Chapter 30

I could feel the anger radiating from Dean as he watched Loki kiss me. I looked over and his fists were clenched, and it looked like he was going to attack Loki any second. Sam and Cas just looked surprised at this turn of events. Tony stepped forward. 

"How did you get in here? This is a private party."

"I brought them in." Sharon had come up the stairs. She had a satisfied look on her face. "I ran into them outside and found out they were looking for that piece of trash you brought in. They explained why they were here, and I just knew I needed to help with this reunion. To have the ex and the two currents in the same room… now that's the makings of a party. Oh, that's right. Loki doesn't know yet, does he? How Bucky went into your room in the early morning hours and didn't come out until after dawn. I'm sure I heard some screaming coming from her room too." She gave me a smug look. 

I was livid! How dare she come and try to start shit. I was not about to have Loki thinking I was cheating. I turned to him and opened his door wide. He stared into my eyes as he read the nightmare, Bucky coming in and waking me. Him soothing me and keeping me calm and safe for the night, keeping my nightmares at bay. He gave a small smile. 

"I have no issues with that." 

There were several wide eyes behind me. I heard Steve whisper, "You bitch!" Even with all that was going on, that surprised me hearing Mr. Language himself curse.

I looked over at Bucky and his face was a cross of stunned by what Loki said and pissed off at Sharon. I looked back at Sharon and gave her an evil grin. Dean took a step back as he knew that look. 

"Hey, not so bright bitch! I told you before not to get on my bad side. And now you went and got on my dark holy fuck side. You went and messed with my family, and you tried to mess with my man. Do you remember what I said would happen?"

She only had a split second for panic to cross her face before my fist plowed into her nose. I felt a crunch and knew I had broken her nose. My second hit dislocated and broke her jaw. I felt a strong arm go around my waist and lift me away from Sharon. I knew it was Bucky as only the strength of his metal arm or a God could have moved me at that moment, and Loki and Thor weren't interested in stopping me. Everyone was frozen in shock at the violence of my attack. He let me go and stood by my side as I made no move to attack Sharon again.

I looked at Sharon as she stood with blood pouring down her face from her nose. I bared my teeth at her. "I told you that if you messed with my family again, I would break your face. Had you not messed with Loki and Bucky, it would only have been your nose. But since you want to talk shit and stir up trouble… well… have fun talking shit with your jaw wired shut. I hear they can blend all kinds of food to go through a straw nowadays."

"Very well done my darling." I heard the pride in Loki's voice. 

"You stupid bitch!" Sharon yelled. Suddenly she pulled a gun from her jacket pocket and fired it at me. Bucky stepped in front of me and luckily with the angle he was at, the bullet ricocheted off his metal arm and shattered a window. I would have killed her had it hit him anywhere else.

Loki turned to me to make sure I was alright. Steve rushed forward to Sharon and twisted the gun from her hand. He gave it to Nat who had followed him.

"What the hell are you doing? Are you crazy?" Steve looked furious.

She just glared at Steve. "The little whore deserves to die. Look at what she did to my face." She grimaced as she talked. I knew from experience that it was painful to talk with a broken jaw. 

Steve just looked at her. "You deserved it and so much more. You are a completely despicable person. I have no idea why I even liked you."

Tony walked up to her, and I could see he was pissed. "What the hell were you thinking, coming here and stirring up trouble? You come here and are stupid enough to threaten one of our own? Look at what you did to my window! What the fuck is your problem? You know what… fuck that and fuck you. You are not welcome here again. F.R.I.D.A.Y change the door passcode and notify security to escort Ms. Carter from the premises. I will be billing you for the replacement window. Now get the fuck out before I change my mind and your exit is through a window instead of a door."

"Yes, Mr. Stark. Changing passcode to front door and notifying security now."

I had never seen Tony so mad before. I watched as two security guards came from somewhere and grabbed Sharon by the arms and started forcibly walking her to the front door. She gave me a poisonous look over her shoulder as they pulled her through the door.

"You are going to pay for this you fucking bitch."

I rolled my eyes. "Yeah, whatever you dumbfuck twatwaffle. Toodles."

That was one problem gone. Now for the other asshole in the room. I turned and looked at Dean, Sam, and Cas. Sam and Cas looked confused and a little uncomfortable with being here in the first place. Dean was staring at me, a look in his eyes I had never seen before. It was one of possession and obsession, like he just had to own me no matter what. It worried me. He stepped forward and looked at Loki.

"So, you're Loki. That woman told me about you being with Ariane." 

Loki looked at him with a mild expression. I could feel it was just a mask to hide the anger that was coursing through him. I glanced at Thor, and he was watching his brother carefully. He knew that look too and was watching to see if Loki needed help, not to hold him back as he usually does. Strange how even Thor wanted to unleash Loki on Dean.

"And I will assume you are Dean Winchester." He looked at the two men who stood behind Dean. "And that would make you?"

Sam spoke and raised his hand in a gesture to say hi. "Sam Winchester, uh, Dean's brother. This is Cas." Cas nodded at them but didn't say anything. His face was unreadable. I wasn't sure if Cas's angel powers worked here but I didn't want to find out.

I looked at Sam. "Give them all the details. They deserve to know." I looked at my team. "Cas is short for Castiel, an Archangel of Heaven. Yes, I said angel."

Nat looked at me. "I thought angels had wings?"

Cas grinned at what was an old joke and I laughed. "They do. But their true form is too much for a mere mortal to see and live. So, they take on a human form so we don't burn our eyes out."

Nat looked a little shaken. "Yeah, thanks for that. I like my eyes just as they are."

"You are welcome. It was not my intention to cause trouble this night." His gravelly voice that was not what you would expect an angel to sound like. I saw Nat shiver. I understood. Cas's voice was definitely AMSR worthy.

Wanda whispered-not-whispered to me. "So, who is the tall cute one again?

"That's Sam. He's Dean's younger brother and the better of the two. He's the nice one." I saw Sam blush a little. He was so easy to embarrass and it was kinda cute. 

"Ahh. Gotcha."

Dean looked at me briefly frowning and then back at Loki. "I hate to ruin this little girl's moment going on there, but you need to stay away from Ariane."

Loki pursed his lips. "Ohh. And you think that I would stay away from her just because you said to?"

Irritation went across Dean's face. He wasn't used to people questioning him. "And why wouldn't you?"

Loki looked at me, took my hand and threaded his fingers with mine. He looked back at Dean. "Because she belongs to me now. And it is you that needs to stay away from her. You would do better to return to your world."

Dean glared at Loki. "I didn't realize you wanted to die so soon."

Thor took a step forward, but Loki held up his hand to stop him. I felt the tension from everyone as this was starting to escalate. Everyone wanted to hurt Dean at this point. Bucky was still partially standing in front of me, and I saw the tension in his shoulders. 

"Do you really think you can kill me?"

Dean stared at him. "If you don't stay away from her, I will kill you with my bare hands."

Loki just gave him a shit-eating grin. As a God there wasn't much Dean could do to him. I heard Sam say Dean's name quietly. I stepped around Bucky and stepped towards Dean. I had had enough. Dean didn't notice me move closer, but I knew Loki had. His grin widened as he read my intention. Swiftly I sucker-punched Dean in the jaw. I wasn't trying to break it, just make it hurt so I pulled my punch a little. He staggered and stared at me in shock. I had never hit him before and I knew I had a good right hook, so I knew it hurt. He massaged his jaw and glared at me.

"What the hell was that for?"

I was close to losing control. "First off, how fucking dare you?! How dare you come here, ruin my birthday, start shit with my family, and then you fucking DARE to threaten the man I love?! After all the shit you pulled? And you don't even have a ghost of a chance of taking me back with you. You lost any hope of that when you kicked me out while I was wounded. You knew I was wounded, and you did it anyway. You sent me out to die you bastard. Fuck you, Dean. You're lucky that's all I did, you narcissistic asshole!" 

"Get 'im girl" I heard Nat say quietly behind me.

"Second, you have absolutely no idea who you're messing with and who you're threatening. He is a mother fucking GOD you dumbass. You can't kill him. He would wipe the floor with you and not even break a sweat. I almost want to let him give you everything you deserve, but I won't for Sam's sake. Fuck knows what he would do to bring you back, if you even can be brought back in this realm. And I don't want him hurt because he doesn't deserve it. Which is also why my family here is letting me handle this instead of tearing you to shreds for all your bullshit."

"Stop dragging Sam and Castiel with you to clean up YOUR fucking mess because this has nothing to do with them. This is me and you. Now get the fuck out of my home. Go back to where you fucking came from. Stay the fuck away from me and thanks for ruining my birthday asshat." I turned to leave then glanced at Steve. "And don't you dare 'Language' me Capsicle."

Steve grinned. "Wouldn't dream of it beautiful."

I stalked back to my bedroom and slammed the door hard enough that I'm sure it was heard all the way back in the party room. I stood there shaking with rage and then let out a shriek of frustration and threw myself across my bed. How had such a wonderful night turned into such a nightmare? I laid my head on my arms and let the tears of rage and disappointment fall. I had looked forward to this party so much and it became a disaster.
