The first warm glow of twilight was spreading over the Asgardian sky. \u00a0Loki stood very still on what was left of the bridge to the bifrost, clear green eyes idly watching the celestial bodies in the sky. \u00a0His head ached from last night\u2019s mental battle. \u00a0His hands were clenched in uneasy fists, one gripping a stolen transportation relic. \u00a0He knew what must be done. \u00a0He only hoped they could be off before Heimdall tried to stop them.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Summer wasn\u2019t sure what Loki wanted, only that she\u2019d been summoned to meet him at the shattered edge of the bifrost. What should she be for him, tonight? Did he want to drink, again? Flirt, play?<\/p>\n

Rehearse his history?<\/p>\n

As she flew down the remaining length of the bridge, fire-born wings trailing sparks behind her, she could see him, poised at the edge. Landing softly, she called, \u201cLoki?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

For a moment, he was mesmerized by those graceful wings, like ethereal lights tucking themeselves back into her being. \u00a0He blinked as the rest of her came into focus. \u00a0Distracting\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cSummer.\u201d \u00a0He greeted, nodding at her. \u00a0There was little time for formalities. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI need you to listen to me very carefully. \u00a0Thanos has targeted us; both of us. \u00a0You angered him last night by showing loyalty to me. \u00a0He is not one to ask questions, he will simply kill for sport.\u201d \u00a0He took a few steps closer to her, holding out the transport device. \u00a0\u201dWe have only one option: he must fall first.\u201d \u00a0He looked at her with pleading eyes, as if to say, you will help me, won\u2019t you?<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“I — ” Summer started, them closed her mouth and began again. “D’you have a plan? I wouldn’t even know where to look. I’m not minded to go haring off into the wild blue yonder without at least some shape of a plan. Even for you.” That last held a slight edge.<\/p>\n

She paced to the side of the rainbow bridge, glancing down and down. “It’s a bit out of character for you, isn’t it, being worried for someone else’s safety? Or perhaps I’m just insurance, your wild card, as it were.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
