I Forgive You ( Avengers Love Story)

Chapter 3 The pathes we chose

Sarah stared at Loki intently, trying to read him. He was shutting her out on purpose. This was something she wansnt as suprised about as she expected to be. It wasnt that Sarah couldnt hear Loki. Its that he made himself simply hum in his head. Huuuumm hummm hummm. It was all she could hear. Sarah relised that Loki knew she could read his mind, he cought onto that faster then she expected, now he was making it impossible for her to read him.

"You know you really should give up now." Loki said teasingly. Sarah glared at him "Tell me..do the others know?" Loki slowly walked closer to the glass that seperated them. Sarah knew she didnt ave to answer that, she knew he already had the answer. Loki was a very clever man, she would give him that. "Why do you need to take over the world Loki? Really..what happened to you that filled you with som much hate?" Sarah could feel his defences go down, so she took the chance a reached into his mind.

"No that cant be!" Loki yelled. His eyes filled with anger and sadness. "Im sorry my son, but it is true. It was kept from you only to protect you." A large older man said. His eyes also filled with sadness and regret. "I am not your son! I am no ones son! I am a monster!" The elder tried to reach for Loki but he pulled away quickly.

Loki clutched his head. "Stay out of my mind!!!" He yelled. Sarah gave a small look of sadness to Loki. "Do not try and pitty me Human. I will get what is owed to me." Sarah shook her head. "How is earth owed to you?" Loki smiled. "I should have been king of my home, not Thor.. eaither that or of the Frost Giants. Both were kept from me. A truth that has now set me free!" Sarah walked closer the the glass, looking into the gods green eyes, so filled with anger. " Would you rather thay kept it from you forever?" Loki glared. "No they should have told me from the very begining!" Sarah shook her head. "Would you have reacted any differently?" Lokis glare softend. "I..I dont know. But that simple truth made everything else seem like a lie. For that I will get my revenge." Sarah closed her eyes and sighed. "Loki, At some point, you have to make a decision. Boundaries don't keep other people out. They fence you in. Life is messy. That's how we're made. So, you can waste your lives drawing lines. Or you can live your life crossing them. But there are some lines... that are way too dangerous to cross. Taking over the world, is one of those lines. You will not win." Loki only stared at her. Looking into her eyes to try and be angery at her words. The truth that Loki wouldnt even admit to himself was that there was a possiblity she was right.

Sarah walked into the dining hall to see Steve and Thor talking. "Whats going on guys?" Steve smiled at her. "Nothin really you?" Thor turned to her. "Yes, how is my brother doing?" Sarah looked up at Thor. She woundered how he could be calm about his brother situation. "Hes ok Thor, but I can tell hes got alot on his plate." Thor looked confused for a moment. "He has to much food?"  Sarah opened her mouth but was at a loss of words. "Um..no I mean..hes got alot on his mind." Thor nodded. "Ah I see. I apologise I am still learning the language of Earth." She waved her head dismissivly. "No worries." Thor walked off proably to go try and talk to Loki, leaving only her and Steve. "So where is everyone?" Sarah asked turning her attention back to Steve. He put his hands in his pockets and gave a light shrug. "Around..Bruce is always in the lab, Tony..well I try to avoid him...Natasha and Clint are training I think." Sarah nodded. Steve sighed and squeezd his eyes shut for a moment. "Are you ok?" Sarah placing her hand on his shoulder. Steve looked at her nervusly. "Can I say something without seeming like a real creep?" Sarah raised an eyebrow at him. "Erm.. Im not sure..can you?" She gave him a light smile. "I was just woundering..how someone like you..ended up here?" Sarah wasnt sure how to take that. "What do you mean someone like me?" Steves eyes widened. "No! I dont mean in a bad way! I just mean your..really..really pretty, and you just dont seem like someone who wants to be part of all this." Sarah couldnt help but feel a little flatured and offended at that same time. "Um, well..maybe Im like you..maybe I dosnt chose to be here..humm..did that ever cross your mind?" Sarah moved to the table and sat down. Steve shifted slightly uncomfortable. Looking into his mind Sarah found why. Damn it..you making a fool of yourself..you had to go there..wait what if she is here by force like the rest of us..why would they force her? Sarah sighed and looked away from Steve. "You wanna know why Im here?" Steve sat down next to her, resting his forarms on the table. "Its because-" "Loki is escaping!!" Fury came in running.

Steve and Sarah both got up and ran to where Loki was suppose to be. Loki smirked at them. "Its almost sad how easy it is to trick my brother." Sarah was about to say something when Phil came out. "Hey! Back down or I will fire this!" Sarah looked at the odd gun he was holding. "What is.." Phil held up a finger to her. "Its so secret I dont even know what it does." Loki looked annoyed and threw a ball of light at him sending him flying. Sarah went to Phil, worry becoming her. Loki stalked over slowly, about to end phils life. She looked up at Loki with pleading eyes. "Leave him alone!" Loki looked down at her. His expression was one that Sarah could not comprehend. Loki raised his staff but then was shot away. Sarah looked back at Phil who smiled wildly. "So thats what it does!" Sarah chuckled slightly, but it was gone as quick as it came as Loki re apeared and killed phil. "No!" She stood up quickly and punched him in the nose. Loki was not expecting such a direct attack and took the hit. He grasped his nose for a moment. "Ow..You know you could do so much better." Sarah shook her head. Tears filling her eyes. "No, you..you are nothing. Phil was a good person..he was one of the people who devoted his to save others..to help them..He is someone who would jump infront of a bus to help a complete stranger. He was great, an you will never amount to the people we have lost." Her voice was firm, but he could hear the gravel in it. Loki watched as a few tears slowly fell from her eyes, down her face. In moments he was gone.

Fury ran into the room. "Where the hell is Steve?!" Sarah shook her head. "I dont know..." After regathering everyone and thing, the team met up to discuse what happened. Steve was last to walk in. "Glad you could make it mr.Rogers, Phil will be happy to know you can still sighn his cards. Oh wait hes dead." Fury tossed Phils bloody comic cards down onto the table. "Phils dead?" Tony asked. Sarah nodded at him. Steves jaw clenched. His heart hurt. So did everyone eslses. Sarah looked up. "I know you all are upset, but this is it. In your life, you meet people. Some you never think about again. Some, you wonder what happened to them. There are some that you wonder if they ever think about you. And then there are some you wish you never had to think about again. But you do. We are going to remember Phil.There's a point in life when you start to realize who matter; who never did; and who always will. Loki made this personal. This ends now.
