"I call them what they are," Loki replied. "It matters not what you believe I should think." He didn't deny what she said about his magic, though; there was no point.

Amora sneered as she looked at him. "Why is it you have come to me, Loki?" she asked, her eyes narrowing a bit. Clearly she was no longer in the mood to play.

"Your little game is no longer amusing, Amora," Loki said, looking at her calmly. "It's time to end the enchantment before anyone gets it in their head to force you to."

"Why should I? I see no benefit in it." Amora shrugged. "Besides, as you are now, you can neither undo my work nor force me to."

"I would think you would see the benefit in not having to face my brother over it," Loki pointed out. "After all, he's due back any time, now, and I doubt very much he would mind returning to Asgard early if it means taking you back as well."

Amora snorted at him. "I'll be long gone by then," she said. "And your brother has never been good at tracking."

Loki raised an eyebrow. Amora seemed to be forgetting one very important fact: while it was true Thor had never cared much for the skills that required finesse, Loki excelled at those same skills. And he had already tracked her down once.

"I see," he said instead, leaving her to her delusion. "Then what, hypothetically speaking, would entice you to remove the enchantment?"

Amora shrugged, smirking at him. "Make it worth my while," she said. "I'm sure you can come up with something."

Elaine just watched the verbal sparring match. They weren't going to get anywhere like this; Loki didn't have enough power to force Amora to do anything, and Amora seemed too stubborn to just agree. So Elaine took matters into her own hands. Before she could second-guess herself, she marched up to Amora, hit her hard enough to make the enchantress stumble, and grabbed the woman by the hair.

"Enough of this," she said. "I am sick of listening to you, so you're going to come with us."

Amora spluttered and turned luminous eyes on Elaine, ready to just hit her with a spell and be done with it, only to be distracted by Loki propelling her along with a nasty little grin. Oh yes, Loki was amused.

Elaine went with Loki, dragging Amora back with them.

"I didn't mean to interrupt," she said to Loki. "I was just sick of listening to her."

"As was I." Loki smirked as he helped Elaine drag Amora back to the Tower so they could get her inside and shove her at Thor to deal with. "I admit I am surprised though, you are usually averse to violent solutions."

Elaine flushed a little.

"Usually," she admitted. "I guess this situation with Bruce and the Hulk has us all on edge, I just want it done with."

Loki just smiled and made Amora sit in a chair once they were up in the Tower. He knew that Jarvis had already informed Tony that they were back, and Loki started looking around for Thor.

Elaine stayed to keep an eye on Amora, until Loki could get back with Thor. Because even though she trusted Jarvis, she didn't trust Amora one bit.

Loki led Thor back into the room, looking vaguely smug. Ha, he wasn't the one in trouble this time!

Amora looked vaguely panicked when she saw Thor. Whoops, he wasn't off-world anymore. Time to go. She shoved Elaine away to try and beat a hasty retreat.

Thor easily stepped between Amora and the exit even as Elaine stumbled and almost fell.

"I am told you are the one at fault for the state of one of my comrades," he said to her, looming menacingly. "It would be wise to set them back to rights immediately."

Amora scowled but knew Thor would make her anyway, so she waved a hand dismissively as she unraveled the spell easily.

"There. Done."

Thor looked at his brother for confirmation. Magic wasn't his strong suit.

Loki nodded. "It's done."

Amora stood, half-hoping she could still get away, possibly magic herself out.

"Good." Thor stepped forward and wrapped a massive hand around Amora's upper arm. "And now I will take you back to Asgard, Enchantress. It is time and past for you to face justice for your crimes."

Amora glowered at him. "Unhand me," she demanded. "If I am to go, I will not be dragged along."

"If I were to release you, you would be gone in a moment," Thor pointed out. He knew better than to let her go. "You will be unhanded upon arrival to Asgard."

Amora scowled more deeply but didn't protest again. She knew she wouldn't get away now.

But that didn't mean she had to be nice. She stuck her nose up at Thor and decided ignoring him but for walking with him was the best course of action.

Once he was relatively sure Amora wouldn't get away, Thor looked at Loki.

"Coming, brother?" he asked. He figured it was a good enough time to pay a visit to Odin, as well; they were due to visit soon anyways.
