A Tale of Mischief and Mutants

False Affections

—-Wanda—-

I watch from access the room as Loki and Sam kiss. The way they interact reminds me of myself and Vis. Steve seems puzzled over something as Loki talks with Sam.

"Steve what is it?"

"...he's... kneeling."

I still don't understand the confusion.

"Yes?"

"It's just in Germany he... just... never mind."

I give him a confused look of my own but drop it. Loki picks up a now unconscious Sam and walks over to us. He holds her with such care as if she could break at the slightest mishap.

"We should be going."

The moment we are in the sights of any of Amora's Marauders I shift my demeanor. I shove Sam into Rogers arms roughly. Hopefully Maximoff and Rogers can sell this lie. Rogers tries to exchange a glance with me I give him nothing remaining cold and calculated if this is going to work we can't do things like that. Hopefully he gets the message, as of now Avenger Loki is no longer here.

We walk along for a bit I've observed we're being followed by the enemy. We're surrounded though they're keeping themselves relatively hidden. Finally a Marauder approaches me following him is a group of armed men. He must be someone of some sort of authority.

"Queen Amora's made it clear we should kill anyone that comes through here but you come with prisoners did the queen send for you?"

I smile.

"Tell the queen Loki Odinson has come baring gifts and requesting an audience."

The man looks at me suspiciously.

"Who are you to her?"

"Just an old flame looking for a second chance."

'Ew.' I hate this approach but it's the most believable story I could come up with I will play the part of a broken-hearted fool who is willing to, as Sam would humorously put it, simp for Amora.

In short Amora will believe she's stringing me along and using me, when in reality I will be playing her for a fool. I can't say revenge didn't play some role in how I formulated my plan. We shall see how she likes being betrayed. The man pauses seeming to take my request into consideration then seems to come to a decision.

"Alright I'm going to leave you here with my men and speak with the queen you make a move and they'll kill you."

I nod and he walks away out of my view.

I am escorted along with my teammates to Amora's throne room of sorts. Amora stands and approaches me.

"Ah Loki! My love it's been too long! What brings you to Midgard and more puzzlingly to me?"

I suppress displaying any of the rage her nonchalant behavior lights inside me. 'How can she act like nothing's happened?!'

"I've come to join your side my father forbade me from visiting you in Vanaheim but he's gone now and I'm afraid Ragnarok befell Asgard leaving me stranded in this miserable realm then I heard of your arrival my dear."

Amora smiles it's not full of love and affection as Sam's smile is, its instead full of lust and malice. She comes closer to me and walks in a way that flaunts her natural gifts. As repulsed as I am by her I cannot deny her objective visual attractiveness. That being said I honestly prefer Sam to Amora's over abundance.

"You've forgiven me darling?"

'Not one bit.' I feel disgusted at my next words.

"I believe my brother may have overreacted. I'm sure you didn't exactly have to hold a dagger to his throat. I understand you were tempted as well Amora I just want us to move on from this if you're willing."

Amora kisses me and I resist the urge to pull away or draw a dagger on her instead easing into it like I would if she were Sam. Thankfully it doesn't last long, she pulls away and beams at me with her malicious smile.

"My love of course! And you've brought me such wonderful gifts they caused my army a great deal of trouble!"

She's taken the bait and I'm on the right track now. Amora signals her guards.

"Take them somewhere they won't cause trouble. I'll decide their fates later."

I'm relieved she hasn't decided to kill them we would have to scrap the whole plan now if that happened. I smirk at Amora as her guards take my teammates away, as they take Sam away, somehow this effectively hides my worry.
