Chapter 18

Eloise POV

"Alright everyone pair off to warm up." Cap said, Wanda waved Eloise over, "So how does you magic work?" she asked as they began stretching, "I'm not 100% sure, I just feel it and I think about what I want to do. It doesn't seem to be too limited and when I see others doing magic I tend to be able to replicate their styles, I was able to replicate Loki's power where he creates an image of himself and that was just thru feeling him do it. I also learned out to harness the same magic Steven Strange could but I never needed the ring. " Eloise explained, "Ok well let's trying to see if we can find anything you can't do." "Actually we're gonna take this outside so we don't break anything. " Steve interjected.

Loki POV

Loki walked out on to Eloise's balcony, wondering what to do. He was worried, he had never shown Eloise images of Thanos planet even when their soul bond was was fully open. So he had to assume Thanos was the one who had taken Eloise. His heart broke for her, no wonder her memories were gone, he wished he could remove his own memories of that place. He could tell from her thoughts Thanos held no sway over her thoughts so she had managed to resist him and somehow escape. "Brother, you must come watch the Lady Eloise train, no one has bested her yet! Stark would like everyone to try fighting her so we can see where she needs to train more." Thor called from below. Loki sighed, he wasn't sure if his presence would really be helpful or not.

Loki transported himself next to his brother, "So shall we try fighting her together?" Thor continued talking as they walked together, hearing general shouts and chaos getting closer. Loki didn't answer, "Hey, let's do get help!" Thor grinned at him, Loki grumbled, "I hate it, it's humiliating." Thor reached for his arm to start dragging him, "We're doing it." Loki firmly said, "We're not doing it." Thor grinned at him, "You have to admit she wouldn't see it coming." He finally muttered "Fine." and pretended to faint while Thor carried him, "GET HELP! PLEASE! MY BROTHER, HE'S DYING! GET HELP!"

He sensed Eloise was distracted but confused, as Thor threw him at her, but before he could hit her, her magic froze him and he heard her start to laugh. He opened his eyes and she was about two inches from her face, hanging in mid air. "Only thing you are dying from is humiliation." She tried not to smile at him, then he dropped as she dropped into a roll as Clint shot an exploding arrow at them. He reached out for her but she'd jumped to her feet, running she threw a large bolder with her magic, launching it into the air towards Stark in his suit, who was rocketing towards her; Loki watched as Thor joined in the fight, watching her with worry. She was good, deftly weilding both magic and fighting hand to hand, she seemed to be enjoying herself, testing her boundaries. Thor began to summon his lightening to knock her down when he would hit his hammer again Captains shield when she did something he never expected. As the lightening traveled down she glanced at it and he felt her reach with her magic and pull the lightening away from Mjölnir and channeled it away.

She grinned as Thor realized his lightening hadn't come to his hammer. "Sorry, didn't feel like getting knocked down. " she teased Thor. "Sister would you do me a favor? Hold this?" Thor countered throwing Mjölnir, she caught it and held it. "What?! No way. "Tony yelled as Thor grinned at her, "Catch," Eloise litely threw it back to him. "Alright I think that's enough for today." Steve said, unsure what more they could try to test her on, "Hold on, she hasn't fought me yet and my fighting style is probably the best to match hers." Loki stood up and walked over to Eloise.

Eloise POV

She tucked the strands of hair that had come loose from her braid behind her ears and stood straight facing Loki. His eyes locked on her, then dozens of Loki's appeared, she glanced at all of them and looking directly into the real Loki's eyes, waving her hand they all vanished, she pulled out two knives and they began to fight, they were evenly matched in fighting styles without magic, both fast and deadly, everytime Loki tried to gain the upper hand using magic or a trick, she grabbed it and twisted his magic to suit her.

After 30 minutes both were becoming exhausted, neither willing to yield, she felt him touch her mind to try and gain an upper hand thru seeing what move she would use next. Fine she thought, try and use my mind against me, I can do the same. So she flooded her mind thinking about their kisses last night and about how her lips were still sore but pleasantly so falling back on reacting thru instinct. He let out a gasp, so she continued, thinking about how his hands might feel across her bare skin, how she had wanted him to join her in the bathtub the other day, how she had enjoyed the feeling of his arms wrapped around her, laying across his bare chest, she felt him focus in on the images and then she struck, knocking him to the ground, pinning his arms with her legs as she sat on his chest, holding a knife to his throat. "I win." She said softly, before jumping up and walking away.

Loki POV

Loki stayed on the ground, watching his wife's butt as she walked away. He wasn't sure if he wanted to fuck her, spank her, or fight her again, she was glorious and frustrating. Thor reached a hand down to pull his brother to his feet. "What was that all about?" Thor wondered, grabbing Mjölnir as they headed inside, "We had a... disagreement... last night and I think she's punishing me." Loki laughed shaking his head. "Well brother, at least we know she can protect herself." Thor confidently said, "I don't think so, she had a nightmare last night, I was able to see part of her nightmare, it was Thanos, brother I'm sure of it. I think he's the one who kidnapped her and who has been attacking her." Loki confided in Thor his voice worried. "She won't let me help her and I have no idea how to help her. I wasn't able to fight off Thanos", thinking back to his years of torture at the hands of Thanos. "Fear not brother, we will find a way, your wife is strong and we have many friends who will help defend her." Thor clapped his shoulder.

Loki looked for Eloise at lunch but didn't see her, he reached out to her thoughts and found her outside in the forest, her thoughts wary of his, I just wanted to make sure you were going to eat something He thought to her. He felt her mentally sigh and at the same time appreciated his concern, she sent him the image of the same food that he was eating next to her a couple of bites missing out of one of the tacos. So are we going to talk about what you were thinking about? He thought at her about replaying the images she had shown had sent to him during the fight, she was amused, you started it and I believe you also said, alls fair in love and war she sent back. Shall I finish it too? He then overwhelmed her thinking about what he wanted to do to her, the places his hands would lingere, imagining pulling her close, pinning her arms above her head so that he could explore her soft mouth, the secret spot right at the base of her neck that made her absolutely melt if he kissed it, he felt her answering alarm, Jesus Christ, you nearly made me fall out of the tree and I dropped my lunch, not cool. He chuckled at her chiding him without acknowledging her surge in answering lust. I'll bring you another. he thought at her as he felt her twinge of annoyance and hunger. Thank you. he felt her answer, Anything for you princess.
