After Loki had flown from the Thames, Pestilence had walked the streets of London, distributing some minor colds and flu and wondering what to do next. She could never allow herself to reach that position again, devoid of resources and waiting for a white knight to save her

Given his sword and his orders, Loki had been headed towards Pestilence before she could have known, repaired wings carrying him swiftly and expertly and he tracked her all the way to Iowa.

His orders were simple: punish Pestilence for her behaviour.

He landed soundlessly in the field, no more than five metres behind her, the pigs who were roaming calmly before starting to back away, squealing in fear. They understood what he was there for, could feel it pouring off him in waves.

She turned and frowned. There was something different about him - the way he carried himself, the set of his jaw. He would have been magnificent if the sight hadn't thoroughly chilled her.

"Loki?"

He didn't respond to his name, or the way she spoke it, choosing instead to keep his eyes fixed, burning cold blue fury in her direction. She was a neutral, yes, but his orders were to punish her, and punish her was what he was going to do.

She stepped forward, a horrible feeling rising in her chest. He didn't look quite real, or entirely there. It was if he didn't want to acknowledge her at all.

"Loki? Are you all right?"
