(NOT JUST A LOKI STORY - this story is about many marvel characters with Esther Mason and Loki Laufeyson as the main characters - and also includes a Steve Rogers romance side story with... well you'll have to see :))))

Once upon a time, there was...
Odd footsteps in fours inch towards us idly, searching for something.... perhaps its next target
"I'm always ready," I reply under my breath as I hold the gun with slightly shaky hands.
There's a small sound to the far right of us that lets me know there's not just one enemy out here. The snarling sound ahead of us gets a bit louder as the enemy stops... And I squint when I notice something... glowing. I look hard as I can see an orange glow, just barely...
I won't be able to fire if I can't see this thing... and as it nears us I remember there is a flashlight on my weapon. I gently reach for the button as I hear my heartbeat and the sound of my own breath only, Loki's being quiet and contained... but this thing takes one more step before I switch on my light and shine it on the ground frantically. I point it ahead just a few yards from us and it highlights what looks like huge tangled cords of silver, but then they move like a living animal.

And it lunges at me with a strange shrieking roar as its limbs and tentacles sprawl threateningly.
Not remembering that I have a gun in my hand, I stand there with eyes full of fear and I scream. But then I scramble to pull the trigger as bullets fly from my machine gun at the creature, lighting up the area with flashes of white as it leaps for me.
But I am yanked by Loki to the side in order to avoid its hit. It moves with scary lighting speed like an insect and jumps at me again. But spikes of ice flash from the ground and stab the thing, its blood of black spilling all over it as its light dies.
I hear more around us as I get back to my feet and one more lands just behind us.
