Part 6

“Creating chaos just to prove we're alive
Demolition of a delicate kind…”

(State of Seduction)
 

Hel was watching the intruders through the three eyes of a crow that was circling high above the small group of warriors. It’d have been so easy to send her troops on them and entertain herself. Being the one who collects souls of the sick and dishonored in the nine realms could get boring after a while. She sometimes sought out a good fight or stirred up things like her father usually did. She could just as easily kill Odinson and his friends only to revive them, but she knew that would go against her father’s wishes. And when someone disobeyed her father, they had to pay the prize. Although Hel was a powerful and cruel woman, goddess of Niflheim, she too feared Loki’s anger that seemed to lack any limits.

But yet again, she was his father’s daughter and some mischief and entertainment wouldn’t hurt. Of course just to make sure that the rescue team was kept on alert and clear with the fact that they were noticed and being watched. The crow gave out a sound that was like hoarse laughing. The possessed animal dove under the mist, but its green glowing eyes made it easy for her to see perfectly in the thick fog. Hel made the bird croak when she reached the mouth of an icy cage. As the order echoed into the mountain, screech-like roars answered and the ground started to shake. The bird took to the air and flew to a frozen pine tree, landing on a snowy branch to watch the entertainment she longed for, knowing that this would buy some more time for her father to achieve his goals, even if only Loki understood those fully.

“We are being watched” Sif whispered looking around in the mist that limited their sight in the valley they had to cross and pass two high mountains on each side. It was the easiest way through. There was a frozen river on their left and a wall of icy rocks on the right. The air was nearly painfully cold to breathe in, but they all avoided thinking about such discomforts, their senses on alert.

“For a while now, yes” Fandral nodded in agreement, glimpsing behind them as they moved forward carefully, only the sounds of crushing ice and rocks under their feet could be heard in the deadly silence.

“The cowards are hiding like in Jötunheim. Let them come whenever they decide to show their faces” Thor snorted on his raspy voice.

His friends exchanged a look then followed their leader in silence. Soon the valley narrowed, bringing the natural stone walls closer to them. They had to step on the ice of the river to pass safely between the falling rocks and ice. They only took a few careful steps when they heard the screeching and cracking noises accompanied by some deep rumbling.

Thor narrowed his blue eyes, trying to see what lay ahead of them, but the mist was too much in the way. He was able to dodge a sharp piece of ice that came out of nowhere but obviously with a killing intent. His experienced friends reached for their weapons and dodged the attacks too. The ice-daggers suddenly stopped and then there was silence again, only their panting breaking it as they waited for another assault.

Then came a screeching roar and a huge creature of ice emerged from the mist with sharp ice-fingers and vacant holes as its eyes and open mouth. It lounged faster at Thor than it was expected. It let its ice-claws suddenly grow longer to pierce them through the demigod, but he was faster with Mjölnir and smashed the hand, making the creature screech painfully loud, but it came at him again, growing out its hand. Thor made sure to hit it with his magical hammer under the chin to smash it into pieces. The ice-creature shattered as it landed on the ice underneath them and disappeared from sight. But it wasn’t alone. As Thor forced his eyes to see he saw and heard his friends fighting with the huge frost creatures too.

“Thor, we cannot see much. Some help would be appreciated!” he heard Volstagg’s voice and the blond man already knew what to do. He raised his hammer over his head and started swirling it in a circle as he collected its power to make a smaller tornado, the swirling air around them taking the mist with it and soon clearing out the whole valley, just to reveal to them that the surface of the frozen river was full of the same enemy.

“This will be fun…” Fandral chimed in as he destroyed his attacker too and watched as Thor let Mjölnir collect some lightning to strike several of their enemies in the chest, making them explode.

“And there goes our cover…” Sif mumbled under her nose with irony in her voice, but they didn’t have much time to agree with her as another wave of attack came from the huge frost creatures.

Hel watched the unfolding fight through the crow’s glowing eyes, feeling amused. She felt nothing seeing her soldiers fall one after the other, but laughed when they started to reassemble themselves around the fighting warriors. They could do that countless times so there was no use in what they were doing. But she knew it’d slow and tire them, which was exactly her purpose. She longed to fight them too, but she knew that she’d have a chance for that later when she let them reach under the castle as her father wished. Until that she was sizing up their fighting techniques and was already planning on how to play with them next.

“A sudden spark ignites

A sea of diamonds
And from the dark a light

Breaks the silence
We made a tear in time

With love like lions
A simple spark
Ignites

In this time
In this moment
We could crash together
I come alive
In slow motion
Make it lost forever
I come alive

Release…”

(Feel like falling)
 

Jane heard the distant thunder while still in Loki’s long arms which were wrapped around her tightly, pressing her shaking body against his as the heated kiss slowed down, leaving her breathless and flushed. She could see in Loki’s emerald eyes that he knew he’d won. This picked her anger for a second, but she suppressed it since she was still under his spell.

“What should I do?” Jane asked on a shaky voice as she kept the eye-contact. She felt like being hypnotized by a dangerous snake and she… liked it. By now she liked the lurking danger behind the lines of Loki’s pale face. He pulled back a little and let her go with one hand, keeping the other on the small of her back. He lifted his free hand and made a golden apple appear between the long fingers from thin air.

“You only have to eat from this special apple. Its magic will do the rest” he murmured surprisingly gently.

Jane glimpsed up at him then she reached out for the fruit, hesitating only for a second before taking it from him. It felt much heavier than an average apple. “What is this?” she wanted to know while examining it from close.

“One of Iðunn’s apples I kept to myself after a brief encounter with her” he chuckled looking down at the woman, who still looked confused “And here I thought you’d dip into the human stories of northern mythology to get more information about us…” Loki shook his head with a lopsided grin, which earned him a punch in the arm and a dark look from Jane. It only made him laugh then he shrugged “It’s a piece of special food for the Asgardians, allowing them to prolong their lives. The source of their immortality, if you like. Once you had your fill from the apples, you don’t really have to eat more from them to live long. We had our fill of them in our youth with my brother…” he let his eyes wander to the apple as he got lost in his thoughts for a second, but quickly pulled himself together and met Jane’s curious brown eyes.

“What will it do to me?”

“Change you, of course” he smiled and ran the back of his hand down on her still flushed face, thinking that the color suited her, but he banished the thought nearly right away. “Your humanity. Replacing it with power. To be honest it’s a quite tasty fruit. Come” he said and took her free hand to pull her to the bed where they sat down on its edge.

Jane was staring at the golden apple of immortality in her hand for a long minute and to her surprise Loki didn’t push her just sat there in silence, keeping those intense eyes on her. She could feel it. This was it. Now or never. She took a deep breath to calm her crazy heartbeats then she lifted the fruit to her lips and bit in it. It was slightly harder to do so than with a normal apple, but its taste was much more delicious. It was nearly too sweet as its juice spread on her tongue and she started chewing on the bite. She felt a warmth spread in her once she swallowed it and when she looked at Loki questioningly he just nodded to eat more. It was nothing like anything else she’d eaten before. She was only at the half of the apple when she already felt herself full in the meaning that she knew she’d be able to feel perfectly sated even if she didn’t eat for days from now. She stared at the glowing apple and realized that it was glowing because of her own hand. She felt the magic spread in her more and she gasped for air as it made her eye-sight blurry. She closed them and felt the fruit slipping out from her fingers, rolling further away on the cold stone floor. She was prepared for excruciating pain, but nothing like that happened.

She opened her eyes and lifted her hands in front of her, staring at them as they glowed in a golden light. It quickly faded away, leaving strength, vitality and youth behind as it slowed down time for her cells. She let the warm feeling spread inside her with closed eyes and she couldn’t stop herself from giggling. It was nearly as if she got drunk or high on the apple’s magic. She threw herself back on the bed and stared at the ceiling, still giggling as the warmth spread fully in her body, carried by her strongly beating heart.

Loki watched her with a smile on his pale face. He remembered how similar he felt when he used to eat these fruits. Not everyone could get as much as his royal family, but as teens it was one of their favorite mischiefs to stole such apples with Thor and eat them together and then…

“How are you feeling?” he leaned over Jane, examining her.

“Amazing! So… happy and strong… and high!” she giggled and reached up to pull Loki down to her, kissing his lips not caring about the consequences at that moment. She was still too dare-devil not to exploit the moment.

He didn’t resist though as he chuckled shortly into her kiss that was so similar to his brother’s when under the influence of the apples their teenage selves did unspeakable, but pleasurable things to each other. Just like he was about to do to Jane now. He lay on top of her and deepened the kiss, feeling how she was shaking underneath him and how warmer she got for now. Breaking the kiss he leaned to her ear and whispered something into it, which made Jane moan and nod.

“Yes… I want you too…” she faltered out, feeling like someone who’d see clear for the first time. Someone who just awoke from a long and hazy dream. For the first time she saw Loki without being blinded by her hate for him. Now she saw everything when she looked into the glowing green eyes. It was similar to when the Aether showed her things, but while back then she saw the darkness in Thor’s younger brother, now she saw the light too. And his hidden desire for her. She didn’t know what to say, so instead she kissed him hard, wanting to ease his loneliness, to warm up his cold body as she started undressing him, but her shaking fingers got lost in the countless straps of his armor so he helped. She sat up and opened the borrowed warm clothes too, not letting Loki’s eyes go. Maybe it was the effect of the apple but to Jane now Loki looked open enough to let her see that lust and need in him to belong.

She soon found herself lying naked under his cooler body – skin on skin, breath on breath. Jane got turned on so badly that her opened thighs started shaking as Loki greedily sucked and kissed on her bare breasts, making her cry out with joy and heated longing – especially when his long fingers found her sensitive spot between her legs to rub it. She’d have never thought that once she’d beg to Loki for more. He blew all of her resistance away and she also suppressed the prick of guilt in her when Thor came into her mind for a split second. Now her heightened senses were focused on the younger brother and that cunning silver tongue that darted out to taste her sweet juices with a moan. She found herself fisting a hand in Loki’s long hair as he worked on her, making the room spin. Her other hand traced the thin scar on his side that her knife caused then her hungry body welcomed the long hardness with a loud moan.

Jane slid her hand on the lean man’s nape and pulled him down for another passionate kiss, feeling their hips meet as she bucked hers towards him to give shelter to him in her own body, making them both moan into the kiss. They moved in perfect harmony, taking and giving what the other needed. This somewhere surprised Jane, she thought he’d be more selfish, but as she looked deep into Loki’s eyes, she saw that he wanted to please her just as much as she did. In the back of her mind this confused her, but at the moment everything felt perfect and right, as if it was bound to happen sooner or later. Nearing their release she panted on Loki’s lips and put her long legs tighter around him, the sounds that their mating bodies made exciting her more. But at that moment she was lost in the depths of his eyes. She could nearly feel how desperately he needed the affection, the stolen love she was giving to him. She could see the countless lonely nights, the misunderstandings, how hard it was for him to open up even to Thor and without pitying him… she just understood everything about him in the moment their bodies arched and reached that overwhelming point from where they both spiraled down into the blinding light, holding onto each other as if only the other could save them.
