SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME THIS IS TRUE I CANT HANDLE THE FEELS RIGHT NOW
The God of Stories | Loki rp | Post IW rp | open to mutuals
Loki was led through the corridors of the SHIELD facility. His wrists bound with mystical cuffs. A special gift from Eitri, he was certain. The dwarf was one of the few that knew how to make such pieces. It cut him off from his magic. At least it did it in a far more humane way than the collar that the Titan had used.
The muzzle, of course, was an unnecessary touch. He wondered if it was at the request of the All-Father or simply a goading the dwarf had thought up on his own.
Loki took it all in stride. He walked the halls, surrounded by SHIELD guards. His wrists bound, a muzzle across his face and yet he held himself as regal as ever. They were getting ready to transport him back to Asgard. Little did they know that it was precisely what he wanted.
The young god felt a prickling along his skin. He might not be able to touch the mystical energy himself but he could still feel it and someone had just used it. The foolish mortals around him had no idea that something big was happening but Loki knew. It was a talent he held and not one any creature’s device could ever take from him. Something had used mystical power to slip through the time barrier. There were beings here that were not suppose to be part of this story just yet.
Loki glanced around curiously as he was led into a room to await his transport. He wondered who it was that was playing with the fabric of this particular moment in time and why.
Once Ella had slipped into the time barrier, her arrival back to the first time the avengers fought together was not exactly graceful at all. Ella was one of the few ex-shield agents who were selected to assist in this mission to the past, and her job was to find Loki, and with the little time she had, she had to find a way to convince Loki to help then undo the chaos that Thanos had not yet created.
A blue glow came from her hands as she cast a spell over herself to remain invisible. The young girl cautiously made her way through the headquarters, making sure to follow Thors directions exactly in order to find Lokis cage. She passed several corridors, but as she arrived to her destination she heard footsteps and talking.
Ella recognized the voice of the person talking, it was Natasha trying to bargain with Loki to save Clint. She made no move to hide since Natasha could not see her, and if Loki could then she hoped he would not out her.
Guess who finally got this blog set up???
It’s Tabitha, and I’m here to introduce my latest muse: Loki from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I actually don’t know many people in this fandom, so it’d be a great help if you could reblog this and help spread this around.
🐍 - OCs and crossovers are welcome 🐍 - Personals do not reblog, thanks
Any Loki blogs interested in rping with me?
Ellas vision began to fade as she lost a lot of blood. The stinging pain in her shoulder was nearly unbearable while Loki was running with her in his arms, all that moving hurt a lot.
She breathed a sigh of relief when he laid her down, that is until he pulled the knife out of her shoulder. Although he had told her to brace herself, she still was not prepared and let out a gut wrenching scream when he pulled the knife out. She tried her best to stay still, flinched when he put his hand on her wound.
Ella watched as a faint green glow came from his hands, and suddenly her pain was gone as if she had never been stabbed. “I-I’m ok, i think” she replied, then sat up and her head began to spin like crazy. “Everything is spinning…but i dont feel pain, what did you do?”
He stood, steadying himself as the familiar pain pulsed in his chest.
“A version of Asgardian healing magic I mixed with an amplifying spell. I suppose you’ll learn that soon.”
Loki brushed his hands on his pants, noticing that his shirt was covered in blood.
“I suppose we should leave before something else happens.” A small smile touched his lips as he looked down at Ella.
He knew how selfish he was being…… his presence alone was a threat to her wellness. Past mistakes have made it impossible for Loki to be left in peace. And it wasn’t fair to drag her into it.
But he didn’t stop her. Didn’t walk away. Smiled as he flicked up his hood, preparing to leave with her.
Loki shrugged it off, deciding he was too tired to worry about those things.
Ella stood up slowly, trying to regain her balance. “Yeah we should leave, it is kind of suspicious that we are in a dark alley covered in blood, lets hope no one questions us about the blood on our shirts, I live right down the street so we shouldnt have a problem”
She smiled back at him as she lead the way across the street to her apartment. “I’m really glad you’re back, its kind of lonely trying to hide from SHIELD, basically you are the only friend i have and the only person I can trust” Ella spoke as they walked into the building, and started going up the stairs.
Her apartment was on the fourth floor, and not completely fancy but it was pretty decent, and she had blackmailed the owner into letting her stay there for free. “So, this is my apartment, not exactly the fanciest but pretty great…except I only have one bed”
Loki stepped into the warm space, giving a small sigh of relief. He was a lot safer now that on the streets. He could partially rest.
“Please, don’t worry.” He insisted, taking off his cloak. It dissapeared in his hand as he scratched his head.
“How long have you been running from them?”
Ella sat down on the couch in the living room, leaving space for Loki to sit as well. “I’ve been running basically since we were together last, got captured by hydra for a year but ive always been running, I just want it to stop, but I doubt it will” Ella replied with a sad shrug.
“What about you? I know you told me some things, but what were you up to while you were running from them?”.
Loki sighed, sitting down.
“Well…. it’s not just them. I’ve lived a long life full of bad decisions and now I’m basically wanted throughout the realms. This is the only realm that is the safest at the moment.”
He ran a pale hand through tangled hair, shrugging.
“Magic has helped me survive… But I’ve grown very tired.” He scoffed softly. “I’m not even sure what I’m fighting for anymore. life, I suppose….. But is it as worth it as I once thought?”
Loki stopped himself, realizing how erratically he was opening up to her. He wasn’t always good with sharing emotions….
“Anyways. I’m taking some time to explore what I still can. Maybe find some peace.”
He looked at his shoes for a moment, thinking hard. He chuckled. “Listen to me ramble on…. Hey, you don’t suppose I could shower here?”
At that moment Ella really felt for him, because he had lost everything and he was tired of running and hiding, and she understood exactly how he felt.
“I’m sorry, if its any consolation, the only thing keeping me going is the hope that one day we will be free…and alcohol” she chuckled softly.
“Oh yeah of course you can shower, follow me I’ll show you where it is”
Ella stood up and lead him upstairs to her bedroom. “The bathroom is just beside the closet there, do you need anything else? Maybe a towel or something?”
He half smiled.
“Well, the universe is a strange large thing…. I’m sure we can find someplace untouched.”
He shrugged. “when i have a ship, anyways.”
Loki headed for the door, stopping momentarily as his glanced over his shoulder.
“Thanks. Really.”
He used as much sincerity as he could muster, which for Loki wasn’t much.
He closed the door, looking into the big mirror as he sighed.
He had fallen so low…. asking for help.
It was something he never did. He always managed to find a way. But this time…. He didn’t have a way out.
He was weak.
Loki ran his fingers through his hair, shaking his head slowly as he prepared for the shower.
How can I be so weak?
Ella smiled back at him "its not a problem, just let me know if you need anything" she replied and then made her way back downstairs. While Loli was showering, Ella started to get everything ready for the next day, she put some meat in the fridge to let it defrost so she could cook it the next day, then started to clean up and make the place look a lot neater than it was.
Afterwards she just layed on the couch and relaxed

It had been quite some time since Ella had last set food outside her apartment, but she finally did it because she was getting lonely and a bit stir crazy from constantly having to hide in her apartment in order to stay safe from shield.
Ella decided it would be best to maybe go to a small bar after midnight rather than during the day, that way she knew most shield agents were not going to be anywhere near a bar. She kept her head down as she walked out of her apartment and onto the streets of new york.
“Seriously?…”
He wrinkled his nose as he sat down at the bar, glaring over at the loud idjits next to him practically screaming at the tv.
Loki looked up at the bright screen in time to see mortals attacking each other for some ball. He snorted, remembering the many games his ‘brother’ made him play that involved the same principle; bodily harm to the smallest player.
Lokis memories were inturrupted by the bartender, giving the betrayed king a small nod. He didn’t nod, instead mumbling a “scotch on the rocks.” Before putting his head down, tugging a bit on his hood.
Sure, it wasn’t exactly his dream come true to invest time in this shit hole, but it was a relief to be left alone. The bartender slid him a glass of the yellow murky water, making loki snarl slightly at the pungent smell.
He hissed at it as he took a sip.
Yes. Mortal scotch doesn’t compare to that of which was crafted by gods….
He thought, deciding it was better than nothing…
It did the job, after all.
He sighed, taking another sip as he became lost in thought.
Ella turned the corner and walked into the nearest bar she could find, and took a seat at the bar without even looking at who she was sitting beside. “Give me the strongest drink you have please, I’ve had a long day so dont ask, just keep the drinks coming” she told the bartender, and meanwhile she tried to keep her magic under control. Ella could feel her magic humming lightly through her body, and she used the alcohol to keep it dormant.
When the bartender served her drink she quickly downed it, only then did she notice the stranger sitting next to her, but something about him seemed familiar. Before she could put her finger on it she realized she had been staring at him for quite a bit of time.
His nose twitched.
He felt it.
He could smell the stench of great magic wafting through his nose as the ding of the door bell rang though the building. Could feel the waves hit him in a constant pulse.
A silent curse passed his lips as the power shifted closer. And, thanks to his luck, sat right beside him. A young girl, he collected.
His nose twitched a second time as his senses immediately hightend. Waiting for the worst.
He was so tired of running.
So tired of dodging the enemies he’s created….. the bounty on his head of several realms…… the societies that wanted to explore his anatomy…
He was over it, to say the least.
Damn…. she keeps staring at me..
He took another sip, swishing it around on his tongue before swallowing it.
“Anything you find interesting?”
He asked casually, deciding it best to get it over with. Wanting more than anything to not make this a scene, but at the same time expecting the worse case senario.
She was slightly caught off guard by his reply, but she quickly collected herself, well sort of. “Oh, Sorry I didn’t mean to stare for that long, you just seem so..I mean you feel..” she paused for a moment, trying to find the best way to say that he feels familiar without sounding like she is a completely insane person in case he turns out to be a normal human.
“have we met before?, your energy feels familiar” she asked in a more hushed tone just incase there was someone listening to them.
He snorted openly, downing the rest.
“Let’s hope not…”
Loki muttered bitterly. He thought back to before Ragnarok. Back when he was so…. what’s the word? Ah yes. Irresponsible.
Back to when power was all that mattered. He had successfully obtained his throne. Had his ‘fifteen minutes of fame’.
And he was done with it.
It didn’t take long to realize that all the enemies he aquired.. all the lives he took….
He could never rest.
Loki snapped out of his thoughts, realizing she was still looking at him.
“Apologies. What is your name?”
She continued to stare at him, trying to figure out why he was for some reason very familiar to her. She chuckled when he apologized and asked for her name “I think I am the one who needs to apologize for staring at you for so long” she replied and downed another drink. “My name is Ella, what is yours?” she asked in return. she tried her best to not stare at him so awkwardly, but at times she could not help it, she was drawn to him, but couldnt figure out why, was it because he was like her? was that even possible?. those questions continued to run through her mind as she waited for his response, and she hoped that if he was like her that he could not read minds.
He his a small smirk as her thoughts rang through his mind.
Ah yes, Ella…
He remembered her. A tinge of guilt hit his chest as he remembered his role in her life….. Loki had discovered her potential the moment he met her. He had planned to obtain her magic, wanted it for himself.
But…. That was then.
He wasn’t as…. Power hungry.
He decided to put that behind him and smiled at her.
“I knew I recognized that magic” he chuckled. “Loki. Its been a while, hasn’t it?”
A look of confusion crossed her face before she remembered that years ago when she was barely an adult and a prisoner, he had helped her escape from SHIELD and hide.
“Loki? Yeah its been a while, I was not expecting to see you again after you disappeared without a trace” Ella replied with a soft smile. “Where did you disappear to? You kind of left me to fend for myself so you owe me an answer”
He shrugged a little sadly.
“I’m sure I do. You weren’t the only one.”
He cleared his throat, pushing a strand of messy hair from his face.
“Well…. The throne. I had the chance and I ran for it. It was mine. Until…”
His brow furrowed as he remembere.
“I lost it all.” he shrugged with a small smile.
“But such is life, yeah?”
He grabbed his freshly poured glass, taking a sip
Still bad scotch.
He smiled at her softly.
“And how has your life treated you?”
Ella smiled sadly at him. “it is funny how even though we were apart, the same things happened to us both”, she downed her last drink and set it down, then ordered more. “how has life treated me? well…it was good, at first, and then I got captured by Hydra, more torture followed because they wanted intel on SHIELD that I did not have, but obviously they did not believe me, so I spent about a year with them, they are quite uptight about their security so it was hard to leave. umm what else…let me see..” she drank a bit more as she thought of everything else that had happened. “lets see, SHIELD is still searching for me, so I now have both SHIELD and Hydra on the lookout for me, I basically cannot really leave my apartment during the day, I have to wait until midnight to be able to go outside, it hasn’t exactly been that much fun, but its whats keeping me alive.”
He nodded slowly, staring at his glass.
“No. That isn’t fun.”
He gave a week smile.
“But here we are, I suppose. Keeping low and enjoying what little we can….”
He pulled a cigarette from his shirt pocket, putting it to his mouth as it instantly lit.
“yeah, I mean it hasn’t been all bad, the night time here is beautiful, and the people are too drunk to notice me” Ella laughed as she took another drink. “oh don’t worry, I’m not addicted to alcohol or anything, I just need it to dull down my magic. I’ve gotten stronger since we last saw each other, so much so that i can’t control it if i don’t dull it down. I’ve caused some major havoc with my magic lately, hence the excessive drinking”
He chuckled.
“Oh yes. That happens. I remember mother wasnt allowed to teach me to control it until I accidentally froze my teacher solid.”
He smiled at the memory.
“So..” he tapped the table softly.
“How do you plan to learn?”
Ella laughed “you froze your teacher?” she continued to chuckle a little. “sorry, I am not judging, i accidentally obliterated an entire house, so yeah no judgement here”. She smirked slightly at him. “well my plan was to carry on being a drunkard for the rest of my life” she replied sarcastically “why, are you offering to teach me to control my magic?”
Loki took a drag.
“Well…. Im pretty much homeless at the moment. So…. Favor for favor?”
He spoke almost nervously. He wasn’t one for humility. But he was rather lonely…. Tired of midgardians.
Ella was surprised to hear that, and also it worried her because living on the streets was not exactly easy for anyone, definitely not for her either those months after she escaped from Hydra were the worst.
“That sounds like a fair deal…but I just want you to know, i would have accepted if you just told me you need a place to stay, I am cold hearted,but not that cold to turn away a friend”
“Friend.” He smiled softly. If she truly knew him, Loki wondered, would she still claim friendship?
He decided not to ponder.
“Thank you, Ella. It is much appreciated.”
He was always wary of these situations, but was also relieved to find a non mortal who didn’t want his head.
Well, he hoped she didn’t..
“My pleasure” Ella replied with a smile “ we can head there now if you want, nothing interesting really happens in here at this time” that and Ella had no interest in staying to witness the extremely drunk girls throw up.
As Ella stood up, she realized how drunk she was as the room span when she tried to walk. “Damn, i drank a lot more than i thought”
Loki chuckled, holding onto the chair shakily as he stood. “Not as drunk as I thought I’d be, but anything is better than here.”
Loki rubbed his head, still getting over today’s hangover.
“Shall we?” he gave a smile.
However, he was interrupted by a hand on his shoulder. Something Loki definitely did not like.
It was followed by a gruff voice
“I thought I told you to stay out of my bar!”
Loki sighed, remembering the previous night. He hadnt done anything. Didn’t say one foul word to this brute. But somehow that didn’t stop him from hating Lokis guts.
He took a deep breath, knowing that any form of magic in public would not be good for him.
“Listen. I was leaving.” Loki replied curtly, using all his strength to not snap this mortal like a tooth pick.
This didn’t please the man, unfortunately, as he pulled out a large hunting knife. He snarled, revealing his yellow teeth.
“I told you not to come back”
Ella smiled back at him "yeah lets get out of here" and had already taken a few steps away because she thought Loki could handle the asshole that was bothering him. but when she turned around her eyes widened as she saw what was happening.
"Hey stop! We are leaving" She yelled at the guy holding the knife, but he seemed to not notice her at all, so when the guy held the knife up, Ella quickly ran in front of Loki and screamed as the knife went clean through her shoulder. It took every ounce of her strength for her tofight him back despite the knife that was now sticking out of her shoulder, but because she was drunk her magic wasnt exactly at its best.

A silent curse passed his lips as the power shifted closer. And, thanks to his luck, sat right beside him. A young girl, he collected.
His nose twitched a second time as his senses immediately hightend. Waiting for the worst.
He was so tired of running.
So tired of dodging the enemies he’s created….. the bounty on his head of several realms…… the societies that wanted to explore his anatomy…
He was over it, to say the least.
Damn…. she keeps staring at me..
He took another sip, swishing it around on his tongue before swallowing it.
“Anything you find interesting?”
He asked casually, deciding it best to get it over with. Wanting more than anything to not make this a scene, but at the same time expecting the worse case senario.
She was slightly caught off guard by his reply, but she quickly collected herself, well sort of. “Oh, Sorry I didn’t mean to stare for that long, you just seem so..I mean you feel..” she paused for a moment, trying to find the best way to say that he feels familiar without sounding like she is a completely insane person in case he turns out to be a normal human.
“have we met before?, your energy feels familiar” she asked in a more hushed tone just incase there was someone listening to them.
He snorted openly, downing the rest.
“Let’s hope not…”
Loki muttered bitterly. He thought back to before Ragnarok. Back when he was so…. what’s the word? Ah yes. Irresponsible.
Back to when power was all that mattered. He had successfully obtained his throne. Had his ‘fifteen minutes of fame’.
And he was done with it.
It didn’t take long to realize that all the enemies he aquired.. all the lives he took….
He could never rest.
Loki snapped out of his thoughts, realizing she was still looking at him.
“Apologies. What is your name?”
She continued to stare at him, trying to figure out why he was for some reason very familiar to her. She chuckled when he apologized and asked for her name “I think I am the one who needs to apologize for staring at you for so long” she replied and downed another drink. “My name is Ella, what is yours?” she asked in return. she tried her best to not stare at him so awkwardly, but at times she could not help it, she was drawn to him, but couldnt figure out why, was it because he was like her? was that even possible?. those questions continued to run through her mind as she waited for his response, and she hoped that if he was like her that he could not read minds.
He his a small smirk as her thoughts rang through his mind.
Ah yes, Ella…
He remembered her. A tinge of guilt hit his chest as he remembered his role in her life….. Loki had discovered her potential the moment he met her. He had planned to obtain her magic, wanted it for himself.
But…. That was then.
He wasn’t as…. Power hungry.
He decided to put that behind him and smiled at her.
“I knew I recognized that magic” he chuckled. “Loki. Its been a while, hasn’t it?”
A look of confusion crossed her face before she remembered that years ago when she was barely an adult and a prisoner, he had helped her escape from SHIELD and hide.
“Loki? Yeah its been a while, I was not expecting to see you again after you disappeared without a trace” Ella replied with a soft smile. “Where did you disappear to? You kind of left me to fend for myself so you owe me an answer”
He shrugged a little sadly.
“I’m sure I do. You weren’t the only one.”
He cleared his throat, pushing a strand of messy hair from his face.
“Well…. The throne. I had the chance and I ran for it. It was mine. Until…”
His brow furrowed as he remembere.
“I lost it all.” he shrugged with a small smile.
“But such is life, yeah?”
He grabbed his freshly poured glass, taking a sip
Still bad scotch.
He smiled at her softly.
“And how has your life treated you?”
Ella smiled sadly at him. “it is funny how even though we were apart, the same things happened to us both”, she downed her last drink and set it down, then ordered more. “how has life treated me? well…it was good, at first, and then I got captured by Hydra, more torture followed because they wanted intel on SHIELD that I did not have, but obviously they did not believe me, so I spent about a year with them, they are quite uptight about their security so it was hard to leave. umm what else…let me see..” she drank a bit more as she thought of everything else that had happened. “lets see, SHIELD is still searching for me, so I now have both SHIELD and Hydra on the lookout for me, I basically cannot really leave my apartment during the day, I have to wait until midnight to be able to go outside, it hasn’t exactly been that much fun, but its whats keeping me alive.”
He nodded slowly, staring at his glass.
“No. That isn’t fun.”
He gave a week smile.
“But here we are, I suppose. Keeping low and enjoying what little we can….”
He pulled a cigarette from his shirt pocket, putting it to his mouth as it instantly lit.
“yeah, I mean it hasn’t been all bad, the night time here is beautiful, and the people are too drunk to notice me” Ella laughed as she took another drink. “oh don’t worry, I’m not addicted to alcohol or anything, I just need it to dull down my magic. I’ve gotten stronger since we last saw each other, so much so that i can’t control it if i don’t dull it down. I’ve caused some major havoc with my magic lately, hence the excessive drinking”
He chuckled.
“Oh yes. That happens. I remember mother wasnt allowed to teach me to control it until I accidentally froze my teacher solid.”
He smiled at the memory.
“So..” he tapped the table softly.
“How do you plan to learn?”
Ella laughed “you froze your teacher?” she continued to chuckle a little. “sorry, I am not judging, i accidentally obliterated an entire house, so yeah no judgement here”. She smirked slightly at him. “well my plan was to carry on being a drunkard for the rest of my life” she replied sarcastically “why, are you offering to teach me to control my magic?”
Loki took a drag.
“Well…. Im pretty much homeless at the moment. So…. Favor for favor?”
He spoke almost nervously. He wasn’t one for humility. But he was rather lonely…. Tired of midgardians.
Ella was surprised to hear that, and also it worried her because living on the streets was not exactly easy for anyone, definitely not for her either those months after she escaped from Hydra were the worst.
“That sounds like a fair deal…but I just want you to know, i would have accepted if you just told me you need a place to stay, I am cold hearted,but not that cold to turn away a friend”
“Friend.” He smiled softly. If she truly knew him, Loki wondered, would she still claim friendship?
He decided not to ponder.
“Thank you, Ella. It is much appreciated.”
He was always wary of these situations, but was also relieved to find a non mortal who didn’t want his head.
Well, he hoped she didn’t..
"My pleasure" Ella replied with a smile " we can head there now if you want, nothing interesting really happens in here at this time" that and Ella had no interest in staying to witness the extremely drunk girls throw up.
As Ella stood up, she realized how drunk she was as the room span when she tried to walk. "Damn, i drank a lot more than i thought"
It had been quite some time since Ella had last set food outside her apartment, but she finally did it because she was getting lonely and a bit stir crazy from constantly having to hide in her apartment in order to stay safe from shield.
Ella decided it would be best to maybe go to a small bar after midnight rather than during the day, that way she knew most shield agents were not going to be anywhere near a bar. She kept her head down as she walked out of her apartment and onto the streets of new york.
“Seriously?…”
He wrinkled his nose as he sat down at the bar, glaring over at the loud idjits next to him practically screaming at the tv.
Loki looked up at the bright screen in time to see mortals attacking each other for some ball. He snorted, remembering the many games his ‘brother’ made him play that involved the same principle; bodily harm to the smallest player.
Lokis memories were inturrupted by the bartender, giving the betrayed king a small nod. He didn’t nod, instead mumbling a “scotch on the rocks.” Before putting his head down, tugging a bit on his hood.
Sure, it wasn’t exactly his dream come true to invest time in this shit hole, but it was a relief to be left alone. The bartender slid him a glass of the yellow murky water, making loki snarl slightly at the pungent smell.
He hissed at it as he took a sip.
Yes. Mortal scotch doesn’t compare to that of which was crafted by gods….
He thought, deciding it was better than nothing…
It did the job, after all.
He sighed, taking another sip as he became lost in thought.
Ella turned the corner and walked into the nearest bar she could find, and took a seat at the bar without even looking at who she was sitting beside. “Give me the strongest drink you have please, I’ve had a long day so dont ask, just keep the drinks coming” she told the bartender, and meanwhile she tried to keep her magic under control. Ella could feel her magic humming lightly through her body, and she used the alcohol to keep it dormant.
When the bartender served her drink she quickly downed it, only then did she notice the stranger sitting next to her, but something about him seemed familiar. Before she could put her finger on it she realized she had been staring at him for quite a bit of time.
His nose twitched.
He felt it.
He could smell the stench of great magic wafting through his nose as the ding of the door bell rang though the building. Could feel the waves hit him in a constant pulse.

Loki looked up at the bright screen in time to see mortals attacking each other for some ball. He snorted, remembering the many games his ‘brother’ made him play that involved the same principle; bodily harm to the smallest player.
Lokis memories were inturrupted by the bartender, giving the betrayed king a small nod. He didn’t nod, instead mumbling a “scotch on the rocks.” Before putting his head down, tugging a bit on his hood.
Sure, it wasn’t exactly his dream come true to invest time in this shit hole, but it was a relief to be left alone. The bartender slid him a glass of the yellow murky water, making loki snarl slightly at the pungent smell.
He hissed at it as he took a sip.
Yes. Mortal scotch doesn’t compare to that of which was crafted by gods….
He thought, deciding it was better than nothing…
It did the job, after all.
He sighed, taking another sip as he became lost in thought.
Ella turned the corner and walked into the nearest bar she could find, and took a seat at the bar without even looking at who she was sitting beside. “Give me the strongest drink you have please, I’ve had a long day so dont ask, just keep the drinks coming” she told the bartender, and meanwhile she tried to keep her magic under control. Ella could feel her magic humming lightly through her body, and she used the alcohol to keep it dormant.
When the bartender served her drink she quickly downed it, only then did she notice the stranger sitting next to her, but something about him seemed familiar. Before she could put her finger on it she realized she had been staring at him for quite a bit of time.
His nose twitched.
He felt it.
He could smell the stench of great magic wafting through his nose as the ding of the door bell rang though the building. Could feel the waves hit him in a constant pulse.
A silent curse passed his lips as the power shifted closer. And, thanks to his luck, sat right beside him. A young girl, he collected.
His nose twitched a second time as his senses immediately hightend. Waiting for the worst.
He was so tired of running.
So tired of dodging the enemies he’s created….. the bounty on his head of several realms…… the societies that wanted to explore his anatomy…
He was over it, to say the least.
Damn…. she keeps staring at me..
He took another sip, swishing it around on his tongue before swallowing it.
“Anything you find interesting?”
He asked casually, deciding it best to get it over with. Wanting more than anything to not make this a scene, but at the same time expecting the worse case senario.
She was slightly caught off guard by his reply, but she quickly collected herself, well sort of. “Oh, Sorry I didn’t mean to stare for that long, you just seem so..I mean you feel..” she paused for a moment, trying to find the best way to say that he feels familiar without sounding like she is a completely insane person in case he turns out to be a normal human.
“have we met before?, your energy feels familiar” she asked in a more hushed tone just incase there was someone listening to them.
He snorted openly, downing the rest.
“Let’s hope not…”
Loki muttered bitterly. He thought back to before Ragnarok. Back when he was so…. what’s the word? Ah yes. Irresponsible.
Back to when power was all that mattered. He had successfully obtained his throne. Had his ‘fifteen minutes of fame’.
And he was done with it.
It didn’t take long to realize that all the enemies he aquired.. all the lives he took….
He could never rest.
Loki snapped out of his thoughts, realizing she was still looking at him.
“Apologies. What is your name?”
She continued to stare at him, trying to figure out why he was for some reason very familiar to her. She chuckled when he apologized and asked for her name “I think I am the one who needs to apologize for staring at you for so long” she replied and downed another drink. “My name is Ella, what is yours?” she asked in return. she tried her best to not stare at him so awkwardly, but at times she could not help it, she was drawn to him, but couldnt figure out why, was it because he was like her? was that even possible?. those questions continued to run through her mind as she waited for his response, and she hoped that if he was like her that he could not read minds.
He his a small smirk as her thoughts rang through his mind.
Ah yes, Ella…
He remembered her. A tinge of guilt hit his chest as he remembered his role in her life….. Loki had discovered her potential the moment he met her. He had planned to obtain her magic, wanted it for himself.
But…. That was then.
He wasn’t as…. Power hungry.
He decided to put that behind him and smiled at her.
“I knew I recognized that magic” he chuckled. “Loki. Its been a while, hasn’t it?”
A look of confusion crossed her face before she remembered that years ago when she was barely an adult and a prisoner, he had helped her escape from SHIELD and hide.
“Loki? Yeah its been a while, I was not expecting to see you again after you disappeared without a trace” Ella replied with a soft smile. “Where did you disappear to? You kind of left me to fend for myself so you owe me an answer”
He shrugged a little sadly.
“I’m sure I do. You weren’t the only one.”
He cleared his throat, pushing a strand of messy hair from his face.
“Well…. The throne. I had the chance and I ran for it. It was mine. Until…”
His brow furrowed as he remembere.
“I lost it all.” he shrugged with a small smile.
“But such is life, yeah?”
He grabbed his freshly poured glass, taking a sip
Still bad scotch.
He smiled at her softly.
“And how has your life treated you?”
Ella smiled sadly at him. "it is funny how even though we were apart, the same things happened to us both", she downed her last drink and set it down, then ordered more. "how has life treated me? well...it was good, at first, and then I got captured by Hydra, more torture followed because they wanted intel on SHIELD that I did not have, but obviously they did not believe me, so I spent about a year with them, they are quite uptight about their security so it was hard to leave. umm what else...let me see.." she drank a bit more as she thought of everything else that had happened. "lets see, SHIELD is still searching for me, so I now have both SHIELD and Hydra on the lookout for me, I basically cannot really leave my apartment during the day, I have to wait until midnight to be able to go outside, it hasn't exactly been that much fun, but its whats keeping me alive."
It had been quite some time since Ella had last set food outside her apartment, but she finally did it because she was getting lonely and a bit stir crazy from constantly having to hide in her apartment in order to stay safe from shield.
Ella decided it would be best to maybe go to a small bar after midnight rather than during the day, that way she knew most shield agents were not going to be anywhere near a bar. She kept her head down as she walked out of her apartment and onto the streets of new york.
“Seriously?…”
