Loki's focus is a little scattered, between his various illusions, but he, too, noted the third party aiming at Sif. At about the same moment Matt shouts, Loki moves to put himself between the warrior-maiden and the rifle barrel. His invisibility drops, and for a moment Sif will get an unfortunately clear look at his Jotun shape. Still very much the Loki she was introduced to, but blue-skinned and red-eyed. He draws up a magical shield; when Matt flings the baton, the gun may or may not go off, but if it does, it will hit no living mark.

While Daredevil tangles with that foe, Loki spins seidr yet again, motions too fast for the eye as he abruptly switches physical places with one of his illusions, castles like a king and a rook on a chessboard. And now, face to face with his illusion's former opponent, his dagger lashes out, sinks in, and tears downward.

He has no compunctions about killing.
