Make It Right

Ch.17

(Sky's POV)

I made it to Tom's cell ok. He looked defeated and bored. He probably had a lot of thinking to do as well.

"Tom," I spoke ever so softly. His eyes kept to the floor. Gradually looking up, I noticed the tears that still lingered.  " I couldn't help you. I tried. I failed."

"What happened to your face Sky?"

"Is it that noicable?" A small smile appearing on my face.

"Yeah. Are you ok?"

"Am I ok?" I asked, laughing out loud. "A gentleman till the end. Always thinking of others. You're so kind. -Are you ok?"

"No, but I will be. I'm done fighting Sky. Loki's to powerful. If I've learned anything today, it's that this, he says looking around, and him taking over Earth, is our furture. We need to just accept it, and move on."

"Wait, how can you say that? We had a plan. Ok, so we didn't have a plan, but we'll think of one. Please Tom allow me, us, Zach and I, to help you."

He just chews on his bottom lip, shaking his head. "I've already made a decision, and saved myself."

"How?"

He explained Loki and his conversation. It of course made me reconsider everything I'd been thinking. If the wonderful Tom Hiddleston gave in, how much longer till I did too. Maybe he was right, to go along with Loki and see what happens? I'll do that, for now. This truly was Loki's show, and we're all just in it.

Despite being a bit disappointed in how things are turning out. With the whole over throwing Loki thing on hold, I gave Tom a hug and sadly made my way back to Loki, who'd been waiting for my arrival.

(Zach's POV)

"Ahh! My hand." I'd only been here one day and yet the way it went felt like millions. I wish I had some way of knowing where Sky went. After I woke up, I looked across from me and saw that she'd gone. I knew Loki had taken her. Who else would it have been? She'd mentioned something about Asgard. Maybe he'd taken her there for Tom. Let's just hope she can get Tom on our side before Loki finds a way.

"How's that hand of yours?"

"Loki?" I question. Peering out into my room. He appears right in front of me, hands clasped behind his back. I will never get use to his magic, as cool as it is.

"Who else would it be? Your midgardian Santa?"

"Haha very funny, and yes my hand hurts. No thanks to you." I furrowed my eyebrows.

"Give it here." He reaches out taking both of his palms and placing them over my hand gently. A small green glow comes of his hands, radiating. Making a humming noise. It burns a big, but not enough for any real pain. I can't believe what I'm seeing. He's mending my hand back together, and it feels excellent! Loki finishes, then takes a step back, admiring his work. I look my hand over carefully, thorougly, examining it. Bending it, and testing it. All seems well.

"T-thanks Loki. I appreciate it." I finally say.

He dismisses my gratitude with a wave of a hand. "You may now take your shower, eat, and stretch a bit before returning here."

I did just that, and was quite thankful for his generousity, and the fact that he hadn't forgotten about me. No matter how much I hated him.

While eating a chicken dinner, with mashed potato's, peas and carrots, I thought it best now to strike up a conversation about Sky. He seemed to be in a fairly good mood.

"Loki, where's Sky? If you don't mind me asking?"

He'd been reading a book.  Never looking up he replied.

"I've taken her to Asgard. She's quite taken by it. You should've seen her face light up. She looked very pretty, basking in the glow of the Asgardian sunlight."

I knew better than anyone just how pretty Sky was. Apparently I wasn't the only one who'd taken notice.

"When will she be back?"

"So many questions. -When I see fit. You're not the only one who needs tending to. Tom does as well. You mortals are so...needy. Speaking of Asgard, if you're through, I must be heading back."

"I'm through." I didn't want to be done, or like the idea of having to go back to bordomville, but I knew I'd end up going back eventually. Just as quick as Loki came, he'd gone.

A few short hours later. Loki'd returned, but not for me exactly. He did feed me again, but his attitude was far worse off than before. He was short tempered.

"What's set you off?"

"It's Sky and Tom!"

This might be good news. Maybe that means they've teamed up and are escaping, but the news I got made my heart fall out of my chest.

"Tom's given up. He now works for me. He wasn't hard to break. Sky and I got into a heated argument, that I wish to the nine realms hadn't happened. For once I'm actually sorry."

I stayed silent. Nothing I would've said could've come out right. All I thought was why Tom? Why? I prayed for Sky to be alright. Whatever had transpired between the two of them seemed to have shaken him a bit, and that one thing gave me some peace of mind.

After his head cleared, Somewhat, I was left with me, myself, and I...again.
