"I believe it is..." The elevator doors slid open before Jarvis could finish. Loki

watched as Jane Foster entered the room, followed by Darcy and Ian.

"Thor!" Jane shrieked in delight as soon as she caught sight of him.

"Jane!" Thor burst into a smile.

"Why did you not tell me you were here?" Jane admonished him as she walked

towards him.

Out of the corner of his eye, Loki noticed Katirya suddenly stiffen.

"That is NOT Jane Foster!" Katirya hissed. 

Loki watched as Katirya crouched down, closing her eyes briefly. She seemed to be

centering her energy on something, and if Loki was right, it was on Jane Foster. He

was proven correct as Katirya clasped both hands in front of her face and opened

her eyes, which had turned to the glittering silver he recognized from her

destruction of the eight back in the Vaults. She was going to kill Jane!

"Kiri, NO!" Loki shouted, causing all eyes in the room to focus on Katirya.

Thor's grip on Mjölnir tightened, preparing to defend Jane if he needed to. "Kiri, do

Katirya ignored them and focused intently on Jane. Seeing disaster looming, Loki

realized he needed to make an instant decision. Thor or Kiri? Who was right?

Katirya straightened up and dashed both fists towards the floor in an explosive

With a slight flick of his wrist, Thor released Mjölnir. Loki made his decision as the

as Mjölnir continued unhindered on its path, despite his efforts.

The hammer hit Katirya in the belly, lifting her off the ground and throwing her into

the window.  The glass smashed as she hit it and her trajectory continued until she

slammed into the retaining wall of the patio. She crumpled to the ground, blood

flowing from the many cuts she received from the breaking glass as she crashed

through the window.

Loki rose and moved towards her when he saw a few of the Thirteen head her way.

Figuring they could attend to Katirya, he turned to look at Jane to find her lying dead

upon the ground as he had expected.

A shriek rose up from Darcy.  "You killed her! WHY?" She knelt down next to Jane,

crying. Ian hovered over her, trying to comfort her.

Loki stood transfixed by the scene in front of him. Darcy was sobbing hysterically

while Thor seemed to be moving in slow motion towards Jane, barely able to
