King Loki

Chapter 8

Chapter 8
When the attack had ended with many dead at his Spire's base and many more retreating, Loki had a moment to stand amused on his balcony looking at the carnage below.
'The fools.' He thought with a smirk and then rage bubbled up inside him. This was his usual form of emotions. Just like when he was King on Asgard, he was enraged that anyone would dare defy their king. The insult in Asgard worse still as it had been people he'd once called friends.
Here, these mortals meant little to him, but without them he'd be nothing. If only they'd stop fighting they could continue life as he envisioned it for them. There was no need for all this bloodshed and certainly no need once the Earth was completely his. Why couldn't they just conform and give up?
His irritation on the matter returned and reminded him of his losses as of late. These special people, these enhanced were a problem that needed to be dealt with. If Dr. Whitehall failed to provide him with people Loki himself could use to his advantage then he would see what Stark could provide. However, Loki always had a backup plan and if those two things failed he would resort to his backup and see where that takes him.
"Wine," Loki ordered his attendant. She looked deep in thought. Not frightened like he thought she would. She had a stomach for war and didn't lose her head, this was pleasing.
Startled, it seemed to take her a moment to gather her thoughts before rushing across the room to fill him a delicate glass, one of the few that hadn't fallen over and broken.
She returned handing it to him and he took it from her with a smile. "See the power of your king?" He asked her urging her forward outside. "No one is a match for me. No one will breach these walls and live. Count yourself lucky I hadn't decided to just execute you for having tried to sneak in here the day my guards caught you." He tilted his head to look at her more closely.
She had a stone look upon her features, concealing whatever it was she might be thinking. "Why were you trying to get in?" He finally asked releasing his grip upon her arm and allowing her to step back and away from him.
"Curiosity," she said, clearly a lie upon her lips. Her eyes flitting to the side unable to look his way. Loki snorted and turned from her.
"Fetch me the Captain, I'll have word with him as to the bodies outside." He waved a hand over his shoulder and listened as his attendant left his chambers.

Cephera's heart hammered in her chest. She'd thought for sure he knew she was a spy when he'd spoken to her. Even though she now knew he spoke in general, her heart still beat faster and made her breath quick and uneasy.
He didn't believe her lie, nor should he. She was not known to be a good liar. Still, he hadn't pressed the issue. She probably wasn't worth his time. Cephera paused part way down the hall and took a few deep breaths before continuing.
"The King wants to see the Captain," Cephera said to one of the Loyals. "Where is he?" She asked.
"He's probably still guarding the main hallway." The Loyal replied giving her a creepy once-over with his eyes.
She quickly hurried away from him and found Captain Steve Rogers where the Loyal said he'd be. "The King wishes to see you," Steve turned and looked at her with those blank eyes.
Cephera felt bad for this man. Loki's pet by brainwash. She could feel the hum of magic that wrapped its way into the Captain's system. As she walked along beside him, back toward Loki's room, she had the urge to see if she could drain that magic from Steve and release him.
She even reached her hand over a nudge before realizing now was not the time to try that. She'd be caught for sure and she had Tony and Pepper to think about. She couldn't do anything stupid or risky until she knew her friends were safe first.
She kept it in the back of her mind to use the captain someday. If she could release his mind maybe he'd help her in return. He knew this Spire better than anyone and he commanded the guards and Loyals, he could be an asset to Cephera, but not yet. Not right now.

"I want all bodies brought to Dr. Whitehall for examination and experimentation, remind him that he has work to be done for me." Loki ordered Steve. "The weaponry is to be brought to the armoury for reintegration. Any fallen vehicles or aircrafts bring to the back hanger for repairs. We will salvage anything these fools have left us." Loki hoped that among the wreckage was something or someone of use.
"Right away sir," Captain Steve saluted his King and left the room. There was silence after the Captain left and Loki decided how he should continue. All his usual duties were cancelled in loo of the attack, but he couldn't just sit idly by.
He stared at Cephera a moment. Easy on the eyes. She was short and slender. Her hair tightly pinned up and out of her way with only her bangs to fall free. He liked her eyes, violet. It was a very rare color seen in humans. Usually associate with albinism.
She shifted under his stare and Loki couldn't help but smile. He enjoyed the affect he had on people. "Bring me something to eat. All this use of magic has made me hungry." He didn't look away from her, he wanted to watch her squirm for a few more moments."And fetch someone to clean this room." He added to her retreating form.
He could have her clean it, but he liked to keep his attendants clean. After all, they came with him everywhere and, like himself, they needed to look presentable.

Notes

Super short chapter. Didn't want to miss one but plans came up today that makes it hard to finish this to its full length. Hope you guys enjoy the intrigue until Thursday.

I have returned indeed!
I'm liking this so far as well. Trying to create a new world in which Loki rules is not as easy as I thought, which makes it super fun. :)
