The Wielder Of Ember

Playing The God Of Mischief Romanoff Style Chapter 4

Rory was cleaning her sword when Natasha appears

hey, am going to talk to Loki. you in -Natasha

why not -Rory says putting her sword away

the two then go off to his cell

when they got there Rory leaned against the wall and kept an eye on Loki

Natasha went to him

There are not many people who can sneak up on me -Loki

but you'd figured I'd come -Natasha

both of you actually -Loki says looking at Rory

how's the leg -Rory

Natasha smirks a little

after whatever tortures Fury can concoct. you would appear as a friend. as balm. and I would cooperate -Loki says avoiding the question

I wanna know what you've done to Agent Barton. we both do -Natasha says gesturing to Rory who nods in agreement

I'd say I've expanded his mind -Loki

and once you've won. once you're kind of the mountain. what happens to his mind? -Natasha

is this love Agent Romanoff -Loki

Love is for children. I owe him a debt. both me and my sister do -Natasha

tell me -Loki

Natasha pulls up a chair and Loki sits down across from him

Rory stays leaning against the wall

before we worked for S.H.I.E.L.D i... well we made names for ourselves. we have specific skill sets. we didn't care who we used it for or on. we got on S.H.I.E.L.D's radar in a bad way. Agent Barton was sent to kill me. kill us... he made a different call -Natasha

and what will you do if I vow to spare him -Loki

not let you out -Natasha

ah no. but I like this. your world in the balance and you bargain for one man -Loki

Regimes rise and fall every day. i tend to not weep over that. I'm Russian... or was -Natasha

we're still Russian that won't change we may change but where we come from never will -Rory

Natasha sends Rory a small smile and a nod before turning back to Loki

what is it you want? -Loki

it's really not that complicated. I've got red in my ledger. I'd like to wipe it out -Natasha

Ditto -Rory

Can you? can you wipe out that much red? Draykov's daughter? Sao Paulo? The Hospital Fire? Ronin? Barton told me everything. your ledgers are dripping. it's gushing red and you think saving one man no more virtuous than yourself will change anything? -Loki states angry and stands up knocking the chair back

Rory flinches a little when he mentions Ronin and wonders how he knows about that then it clicks Clint knows but doesn't care and accepts her a small smile forms on Rory's face that is until

this is the basest sentimentality. This is a child at prayer... PATHETIC! you lie and kill in the service of liars and killers. you pretend to be separate to have your own code something that makes up for the horrors but they are a part of you and they will never go away! -Loki

Loki slammed his hand at the glass wall separating the two making Natasha Flinch and Rory's hand flies to her sword

I won't touch Barton. Not until I make him kill you! Slowly. Intimately. in every day he knows you fear! both of you! and when he'll wake just long enough to see his good work, and when he screams, I'll split his skull! this is my bargain. you mewling quim! -Loki screamed like a mad man
