Burnt;The story of the Frost Giant and the Dragon

Chapter 9

"Oh god there're coming this way,and they brought Bucky...we'er screwed!" Skullora whispered.Suddenly Loki grabbed Skullora and began to kiss her passionately.As he let go more tears pored down his face. "I am going to miss my quim."he said miserably."No this is not how this ends,I have an idea but I know that you won't approve."she smiled."No no no no no you are not going to do anything!I do not wish to see you get yourself killed!"Loki spat.Skullora stood up and grabbed Loki's staff."I know,"she said with a sly smile,"that's why I have to use this!"She held the end of the staff to his chest until his eyes turned an icy blue color."I am really really sorry but I promise it will only last for a while."Skullora then kissed Loki on the check,walked out the mouth of the cave and ran as fast as she could in the opposite direction.

"Hey look who I found!"Clint said happily.He had glanced over to find Loki running away,as usual.
A look of pure rage spread across Bucky's face,and before anyone could stop him he was gone.
"Dammit!"Steve said under his breath.The chase had begun.
Bucky quickly caught up to Loki and he had one thing on his mind,revenge. Sure Loki was faster than him but that didn't mean that Bucky was going to give up easily.He reached for his gun only to find that it gone.Then he reached into his other side to find that his knifes were still with him.Quickly Bucky pulled one out and threw it in Loki's direction as hard as he possibly could with his metal arm.The knife missed and landed in a near by tree.This made Bucky's rage grow.He then reached for a second knife which barely skimmed the top of Loki's helmet."It's not nice to throw sharp objects at people!"Loki yelled without even turning around. His comment made Bucky snap.He threw a third knife which hit Loki in the back of his left leg.It apparently wasn't enough to kill him(at the moment)but Bucky had crossed his fingers for the chance of hitting a main artery.
Fortunately he didn't and Loki continued to run as the sharp and agonizing pain shot through his leg.
"Why the hell haven't you stopped yet!"Bucky yelled with blind rage.
Now Loki's vision had begun to blur.He could feel his boot fill with warm, slippery blood but tried to ignore it along with the pain.His leg was slowly refusing to move, this slowed Loki down just enough for Bucky to make a move.
Before he realized what was going on, Bucky leapt into the air and brought Loki down hard.They rolled a few yards before coming to a stop.When they stopped rolling Loki began fighting furiously.He swiftly kick Bucky in the face and attempted to crawl away.Bucky grabbed his left leg and pulled Loki backward.He then pinned him to the ground with his metal arm.
At this point Loki knew that he couldn't do anything that would get him out alive so he laid still and accepted his fate.
Loki took in a sharp breath of air as Bucky slowly pulled the knife out of his leg(as it turns out the blade was stuck in a bone).
He quickly held the knife to Loki's through,daring him to make the slightest movement.
The warm blood from the knife dripped onto Loki's face as he laid there waiting for it to make a slow swipe across,ending his life.
"Death is too good for you,"Bucky spat,"after what you did you deserve to suffer.I will make sure that happens personally."
"I also know all about your little girlfriend,what would she think of you if she actually knew the truth?You probably lied to her didn't you? I bet if she knew about New York it would be over!I think Im going to hurt you even more just for her."
"I don't care what your brother says,he's not here so that means your mine now bitch!"
"BUCKY STOP!" Steve yelled.He quickly obeyed and dropped the knife.Steve gave him a very disappointed glare.
"Steve you've trained your attack dog well haven't you?Now if you could just get him to behave."Tony said as he landed beside Steve.
"BROTHER!I HAVE FOUND THEE AT LAST!"Thor pushed Bucky out of the way and pulled Loki into a back breaking hug."Stop it Barbie your crushing my spine."he choked out with what little air Thor had not already forced out of him.
Between the hug and his leg Loki could no longer take the pain.A soft purple light faded over his body and he became a she.
Thor immediately freaked out and dropped her on the ground."Oh thank god."she then took in a deep breath."Tis not Loki!"he said alarmingly,"What trickery is this?" Tony laughed,"Ha ha,I knew something was up when you called him Barbie!Glad Im not the only one with a seance of humor."
Steve looked at the girl for a few moments before extending his hand out in her direction.She slightly hesitated before shaking it firmly.
"You must be Skullora."he said with a small smile."Yup...I see that Hiemdall put in a good word for me."she spoke sheepishly.
She breathed in sharply as Steve pulled her to her feet."I don't think that is the best idea."Natasha said gesturing toward Skullora's leg.Steve got a glance of her wound and quickly made her lay back down.
"Oh god..."he sighed,"dammit Bucky you have to learn how to control yourself!"
"I'm fine,it's just a scratch I've had much worse."she laughed.
A look of guilt fell onto Bucky's face. "I-Im sorry I-I just lost control."he put his hands over his head and fell to his knees.Then he punched the ground with his metal arm and yelled loudly. "You stupid sonofabitch!"
"Is he going to be ok?"Skullora asked. "He'll calm down in a minuet...What I wouldn't give to find those Hydra loving basters who did this."Steve sighed before walking over to help his friend.
Clint looked at Skullora curiously before kneeling down beside of her and put his hand on her shoulder."She is freaking adorable!"he said with a smile.Clint pinched her cheeks."Just look at her!She wouldn't hurt a-" Skullora bit his hand,"Owww you little bitch..."he yelled.
"How dare you call me adorable!I strike fear into the hearts of men!"She said with a darker tone.
"Ok Smauge,"Tony laughed as he knelt down beside her as well."We get it,you are fire,you are death!"He almost immediately went to work on Skullora's leg.
"Well Im glad someone understood that reference."she smiled.Tony smirked,"I see what you did there...but I bet that Steve wouldn't."
"So how many other nicknames could you make for Thor...or was Barbie the only one?"he asked in an effort to take her mind off the pain.
"Oh no...I have lots of them.Just to name a few; Blondie, Hammerhead, Steroids, Sparky,and my personal favorite Captain Arrogance."
Tony laughed,"Captain Arrogance...I really have to remember that one."
Bruce glanced over at Natasha and sighed."Oh god we have found another Tony...I think of Tony as one of my best friends but I can't handle two of him."Natasha nodded,"They even look the same."
Bruce studied Skullora closer before realizing that she and Tony had the same square jaw and snarky attitude.
"Hiemdall said that she doesn't know her real name.I am willing to bet that she doesn't know who her real family is ether.You don't think..." Natasha smiled,"Well it could be a possibility. Didn't he mention something about Skullora being a great importance to one of us? It could be Tony.Lets see she looks about the same age as him... maybe the were separated at birth or something."Bruce shook his head,"No, they had to be old enough to at least remember each other."
After a while Steve seemed to calm down Bucky and his attention was drawn back to Skullora.
She and Tony were now in an argument about who would win in a fight,Legolas or Hawkeye.They finally came to an agreement when they realized they are basically the same person.
"We really need to do something about your leg!"Bucky said with great concern."Oh it's ok I've already taken care of it."Tony shrugged his shoulders as if he had done nothing.
He had stopped the bleeding and had wrapped it tightly in a cloth.
"I told him he just should have used a bandaid but he wouldn't listen."
Bucky laughed and stuck out his hand."No hard feelings right?"he asked nervously,he really felt horrible after having another episode but now he was back to acting like his old self.
Skullora glared at Bucky who automatically took down his hand."I'm sorry I understand."he said as he starred awkwardly at the ground. Skullora busted out laughing. "No I'm just kidding.It's all good as long as you can show me how you threw a knife like that!"Bucky's face softened as he smiled,"Really?I have to admit you are fast, and I want to know how you kick so hard.For a second I thought you broke my jaw!"
Bucky then noticed that like most people,Skullora's attention was focused oh his arm."I know this sounds really offensive(and sorry for starring)but can I touch your arm?It looks freaking amazing...just curious how it works."she said in amazement.
Bucky's smile widened as he laughed.
"Yeah,by all means help yourself!"
With that she slid her hand over the smooth surface of his arm.
"Holy shit! That is so cool!!!"Skullora appeared to be having a fangirl attack and Bucky seemed to be enjoying himself.
Tony laughed and playfully punched Bucky on his arm(the normal one).
"Hey Barns,you better not let Loki see the way your looking at her right now!"he whispered in his ear.
Bucky jumped backward in shock.
"WAIT THIS IS THE GIRL!"he said aloud(which was not what he had intended to do).
