Twisted in Ties (Loki x OC)

Chapter 11

"Good. Let's see what we got." As we started working to get the engine back online, I heard Izetta tune in.

"Hey, anybody hear me?"

"Jarvis, I told you to keep her grounded!" 

"My apologies, Sir. She seemed insistent." 

"Izetta, we need your help out here!" Rogers called in.

"No! We can handle it! Stay inside!" I told her. Come on, kid, please just listen to me!

"I'm helping whether you like it or not!" Damn it!

"Then come around and help us deal Banner! Thor is doing his best, but it doesn't seem to be working and I can't have him tearing up more of my ship!" Fury stated.

"Shit, he's gone green!?" 

"Extremely green!"

"I'm on my way!" My heart skipped a beat.

"No, no, no! No way is she getting anywhere near him!" I heard her frustration.

"I can handle myself, Stark, how about you focus on your shit and I focus on mine!?" She tuned out and I smacked the side of the engine in frustration. 

"Damn it, kid, you better know what you're doing!" I kept working on the engine, praying that she'd be alright. "I'm not losing you today, Tailwind."

Izetta's POV

*Meanwhile...*

I kept running until I made it to the main control room. "Jarvis, hostiles!" I ordered. He marked them and I growled. I charged, taking down the lead two. I then launched forward, clawing another right across the face. He screamed but I used my tail to knock him out.

"You're lucky I sparred your life, jackass!" I turned and I fired bullets at the arms of the other hostiles. More were still coming.

"Izetta! On your left!" Fury called. I turned and I dodged as a man fired at me. I got in close and started to fight him. He hit me with the butt end of his gun, smacking me hard in my jaw. I growled lowly, turning back to him. He looked nervous. I reared up, towering over him and roaring, furious.

"Oh SHI-!" 

I smashed my talons down, ripping apart his gear and tearing into his body. He screamed and fell still. I hissed and turned as more shots fired. I used my tail gun and fired at where they were coming from. I didn't take them all down, but I was able to hold them off and make them retreat or at least regroup. I looked around, double-checking to make sure all of them were down. Jarvis tuned in.

"All hostiles neutralized, Miss." I looked around, seeing people injured. I rushed around.

"Who needs immediate attention!?"

"Over here!" One man called. I hurried over, turning into my hybrid form. My crystal glowed brighter and so did my hands as I helped the man on the ground. "Magic?" His colleague asked.

"My best guess," I replied. He was left with only a big bruise when I finished.

"Thank you..." He panted. I nodded.

"Izetta! Rogers and Stark need you outside! We've got more hostiles!"

"Where's the nearest exit?" I asked with a grin. He just gave me a look and I took off, feeling good. I got this! I'll show you what I can do!

Once outside, I suddenly saw something get ejected. I was shocked. I quickly hurried there. "Jarvis! I need scans!" The information flooded in on my visor.

"It appears that Thor is in the capsule."

"What!? Shit, this is bad!" I contacted the others. "We got a problem! Thor is in the cage spinning through the sky and Loki is on the lose!"

"What!?" Fury shouted.

"We got other problems over here!" I heard Rogers tune in, gunshots in the background.

"I have to get him out of there!"

"Izetta! Fall back, it's too dangerous!" Tony said.

"You got any better lines?" I remarked and hurried forward. "Jarvis, get me a shot on the glass! If we can shatter it he'll be free!"

"The chamber is spinning too rapidly for a safe shot."

"Then risk it or else he'll be flatter than the pancakes I had for breakfast! Use the flares!" I shouted. My shoulder flares got ready and Jarvis fired the shot. I saw them hit all of the sides, shattering the glass. I saw Thor get flung out. I was about to help him when I suddenly got fired at. I shrieked.

"Jarvis!" I snapped, upset that he hadn't warned me.

"My scanners thought they were a friendly ship." I turned and saw that it was one of the same planes from the launch deck.

"Damn it! It's gotta be Loki!" They kept firing and I zipped around as they started to chase me. I called it in.

"Loki's on my ass in his personal pick-up! I'm getting ready to engage!"

"NO! Izetta, retreat! We need you here, now!" Tony ordered.

"If she can take him down, then so be it!" Fury countered.

"I'm already working on it, Sir-" I suddenly felt a bullet graze my wing. I let out a quick scream, gritting my teeth.

"Izetta!!" Tony sounded worried.

"Do you copy!?" Fury asked.

"Damn it!" I snapped. "My wing's hit!"

"Fall back!" Tony yelled, but it almost sounded like a plea. I frowned a little. I suddenly got hit again. My rockets were down.

"Shit!"

"What's happening!?" Fury demanded.

"I lost my rockets!"

"Then I am forced to agree! Stark's right, fall back now!" I growled in anger.

"I'm not helpless!" I was getting distracted.

"Izetta! Please!" Tony sounded somewhat scarred now and I felt a pang in my heart, but it went away as they started aiming for my head. I dove down, trying to shake them.

"I have to go before I get a bullet in the back of my head!" I snapped and hung up completely. Then, I got an idea. They kept firing and I quickly gave Jarvis the order.

"Jarvis, are my rockets functional at all!?"

"Only 10%, Miss Izetta." I nodded.

"Next question, are you good at acting, Jarvis?"

"I do hope you're not planning what I suspect you're planning."

"Make this look real and then get me on top of that jet! Give as much power as you can to the thrusters while switching to silent flight!"

"...As you wish." His scans helped me lean in and fake taking a hit. I screamed and fell, going limp. Jarvis took care of the rest.

"Miss, we're nine hundred feet off the ground and your speed is increasing fast. I suggest we abort." I said nothing keeping the act up. "Seven hundred feet until impact." I didn't move. "Five hundred." Come on, stop watching me! "Three hundred." I opened my eyes right at the moment they turned away.

"Now, Jarvis!" He turned on my rockets as I opened my wings and pulled up as hard as I could. I did a huge 360 and rushed after the jet. "Get me on top of that thing! We're catching a ride!"

"You're lucky that worked," Jarvis stated, but said no more as we hitched a ride and I held on tight. I allowed myself to take a breather for a moment, but I didn't let my guard fall completely. Gotta stay focused. I can do this. There's no way I'm letting him get away again.
