He Is Coming

A/n: Inspired by the amazing fan fiction, provided courtesy of Booknerd101: He Said Nothing.

Summary: Loki is back at S.H.I.E.L.D. after failing to conquer the earth. Loki is temporarily imprisoned. The avengers pay him a visit and soon discover that Loki is just the beginning of their troubles. "He is coming", the trickster whispered. Just my thoughts of where they might go with the next movie.

Disclaimer: Thor and Avengers are not mine… Right guys.

Tony: You couldn't afford me.

Thor: You are most correct God of Loneliness

Loki: Just shut up, and get on with the story. You mewling quim!

TheLonelyGod: Dude, not cool.

Loki's breath came in short enraged bursts as he forced himself to pace back and forth, back and forth, his feet creating a steady rhythm as he tried to calm himself. To anyone watching, with the exception of Thor, who knew him too well after all this time to be fooled, it would simply look as if he was enraged by his recent loss to the Avengers. That was not what kept his feet in motion. He could not sit still, not now. For he had failed. No, he should be running as fast and far away as he could. Not that it would do him any good; there was no place he could hide, no way to escape, but still he felt he had to do something. Just sitting here would not fix his mistakes. There would be no redemption. He would come and when he found him, he would burn him. Loki had put his life in his hands and now he was going to have to pay the price. The finality of it all finally slowed his steps, and a strange calm settled over him as he came to a stop.

He took a deep breath to collect himself; he had an audience after all, and it simply would not do to show them how shaken, how utterly helpless he really was. No, certainly not. He slowly made his way to the center of his small cage and smiled up at his… 'friends'. People who were no doubt discussing his fate, even now. Pointless really, as there was only one place they could send him and it most certainly was not located on Midgard.

With nothing left to do but wait for the end to come, he smiled. He was terrified, but if he smiles, then he can be calm; then he can pretend he isn't coming undone. So he smiles ready to put on a wondrous show for the heroes. After all it will be his last, so it will have to be sublime. That thought alone is all that stops him from relenting to the madness desperately trying to consume him . He schools his expression into one of stony indifference, and waits for the show to begin in earnest. Four hours, thirty-seven minutes, and fourteen seconds later he is rewarded for his patience. The Avenger strides around the corner, purpose behind each step as She walks up to the glass enclosure. He greeted her with a curious glance, and a serene smile. His eyes dance with the mischievous glee that has earned him his godly name. He slowly raised his gaze to meet the ex-assassin's steely eyes before inquiring, "To what do I owe this… pleasure?"

Her again, it did not really surprise him. Who better to send in to discover if the trickster still had any machinations left to spring. Alas, he did not; his fun had ceased the moment that Green beast had decided to *SMASH!* him. His only consolation was that soon their fun would end as well. Shame he would not be there to see it. The whole affair left a bitter taste in his mouth but he grudgingly dismissed it. He had to focus, because right now he had a guest to entertain, and Miss Romanoff looked like she meant business.

A/n: So what did you guys think? Sorry about the cliff hanger, but I am just a bad person (gets mobbed by Loki's fan girl army). But I *pant* will have the next *pant* chapter up soon! So fear not. See that button? Yeah the one that says review. You should click it…

Loki: click it now you mewling quim!

Loki! Bad god! Bad god! You apologize right now!

Loki: No. I will not be bullied by the likes of you!

But really review. :3
