Steve during #𝐑𝐄𝐈𝐆𝐍𝐎𝐅𝐋𝐎𝐊𝐈

"𝐄𝐍𝐎𝐔𝐆𝐇. 𝐅𝐀𝐋𝐋." Loki hit him again. And before the Soldier could come at her again....She delivered a decisive blow with a ball of debris she used to slam on top of the soldier, using telekinesis. Steve...was taken out of the fight. #𝐑𝐄𝐈𝐆𝐍𝐎𝐅𝐋𝐎𝐊𝐈

"You think hurting me will prove some kind of point? They're already beyond pissed." Steve tosses his mask on the ground, running toward Loki, hitting her with an uppercut that doesn't do much if anything at all. Only to be knocked down again. -

Steve spit out the blood in his mouth. Reaching for his comms device. "On my location Sue (@StellarAegis), Bring....everyone. I'll hold her as long as I can." He gets back up, to the Goddess's surprise and removes the mask that was barely on his face. -

"𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐄𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐫, 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐬. 𝐋𝐞𝐭 𝐡𝐢𝐦 𝐛𝐞 𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞." Loki used magic to project her voice across the city, displaying the gruesome scene for all to see on glass, screens and surfaces. #𝐑𝐄𝐈𝐆𝐍𝐎𝐅𝐋𝐎𝐊𝐈

"𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐚 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐥, 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧! 𝐃𝐢𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐲 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐄?" Another hit. This time, harder. Sending Cap back again. His entire body was shaking from this one. -

Cap finished his sentence just before Loki had hit him again, this time using her illusions to render herself invisible in order to land a devastating blow on the soldier. Steve was knocked into a nearby van's windshield. Rolling off of it and dodging a magic blast. -

"𝐈 𝐒𝐔𝐑𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐑 𝐓𝐎 𝐍𝐎 𝐎𝐍𝐄." Loki calls out, preparing to cut down another hero. A weaker one than the ones she's beaten so far, in all areas but one. Willpower. "That makes two of us." Cap got into a ready stance. -

"𝐁𝐄𝐆𝐎𝐍𝐄, 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐑𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐂." Steve would feel the force of Loki's sorcery push him back, causing him to tumble across the street like he was nothing. -

"End this now, Loki. No one else has to get hurt. You've got the power to reverse the damage you've caused." "You can be better. Thor is proof that despite how you were raised, you can still choose to be good." "Good....is hard. But it's worth it." -

"We aren't alone. Humanity is strong because when the going gets tough, we stand together." "You've hurt a lot of people Loki. That can't go unchecked." "But there are people who love you despite that. And I'm sure they'd hate to see you fall even further into this abyss." -

"I've lost it all before. I've been in that dark and lonely place." "So, I know how it feels. Loneliness." "To feel like no one in this world could possibly understand you. And I know now- that feeling is a lie. " "A lie greater than any you've ever told." -

"I don't know what caused you to feel this way about Humanity - about everyone. But you have to realize, if you continue, this ends with the same outcome I believe likely got you here today. Loneliness." "Look around you. You have power, but no one stands with you." -

"I didn't come here to fight you, Loki. Stand down." "I'm not here to fight. I'm here to talk to you." Steve kept his guard raised. It seemed the Goddess lowered her scepter to entertain a dialogue. He had to talk while he could. -

Steve patched in to Captain America (@SymbolOfTruths) "Sam. I hope you're getting this." "Ghost Rider just went down. Loki...is using some other means to boost her power. I've got eyes on her location." "I'm going to try and talk her down."

Hopefully @ImmortalOdinson would arrive in time to help him talk the Goddess down and stop this. Cap knew he couldn't win one on one. Stronger people like @ROARIINGENGINE had tried and failed. But those were just odds in his mind. His heart told him another thing. -
