The Avengers: the story of Rising Storm

The Return of Loki

" Thor, you need to get to the prison block now," Natasha said breathlessly as she dashed on.
Thor was interested, what was happening? He followed her to the prison block and stared in surprise at what he was seeing. His brother, Loki, was glaring at him from the prison cell beside Alex. He was adorned in his helmet and formal attire.
" Brother, who did you get here?" Thor asked.
" You think I wanted to be stuck here in this dump of a planet? My new employer thought I should warn you that he is coming for a package and he doesn't care who he kills to get it," Loki snapped.
" Tell us who you're working for!" Hawkeye ordered.
" You take me for a fool? Why would I tell you that when I so enjoy watching you struggle to figure it out," Loki laughed evilly.
" Because you're going to stay here until you do tell us," Natasha countered.
Loki smiled.
" It's hardly the quarters I had on Asgard but it will do. Besides, I have company and it will be interesting to chat to this girl. Whatever did she do to end up in here?" Loki asked with curiosity.
He turned his dark gaze on Alex who growled at him menacingly.
" I don't talk to those I don't trust," Alex growled.
" Then I shall have to gain your trust," Loki decided with a grin.
He turned back to the avengers as they left the room silently.
" I get the distinct feeling that you don't like them. You are stuck here too, for how long?" Loki inquired.
" For the rest of my life unless I get under control," Alex grumbled.
" What do you mean?" Loki asked.
Alex looked up at him as her eyes lost their human look and the black parts of her eyes grew larger and she spoke in a deep, growling sort of voice.
" This is what I mean," Alex said in that deep voice.
" No, it's not what you mean, it's what I mean. You don't get a say in this, you mutt!" Alex said in her normal voice.
" He can get us out of here," she said in the deep voice again.
" I know that but if we leave then Shield won't help us and they will all believe that we really are the child of darkness," she said in her normal voice.
Alex was arguing with herself, it was like two people in the one mind. On darker and one light.
Loki blinked in interest.
" You sure have a problem there kid," Loki commented.
" I've got plans for you, so does my master," he muttered under his breath, so that she couldn't hear him.

Tony Stark entered the prison room knowing what he had to do. He looked in surprise at Alex. She had refused all food and was so thin that he was surprised she wasn't exhausted yet but she was pacing her prison cell in annoyance. Loki was watching him intently.
" Alex, may I talk to you?" Tony asked.
" No," she answered.
He came forward anyway.
" I want to apologise for what happened to Eliza. I thought she was you, it wasn't supposed to end like this," Tony apologised profusely.
Alex just stared at him in disbelief.
" There's nothing you can say that will make me forgive you. What you did was wrong, keeping me here is wrong. Everything about this little scheme you have for me is wrong. If you want me to forgive you then get my family out of the hydra prison. It's in the pAfrican jungle, there are virtually no defences and my family are oh the second level. Fury won't listen to me but I want them free," Alex suggested with hope in her voice.
Tony nodded and left, he had to convince Fury. If her family was free then Alex might be able to control herself without all the worry about them. Then she would be free and he would finally be free from the mistake he had made.
