Chapter 105

"My love, she deserves that and so much more for harming you."

"Don't. Don't let her change you back to who you were. Don't let me lose you like that. Don't let her win and hurt me completely by losing you to that darkness."

Loki closed his eyes, and I felt his acceptance at my words. He opened his eyes, and he was my Loki again. He came over to me and Bucky handed me back, knowing Loki needed that physical contact with me.

"Take me to her Kokoro no Yokubo. I know it'll hurt like a bitch when you lift me but please. I want to see her face when she realizes what I'm going to do. Besides, the damage is already done. There is no reason to not move me. You'll have to move me anyway to get me out of here."

Loki nodded and his jaw clenched as he knew he was about to cause me even more pain. He slid his arm under my knees and made sure my shoulders were supported with his other arm. I whimpered as the slight movement of my legs hurt. He started to lift me as gently as he could. 

"Just do it. Going slow hurts more. Just stand and get it over with." I panted at him. 

I braced myself as he nodded and stood quickly, lifting me in his arms. I screamed in sheer pain, and he grimaced as he took as much of the pain as he could from me. I saw a small smile on Sharon's face before Thor's fist broke her other cheekbone and rearranging her face. 

"You think it amusing to see her in such pain?!"

Sharon spit the blood out of her mouth. "Yes. The bitch deserved it and more. Coming onto my territory and disrespecting me. Then fucking break my nose and my jaw!"

Before anyone could really react, Steve stood in front of her.

"You vicious BITCH! You absolute fucking bitch. I didn't know you were a fucking sadist that gets satisfaction from hurting people." He slapped her and with her broken face it hurt… a lot. He may not have been a God, but Super Soldiers still have a lot of strength and Steve didn't hold anything back.

"Language Capsicle." I chucked weakly against the pain.

Steve looked and me and I was shocked to see tears running down his face. He walked over to me in Loki's arms and gently moved my hair. He leaned in and kissed my forehead softly. 

"I am so so sorry. I never knew this could happen. I'd do anything to have been able to keep it from happening."

"I know Steve. It's ok. It's not your fault. It's no one's fault but mine. I should never have antagonized her. You told me she knew people in high places, and I ignored that. And I paid for it."

"God damnit Ariane! It's not your fault. It's HER fucking fault. She is a cruel bitch who never should have done this."

I gave a laugh and quickly stopped because it hurt. "I don't think I've ever heard you swear so much before, my Capsicle. I'll be ok eventually."

I looked at Loki and nodded. He carried me nearer to Sharon. Each step sent pain shooting through me. He stopped in front of her but refused to put me down. I looked at her and saw the hate in her eyes. 

I shook my head at her. "You're pathetic. I hope you know that. You started everything by being rude. And you just couldn't handle someone being rude back to you. You acted like a child pulling wings off a butterfly just to see it squirm. All this fuckery only cost me pain. That's all. Stupid bitch. Jokes on you. I already couldn't have kids, so you didn't take shit away from me. All you did was piss off some very dangerous and powerful people." 

I saw her snarl at me as she realized her plan to ruin my future with my men didn't work.

"But in the end, your actions cost you more. You lost any chance to get back in with the Avengers. But what you don't realize is it cost you even more than that. I stopped Loki from killing you for two reasons. One… I don't want him having that on his conscience even though he wouldn't feel bad about it, not even for one second. Two… I doubt anyone here will disagree that I get to decide your fate from here."

Everyone nodded. "It's absolutely your right, Kid. Anything you want. I know how to hide a body."

Sharon was starting to look worried. I think she'd expected someone to stand up for her. I figured she was banking on Steve and his morals to keep her safe.

"Here's what's going to happen. You love being the center of attention. So, I'm going to take that away. I know about the cell Tony had Loki in before. A nice Plexiglas cylinder with very little room. And no one will ever see you or speak to you again. Food and water will be automated. Not one person will miss you and you'll quickly be forgotten. You'll suffer knowing everyone else is living their lives while you wither and rot away in a cell, long forgotten about."

Sharon screamed in fury. 

"You got it, Kid. I can make all that happen. I've got some old buildings no one remembers. They can be modified and if she ever did get out of the cell, she'd never make it out of the building."

I nodded. "Works for me. Loki… I wanna go home." 

"Then home you shall go, my sweet."

I looked over my shoulder as Loki turned away. I mentally asked him to wait, and he paused. I looked at Sharon and everyone else.

"Oh, and Sharon? I'm not responsible for what condition you're in when you make it to that cell. You have a lot of pissed off people that want to… discuss that with you." I raised a hand waved my fingers at her, determined to do this no matter how much it hurt. "Toodles, bitch."

I looked at the group. "I don't know how many people Loki can take back. Are some of you ok with making your own way back?"

"Absolutely, Kid. You go home. Take Bruce with you and focus on getting all healed up."

I nodded and let my head fall on Loki's shoulder. He looked at Bucky, Thor, and Bruce.

"Ready?"

At their nods, he teleported us all to the med lab. He laid me on my table, and I screamed as my body straightened out. I was breathing fast. Bruce came and set the scanner over me. While it did its thing, I looked at my guys. They all still looked scared and devastated. They know some of the pain I went through, but it wasn't the full amount that came through. Loki stroked my hair.

"Why are you waiting, pet? Can you not fix this?"

"I don't know if I can do a 'fix everything' heal. I always knew exactly what I was fixing. So, I was waiting for Bruce to tell me what was wrong so I could fix it."

"You are incredible, my sweet Ariane. To go through that and still be so strong."

The scanner beeped, finishing its scan. Bruce went white as he saw the readout on the damage inside me. Loki, Bucky, and Thor all stiffened when they saw Bruce's face.

"Oh Ariane. The damage… I can't fix it."

"Tell me what all's wrong Doc."

He shook his head and just handed Loki the printout. Loki started to read and just dropped to his knees.

"By Odin…" He whispered as he looked at me. He handed the paper to Bucky and Thor. They both staggered and ended up on the floor, kneeling beside me. 

"Oh, my Angel. How…"

"Doll… it's bad."

"Show me."

He held the paper out to me. All my internal organs were damaged. My uterus was burned and torn. My vaginal walls were shredded from the size and rough edges of the prod. My kidneys and liver were damaged. There was damage to my heart. All on top of the bullet wound in my shoulder.

I nodded and handed the paper back. Now I knew what to focus on. I closed my eyes and concentrated. Bruce gasped as the burns on my skin disappeared as well as the wound in my shoulder. The pain in my stomach slowly went away. I felt my organs returning to how they were before I was taken. Minutes passed while I healed my body. There was so much damage. 

I was exhausted by the time I was done. "Lokes… can I sleep now. I'm all better but I'm so tired."

"Anything you want, my pet. Anything you want. Sleep. We will be here when you wake up. Nothing will happen to you. Sleep."

I nodded and was drifting off when I heard Bruce asking them what just happened. I guess the cat was out of the bag now.
