Hellraiser (Loki & W. Wilson) **Hiatus**

Chapter Nineteen

Maze stands with Bruce and Clint, close by Natasha stands with Steve and Tony grabs something from the back of his car. Thor stands waiting on Tony, Loki at Thor's side, muzzled, chained and ready to be returned to Asgard. His eyes follow Maze as she and Bruce talk, Bruce blushes slightly as Maze smirks at him. Loki doens't want to leave. Maze glances across at him, their eyes meeting. She smirks at him, but her eyes don't share the sentiment. Both of them know this is the end of whatever they had. He knows he'll be locked away. He knows she'll be here. Surrounded by all these men that want to sleep with her. Thor takes a step closer to Maze, she looks up at him.

"Thank you" Thor tells Maze. "For a demon you are.."

"Ah" she stops him by pressing her finger to his lips. "Let's not going down that path" she scolds. "I'm bad, let's just leave it at that" Thor smirks and nods before moving to the other members of the team, Maze shifts closer to Loki who raises an eyebrow. "So it was fun" she comments, he hums against the muzzle. "Maybe it won't be so bad for you" she adds, he snorts. "Yeah, guessing alien justice is going to be pretty tough, not hell tough but...maybe the little prince will be okay" he stares at her, his eyes amused. "Hey" she starts. "If you're ever in this neighbourhood again" he nods. "Maybe you we can hook up" she adds, he leans closer to her, she touches his chest and rests her head against his forehead her eyes closing. Behind them, Tony opens the Tesseract's case, Bruce takes it out and places inside a glass tube, now held by Thor, his eyes shift to Loki and Maze. His eyes softening seeing his brother showing some emotions towards the demon. The case closes and Thor heads back towards Loki who pulls back from Maze, she crosses her arms over her chest.

"Here" Thor states and holds out the other end of the case, Loki reluctantly takes it, his eyes locked with Maze's. He nods at her and she nods back with a wink. He snorts and then turns to Thor who gives him a look back, knows Maze is more than some romp. He knows Loki is better than that. The Bi-Frost burst open behind them, Loki gives Maze one last look before he and Thor step back into the Bi-Frost. They disappear and the Bi-Frost cuts out, revealling an empty space. Maze takes a breaeth and turns back to the others.

"What about you, Maze?" Tony asks, she looks at him. "What are you going to do now?" she takes a breath and shrugs.

"I have no idea" she admits. "But....I know where I am going to start" she adds with a smirk. She does know exactly where she is going now. She's been thinking a lot about what Loki said about Wade, and well...now she's curious to see what he's doing, how he is. Her demonic little heart is changing.

"Do you need a ride?" Natasha asks.

"Nah" Maze whispers. "I can teleport, remember?" Maze blows a kiss at Natasha, winks and then disappears.

"I'm going to miss her" Tony states softly. "Spunky little demonic bitch" Bruce smirks, Steve shakes his head, Clint snorts. Tony glances around the others. "Admit it" he teases. "She wormed her way in with that flashy black peepers and that tight little ass"

"Yeah" Bruce agrees, Natasha nods in agreement.

"You think she's going to our next problem?" Steve asks, Clint shakes his head.

"Nah, Maze's head isn't in global domination"

"No" Steve glances at him. "But her mind might just be in stolen Infinity Stones" he points out, Tony's face falls.

"Oh, you don't think we just gave Thor a fake Tesseract, do you?" Tony asks, Steve raises an eyebrow. They all share a look, Clint sighs and hangs his head.

"We are so dead" he mumbles. "We could just start war with Asgard and pretty sure we will not survive that"

"She could have surprised us" Bruce offers. They all shoot him a look. "I heard it" he states. "Yeah, we're dead" he agrees with Clint. "We're all going to die" Bruce adds.

Maze walks down a street as she hums to herself, she throws something that looks very much like the Tesseract up into the air before catching it again. She smirks and then drops it into her bag and then looks up at the building she approaches, her eyes drifting to the sign by the door. Sister Margaret's School for Wayward Children. Home. She's come home. She takes a breath and then heads on inside, her hood up over her head, covering her face. She wants to see not to show. She can't have Wade recognising her, or anyone else that drinks here.
