“Just pull the trigger, I'll take the pain
I'll be the villain, just play the game!
I've found a bitter heart…”
(Bad Intentions)
Thor was notified by Heimdall that something has happened to Jane while he was away helping his people clean up the mess the dark elves had made. Worry and fear rose in his wide chest and he felt his heart beating against his ribs as he flew with Mjölnir over the rainbow bridge, after getting permission from his father Odin to check it out. Heimdall soon opened the Bifrost and the tall man arrived to Jane’s apartment within minutes. He saw the knocked out S.H.I.E.L.D. agents coming around. He grabbed one of them by his suit and dragged him along to the half-opened door of her apartment. Seeing the messed up furniture he felt his rage and worry build up even more and turned his icy stare at the human whose legs were dangling in the air.
“What happened here? Where is she?” he grunted at him on his hoarse voice.
“We had… no chance, Sir…” he coughed.
“Where is she?!” he shouted at him angrily.
“Your… your brother Loki of Asgard came… We tried to hold him back but he… knocked us all out… I’m sorry we failed to protect her… He… he probably took her with him” he said with fear in his eyes.
Thor just stared at the man shaking from anger then put him down and shook his head in disbelief.
“She… refused to let us take her to a safe house like when New York City was invaded. We tried to reason with her after you left, but she… she wanted to wait for your return here.”
He looked at the beaten up man for a split second and in the next, when he noticed the blood on the edge of the coffee table, he hit its top, crushing it to pieces. The whole building echoed his wounded roar. “LOKI!!!!”

The light hurt her eyes as she tried to open them and the throbbing in her head got stronger. She moaned in pain as she lifted a hand to the back of her scull. First she had no idea where she was or what’d happened. Then slowly everything came back and she quickly sat up just to get her head swirl and making herself want to throw up.
“You hit your head pretty badly, Jane…” she heard that sadly familiar voice coming from across the half-lit room. She forced herself to open her eyes and clear her vision. She was sitting in a bed of a richly decorated yet grayish room. She looked around confused until she spotted the source of that hated voice.
“Where am I?” she gritted through her teeth and her eyes would’ve shot daggers at her captor if they could.
“Well, that’s not a nice look for someone who had your wound tended and brought you to such a nice place, is it?” Loki chuckled and it sounded like the hiss of a snake. “You are in a safe place. Trying to escape would be a foolish thing to do, sweetheart. This realm is my ally now. They finally recognized my right for the throne of Asgard. You wouldn’t get far.”
“Then they are fools. Thor will come for me, you know that well” she said and pulled the cover in front of her chest. She was still in her slightly torn human clothes. She fixed her brown eyes at the demigod who stepped out from the shadows and came closer to the bed. Jane felt the urge to put more distance between them and she slid towards the other side of the bed, fighting her dizziness.
“Stay put. You have a mild concussion, but I wouldn’t force it” Loki said on a commanding hiss and grinned when he saw her froze. He came closer still, having that smug grin on his face that was the exact same like in her troubled dreams. Jane watched him sit down on the edge of the bed close to her. “Besides, Midgardian, I count on a foolish rescue attempt from my dear old brother… That was the plan all along with bringing you here.”
“You want to trap him, don’t you?” Jane asked angrily and tried to pull away when she saw one of the pale hands reach out for her, but Loki grabbed her jaw anyway, forcing her to look up in his face.
“But of course. You aren’t so dumb as most of your people” he licked the edge of his thin mouth and watched hers that was flushed by anger. It seemed he savored what he saw there, but Jane’s fear was overridden by her anger completely. “You have changed, Jane Foster… and to my liking.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?” she asked and tried to free her jaw with clasping her fingers around his wrist, but his grip on her loosened from his own will and instead of a slap, that she’d have expected, he caressed her smooth skin.
“You became stronger… and darker. Was it the Aether? Or my dear foolish brother, who changed everything you’ve ever believed in?” he asked watching his long pale fingers on her rosier cheek.
“You” she admitted quietly but determination reflecting in her eyes.
“Is that so?” he tilted his head to the side looking amused and kept feeling the woman’s skin under his fingertips.
“Yes. I wanted to become stronger to fight you, if needed and I was right, it came handy” she thought back on their struggle in her flat.
“True, but not strong enough. I could still easily crush you like an ant” he flashed his green eyes at her warningly as he slid his hand down on her throat and squeezed it lightly “Never forget that, Jane Foster” he hissed then his expression softened, the delicate wrinkles around his eyes smoothing out. “But why would I do that if we could have some fun instead?” he asked watching as his hand let her throat go, letting her breathe normally again and slid it across her chest before leaving her body.
“I’d rather you kept yourself far away from me” she said trying to sound confident, but her quicker breaths gave her away, the tension in the room rising as she tried to calm down her body.
“Now why would you say that, little Midgardian? You are not going to ask me about what I meant by that or what my aims are?” he pretended to be shocked and offended, but Jane could see that he was pretty much entertained at the moment.
“Isn’t it obvious? You are trying to hurt Thor through me by using his feelings for me against him. Why don’t you kill me now and get over with it? That’s what you want, isn’t it?” she asked straightforward, not even blinking.
“You don’t fear death, Jane?” Loki asked back watching her reactions closely. “I could prove you wrong about that. At the end everyone wants to beg for their lives. No, little Jane, I have planned other ways to hurt him through you” he chuckled and twisted one of her brown locks around his pale finger.
“What kind of ways?” she looked at him swallowing hard. She knew well he was dangerous and much more powerful than her, but she was still willing to fight him and wipe that irritating grin off his face.
Loki leaned closer again and this time she could feel his hot breath puffing against her face as Jane could look into those shiny green eyes from close. “For starters? To get inside your pretty head” he whispered on her slightly trembling lips as he looked at her forehead for a second and pressed his fingertip against it just to draw a line from there down on her temple and jaw-line and stop at her chin. Jane couldn’t help it but her breathing sped up and her cheeks flushed once again from his closeness and touch. “How are your nights, Jane? Any hot dreams recently?”
“Get out of my mind, you narcissistic bastard!” she shouted in his face and pushed him away so he landed on his butt. Loki’s loud laughter just irritated her more and made her blood boil.
“Oh I don’t need any powers to know that I am already in there, little Midgardian. I’ve got under your skin, haven’t I?” he licked his dry lips and got up from the bed. “Don’t worry, I’ll make sure I’ll stay in there” he flashed a mischievous smirk at her and ducked when she suddenly reached out to the nightstand and threw a vase against him, which only made him laugh louder.
“Now that wasn’t very nice. I picked out a dress for you. Put it on” he waved to an armchair “I shall return soon, sweetheart. Feel yourself at home” he added and disappeared in the shadows.
Jane could feel that she was truly alone now. She took a few deep breaths as she slid on the edge of the bed. She tried to calm down and figure out what to do now. Loki’s words were spreading in her like a virus, leaving dark thoughts behind. Was it some of his tricks or the problem was with her? She carefully stood up and after the dizziness subsided she went to one of the tall windows and pulled the curtains apart just to be amazed and yet terrified by the sight. The castle-like building she was held in was on top of a hill and as the wind was blowing outside she could see that it was the land of mist and ice. She swallowed hard, because she saw countless guards and a hostile outside world that she knew nothing about. Jane was only sure that it was one of the nine realms and that their fear came true: Loki found a new ally to aid his plan. She didn’t know what awaited her, but she had to brace herself against it and hold on to her hope that yet again, Thor’d come and save her. A role that she started to hate from the depths of her heart.
