chapter twenty-five.

After breaking them out of their cell, Thor handed Evelyn a gleaming sword, a weapon to be wielded against the Asgardian guards. As the three prepared for their escape, Thor reviewed the plan again to ensure they were ready for what lay ahead.

"This is so unlike you, brother. So clandestine. Are you sure you wouldn't rather just punch your way out?" Loki teased Thor.

"If you keep speaking, I just might," Thor said.

"Fine. As you wish. I'm not even here." Using his diversion tactics, Loki turned himself into an Asgardian guard. "Is this better? Still, we could be less conspicuous." Loki turned back into himself but turned Thor into Sif. "Hm, brother. You look ravishing."

Thor looked down at his body and then replied in his voice. "It will hurt no less when I kill you in this form."

"Perhaps you prefer one of your new companions, given you seem to like them so much." Loki then turned himself into Steve Rogers in his full Captain America uniform. "Oh, this is much better. Woah. Costume's a bit much, it's so tight. But the confidence, I can feel the righteousness surging." Loki turned around and started walking backwards. "Hey, I'm with you, aren't I?" He asked Evelyn. "Do you wanna have a rousing discussion about truth, honour, patriotism? God bless Ameri—" Thor suddenly grabbed hold of Loki and placed his hand over his mouth. He pushed him against the wall, making Loki turn back into himself.

"What?" Thor looked to the side and watched as two Asgardian guards walked away. "You can at least furnish me with a weapon. My dagger, something!" Thor looked at him and got something out of his robes. "At last. A little common sense." Loki then looked down and held up his hands, which now had iron handcuffs.

Evelyn laughed at the look on Loki's face. "I thought you liked tricks," Thor laughed and then walked off.

"That was pretty clever," Evelyn said, walking beside Loki as they followed Thor.

"That's probably the first time he has tricked me in my existence," Loki told her.

Thor noticed Jane and Sif heading their way, so they quickened their pace to meet them halfway. Jane then pointed at Loki. "You're...?"

"Loki. You may have—" Loki was cut off by Jane punching him in the face.

"That was for New York," she told him with a huff.

Loki grinned down at her, then looked at Thor. "I like her."

"Sif," Evelyn smiled in greeting. The two of them had met each other when she and her team went down to earth to retrieve Thor.

"I hope Loki hasn't been annoying you too much," she said teasingly at Loki.

Evelyn patted Loki on his back. "Not one bit."

The guards began to approach them, their running echoing down the corridor. "I'll hold them off," Sif told Thor. "Take her."

"Thank you," Thor said.

They turned to leave when Sif held her sword up to Loki's neck. "Betray them, and I'll kill you," she said.

Loki chuckled. "It's good to see you, too, Sif." She let him go, and Evelyn took Loki to where Thor and Jane were headed.

"You don't have that many friends, do you?" Evelyn asked, and he shrugged.

"That must be why people here are so afraid of you, because of me," he told her.

Evelyn nodded in agreement. "That's alright, it's not like I'm going to come back," she said.

Thor, Loki, Jane and Evelyn met with Volstagg where Malekith's ship had crashed into the palace. "I will give you as much time as I can," Volstagg said.
