I'll Fight for You

Ch 23

Kale draped over a chair, letting his limbs dangle of the edges. Loki; wearing a beanie and pull over to disguise himself, had his back to the wall head titled up. He blinked moisturizing his eyes from the cold air. Nurses hurried passed the room walking swiftly threw the halls. The fighter laid motionless, her hair cascaded around the white pillow. His green eyes looked over her sleeping form; the thin sheets hugged her form. Her chest would rise and fall, it was settle but it proved she was breathing.

"Do you love her?" Loki focused his attention to Kale who had woken up not too long ago. "After you caught me up to speed you never told me how you felt about her." Kale brushed some of his locks back nervously. He had yet to have jelled it to his normal hairdo. "I mean the way you look at her. You brining her to that place uh Avard?"

"Asgard."

"Ya Asgard, for her to get healed. So she would be safe…..You’re doing it out of love right?" Loki looked tiredly at the man; he just wanted her to wake. So far Kale had done nothing but bombard the god with questions. He answered each one carefully choosing the proper words. He explained the destruction of the house. The body's that laid strewed in his house. The disappearance of her scares on her back. He even told him about Asgard and how she stayed there healing.

"If I didn't why would I be here?"

"Good point." Kale looked over at the fighter. He went over his thoughts, thinking of how mangled she possible was. He thought further back, how broken she was when he found her. "Don't hurt her." he said lowly. Their eyes locked on to each other. Kales pierced brow rose in a dramatic manor trying to make himself look serious. "If she loves you back, don't take it for granted and when she does be patient with her. I don't want her to give up on something she deserves."

"She means more to me than the air I breathe." The god pushed himself up and approached her. His eyes examined every inch if her again as if trying to finds something new. "But I can't always baby her and protect her. If I did she wouldn't be in this hospital right now." the nord reached over pushing back strands of hair from her face. "She wanted to fight so I let her. The last thing I wanted to do was make her madder than she all ready was with me."

"Why did you let her continue if she was so badly injured?" Loki looked over his shoulder before responding.

"Because she is strong, I knew she would make It." he then turned his focus back to her. He came down giving her a kiss on her lips, they felt soft and warm. Her eyes fluttered open when the feeling of his lips disappeared.

"Good morning sleeping beauty." Her best friend smirked as he got up to approaching the bedside. Tabitha rubbed her eyes shaking off the sleep. "How's my little street cat feeling this morning?"

"Shut up Kale, it's too early for your teasing." The pierced man chuckled. "Where am I? Why do I still feel so groggy?"

"You’re in the hospital dear. We had to bring you here so they could get the bullet out of your back." Loki kissed her hand; keeping a hold on it he rubbed her knuckles.

"That reminds me ill go get the nurse!" Kale squeaked out feeling a bit uncomfortable with the PDA. He left out of the small room flagging down a nurse.

"I liked it." Loki's eyes looked up to hers in confusion. "Killing him...." His brows stitched together. "I enjoyed every second." A tear slid down the side of her face as she grinned. "Here I fought not be that way. And yet I liked it." Her voice cracked as she choked out the words to him. Tabitha leaned into his chest letting the tears fall. He said nothing as he embraced her looking to the wall with bewildered eyes.

"I would have never expected that from you." He kissed the top of her head soothing her. "You don't belong here Tabitha.” Her head rubbed into his shoulder nodding yes. Loki ran his slender fingers through her hair pulling the knots out. “Come with me to Asgard." he cooed into her ear. Tabitha’s palms pushed away so she could look up into his eyes. He looked into eyes, lost in milk chocolate color. “You’ll fit in better there then you do here.” She pushed her head back into his chest rubbing her face against the pull over he had. Loki went back to stroking her hair fixing her rats nest. “Mother likes you, I’m sure she wouldn’t mind your company.”

“Do you want me there? Forever?”

“I want you beside me forever.” Loki cradled her whispering in her ear as she relaxed into his arms.

 Kale stood at the door way holding his hand out preventing the nurse from entering. He was just out of sight listening to their conversation. He smiled as a tear dripped from his eye. Kale looked to the linoleum floor as an over whelming saddens washed over him. Here he was going to leave her the house, his car, and the bar. So she could start her own life while he stayed in Europe. He was ready to leave but he wasn’t ready for her to leave forever.

“Got everything?”

“Ya set this bitch on fire!” Loki held his palm close to the gasoline creating a spark till it caught. It trailed across the road to the house that Kale and Tabitha once resided in. Tabitha watched the flames engulf the house flying high into the sky. Her hand rested in the gods that stood close with a sling of Tabitha’s belongings she wanted to take. Kale pushed his boxes harshly into his car trying to get them all to fit in his small car. After a huff he finally got the door shut, pushed back watching the reflection of the fire from the window. Now that his house was the scene of a murder they all thought it was best they got rid of the evidence. She would be out of world and he would be out of state. They will both be safe from any trying convictions that may come their way. Well if they could find the bodies that is. With the flames being from the god magic they burned hotter and was sure to reduce the remains to ashes.

“How long do you think we have till some one notices the smoke?”Tabitha asked.

“I would be more concerned of someone noticing the color of the flames.” Kale chuckled moving around so he stood next to the couple. “You don’t see green fire every day you know.”

“I can change it other colors if you like.” The god turned his hand as the two watched it change hues.

“PINK! MAKE IT PINK!” Kale yelled out like a small child. As the color turned lighter it flickered into a hot pink. The pierced man squealed like a girl exited over the small trick. “I love that color! Keep it that way!” Tabitha rolled her eyes but couldn’t help but smile.

“I swear sometimes I think I’m more of a man than you.” Kale responded by sticking out his pierced tongue and making an immature sound. She returned the gesture until she was pushed by the nords shoulder. A low siren was heard in the background. “I’ll try to keep in touch?” She gave a small sheepish smile.

“Respond to your emails for once, next time you’re on earth.” They embraced tightly and then separated. Kale looked over to nord who extended his hand; Kale grabbed it and pulled him into a hug as well shaking him awkwardly. “Take care of her pretty boy.” He backed away to the driver side crawling in. He gave a wink to Loki that caused him to shiver slightly. The car roared awake then drove off the opposite way of the sirens.

“You think I could be a bounty hunter in Asgard?” Loki looked down at her. She tugged his hand leading him to an open area.

“You are skilled like them, if that is what you want I will not stop you.” Tabitha smiled at his encouraging words.

“Good, I’ll put my talents to use. At least I’ll smite the bad guys.”Loki responded with a laugh.

“If I wasn’t a ‘bad boy’ we would have never met.”

“You’re an acceptation.” She smirked back looking up to see his face. “Heimdall were ready.” The light came down fast consuming the two from where they stood. It brought them through the cosmos and into the observatory where Heimdall stood. He frowned looking saddened at the two. When their eyes came upon his gloomy the brows on their faces furrowed in concern. “Something the matter Heimdall?”
