The walk was long, and dull, and boring. Summer occupied herself tilting her head back to stare at the sky, trying to match the stars with anything familiar at all. It was a fruitless exercise, but better than watching the dull, lifeless rock and dirt surrounding them. She supposed it could be worse \u2014 whatever sun this place had could be up, rendering it blazingly hot. Or blindingly bright.<\/p>\n

It was possible, she mused, that there was no sun here. Just the cold, distant stars in the velvet black of space. How achingly lonely that would be. She shivered, and wrapped her arms around herself.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Loki was acutely aware that his vision was rather skilled in the dark. \u00a0Perhaps he was simply used to such things; anything develops if it is used enough. \u00a0The thought made him sad, and he didn\u2019t know why.<\/p>\n

\u201cKeep your senses sharp, fire child,\u201d he said low. \u00a0They were getting close. \u00a0In fact, he could see the dark fortress materialize before them\u2014a twisting series of angular towers, and the faint glow of red-purple light through a low window. \u00a0His fists clenched over his throwing knives instinctively, remembering the last time he was brought to that room.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cI\u2019m going to need brain bleach after this,\u201d Summer murmured back. \u201cIt\u2019s like having everything slimy crawl through my head. But nothing\u2019s changed. Still the two, one very strong, very \u2026 \u201d She paused for a long time, searching for a word. \u201d \u2026 very disciplined. And the others, flickering.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

He nodded quickly, selfish for the moment, his mind entirely focused on forming a plan. \u00a0\u201dDisciplined\u2026I would call him power-obsessed. \u00a0If I had ambitions to rule Midgard, Thanos makes me look like a child at play. \u00a0Summer, I need your full cooperation and\u2026trust.\u201d \u00a0He closed his eyes and began charging a spell, an odd feeling in his gut telling him he was a leader<\/em> for the first time in his life.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

She drew in a deep breath. This was Loki. God of Mischief. The demi-god who had nearly destroyed New York City.<\/p>\n

A man who, those whole time, had only asked. Not demanded, or commanded, but asked.<\/p>\n

She poured out confidence and strength.\u00a0”What do you need me to do?”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
