CHAPTER FIFTEEN —
( Yes, ma'am. )────────────────
Evelyn, Natasha, and Steve boarded a Quinjet to take them to Germany, with Natasha flying it.
"How're you feeling?" Evelyn asked Steve as they sat side-by-side on a bench.
"It's good to be back saving the world," he said.
"Alright, lovebirds. I've parked us down around the corner of where Loki is. You might want to get out because he's attracted a crowd," Natasha informed the duo.
"Thanks, Nat," Evelyn said as she opened the back of the quinjet. She and Steve hopped out and quickly approached Loki, who had produced holograms of himself standing intimidatingly around a group of civilians.
"Is not this simpler? Is this not your natural state?" Loki grinned at everyone who was kneeling in front of him.
"That son of a bitch," Evelyn mumbled.
"Language," Steve mumbled.
"It's the unspoken truth of humanity that you crave subjugation. The bright lure of freedom diminishes your life's joy in a mad scramble for power, for identity. You were made to be ruled. In the end, you will always kneel," Loki finished his speech to a crowd of Germans, some of whom probably didn't even know what he said.
From the crowd, an elderly man stood up and faced him. "Not to men like you," he said.
"There are no men like me," Loki laughed.
"There are always men like you," The man said. Evelyn nudged Steve to signal that they should get going, and they hurried over towards the man.
"Look to your elder, people. Let him be an example." Loki pointed his sceptre at the old man and was about to execute him when the light glowed a bright blue. Just as the energy beam shot out, Steve jumped before the man with his shield facing Loki. The beam rebounded from the shield and hit Loki instead.
Evelyn stopped before the man and helped him up after he fell from shock. "Danke," he said.
"Bitte schön," Evelyn smiled back and then turned around.
"You know, the last time I was in Germany and saw a man standing above everybody else, we ended up disagreeing," Steve told Loki.
"The soldier," Loki chuckled as he used the sceptre to stand up. "A man out of time."
"He's not the only man out of time," Evelyn stepped out from behind Steve. "You're over a thousand years old, and you finally need a walking stick? I congratulate you."
Loki chuckled, then opened his arms out. "My dearest Evelyn. Oh, how it is lovely to see my beautiful daughter again."
Steve turned towards Evelyn in question. "What? I told you my father was out of the picture," Evelyn shrugged. Above them, the Quinjet hovered with a machine gun pointed at Loki.
