned skin and finger nails, no claws. Crypt was still in her silver ceremonial armour, she would need to change but that was a different problem.

She crept inside, not triggering any of the alarms and grabbed a pen and paper. Kneeling by the new coffee table she wrote an apology/goodbye note which explained everything and how sorry she was that she didn't tell anyone and that Fury would not need to worry as she would never reveal her head in the world ever again. Crypt signed her name at the bottom before leaving it on the table and sneaking out of the tower via the ground floor.

No one gave her a second look, except maybe for the clothes as she walked the streets of New York City. Crypt found a dodgy looking item exchange shop and asked behind the counter if they had any clothes, luckily they did. She selected a black tank top, short faux leather jacket and boots with a pair of worn out jeans.

She would have to exchange something for it so she hid the snake tooth necklace under her armour, Crypt knew how humans worked and she did not have it in her to get rid of the gift from Loki. She offered her armour for the clothes and the cashier agreed with not much fuss and pointed out the changing rooms. All the clothes fitted, thank Frigga and she left the shop.

They would be looking for her in New York so while Heimdall did not know what she looked like yet she would have to leave as quickly as possible.
