Author's note: Omg hello readers! I feel really bad for not updating in the longest time, I've been occupied with presentations before going back to college in two weeks. I'll try to update a couple of chapters before I go back to boring uni life, I'll still write once I go in but the updates would be snail-paced, anyways I LOVE YOU!
“Your Majesty, our soldiers are ready for the second attack.” Ymir knelt down behind her as Amora peered through an orb that showed the situation of Georgia. “Good, make sure you bring her to me, alive.” She emphasized the state that she wanted you to be in once they’ve captured you.
“Yes, my Queen.” The frost giant nodded in obedience before he made his way out of the mother ship. Lorelei was left with her elder sister. “Sister.. I wonder why you want to take her so badly? Is it because you are bitter about the fact that she married your lover? Or is it because you want to see him suffer by killing his wife yourself?” The younger one strode towards her sibling.
“You’re correct Lorelei.. But, it is deeper than that. That princess has something that I truly desire. Something rare and special. It could give me supreme power over the Nine Realms and further. I want it, I long for it.” The Enchantress stared at the vision of you in the orb. Lorelei tilted her head at the blonde sorceress. “You’re already reigning over the universe sister.. What more do you want?”
Amora’s eyes diverted to look at her younger sibling, “Not yet. As long as that Arolfian princess is alive and free, she is going to be a barricade to us in ruling the universe. She’s a danger to our empire. If I am able to get through to her, she might be of great use to us all.” She smirked evilly. “As much use as that old man?” Lorelei questioned to which the latter shook her head. “Oh the old man is only a small part of the plan.. Once I get her, you’ll see..” The sorceress didn’t want to spoil too much about her next plan, though, it is expected that the plan would be a massive one.
“You’re certain that my wife is safe in that dimension?” Loki walked alongside Strange as they went out of the portal to northern Georgia. “Yes, don’t worry.. She’ll be safe.. Unless someone snitches which I’m sure none of us would do.” The doctor huffed out and analyzed the situation. Everyone was grateful that the second battle ensued in a woodsy part of Georgia that was far from major communities. The God knew that there was a reason why Amora and her army chose somewhere farther from the Avengers Compound, deep inside, he felt uneasy as if something bad would transpire soon.
The Avengers assembled themselves, knowing that they were Earth’s very own line of defense against these otherworldly beings that were about to engage in the second wave of war. All of them spectated the rows of monsters and mages coming out of the portals, getting themselves ready for the fight. There was a difference though. Thor noticed that a giant, circular platform hovering over the rest of the enemies, on it was the Enchantress herself, overlooking her soldiers proudly with her sister, Lorelei beside her.
“Look! Over there.. That’s Amora.” The God of Thunder pointed towards the direction of the floating platform. “It seems like the witch has come to play..” Natasha stated. “Alright.. Let’s stop this Hocus Pocus shit once and for all.” Tony tapped on his arc reactor to put his nanotech helmet on as the swarm of villains neared. Hogun shouted on the top of his lungs, unofficially commencing the battle and all of them charged towards the mob.
Lady Sif and the Warriors Three fought vigorously, slicing and cutting their opponents with no mercy. Tony, Wanda, Vision and Sam flew up to strike the foes from above, Iron Man and Vision blasting them with powerful rays, burning through the enemies’ bodies whilst Wanda made some of them levitate and then dropping them from a tall height, crushing their bones. The Falcon on the other hand, ambushed some of the villains and with the help of some birds in the area, particularly the eagles and hawks, he was able to injure them by having the birds peck their eyes out and tear their flesh apart.
Steve with his vibranium shield and Thor with his Mjolnir, used their respective weapons by flunging them towards rows of attackers. Thor even used his mighty hammer to knock down one of the Frost Giants in the head. Natasha and Clint worked as a pair and backed each other up, using their mastery in combat fighting to repel the enemies. Bullet by bullet, arrow by arrow were released and each one not missing the target. Banner on the other hand had transformed into the incredible Hulk, attacking the bigger sized monsters that were a part of Amora’s line of defense.
The Spiderman swung from tree to tree, halting the enemies on their tracks by shooting his web fluid on their limbs, the boy also made some traps and obstructions on their way to slow them down so that the other Avengers could tackle them in a breeze while Strange and a few of his proteges fought off the sorcerers and mages with their ancient magic accompanied by Asgard’s very own supreme sorcerer, Loki. Everything was going on smoothly and they’ve all decided that their goal was to get to where the Enchantress was on her platform.
“My Queen, we have located the Midgardian sorcerer with the Eye of Agamotto, do you want us to retrieve him for you?” The old mage that attacked you last time appeared behind Amora.
“No, I’ll handle him. Make sure the others are ready to get her.” She grinned sinisterly, dismissing the mage before she summoned her powers to find Strange who was in the middle of battling the mystical creatures. There were few who knew what the Enchantress was able to do and to what extent her powers were. The most dangerous thing she could do was to control the minds of the creatures who held the Infinity Stones.
No, she wasn’t looking to use the stones for her advantage, those rocks didn’t matter to her, not when the Avengers had something much more powerful hidden beneath one of the many kinds of dimensions. That was the problem, where did they hide you, she needed to know and Strange was the only one who had access to the knowledge. Like a virus, her powers traveled through the battlefield, in search of Midgard’s strongest sorcerer.
And then whoosh, Amora was able to penetrate Strange’s mind with the help of the Time Stone, the jewel acting as a passageway into the inner depths of his soul. With his mind being overtaken by the sorceress, Strange stopped fighting and instead, stood still with his eyes wide open. The enemies knew that their leader had already taken over him and made a point to not bother the two sorcerers while they fought in his psyche.
In a blink of an eye, Strange was transported into his own head, the place was pure white and misty. Behind the fog, he saw a silhouette, one that looked familiar, it was the Enchantress.
“So, this is the infamous Stephen Strange, the best sorcerer that Midgard could ever offer. Such a shame that you are not fighting for me.” She walked leisurely towards him with a smirk on her face. “Yeah… No thanks. I’d rather keep my free will than work under your dark empire.” The man spoke in a sarcastic tone. “What do you want?” He added.
“Well, I’m just looking around… For some useful information.” She smiled menacingly. “Oh and don’t worry.. I’m not here for your lousy stone.. Nor am I here to enchant you. If you answer my question, I’ll spare you and your friends’ lives.” Amora finally went face to face with the doctor. “And what’s your question?” He asked sternly, throwing daggers at her with his gaze.
“Where is she?” The woman maintained her daunting smirk. “I have no idea what you are talking about..” Strange answered and to which the female clicked her tongue. “You sorcerers.. Always acting stupid when you are asked a question. Tell me.. And I shall keep my word. Sorceress to sorcerer.” She tilted her head and did a fake innocent expression. Strange gave her an unapologetic look and shrugged his shoulders, keeping his silence.
“Fine.. I guess I’d have to scavenge it myself.” With a step back from Amora, the male began fighting her with his magic. Summoning a cane and trying to strike her but she was faster, throwing magical power balls at him. “You’re sneaky, Strange.” With another throw, she succeeded in breaking the magic cane. “I like it.” She grinned. The man tried to confine her by summoning magical chains to tie her down but it was no match for her mystical strength and she broke it as if they were made of paper.
“You should consider joining me. It would be helpful to have you on my defense line.” She looked behind him and saw a blurry apparition of you in the Mirror Dimension. She got ahold of Stephen and threw him to the side forcefully as though the male weighed like nothing. Amora took off in the direction of the vision, being absolutely sure that that was one of Strange’s memories. Just then, she slipped as the sorcerer created a rope around her ankle and yanked it.
“Not so fast.” He claimed. “You’d have to get over me first.” The male breathlessly spoke. “Okay.” She was the one to shrug this time, right before she forgathered the dead patients from his memories to hold him down, their limbs reaching out from under him and trapping him. “Remember them? These poor people you had turned down just because you wanted a more.. What do you say? Exciting? Challenging cases that match your level? And also the ones that you’ve failed during your early years.. All the pain you’ve put them through just because of your ego..”
The Enchantress wasn’t done with her torture yet, she found another painful memory that he had, one that involved him losing his steady hands, oh, even better, when he lost Christine; his lovely and supportive Christine. She closed her fists tightly, indirectly causing pain to Strange’s hands so he couldn’t do his sorcery. Then, she projected an image of Christine in front of him; the exact memory of when she lost hope and gave up on him. “You see Strange, with your ego, you’ve actually hurt and killed so many.. More than the amount of people you’ve saved. If you keep letting your ego blind you, billions of Midgardians shall be killed.. Unless, you give her to me.” She sighed softly whilst the man was in agony.
Amora turned away from him and unhurriedly walked towards the vision, every step she took got her closer to the knowledge of where you were. “Hmm. Mirror Dimension. Smart choice..” She spoke in a low volume. “You’ll.. Never.. Get.. To.. Her.” Strange struggled. “Not without my help..” He continued and it made the sorceress laugh. “You Midgardians.. Always underestimating people. I myself was a student of your late Sorcerer Supreme. I’ve learnt further than she could ever teach anyone. Your stupid sling ring is useless, it only suppresses your powers.” She turned to look at the doctor before leaving his mind. “Goodbye.”
“Where the fuck is Strange?!” Tony Stark shouted out, the Avengers had been fighting with the beasts for a while now and it doesn’t seem like it was stopping anytime soon. Doctor Strange was the one that they could rely on aside from Wanda, Vision and Loki to get to the Enchantress. The three of their most trusted heroes were busy defending themselves and killing the enemies but where was the doctor? “I have a visual of him, he’s standing there like a fucking dumbass.” Sam Wilson flew across the war stricken forest and once he landed in front of Strange, the man shook him to get him back to reality.
“Stephen! Wake up man! Why the hell are you standing here? You wanna get yourself killed?!” The Falcon screamed in his emotionless face before he was attacked by a Dark Elf, his head was hit by the creature’s stone club, making him lose consciousness. Thankfully, Wanda came to the rescue and banished the being with her magic, killing him from the inside. She hurried to Strange and figured that he was enchanted in a way so she did what she had to do; get in his mind to release him.
In a matter of seconds, she had access to his mind easily and found the male struggling from a distance. The woman saw the horrific scene unfolding in front of her, zombie-like hands holding Strange down, an apparition of a woman in front of him, telling him horrible, mean things to him and a defenseless and weak Stephen Strange looking down. Wanda pushed Christine’s vision away and stepped on the hands that were keeping him in bondage; all of them disappearing after she did so. “Strange.. She did this to you didn’t she? What does she want?” The female questioned him urgently but he didn’t budge nor did he lift his head.
“Strange, wake up! This is all in your head! Don’t let her get to you!” She lifted his head to look at his eyes. “Wake up please! We need you! The world needs you!” None of her words seem to reach out to him. “Stephen Strange! What was she looking for in your head?” Without saying a single phrase, his eyes averted to the vision of you behind her, exactly where Amora went to earlier. Wanda’s head whipped towards the direction of his stare. “She knows..” The woman stood up from her kneeling position and disappeared from his mind zone. She wanted to help him but there wasn’t anything she could do, the doctor was the only one that could save himself from his own psyche. But for now, she has to warn the others.
And with that, Wanda returned to her own physical body, leading the mindless Strange to a safer area before leaving him to convey the message to the rest of the team. “Strange has been compromised. Someone ought to protect him in case they try to hurt him.” She touched her ear monitor. “Wait what? How?” The Black Widow stopped in her tracks to ask the Scarlet Witch, she was definitely bamboozled. How could someone mystically strong as Strange be defeated so easily until he couldn’t fight anymore?
“It’s Amora. She went into his head, messed him up, broke his spirit and he’s trapped in his own mind. I tried to help but there’s nothing that I could do.” Wanda answered. “I’ll cover for him.” Clint clarified and left Nat’s side to go to where Strange was placed. “Okay, okay.. So Strange is out of the picture. Who thinks they could reach out to that witch?” Tony asked. “Wanda could do it, she’s the next person to Strange that could manipulate magic.” Thor said through the monitor. “Wanda, you think you can handle her?” Tony inquired once more. “Yeah, but I need you guys to cover me. There’s just too many of them.” She answered. “Alright, hey kid! I need to swing around and clear a path for Wanda.” The Iron Man ordered. “On it!” Young Peter’s voice was heard in their ears.
In no time, the Spiderman managed to create webs that formed fences out of his web fluid so Wanda could sprint and fly her way towards where the Enchantress’ platform was. Although everything seemed to go to plan, another portal opened right in the middle of the path and arrows came out, injuring Peter and the Scarlet Witch. “Mr Stark! We need help here! There’s a new portal opened.” The young man hastily called out to the team. “Shit.” Tony muttered and flew as fast as he could to extract two of the heroes out of the swarm of arrows.
Amidst the turmoil, Loki spoke up into the ear monitor, “You guys go ahead, I’ll take care of Amora. I’m already close.” He looked up at where the circular platform was above him. His fast and relentless energy aided him in going through the insane amount of enemies and he prayed to the Norns that he could actually teleport to where his ex lover is.
At the same time, you were sitting in the Mirror Dimension, getting upset and feeling baffled over the fact that Loki and the others actually left you out of the battle. You felt betrayed but on the other hand you were still analyzing the situation in a logical way. It would be a lie to say that subconsciously you weren’t expecting your husband to keep you away from the inter-realm war but it was unfair for you. You were worried about what would happen to them since they were going against Amora who had mastered almost all the magic that every realm could offer.
Whilst you were deep in thought, you almost forgot that you were with a child, your motherly instincts started to kick in and a sense of panic overflooded you. You were afraid that there would be a possibility that the Enchantress could get to you and steal your child, or even worse, kill it. You took deep breaths and rubbed your belly. You began to sing Vargsången, a lullaby that Oralfian mothers sing to their children, the English meaning would be the Wolf Song. Its lyrics are a mother’s plea to the wolves to not take her child and her telling the child that they would be safe.
It calms you down bit by bit as you look around at the reflective walls of the Mirror Dimension, hoping that you and your child would be safe within the confines of the vicinity. “Don’t worry, my love.. Me and your father, along with our friends, shall keep you safe.” You assured the baby growing in your womb before you continued vocalizing the melody to the lullaby. The quietness of the dimension was peaceful, the atmosphere felt as if you were back in Asgard’s palace, reading a book in your own chambers.
The silence wasn’t for long though, because right after you finished the last note, your senses began picking up something that was off and you immediately stood up, you felt danger approaching but that can’t be. Even you can’t escape from the dimension despite using your impressive, ancient powers. Besides, Strange did explain that only way to access the way in and out of the dimension was through the sling rings. No way anyone could get to you right?
You were on high alert, the silence was becoming too eerie for your liking and your heart began thumping manically in your chest. Just then, an arm broke in the dimension, the shards breaking from the intrusion, your heart sunk from the jumpscare and when you thought it was over, several hands began entering the dimension until the mirror walls collapsed, you screamed in horror, the hands looked horrid, the fingers were black as if they were frostbitten. Some had sharp nails, resembling claws and before you knew it, you were already greeted by the very same mage that injured you a few weeks ago.
“Hello again, beautiful. The queen wishes for your presence.” He displayed a full smile, showing his rotting teeth to you. “Let me go!” You struggled to free yourself from their hold but you couldn’t do anything further since they had already teleported you from the destroyed dimension into what looked like a massive stage, right in front of Amora. “You…” You sneered upon realizing who the female was.
You charged towards her with your glowing hands, wanting to attack her more than ever though your advances were to no avail. “Nuh uh uh.. You know better than to attack me, pet.” The Enchantress used her powers to absorb your strength and energy and it made you freeze. “What.. Do you want from me? From us?” Gratefully, your lips could still move although it was difficult to do so. “Very straightforward.. I’m starting to like you even more..” You were starting to feel weak and drowsy as she absorbed all of your energy.
“That’s an easy question to answer… I want.. You. Your powers really..” Amora answered your inquiry before halting her magic, making you fall on your knees. “So are you going to enchant me or kill me?” Your breathing went erratic and the sorceress laughed. “Tsk tsk tsk.. Neither. I know it’s extremely complicated to enchant you.. And, you know I need you alive Aurelia..” She crouched down to look at you with a vicious smile. “What do you mean, you witch?” You returned her gaze, you absolutely don’t have any idea what she meant.
“You really do not know? Poor princess.. She doesn’t know what she is. Her parents lied to her-” You cut her off. “Don’t drag my parents into this you murderer. Let them rest in peace.” Your voice quivered. Again, Amora laughed at your words. “Oh dear.. She has no idea..” She stood back up and looked down on you. “Let’s bring in someone.. Familiar, to explain shall we?” With a snap of her fingers, her personal guards brought an elder man in, shoving him right next to you.
“Father?!” It was your beloved father, the King of Arolf, Lerros Vercolson. “Au..relia…” He defenselessly muttered. You inspected him, he looked frail and sickly. His face was covered in bruises and his body had lost a significant amount of weight. “What have they done to you?” Your breath hitched, your eyes were teary from the sight of your father. He looked far off from a king, he looked so… vulnerable. “Let him go..” You turned your head to look at Amora.
“That could be arranged.. Besides, I have no need for him anymore.. But, Lerros.. Tell her. What she truly is.. Who she is and where she’s from.. Go on..” The Enchantress folded her arms over her chest. “Aurelia… You are not… our child..” It confused you, have they beaten him up so badly that it had messed with his mind? “What do you mean I’m not your child?! How could you say that?!” His words saddened you, if you weren’t their child, then whose child are you? Are you even Arolfian royalty? You don’t even know who you are anymore. “You are.. The daughter of-”
“Amora!” Loki barged in and teleported from the platform. “Loki!” You shouted out. “Aurelia?” He froze when he saw that you were kneeling down in front of his ex. “Seize him!” The sorceress ordered her personal guards and Loki began fighting with them, Amora channeled her powers to her guards and it made them invincible, undefeatable and they succeeded in hurting Loki with their weapons; his screams of pain rang in your ears. “Stop it! Please, I’m begging you.. Don’t hurt him. Please, I’ll be yours.. Take whatever powers you want from me.” You weakly clasped your hands together while pleading for the woman’s mercy.
“Aurelia… No..” Your father spoke, almost whispering. “You’re certain?” Amora raised an eyebrow, it wasn’t that hard to convince you at all but she was still careful and alert just in case you had tricks up your sleeve. “Yes.” You nodded quickly. “Let’s have an agreement. Release my father and Loki, retract your army from Midgard and let my friends go. That’s all I ask of you.. Do all of this and I shall serve under your reign.” You bowed your head down.
“Very well..” Amora was satisfied, she looked at her guards and pulled them away from Loki using her telekinetic powers. “That’s enough. We have reached an agreement.” The woman explained. “One more thing..” You said and she turned to look at you again. “May I say my last words to him?” You requested to which the sorceress rolled her eyes. “Go ahead. But no tricks.” With her approval, you slowly stood up and walked towards Loki who was lying down on the platform. “What have you done Aurelia?” He looked at you with hooded eyes. “Let me help you..” You held his hand and assisted him in standing up.
“Don’t do this.. Don’t make the same mistakes as I did. You’re far more than this..” He whispered to you. “I know, I know.. But this is the only way.. Maybe this is how things are meant to be.. It’s inevitable.” A single tear fell on your cheek. “Please don’t cry…” His eyes softened at your fragile state. He stole a glance at the guards and the surroundings. “Listen.. I have a plan-” “No.” You interjected him. “My decision is final. We can’t keep running from this.. How many more lives do we have to lose for this to be over? Strange used to say, ‘In the great calculus of the universe, one sacrifice means infinitely more than a billion lives.’ My sacrifice.. Is for.. The greater good.”
“Darling, please.. I.. I need you.” Loki was on the verge of tears, who wouldn’t be? Especially when the only person who understands them, keeps up with their antics is leaving. Your presence in his life had impacted him so much that he couldn’t afford to go a day without you. “I’m sorry.. I promise that I shall take good care of myself and our child. Trust me, I’ll keep myself alive for you. Who knows, someday, we’ll be able to meet again.” You cried and he did too. This really was goodbye. You pulled him in for a kiss, a long and sweet one. A farewell kiss. When you two pulled away, you frowned and muttered, “I’m sorry.”
You pushed him off the platform and it caught him off guard but you were certain that he was safe because you had stolen a look at the view under the circle and Vision and Sam were close by. You turned around and saw a taken aback Amora. “My my.. You learn fast..” The sorceress chuckled. “Let my father go too.. And retreat from Midgard.” You wiped your tears away. “Okay.” The Enchantress shrugged and opened a portal in the middle of the battlefield before her guards pushed your father out of it forcefully. Now, with no Loki nor parents, you were alone. Truly alone and confused as to who you really are. You spoke in a soft voice, “Who am I?”

Author's note: Hey hey! It's been a while ik.. Soz for that, writer's block was real. I hope you guys enjoy this chapter! Things are about to get real. Ooh and Don't forget to check out When I Saw You one-shot once it's out!
Bairn - Old Norse barn, principally meaning “child, a son or daughter."
Sheets of paper were being printed by F.R.I.D.A.Y as the results of your scan the day before, had finally come out. “Scan and assessment are 100% completed.” Bruce heard the AI assistant’s announcement. “Thanks F.R.I.D.A.Y.” The man walked over to the printer and took all of the papers from the machine, as a result of his and Tony’s brilliance, they have created a more futuristic and smart scanner that could be used to identify injuries and traumas inside and outside the body plus examine someone’s psychological health and brain activity all in one scan. The results could come out in between 30 minutes to 24 hours depending on the person, whether they are a normal human being or a creature from another species.
The professor scanned his eyes through the health report, everything appeared in good shape, no abnormalities or damage anywhere on your head, chest, and legs. But, there was one thing that caught his eye, there was a lump in your abdominal area. He quickly turned to his computer and asked F.R.I.D.A.Y to look further into what was sitting in your stomach.
As the artificial intelligence did so and began to display a hologram of what was inhabiting you, Bruce's mouth fell agape and he called for Pepper who just happened to walk by the treatment room. “Hey Pepper. Can you come in here for a second?” “Yeah, what’s up Bruce?” The woman reversed her steps.
“You’ve been pregnant before right? You must’ve done an ultrasound before so uh.. I’m no midwife or gynecologist but tell me, does this look..” “Like a baby.” Pepper interrupted the male as she saw the hologram of your scan. “Wait, is this?” Her head whipped towards Bruce’s direction.
“Yep. It’s Aurie’s results. I don’t think she knows..” The professor rubbed his nape conflictingly. “We gotta tell her as soon as possible. She can’t go out there while carrying a baby. It’s dangerous for both of them.” Pepper asserted. “Yeah, should we tell Loki too?” Bruce questioned.
“Tell me what?” Loki disrupted from behind which made Pepper and Bruce turn so quickly after being caught off-guard. “Oh uh nothing!” Fortunately, the professor’s hands worked speedily to turn off the hologram. “Right.” The God squinted at their weird behavior, he knew there was something off based on their tone and body language.
“Anyways, Bruce, have you found anything wrong with Aurelia?” Banner glanced at Pepper and she widened her eyes to him, giving him a signal to not tell Loki anything before she excused herself. “Coming through, I got other things to do.. Bye Bruce!” She awkwardly smiled as she walked by your husband.
Bruce rummaged through the papers of your health report, thinking of leaving the picture that showed the lump in your stomach, however Loki had teleported to stand closer to him. “Anything?” Loki tilted his head as he observed all the documents. Bruce nervously cleared his throat prior to explaining the results.
“There’s nothing wrong with her. She’s as healthy as she can be.” Just then, your spouse held the picture of your scan up, “Then what’s this on her stomach?” He raised an eyebrow. “Oh that’s just a little swelling, I’ll give her an ice pack to reduce it. She’s otherwise in shape.” Bruce nervously lied.
“Really?” Loki stared. Luckily for Banner, Loki didn’t have much knowledge regarding anatomy or bodily science so he didn’t nitpick any further although he had his doubts, especially since the professor was acting strange and suspicious. “Fine..” He broke the intense eye contact and put the picture down gently. “But if I find out that she is not well, you know who I would pay a visit to first.” He threatened the poor man. Loki doesn’t play around any matter that involves you, his wife whom he cares dearly.
You were just sitting at the lounging area, deep in thought and analyzing what the mage said to you as he touched your abdomen. “Hello little one.” His vicious grin, teeth black, skin sagging on his rotting bones, and his eyes, his sunken, dark, lifeless eyes. It made you shiver as you recalled the painful zap that made its way through your body.
What did he mean when he greeted you with that short sentence? Why did he touch your stomach area instead of somewhere else? Most importantly, why did it hurt so much when he came in contact with your body? Was it because you were distracted and your protection against magic wavered? You were overthinking it as you fiddled with your bottom lip.
At that moment, Pepper approached you softly, asking to speak with you while taking a seat next to you on the leather couch. “Is something wrong Pepper?” You asked curiously, you knew that there is something important going on if Tony’s wife and assistant wanted to talk. “Oh, I’m just helping Bruce out with something regarding you..” She gave you a kind smile. “Sure, what is it?” Before she popped the question to you, she took both of your hands and faced you properly. “Aurie, are you pregnant?” The query made you widen your eyes and pull away from her.
“Huh? Well.. I don’t think I am..? Why’d you ask?” You doubtfully answered and questioned her back. “Well, Bruce pulled me into the treatment room earlier to identify something from your scan and.. And when I took a look at it, it seemed like you had a baby inside of you.” The woman was careful with her words, she didn’t want to freak you out. “Who’s got a baby inside of them?” Wanda chimed in, she had accidentally eavesdropped on the two of you in her way to get a glass of water.
“Are you pregnant, Aurie?” Wanda tilted her head. “Apparently she probably is, based on her scan.” Pepper responded. “You should take a pregnancy test, just to be sure.” Potts placed a hand on your shoulder as your mind began to connect the dots. What the mage said, the pain that linked to your stomach, the reason why your motherly instincts kicked in really hard when you saved the little child.
Could it be true? Could you be carrying you and Loki’s first offspring? “Can any of you get your hands on one? I wish to be as discreet as I can about this pregnancy.” You looked at both Pepper and Wanda. “Of course, we could go out and get one, we’ll ask Strange to open a portal to a pharmacy.” Maximoff smiled towards you.
After begging Strange to teleport you two to a pharmacy, you finally got the pregnancy test. Well, frankly speaking, pregnancy tests. You didn’t know which one to purchase and you just wanted to be sure whether you really are with a child or not. There you were in Wanda and Vision’s room, hiding from Loki while you waited for the tests’ outcome. It was hilarious how the Scarlet Witch had to explain how the test works to you.
You literally had to urinate on one of them and prick yourself to put your blood on the other. Honestly, you weren’t sure whether the tests would work or not since they were meant for Midgardians’ usage and not Asgardians. The five minutes of waiting felt like an eternity, you weren’t sure how to react if the tests came out positive. Should you be happy and excited or should you be worried and afraid?
The alarming sound of the timer broke the nerve wracking silence as you glanced at Wanda and got ready to look at the results of the two tests that were in your grasp. “Ready?” You asked your witch friend and took a deep breath. Slowly, you turned the two sticks around while looking away, then your eyes averted bit by bit to look at the test window to see any formation of double lines. From that moment, it was as if you were frozen in time, your heart rate began increasing and your goosebumps dominated your skin. “Aurie?” Wanda pulled you back into reality and you nodded, unspokenly telling her that you were pregnant.
“How are you feeling?” The red headed woman. “I don’t know what to feel..” You answered with knitted eyebrows. “Hey.. It’s okay.. Take your time.. I’m sure this is a shock to you. Plus, with everything going on right now..” She sat next to you on the bed and soothed you by stroking your arms. Wanda lets you have a moment of quietness before asking you a question.
“Are you going to tell Loki?” “No.. Not yet. If I tell him, he won’t let me fight.” The woman sighed upon hearing your response. “But he needs to know eventually, Aurie..” She was worried for you, with you being pregnant, it could be a threat when you go down to the field. “Yes.. I’ll tell him.. Once this war is over.” Wanda gets your stubbornness. It was something that a lot of great sorcerers have; you, her, Strange, and Loki had obstinacy of their own and there’s nothing anyone could do about it.
Loki observed you from afar as you trained with Natasha, in his mind, he was recalling the time when you came back into your shared room to settle for the night. He went in to give you an embrace from behind but you immediately rejected his advances, pulling his arms away from circling around your waist. It flabbergasted him, you had never pushed him away before and he wondered whether he had done something wrong somehow.
“Care to share your thoughts brother? You are spaced out like a statue.” Thor approached the God. “I’m just stupefied.. Have you noticed how odd Aurelia has been acting lately?” Loki asked the God of Thunder. “Not really.. Why?” He looked at you and went back to Loki.
“Do you think she’s upset about anything? Something related to me, perhaps?” He leaned back at the wall behind him. “Ah.. So this is what’s going on in your head? Did you have a lovers’ quarrel?” The blonde haired God smirked in amusement. “No. And I don’t recall annoying or upsetting her either.” He fidgeted with his ring, the Space Stone from the Tesseract dazzling it. Loki had cracked open the confining cube and decided to keep the stone on himself, disguised as a ring; he never took it off since then. Thor snickered loudly and smacked his brother’s arm, “Loki, Loki, Loki.. You’ve most probably done something wrong to her.. You should ask her.. She seems like someone who would be straightforward with anything.” The hero suggested. It felt nice to finally play the ‘big brother’ role to Loki and help him solve ‘women problems’.
It was dinner time and everyone was taking their food and sitting in the lounging area, some of them were watching a movie, including Loki while you took some food, tonight’s menu was Indian takeout. It’s been two weeks since you found out that there was a bun baking in the oven. Your first trimester symptoms were kicking in and now you had to be more careful with what you eat. One wrong step and it’s either heartburn, a session of throwing up in the bathroom or a really bad case of tummy aches.
Right after you’ve placed some food on your plate, you scouted around for a seat in the lounge but your eyes caught a glimpse of something green and large, it was Banner, in his Hulk form. No wonder you couldn’t seem to find any space to chow down when the lounge would usually fit all of the team. You walked towards where the big bodied hero was and confronted him.
“Hey big guy.. Why are you in this form?” You tilted your head in confusion when you saw that he was dressed in a stretchy shirt and pants with a pair of glasses. “Oh hey Aurie! Cool right? I started a gamma ray therapy to balance out my forms so Bruce and Hulk are fused into one. No more double personality.” Bruce grinned as he explained. “I see.. Um.. Can you change back to your mundane form though? You’re taking quite a lot of space.” You asked him carefully to not offend the green being within him.
“Sorry Aurie.. I don’t think I could do that..” He sheepishly smiled while rubbing his nape. “Well, it’s alright then.. I’ll just eat at the dining area. Enjoy the movie!” The whole time you and the professor were conversing, Loki was listening to your conversation and upon hearing that you were going to sit elsewhere, he called out to you and pulled you to sit on his lap which caught you by surprise.
“What do you have on your plate darling?” He gave you a small smile and looked at the assortments of food you had on your platter. “Just some chicken korma and pita..” You avoided eye contact with him. “Are you sure it’s fine for me to sit on you? Are you comfortable?” You had to find a way to escape from this situation. “Of course! We used to do this a lot back in Asgard.” He rested his chin on your shoulder and took a piece of the pita bread, dipping it into the korma sauce to feed you and you awkwardly accepted his offer when he fed you.
“Aww look at these two lovebirds.. Get a room, you two.” Lady Sif teased both of you, she wanted to save herself from the cringiness of your displays of affections. “Oh we will.. Once my wife here gets her fill of Indian food. Am I right dear?” The God of Mischief winked at Sif and then gazed at you playfully. You chuckled in embarrassment at his ballsy words. “Indeed, but don’t you want to watch the movie?” “I couldn’t care less about the movie Aurelia.. I’ve missed my beautiful queen and would like to spend the evening with you in privacy.” He whispered his answer and pecked your cheek sweetly. You let out a small, quick smile and continued to eat.
Shortly after you’ve finished your food, you got up to wash the plate whilst Loki washed his hands next to you. The suspense and nervousness was killing you, your heart was thumping in your chest and you knew that once you two got back to your room that your husband would address the cold shoulder you had been giving him for the past couple of weeks.
You placed the plate on the dish rack and dried your hands with the towel that hung on the oven handle. Loki approached you and held your hand, “We should go back to our room.. There is something I’d like to talk about with you.” He led you to the elevator and you could hear Thor shouting, clearly sending a message to both of you. “Keep it down lovebirds! Don’t break anything.” You blushed madly and entered the elevator, your spouse raised his hand to say goodbye to his brother.
You and Loki finally made your entry to your shared bedroom and you made sure to keep a distance from him by walking up to the windows, looking out at the evening sky, full of stars, not as mesmerizing as Asgard’s but it had its own charm. He closed the door calmly and turned to face you; your back facing him. He got closer to you and cautiously placed his hand on your shoulder instead of hugging you from behind like he usually does. The male didn’t want you to push him away again.
Thankfully, you didn’t budge when he laid his hand on you. “Aurelia.. Is there something bothering you? I’ve noticed that you’ve been quite distant.” He stargazed with you. “No, it’s nothing.. I’m probably just tired. I’m still recovering from the attack, remember?” You lied. “You’re not telling me the truth.. You’ve been rejecting my advances for two weeks now.. Why? Have I done something wrong?” He continued to pursue the subject.
“Stop it Loki. You’re overanalyzing it.” You shutted him off. “Then look into my eyes and tell me, Aurelia.” He turned you around with a miniature amount of force and you tried your best to avoid his eyes. “Tell me.. What are you hiding from me?” His brows were furrowed. “Loki! Some things are better kept as secrets.” Your words were sharp and your tone defensive. The God scoffed.
“After all that we’ve been through.. What is it? You don’t fancy being around me anymore? Does my presence annoy you? Do you want things to go back to how it was when we first got married? Is that what you want?! Tell me!” He got ahold of both of your arms and shook your body. “No! It’s nothing like that Loki!” You forcefully pushed him away, your husband was taken aback by your actions, the look of surprise present on his features.
“I just can’t tell you! I can’t.. It’s for the best..” You shuddered, your voice fell into a soft whisper as the emotions came flooding in. In the spur of the moment, Loki slammed his fist on the wall, making you jump. “You know what? Fine! Don’t tell me! Suit yourself.” He walked towards the door frustratedly but you spat out.
“I’m with a child.” It made him stop in his tracks and did a double take. “What?” He turned to look at you. “I’m pregnant..” His face was unreadable as he walked slowly to you. “I didn’t want to tell you because I knew you wouldn’t let me fight.” “How long have you known?” He interrupted. “Two weeks.. Ever since the scan..” You answered, it felt like you couldn’t breath, the situation was intense.
“You should’ve told me..” The man was a few inches away from you now. “I want to fight.. If you knew, you’d be keeping me in the deepest of bunkers. I do not wish to stay back and spectate while you run around putting your life in danger. “Shh..” Loki hushed you and went on to cup your face in his large, slender hands. “You’re safe darling.. You’re safe as long as I am alive. And the thought of you.. And this child...” He placed his hand on your stomach. “... will keep me safe.” You didn’t know whether his words meant that you were allowed to go to battle or the opposite but you didn’t mention anything and let your husband engulf you in a warm embrace.
One week later, you were all on guard for Amora’s next wave of battle, Nat, Bruce and Clint had been reporting everything that seemed suspicious on your radar but none of them were fatal and harmful threats. Sam had been on aerial patrol all across Atlanta whilst Stephen had been teleporting back and forth between Kamar Taj and the Avengers Compound to oversee and inform the team of any casualties. Tony and Peter worked on some weapons and machinery that could prove to be of good use in the next round against the Enchantress and her battalion. As for the rest of you, you all trained as usual, your knowledge and skills with your powers were increasing by practice, thanks to Wanda teaching you the ways of Midgardian magic and how it's just as powerful and potent as the sorcery from other realms.
In other news, you and Loki had announced to the team about your pregnancy, you’ve received mixed reactions from them. Some were stoked and some were concerned, having a child in the middle of an inter-realm war was risky. Especially when the person who’s carrying the child was first handedly involved in it.
An in-house medical team was brought in, Tony insisted the reason why he called them in was because Bruce ‘needed backup’ in the treatment room but everyone knows that he did it for the sake of you and your monthly needed checkups for the baby. Your first ultrasound had revealed the estimated age of the child, 14 weeks. You weren’t in your first trimester after all. You and Loki were expecting a bump to show around this time as per the doctor had told you though it doesn’t look like it’d be popping any sooner.
You had just finished combat training with Steve and being the chivalrous man he is, you suspected that he went easy on you. “Steve, it seems that you’re going soft on me. You used to be a lot of fun.” The man could only chuckle. “Well ma’am, I’m afraid you gotta get used to that as long as you are pregnant.” You rolled your eyes at him, he had always been a gentleman.
“Oh please, Steve.. I am pregnant, but I’m not weak.” “I know, I know.. But I can’t risk anything. Your husband’s watching our every move.” He stretched out while moving his head to Loki’s direction. “Did he threaten you prior to our training?” You snickered in disbelief. “Not exactly a threat.. More of a…warning?” The blonde haired man smiled at you.
Directly before your feet could make their way to your spouse, the alarms started blaring and Natasha’s voice was heard through the loudspeakers.
“Attention to all Avengers, report to headquarters immediately. I repeat, attention to all Avengers, report to headquarters immediately.”
You turned to Steve and Bucky, as well as to the Warriors Three who were already heading for the elevator. You ran towards Loki and grasped his hand as you both followed the others into the lift. Despite knowing that you were pregnant, you were grateful that Loki hasn’t forbidden you to join the fight. You and Loki had changed into your battle uniforms within a split second by using magic, that was one of the perks that came with being a master sorcerer.
Stepping foot into the headquarters, the scene was less scattered and chaotic as compared to the first attack. Everyone was prepared for the worst but they were well-equipped with newer, stronger technology and weapons thanks to Stark and Parker. Strange was there while Wong stayed back at Kamar Taj in worries that Amora and her army would come to attack them once more. You walked towards the rest of the team and listened to the war strategy that was being explained by Banner.
“Alright guys, the attack is centralized this time. There are a few portals coming out and they are a little bit north from where the Atlanta portal surged last time. The amount of soldiers would be bigger and the damage is going to be worse than what they’ve done before. Be alert, don’t let your guard down and watch each other’s backs.” The green man nodded to you as he finished.
“Circle around everyone.” You ordered them whilst summoning all the power you have to put a protection spell on them. After you were done, Tony asked if everybody was ready and he glanced at you. “You ready Aurie?” “Ready as I’ll ever be.” You answered confidently. “Strange, open the portal.” He turned to look at the sorcerer. The doctor opened a portal right in front of you and you were the first to enter, the place was peculiar, nothing like you’ve ever seen before. “What is this place?” You questioned in confusion.
“It’s the Mirror Dimension, no one is able to get out without a sling ring. I’m sorry Aurie.” Strange explained to you and as you turned, the portal was decreasing in size. “Wait no! No no no, Strange!” You sprinted towards the portal but it was too late, the last person you saw was Loki as you were left in a void filled with mirrors.
“We can’t let her fight.” Loki stressed, the whole team was there except for you. You were in the treatment room, getting your first ultrasound scan. “She’s got the perseverance and drive to fight. I’m sure she’ll be able to protect herself.” Wanda defended you while folding her arms. “Yes, but the child in her womb doesn’t. It’s an entrance for the enemies to ruin her from the inside.”
Even Wong was there and he was on Loki’s side. “The reason she got hurt during battle was because a mage saw a way to attack her. She isn’t weak, but something connected to her is.” Stephen sighed. “My hypothesis is that the fetus is like a pendrive. Anyone has access to it and is able to transmit viruses into a computer by transferring corrupted files into it. In this case, the Enchantress and her army is ‘anyone’, Aurelia is the computer and dark magic is the virus.” Strange added.
“But why attack Aurie?” The Black Widow inquired. “Because Amora knows that she is my weakness. Our weakness. Without her ancient protection spell, most of us wouldn’t stand a chance against those sorcerers. And she knows that if she gets Aurelia, she would be able to make me kneel in front of her.” Loki answered the question. “So what do you suggest?” Tony raised an eyebrow.
“Strange, are you able to conceal her in a dimension? A dimension that is difficult to access nor escape.” Your spouse turned his head to the intelligent sorcerer. Strange gave a specific look at Wong. “There’s one.. But she’d be confused and loopy if she’s kept in there for too long. Haven’t sent a pregnant woman into it before so I don’t know if there are any other known side effects.” Strange replied. “It’s much safer than having her join us in the field.” Loki claimed.
“Alright, who’s voting to keep her contained?” Tony held his hand up, followed by Steve, Bucky, Bruce, Clint, Strange, Wong, Volstagg, Hogun, Sam, Peter, and Loki. “It’s a majority vote. She’s not fighting.” The man concluded. “Are you sure that she’ll be safe in that dimension? What if she’s intelligent enough to get out of it?” Wanda was unsure of the security of the dimension. “Yes, I’m sure. She probably doesn’t know much about our magic. Don’t worry, she’ll be alright.” Strange assured her. He was positive that Loki’s suggestion would work. Unless, the Enchantress finds a way in.
In a world of fame, riches and influence, there was only one thing that Thomas William Hiddleston didn’t have and it was love. No no, don’t get it wrong, he was loved and admired by plenty of women - and men as well, but he only used relationships as a publicity stunt, a means to keep his relevance in a fast paced world. No strings attached. That was his mantra each time he got into a relationship, but his flings would always want more from him. A long-term relationship usually, and he just can’t do it. Where can he find people who are willing to get into a short relationship with him and understand the boundaries?
Unbelievably, a business partner of his, introduced him to a ‘hire an actor’ agency that would let him handpick any actors or actresses to be whatever he wants, in this case, his girlfriend and you just happen to catch his eye with your impressive portfolio.
“Three months and it’s over.” That’s what he told you the first time you met. This would be an easy task, you’ve done this before, how hard could it be right?
genuinely if you cannot get your drawing to look how you want, and the process is making you feel terrible about yourself as an artist, sometimes the only cure is to take a break for a few days. sometimes a week. look at art you like. figure out why you like it. watch kiki’s delivery service.
ur brain just needs a system reset. go back to the drawing after a good night’s sleep, drink water, figure out if you want to keep working on the original or just start fresh. you need a fresh pair of eyes but more than that you need a brain that is aware of the fact that not being able to convey what you want on the screen at the moment is Not a terrible thing. a brain that remembers this is Just a painting and doing what you want with it is possible.
this happens to me constantly. and every time it happens i think that im never going to be able to draw again. and every time i just need to get away from art for a while, and sleep, and eat food, and go outside, and admire other people’s art for being art and not just fuel for diminishing my own abilities.
This honestly applies to any kind of art creator, as a fiction writer myself, I LOVEEEEEE typing my ideas and stories down but sometimes I'll get to a point where I feel like I don't make any sense and the story is blegh.
I found out that although I am having fun with my creative outlet, sometimes I need to take a break and sort my plots out. Take some time for myself and just calm down. It's so important to prioritize your well-being so you don't actually break down ❤
T/w: This chapter contains several acts of violence, arguments and mentions of sharp objects & firearms, and foul language, read at your own discretion.
Author's note: I hope this chapter lives up to your expectations! My laptop has been going crazy with the amount of time I'm spending while writing this fic. Gotta have the batteries replaced soon TvT
As both of you arrived at the headquarters you could see that the whole team was all over the place, Nat and Bruce were analyzing the attack, Steve was communicating through his earpiece and Tony was already in his Iron Man armor with a suited up Spiderman by his side. “What’s the report?” Loki let go of your hand and you instantly went to the windows to analyze the situation yourself. There was a portal opened in the sky, sorcerers, mages and cosmic beings pouring out of it.
“There are less than five portals opened throughout Earth, they reported witches and wizards as well as monsters attacking the people. S.H.I.E.L.D has pushed out some of their agents onto the field.” Natasha explained as simply as she could while she typed on the computer. “I just got news from T’Challa. The reason he’s not here is because Wakanda had been attacked as soon as the jet flew out of the hidden zone. The place is compromised.” Tony conveyed the message he had received seconds ago. “Less than five portals open? I thought that witch wanted to start a war? Only five portals to cover the surface of the Earth?” Clint questioned
“Don’t underestimate her, I think she has a bigger plan than what we ought to believe.” Your brows furrowed. “We need to go out there now. These helpless people are in danger.” You turned around and pulled out two of your daggers, each in one hand. “She’s right, F.R.I.D.A.Y, keep an eye on everything that is happening. Notify us through our earpieces as soon as you’ve received any news.” He handed you an earpiece of your own and Loki came over to you to help you put it on. “You got it boss.” F.R.I.D.A.Y answered.
Just then, a portal opened and Doctor Strange came into the headquarters alone, “The New York Sanctum has been compromised. These mages really know what they’re doing. Killed every single understudy that I have.” He breathed heavily, assuming that he had been fighting for a while back in his sanctum. “Where’s Wong?” You asked. “He’s in Kamar Taj with the other masters, these sorcerers are really keen on destroying the place. But they’re holding up pretty well.” The anxiety was starting to build inside of you. Amora was targeting the sanctums that hold the highest concentration of sorcerers on Midgard, it was just a matter of time until the headquarters would be attacked.
“Alright everyone gather around now! I need to protect your minds from those sorcerers’ powers before you go out and fight.” The team gathered around you in a circle, except for Loki, Wanda, Strange and Vision and you began to focus all your powers into the mind protection spell. Once you were done, everyone got into position. “Sam, you get out there first and give us an overview of the area.” Tony sent out the first Avenger to investigate the damage and head count of each attacker on the field. Without wasting any time, the Falcon who was already at the rooftop took his orders and flew out, hovering over the jeopardized areas, being careful to not get too close to the portal.
“Anything Sam?” Tony asked. “It’s bad, Tone.. Really bad.. But these bitches are only taking out civilians. Pussies.” He scanned through the area even more and saw that some of Amora’s men were headed towards the Avengers Compound. “Oop heads up yall, they’re coming your way now.” He warned before he was attacked by one of the sorcerers that had the ability to fly. “Woah, I need back up! Stat!” Everyone heard his request and Tony quickly asked Strange to open a portal for them to get to where Sam is located. Just as you were all about to go, another portal opened and you could see Wong in front of it, his background was in shambles and you heard the sound of people fighting.
“Wong?” Loki knitted his eyebrows, his forehead creasing. “We need backup. Most of the students were killed or injured by these savages. We’re afraid that there will be a bigger wave coming. Quick!” He looked behind him to make sure that his surroundings were safe. You knew that they needed at least one person who was well-versed with cosmic magic to help in both Kamar Taj and Atlanta which meant that you and Loki would have to be separated. You held onto Loki’s hand and gazed up at him. Although you didn’t say a word, your husband knew that you were worried and didn’t want to separate ways with him, neither did he but he had no choice other than to consider the circumstances.
“I’m going with you.” He said to Wong and you immediately said no. “I’m going with you.” Your spouse shook his head. “Aurelia, you need to help the others, they need you. I’ll be safe in the presence of the masters and you’ll be safe with Thor.” The man looked at his brother. “Please keep her safe.” “I will brother.” Thor nodded his head as he swung Mjolnir around. “Alright, alright, ten to Kamar Taj, nine stay here.” Tony cleared up the air upon Wong’s sudden change of plans. They were all unsure of where the Enchantress would start the war but it turned out to be scattered so the Iron Man had to improvise.
“Aurie, Thor and the gang, Steve and Bucky, you guys help Sam out. Me and the rest are gonna help defend Kamar Taj.” You nodded in agreement. It was crucial for them to defend the temple since it houses many sorcerers that could provide aid during this mystical war against Amora and her troops. You gave Loki one last meaningful look before you went into Strange’s portal and onto the streets of Atlanta. You prayed to the Norns that everyone’s comes back in good shape and with victorious news.
Walking out of the portal, Loki was alert with his surroundings immediately, hearing the sounds of people struggling and giving orders out to one another. The whole group didn’t waste any time as they went straight into battle. They exited the safe place and were instantly assailed by the mages and sorcerers who were on Amora’s side. “Show time guys.” Tony spoke as they began to fight off the enemies.
Peter webbed some of the foes to ease the way for Iron Man’s attacks. Vision and Wanda floated up to strike the bad guys from above, their powers proven to be extremely useful in defeating them. Clint together with Strange used the portals the doctor made to shoot arrows at the rebels. Wong banded up with Kamar Taj’s students to use their sorcery skills to fight off the Dark Elves that came onto them. Nat with her impressive combat skills came onto the enemies with her bullets and self defense moves while Bruce had already transformed into the Hulk and mashing the cosmic beings into a mush of blood and bones. Loki on the other hand used his magic and talents with daggers and knives to slash his victims and enchant them to be on the Avengers side, with a flair of mischievousness of course.
But there was something off somewhere, although these enemies put up a good fight, they were pretty average and seemed inexperienced compared to the foes he had fought in the past. They were amateurs. It didn’t add up, why would Amora send weak, ill-skilled soldiers to invade Kamar Taj? Most of these rogues weren’t even using that much magic to fight them, all of the magic he’s seen being used by them were simply parlor tricks. They used the weapons that they have more frequently than magic.
Then it dawned on him, the Enchantress’ mission wasn’t to invade Kamar Taj, all these attacks were just a distraction. He knew his ex very well, there would always be something bigger behind the covers. If these attacks were just a cover, where would the real mission be? Atlanta! She wanted to break the team up and once she knew where you were exactly, she’d focus there. Why? Because she knew that you are Loki’s weakness, something she could use to overthrow him or make him surrender. “Shit, F.R.I.D.A.Y, details on Atlanta and Aurelia now.” He connected to the headquarters and communicated to the AI that was manning the place. “On it!” F.R.I.D.A.Y answered.
After the deaths of all the enemies, the portal that was in Nepal’s skies were closed and everyone came together to look at Loki who was still waiting on F.R.I.D.A.Y’s report. “F.R.I.D.A.Y, a report on Atlanta please.” Tony spoke to his artificial intelligent helper. “I’m sorry Tony, but it seems that I can’t reach out to any of them and the satellite over the area is disrupted by some kind of force. I’ve been trying to connect to them but there was no response.” The female voice spoke out. Tony panicked quietly before his head whipped towards Strange. “We need to go back now.”
You and the rest of the Avengers went out of Strange’s portal and initiated the search for Sam. This would be the first time you are separated from Loki at such a long distance, it made you more aware and careful since your husband wasn’t there to protect and back you up. Unlike Loki’s group, your group was rapidly targeted by the sorcerers. Luckily for you, you were accompanied by your fellow Asgardians, Lady Sif, Fandrall, Volstagg, Hogun and your brother in law, Thor. They were armed with Asgardian weapons that could provide much more damage as compared to the Midgardian weapons that Steve, Bucky and Sam had. Though, you can’t argue the fact that Captain America’s vibranium shield and Bucky’s vibranium arm could almost measure up to the quality of the Asgardian weapons you had.
All of you fought hard to defend the vulnerable civilians against these foreign cosmic creatures. Thor with Mjolnir, Lady Sif and the Warriors Three with their spirits to defend Asgard, Steve with his patriotic courage; throwing and flinging his shield towards a group of mages while Bucky used his war equipment and durable arm to attack those men. When you had a little bit of space, you focused your senses to find Sam but instead, you heard an infant’s cry. It came from a stroller that had been stranded on the side of a street; the mother’s body not too far from there. “Guys, cover for me!” You saw an army of monsters coming towards you, they were of large sizes and the stroller would obviously be trampled by them if you didn’t do something.
“Aurelia, wait!” Thor shouted as you sped up towards the swarm, it was a suicide mission but you had to save the child by hook or by crook. You jumped onto the parked cars and landed right in front of the stroller. You took the child in one arm and hugged it as tight as you could though it was a bit too late for you to run away. Just as a large axe was about to hit you, your reflexes worked fast and you have created a magic bubble to protect you and the baby. The elves and ogres didn’t stop stomping their fists on your bubble, determined to kill you. Their hits started to weaken the bubble, you didn’t give up and you grunted. You look at the baby in your embrace and he gives you the motivation to defend yourself.
Right before your group could help you out, your powers bursted like an explosion and killed most of the monsters that had surrounded you and the child, making your teammates halt in their steps. Thor squinted his eyes, his breath was taken away by the strength of your powers. He had underestimated you, you were a force to be reckoned with after all. You looked around at the damage you had done and one particular elf caught your eye, he spoke to himself, “We’ve found her, Your Majesty.”
Knowing well that the Enchantress’ powers were unlimited, you suspected that the elf was communicating with his leader through telepathy. He didn’t survive for long though since Sif decided to slice him in half before he could do anything else. “Hey guys! Where yall at?” You heard Sam ask in your ear. “We’re near Peachtree Street. In front of, uhh, Matt’s Deli.” Steve responded. “Aight, I’m comin’ your way.” Sam announced.
As soon as the Falcon came over, you walked towards him, “Are you alright?” You asked, worried if he was harmed. “Yeah I’m good. A couple of those Voldemorts came after me.” He explained what his situation was. “Thank God your lil spell worked. Wait, who’s baby is that?” He was distracted by the child that you were holding. “It’s your next mission. Bring this child to any rooftop that is safe. I can’t fight efficiently with an infant in my hands.” You gave the boy to Sam gently, smiling softly at the adorable baby, your motherly instincts showing. Sam saluted you and held onto the child carefully before flying off to somewhere safe.
“Alright, back to business. Let’s kill these monsters and witches.” Bucky looked ahead of you, there were more waves coming towards your team. You, already losing all of your blades and daggers, have to resort to your mystical powers to go against those creatures. “Let’s go.” You spoke, with a smirk on your face. Thor and his companions shouted out, full of energy and enthusiasm as your group charged forward into the battalion of cosmic beings.
You didn’t realize how long you and your heroic friends had engaged in the battle but you could see that it was no longer crowded as before, a large sum of your foes had been killed. It gave you a chance to take a breather and to look at the atmosphere. You came to the realization that there was a large, transparent green dome covering the city. The only entrance and exit being the portal that brought out all these rogues into Atlanta. In the moment of distraction, you did not notice a mage approaching you and when you did, it was too late and he placed his hand on your stomach.
The golden glow on your hands dimmed down as you felt a surge of pain coursing through your body, especially from your abdomen. “Hello little one.” The disgusting looking mage evilly smiled; his teeth were rotting and his tongue was black, his skin gray as ash, wrinkles covered him entirely. You moaned in pain as it felt like he was twisting you from the inside, tears welled up in your eyes, you were suffering and confused, what was he doing? You have never felt this kind of pain before, especially from a mage. Your agonized scream was heard from Thor who was still fighting. Seeing that his sister in law was in danger, he quickly threw Mjolnir towards your direction but he missed by half an inch when the mage sensed the hammer heading towards him.
As if a switch had been flicked, all of the enemies retreated, as well as the mage that tormented you. Right after they withdrew, you fell to the ground kneeling. Loki and the other half of the team arrived a tad bit too late and he was panic-stricken upon seeing you kneeling on the ground whilst touching your stomach. “Aurelia!” He ran towards you just in time to capture you before you fell face first to the ground. “What happened?! Who hurt you?” He cupped your face anxiously. “I’m fine.” You answered, your voice shaky.
Tony inspected the area, seeing all the mass destruction Amora’s army had caused. The green dome that you saw had disappeared as well as the portal. “Goddammit. F.R.I.D.A.Y, assessment of deaths in Atlanta please.” He asked his assistant. “There’s approximately 800 civilians killed and a thousand badly injured and harmed sir.” The AI informed. “Shit. This is bad..” He huffed out, retracting his headgear.
Back at the Avengers compound, Tony, Steve, Nat and Pepper were busy handling the calls from various authorities throughout America. Turns out, those five portals that Amora had opened were in the skies of Wakanda, Atlanta, Kamar Taj, and two in New York, one at New York’s Sanctum Sanctorum and one at the S.H.I.E.L.D headquarters. The army of monsters, mages and sorcerers had destroyed public buildings as well as created massive damage to the streets where the attacks had happened. Not forgetting to mention the lives that were lost and the hundreds of people who are suffering over their trauma.
Loki on the other hand sat next to you while you were laying inside of a scanner, similar to an MRI machine that helps detect any internal wounds; Bruce was manning the device. “Any problem?” Your husband asked curiously. “Nothing out of the ordinary here. It might take a little longer for the machine to process the scan, we’ve never used this on Asgardians or aliens. I’ll inform you when the results come out.” The professor answered as Loki helped you get down out of the device. “Do you really think this is necessary?” You questioned their decision to scan your body. “I mean, Steve saw that you were in excruciating pain back there but we couldn’t see anything appear physically, no bruise, no scratch, nothing. We’re worried that the mage might’ve done something to you from the inside.” Bruce justified the decision.
Seconds later, Thor came into the treatment room to check on you. He had been equally worried after seeing and hearing you scream your lungs out earlier. When Loki’s eyes met with his brother’s, he speedwalked to him and held a conjured dagger to his brother’s throat. “Loki!” You yelled, warning him to behave himself but he ignored you. “I trusted you to protect her. You failed!” He was brimming with anger. “Loki, no! Stop it. I’m fine..” You held onto his shoulder. “There’s barely a scratch on my skin. And I feel completely fine right now.. Stop this madness in an instant.” You scolded him. “Thor tried to hit him with the Mjolnir. The mage dodged it. It wasn’t his fault. I got distracted and put myself in an exposed state.” You cleared things up and only then did he let Thor go, the dagger disappearing from his hold.
“I shouldn’t have let you join the battle..” He sighed. “Don’t be ridiculous. It was my choice to fight.” You argued. “There’s nothing you can do to stop me.” You added.
“Okay, so let me get this straight, this witch, your ex-girlfriend, Amora, opened five portals over our allies’ headquarters to distract us and separate you and Aurie?” Tony was in disbelief. “Is she always this petty? Is this a jealous strike? We were told that her powers were a big threat to the universe and she had overtaken eight realms out of nine, including Asgard, yet she’s taking her sweet sweet time to invade Earth?” Tony paused for a moment. “I’m not asking for her to take over Earth at all but good God, wouldn’t it be faster and easier for her to just let all her soldiers out and fight us to death instead of attacking us in rounds?” The man couldn’t wrap his hand around Amora’s plans.
“She treats this as if it’s some kind of game..” The Black Widow crossed her arms over her chest.
“It’s because it is. At least for her. She likes the push and pull.” Loki interrupted. “She is just like me. Except, she is full of vengeance and hatred. Especially after my father had her banished from Asgard. And with me betraying the pact we made, that must’ve rubbed salt in her wound.” The God continued.
“And why is she after your queen?” Thor asked.
“Because she knows my weaknesses are the people that I love and cherish with all of my heart. My theory is that she probably wants to take Aurelia away from me and make her a hostage until she gets what she wants.” Loki presumed, you weren’t surprised if that’s what Amora is planning to do, the sorceress seemed to be the kind to pull those kinds of acts.
“And what does the Enchantress want, really?” Steve leaned into the table.
“Power, lots and lots of it.” Your husband’s voice went dark.
“Your Majesty, this mage has come to bear good news and information for you..” Ymir announced to Amora who was sitting on Asgard’s throne, behind him was the very same mage who had inflicted pain on you.
“Your Majesty, my queen. I have a crucial detail that might come in handy for our next plan..” He knelt in front of her with his head bowed.
“What is it that you have?” The Enchantress raised an eyebrow, wondering whether the information was as useful as he claimed.
“I have come in contact with Loki’s wife, an Oralfian named Aurelia. I assume you know who she is?” The mage inquired.
“Yes I do.. And?” She was getting impatient with the old man.
“I believe she is with a child, Your Majesty. I sensed another being from within her and when I touched her, everything was confirmed. I think this news could be used to weaken her in addition to what you already have.” Amora sat up straight and wickedly grinned.
“So the two had already spent some time together it seems.. Thank you, wise man. I would most definitely use it to our kingdom’s advantage. You may go now.” She dismissed the mage.
Once the elderly man had left the throne room, Lorelei, her right hand man, turned to her sister. “What is coming next sister?”
“We shall wait a bit more, make them feel comfortable and lull them into a false sense of security. Then, when they least expect it, we strike.” The self-appointed ruler of Asgard grinned. You, Loki and your bairn would be safe for a little while until the Enchantress strikes again.
I've just heard the news that Queen Elizabeth II has died. My condolences to the people of Great Britain and the whole of UK. May her soul rest in peace 🕊

Word count: 2.4k
T/w: This chapter contains explicit smut (oral sex; m receiving, choking, shower sex, handjobs, unprotected sex, creampie) and foul language, read at your own discretion.
Author's note: For Chapter 4 onwards, I'll be taking a few days to finish up in order to give y'all the best storyline and I also need to do some research for the characters that will come out in the next chapters. I hope you guys would be patient!
“Well, since we’re all sweaty.. I propose a shower? Together?” He squeezed your shoulder and gave you a naughty grin.
“Always so mischievous, even in these times.” You pinched his side while chuckling.
“Not my fault my wife looks so enticing after training.” Scrunching your nose, you couldn’t resist how cheeky Loki is. He’d always find a way to make up to you after pissing you off or making you upset.
You two made your way towards your quarters, thankful that each room had its own bathroom, for you didn’t want to disturb the others who were living in the same building with all the noise you and Loki would make.
Reaching your room, Loki closed the door as fast as he could before pushing you against the wall and kissing your neck, making you giggle.
“Someone’s eager.” You playfully teased him.
“Let’s get you out of these clothes shall we?” He began to undress you, starting with your gray t-shirt, revealing your sports bra. The first time you wore them, it felt so comfortable, you wished they were available in Asgard.
“Great, one of these contraptions again.” Loki groaned as he saw your undergarment. He hated sports bras, no offense, it made your breasts look amazing, but it was hard to remove from you, especially after a workout or training session.
“Oh come on, they’re not that bad. You liked seeing me in them.” You chuckled softly.
“Yes I do, but if I had a choice right now, I’d choose a pair of flimsy lace brassieres over these.” He didn’t have the patience to strugglingly remove the bra you were wearing so he used his magic to remove both of your clothes and undergarments, leaving you and him stark naked against the wall.
“My Norns, Loki. What’s gotten into you? You’re being hasty.” You looked at him with a surprised expression. He wasn’t usually this impatient when it comes to making love, he loved the chase, the push and pull, but this time, he didn’t want to waste his time.
“I apologize dear.. But I’m really needy for you right now.” He cupped your face and kissed it desperately. Before you knew it, he had thrown you over his shoulder and carried you to the bathroom.
“Goodness gracious Loki!” You laughed out loud, this was another side of Loki that you’ve never seen before. He had always been romantic and sensual in bed but this time, he was treating you like a ragdoll and you seemed to like it as well.
Placing you on the bathroom counter, he left you for a second to turn on the shower, making sure that the water warms up before you two get inside. He returned to your arms and began kissing you, soft pecks all over your face and neck. You bit on your bottom lip when you felt his thumb grazing over your nipple, sending shivers down your spine.
“Loki, darling.” You pulled him off your neck to look at his face. He was indeed a very good-looking King. You haven’t told him or even yourself that you love him, you kept convincing yourself that you cared for him because he was your lawfully wedded husband and the King of Asgard. Truthfully, you wanted to tell yourself that you love him, as Loki, not because of your obligations as his Queen nor his position as King.
“I think I’ve fallen for you..” You confessed how you felt for him and to your amazement, your spouse didn’t react like you expected. He was calm and composed, as if he had already predicted that you would tell him sooner or later. Instead of saying anything back, Loki kissed you tenderly, which confused you even further. What you didn’t know was, he felt the same way as you did, but he had never experienced anything remotely similar to this feeling, not even with Amora, so he decided to divert the subject and connected your lips together.
He was the first to pull away to tell you, “I thought I was the only one feeling those emotions, Aurelia.” He smiled while putting your stray hairs out of your face.
“That’s good to hear, dear.” You cupped his face, stroking his cheek with your thumb. Loki relished the comforting feeling the gesture provided him. “Is that why you’ve been awfully protective of me?” You tilted your head curiously.
He awkwardly chuckled, “Guilty as charged.” He raised both of his hands.
“I appreciate it, Loki. I really do. But sometimes I have to take charge too. I’m not a damsel in distress who needs saving. I do need assistance, though, that is as far as it goes.” You placed both of your hands on his chest, trailing it down to his well sculpted abs.
“Sometimes you need to let me take the lead too..” You spoke with a sultry voice and your hands traveled south to hold onto his member, slowly stroking it while smirking at your husband.
“You are sly as a fox, pet.” He smirked before his face changed into a pleasured one, biting his bottom lip whilst you tighten your grip on him.
“Norns, doll. Where did you learn how to handle a man like this?” He rhetorically asked but you took this chance to tease him with your answer.
“I’ve been with a couple of Oralfians back home before we were betrothed to each other. There’s so much you haven’t seen and experienced from me yet.” You whispered in his ear seductively and the image of you being with others before him made Loki’s jaw clench. He was jealous, call it selfish but you were his and he doesn’t plan to share you with anyone.
“Really? Then how about..” His hand began caressing your hair before he gently circled them around your neck gently, “..you show me how you satisfied those men in the past?” You smiled widely and rolled your eyes, enjoying the sensation he was giving you.
You nodded, your eyes a bit teary as he took you down from the counter. Thank heavens there was a mat on the floor already, or else, you would have aching knees. Facing his growing length, you looked up at the God and began to stroke him again. “That’s it, be a good girl and pleasure your King.”
When you started sucking on his bright red tip, you could hear him groan in pleasure. It motivated you to take more of his shaft into your mouth. “Fuck~ There you go, darling. Just like that..” He breathlessly spoke. “No hands now. Take it all in.” He grabbed a fistful of your hair to gradually guide you into taking all of him.
You took your hands off of his member and placed them on your lap. Once your nose had touched the base of his cock, that was when you began choking and he could feel it too, he managed to blurt some words out before he moaned. “Hold it in kitten. Breath through your nose.” You calmed down and learnt to control your gag reflex, tears falling from the lack of air but it was pleasurable for you that you began dripping your dew on the mat.
You held your position for several seconds until Loki let go of his grip on you. You continued slobbering him up, hollowing your cheeks as you made him feel good. “Gosh you are doing so well.. Such a pretty view to look at.” His eyes were hazed with lust, you hummed upon hearing his compliments.
Once he was sated, your spouse pulled you up to meet his eyes. “Such a mess, doll..” His eyes averted down to your thighs and he noticed that you were basically drench with arousal. “It seems that my beautiful wife enjoys using her mouth to please me.. Am I right darling?” He snickered and began rubbing your slit with two of his fingers to which you moaned. “You’re so wet and sticky down here.. I don’t think I have to prepare you for my dick anymore.” You whimpered and held onto his forearm tightly. You were so turned on to the point where you couldn’t form words properly and the only thing that came out of you was a small, “Please.”
“Please what, sweetheart?” His rubbing unceasing. Loki was entertained by your struggles, you looked so cute to him. Body arching, breath irregular and eyes completely shut. “Use your words. Tell me what you want.” He wanted you to beg, tell him to fuck you senselessly like no one has ever before.
“Please fuck me with dick Loki! I want it!” You whined and cried out. “How bad do you want it, kitten?” He kissed your cheek and jaw while constantly rubbing your slit at a static pace.
“So bad Loki! I need it inside of me now! Fuck me like there’s no tomorrow.” Your head was dizzy with arousal at the moment and you didn’t even realize that he had lifted you up with your legs wrapped up around his waist, his hands supporting you on your bottom.
The two of you were already inside the shower stall when he gently leaned you on the wall, away from the pouring water. Loki started kissing you hungrily as he positioned himself at your entrance and with one thrust, he had invaded your cavern. “Oh fuck! Loki~” Your breath hitched but you proceeded to giggle at him. It felt so good, so full, as if you were losing your mind.
“I’m so crazy over you.” You gazed into his eyes, it was magnificent how much your relationship had grown. Who would’ve known that you two would be indulging in shower sex right that moment. You despised him, he was annoyed with you, but life finds a way.
“And I, extremely infatuated with you.” He rested his forehead on your and began to pick up his pace, making your crease your forehead and moan. “Loki~ It feels so good..” You held on to him tightly, your hands on his nape. You couldn’t tell if it was the steam or your bodies sweating but everything glistened.
Your husband took you away from the wall and began bouncing you up and down his length. “Oh fuck.. Oh fuck..” You let out a string of curses at the motion, nuzzling your face in the crook of his neck. His pace was relentless at that point and he was quickly pushing you over the edge while busy chasing his own climax.
“I’m cumming Loki!” You whimpered. “Go on dear, I’m close too.” He admitted as he groaned at how much tighter you got around him.
You arched your back as your orgasm hit you like a tonne of bricks. Loki followed suit after a few more thrusts, painting your insides white with his seed.
The two of you panted and tried to catch your breath after your intense lovemaking. You hugged him tightly and stayed in that position for a while until one of you broke the silence with a chuckle, it was you. “Shall we actually take a shower now?”
“Yes of course.” He grinned, slowly putting you down but your legs were wobbly and you almost fell. Thankfully he was there to catch you. “Careful, Aurelia.” You laughed at your clumsiness and hugged your spouse, tiptoeing to give him a sweet peck on the lips.
You two took a nice, warm shower, cleaning each other from the day’s sweat. You helped him scrub his back and even cheekily pinch his butt. He had a nice backside and you couldn’t help but manhandle him, he quietly enjoyed the gesture despite acting annoyed by it. He shampooed your hair and made sure to massage your head too, he knew how stressed you must’ve been, trying to adapt with life on Midgard, together with him disrupting your training sessions as well.
After the long shower with your husband, you sat on the bed and dried your hair up, smiling as you saw him get out of the shower after you. His hair was wet, towel draping around his hips and he looked so fresh.
“Why are you smiling like that? Admiring your extremely dashing husband?” He smirked as he pushed you down on the bed.
“Loki! We just did it in the shower.” You whispered, a big smile on your face.
“That was round one my darling. We’re off to round two.” You laughed at your husband’s insatiable desire for you.
“Am I really that irresistible to you? Or are you just being a horny devil?” You cupped his face.
“You’re both, my Sigyn.” Sigyn? That’s new, the nickname made your heart swell. The name was only to be used when a man values his woman greatly. It meant ‘victorious girlfriend or companion’. It also symbolizes loyalty, compassion and faithfulness in a woman. A word to never be used lightly.
“I’m your Sigyn?” You asked, unsure of what he meant by that pet name. For all you know, it could’ve been a slip of tongue.
“Yes. And I mean it with my whole heart.” He pecked your nose.
“You’ve made a new man out of me Aurelia. You gave me a new goal in life, I was always seeking for my father’s reassurance but you showed me that the only reassurance I needed was from myself. You taught me to embrace myself, I do not have to be like Thor. Even if I am the opposite of him, I am still his equal.” He affectionately gazed at you. His blue eyes and dark wispy lashes, penetrating into your soul.
“I lov-” Right before he could utter those three words, sirens began blaring, knocking you two out of your romantic daze.
“Attention to all Avengers, suit up and report to the headquarters. I repeat, suit up and report to the headquarters immediately!” Steve’s voice was heard throughout the building.
You quickly changed into your combat clothes, it matched Loki’s color scheme but it was designed differently. It was a leather tunic that fitted your body perfectly with golden holsters that hold daggers and blades for your usage. You even wore a headpiece that could double as a weapon with the horns that pointed upwards. Putting on your boots, you looked at Loki worryingly. This was your first ever war and you hoped that this wouldn’t be your last.
Holding his hand tightly, both of you rushed towards the headquarters that was two levels above the quarters. Through the large glass windows, you could see a swarm of flying objects coming out of a dark portal in the sky. Prepare for your first battle.
T/w: This chapter contains several acts of violence, implied smut, arguments and mentions of sharp objects, read at your own discretion.
Author's note: This chapter is a bit short and meh, I apologize TvT But I promise the next chapters are gonna be good!
Amora tapped on the table as she was surrounded by her associates, many of them are rogues from each realm, dreaming that someday they’ll be able to rule their respective worlds.
“What are we stalling for Amora? We have Asgard in our hands, the power of the universe lies in our hands.” Lorelei, her sister, questioned why they weren’t attacking Midgard already.
“It’s not as easy as it is sister.. They’ve teleported to Midgard, they must have a plan.” The Enchantress answered.
“Who cares? They’re fighting against us, supreme beings! Midgardians will never be able to stop us.” The red headed Asgardian rebutted.
“They are not just a bunch of Midgardians, Lorelei. Midgard houses a few of the most powerful sorcerers in this cosmic universe..” Amora paused.
“And they also have three of the Infinity Stones in their possession.” She slammed her fist on the marble table, cracking it in the middle.
“Well then, shall we look for the other three? We’ve already conquered the whole universe, it would be an easy task.” One of the rogues from Niflheim suggested.
“No. Let’s not steer from our original path shall we? We need to hatch a plan on how to handle those Midgardians, the so-called Avengers.” Amora sneered.
“So what are your plans?” Lorelei inquired.
“We’ll attack them in waves, make them feel a false sense of security. Use our abilities to ignite fear out of them.” The woman smirked evilly.
Back in the Avengers facility, the team had finally assembled and you had the pleasure of meeting with Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme Wong and Wanda Maximoff. The team knew that Amora’s army’s strongest weapon was their magic and sorcery. They used it to manipulate and control beings, turning warriors against their own people.
“Alright, the plan is to use the resources and manpower we have in Kamar Taj, Strange and Wong will take the lead there. Wanda will use her powers to put the Enchantress’ men under her spell. We are lucky enough that she values quantity over quality.” Tony laid out the plan.
“She would recruit any mage or sorcerer that she sees, regardless of how powerful they are, some might be weaker than others.” Loki added.
“So it’s all for show?” Clint asked with an eyebrow raised.
“Oh no no no.. They’re like a swarm of ants, the bigger the colony, the stronger they are. Let’s not rule out the chances that she could be generating her powers for her army too.” Thor intercepted.
“Or it’s the other way around, she absorbs their powers and knowledge to be stronger than before. That is why she invaded those realms first before Asgard.” You spoke quietly.
“Or that too..” Thor turned to look at you, so did everyone else.
“Don’t let her or Lorelei get close to any of you. Lorelei could enchant you to go to Amora with her voice while Amora could imitate your powers just by a single tap.” You rolled your pearl earring in your finger, a habit that you do when you’re deep in thought or nervous.
“Is there any way we could protect ourselves from being enchanted by these witches?” Tony turned to look at Strange, Wanda and Wong to which they shook their heads.
“The only way you could protect yourself from enchantments is by having a strong mind.” Strange explained but then you remembered.
“Actually, you can. But it’s not strong.” You stood up. “I can cast a spell on all of you so you get protected from mind manipulating hexes but it only works when you’re against ordinary mages and less experienced sorcerers. It wouldn’t be potent enough to withstand Amora’s powers.” You bit your lip nervously while glancing at Loki.
“I’ve never heard of such a spell before.. Wong?” Stephen Strange was skeptical.
“Well, it’s a local spell from where I’m from. Only members of the Oralfian royal family knows about this kind of magic, an ancient mystical practice.” You fidgeted.
“Let’s test it out shall we? Hey kid, come on over here.” Tony called out to Peter Parker, the youngest in the team.
“What is it Mr. Stark?” The boy looked curious and innocent, you sympathize with him, such a young man fighting such an enormous battle.
“Sit down here and let us test something out alright?” Tony pushed Peter down on a seat.
“Okay Tinkerbell, work your magic.” You nodded and confronted the sitting boy.
“This is going to feel a little bit cold.” You forewarned Peter of the sensation he was about to feel before you began placing your hands on the side of his temples, not touching him.
For a mere minute, your hands began emitting a golden glow that began to seep into Peter’s head.
“It’s done.” You announced.
“Wanda.” Tony looked at the Scarlet Witch and shook his head to where Peter was. The woman took over your spot and touched his head, she started with some gentle magical force to look into his mind but it wasn’t working. Next, she began testing on enchanting Peter to do what she wanted by flaying her fingers next to his head. Didn’t work either. Then, she went with a bit more force and pushed her magical forces into his mind.
“He’s scared. And hungry.” Wanda claimed before retreating. “Well, that took quite a lot to get into his head.” She said as she smiled at you.
“Well I’ll be damned.” Strange looked at you in awe.
“Okay, so it actually works! I have to ask though, will the magic wear off?” Tony clapped his hands together.
“Not really, it wears off when somebody finally gets into your head. Or if the spellcaster.. Dies.”
You answered truthfully, you could sense Loki’s head whipping towards your direction at the mention of your death.
“But that’s not going to happen. I’ll make sure that every single one of us comes out of this war alive.” You reassured the whole team, but really, you just wanted to erase Loki’s uneasiness.
Your husband made his way to you and held onto your arm. “Excuse us for a second. Darling, a word.” He took you away from the team and to the balcony.
“Wow, for a God of Mischief and a trickster, he sure cares a lot for his wife.” Nat said to Thor.
“Oh believe me. She means the world to him. Changed him into a better man.” Thor looked at the two of you. He couldn’t believe how much his brother had changed ever since you two got married.
“All a man needs is a chance.” Steve joined in.
You were pulled off to the balcony by Loki, he didn’t look pleased.
“What do you mean if the spellcaster dies? You are not considering yourself to join the war are you?” Loki knitted his eyebrows.
“I’m not considering, I am joining the war, Loki.” You scoffed, the nerve of this man trying to stop you from battling for your universe’s future.
“You can’t. I forbid it.” He told you.
“You forbid me?” You couldn’t help but chuckle in disbelief. “Who are you to forbid me?!” You fought back.
“I AM THE KING OF ASGARD! And no queen of mine shall partake in a gruesome war!” His voice was stern and he yelled out. His volume was loud enough to be heard through the glass of the sliding door that separated you two from the team.
“Uh oh, marital strife..” Tony grimaced as the Avengers looked at your argument.
“Yes, yes! Scream and shout to the world! YOU ARE THE KING OF ASGARD! Oh how you take pride in your position.” Your heart was beating as fast as your anger was rising.
“You keep reminding me of your title Loki.. But you forgot, that I am the Queen of Asgard. The sole survivor of Oralf’s royal family. And I shall not stand back and spectate while all of you are sacrificing your lives to protect the universe.” Your voice quivered with emotion.
“If I were to die, let me die while fighting. Let me die by your side Loki. I am not letting you fight alone.” You held onto both of his arms.
“Please..” You tried your best to hold in your tears, your hands moving to hold his. Loki’s eyes softened at the sight of your glossy eyes.
“But I must keep you alive.. I need you alive, Aurelia.” He held your hands up and clasped it in between his.
“Then keep me alive on the battlefield. What if I’m not there to help you and I lose you? Life would only mean pain and agony for me.” A single tear rolled down your cheek.
“Please don’t cry..” It crushed his heart seeing you cry, he didn’t want to see you hurt, not like this, not in any way.
“Let me fight with you. For Asgard, for the Nine Realms, for us.” You sniffled. Loki was reluctant to let you fight but he knew better than to stop you. So with a heavy heart, he nodded and kissed your hand.
It had been a few days since your argument with Loki and he had been more supportive of you whenever the team would have meetings to organize the plans. All of you couldn’t guess or estimate when the Enchantress and her soldiers would strike Midgard but every so often you would get false alarms of unidentified objects in the sky. This wasn’t a coincidence, Amora had it all sorted out, she would send boulders and sometimes dead Asgardians down to Earth to throw all of you off. The locations of these items and bodies were random and scattered all across the world and it was starting to freak humans out.
Tony insisted on having the S.H.I.E.L.D agents handle these fallouts instead of the Avengers, yet a lot of news channels and papers had begun questioning why they weren’t there to investigate. Tony had his reasons, the biggest reason was because he knew something bigger was coming and he needed all the team members to stick together and fight when the war breaks.
While waiting for Amora to engage in battle, you were keen on training to sharpen your combat skills. Your sparring partners now included Lady Sif, Natasha, Wanda, Bucky, Steve and of course, your spouse.
You grunted when Wanda had you locked up in her conjured chains, you struggled hard and attempted to blast your powers out to break free. This was always the difficult part of training for you. Your combat skills had improved and you could fight almost every person you’ve sparred with except for Loki and Wanda. They were both knowledgeable about magic and mystic arts, combining fighting skills with them, they were basically undefeatable.
“Come on Aurie! Summon your powers! Break free!” Bruce cheered for you.
“I.Am.Trying!” You clenched your fists and tried to push out your powers to destroy Wanda’s mystical chains but to no avail. You were losing your energy and your golden glow began to dim down.
“Alright, that’s enough. Let her go Wanda.” Loki saw how you were in distress and he couldn’t look at it anymore.
“Oh come on Loki, she can make it! I could feel her.” Wanda pleaded to him, wishing he would give you just a little more time.
“Let.Her.Go.” Loki’s voice was low but Wanda knew that he was getting furious so she immediately got rid of the chains. You fell on top of the padding and groaned.
Your husband walked towards you, lending his hand for you to take. You gave him a glare, he’d always put your training on a halt whenever he sees you struggling.
Standing back up, you stretched a little bit. “You really shouldn’t meddle with my training. How am I supposed to improve my skills if you interrupt me every time you see me struggle?”
You sighed deeply, you knew he meant well but his carefulness wasn’t helping you.
“I do not wish to see you get hurt when Amora could come attack us at any minute. It’s dangerous.” He explained and you rolled your eyes.
“You know what’s more dangerous? If I can’t defend myself when I get attacked by Amora. Now please, promise me that you won’t stop my training anymore.” You walked out of the training gym with him.
“Fine.. I promise.” He promised while rolling his eyes.
“And no crossed fingers!” You playfully punched him on the side of his arm.
“Yes, yes..” He pulled you closer by the shoulder and you leaned your head against him.
“Well, since we’re all sweaty.. I propose a shower? Together?” He squeezed your shoulder and gave you a naughty grin.
“Always so mischievous, even in these times.” You pinched his side while chuckling.
“Not my fault my wife looks so enticing after training.” Scrunching your nose, you couldn’t resist how cheeky Loki is. He’d always find a way to make up to you after pissing you off or making you upset.
You two made your way towards your quarters, thankful that each room had its own bathroom, for you didn’t want to disturb the others who were living in the same building with all the noise you and Loki would make.
After the long shower with your husband, you sat on the bed and dried your hair up, smiling as you saw him get out of the shower after you. His hair was wet, towel draping around his hips and he looked so fresh.
“Why are you smiling like that? Admiring your extremely dashing husband?” He smirked as he pushed you down on the bed.
“Loki! We just did it in the shower.” You whispered, a big smile on your face.
“That was round one my darling. We’re off to round two.” You laughed at your husband’s insatiable desire for you.
“Am I really that irresistible to you? Or are you just being a horny devil?” You cupped his face.
“You’re both, my Sigyn.” Sigyn? That’s new, the nickname made your heart swell. The name was only to be used when a man values his woman greatly. It meant ‘victorious girlfriend or companion’. It also symbolizes loyalty, compassion and faithfulness in a woman. A word to never be used lightly.
“I’m your Sigyn?” You asked, unsure of what he meant by that pet name. For all you know, it could’ve been a slip of tongue.
“Yes. And I mean it with my whole heart.” He pecked your nose.
“You’ve made a new man out of me Aurelia. You gave me a new goal in life, I was always seeking for my father’s reassurance but you showed me that the only reassurance I needed was from myself. You taught me to embrace myself, I do not have to be like Thor. Even if I am the opposite of him, I am still his equal.” He affectionately gazed at you. His blue eyes and dark wispy lashes, penetrating into your soul.
“I lov-” Right before he could utter those three words, sirens began blaring, knocking you two out of your romantic daze.
“Attention to all Avengers, suit up and report to the headquarters. I repeat, suit up and report to the headquarters immediately!” Steve’s voice was heard throughout the building.
You quickly changed into your combat clothes, it matched Loki’s color scheme but it was designed differently. It was a leather tunic that fitted your body perfectly with golden holsters that hold daggers and blades for your usage. You even wore a headpiece that could double as a weapon with the horns that pointed upwards. Putting on your boots, you looked at Loki worryingly. This was your first ever war and you hoped that this wouldn’t be your last.
Holding his hand tightly, both of you rushed towards the headquarters that was two levels above the quarters. Through the large glass windows, you could see a swarm of flying objects coming out of a dark portal in the sky. Prepare for your first battle.
