The Saviour (Loki Love Story)

Chapter 20 Escape from Asgard

Loki's POV

Just like my brother asked; Heimdell, Fandral, Volstagg, Lady Sif and off course myself, left in the dead of night to meet him in the tavern where we can talk privately. I left Scarlett as I don't want her involved in any of this. I want to protect her from this as I don't want her to get hurt. No doubt she will be mad but I have no choice, I must help my brother.

I arrive at the tavern and sit down beside my brother as Volstagg orders drinks and probably something for himself to eat. Once we had all gathered and settled down, my brother began to spill out his plan to us. I could feel a magical presence nearby but I chose to ignore it as Thor starts to talk.

Scarlett's POV

After Loki had left are chambers, not choosing to wake me up, I change and follow him out to the tavern. I slip inside and hide in the shadows as Thor, Heimdell and Thor friends appear.

Once they have settled down Thor begins to speak and I listen carefully from where I am hiding.

"We must move Jane off world. It's not safe for her to be here." Thor states.

"How do you plan to do that?" Lady Sif asks, "The bifrost is closed and the tesseract has been locked in a vault."

Heimdell leans back against the pillar, "There are others ways off Asgard only known to a few."

"One actually." Thor says as he looks at Loki.

They all look at him and he smirks as he explains, "I know all the secrets paths in and out of Asgard. Theirs one in particular which would take us straight to Svartalfheim."

"But your lovely mortal is being guarded, they would see you coming from miles away." Fandral states as he finishes his beer.

I move closer to behind a pillar and Loki straightens his back. He must be able to sense my magic but he must obviously think it's not me. Why didn't he want me to come? I could help them out. Why?

Thor looks at Sif as he says, "I won't be the one coming for her." Sif nods.

As Volstagg finishes his meat, he cleans his hands as he asks, "Are you bringing your delightful mortal to join us on our adventure Loki?"

Yeah Loki, are you bringing me on your 'adventure'?

I stare at Loki as he replies, "She's an Asgardian now but no, I don't plan to involve her in this."

My eyes widen as he explains, "I don't want her involved as I don't want her to get hurt. She has gone through enough so no, she isn't joining us."

They all nod and I turn away as I lean back against the pillar. When did Loki decide he can control my life? And make decisions for me? He has no right. I'm going to help even if Loki doesn't want me to.

I turn back to look at them as I continue to listen in, "Assuming, you can rescue the mortal," Volstagg begins, "It will do no good as we will be dead the minute we step one foot outside the palace."

Thor's smiles, "That's why my friend, we won't be leaving by foot. We shall use the ship that is currently crashed in the hall ways of the palace as our means of escape."

Loki chuckles, "How are you going to get it working brother? We all know you wouldn't be able to start up that type of ship without asking for help?"

I think this may be a job for me. There's no way I'm staying out of this. No way.

"I believe I could help you there." I say as I step out the shadows and come towards them.

They all look at me and Loki's eyes widen, "I thought I sensed your magic close by."

I glare at him as I sit opposite him, "What did you expect me to do? You sneak off in the middle of the night and you didn't think I would follow you?" I roll my eyes, "Anyway, I'm your best choice to help get that ship working. I can hack any piece of technology."

Fandral raises his eyebrows, "You can start up that ship?"

I smirk, "You wouldn't believe the things I can do."

They all nod as they stand up, me following.

"Get everything into place. We shall begin as soon as possible."

We all nod and we all leave. I sense Loki following me so I turn to look at him.

He tries to take my hand but I pull away, "Just don't. What gave you the right to make my decisions for me."

"Scarlett..." He starts but I interrupt him, "No Loki. You don't make my choices for me. I have had people control me my whole life, so don't you think for one second you can do the same."

He doesn't say a thing and I turn away from him, "I'll meet you at the ship."

I then begin making my way back towards the palace as they begin their plan. The sun slowing rising into the sky.

Time skip

After Lady Sif had retrieved Jane, I ran ahead to the crashed ship. I run inside and I plunge into darkness. Using the light that is shining through the cracks of the ship, I make my way to the controls and hot wire the ship. It doesn't take long and soon the ship is operational.

I begin to work on the controls when Thor and Jane run in, followed by Loki. Loki tries to make eye contact with me but I look away and finish off fixing the controls.

Thor approaches me as I start the 'engine' if that's what the elves call it in this realm, "It's fully operational Thor."

"Thank you, Scarlett."

I nod as I step back and watch him man the controls. I didn't even realize Loki was beside me until he spoke up.

"Can we talk?" I don't answer, "Please Scarlett, I only wanted to protect you."

I look up at him, "Next time, ask me what I want and don't make decisions that involves me without my consent."

He smirks as he steals a kiss, "I promise."

Suddenly the ship begins to move and Loki goes to Thor's side to help work the ship. But he is mainly commenting about everything Thor does wrong as we fly out the palace and though the streets of Asgard. I sit beside Jane as I try to cool her down using a trick Loki taught me but it doesn't work. The Aether too strong, her body won't last much longer.

We quickly abandoned the ship to lure the guards of Asgard the wrong way as we escape on a small vessel. Loki takes control and we fly towards one of his passage ways as Fandral stops another small vessel firing at us.

We go through a crack in a cave and then in seconds we go through portal and land in Svartalfheim.

The dark world.
