Chapter Seven

Loki didn't believe in playing fair. He'd given MacLeod a spear to fight with, but against the magician's power, it was of little use.

( As it began, there was only Loki, armed similarly. But that Loki was soon joined by a dozen doppelgängers, surrounding the Highlander on the metal platform, his weapon useless against them. But his foes had a bite, their spears slashing at the Immortal 'til his shirt was in shreds, drenched in blood. )

Thanks to ninjababe for letting me thrash out this part with her. It went somewhere I totally was not expecting - and neither were Methos and Duncan! And thank you to those that have been reading along. I appreciate each and every comment so much - thank you!

Chapter Six

The only reality was pain. It felt as if he'd been assaulted by a hundred quickenings—but with none of the calories. Methos fought the urge to curl up in a fetal position, not wanting to give his audience the satisfaction. ( Rolling onto his side, he opened his eyes, almost expecting to see the shade of Kronos in this very familiar room. If he were here, haunting the place, he must be feeling a great deal of satisfaction at Methos' current predicament. )

Chapter Five

( Methos leaned against the hood of his SUV, scanning the deserted old warehouse. Streaks of sunlight through broken windows were the only light that made it into the gloomy brick building. He could hear the scrapes and rustlings of rodents up in the beams, but it seemed that they were his only company. )

Chapter Four

( Methos practically ran to Fury's office when he was told that Thor had returned, eager to know if he had discovered anything on Asgard, despite believing that the nothing would come of his journey. But he was unable to wholly remove hope; he desperately wanted to be wrong. Pushing open the door, his heart fell; it only took one look at the faces of those assembled to tell him that the news was not good. It was clear that Coulson and Fury already knew what Thor had learned. )

Chapter Three

( Methos sat hunched in a chair next to their bed, where Charlotte lay, looking as if she'd been carved from marble. Blood red lips were the only colour, vivid against the pallor of her skin. The wound at her throat had finally healed, but she was still comatose, whatever Loki had done to her interfering with the normal healing ability of an Immortal. If he hadn't still been able to feel her Immortal presence around him, he would have thought she was dead. He heard footsteps coming down the hall, but didn't acknowledge whoever it was that had entered. )

I got one part done, should I carry on? Working hard to get the Loki voice just right.

Methos doesn't believe in fairy tales – or gods.

Chapter One

Once upon a time, on Earth, Immortals were at the top of the food chain. They may not have known what they were, or where they came from, but they were secure in the knowledge that they were unique and without peer. But there came a day that something happened to shatter that belief. For on that day, the Bifröst opened, bringing through it beings that, in Earth's mythic past, had been considered gods. For the Immortals of Midgard, when the gods returned, the universe, and their place in it, changed irrevocably.

SHIELD Base, somewhere in New Mexico

( Methos rubbed at the crick in his neck, exhaling tiredly. )
