Out of Time [Steve Rogers/Captain America Fan Fiction]

Chapter 8: The Evening Lily (Part 2)

I woke up the next morning with steve holding me close, the sun shining into the dim apartment, i yawned and felt steve shift slightly at my movement. I turned and smiled as i watched him sleep, I yawned and woke from the bed my hair messy and falling over my shoulders. I went to get up and a pair of arms pulled me back down, "steve let go!" i laughed and looked back to see him smiling, "nope sorry honey.....you ain't going nowhere....." He said as he flipped us to where I was beneath him, I looked up at him and blushed, "Steve......" He leaned into me and kissed me lightly. "Yes.....my beautiful lily?" He said as he brushed my hair from my face, I smiled and pulled him to me, lightly kissing his lips, I could never get tired of kissing him. Suddenly the alarm went off and Steve and I rushed out of bed, "put on your suit.....today is your day darling...." He said as he looked back at me and smiled. I blushed and nodded, I ran into the other room and pulled on my evening lily suit and fixed my hair, I ran out and saw Steve in full uniform holing his shield, he looked at me and smiled, "lets go...." He said as we ran out the door. We looked out and saw smoke and flames erupt from the right side of the hall, a cold laughter echoing in the hallway, "freedom is life's great lie......once you accept that.....in your...heart...will you truly....know peace......", I heard fury talking with the mysterious voice, "our people have no quarrel with your kind.....", "an ant has no quarrel with a boot......". Steve looked to me and agent coulson called for Steve, "come on we need to get out of here!!! lilli go to director fury and help him retrieve the tesaract....we will meet you both outside....", I looked to Steve and he kissed he one last time before I ran off, I stopped in the middle of the room where a strange man stood wielding a staff. Fury looked to me and signaled me to leave but the man had already turned to look at me, his eyes a pale blue, skin a sickly pale and is hair long and black. He tilted his head and slowly walked towards me, I stood there locked in his gaze, he stopped inches from me and smiled, he took one hand and placed it on the side of my face, "you......do you truly know peace......the woman who knows no love.....the woman who is rejected by others and cast aside...because of her origins......oh my dear.....I understand.....here...let...me give you peace....." He whispered as he pulled me to him, he smiled and lightly placed the staff against my chest. I felt a overwhelming since of relaxation come over me and I felt as if I needed to sleep, I closed my eyes and heard him speak one last time, "...rest now love......your mine......". Loki carried her out to the jeep agent hill had waiting for fury, Clint glared at hill and she spoke as Loki sat in the back of the jeep with lilli in his arms, "who is that....." Before Clint could speak director fury came on over the mic, Clint rushed into the jeep and sped off with selvig in the car next to him, Loki laid lilli down gently and stood above her watching for anyone that tried to stop him. -three hours later- lilli slowly came to her head pounding, memories of what had happened flooding her mind, "ahh.....where....am..I...." She whispered as she sat up, a voice came from behind her it was the same voice from before, she felt a shiver crawl up her spine and she slowly turned and looked into the eyes of Loki, "who are you........" She said as she moved away from him, he smiled and waved his hand the staff disappearing, "iam Loki.....of Asgard.....I have come here to free you all from a lie that burdens you......." He said as he approached her, "and what would that lie be....." She said as he was now towering over her. He lightly tilted her head up to his and he stopped inches from her face, "freedom.......it's a lie...there truly no such thing as freedom.....it makes people mad...makes them scramble for a purpose.....for identity.....iam here to rule you all...to give you a purpose...a meaning.....it's the unspoken truth of you humans....that you all crave subjugation.....even you...lilli.....I see it in your eyes..... You want to kneel to me....to let me rule you....." he placed his lips against hers and she quickly backed away and looked up at him, "now.....lilli....I want you to kneel before me......let me rule you....and give you purpose......" he said as he pulled her towards him. "Barton...already kneels to me willingly.......so does you little friend Eric......" He whispered, she felt her heart pounding and given the situation she had no choice, she got off the bed and knelt, her head bowed. Loki smiled and lifted her head, "good girl....... Now..... Rise and stand before your king......" She slowly got up and looked at him, her green eyes trying desperately not to connect with his. Where was Steve? She needed him.....she was alone and knew she couldn't take Loki on alone, not with her lack of training.
