Bringing Out The Good Side

Chapter 18 - Bittersweet

Ronan was furious at how Loki had gotten away with Mackenzie. Again. However, it did not concern him too much since Ronan knew that Mackenzie would make her way back to him in a way that mystified the Kree leader.

While Ronan remained on his throne, Korath came running in with a panicked expression on his dark skinned face.

"What is it, Korath?"

"S-sir, you will not believe this but Thor has sent us a message saying that he wants to help us get Mackenzie away from his brother. He also said that he's sick of Loki treating Mackenzie like a 'personal play toy'." Disgust was present in Korath's voice as he spoke about Loki. He hated Loki as much as Ronan did but had come to respect Mackenzie. Mackenzie had brought out a good side that was rare for Korath to see all the time. The mortal girl meant the world to Ronan and it hurt him not having her with him.

Ronan growled as Korath mentioned 'personal play toy' which meant to him that Loki had laid his filthy hands on his girl. He wanted to kill that man if he actually did the deed by her.

While Ronan sat on his throne thinking of ways to kill Loki, Mackenzie was being held captive in Loki's personal chambers.

She was sobbing, she knew that Loki had planned to destroy her before Ronan would save her.

She continued to cry until she saw the door get knocked down by a force that she could not explain. Mackenzie's face lit up with confusion when she saw a very large hammer. Then the owner of the hammer's face appeared. It was Thor, the God of Thunder that graced the Mortal World's news when Loki invaded New York earlier on.

"Mackenzie, we need to do this quickly." Thor rumbled as he brought his hand out for Mackenzie to take. Mackenzie was quick on her feet and took Thor's hand.

"Hold on." He whispered and Mackenzie held on tightly onto his waist. She closed her eyes when Thor held up his hammer and they were shot up into the sky.

A short moment later, Ronan was still sitting in the throne room and was depressed due to how Loki was keeping Mackenzie away from him. That was until he saw Thor coming into the room with Mackenzie in his arms.

"Thor?" Ronan said confused to why the brother of his sworn enemy had the guts to enter Ronan's ship.

"Ronan the Accuser, I enter of my free will. I am not here to cause trouble but to bring Mackenzie back to your safety from my brother." Thor explained calmly as Mackenzie clung onto him. Ronan's facial features relaxed when he heard of Thor's intentions on his ship.

Ronan got up from his throne without his hammer, he walked towards Mackenzie.

"Mackenzie..." Ronan whispered in a soft tone that was very uncharacteristic for the Kree leader. Mackenzie was softening his cold and hard heart.

"Ronan?" Mackenzie said softly with trembling present in her voice. She confirmed his presence by leaping onto Ronan and giving him a hug. Mackenzie was weeping.

"Oh Ronan, I never want to leave you again." Mackenzie sobbed, Ronan acknowledged Thor and let him leave the ship unharmed.

"You are safe now, my love. Loki will get what's coming for him and he will pay." Ronan said to soothe Mackenzie down. He was truly furious with what Loki had done to the love of his life. And Thor knew that.

Mackenzie finished weeping and relaxed in Ronan's arms. There was a comfortable silence between the two of them which none of them saw the need to speak.

They were meant to be together and people like Loki would get in the way of their potential relationship.
