Chapter 12: Loki not so Low key

"So tell me something...Why did everyone try to kill you a few seconds ago?" I ask as I lean close to him so noone would hear my question and interrupt us again.

He stares into my eyes and sighs, "We're not necessarily fond of each other" was his short reply as he gives me a small smile.

"Why?" I keep nagging him, I just had to know the details!

"The last time I was in Midgard, I almost took full World domination" He said triumphal, "But then the Avengers showed up, destroyed all my plans, they left me no choice but to bring my army and destroy theirs...But that's enough about me, what about you? I don't remember seeing you here?" He asked curiously,  trying to change the subject not so subtly I see..

"Oh it all makes sense now!" I said astonished.

"I beg your pardon?" Loki asks confused at my light bulb moment.

"Yes, that's why everyone talks about the Battle of New York, I thought it was just some Aliens abduction but it was you! It all make sense now!" I say.

"Alien abduction?" He scoffs at me.

"Sorry, like you gotta let me have one here, I was in my hometown in Texas, I wasn't in New York when all that jazz happened" I explain to him.

"Fair enough, but Alien abduction that's the best you came up with?! It took more than just some mewling aliens! I took over the city, destroyed the most of it, I was close to succeeding!"

Yup my buddy here has some build up rage, I wonder why?

"Oh I understand, but why would you do such a thing?" I asked interested in his motives as I take a sip from my champagne.

"I remember a shadow, living in the shade of my brother's greatness" he says as he looks over to Thor who is having a laugh with Steve. While Harry is just staring right at me, his eyes seem to be burning an imaginary hole through Loki.

"I was supposed to be King, but Father always favored him, so I had to take it upon myself and proof I was a worthy son for the throne" he says as his grip on the champagne tightens.

"But none of that matters now, Father is gone and Asgard has fallen, now it's just my brother and I. We're finally equal" he smiles at me. Oh poor thing! In a way I take pity of him, all he wanted to do was proof he was as good as Thor!

"Are you planning to do good deeds now?" I say as I reach over to touch his hand. A form of conciliation and also me trying to pull a move on the God of Mischief himself!

"It's all a matter of what will happen next. He thinks there's still good in me, I think not. Maybe I'm a lost cause, but I thank him for trying" he sighs as he starts rubbing my hand. Oh shit! Reciprocation Bish!!

"Thank you for listening to me and not judging me, I know the others would have gladly banished me away. But you have a kind heart and you've let me tell my side of the story, and I thank you for that" he says as he brings up my hand and kisses it once again. Ma hormones man!

"Oh it's nothing" I blush.

"Well Lady Mariana, I must go now to my chambers. I am awfully exhausted  from the long trip" he says as he gets up from his seat.

"Would you care to walk me to my Chambers Lady Mariana?" He asks me and how could I say no to that face!

"Of course it would be my pleasure, Loki, God of Mischief!" I say playfully as I get down off my seat and he grabs my hand.

We start walking towards the hallway that leads to all the guestrooms and suites and we stop at a door almost at the end of the hallway.

"This is it Lady Mariana, Thank you for accompanying me to my chambers" he says as he let's go of my hand.

"Oh please just call me Mari!" I say with a smile. "Maybe I'll see you later?" I ask him.

"We'll see my lady" he says as he opens the door. Before he leaves I build up the courage to kiss him on the cheek. He looks at me shocked.

"I'll see ya later then" I say as I turn around and head towards the Lounge room.

"Mari where's Loki?" Harry says as he grabs my arm and pulls me to the side of the hall. I was just heading over to the Lounge area. Was he following me?

"He said he was going to his chambers and I was just walking him over"

"Mariana he doesn't have a room, at least not yet!" Harry says as he grabs my shoulder to focus.

"But I walked him to one though..." I say confused.

"Mari, rule number one, Never trust a Trickster!"

"But he's a good guy-"

"Yeah and I'm Spiderman! C'mon we have to find him before Stark gives us shit" he says as he pulls us to the Lounge to tell the others.

Oh what have I done?
