A Dance Through The Fire

“If you fail, if the Tesseract is kept from us, there will be no realm, no barren moon, no crevice, where he cannot find you! You think you know pain? He will make you long for something sweet as pain!” -The Other
When the Other uses the last dredges of the link in Loki's mind to summon him Loki has no illusions of forgiveness. He lasts about ten months before fleeing into the furthest reaches of his mind to escape the pain. For everyone else it appeared that he had escaped, slipped through Asgard's walls like the ghostly snake he is. He could come back at any time. For all they know he’s out there right now with an army, ready to strike. When he finally does come back, hurtling trough a portal, the Avenger's lives are turned upside down.
