Remember in Double Trouble, there was a scene showing Loki couldn’t handle the cold nearly as much as Thor? This is basically a short based off that, taking place in another adventure they ended up in.
High in the edge of a cliff, Thor sat at the edge of the cave entrance and stared out into the blizzard. He wanted to keep watch since during the adventure, which had lasted two days, making this night three, his brother had stayed awake. He claimed it was because he wanted to watch the stars and smiled a bit, but Thor started to see through that lie. You would too if you noticed he was looking around for any signs of danger and reacting quickly to any sound as if it was a threat every time you woke up to grab a snack or go until he noticed you and was suddenly okay. Speaking of Loki, he was inside the cave next to a fire that were fueled by a few logs Thor found.
He was sitting in a fetal-like position and shivering a lot under his jacket and his teeth audibly chattered. His arms were crossed over his chest and pressed between his chest and legs. Between them, Thor was much more tolerant to low temperatures. He hardly ever shivered. Loki on the other hand, always wears his jacket and never goes anywhere without long sleeves or long pants, and doesn’t seem to mind the heat. He seems much more willing to die of heatstroke than freezing to death, but Thor suspects he went outside in the cold as a kid anyways just so he could get extra hugs from their mother. Thor looked back at Loki and got an idea. He stood up from the rock he was sitting on and walked to Loki, who had already noticed him coming. It was clear with how he practically snapped his neck to face him after hearing the icy stone crack under Thor’s boots. He didn’t say anything when Thor sat with him, only stared back at the fire.”Is there any other way to make this warmer?” Thor asked, trying to start some kind of conversation. Loki didn’t look at him or say anything like he had hoped. Rather, he shakingly put his hand out into the flames to touch it, the flames somehow dancing away from his hand to make a sort of tunnel around it as he touched the wood pile. Thor grabbed Loki’s arm to try and pull it out, but he didn’t move.”Take your hand out of the fire!” He said. Loki ignored him and blue flames began to replace the red and orange ones. Surprise replaced some of Thor’s worry and Loki finally pulled his hand out of the fire.
The cave slowly became much warmer, but Loki nearly toppled over and looked a bit dizzy. Thor put a hand behind his back and helped him sit back up.”You okay?” Thor asked. Loki nodded and Thor pulled him closer into a side hug, which probably caught Loki off guard based on how he tensed up for a moment. His shivering slowed down some, but he was still cold. The side of Loki’s head was touching the part of his arm above his elbow, and he felt ice cold.”How did you do that?” Thor asked. Loki yawned and leaned on Thor a bit.”Just a little trick I picked up on, nothing special. Blue fire is hotter than red fire, so I figured I’d use that trick to heat it up. It won’t last long, though.” He said, leaning onto Thor more and more as he spoke. He probably didn’t realize it, either, and Thor didn’t say a word about it.”Wow. Is there green fire then?” Thor asked. Loki shook his head and his eyelids drooped as the cave became warmer as he spoke, his tone much more sleepy than he meant it to be as he spoke.”Not naturally, I think…” He murmured.
Loki started to regain feeling in his toes and hands, but he was still freezing cold and almost wished he hadn’t regained feeling in them.”Why not?” He heard Thor asked. Loki stretched his arms and legs out, kind of like a cat, and sighed a bit when he relaxed again, pulling his legs and arms back to keep warm.”It has something to do with the light spectrum and the wavelengths of light, I think? I can’t remember right now. I think I have notes in here somewhere.” Loki answered as he nestled the back of his head into the fur of his jacket.
Thor waited for Loki to continue, but only heard barley noticeable snoring. Thor soon smiled and wrapped his red cape around Loki like a blanket so he’d stay warm.
With only the sound of crackling fire, howling winds from outside, and hard-to-hear snoring, Thor was left with his thoughts. Recently, he’d started thinking that maybe Loki’s magic drains his physical energy the same way as exercise or some other intense movement. If that was true, then perhaps it’s possible Loki isn’t as weak as he thought with all the shapeshifting and teleporting he does on a daily basis, along with the occasional conjuration of objects. Like when he made some roses to try to flirt with Mildred to get her to stop causing trouble. He’d ask about it tomorrow, after he finds out how blue fire is hotter than red fire.
Bonus that I don’t know when would happen but I had to write:
“How did I not know how ticklish you are?” Thor asked. The only answer he got was more laughter and thrashing from his little brother, who was stuck in Thor’s hold and turning red from laughter and embarrassment.
Earlier, Thor poked Loki’s ribs to get his attention from the book he was reading and Loki slammed his arms down to protect himself with a surprised squeak, which Loki tried to play off by ignoring it, but Thor pressed questions at his reaction and grabbed his arm so he couldn’t just teleport away and escape the interrogation. It started with more pokes to the ribs and Loki trying to stab him with every dagger he had, but Thor stopped every one and even tossed it away so Loki couldn’t try again while he was trying to hide any sign of hiding any giggles or laughter. Then the assault of tickles to Loki’s sides and belly came when he ran out of daggers. It was an unexpected change, so he couldn’t hold back the laughter anymore. Thor seemed to really like the reaction and kept going while Loki tried his best to escape, but he couldn’t with how much stronger Thor physically is compared to him. And Loki was indeed very ticklish.”Stohohohohohop ihihihit!!” Loki demanded. But he had no success. If anything, it only fueled something in Thor to keep going, which he did. Thor smiled and began poking at Loki’s ribs, which started the whole thing and drove Loki’s laughter an octave higher.”Not a chance! I’ve been waiting for so long to get revenge on you, and now--“
“AAAAAAIIEEE!!!”
Thor paused the assault, giving Loki a chance to breathe, and looked at Loki with a surprised expression. Loki glared back at him with a look as sharp as his daggers.”Don’t. You. Dare.” He threatened through his gasps for breath. A devious grin creeped upon Thor face and Loki began squirming around again, or tried shielding himself. Thor grabbed both arms with one hand and held them above his head, even lifting him a foot off the ground.”No!! No, I’m warning you!! I’ll turn you into a pin cushion!!” Loki threatened. Thor ignored him and started tickling his ribs again, throwing him back into laughter. Loki began kicking around and tried pulling his knees up to cover his upper body, but Thor simply pushed them away and continued.”I know I heard that! Where did that reaction come from?” Thor wondered out loud as he prodded and poked around his little brother’s ribs, soon coming to the spot that got the reaction from a few seconds ago. When his fingers poked the eighth rib on the right side, Loki squealed and broke out in uncontrollable laughter unlike anything Thor had seen, not just in Loki, but in anyone he’s heard laugh.”HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! NOHOHOHOHO!!! NOHOHOHO!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!” Loki yelled. Thor was a bit shocked and confused about the fact that he got such a reaction from a single rib, but he was more delighted to learn it.”Oh, wow! That sounds like this is unbearable!” Thor said. Loki turned a bit redder, either from embarrassment or laughter, and shook his head while laughing.”What? Does talking about it make it worse?” Thor asked. Loki didn’t answer. He couldn’t. He was too busy laughing as Thor curiously and carefully tickled the newfound sweet spot.
About three minutes later, Loki was too tired to keep trashing around and his laughs he was falling more and more into silent laughter. Thor had started tickling him all over his upper body with both hands since Loki was too tired to fight back; belly, armpits, sides, ribs, and especially his eighth rib on the right side. When Loki began showing signs of fatigue, Thor set him on the floor and continued the assault. Thor definitely had the upper hand, Loki’s mind was going mad with the tickles, and it certainly didn’t help that he decided not to wear his jacket and that flexible piece of green chest plate today. By now, streams of tears from laughter were flowing down Loki’s face and he looked like he might pass out soon. Thor decided maybe it was time to stop or at least give him a break and pick it up later, so he stopped. Loki began gasping for air and managed to curl up into a ball on his right side so it’d be a bit harder to get to his weak spot.”Are you okay?” Thor asked. Loki nodded and Thor moved to sit next to him. He didn’t know what it was, but something other than the victorious feeling of having a way to get back at Loki was making Thor feel pretty happy.
Thor knew it was that part of him that really wished he got along with his brother, and now he had a way to do that. And it’s not like Loki would fight back, Thor’s much more physically fit, so he could turn the tables on him easily. Loki panted and gasped for air on the floor.”Did you have fun?” Tasking asked sarcastically. Loki shot him a glare and shook his head, making Thor laugh a bit. It took a long while for Loki to recover from the assault and Thor popped his knuckles when Loki sat up.”Ready for Round 2?” Thor asked. Loki’s eyes widened and he teleported away, making Thor stand up and rush to his room in chase.
In Loki’s room, Loki stumbled to his door and locked it, then he dived under his bed to hide. He curled up in a ball again, exhausted and embarrassed, and planned on staying there for a long time. It wasn’t the fact that one of his weaknesses was discovered that embarrassed him more, it was the fact that Thor could’ve found out he enjoyed the activity.

Midgardian Medicine for The God of Mischief
It had been a couple of weeks since Loki sent the video of him tickling you senseless to the team. Luckily, the team was super respectful and didn’t try to kill you all the time. Usually, it was just playful pokes here and there, but occasionally you would be forced to laugh to pieces if you were too sassy during training or something. Your bug bites were long gone and healed thank goodness. Now you didn’t have to worry about that being the cause of the attacks.
You noticed that Loki seemed to be the instigator most of the time. When you asked him about it he just replied with “ Well it’s kinda in the job description of being the God of Mischief”. You both had been spending more and more time together and the flirting was kinda getting out of hand. Since Loki was the only one that knew you secretly enjoyed being tickled, he used that to his advantage so he could watch you laugh underneath him. You were glad he didn’t tell the team about you liking it because truth is told, Loki was your favorite Ler anyway.
Even with you enjoying it and having a chance to bond with the handsome prince, you still had the desire to get a little bit of revenge on him. He had spoiled your weakness and exposed it to the team and you wanted him to pay for that. The only issue was that every time you were close to tickling Loki back, he easily flipped the tables and wrecked you instead, not that you were complaining.
The only thing you could think of at this point was asking Thor for help. He was Loki’s brother, so he was bound to know some trick on how to tickle his brother and learn where he was most vulnerable.
You went searching for Thor that afternoon after you saw Loki vanish into the library. He would be gone for at least an hour, which gave you ample amounts of time to find Thor and create a plan. When you finally found Thor, he was watching a movie in the common room. You plopped onto the couch next to him nonchalantly. “ Hey, Thor! Can I ask you a quick question? I’m stumped on something and I need your help.” Thor paused the movie and turned to face you. “ Why sure Lady Y/n ! How can I be of assistance?” You giggled. Thor was always so proper when he spoke to you.
“ So um, you know how Loki kinda told the whole team about me being ticklish? I was uh wondering if there was a way you could help me get revenge on him. Every time I try he easily gets the upper hand and tickles me to death! And since you are his brother I figured you might want to tickle him too? I know he can be annoying sometimes.” Thor laughed at this. Thor thought to himself for a moment. Yes, Loki could be bothersome sometimes and he wanted to help you out. “ I would love to help you Lady Y/n on one condition; I am not responsible for what happens once we are done with him. He will most certainly come after the both of us and I want to ensure that you will take the brunt of it.” He winked at you. You rolled your eyes and gave him your hand. “ Deal! this will be worth it!” Thor shook your hand, sealing the deal.
“ Well, the first thing first. Loki’s worst spot is his upper ribs and armpits. But if you want him to giggle like a schoolgirl, you must squeeze his sides and upper thighs. He absolutely HATES having his armpits attacked, so save that for last when he is weakened, otherwise, his revenge will be worse for you.” You engulfed every word Thor told you. This was like winning the lottery!! “ If only there was a way to tickle him all over at once to drain his energy before going for his death spot,” you pondered out loud. Thor wasn’t planning on sticking around for this onslaught so you needed Loki pretty exhausted so you could at least have a chance at extracting revenge.
Thor’s eyes lit up once you said this. You caught it immediately. “ You know of something! Oh please Thor, you gotta help me! I’m only a little Midgardian, I stand no chance up against him!!” You threw on your cutest most innocent-looking puppy eyes, even causing your lip to quiver ever so slightly. Thor laughed at your attempt to woo him and poked you in the ribs causing you to make an Eep sound.
“ Y/n, do you remember me telling you about that time that Loki and I were stuck on that planet Sakaar with that idiot grandmaster?” You nodded. “ Well while I was being held captive, I had this metal sensor stuck to my neck. The Valkyrie woman had a remote to control it every time I stepped out of line that sent electrical shockwaves throughout my entire body. I couldn’t stop it and I was practically immobile while it went off.” You cut Thor off. “ Now wait for just a second Thor. I didn’t mean that I want to hurt Loki! There is no way I’m sticking a metal sensor on him that sends electrical shocks throughout his body.” You were a little surprised Thor brought this up, he never talked about hurting Loki. “ Thor bellowed out a big laugh at your comment. “ oh dear Y/n hold on a minute and let me finish!” You motioned for him to proceed.
“ After we escaped, I was able to remove the sensor which caused it to become slightly damaged. I kept it as a souvenir. A few months ago I found it and I wanted to see if it still worked. If it did, I was going to ask Tony to tinker with it and try to replicate it. This sensor would be a great asset for our missions.”
You blinked at Thor. You were trying to follow with what he was saying. He ignored your confused face and continued. “ To test it out, I put it on my hand and turned it on. It does work, just not in the way you would think. Instead of sending painful shocks through my hand, it pulsed and vibrated sending ticklish energy through my hand instead. It was maddening so I ripped it off and deemed it worthless until now.” Your interest was piqued now. Thor was giving you a golden ticket. If you could attach this thing to Loki, you could tickle him from a distance, giving you a better shot at escaping his wrath. You hugged Thor tightly. “ Oh my gosh, Thor you are brilliant! Can you show me how it works? With this, I won’t need you to help pin him down, so you won’t be at risk of revenge! Loki would never know you even helped! “ Thor thought about this. “ Oh alright. My brother has been a little moody recently and could use a nice cheer up from his special lady friend. I agree to allow you to borrow it. “ You blushed slightly at his statement. Special lady friend? What’s that supposed to mean? But hey it didn’t matter, you had some revenge to dish out.
Thor showed you how the device worked. It was simple really. Once it was activated, all you had to do was press it to someone’s skin and it would stick until it became deactivated. From there, the remote only had two buttons, one for turning it off/on and the other for the power level. You thanked Thor again for his help and placed the device in your pocket. You were ready to find Loki.
It wasn’t hard to find him in an isolated place. You figured it would be best to get revenge where the other avengers weren’t present because you didn’t want to risk embarrassing Loki and losing his trust and friendship. He was a much more private person than you and still really reserved around the team. He only had opened up to you, which made you feel extra special. You had a soft spot for Loki and you were positive he had one for you as well, even if he tried to keep it hidden under his tough-guy attitude.
Loki was in his usual cubby hole. Sitting in the compound’s immaculate library reading a novel. You didn’t understand why the library was so big since Stark industries were all about new and rising technology, but it was nice to have some nostalgia.
You casually walked over to the sofa he was sitting on and plopped down next to him. He just ever so slightly moved the book from his face so he would make brief eye contact with you, and then went back to his book. You swore you saw the slightest hint of a smile hit his face, but you didn’t say anything about it. “ Y/N, this better be good. You know not to bother me while I’m reading. Are you here to ask me about more bug bite medicine?” He reached over and poked your belly while he said the last sentence. You blushed and shifted away from his touch. “ No Loki. I’m not sure I trust your medical advice. I just got bored and wanted to see what you were up to.” You looked over at him innocently. Loki smiled at you and said “ Ah well, you are in luck. I just finished my chapter and I was planning on training a little. Would you like to be my sparring partner?” Crap, you had to quickly figure out how to get the device onto Loki before he left the room. “ Oh, sure! I think I need some practice too. Don’t you need to put your book away first? Tony hates it when you leave them lying around.” Loki gave you a confused look but shrugged it off. “ Oh yes. Let me put away my book before the princess has a meltdown”. Loki smirked and turned around to place the book back in its spot on the bookshelf behind the couch. This was your shot. You noticed his shirt had ridden up slightly as he reached upwards. In one swift move, you quickly dove across the couch and pressed the metal circle to Loki’s side, only a few inches from his belly button. You then rolled off the couch and distanced yourself a few feet from Loki.
When the metal device hit Loki’s warm skin, he dropped his book and spun around to see what happened. He turned to see you giggling across the room. “ What the Hell Y/n! You made me drop my book! What did you put on me a stick—“ Loki cut his sentence short once he realized what you had done. He recognized the device instantly. The last time he had seen it was back in Sakaar when he tried to trick Thor but ended up getting electrocuted for what seemed like hours.
“Get this dreadful thing off of me this instant or I swear I am going make your life a living hell these next couple days Y/n. A God never lies, and I’m not feeling very merciful right now”. Loki was still sitting on the couch as if he was afraid any movement would set it off. You let out a laugh. “ Your threats are meaningless Loki right now. Besides, it’s only fair I get a little revenge on you for what you did to me last week! The whole team has used my ticklishness to their advantage and it’s about time someone stood up to you for all your pranks.” Loki smirked at the reminder of his most recent accomplishment. “ So let me get this straight. I informed the team that you are ticklish, so in retaliation, you think it’s wisest to ELECTROCUTE ME!? Seems a bit low even for me.”
You let out a little gasp as you realized that Loki didn’t know the device was “ broken”. “ Oh my gosh Loki I would never hurt you!! As it turns out this doesn’t shock people anymore.” Loki relaxed slightly at the sound of this but still didn’t move. You continued. “ I thought with this little device I could show you how people on earth use laughter as medicine. I mean it’s only fair because you showed me how and why Asgardians tickle people.” Loki didn’t say a word. You could tell he was getting more and more nervous at what you were saying. He must also be quite ticklish to not even attempt to spit something sassy back at you.
“ Us Earthlings usually use tickling as a way to get confessions out of people, cheer people up when they are in a bad mood, and my personal favorite is to get revenge on someone.” You winked at Loki. “ Option number three seems like the perfect reason to use today!” You then waved the little remote in Loki’s direction. “ Any last words?“ You teased.
Loki looked at you and smirked. “ Okay fine. You can have your fun. But once you are done, I am not responsible for what I will do to you Y/n. You might think I was being ruthless the other day, but dear, that doesn’t even come close to the torture I will put you through.”
You knew that once Loki recovered he was going to get you back, but it would be totally worth it. And with that, you pressed the power level button and activated level 1 of the device.
Loki immediately tensed up. He fell back onto the couch and wrapped his arms around his stomach. He wasn’t giggling yet, but his breathing was getting faster and he was fighting the sensation.
Loki couldn’t believe how ticklish it felt. He was fighting back his laughter even though it felt as if little feathers were pulsing all around his belly and sides. They were constant and never let up.
“ Turn it off you peasant. It’s still early enough I might have pity on you.” You snorted at this comment from the God. You know that the moment you turned the device off, he would attack you in a heartbeat. “ You really think I believe you? No way! You deserve this for all the Mischief you cause.” You walked over to a nearby chair so you could sit and watch Loki squirm up close and personal. His face was starting to turn red and he was biting his lower lip to held control any sound that might escape. You decided it was time to up the anty.
“ Laugh for me Loki! It won’t kill you to be happy!” You said this and decided to hit the power button twice to really help speed things along.
Loki’s eyes bulged from his head and he immediately started laughing. His legs kicked the sofa as his hands scrambled to try and protect himself. Loki had a great laugh. It was deep and joyous, but occasionally it would jump a couple of octaves and he would squeal. You watched as he now had his hand in his armpits. That’s when you realized that every time you hit the button, it not only upped the power of ticklishness, but it also spread to different parts of his body.
Loki was desperate now. “ Y/n plehehease turn it off! You got your revenge! CUT IT OUT NOWAHAHA!” You didn’t really want to hear him beg, so you hit the button until it was maxed out. Loki was losing his shit! He was bucking and shouting profanities at you. He even rolled so hard he fell off the couch. His face was streaming with tears and it didn’t take long for him to give in. “ I YIELD I YIELD!” Loki then went silent. You immediately turned the power to the first setting so Loki could breathe properly. He was laying on the ground on his side. He was curled up slightly and would occasionally let out a snort as little pulses still went through his body. You had never witnessed Loki this happy before. His smile was wide and you could even see a slight dimple on his cheek.
“ Oh my gosh. No wonder you like getting revenge on people. It’s awesome!” Loki tried to glare at you but you held the remote threateningly as if you would hit the button again. Loki saw this and apologized. “ Please do NOT touch that button. I’m sorry darling. I shouldn’t have sent that video to everyone, I should have kept your weakness between you and me.” Once he spoke you shut the remote off completely and ran over to help Loki get back onto the couch.
“ No, I’m sorry Loki. I definitely went a little overboard there. I only wanted to torture you a little bit, but I got distracted by your laugh. You need to laugh more often.” You playfully poked him in the ribs and Loki grabbed your hands and pulled you on top of him. Before you could reach his lips forcefully connected with yours. Your eyes widened but you soon kissed him back. You pulled away after a few seconds and looked at Loki. “ What was that for!? Not that I’m complaining” you giggled.
Loki gave you a wide toothy grin and said “ I’ve been wanting to do that for a while dear. You have been such a good friend to me and I realized it's okay to admit that I enjoyed this little laughter session almost as much as I know you enjoy it when I tickle you to pieces.” You blushed at that comment. “ Besides you were right, I needed a good laugh”. You giggled and kissed him again, but much more passionately this time. When you broke apart you noticed a flicker in Loki’s eyes. Uh oh.
“ Oh dear Y/n, another reason why I stole a kiss was that it makes for the perfect distraction”. You froze. Distraction? What was he talking about?
That’s when you noticed he had the remote in his hand and you felt something cold on your lower back. That little shit. He had played you right into a trap.
“ Loki let’s talk about this! You enjoyed it I enjoyed, so no harm no foul right!? You were giggling madly already knowing what was about to happen.
“ Awe I warned you, sweet Y/n. Now it’s your turn to laugh!” Loki hit the remote to max power and you were lost in ticklish agony. The last thing your brain processed was Loki leaving the library saying “ I’ll be back in a few! Don’t have too much fun without me”
Note: this is about my original Marvel character, Crimson. i know its the same name as mine but i like it sooooo deal with it. this also doesn’t follow the MCU timeline. In this universe Loki lives in the Avengers tower. I hope you like it. I hope to start my own MCU character one day. her super power is rapid healing (kind of like wolverine) the only downside is that the scars don’t go away. I might give her more powers in the future.
About fic: total fluff piece. Crimson is tickled, Loki is tickled. Loki gets a better perspective on the newer avenger.
Summary: Crimson is feeling home sick. It’s been two months since she’s seen her friends and family. Today’s a particularly bad day and Loki notices. He’s determined to make her feel better. Here we go.
The clock read 2:49am. It was late. Crimson sat on the padded floor looking at her phone. She was in the training room on the 5th floor of the avenger’s tower. She had taken a break from fighting Tony’s training robots. They were cheap robots that could be used for sparing. She was wearing a pair of black trip pants, (She liked them, they were easy to move around in) a dark green tank top, and her black and red hair was pulled back in a ponytail. Her training outfit.
She was scrolling through her text messages from her friends, wishing she was with them. Her friend sapphire had gotten tickets to go see the band “The Offspring’s” and wanted her to go, but it being all the way in Florida, she had to ask Tony. She begged and begged but it was no use. Tony wasn’t being mean, he just had important things he had to do with her. He was finally getting around to designing her suit, so he needed her impute and body size. Sadly, that was going to be an all-day thing, plus he wanted her to train more. She understood that this was more important but it still sucked. She hadn’t seen her friends in two months along with her family.
Sure she was making friends with the avengers. Natasha had been showing her new fighting moves and she didn’t hate having another girl in the tower. Peter and Crimson became fast friends. He was the best person to pull pranks with. Thor was just fun to be around. Especially when he drinks. Bucky were starting to like a lot of the same music as her and Bucky was easy to be around. He was pretty cool. He reminded her of her friend Thomas. Over all she got along with everyone. Everyone that is except for a certain god of mischief. It always seemed like he found her annoying. Even when they first met. Tony had introduced her to the team and Loki made a snarky remark about how he didn’t know this was a daycare (also referring to peter). Though she was 23 she looked like she was 16. Thankfully Thor gave him a good punch. After that it was snarky remarks and sarcastic comments. She just ignored him. It didn’t faze her. What was really getting to her was missing everyone and this concert didn’t help.
She sat there looking through messages that read wish you were here. And pictures of her friends enjoying the music. A tear streamed down her face.
“Why am I crying?” She thought. “it’s just a stupid concert, I didn’t even want to go to that anyway.” she lied to herself. She put her phone down and got up. Her sadness quickly turning to anger. She grabbed her staff and chain.
“Hey Friday?”
“Yes crimson?” the AI spoke over the speakers of the training room.
“Set up two bots, level four.” The robots being on a scale of 1-5, five being the hardest.
“Are you sure? Two seems like a lot and you normally stay with level three. Are you sure you can handle that?”
“I’m sure, just do it.” She said irritated. Her anger growing.
“OK.”
Crimson got into her fighting stance, ready with her weapons. her brain getting bombarded with thought about her friends, making her anger grow more and more. The bots approached her. As she was about to attack she heard a text notification from her phone. Everything just burst out of her.
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!”
She screamed, unleashing a barrage of strikes from her staff. Demolishing one of the bot to pieces. The other bot circled her, planning to attack from behind, but it was too slow. As it was about to strike, crimson turned around and blocked the shot with her staff. She jumped back. Grabbing her chain, she flung it at its legs and wrapping around them. She pulled hard, causing it to fall out from under itself. she then continued to destroy it with her staff.
As the robots laid there, sparking and glitching, Crimson caught her breath. A few more tears running down her face.
“I must say, that actually wasn’t that bad.” A voice said, cutting through the silence.
Crimson, not knowing anyone had come into the room, turned around in surprise. Loki was standing by the door with his famous smug smile, thinking he was above everyone else.
“Jeez, you could’ve given me a heart attack. What are you doing here?” She said surprised. She had thought everyone was on a mission. Well except for Tony and Bruce, they were working in the lab. Tony said they were in “the zone” and were not to be disturbed. She was sure Loki had gone with Thor. She was wrong. He chuckled.
“I could ask you the same question.” He was right. She should have been asleep hours ago. She rolled her eyes.
“I couldn’t sleep, so I decided to exercise.” She said not wanting to deal with him.
“That’s putting it lightly.” He said looking at the two destroyed bots. He walked further into the room. He was wearing pajama pants and a gray t-shirt. His black hair slightly messy.
“Whatever. Why are you here?” She asked picking up her weapons off the floor.
“well just like you I couldn’t sleep. So I went for a walk and I noticed the light in here was on and I came in.”
“were you watching me, how long were you standing there?” She asked suddenly feeling embarrassed. Her cheeks flushed.
“A few minutes before you destroyed these two.” He said pointing to the bots. “I must say your much stronger than I thought. You might actually be useful to the team.” He said trying to get under her skin. It was working.
“Yeah well at least I’m not just some dumb magician.” Crimsons anger was slowly coming back. She knew the magician comment would bug Loki because she had witnessed Tony calling him that and Loki getting pissed.
success.
“Shut up, you’re just a child. Your fighting skills are no match for a god like me.” Crimson scoffed.
“Oh yeah prove it.” She said gripping her staff tighter.
“Ha. Fine ive been needing a challenge, but you’ll have to do I guess.” He said sarcastically, conjuring up a staff of his own. She got into her fighting stance, he did the same.
Loki was the first to strike, going for her left side. She blocked it. Trying to land a shot was difficult. He really was a good fighter. It went on like this for a minute, till they backed up to take a few breaths.
“this is just too easy.” Loki smiled smugly at her. His eyes saying I’m better then you. Out of rage, crimson struck back catching Loki off guard. It wasn’t fast enough though. He dodged it at the last second. They then struck at the same time, Staffs pushed against each other, crisscrossed. Their faces inches apart. Her arms started to shake under Loki’s weight.
“What’s the matter little girl, tired? You haven’t even hit me once.” He said with an evil smile, trying to get under her skin. The constant jabs partnered with the fact that she wasn’t in a good mood to begin with, was making her anger grow.
“I don’t even know why Stark bothers with you. You’ll never measure up.” That was the last straw. She saw red and was ready to kill. She exploded with hit after hit. Loki, surprised by the sudden attack, was doing his best to try and keep up but Crimson was faster. He had no idea this would happen. She took her staff in one hand and the other went for her chain, doing the same move she had done to the robot before, knocking Loki down.
Loki looked up and his eyes went wide. Crimson was standing over him about to bash his face in. Her eyes filled with rage. She held her staff above her head, her hands gripping it till her knuckles were white. She wanted to hit him so bad. Loki actually felt afraid.
“H-hang on.” He said holding his hands up in surrender, starting to get up.
“SHUT UP!” she put her foot on his chest forcing him back down. Her staff high above her head. Was she really going to hurt him? That’s when her anger turned back into sadness. (always at the worst time) Tears started to well up in her eyes.
“FUCK!” she shouted. She threw her staff down and let out a scream just like before, letting her anger out that way instead of hurting Loki. She walked away from him, tears finally falling. She sat down facing away from him. Loki sat up and collected himself. He was honestly a little shaken up He looked over at her.
“I think I went too far.” he said to himself. He got up and walked over to her and sat down. He said nothing at first, not really sure what to say.
“did uhh the scream make you feel better?” crimson said nothing.
“I’m sorry, I crossed the line. I really didn’t mean it.” Loki said sincerely. Crimson wiped her eyes.
“It’s ok. Your stupid comments don’t usually get to me. I’ve just had a lot on my mind lately.” she said admittedly.
“Do you want to talk about it?”
She sighed. She really didn’t want to talk, but relented.
“I’m just homesick. I haven’t seen my family and friends in two months and I just miss them. Especially my best friend, And I don’t want to complain to Tony because I know this is a great opportunity and I’ll just seem like some dumb kid who can’t handle it. Sometimes I feel like I’m not as good as everyone else and I shouldn’t be here.” Crimson felt a little bit better but it wasn’t much.
Loki felt bad. He knew that feeling of “I’ll never be good enough” all too well. What with the years he spent trying to measure up to Thor, just to get his father’s approval. He also knew what it felt like to be alone. He finally spoke.
“I know what it feels like to be lonely, missing the people you care about. Feeling like you can never measure up to them” He thought about all those years he spent trying to be better than Thor and trying to get his father’s approval. He then thought about when he was exiled from asgard. He had started to miss his mother and brother. Though he hid it well he really did care about Thor. He looked over at her to see if she was feeling better. He really saw her face for the first time. Her skin was pale like his. She had a scare on her right cheek she was trying to hide with makeup. Her eyes were light brown and she had a few freckles. He never noticed how cute she was. (for a midguard)
“You know if it makes you feel any better Your actually really good.” She looked over at him. He nodded. “I was really impressed. I underestimated you.” She smiled a little. Tears no longer falling but her cheeks were still red.
“You’re really good with that chain of yours to, I really wasn’t expecting it.” He said with a small laugh. “And don’t worry, you’re doing great here.”
“Thanks.” She said feeling better. “I’m sorry if I scared you back there.” Loki laughed
“Ha, darling you didn’t scare me. I was just surprised. If anything, I let you win.” He lied though his teeth. Making her laugh in return.
“Sure. That’s what happened.” crimsons smile grew wider. He was totally lying. She really could have hurt him if she hadn’t stopped
“What, you don’t believe me? Fine let’s go again.” He said getting up
“OK fine, I don’t mind kicking your butt again.” She said getting ready for round two. Loki rolled his eyes
“like I said, you surprised me and I let you win, you won’t be that lucky this time darling.” He said getting ready as well.
This fight was different. Crimson was more relaxed and was having fun. She moved around more and her body was loose. After a few back and forth hits Loki spoke
“you know you’re never going to win.” He said playing around with her. “maybe you should just quite now whi-” As Loki spoke Crimson managed to get him into a head lock and covered his mouth with her hand.
“You talk too much.” All of a sudden she felt his slimy tongue on her hand. “EEEWWW!” She dropped Loki and vigorously wiped her hand. Loki laid on the floor Laughing.
“Ahaha, Thor used to do that to me all the time.” He looked at her getting his spit off her hand and laughed again. “Haha you’re such a girl.”
“Oh you did not just call me a girl.” She said with a hint of mischief in her voice. “you’re in for it now.” Was he really still making fun of her? Oh he was going to get it and she knew exactly what to do. She saw Thor do this to Loki once and it was time to use it. In one swift motion she wrapped her legs around Loki’s legs, locking them in place. Then she grabbed his ankles and locked them in the crook of her elbow and began to scribble her fingers on his feet.
“NOHOHOHOHOHO WAHAHAHAHAIT STOHOHOHOHOHOHOP AHAHAHAHAH!” Loki’s laugh was a surprise to Crimson. It was surprisingly high for how low his voice was. It was cute.
“Aww what’s the matter, god of mischief can’t take getting tickled.” She teased. This was way more fun than actually training. She notices his skin was really pale, almost as pale as hers. He tried to grab at her to make her stop but the way she had herself positioned made it impossible for him to grab at her, plus the tickles were too much. Her skilled fingers tickled up and down his soul, driving him into hysterics’.
“LEHEHEHET GO OF MEHEHEHE AHAHAHAHAHA STOHOHOHOHOP!” Loki screamed with laughter as her fingers centered on the balls of his feet. This was just mean. His feet were one of his worst spots. And she was tickling him to tears. The teasing didn’t help either. She had a death grip on his legs. He tried desperately to get away. But it was no use.
“Hey Loki what’s so funny.” She teased. His cheeks flushed. She was enjoying this.
“STOHOHOHOHOHOP IHIHIHIHIT!” This was pure torture. He thrashed around wildly. Her nails being just sharp enough for this to tickle really bad.
“Hey Loki what would happen if I tickled you here?” That’s when her fingers wiggled their way to his toes. Scratching the soft skin underneath. That was it. He couldn’t take it anymore.
“AHAHAHAHAHAHAH NOHOHOHOHO NOT THERE! STOHOHOHOHOHOHOP I YEILD I YEHEHEHEHEHELD! Loki screamed wanting desperately for the sensation to stop.
Oh my god, was he giving up? This was too good. She felt merciful and decided to stop. Her hands slowed to a stop as did his laughter. She got up giggling, it was to funny.
“Ahaha that was fun. I usually don’t ever win a tickle fight.” she said feeling triumphant. Loki on the other hand was pissed. Not angry pissed, but playful pissed. If she thought, she could tickle the great Loki and get away with it then she was sorely mistaken. It was time…… for revenge. He kicked her legs out from under her, causing her to land on the floor. Before she could react he was on top of her straddling her hips. His mischievous smile was back.
“It was foolish of you to think you could tickle me and get away without any repercussions.”
“W-wait Loki no I-I’m sorry.” She stuttered. Realizing that this wasn’t going to end well.
“Oh talking won’t help you now Darling.” He quickly put her in the same hold she had him in. The only difference was he was taller and stronger so he had a better grip on her. He grabbed both of her ankles in one hand and tickled her feet all over. She burst out with laughter. His nimble fingers made their way to her toes and he was surprised her reaction was about the same as his.
“AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH NOHOHOHOHOHOHO STOHOHOHOHOHOP” She screamed. He couldn’t help but laugh along with her. Her laugh was light and cute.
“Oh I don’t think so. It’s my turn.” He knew exactly what to do, being in a dozen tickle fights with Thor. Loki looked at her. she was trying so hard to get away. It made him smile. Making him want to tickle her more.
“What if I touch you here?” One of his hands ventured up to her thigh. That’s when her eyes went wide. It was her death spot. No way was he going to tickle her worst spot on the first go around. It was so unfair. With all the strength she had left she broke out of his grip and pushed him off. Loki laid on the floor laughing.
“ohohoh did I find a bad spot?” he said laughing with full intent on getting that spot again. Crimson quickly got up and ran for the elevator door, trying to escape the evil tickle God. Loki sat up as the elevator doors opened.
“Boy am I glad that came fast.” She thought to herself.
“Oh you think running away will save. I’m going to find you.” He said with an evil grin. She was still giggling. Half from the ghost tickles still on her feet and half at how much fun she was having. The door closed and she pressed the 14th floor. That floor had the kitchen, a living room, and four bed rooms. One of which was hers. The rest belonged to Thor, Loki, and Bucky. As the elevator went up she was finally able to catch her breath. The laughter finally gone but her smile staying. This little cat and mouse game they were playing was fun. It reminded her of her brothers. How they would play silly games like this.
As the doors opened she thought about where to hide. Not in the bedrooms it would take to long for Loki to find her. Sure she could lock herself in her room but where’s the fun in that. So she settled on ducking down by the cabinets that faced away from the elevator doors. Her smile was wide, she felt like she was a little kid again. She waited for about 5 minutes when she heard the elevator coming back up. She was ready.
Ding
The doors open. Loki walked into the dark living room. The only light was the muted TV, playing the news.
“where are you?” His voice was calm. It almost sang out through the room… that was a bad sigh.
“I’m going to find you.” He paused looking around the room. “I know you’re here.” he said evilly. Like Crimson, he was having fun to. Normally he would be on the receiving end. This was way more fun.
Crimson was trying to stay quiet but the anticipation of being found was maddening. She felt like Lex and Tim from Jurassic park. When they were hiding from the velociraptors in the kitchen. She peeked around the corner to see if she could see him. He was heading to the bedrooms. This was perfect, she could quietly make her way back to the training room and get her stuff.
“I have to get my phone.” She thought to herself. She slowly got up with Loki still in her sight. She took a step to the elevator when two arms wrapped around her causing her to scream in surprise.
“And where do you think you’re going?” Her eyes widened. It was Loki, but how? She looked back at where she saw Loki, but when she saw him he quickly vanished. Damn it, he used his duplication casting. She tried to get out of his grip, squirming like crazy but he wasn’t having it.
“Oh no, you’re not getting away that easy.” He said picking her up and bringing her to the couch. He threw her down and before she could move he was right back on top of her. Straddling her hips and pinning her hands under his knees.
“W-wait Loki please don’t.” She pleaded, a nervous smile on her face.
“Wait, Wait for what? I have you here, you can’t get away, and no one is here to help you.” He said evilly. She started to feel a bit scared, he was right. She was totally at his mercy, but the feeling of terror was soon replaced with the feeling of fingers climbing up her sides, then going towards her stomach. Loki had snuck his hands under her shirt, feeling her soft skin underneath. Her eyes squeezed shut as a stream of giggles poured out.
“AHAHAHAHAHAHAH LOKI STOHOHOHOHOP!” She cried Loki’s fingers made their way to her stomach making her laugh go a bit higher. Loki ignored her pleas.
“Oh I see you’ve found out what was so funny.” He said as one of his fingers dipped into her belly button, making her thrash even more.
“LOHOHOHOHOKI NOHOHOHOHO NOT THREHEHEHER!” She laughed. His fingers sent shock waves throughout her body. But that wasn’t why she wanted him to stop.
“What do you mean not hear? Is there a spot you don’t want me to find?” He asked trying to keep his own laughter contained while still trying to be menacing. Which was hard considering he had a smile plastered on his face. “Let’s get this out of the way” he said moving her tank top up a bit.
When he saw her stomach though, his fingers stopped and his smile faded. Crimsons stomach was covered in scare. Mostly stab and bullet wounds. It made him sad to see someone so young go through so much pain. He had seen the few scars on her arms before but this was different, there were so many. As crimson caught her breath and her laughter slowly stopped she looked at Loki. She was still smiling from her tickle attack when she finally spoke.
“The scars don’t go away.” She said breaking the silence. Crimson had years to get used to them. they didn’t bother her anymore but she still felt uncomfortable when peopled stared so she kept them hidden most of the time. Loki stayed silent. After a moment though his expression turned curious and his head tilted to the side. Then he took his finger and started to trace her scars, Crimson, surprised by the sudden touch, tried to keep the laughter in but failed. As Loki heard the beautiful sound of her laughter again, his smile quickly returned.
“LOKI STOHOHOHOP THIS ISN’T FAHAHAHAHAHAIR!” His feather light touches were torture.
“Stop talking, I’m drawing a picture.” He said circling his finger around one of the bullet wounds. Making her body tremble.
“I’M NOHOHOHOHOT PAPER! STOHOHOHOHOHOP! She cried. Loki laughed at her comment, glad she was playing along with this silly game, but feeling she had had enough, he decided to try one last thing.
“You know how about we try one last spot.” He said looking at her mischievously and setting a hand on her inner thigh. Giving it a good squeeze. Once again Crimsons eyes went wide as she felt the tickle shock go through her whole body. Before he could do anything else, she gathered her last bit of strength and bucked him off of her, sending him to the floor. She couldn’t stand being tickled there. If Loki had managed to tickle her there, she probably would have punched him out of reflex. As soon as he was off of her, she culled up and wrapped her arms around her stomach, trying to protect herself from anymore tickles. She looked down at Loki who was on the floor laughing
“hihihih guess thahat really is a bad spot.” He said getting back up on the couch. he would have to try that spot another time “Are you ok?” he asked crimson as her breathing returned to normal.
“You’re such a jerk.” Crimson said sitting up.
“You deserved it.” He said watching her fix her messy hair. He was silent for a moment then spoke “Hey can I ask you something?”
“sure”
“What did you mean when you said you don’t normally win these?” that comment stuck with him for some reason.
“oh well I have two older brothers who normally gang up on me.” Loki looked surprised
“Wow, Two, and I thought I had it bad. I can’t imagine what it would be like if I had to deal with two Thors.” Loki said making crimson laugh.
They spent the next few hours just talking and getting to know each other till they fell asleep. Loki woke up and brought Crimson to her room and then went to sleep
THE NEXT MORNING
Loki walked into the kitchen to find Tony, Natasha, Clint, and Bruce in the kitchen. He grabbed an orange and was about to leave when he heard tony start to complain.
“I can’t believe Crimsons not up yet. I told her we had important stuff to do today.” Tony said slightly annoyed. Loki having just spent the night learning about Crimsons life and remembering how much she wanted to be with her friends last night, jumped to defend her. He raised his voice.
“Cut her some slack. She’s doing her best to become just as strong as us. I think you can let her sleep an extra five minutes.” He said walking out. Everyone was shocked and silent. Shocked that loki said that. Clint broke the silence.
“I don’t think any of us expected him to say that.”
The end.
Notes: sorry it was so long but I hope you enjoyed it. I hope one day I can make my marvel character real. I always applicate criticism.
