Zephine always had an awareness that her parents were not biological. Her mother and father confided in her ages ago that they heard a crash out on the plantation and found her as a baby in the horse stables. Swaddled in a bizarre dark fabric with pale gold trim. Growing up she became a lovely young woman and a strong hand of aid with their horses. The only setback was she was weak on bright sunny days, and didn’t like going outside, but on overcasts or later in the evening she was as vibrant as ever.

Her and her family never really had troubles, their closest neighbors were two miles down the road and further back beyond their pastures was thick dense forest. It was quiet, and routine, until one evening they received a call from their neighbor to turn on the television.

[We have received news this evening that the god of mischief and his invasion has successfully taken over New York city as of 10:30 am this morning. We have in-tell that he will have ambitions to continue outside and some nearby counties have observed alien aircraft and figures in their communities. The president has arranged to make a public speech tomorrow afternoon, but in the mean time we advise that everyone stay within their homes and do not be outside after dark.]

This wasn’t good, already her mother and father looked worried. It was a restless night, and the next morning Zephine stepped out of her room to see her mom and dad loading up the truck.

“We are going to head into town to get some supplies, it’s a forty-five minute drive but we cannot really work with what we have.”

“Kale shouldn’t she come with us?” The mother asked.

“I can look after the home, we shouldn’t really leave the horses alone,” Zephine assured them.

The father seemed hesitant to agree, but she was right, the plantation couldn’t be vacant. “Just refresh the food and water in the stables. If the horses are restless because of the rain clouds let them out, but after that is done you stay in the house understand? You know where to find a gun just in case?”

“Yes sir, I’ll take care of it.” The young girl promised, and with a kiss on her forehead her mom and dad pulled out of the driveway and out onto the quiet road.

She did as she was requested, heading to the stables to feed the horses and let them out but as she did so she observed something odd. She had a splinter in her palm but the blood that seeped out was not...red. It was but it was also much darker, and it was floating, little droplets orbiting around her fingers. When she pulled the splinter out they vanished. It was unsettling, she didn’t know what to do or how to explain it if she needed to see a doctor about it. She decided to focus on the task at hand, if it happened again she would seek help.

Loki chuckled slightly at her agreement that age has the power to turn anyone bitter. For a second Odin crossed his mind and he let out a full laugh. What a perfect case in point right there. That old man was the most bitter stick up the ass he knew.

He composed himself but the little glimmer in his eyes stayed for longer as his mischievous humourous side flared up. It was rare nowadays but still very much alive. Loki was glad to be reminded of that.

“The Dark Elves are the oldest creatures in existence. Asgard went to war with them and nearly caused their extinction, as is typical for Asgard-” with this he rolled his eyes.

“Eventually, they returned to the Dark World, referred to as Svartalfheim...so I suppose to answer your question, they are practically immortal, but often don’t survive that long due to others.” He gauged her reaction and then continued.

“Age is complicated. For Asgardians, a human’s lifespan is a blink of an eye. But for other creatures such as Dark Elves, the Asgardian lifespan would be comically short. That is if the Asgardians let them live as long as they could. Kill or be killed sort of situation.” It fell silent as Loki shrugged.

“Norns who knows. You might even outlive me. Especially with the predicament, I’m in. Your odds seem far more favorable. Let’s try to keep it that way shall we?” The joke was morbid but Loki wasn’t afraid of death. While he knew it would take a lot to kill him he didn’t doubt that there were forces willing to figure out how.

“Does it scare you? The idea of immortality?” 

[boundinmybones]

Her face turned a soft shade of scarlet when she looked up at him. It certainly was strange to know how different Loki was compared to how media had painted him to be. Hell he even presented himself as someone completely different around others.

“If we do nothing though, blood will still be spilled.” She reminded him. “As long as the stones are out of Thanos’ hands, we are reducing the amount of damage done right?” She noticed he looked a little drained. This situation was not only taking a toll on her it seemed. “We will figure something out, we have to.”

She glanced down at her hands, seeing a few wisps of the infinity stone trailing off her fingers. “The Aether is capable of changing the reality of things… it’s not completely destructive we both know that. Maybe the stone can help in other ways than just taking down threats.”

[lokiodinsoninwriting]

“You think I don’t know that. All paths lead to bloodshed.” A small sigh escaped his lips. “I’ll figure it out.” He promised softly while distancing himself from her. Standing in the empty space of the next room Loki’s eyes fell on her hands.

“Maybe.” He didn’t sound confident that the stone could be used for good, and besides toying with an infinity stone was not a great idea. There were always repercussions. And it could attract the attention of Thanos.

“Norns it’s never easy is it?” The question was more directed towards himself than towards her. “Perhaps my age has jaded my view. Or my knowledge. But you...you still believe in hope and winning...maybe I can learn again.” Loki put his hands behind his back and stared at the elevator. 

[lokiodinsoninwriting]

“I appreciate your openness to potential action.” Loki formally stated, giving her a slight nod. She was right, in a way she needed him to teach her about this stone and how to live with it. Yet another roadblock he found himself stumbling towards. Surely the stone was already causing her to doubt him...he could only try while he still had her with him.

He crossed the counter and stood directly in front of her, looking down. Carefully her took his finger and lifted her chin to look at him.

“You are good. Too good to be caught up in any of this. But your stone...your powers...” he took his hand away feeling guilty that he had touched her. She was far too innocent to be touched by the hands of a murderer like his own. 

“The stones never lead to a path of peace. They call for blood and vengeance and they hurt everyone. Everyone involved.” His voice faded and once again his eyes turned tired and dull. Loki tucked his hand away in his pocket remaining in front of her.

[boundinmybones]

“Well I mean, for the most part they are still people, flawed by design,” she pondered out loud. “You give a guy super powers he’s still a guy, just a stronger one. They are not the perfect saviors, and I am sure a lot of people are a little hopeless and scared that the Avengers have disappeared but they were the ones who stepped up when things got rough. They are all we got for now.” She took a few swigs of her drink. “They are doing miles better than I could accomplish.” She added, trying to keep the conversation steady and light despite how grim the predicament was.

Her body language and her tone read that she was indifferent in regards to the Avengers. She neither was praising them on their pedestals, nor slandering them for vanishing to what could only be assumed is to regroup and strategize. She was however, clearly weighted by the situation her home planet was in. Being in the lion’s den of it, and the fresh identity crisis was nothing that could be brushed off. She seemed rather lost amidst all that was taking place. She then looked across the table to him, “Why do you ask?”

The dark elf was hoping that perhaps being open and honest Loki would encourage him to provide her the same courtesy. The last thing she wanted right now was to be left in the dark.

[lokiodinsoninwriting]

Her answer satisfied him as she seemed neutral on the topic. He shrugged in response to her question, tracing patterns against the marble counter.

“I wanted to hear your opinion. And besides, after what I’m sure you heard earlier it seems like their involvement is imminent.” The statement he gave was not exactly confident that this time he would be able to overpower them again. Loki was getting tired of this endless fight between them and the midgardians and the titan breathing down his neck. It was times like these Loki wanted to just give in to the mind stone and let it handle the situation the best it could. It would destroy him but still...

“If they do get involved there is no way I can protect anyone, they will chalk everything I say up to lies.” He stilled his hands and thought for a second, contemplating what he wanted to say next.

“But that doesn’t mean they won’t listen to you.” Loki made eye contact as he purposed the idea.

“I know I said I didn’t want to drag you into this. I still don’t. You have free will to abandon me if this mess goes wrong. But entertain the idea for a minute. You are human...well close enough to fool them anyway, and they will view you as my hostage, someone with valuable insight. Then again they would be skeptic that you aren’t controlled by the stone.” Loki began to pace as he spoke. This was up to her if he got caught.

“No one else knows as much as you do. Nor would I let them.” He concluded stopping in his place and glancing at her.

[boundinmybones]

There was a brief bit of silence between her and the god, but it was not an eerie one. With the pace his campaign was taking, it was not often that they got a chance to breathe. When he did speak up he asked about the Avengers she paused for a moment. She actually had to think about that.

“I uhm-” she couldn’t help but smirk a little, “I dunno if you remember where I lived but… I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting them personally.” She cleared her throat to answer him properly. “The whole situation from my side of the lens has been detached before you found me. Our closest neighbors were miles away. We had our own slice of the world and we didn’t really bother anyone else. Didn’t want to either. We paid attention to the news of course, but when word got out of what was happening in New York… that you were victorious. That- that definitely shook my parents.” Her smile had gradually faded the more she spoke, thinking back to how this all started.

“When you arrived at my house, they were out. Paid a visit to town, gathering supplies to hunker down, defend our home if need be,” she didn’t know why she was confessing these things. “We had always seen what was going through the world through a window knowing the odds of it involving us were microscopic and you, you shattered it.” At the end of the day he did agree to leave her Midgardian home and family be if she agreed to come with him. “As for the Avengers from what I have seen I don’t know. I mean granted you have defeated them once. The thing is with us hum-… with humans they are hard to get rid of, and they sure as hell don’t give up. As corny as it sounds.”

[lokiodinsoninwriting]

Her starting statement earned a light chuckle from the god. The hint of sass was something he appreciated in this moment. And she was right, she was in the middle of nowhere he couldn’t count on her to be the most informed citizen.

Loki caught the tone shift when she mentioned her parents. It was moments like this he realized that he knew so little about her and she was so different. He caught himself wondering about the relationship she had with her parents and how nice something like that would be. To be uninvolved and content. Personally it would never be the lifestyle for him, god of mischief, but right now he could definitely see the benefits. 

“I shattered it.” He echoed mulling over her response while she continued on. Another laugh hit him as she spoke of the human resilience. Loki turned to look at her. Her altered statement about humans did not slip past him. For a second he studied her before setting the cup down.

“So I’ve learned. It’s something I can admire about them. The pure perseverance even when the odds of winning are slim.” He gave a half smile before continuing.

“Honestly though I’m surprised. From the way everyone seems to fawn over the heroic Iron Man and what is it...Captain America? I assumed as long as you existed on Midgard you praised these icons. It is unbelievable people are foolish enough to think of my brother-” he stopped and caught himself.

“To think of Thor as a protector...if you could see all the messes he made I swear no one would trust him with a single life let alone the whole realm.” Rolling his eyes Loki toyed with the mug for a second. He glanced up to gauge her reaction. Who did she truly support? Was she just waiting for things to fall apart and be saved by them?

[boundinmybones]

When Loki was addressing the soldier she couldn’t help but shrink a little. Granted he was talking to him, but she felt indirectly responsible for last night’s plans going haywire.

If he had been successful he would have been two steps closer to appeasing that titan, I’m sure neither of you want that.

Hearing the Aether speak within her mind caused her to jolt a little. Having a very audible conscience was still something she was getting use to. “So much for a quiet morning,” she breathed softly to herself. As the soldier left she noticed Loki looked…rested, more than he usually did. Despite how cold and firm he was with the man he was speaking to. She made herself a cup of tea, setting a cup on the counter as well for Loki, just in case.

[lokiodinsoninwriting]

He stood in place silently for a while to gather his thoughts on the matter. There wasn’t much he could do now. All the possible information he could get on SHIELD he already had. They were the only true threat to his goals here which he didn’t even particularly have set yet. Great start to the morning overall.

Loki noticed the cup seemingly set out for him and made his way to the counter. A moment of hesitation hit him before he took the cup, giving a slight nod of appreciation to her. It was quiet between the two, which normally would stress people out but Loki welcomed it happily. He turned his back to her, leaning against the counter as he took a sip staring across the room.

“Tell me about Earth’s defenders. Do you believe they are capable?” He had control over them previously, but some of that relied on luck and their underestimation of him. The element of surprise always helps, but now it was more in their corner, wherever that was.

[boundinmybones]

The next morning Zephine could hear a hushed conversation as she woke up. It was coming from the living room from what she could make an educated guess on. She was half tempted to listen in, but presumed that if it was anything incredibly serious Loki would share it with her. Plus she still felt squeamish around the god’s influenced colleagues.

She got herself up and out of bed, changing into a fresh pair of clothes before stepping out of her room. Loki was still conversing with the soldier so she gave him a quiet greeting through a nod as she made her way into the kitchen to try and prepare something to drink.

“There is…something else sir,” the soldier fished something out of his pocket, a piece of metal, some sort of microphone. It was clearly damaged. “We found this on one of the informants you met with at that round table last night. The device’s distribution number traces back to SHIELD. We have not heard anything from them since you conquered New York, but they could definitely have been updated on your whereabouts through that meeting. They will know that you are making alliances with human circles.”

[lokiodinsoninwriting]

Finally catching a glimpse of her let him release a breath he didn’t even know he was holding. So she hadn’t run. The soldier quickly pulled his attention back to the action at hand. Loki stared at the microphone not exactly surprised that it happened, but still recognizing how this could throw a wrench in everything.

“They’ve been inactive. I expected this sort of laying low maneuver.” There was a tone of business in his voice but the tension was also flowing through his words.

“Keep an eye out for them then I suppose. Found who this came off of if they are still alive and bring them here. We’ll have a chat.” The final sentence loomed in the air the threat heavy. Loki’s hands lay still behind his back, but they held each other tightly. 

“And next time, which there hopefully won’t be if people do their jobs right, alert me immediately, not at the end of this discussion.” His eyes stared into the midgardian’s unwavering adding to his intimidating appearance. With that, he had declared the meeting over and turned away from the soldier to gather his thoughts.

[boundinmybones]

Loki’s compliment put a small smile on her face as she left the room. Once she laid back down in her bed she looked at her fingers. The last little remnants of the Aether’s tax on her body was beginning to heal up. 

You seem to be developing Stockholm Syndrome your majesty

“I came compliantly remember? He’s the only one who really knows what’s going on right now. Besides, he is just as much trapped as I am.”

Do you think he might be toying with your psyche to make you complacent?

“You’re the reality stone, you probably would have warned me by now,” she sighed, resting her head on her pillow. “He’s been going out of his way to help me, can I rest now without hearing voices in my head please?” When the Aether finally hushed and she could get some quiet she did notice something off. It was a touch easier to get rest, she didn’t feel as frightened at night. Perhaps Loki’s influence was aiding her bravery.

[lokiodinsoninwriting]

The rest of his night passed quickly as Loki actually got some sleep, a rare occurrence with his lifestyle, and tendency to be on edge. He prepared for the day with his armor, new and magically improved. Perhaps now he wouldn’t have to deal with shrapnel embedded in his skin from pesky mortals. How long would it be until they found something that could actually kill him? The thought stopped him for a second, but then he had to brush it off. If they did they wouldn’t use it part of him truly believed they like having someone in charge. Someone powerful like himself. Or the ragtag group of Avengers who were seemingly absent since Loki’s take over.

Leaving his room he considered checking to see if Zephine was still there or if after last night she had attempted to run, but then figured that if she was still there his actions would reflect his lack of trust with her. It was almost as though she had given him every reason to trust her and yet here he was wanting her to double-cross him. 

Why would she want his trust? He was the one holding her captive.

Loki made his way to the living room and met with one of his workers to get any potential updates from while he was absent. All the while he kept checking for any sign of Zephine coming from her room.

Her response made him sigh and then once again she was making jokes. This woman was absolutely unbearable and he couldn’t help but let a soft laugh escape. “I’ve never had such luxury before. This is by far the best home ever.” His mood seemed to be growing a bit better now that they were out of the prison facility.

After a moment of silence, there was a faint glow of green for a second, then it quickly died. 

“I can’t. I’m not well enough to do anything big like that.” A beat of nothing passed.

“I’m sorry.” Loki shifted his body feeling heavy and his stomach achingly empty. “They kept me weak for the safety of themselves. Clearly, they need a lesson in torture, truly doing what they must to get answers. They didn’t even scratch the surface.” He deadpanned.

She laughed softly.  “Finally, you’re making lemonade out of those lemons…”  “I can try a distraction, and we can make a run for it.”  Samantha whispered after a moment of quiet thought.  “Or… I can literally incapacitate them as long as I don’t hurt them.  Or we just wait it out, but I don’t know how long I can tolerate the smell of rotten meat.  Two of those options involve me being able to see outside.  I can’t move things without seeing them.  Maybe I could sneak out for a moment.” She was growing aggravated… not at Loki but at herself.  This wasn’t at all going like she had hoped.  Save the prince and live happily ever after?  Well, that wasn’t exactly the plan either, but it sounded nice.

@lokiodinsoninwriting​

[lokiodinsoninwriting]

After thinking about it and all the possible ways it could go wrong Loki shifted slightly, lifting himself up to sit against the wall of the bin. 

“If you think you can do it safely...you may not be able to tolerate the smell in here, but if after all the close calls I’ve had I will not die in a garbage bin due to Midgardian’s sorry excuse at extraterrestrial security.” The tiredness was evident in his sarcastic tone, but if they could make it out of here all would be well. Right?

He kept convincing himself that it would be. If he didn’t manage to screw this up too. There were so many questions he had for her, but right now his priorities were get away from here and pass out.

[lokiodinsoninwriting]

He felt a pang of mixed emotions when the nurse spoke to him about keeping the love he had found. It seemed to him no matter the measures he could take nothing would guarantee they would be able to be together. The fates seemed against them as shown by the complicated history they had. Slowly becoming lost in thought he tuned out his surroundings as his attention returned back to Emily. His thumb grazed her cheek gently, which was still too warm for his liking. The fever or whatever she had was relentless and it worried him.

Rayna’s voice cut through his thoughts and Loki finally found himself facing the inevitable question. His gaze lifted to meet her eyes and the lapse of silence that had fallen upon them grew longer. 

“To keep her safe.” He answered with a slight nod. “I knew I wouldn’t be able to stay with her. She needed someone who she could actually rely on.” 

Loki wasn’t sure if he had made a mistake telling her all of this or if it was for the best, but either way, it was out in the open now. 

[xxashes-rebornxx]

Candle Light

[lokiodinsoninwriting]

He caught her anxious sounding laugh and ran his thumb over the back of her hand trying to calm her slightly. 

“You didn’t drag me into a mess. Besides, I’m grateful for you.” Loki said his voice wavering showing his discomfort with saying something that appreciative, and dare he say, sentimental. He jumped when the voice behind him pipped up, and quickly stood from his kneeling position.

Loki looked completely normal, that is except for the dark blush he had across his face now. Did they really look like a couple? Or was she just making a joke? He didn’t dare look at Freya, as he was afraid he would find a look of disgust towards the idea of being in that sort of relationship with him. He turned on his heels walking away assuming that she would join him, but for the moment being he needed to take a moment. Away from her. To…concentrate on more important things rather than the idea of them together.

[xxashes-rebornxx]

Amidst her flustered demeanor Freya’s thoughts focused in on the subject this nosy woman brought up. Did they really look like a couple? What were her actual feelings when it came to Loki? The fiery woman knew she had experienced some rather warm feelings when it came to being with Loki, but did they fall under Love? Or something more akin to adoration and gratefulness for what he had done for her?

Freya would’ve continued to sit there with a rather flustered look on her face had it not been for her noticing Loki having gotten up. The woman was also still glaring at her, so there was that too. As she hurried to catch up with Loki a soft “Sorry” escaped her lips upon passing by the woman.

Once she’d caught up to Loki; Freya stuck behind him, almost akin to a lost puppy. “Are you okay…?” She asked, her hands fidgeting in front of her while she contemplated what to do next.

[lokiodinsoninwriting]

He took a side step so she could walk beside him, and made sure to slow his pace as not to leave her in his wake. Loki was embarrassed by how without thinking he had done this for her. Maybe it did seem like they were in a relationship...but surely she wouldn’t want that. Right?

“I’m fine.” His tone had concerted back to being formal and slightly emotionally detached. He glanced at her, noticing how she was fidgeting with her hands. Internally he took this as a sign of awkward uncomfortableness. Of course, she didn’t want an actual relationship with him. He didn’t even know his own standings on the topic. Norns they only met yesterday!

 “Well, shall we? Or is there anything else here you would like to look at?” Changing the subject and denying any of that happened seemed like the safest bet at least in his mind. 

[boundinmybones]

A light smirk poked at her lips at his words. He was right, she was not really planning this either. Hearing that he just wanted to get away from it all and that was how he arrived on her doorstep was odd. Even from that point in time he had secondary thoughts of all of this?

When he stood up and took a few paces away from her she seemed to shrink. Granted the unguarded sensation that lingered being by his side was not incredibly pleasant she couldn’t help but find that empty space cold. Despite him bringing her from her home, everything she knew, he seemed to want this frigid wall between them to stand. It was late, maybe he was tired, or this was just too much to think about at one point in time.

The silence was eventually broken with a soft sigh. “This is uhm… this is a lot to soak up in one sitting I have to admit.” She stood up as well, “But… I do appreciate you not leaving me in the dark about it.” Her tone was steady, a little solemn as well. The future was scary, their futures and homes were endangered, and he had to play along with this titan’s goals for the time being. Thanos did not know of her existence though… not yet. “I think I am going to turn in for the night.” She didn’t want to push Loki too much for information, it might just encourage him to make his barriers stronger. She knew she didn’t stand a chance trying to solve this alone though. As scary as it was to say, she needed him. “Rest well Loki,” she wished him as she made her way to his door.

[lokiodinsoninwriting]

He gave her a nod acknowledging that it was indeed a lot to take in. She probably didn’t even want to know all of this. And by sharing it he just made her five times more dangerous to himself. Looking at her though made him want to believe she wouldn’t try to use this against him. Maybe for once, someone was on his side. Or maybe that was wishful thinking.

Loki wanted to say so much more to her, about how he appreciated her openness and that she seemed to understand him, but stayed silent. His face stayed stone-like as she walked towards the door. 

“I’m...grateful for you.” He finally said his voice soft and his accent making the words sound graceful. “For your help. And your company.” Loki added before going quiet again. “Good night Zephine.” He finally concluded the conversation, as she had done and turned his back to preoccupy himself for preparations of sleep. 

Tonight had been something else. It deviated from his plan far too much for his liking but in the end, went okay. Only now his previously considered hostage was growing closer to him, and Loki was uneased by the closing of distance between their relationship. 

[lokiodinsoninwriting]

He managed to nod at the question while slightly moving his hips against the other’s. Loki could barely think straight as his mind wandered to what was soon to come. 

“Yes, norns yes I can do that.” His voice sounded breathless as his back arched longing to feel closer to Leslie. Any kind of physical contact was intoxicating and even the hand gripping his wrist left him wanting more.  The quick removal of the blindfold left Loki temporarily shocked by the light now hitting his eyes. Once he adjusted relatively quickly he caught an exhilarating look of the man on top of him. He felt the panic that prey feel when predators are ready to attack and it was thrilling.

Every apology was met with Loki asking for more. He wanted all of this, every tight squeeze, bite, and hickie, he longed for more each time. The roughness of Leslie’s actions didn’t bother him in the slightest. As soon as he was being fucked Loki practically melted into a mess of moans and whines.

“It’s so good...fuck me-” His body twitched with satisfaction at the overwhelming sensation. “Yes Leslie, yes, I’m yours...” Loki panted as his nails scratched up the other’s back. “More!” He begged. A whine escaped when his plead was met and he found himself closing his eyes tightly in bliss.

“Use me. I’m yours, your slut~” his eyes opened for a second to take in the sight of Leslie pounding into him with animalistic passion.

Last reply from: @lokiodinsoninwriting

Loki’s attention was drawn away from her when the healer spoke to miss the look of confusion. His cold hand still lay on her forehead as he was spoken to. He scoffed and rolled his eyes.

“The Allfather is not concerned about her survival if he doesn’t allow her needed support from her family. He is no healer, next time you tell him it’s necessary for stabilization and her own sanity. As for comfort, she’s already suffering enough. I don’t care what he tells you, she is a patient and you do not take orders from him on your own specialty. Tell him I said that I don’t care.” He finished his toxic tone fading quickly. It was just aggravating how awful they were treating her. Surely Odin had alternative motives otherwise he would just leave her to die.

He was grateful for them letting Emily’s sister in, but nervous flared up as he caught her eye. It was a secret, Emily didn’t know and telling her now would only confuse her more, he hoped she wouldn’t mention his activity in her life support revival. Rayna seemed to be distracted though so it seemed to be okay.

The interaction was bittersweet as Rayna was trying her hardest to keep it together. Her attempt at humor made Loki laugh for a second. Those two made him feel protective and even a feeling of care blossomed from a forgotten spot in his heart. The coughing made him focus again his hand moving from her forehead to her hand. It sounded so awful and shook her whole body.

As Emily fell asleep Loki sighed and then the burden of guilt returned. If only he had done something before this. If he hadn’t thrown a wrench into everything like a fool. The tears on Rayna’s face forced him to look away.

“I…I can only do so much.” He whispered squeezing the sleeping woman’s hand. “I can make no promises.” It was far easier to let someone down rather than making a promise he couldn’t keep. ”But I will try everything I can.” Loki’s eyes met hers to show he was serious.

“And if she recovers- you need to help her. After she gets better I will no longer be able to see her. I need you to make a lie or something, to help her move past me. I’m no longer good for her. If I was ever.” His words sounded melancholy and it was clearly written all over his face he loved her more than anything else. “But she will be okay. She will be better without me.” Loki avoided looking at the other woman at all costs as he said this. Once again he dropped the temperature in his hand the blue tint reappearing to cool her down.

—————————————————————————

My reply:

Rayna sat quietly, listening to Loki’s answer to the healers’ statements. She looked to her sister with a look of complete concern for her health; what was wrong with her, she didn’t know. The people here seemed to be able to help more than she ever could though, she knew that much. That is part of why she’d brought her sister here - right? And yet, she still had to question why or how that she knew to bring Emily here aside from having drawn the conclusion that it was a good idea from the few stories that she told. So…what was it? Truly? 

Glancing back over at Loki, Rayna paused. He looked so familiar. And sounded familiar. From where? Rayna had to wonder; even amidst all of the present issues, where had she met him from before? It was a slight distraction, for only a few moments. 

Brushing tears away from her eyes, Rayna tried to keep herself as composed as possible right now. Though her brows creased together, as she sniffed again. 

“You won’t..why?” Rayna frowned a bit. She could see that her sister was trying to hold onto Loki as best as she could, even though she was sleeping now. The pain that Emily had gone through, that her sister had been able to witness after being revived, was so clear. To someone who knew her as well as Rayna did, anyway. 

“Wait, wait… That’s..that’s not true, it can’t be.” Rayna wiped at her eyes with the back of her hand. “And I can’t lie to her. That would devastate her… I’m sure that you have to be wrong about that. She wouldn’t tell me hardly anything before now; Emily was so hurt, and so despondent. I have never seen her like that before,” Rayna looked over at Emily again, moving some hair out of her face. 

Pursing her lips, she took in some air, and then slowly let it out. 

“Em would not tell me much, but what from what she did tell me.. there was someone here who had her attention. Someone who meant a lot to her. And…I saw how she looked at you, before she fell asleep.” Rayna stated quietly, her eyes finally lifting to meet Loki’s again. “If she gets better, and this doesn’t kill her… a lie like that would.” It was only feeling Emily start to shiver, that quieted her concerned sister. 

As for the healers, they had attempted to go back to their ‘business as usual.’ Though there was one who was paying more attention to them than the others. 

“..I do not believe it will fair well, if we tell the Allfather that.” She stated softly, glancing over at them all. “Perhaps..if I may be so bold… You could use this as a chance to get your punishment revoked. If you help us heal her..you may have a chance to stay with her.” Cautious eyes darted over to the door. Bringing some cool cloths over, she dropped her voice lower. 

“Although..I do believe he intends to lock her away, once she is well..so..the choice is yours,” she cleared her throat, looking to the door again. She was nervous and for good reason. After all, no matter how quiet she was, there was still a chance that she could be seen by Heimdall. And then ‘spoken to’ later on. 

Which would not be good for her, nor those she was giving the information to.

For a second he stared at Rayna, trying to decide what he would say as to why he was unable to stay to help. I tried to take over your realm? I killed hundreds of Midgardians? I’m a monster? He stayed silent and let her continue on rather than try to answer the question. If she knew she would run away and probably take Emily with her too. Then she would certainly die.

Loki cringed as he was informed of the state he had left her in. Emily probably hated him now. Once she could think straight she’d probably have so many questions, and even worse, she may start crying. And he wouldn’t have answers for her. That was the most heartbreaking thing. 

“There is no winning. I'm not sure if I think it’s better for her or if I’m being selfish and trying to protect myself.” He confided in her sister before paying attention to the healer.

It took guts to speak up to royalty, even members of royalty that were currently prisoners, and admiration for the woman sparked up. She brought up a good point. This could help him if he played his cards right. The room fell quiet as he mulled it over.

“I understand and appreciate your insight.” He spoke formally to the stranger showing his respect for those who respected him. It was different from when he spoke to Emily, but kind nonetheless. Summoning a paper he began to write, graceful delicacy with every letter, before sending it off to the Allfather. Things like this were always better to attempt not in person. Otherwise, it often got out of hand very quickly. Once that problem had been addressed he caught Rayna staring at him and fixed his gaze down on Emily. 

“You don’t know who I am or what I’ve done do you?” He asked his voice low to keep the discussion between the two of them.

Moved; “What did I do..?”

Loki shifted not long after Emily had fallen back asleep, putting his arm around her waist and moving so he was right against her back. Something still didn’t feel right though and he had to figure it out before he could fall back asleep. He finally figured it was because his lover was tense. She was never tense when she slept, at least not when she was with him.

He sat up summoning a faint glowing light as he studied her. It took a few seconds before he moved to nudge her.

“Emily. Wake up.” He whispered not wanting to scare her awake. She didn’t respond in the slightest. Loki shook her a little more.

——————————————————————————-

My reply:

Emily let a soft groan in her sleep, her brows furrowing a bit. It took her time to finally start to wake up, since she was stuck so far into her nightmares that getting back out of them made it hard.

Slowly, though, Emily began to wake up. It was a shock to her, coming back to the waking world. Breathing quickened and trembling from what had happened in her dreams right before she woke up, Emily moved a bit and tried to calm down.

“L-Loki..?” Emily asked quietly, looking over her shoulder and reaching for him. “I’m sorry..did I wake you up?” Emily frowned, wiping at her eyes with the back of her hand. A few stray tears had fallen, though this was the only real notice that she gave them.

He rested a hand on her shoulder, giving it a little massage as Emily turned, then he held her hand that she had reached for him with, giving a light squeeze. There was concern written all over his face. Under his touch, he could feel her shaking.

“You didn’t wake me up. It’s okay. Talk to me.” He urged her, wanting to help in some way. Loki sat back against the headboard and wrapped his arms around her, turning her to face him and then pulling her close against his chest. With her pressed against him, he could feel his heartbeat against her still rapid one. Feeling her racing pulse made his stomach sick and once again he felt so useless in ways to aid her.

“What’s troubling you?” His voice was soft as he tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, his hand stopping as he ran his thumb along her cheekbone, catching a tear and brushing it away.

Loki was wriggling as he was jerked off, feeling completely helpless as he whined with overstimulation. Was this what Leslie felt like when he was teased? This submissive attitude was so different, so hot. Loki gasped as another finger teased his entrance and involuntarily rutted against the hand around his cock. “I’m close!” He choked out his eyes closed tight as he felt the stimulation climaxing. A shudder ran through his body as a moan escaped.

The encouragement and promise of being fucked like he needed to be lit another spark in him and he kissed back needily, his teeth biting Leslie’s lower lip. The nipple play was unexpected. “Les- fuck!” He couldn’t form a sentence as his hips rolled and hot cum spilled over his lower abdomen. Loki felt like the biggest slut ever, and yet his mind was begging for more. His godly stamina and pure lust kept him hard.

“Please, I need you! Fuck me hard Leslie. You promised-” He was whining with need, no time to be embarrassed by the whole different tone he was giving. Loki panted burying his face in Leslie’s neck.

Her apology prompted him to look up from his hands. Loki glanced towards her, his eyes falling on her knee. She was being genuine and for a second he felt angry at her for it. Why? He didn’t deserve compassion. He had taken over her home and served as a threat to everyone she cared about. It made him angry that she was able to listen and empathize.

Her question had caught him off guard and his emerald eyes searched hers for a quick second. Then he squeezed his hands tight together, formulating an answer.

“I didn’t have a reason...it was just a feeling. An urge to get away from all of this. I suppose it was an attempt to escape. But it didn’t exactly go as planned clearly.” A half-laugh escaped his lips. “None of it went as planned.” 

Loki feeling uncomfortable with the fact that they were sitting together side by side, stood and put distance between them again. It felt safer when there was a divide between them. Without space he found himself feeling too vulnerable. She could still attack him at any moment now he had to keep in mind. At any moment Zephine could turn on him, and with the unpredictable infinity stone, he wasn’t sure how safe he would be. Once again his mind traveled to that night, what had happened and how she had taken her first life. He was doubtful it would be her last. That hypothesis was something he would stay quiet about. If she knew what would she do? How would she react? He turned away from her, his hands clasped behind his back as he thought.
