A New Avenger

Again?

POV Cat, during Loki's escape

Finally. I shot up out of bed. It was time. I had rehearsed the plan a million times over. I remembered every single detail he told me. I hung on to every word he said. After so long of sitting around and waiting for this day I was going to be able to see him again. I tried to shove my excitement down, knowing that it could cloud my judgment, I know that there's a bigger plan than just seeing the one I love, But it doesn't mean that that's the only thing I'm thinking about. I put on the dress he gave me which made me feel like a Princess. I was so exhausted from hiding, from faking the death, from everything. I just wanted to see him again.

After a quick ride we were there, at the base. The other scientists Loki had controlled by the mind stone dropped me. It was weird to see the base again. I thought about all the memories i made and the friends i had betrayed. My mind drifted to Esme; I wonder how she is. She can't be doing well after what happened. I was her only friend and I betrayed her, and that was always on my mind, but I know what my mission is and I'm going to succeed. For a split second it almost felt like regret until my mind went straight back to him. It's all worth it. I love him. Using my abilities, I was able to sneak past everyone. Since they thought I was dead they really didn't see me coming. I continued to sneak in my cat form around. One guard noticed me, but I quickly transformed into my normal size and knocked him out. Nothing was going to stand in my way. I used the device from Shields secure weapon section that we had gotten right before Loki and I hatched this plan. I set it on the scanner to get into Loki's cell, pressed the button and held my ears. a small bang happened, and alarms went off I knew i had to act fast. I ran in and he was sitting looking at the ground and he looked up at me and said "ah yes, just on time as I knew you would be." I laughed and said, "did you expect anything else?" he smirked and said "never". he broke himself out of the cage. I knew he could the entire time. And then he cloaked us as basic looking shield agents.

we sped walked around the Avengers searching for us. And Loki gave me the cutest smirk as we walked by Them. He truly loves being mischievous. as we were running through the halls going towards the exit, we walked past Esme speeding towards his prison cell. It only tripped me up for a second. With Loki following me, we ended up at the back entrance. It's old and nobody really uses it, most people don't even remember it, so I wasn't worried anyone was going to find us. Loki took off our cloaking and without wasting a second he pulled me into his arms. I had missed him so much . His warmth, his arms in mostly his laugh. He pulled me away from his chest and looked me in the eyes and said "thank you darling, I couldn't have done this without you." it was weird to see him serious as I've only seen him hatching plans or something along those lines. But he knew we couldn't stay long. He pulled me in and our lips crashed together. it was something I have thought about for months waiting for this moment. He rested his hand on my cheek and leaned in for even more. I never wanted this moment to end. Afterwards we pulled back and just looked at each other and laughed because we had both been waiting for this moment. As we were smiling toward each other we heard the door smash open. Oh, no Esme. She had a look of complete confusion on her face And I knew this wasn't going to end well

Back to POV Esme

I didn't want to fight her again. I hated the fact that i had to in the first place. After what felt like an eternity of me just standing there I spoke up, "Cat Don't make me do this again. I don't want it to this again. I regret what I did every second of every day. "With tears in my eyes I continued, "You were my only friend and you forced me to kill you. Or at least think I killed you" She seemed unfazed by what I said, and Loki just stepped back with his hands up, signaling that he's going to stay out of this one. She said in a shaky voice, "you were my friend too. But I don't want to be on the side that you're on. Everything we're doing isn't for evil. You think you're with the good guys and you think I'm with the bad guys but it's not that way. There's still a way that we can be friends again, we can fix our friendship. Just say you'll stay with us." With tears in my eyes I began to summon water as I said, "You know I won't." I hit them both with a huge gush of water and knocked cat off her feet. Loki sped toward me with his dagger and as soon as he was about to slice me with it a vine from the tree above grabbed his arm. He quickly broke it and barely grazed my cheek. He again lunged at me, but I smashed more water at him, and it pushed him back. Coughing water, he stood up and said, "This isn't over, maybe one day Thor will actually be here to help you" and grabbed cat off the ground. He pulled the tesseract seemingly from mid air and with that, they were gone. I fell onto my bottom.

I lost, again.

Soon after agents swarmed out to where I was, but it was too late. I felt so inadequate. This is not the first time I've lost to them. I'm supposed to be so strong, but I always lose. Thor came crashing down from the Sky. He was concerned but mostly angry, it felt like he was angry at me. When will this all be over? If I ever get the chance again, I'm not going to hesitate. I'm tired of these games
