(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...
When I take a step back, that's our cue. He and I begin charging for our marked spot as hard as we can, passing our companions in mid battle as fire rains down around us. I remember where that bomb had hit, a metal "X" appearing in that spot before I teleport us through it. And that's when we leap off the building hand in hand, letting me zap us to the ground where we continue running.
This time I know we can make it. She ship is directly ahead.
I use all the power I can to cause explosion after explosion around us, sending pieces of these demons into the air, each step cracking the ground far in the distance where waves of them wait for us. I sprint harder with Loki at my side.
"Just ahead!" he says as I begin to see mimics there firing flames into the sky.
Everything happens fast. I reach the wave and fire a round of bullets at the first creature I see, distracting it from shooting more flames towards the ship.
It turns towards me, flashing its limbs at me with that snarling roar before it leaps for me.
I shoot my hands up to create a forcefield that the creature bounces against, its body smashing against the pressure and tumbling back against the ground before it springs up on all fours and roars at me with its mouth opened constantly, like a fire inside is waiting to blast forth. But I pick up my gun and aim, firing a string of bullets at its tangled body as it snarls and shrieks.
I cast out my hand to send an explosion from the earth to my left, destroying one running at me.
Loki is taking out mimics left and right where he's at. I watch him fling a throwing blade at a tremendous range, hitting its mark before the mimic can blast a flaming surprise from its mouth. He turns and finishes off four more with his gun, yanking out a grenade from his strap and biting off the plug, tossing it at the group of mimics at his right before finishing off one about to kill me on my left, the explosion sending pieces of grey tentacles into the fire behind him.
I conjure wildfire before us to consume any possible around the battlefield, sending others to their death by collapsing the ground in the distance, letting the earth swallow those beasts that try to stop us.
"Esther!" I hear Loki say and I gasp and take a step back when he saves me just in time, sticking his arm out to let that thing bite his bracer before he casts frost on its body and I shoot at the thing to kill it.
That's when I finally allow myself to take a breath.
My eyes go up to the aircraft that... is so far off and high in the clouds... I know it's safe. It's safe. We did it.
Loki looks to where I do and he heaves a sigh towards the ground when he realizes this.
We stand there on the battleground and let the next wave of mimics overtake us.
.
I find myself running through the halls towards the training room. And When I get there Loki is waiting for me as usual and I meet him halfway with a triumphant smile. "We did it!" I breathe. "We actually did it!"
"Congratulations," he sighs with relief.
"Man, this is awesome!" I exclaim.
