The Tale of a Midgardian Frost Giant

Chapter 2

(Loki's PoV)

I starred at the wall of ice that was now in the hallway. Now that those agents had been dealt with I was ready to leave, but I was still curious as to why they where chasing that girl. I was more curious about why she had the powers of ice. I don't think she was one of those pathetic mortals based on the powers she had, but it was still possible, although incredibly unlikely. Was she from Asgard, or maybe she could be from...no she couldn't be a Frost Giant. Could she? Either way, if she was being chased it would mean that she is not trusted and hopefully that means she doesn't trust anyone else on this wretched thing. Which means she might not trust my pathetic brother, this could work out to my advantage.

I heard footsteps echo throughout the area. I stood still, listening to the footsteps, trying to justify where they where. I pulled back my blonde hair, well it was more white but it was just barely blonde, out of my face so I could see better. The footsteps weren't fast paced like a S.H.I.E.L.D agent's would be if they were looking for me. As the footsteps grew louder I quickly continued walking, S.H.I.E.L.D agent or not I was not staying here. I had to find some way to get off this thing and to get as far away as possible from Furry and anything else SHIELD related. I was probably in the deepest part of this bottom part of the helicarrier. There where so many pipes but I managed to make my way through. Soon I could hear the pace in the footsteps quicken which confirmed the idea that they were after me. I started running dodging pipes and steam that popped from some pipes every now and then. I would have kept running but I stopped when I heard footsteps coming from above me. I looked up and noticed I was right under a tiny bridge way that lead through this part of the helicarrier. I noticed the footprints behind me had stopped as well. I peeked my head out an inch then quickly pulled it back in. It was Natasha. I held my breath praying that she didn't hear or see me. About two minutes of silence passed until I heard Natasha speak into an ear piece.

"No sign of her down here," she said as she walked back the other way on the bridge. I would have let out a sigh of relief but my relief had vanished as I heard the footsteps from behind me get closer. At this point they where so close that if I turned around I could see who it was, but I didn't turn around. I just continued making my way through this area hoping I would lose them eventually.

"You know you can't possibly run forever," I heard a voice say. I recognized the voice from when I had been running from those agents. I turned to see Loki who was a mere three feet away.

"Well, I can try," I told him as I started to walk away.

"Tell me, why were those two chasing you?" he asked me.

"Well you did see what I did, so you should know why. Now if you excuse me I need to go," I answered as I continued to walk away.

"Go? Go where exactly? You are hundreds of feet in the air, so there is no really anyway for you to get out," he told me as he continued to follow me.

"I'll find some way off this thing," I replied. More running footsteps were heard from floors above me. I couldn't afford to get caught and not just because I didn't want to be locked up. Furry would literally kill me if he got a hold of me.

"You know there is a quick way to get out of here," Loki said. This perked my interest but I felt like there was a sick little catch.

"And what would that be?" I asked as I dodged different pipes.

"If you come with me you could get out of here quickly without any more issues," he said with a small smirk. There it was, the catch. There always was one, or at least in the circumstances I've dealt with. There was some twisted trick behind this, there had to be.

"Thanks but I think I'll pass," I said. I could tell this agitated him, which was pretty funny honestly. As I continued to walk away I could hear his pace quicken to keep up with me.

"You should consider this opportunity, you'll probably have no other way off this ship and besides we're actually not so different," he told me. I stopped walking. Did he really just do that? Did he really pull the old 'we're more alike than you think' crap?

"How dumb do you think I am?" I asked him in an angry and annoyed tone. Loki looked annoyed that I had caught on to his little game. Before I could do anything else he quickly grab me by the collar of my shirt and picked me up.

"Fine don't agree to come, you'll make a good hostage then," he snapped at me. I only laughed at what he said.

"Hate to break it to you, but everyone here will be glad if I'm gone. So me being hostage is not your best plan," I said and this only angered him more. He threw me down onto the floor. As I broke a few pipes small trickles of blood slipped down my arms.

"You know I could just kill you now," Loki snarled at me as he walked over to me.

"Go ahead, no ones going to miss me or care," I snapped back. I didn't realize how a little pain showed in my voice when I said it. Loki hesitated before reaching out to help me up. Ok, now I'm seriously confused. He threatens to kill me, and now he is being kind of nice? What? Just...what? But I took his hand as I stood up and brushed myself off. I was extremely confused but the confusion fade it when I heard running footsteps, and what sounded like fighting. I noticed Loki had begun to walk away when he stopped and turned his head to see me.

"Well, are you coming?" he asked with a sly grin. I rolled my eyes.

"Yes," I said in an annoyed tone as I started to follow.

I sat at a table with Steve while Furry stood around the edge of the table. I kept thinking about Phil and what had happened moments ago, and Steve was thinking about it as well. Steve starred at the bloody collectible cards.

"Any sign of Trixie?" I asked. Furry hesitated before answering.

"No," Furry said. After that he began to talk about Phil. Before he finished I stood up and left the room. I went to the room that once had the glass prison cell Loki had been in. If Trixie wasn't here, then Loki had to have captured her. There was no other way she could've got off the helacarrier. Maybe I wouldn't care if I thought she was just like any other villain who did bad things and had to pay the price. But the sheer fact that she didn't do anything bad but was locked up anyway angered me. My anger only grew worse inside as I thought of Phil being killed in the very room I stood in. Steve came in and talked to me a little bit.

"You think he took her?" Steve asked me.

"There's no other way she could've gotten off of the helicarrier," I said back. We fell silent before I spoke again. "I normally wouldn't care but just for the fact Furry locked her up for no reason is what makes me actually care. She's not just any other criminal locked up for terrible crimes, just one or two pranks and nothing else. It's not right," I told him.

"I agree with you, but I'm not sure why he did it," Steve said.

"All the more reason for me not to trust him," I mumbled to myself. I was surprised that I cared so much. But I'm pretty sure I've seen her before, I don't know where though. She had seemed so familiar when I first saw her in that prison cell. Wait I think I know where I've seen her from. It was around seven years ago I think. Yeah that had to be Trixie. The memory came rushing back, it was the middle of December in New York. I had been walking back to Stark Tower when I saw what looked like an eight year old girl running from two people in suits. She had shot ice on the ground which made them slip, and she got away. I had always thought I was seeing things and they had just slipped on some ice, but I knew that wasn't the case.
