In his current condition he was surprised that heâd taken down the last remaining guard. He knew that most of it was thanks to adrenaline but he could also feel some of that strength starting to slip away. If he and Loki were going to get away Steve knew heâd have to ignore everything else and focus on finding their way out. A part of him wanted to know why theyâd captured not only himself but Loki, too. As far as he knew HYDRA was still trying to cleanse the world but from the shadows since they couldnât do it out in the open like before. The cosmic cube was safe on Asgard and the stone in Lokiâs sceptre was in Vision. So what did they have to gain for taking the two of them hostage? There was no way for either one of them to get the answers to those questions. The only thing he could focus on was getting out and then finding someone who could help them get the damn cuffs off of their wrists. He was certain neither one of them wanted to be stuck like this for any longer than absolutely necessary.
âMore are probably already on their way,â he agreed, stepping over the downed guards and looking to see which way might get them out. The guards had come from the left, or so he assumed, which meant left was probably their way to freedom. He knew theyâd end up having to face more guards though it was also possible that theyâd only left a small crew until the time came to do whatever it was they had planned on doing with them. Steve knew they couldnât risk finding more trouble than they could handle. Of course, he never expected Loki to suggest they stay together and looking at him he was certain the confusion was written all over his face. âThatâs a good idea. I feel like I should be asking what happened to the Loki I fought  since this one isnât like him at all.â Neither of them had time to debate semantics. He knew they needed to get out of the prison before reinforcements arrived. âTo the left and hope that no one is behind that damn door,â he suggested, taking another step before he realised that Loki would have to follow. The sooner they got out of the prison the better off theyâd both be.
Loki truly hoped Steve wouldnât be a hindrance to their escape, when Barton had given him all the information on the Avengers; heâd learnt that Steve had a high tolerance for pain, as well as the ability to heal from wounds quicker than others. It wasnât anything near to what Loki had in healing abilities; but it at least meant that Steve wasnât going to bleed out on him. If he did, it would cause them both a lot of problems, and Loki would loose whatever slither of respect he had for Steve. The wound wasnât that deep, and it wasnât a fatal wound, Loki had made sure of that. He felt rather proud of himself for holding back, when everything within him burned with a desire to kill the man. Loki would have to pat himself on the back after all of this was over, and after he did that, he could finish the job and actually kill Steve. Maybe if Loki was feeling super extra nice; he would heal Steveâs wound instead. He wasnât sure yet what heâd do, it would be a surprise for them both.
Taking a moment to search the guards pockets, Loki found one of the Midgardianâs primitive guns and offered it to Steve. Knowing Mr Goody Two Shoes, he would probably refuse to use it. But having a gun was better than having nothing, and Loki couldnât see anything nearby that Steve could use as a makeshift shield. âWe have to be smart about this, we canât just run around this base blindly.â He hoped Steve would make the smart choice and take the gun. They would probably be facing a lot more HYDRA agents whoâd be more heavily armed than the guards had been, and Loki was planning on leaving here without it being in a body bag. âYou know nothing about me Captain, so you have no base for judging my character.â He was a survivalist, unfortunately the only way to ensure his survival was working with Steve. Loki wasnât thrilled with the idea, but it wasnât like he had any other option; not whilst they were chained together. âI might not have my magic, but if we get to one of the terminals, I should be able to hack the system and get schematics of the place.â Loki had learnt a lot whilst heâd been on the run, the mortalâs computers hadnât been too difficult to learn; especially when they were just ancient versions of what the Aesir had. âLetâs see what we can find.â
