Cursed [Loki fanfiction]

15. An Aeroplane

Crypt managed to get through airport security and boarded a plane to with no problem, despite not having a ticket. She sat down in economy taking a window seat. More people boarded and no one raised a fuss over her being in their seat. Crypt had a sneaky suspicion that this was Frigga's doing. She didn't know where she was going nor did she care

The aeroplane took off and the captain began the announcement. This plane was headed for Greenland. The seat belt sign went off and Crypt sat back in her chair and relaxed, despite soon noticing that they was no leg room.

Time seemed to trickle by and the corner of Crypt's mouth twitched. Something was wrong. The pressurised air was thick with danger and tension. She sat up and inconspicuously looked around. A few people stood out to her. No, looking closer there were more people like them than there were genuine passengers

And they were all around her. They had found her. Sinking back in her seat Crypt began to get nervous. They would know what she was and they would have been told to kill.

Did they know that she knew that they were there? One of the hitmen twitched. That was it, her warning.

Diving straight into the foot well a bullet flew over her head. A man on her left had a smoking pistol. Jumping up, Crypt delivered a kick to his face.

More bullets were fired from guns and she could now see how ridiculously out-numbered she was. Running around the plane, having close calls with lead, Crypt needed a plan. These assailants didn't care who they killed as innocent flyers got hit by wayward shots.

"I am bigger than my body"

She picked a guy up, using magic and through him across the plane at another gun man taking them both out. Looking at he hands she knew that she was back in her Scinlæce form. People screamed at the sight of her.

"I am colder than this home"

Another agent ran towards her. Crypt mixed punches with dodges, ducking under the mans punch and getting two more kicks in the kidney. A quick blast of magic sent him flying. No, too hard, she sent him straight through the wall of the plane and crashing into the wing, breaking it off.

The air was sucked out of the cabin along with an attacker and any lose items. The plane was at a breathable altitude but as the pressure left Crypt was being sucked out. She grabbed on to a chair as the pressure stabilised.

She ran through the cabins towards the cockpit with the pilots, telling them to stay at the current altitude and keep the plane steady. Crypt hated planes. A series of kicks and fists later her chasers were flat out on the floor. She was now in the main part of the plane.

A huge thud was heard from the roof. Something was out there. The back of the plane was ripped apart an passengers screamed. Thor landed in the plane.

"CRYPT!" he boomed. She looked at him as another attacker took a swing at her, Crypt kneed them in the stomach. Someone was sneaking up on Thor but with one hit from Mjolnir sent them flying through the hole. "Are these your people?!" Crypt shouted about the noise.

"No." Thor replied.

Who were these people? Why were they attacking? Who did they work for?

One of the attackers ran towards her and Crypt saw an emblem on their jacket. S.H.I.E.L.D.

A group of five sprang forward and she only dodged, realising too late that they had knives as one sliced across her arm allowing blood to dribble down. Crypt couldn't face five attackers even with Thor, she ran for the hole at the back of the plane and climbed up and out.

The wind hit her and she was almost taken off the plane.

"I am meaner than my demons"

Crypt used some magic to glue herself to the shell of the plane. A jet sounded above her. S.H.I.E.L.D. She raised her hands. A speck of red was in the cockpit. Nat!

Crypt opened a mind link, thanking Loki for showing her how.

"Nat!"

"Crypt? What is this?" she replied confused.

"Never mind. This plane is coming down and there are passengers that need to evacuate. Help them!". Crypt cut the mind link.

Thor lands onto the jet and gets Natasha and Clint onto the plane. Crypt has to delay the plane crashing into the ground.

"I am bigger than these bones"

Drawing blood from the dead assailants, Crypt formed the tail and the broken wing out of blood. However, this means that she has to stay on the shell of the plane.

She can feel her energy draining from her veins, Crypt knew that she could not keep the plane in the air for much longer.

"Nat? Is everyone off yet?"

"No, but almost. Fury has sent most of S.H.I.E.L.D that will still listen to him to try and get you. Everyone will be off soon"

Crypt felt deflated, the years of suppressing her powers had left them weak. Her control on the blood was slipping.

"And all the kids cried out "please stop you're scaring me". I can't help this awful energy."
