14. Loki

All I could see is Loki, his presence keeping me standing. I could hear my thoughts moving far and far from me. I am unable to convince myself out of this controlled state any longer. Loki grabs my palm as we are obnoxiously pulled onto the aliens chariot. I can't even hear in my ear piece anymore, his scepter is that powerful. My head hurts as I lifelessly cling to Loki who only smirks. I can hear the Chitauri hiss and holler behind me, thats all I can hear. I see explosions and they heat my face as Loki destroys buildings left and right.

"Human, I ask you a task you must follow," Loki commands, "You kill the avengers, anyone who poses a threat to your ruler must be executed."

"I understand, Loki." I say and hollowly abide. After the explosions he glances at the relic, Captain America, and flings me off the aliens ride. I am tossed as gently as possible toward Captain America who catches me. Captain America's words are muffled and my task is repeated to me in my conscious. Kill the avengers. Loki's words going through my head over and over as I am placed on the ground. My eyes are glossed with blue and I am being shaken gently. I grab my guns from my holsters and point them at Cap. Without hesitation I am shooting at him with perfect aim. Even though I couldn't miss he pulls his shield in front of each bullet.

"Hey team, I'm on the bridge and I'm in need of assistance," Captain america rings in my ears through the muffle.

"Busy Cap, we are helping citizens right now! Whats happening over there?" Black Widow exclaims in my ear and I growl. I can hear them again. Her and Clint joke about Budapest as I shoot at Steve. I finally hit his left bicep while he was distracted.

He gasps as he's hit, "Izzy is acting awfully strange, I'm starting to wonder if Loki did something to her."

"Loki would have if she was in sight, and we did witness her jump out of our jet to join Thor and him earlier." Hawkeye grits his teeth. This makes Captain America nod knowingly and his posture straightens. I run at him and he stands ready. I jump and my hands rest on his neck while I flip over him. I pull him with me and he is taken off guard by my swiftness. He grunts grabbing my ankle and knocking me to the cement. I quickly do a push up and I fall backward purposely. I stab Cap in the rib with my elbow. He coughs and complains but pushes me off him. I point my gun at him and he pulls his shield up again. When I don't shoot he peers just his eyes over the shield and sees me with lowered guard. Steve relaxes foolishly and with a step I put the gun in my hand to my head. He throws his shield and I wince. He knocks the weapon out of my hand and defeats a Chitauri all in one attack.

"You gotta stop that manipulating trick on me." He approaches quickly but swerved around me to the shield.

"You're weak. You let your guard down when your enemy is vulnerable out of pity." I sneer.

"You aren't my enemy." Steve protests. My guns point at him now but he shelters himself with the annoying patriotic protection. I groan and grab the damn thing but he won't let it go.

"Steve, you need to hit her damn head." Black Widow clarifies and Captain America kicks my feet from under me and my head hits the concrete. And after he slams the shield against my skull all turns black.

Moments pass and I am conscious again. I groan in pain and curse as my head throbs. My eyes open to the flickering brightness I am not used to yet. The blue mists away and the cold choke around my brain vanishes.

"Thanks for that," I let a cry out lifting myself up looking at Steve. I am sitting and holding the side of my head Steve hit.

I pull my hand away from my skull and see blood, "I apologize for the hostility but that was what I had to do to get Loki out of your brain." Steve explains and I only nod, guilt resting over me.

"Forget it, lets keep going," I blink away the past couple of minutes and walk onward.
