No Good Deed Goes Unpunished (Loki Fanfiction)

Rescuing Loki

Without a second to lose she put her comlink on her ear –Tony! Can you hear me? Where's Loki? Is he still in his cell?-

-Leah! Are you all right? - Tony asked eagerly, he was very happy to hear her voice.

-Yes, kind of ... forget about that. Is Loki still in his cell?- Leah answered overwhelmed by the myriad thoughts his question aroused.

-What do you mean kind of? - Tony asked preoccupied.

-I'll be better once you answer my question.-Leah told him with impatience.

-Yes, he is. - Tony finally answered.

-Can you get him out? I know that's not what you agree on, but I think these are extraordinary circumstances ...- Leah started to say when Tony interrupted.

-Sorry baby, I can't. When the attack began the cell went automatically to lockdown. I can't open it remotely. - Tony told her troubled.

-No, Tony! We have to get him out before Doom finds him.-She told him anxiously.

-Why? Did Doom found out that Loki is changing teams?-Tony asked confused.

-No. He doesn't know.-Leah quickly answered.

-Then, what's the problem? I thought they were allies.- He asked bemused.

Leah sighed before reluctantly telling him. –Doom offered me a deal and I ... decline it. And now he's going to retaliate against Loki if he finds him.-

-A deal? What did he wanted?- Tony had the distinct feeling Leah was hiding something.

-Nothing I was willing to give.-Leah answered with impatience.

-Leah, don't be childish! What did Doom wanted? - Tony admonished her.

-I don't want to talk about it.-Leah angrily answered.

-But ...- Tony started to scold her again.

-We don't have time for this Tony! Are you going to help me or not? - Leah asked enraged.

-All right, this can wait.-Tony sighed, he wasn't going to get a straight answer from her at the moment.

-Thank you.-Leah almost whispered. –And Tony ... guys? Please promise me something, no matter what happens to me or Loki you won't allow Doom to get his claws on Eerika.-She begged them anxiously.

-Leah, you are scaring me.-Tony confessed.

-Promise me!-Leah demanded.

After a moment of silence Steve answered her plea –We promise.-

Leah let out the breath she'd been holding inadvertently as she thanked them, next she asked anxiously –You know where she is, right?-

-We have an idea.-Natasha volunteered.

-But you have a bigger problem now.-Tony interrupted to warn her. - Doom is heading your way.-

Leah's heart stopped for a second, had he found her? Or was he heading to Loki's cell? Either way they had to move fast. –Can I get pass him? - She asked Tony trying to sound calm.

-I'm already on my way.-Tony told her, he wanted to keep her away from harm's way.

-I'm not waiting here anymore Tony. Please tell me how to get pass him undetected.-Even if she said it slowly and calmly he could hear the despair in her voice.

Tony sighed loudly.-All right, you'll have to take the stairs, go right in the hallway and bend left on the second corridor, but hurry he's in the lift now.-
