【Hammer Base】Until the Abyss

Loki looked at everything in front of him in horror, until there was a sound of falling into the water that was almost covered by the waves, and he regained his senses for a moment. He stared in disbelief at the short and fat man holding a gun not far away.

—Dr. Walker.

No, this person cannot be Dr. Walker.

Although he was still the same person just now, the cowardly doctor who suffers from asthma would not have such excellent shooting skills, let alone hold the gun calmly after Thor fell into the water.The blue smoke from the gun hurt Loki's eyes, if it wasn't for Thor just now, the shot would have pierced his heart.

"Well," the doctor frowned, but his expression was no longer timid. "Should you jump off by yourself, or should I give you another shot, Laufeyson?"

As he spoke, he walked towards the small boat by the reef, pointing his black muzzle at the agent.

Loki's heart was beating violently.

Should I go to the sea to rescue Thor, or stop the assault boat?The assault boat was the only tool for leaving. Once lost, even if he managed to get ashore alive, he would be trapped to death on this cliff by the pursuers who came later.And Thor has fallen into the water, if you give up on him, turn to a desperate fight with the doctor...

Without even thinking about it, he turned and jumped into the icy sea water.

No choice matters when it comes to Thor's life.

The icy sea soaked Loki's body, and his mind was buzzing, flashing back to the scene where Thor was knocked off the rock by Dr. Walker.

Just a few minutes ago -

Thor pulled the assault boat from behind the reef, he was in a good mood, this was the last hurdle of their escape, and if he could get on the boat smoothly, he even wanted to discuss the future with the awkward Omega.It's just that what he didn't expect was that what he saw at a glance was Dr. Walker's gun pointing at the back of Loki's heart.

The agent, whose reflexes were weakened by the injury, didn't notice.

"careful!"

Alpha roared, and the brief moments seemed to be stretched into a century.

Dr. Walker's pupils constricted suddenly, and the muzzle of the gun turned slightly while Thor pushed Loki's shoulder away, and the swirling bullets were used to prioritize the threats who found clues! Loki's horrified expression was reflected in Thor's pupils, but before he had time to hold the agent's outstretched hand, he was swept back off the rock by the huge impact.

The agent opened his eyes wide, trying to search for Alpha in the churning water.

The idiot didn't know if he was still alive, his heart was pounding, the whirlpool, the waves crashing against the rocks and the freezing water, everything could kill Thor.

No, no.

The sea water made Loki tremble, and the knife wound cut by the JNSA agent was even more painful from the sea water, but he couldn't stop.

Loki held his breath, kicked on the rock and jumped out like a mermaid, avoiding the vortex colliding between the reefs, resisting the burden of the water pressure on his body and continuing to dive.Finally, before the lung lobes burst, he spotted Thor's sinking figure.

The bullet hole on Alpha's waist was gurgling blood, which was washed into an ominous light red by the sea water.

"Well--!"

Loki has never swam so fast before.He used the swimming skills honed at JNSA to the extreme, brushed away the seaweed that interfered with his vision, and didn't care about how much burden going against the current would bring to his injured body, all he wanted to do was catch Alpha.

Don't die, don't die.

There was only one thought left in his head.

No Odinson, no JNSA, Dr. Walker, and no Thanos and the so-called feud. The moment Thor fell off the rock, the loud roar in his head told him that nothing was more important than Thor's life.

It's hard for Loki to describe that feeling, now is not the time to care.

He clung to the rocks on the bottom of the sea, letting the sharp barnacles pierce his fingers.He did everything he could to catch Thor before he sank into the deeper abyss.

Taking people up in raging waves is far more difficult than imagined.

Thor was injured and couldn't swim on his own, and he was breathless when he fell into the water. Loki hugged his waist and swung his legs vigorously. Alpha's weight and annoying vortex made it difficult for him to move forward. The oxygen in the lung lobes was consumed little by little. .

No, no matter what, you can't die here.

Perhaps because of the explosion of the will to survive that he had never had since the age of 16, he finally climbed onto a rock.

"Cough! Cough cough..."

Loki jumped out of the water with Alpha in his arms.The black hair stuck to his pale cheeks, and his hands were cut bloody by the jagged gravel. He didn't care about these, but turned his head to check Thor's condition.

Worse things happened, just above the edge of the cliff, the prison guards led the police dogs to search. Loki noticed the dark shadows watching over the cliff, and heard the hoarse barking of police dogs.

Can't get on the reef, you'll be seen.

He hugged Thor tightly, his legs slipping along the slippery rocks near the shore.He's going to find the place where Thor hid the Zodiac in the first place, there must be a cave out of the wind and waves.Fortunately, the guess was correct, and under the cover of stones and shadows, Loki dragged Alpha all the way into the cave at the bottom of the cliff.

The waves beat violently against the rocks.

Thanks to the steep cliff and the huge waves two to three meters high, the prison guards did not venture off the cliff, preferring that the three prisoners had already escaped by boat.

The noise on the cliff stopped after a few minutes.

But Loki didn't dare to rest for a few seconds.

Just as the prison guards were searching, he slapped Thor's back with his hands and forced the man to spit out all the seawater stuck in his lung lobes.But the really fatal wound was the gunshot wound on the waist and abdomen. The shirt, which was diluted pink by the sea water, was soon re-stained red by the stained blood, and the blood seemed to be lingering on Loki's nerves.

It hurt far more than hurting himself.

"Thor! Thor Odinson!" he called hoarsely.

He must let this fool maintain his will, only in this way can he survive.He doesn't want Thor to die, that thought has never been clearer.That was the person he jumped off and worked so hard to save. How could Thor Odinson be beaten to death on the reef on the border of West Timor by a fake doctor?

This way of dying is too ridiculous.

The agent tore off the clothes on his body and tore them into bandages, picked up Alpha and wrapped him up.Probably the pain caused by the pressure made Thor choke, and red blood froth appeared on the corner of Alpha's lips.

"Thor!"

Xu Shi heard the call, Thor opened his eyes in a daze, the originally clear blue eyes were out of focus.

Fear nearly bursts Loki's chest.The agent's green eyes misted at some point, and he yelled again, no longer feeling that Odinson was an unspoken last name.

Thor just stares at him in a daze.

The agent used the folded cloth to press the wound on Alpha's waist. Fortunately or unfortunately, it was a penetrating wound.The warhead did not shatter in the body, but the blood loss was exceptionally fast.

But he will let them all live.

Loki patted Thor's cheek, forcing the man to concentrate: "Odinson!" He wrapped another tight bandage around Thor's abdomen, "Look, this is the JNSA medical knot, I will teach you now , this is the sign we use to identify wounded comrades on the battlefield. I still have a lot to tell you, so don't die so easily!"

"Lo...ki..."

"Don't die!"

The police helicopter rumbled overhead, and the golden sun gradually sank below the surface of the sea.

As darkness descended on the cave, the agent suddenly thought: If only he hadn't refused Thor's previous kiss.

**

The full moon was in the sky, and the tidal waves continued to beat against the reef.

The dark-haired agent lay on a rock, falling into an extremely restless sleep.

In fact, he was not seriously injured. When he was dealing with JNSA agents in the car, he was cut with four or five deep wounds by the other party.A wave splashed the water, and Loki woke up shivering with icy water splashing on his face.

"Thor!"

He stood up suddenly, his heart pounding.The nerves involved the brain, and even half of the body was throbbing with pain. Loki bit the tip of his tongue and forcibly regained his clarity, looking around the cave, Thor wasn't here.He panicked all of a sudden, but before he got up to look for someone, a shaky figure appeared at the entrance of the cave.

The moonlight fell on the man's shoulders, reflecting the wet clothes on the man's body in a different kind of cold white, but he still carried that kind of warm power that made people feel at ease.

"you're awake!"

It was Thor who spoke first, he staggered over while supporting the stone wall with his hands on his waist and abdomen, knelt down beside Loki, and he didn't forget to put his hand on Loki's forehead.

The agent stared straight at the man in front of him.

If it weren't for the water droplets splashed on the back of his hand and the real touch on his forehead, he would almost suspect that he was dreaming.After all, in the residual consciousness, Thor is still lying on his lap, gasping.The Alpha in front of him was still crumbling, but it was much better than dying.

The fear and joy of the rest of his life bit Loki's heart, making him tremble uncontrollably.

"When I came to, you had a high fever," Thor explained hoarsely. "I couldn't let us both fall here, so I got up and retrieved it. Are you feeling better?"

Loki follows Thor's gaze and notices an open medicine chest lying beside him.

"This is……"

"Fandral stayed in the assault boat, but no one was injured at the time. Considering the load, I threw it into the crevices of the reef when I pulled the boat out. I didn't expect to save my life at a critical moment."

Loki subconsciously looked at the man's waist.

"Don't worry, you didn't hurt the vitals, and you stopped the bleeding in time. When you passed out just now, I did sutures and took anti-inflammatory drugs, so your life will no longer be in danger."

"Like who cares if an idiot like you is in danger," the agent muttered.

And it wasn't until this moment that he felt the wounds on his body throbbing with pain, as if he knew that Alpha was fine, and the body's functions began to resume, which made Loki's heart twitch tightly.

"What did you go out for just now?"

"I can't be trapped all the time, I just want to go out and see if it's possible to find a less steep road to climb up."

"So leave me here alone?"

The big blond man was taken aback by the question, but luckily the moonlight through the clouds allowed him to notice a bit of teasing from the corner of Omega's lips: "The silver tongue always wins." Alpha's eyes flickered with connivance, "You know, Loki, I will never leave you."

If at first Omega just wanted to vent his anger and offset the fright he received when the other party was unconscious, but now he was really provoked by the blond-haired Alpha next to him, causing his ears to burn.

He couldn't help but change the subject: "So genius, tell me how we're going to get up there?"

"Well, after going out, there will be a less dangerous road going east. But we still have to climb. It's too dark at night, and the wind on the cliff is also strong. Our current state of rock climbing in the dark is doomed to death. I suggest taking a rest for a while. Maybe it’s time to try it.”

Loki approves of the offer.

Now the sea must have drawn up a blockade, and it is undoubtedly a fantasy to hope that the Odin family will respond according to the original plan.If they don't want to be discovered by subsequent raids, they must save themselves.

The moon hides among the clouds, and the topic of self-help naturally reminds the two of them of "Dr. Walker" who caused the current situation.

"To be honest, I entered the Tongan prison half a year earlier than you and I didn't find any clues." Thor smiled wryly, turned over and sat beside Loki with difficulty.

Omega helped him naturally, and said with relief: "There is nothing to be depressed about, and JNSA has not noticed anything abnormal. Although it is a mission with no return for me, the fact that JNSA sent people here must be based on On the premise that we can get information from the target."

The icy sea breeze pouring into the cave made Omega shiver.

Thor put his arms around his shoulders.

Loki wanted to struggle, but didn't insist much.Both were hurt, sticking together was an effective way to maintain body temperature.Or in his heart, he already had the idea of ​​getting close to Thor.

The big blond felt it keenly.

The moonlight fell, and due to limited physical strength, Loki hadn't been able to move Thor deep into the cave before. At this moment, the two of them sat side by side by the cave entrance. The high full moon made the night no longer fearful. The sound of the waves gradually merged with the heartbeats of the two into a calm beat.

After experiencing life and death, the crux of the original stalemate is no longer so important.

"Well, that is to say, his disguise even fooled the Jotunheim National Security Bureau?" Thor asked.

It's easy to fool a gang leader, but it's not so easy to fool a national security agency.

"Maybe we were thinking in the wrong direction in the first place," Loki replied.

"What do you mean?"

"Maybe there was no Dr. Walker from the beginning to the end, maybe it was just a game of Thanos from the beginning to the end." The agent concluded, and then asked, "How did you find him?"

"After my father's accident, I have been tracking down who did it. I locked the suspect in Thanos half a year ago, and then I heard the news that one of his doctors was arrested for returning to his home country."

"So do I."

"That means..."

"That man may be Dr. Walker, maybe not. But he became the bait for Thanos fishing after he was imprisoned. We all want to find Thanos through Dr. Walker, but in turn, Thanos may also want to follow this bait." The bait to figure out who the hell is going against him."

Thor's back went cold: "When you first went to prison, he tried to use me to find out about you. After we confirmed that we had not cooperated for a long time, he called out the surname Odinson in front of us."

"But he was the one who persuaded me to work with you in the first place..." Loki's finger stroked his lips.

"No, there are no permanent friends or enemies, only permanent interests. When you were just imprisoned, it was in his best interest to use me to threaten you as an unknown factor. And when our cooperation is too close, it is also beneficial to drive us apart. He's the best."

Loki suddenly realized: "We don't cooperate, he is caught in the middle and frustrated. And we cooperate too closely, it is not easy for him to escape. So when JNSA and Odin's family are involved in the escape plan, he will pretend to have a skin disease. This is also for Temporarily adjust the jailbreak time so that we will be caught off guard..."

Thor understood, too.

So the current trouble is that if everything is planned by Thanos, no matter what the true identity of "Dr. Walker" is, he will sell all the information obtained in the Tonga prison to Thanos.

For Thor, once Thanos gets the information and wants to completely cut off the Odin family, it will be difficult for the severely damaged family to compete.It is even more dangerous for Loki. If Thanos doesn't want him to exist anymore, he will face the double pursuit of JNSA and Thanos' dark empire.

"What are your plans for the future?" Thor subconsciously tightened his arms.

He knew very well that with Loki's intellect, he must have thought of what he was worried about.But Loki won't take help lightly, especially from the Odin family.

"Or you..."

"You don't want me to go back to the Odin family with you?"

The agent is far smarter than Thor expected.

"Loki, staying together is better than being alone." Thor considered his words carefully, "Actually... the current situation is not completely useless, at least I can still talk to you like this. Otherwise, if the escape is successful, you will leave as soon as possible ?You no longer need Dr. Walker to complete the task, and you will not consider accepting the Odin family."

The agent looked sideways at Alpha, the blood loss made the man's face pale, and his lips were not the healthy color they used to be.

This made him inexplicably distressed.

He admitted that he did think so at first.Because he neither wants to cause trouble for Thor because of the JNSA, nor can he accept the Odin family in its entirety.

But this fool!

Loki thought he might never forget those blue eyes that looked at him when he was dying.

"You will eventually shoulder the responsibility of being the leader of the Odin family." He raised his head, "But before that, I have a safe house in the country of Saka."

The moonlight shone on the agent's face, making the pale cheeks that had always pretended to be indifferent reveal a soft radiance.

Maybe he still doesn't let go, but the living are far more important than the dead.

"Would you like to rest for a while?" Thor's voice suddenly hoarse.

"Okay, I don't want some idiot who got shot to fall off a cliff tomorrow." The agent snorted softly, but even so, he followed Thor's motion and snuggled up to him.

**

They embarked on a journey of just two people.

After climbing up the cliff, the two immediately sent a contact signal to Fandral. It is impossible to connect in West Timor. If they want to escape smoothly, they need to take a bus to the border and then smuggle to the adjacent Saka Island.

Saka used to be a state belonging to West Timor. It declared independence due to religious issues, and because it has always maintained diplomatic relations with West Timor politically and economically, customs inspections are very loose.

The escape, which is quite different from the original plan, is actually a unique journey.Thor, who was still a student before being imprisoned, has never had such an experience, and Loki, who is used to walking alone, has never been so close to anyone, and they are both still injured.

Omega doesn't have the monster-like healing power like Alpha. After climbing the cliff, the upturned injury made him very weak, and he would often rest on Thor's shoulder, and Thor used the windbreaker to cover his pale cheeks.The dilapidated bus would wobble when it was on the dirt road, and when Loki woke up from the shaking, in addition to the warm red sunset glow, he would often see Thor's blond hair.

After escaping a hundred kilometers, the two of them were no longer so nervous.

Because "Dr. Walker" drove away the assault boat, the police search and arrest were more concentrated on the coast and near the sea. No one would have thought that they would pretend to be the most ordinary young couple and head west across the island.

It was midsummer when Loki entered the prison, and it was winter when he came out.

He bought himself and Thor winter clothes with some money he "earned" at the bar with Texas Hold'em. Thor's gunshot wound was in a tricky location, making it difficult to make large movements, and he needed Loki to support him when he walked.The two of them stood side by side on the street where snowflakes were falling, and huddled together in front of the window to watch the news broadcast on TV.

A week later, the police basically gave up on the search, and more people are willing to believe that the three villains have fled the country long ago.

The precautionary measures have been weakened over time.

Thor let out a sigh of relief, and put Loki's icy hands into his pockets.

They didn't have much money, and when they crossed the territory of Saka, they could only rent the cheapest single room in the youth hostel.The two big and tall guys squeezed into a small bed, Loki sleeping inside, Thor sleeping on the outside with his arms around him. Alpha's gunshot wound healed well, and in the afternoon when he was not in a hurry to move forward, Loki would lie on his body and study the ugly stitches on his side.

The blond fool calls it the Order of Knighthood.

Loki rolled his eyes.

If they weren't still on the way to escape, they would even be a bit like elopement couples, struggling but hit it off.

Though he doesn't say it, Thor secretly thinks that if Fandral's immigration process is a little slower, he might be able to spend his first Christmas with Loki.

On December 12, Fandral called.

That day, very close to Loki's safe house, the agent took out the cash and pistols hidden in the locker at the small town train station. Thor said that he could buy a roast chicken and take it to "their new home".

Loki was just about to tell Thor whose house it was, when Fandral appeared on the corner of the street.

The agents didn't want the Odin family to set foot on the private property, and the three eventually returned to the youth hostel.

"Thor, Dr. Walker was captured by the JNSA." Fandral said eagerly as soon as he entered the door.

He needs Thor to return to the Odin family with him as soon as possible.And the unspoken hidden meaning is also obvious. The biggest beneficiary of the Tonga prison party is clearly JNSA.

The news made Loki pale.

"impossible."

Fandral stared fixedly at Omega in front of him: "In addition to infiltrating food trucks, JNSA also disguised at least one helicopter to look like the West Timor police. There was a positioning signal of the Odin family on the assault boat, and we rushed to the nearest When we arrived at the pick-up location, the assault boat had already sunk. Later, I hacked into the JNSA system, and the doctor was indeed in their hands."

"Fandral," Thor said, "You go out first, I have something to say to Loki."

"Yes."

The small, dark hotel room fell into silence again.

"Loki."

"If you're asking me where Dr. Walker is being held, that's fine."

Alpha suddenly laughed, and his deep voice was always inexplicably reassuring: "You know what I'm going to say is not this, we all know that you will never do anything for JNSA, and I have no doubts about Dr. Walker you."

The agent let out a foul breath, yes, he knew it.

"But I have to go back to Asgard. The Odin family has no leader for half a year. After the father passed away, the family needs to get back on track. Christmas is a good time to reunite."

"Then you need me to give you one... um—!"

Thor wrapped his arms around Omega's waist and kissed him deeply before he could finish speaking.He kissed domineeringly and long, until Loki breathed a little, and then licked the agent's soft lips again: "Come back and make another welcome kiss. What I really want to say is that JNSA is too powerful, I'm not here Don’t light this bomb alone when you’re here.”

Omega raised his eyebrows unconsciously: "When you're not around—"

It's a Loki-esque drawl, proud and provocative.

Thor stared at him seriously.He won't ask "in the future" because he knows that Loki has already promised him in his heart.If Loki doesn't want to go with him, let him come to him instead.After life and death, the trust between them will not be easily broken. Loki is willing to step out of the originally closed world for him, and naturally it is worth everything he has for him.

"I said I wanted to start a family with you, so I'll be back when the family matters are done."

From Loki's point of view, this is really a stupid idea. They have only known each other for ten days since the day they escaped from prison, and they have only known each other for a few months since they were imprisoned.

But this man seems to have been ready to spend his life with him.

On second thought, it wasn't a bad decision.
