The Amethyst and the Emerald (A Loki X OC Fanfic)

12. For the Girl in the Bronze Dress

(Don't start the song yet)

Everyone was silent. The only noises were gasps and heavy breathing.
"Abhainn!" Spade screamed in agony as she fell to the floor; the witch and her sword had already faded to chrysanthemum petals. The brunette said on her knees to catch her cousin who was starting to bleed from just underneath her ribcage. Natasha appeared by Tony's side and stared in shock. "Come on now. Don't die on me, you still have to train me to be a faerie, let alone a Queen," she said, her tone of voice showing denial. The fae girl grunted in pain.

"I don't need to train you, you're ready," said Abhainn, her voice fading away like breath on a mirror.

"W-what? Oh please say your lying, please say your not dying!" Spade begged, tucking a stand of her orange/green hair out of her pale face. She couldn't bear to see the blood now soaking through her dress, thankful that she could use a bit of magic to see the process.

"Okay then. I'm not dying."

"Really!?" the Steak girl said with hope.

"Of course not; you told me to tell you I wasn't dying so I did," said the fae with a weak smile. Spade wanted to laugh at her Scottish humor but couldn't bring herself to do it. "But there is one thing I can do," Abhainn said, her life spirit escaped like her blood onto the floor. Before her cousin could ask what, the fae girl put her hands on Spade's face...a knowledge transfer. Spade saw everything in her mind; spells, songs, weapons, history, memories, and everything she knew flooded into her head. It then stopped. Just like Abhainn's heart. Her hands fell limp by her side as Spade silently cried her sparkling tears, holding Abhainn's head.

The crowd watched, confused yet saddened by what went down. Tony came forward and held his sister in comfort, despite her tears slowing down when Abhainn's body faded into daffodil and poppy flower petals. Spade then heard the growl of an Eofas and put on a determined and vengeful look on her face.

"Natasha," Spade called, still holding onto her brother. The red head came around, a single tear still making its way down the assassin's face. "Get these people out of here," she said just as the beast crashed through the main entrance. People screamed and panicked while trying to escape though any exit away from the monster. Natasha lead them out; Spade already created her scythe, causing the patrons running toward her to do their best to get by.

Tony's eyes widened at the weapon. "Th- that is a scythe, a...big ass scythe," he said, looking at his reflection on the blade.

"Tony?"

"Yow?" He perked up.

(Start the song now)

"Just go make sure Pepper and Natasha are okay and go get your ass in a suit," his sister deadpanned. Her brother gulped and nodded before she ran against the crowd to the raging Eofas.

(Words should start here)
She jumped high in the air and brought down the blade of her weapon like an axe down onto the beast, but only for it to swipe her away with it's claws. Her back slammed against a wall but she recovered quickly and leapt off the wall, creating crystal platforms in the air towards her target. Spade hopped over it's swiping claws and took every opportunity to get a slash or strike with her scythe in. The brunette sprung at it's head but her scythe clanged against it's deflecting claws, knocking her away. She said back on the ground and used her weapon to anchor her; Spade huffed as she flipped up her hair away from her face. The Eofas couldn't seem to figure out where it's prey had gone, so the fae too this opportunity to hide behind the nearby bar.

(so keep your eyes on me now...)
"Spade!?" Tony called out through the empty area, appearing in his Iron Man suit. The monster caught sight of him and charged at him, but his sister used her fae speed and pushed him aside, narrowly missing the beasts' claws. Spade hissed in pain when they where safely hidden behind a table. "Are you okay?" Tony whispered. She revealed her hand; it was red and had blisters forming. "What happened?"

(we got it all in or hands now...)
"Iron burns creatures of the Moors," she explained, using the knowledge her cousin gave her. She gently blew on her hand before it started to heal by itself. Tony peeked out from the table they were behind to see what the monster was doing.

(We're so tough...)
"I think the four legged bat thing can't smell or something," he said quietly. Spade looked around for anything that could help them, her mixed eyes taking in every detail. An idea came.

(Ain't nobody bringin' us...)
"I think I know what to do," Spade started, grabbing her brother's attention. "I need you to distract it for me and burn off as much of the hide as you can, I'll come from above and finish it. Hopefully it works." Tony nodded from underneath his helmet.

(You can go another round...)
"How are you going to get up there though?" his mechanical voice asked. Spade only smiled and told him to just get ready. Next thing Tony knew, he was sneaking towards the Eofas from behind; making the mistake of firing up his repulsors when the monster's ears perked up and it growled in his direction. He used his rocket boots to fly up to it while firing at the monster. The Eofas growled and used it's claws to block the shots; but it wasn't prepared for his iron armor, burning away it's thick hide.

(beat drop)
Spade had ran up the walls to the rafters, waiting for the right moment to make her strike while she was crouched over a bar. Once the skin on it's back was exposed from her brother's iron, she stood up on the bar, careful not to lose her balance in her heels. She sighed and took a deep, shaky breath; "Codladh anois*, Abhainn," she said quietly before leaving back and falling towards the Eofas. She twisted her body around and jammed the scythe blade into it's bare back. It roared in pain as she dragged the blade down, creating a huge gash. "It's not enough! We're you able to do anything else?" said the fae after rolling away and standing by Tony; she made her scythe disappear.

(Rap part)
"I was able to get part of it's head," he shrugged. Spade had to think of how she would be able to work with that, but it was Tony who came up with a plan. He saw that they were in the Eofas' blind spot and observed earlier her scythe. "Do you mind if I throw you?" he asked, trying not to make his sister mad but not revealing that it was an idea.

(I'm so cold...)
"Yes, I do mind!" she protested.

Tony sighed and explained his plan to her; once she understood and accepted it, Spade was ready to go.

(Said I'm on fire with a blade...)
He took her leg and foot up, throwing her to it's head. She flipped and sound around to where her legs were pointed at it's jaw; when she made contact with it she used it like a spring-board and sent it's head to the side. She smiled upon realizing she immobilized it when she landed on the floor.

(So keep your eyes on me now...)
She went to face her enemy in the eyes before she would like it, to try and connect with submerging if her kind. But looking into it's eyes, she felt her heart literally become heavy as drowsiness wanted over her.

(Ain't nobody bringin' us...)
It bent down to her level, ready to devour her soul; she was caught in a siders' web about to be eaten, but a flash of Abhainn's curious face gave her enough energy. She created her weapon again and let the monster see her do it, to know what it was fighting against.

(Beat drop)
The Eofas growled and went to pounce on it's prey; but Spade was quick enough when she made a shield around her off crystal to block it's claws. Gathering all her strength, the fae reeled back and put all her power in her weapon and war cry and brought down the blade, crushing down into the beasts skull.

(Hopefully the song should end about here)

Tony came from his hiding spot to watch the beast fade into chrysanthemum petals along with his sister who was wiping sweat from her brow and dispersing her scythe.

"That was intense..." Tony trailed off, sending his armor back to his tower piece by piece. Shade began to laugh but was overcome with exhaustion and collapsed into a world of black. "Sis? Spade!" he panicked, catching her from her fall. The authorities made their way into the now disorderly arena and a few rushed over to Tony holding his unconscious sister. She mumbled something.

"Baile**..."
