Avenge Of the Guardians

Chapter Nine -After Party

"No." Emalie stated calmly. "I love somebody else." She turned around to where her friends and sister were hiding. "You guys can come out now. I know it's you. And now would be a great time to stop this ridiculous wedding."

Xassic, Thor, Sam, Tony, and Steve came out of their hiding spot and approached Emalie. Emalie's eyes widened and she ran to Steve. Steve ran to her. She jumped into his arms and he caught her.

"Emalie!" He cried with joy hugging her close. Then he began to check her face and body. "Are you alright?! Did they hurt you, touch you in any wrong way?!"

"S..Steve.." Emalie stated calmly as she put her hands on his moving his hands away from her face. "Relax. I'm fine. They didn't do anything to me..." She looked away. "Well actually..." She pulled up the sleeve of her dress showing the numbers embedded in her arm.

Steve's eyes and expression filled with shock then anger. He gripped Jack by his collar and got in his face. "WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER YOU BASTARD?!" He yelled furious with the white haired boy. "Tell me or you won't live much longer to see your 19th birthday!"

Jack was terrified and put his hands up in defence. "I-It wasn't me I swear! I would never do that to her!"

Steve growled getting closer. "Then who did it?!"

"L-Loki...he had two of his men ordered to do it! I had nothing to do with it! I honest to God, did try to stop him! Just ask Emalie!"

Steve looked at his fiancee with worry that Jack was lying. "Emalie? Is he lying or telling the truth?"

Emalie looked at him. "The truth. He did try to tell Loki not to do it but Loki just knocked him out and continued to order his men to carve the numbers in my arm. Jack would never do that to me."

Steve growled and let Jack go, glaring at him. Tony walked over and inspected Emalie's arm.

"I can have Jarvis heal the scars back at STARK tower. Come on Emalie." Tony stated and he left with the brown haired girl.

Xassic looked at everyone and crossed her arms. "Now what? Are we gonna kick Loki and Pitch's ass or what?"

Thor looked at her and ran his fingers through his hair a gave a big grunty sigh. "Xassic darling, I don't wish to hurt my brother. Can't we just arrest him and kill Pitch instead?"

Xassic looked at Jack and walked up to him, grabbed his shirt and pulled him close.

"Where is Pitch and Loki?" She said in a deep, calm voice.

"I-I don't know! I swear! Th-they took off before the ceremony!" He said, shaking, trying to get out of Xassic's grip.

"Who's idea was it to brand my sister?!" She yelled.

Jack finally got free from Xassic's grip and hit the floor hard. He looked at her in fear.

"Loki's idea! I would never do that to Emalie!"

Steve pushed him back. "You've got to know where they are! We're killing Pitch then sending Loki back to the jail. And YOU..." He got in his face and poked his chest roughly, "I'd gladly kill you myself if Xassic lets me."

"Stevie." Xassic stated calmly as she placed a hand on the super soldier's shoulder. "Go help Tony with Emalie. She needs her fiance's comfort."

He glared at Jack then left. Xassic walked up and smacked Jack.

"Don't bother coming back Jack. You're going to jail with Loki. And you're never getting out." Xassic spoke with a glare to him.

Jack looked down, "They're in the basement of the church..."

Thor motioned the guard that had just arrived, to cuff the young guardian. The guard did as told and left with the now cuffed Jack. Xassic sighed and pulled out her gun putting ammo in it. Thor took it away from his wife and put it behind his back.

"You need to relax." He stated softly.

"Loki branded my sister!" Xassic said clearly pissed off. She didn't mean to yell at her husband but she couldn't help it. "I'm not going to calm down until that bastard is dead or in jail!"

He placed the gun on a bench and put his hands on her shoulders. "Darling, I understand how you feel. But when you get like this it worries me." He leaned down and kissed her deeply. He pulled away after a minuted and smiled softly. "Are you better now?"

She sighed and looked down. "Thor...my sister is branned. She'll probably have the scar for the rest of her life. I don't want that for her!"

Thor caressed Xassic's cheek romantically and sighed looking into her eyes. "I know. I know. But listen to me, your sister is strong. We both know that. Now you need to relax. I have sent several guards to go find Pitch and Loki. Now, let's go home and see how you're sister is doing."
