"Then you'll have no problem with me taking you as prisoner."
"Well, I'm making a pros and cons list in my head, and 'super villain who just attacked my city' is kind of a big one on there."

LOKI STOOD, HIS EYES INTENSE AS HE STARED AT ALEX. SHE FELT UNCOMFORTABLE UNDER HIS GAZE, BUT didn't break eye contact. She was outgrowing her fear of him, and it blossomed into defiance, and strength.
He grabbed her forearm, and roughly pulled her down the corridor back to her chambers.
"Ow," She squirmed under his grasp. "Let me go,"
He granted her wish, practically throwing her into the chamber. He shut the door, and turned to her with an unsettled look on his face. She straightened herself, wondering how much of her conversation with Thor he might've heard.
"I am not your little project." He spoke.
So, apparently all of it.
"I didn't mean that you are--"
"Forget the conversation we had earlier, you cannot help me. I won't allow it."
"I'm so sick of this, Loki. Jesus, I am simply trying to be your damn friend. Do you even have any friends?"
"I've got friends."
"Yeah? Who?"
Loki paused for a moment. "You don't know them."
She threw her hands up in frustration, laughing humorlessly. "You're lucky Thor won't take me back to Earth, or I would've been long gone by now."
His ears perked at her statement. Thor wasn't going to bring Alex back to Earth? But, why? The Bifrost was available for use, and the girl the Avengers needed was in his grasp.
"In case you're wondering, it's because he's focusing on Jane's safety. Turns out, your brother really loves her."
Loki scoffed at this. His brother was in love with a mortal, a stupid thing to do. They were simply not compatible. A mere mortal could never withstand the power a god has. Not to mention, at some point, Jane will grow old, and Thor still won't look a day over forty.
"Jane's safety," Loki repeated under his breath.
"Yes,"
Loki's lips slid into a sly grin, realizing this would benefit him. His idiotic brother surely will forget all about the ransom, and focus on saving the mortal girl. Unknowingly, Thor has assisted Loki in his plans. Turning on his heel to walk out of the room, Loki pursed his lips.
"Where are you going?" Alex asked.
"Nowhere that concerns you." He said harshly, shutting the door behind him.
He strolled down toward the gardens, where he would be able to think clearly. He saw Thor and Jane walking alongside each other, talking and laughing. A pang of jealousy struck at Loki's heart at Thor's apparent ease. He always had it easy, compared to Loki. Thor was not burdened with the task of retrieving a powerful scepter that contained a very precious relic; no, his girlfriend was just dying.
