Loki\u2019s limbs locked up and he 2`tr0yho [[my cat really wants to contribute]] was conflicted in a way that was familiar and painful. \u00a0Summer was weak, and she was in pain, and it was his fault. \u00a0He had brought her into this. \u00a0Could he leave her? \u00a0Could he flee and save himself and leave her to her own devices?<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2026I can\u2019t\u2026are you strong enough?\u201d his voice was too small, and they were losing time. \u00a0She didn\u2019t look strong enough.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

[hihi Jack. good boy Jack. precious fluffy kitty.]<\/p>\n

\u201cI have to be, don\u2019t I?\u201d she flung over her shoulder. \u201cThe longer you wait, the less chance I have. So either go, now, and trust me to catch up, or get over here and work that device again!\u201d<\/p>\n

The rising heat around her made her hair dance in wild abandon, and she took a deep breath, flinging her arms wide. \u201cCome and get me, you bastards!\u201d Summer screamed into the shadows, which abruptly shot long and dark away from her as her hands filled with flame.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

He knew the teleportation device would not work unless they were at its point of origin again. \u00a0It was a good quarter mile away.<\/p>\n

That was close enough.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot for me. \u00a0You will do no more for me, fire child!\u201d he half yelled, and without giving her a second to even register what was going on, he gathered the woman in his arms and took off running, her arms slung awkwardly over his shoulders and the fire burning out in her hands. \u00a0He might not have been Thor, but he was strong, and very fast, and Summer wasn\u2019t much of a burden.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cGRK\u2014LOKI!\u201d Summer\u2019s surprise was so great she couldn\u2019t react more than to shriek his name. \u201cWHAT are you doing?!\u201d She tried to jerk her head up, at least, so she could watch their backs, could warn him. A thought put the fire out, leaving the halls in shadow, but she didn\u2019t need sight to guard them.<\/p>\n

Empathic senses spread wide, net-like, searching for the least hint of discovery.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

They burst out onto the black rocks, and Loki\u2019s quick pace led them quickly the portal area. \u00a0\u201dYou are an idiot to think I\u2019d let you stay behind in that state,\u201d he huffed bitterly. \u00a0Then he dropped her onto the ground unceremoniously. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Those who pursued were still a growing rumble.<\/p>\n

\u201cTake hold, now!\u201d he waved the device in front of her.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Wincing as she put a hand on her own hair, Summer slapped a palm upward against the device. “Then I’m an idiot. You should’ve trusted me.” But her eyelids were flickering with exhaustion, and she could feel muscle tremors on the edges of her awareness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
