"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."

THE NEXT DAY, THEY WERE TO EMBARK ON THEIR MISSION. THOR'S FRIENDS HAD FINALLY COME AROUND to the idea of Loki assisting, placing all their trust in Thor. They weren't going to travel by foot, but by aircraft.
Thor's friends assumed their positions, stationed to fight off the guards that inhabited the palace. Alex had given them all an appreciative glance, letting them know she was grateful for their cooperation in the plan. They left Lady Sif at the entrance of the corridor, where guards were to first enter.
Before they could pass, she stopped Loki.
"If you betray him, I'll kill you." Lady Sif held her sword to his neck.
"I'd expect no less from you, Sif."
Alex shifted her eyes between the two, and her mind couldn't help but wonder if there was any history between them. A small twitch tugged at her heart, and she ignored it.
Guards suddenly appeared, and Sif unsheathed her double-edged sword. Alex quickly thought of something to stop them. She held her hands out, focusing on bringing back whatever she conjured up in Loki's room when she froze him. She opened her eyes, and the group of guards were stuck in place.
It worked.
"They won't hold, but you have a minute or so." She spoke tiredly to Sif, who grinned at her.
Suddenly, however, Alex began to buckle. She knew she needed to wake up if they were going to make it to the aircraft in time, but she couldn't stay standing up. Loki sighed, quickly picking her up and throwing her over his shoulder.
"My goodness, you want a name? Fainter. You are now named Fainter." He complained.
"That's," She was dozing in and out. "Lame"
"Then by Valhalla, wake up, I'm tired of carrying you."
"Are we the bad guys here? I can't tell," Her groggy voice made Loki smile.
She fought to keep her eyes open, knowing they had a lot ahead of them she needed to be awake for. She felt an uneasiness in her stomach as she looked up at the aircraft. There was no way in hell that was safe to travel in. Thor helped Jane into it, awaiting Loki and Alex.
As they entered, Thor examined the numerous panels the ship's control board had. He started to poke and prod the various buttons, and it was clear he had no idea what he was doing.
"I thought you said you knew how to fly this thing," Loki spoke.
He had set Alex down, who insisted she was fine. She was beginning to find her strength again, which was a lot faster than it normally took.
