Just how much time did you spend your younger years in the library?
Do you still spend that much time today?
Asgard has many grandeur libraries that lain within the palace; The Royal Library being one of the largest. It was the Library of Magical Arts I could often be found in—when I wanted to be found that is—at the time when I was learning to hone in my special brand of magic. More than that, if I could not be found in the library or my own private garden, it was because I had slipped away unnoticed into what Thor had called, “Loki’s Looking Glass.”
It was a large, dome-shaped chamber with a hole in the center of the ceiling. In the daytime, sunlight would pour down into the chamber and flash on the surface of a broad, glassy-smooth, circular pool of water. The walls of the pool were made of polished marble and stood waist high. All around the pool, dozens of tables waited, stacked with my books, scrolls, and papers—as well as metal compasses, marking and measuring tools, and paperweights. The pool reflected the sky, and I would use it to study the stars at night; uninhibited, and without having to strain my neck. At nightfall, the sky was a limitless field of the deepest black you would ever see. It swirled and twinkled and winked and pulsed with hundreds of galaxies, thousands of nebula, and billions of stars. Some stars looked like black velvet had been punctured to let in the blinding light from paradise. Galaxies looked like a ripple on silver water, or clouds turned blue or green or purple. And some nebula appeared to be the paint-covered fingerprints of an artist accidentally brushing his canvas. All of it glowed and shimmered, raining soft, multicolored light down upon the chamber.
As I recall, in a small corner of the space, stood a broad, oaken bookshelf stuffed with leather-bound tomes. Those tomes hold my inscriptions of all of my observations and discoveries. Each volume talks about an individual Asgardian constellation. The Constellations of Midgard was added to those tomes not too long ago.
As for your second question, no, I do not visit the library as often as I would like or used to for that matter. However, does not mean you will not find me in the company with an old, leather-bound text.

I remember working with the Widow, her and I were… co-workers at one point. Long ago before she joined S.H.I.E.L.D. And today’s work involves something a little different than working together. It has been at least five years that the Widow abandoned her post as a world famous assassin, and abandoned me as well.
Her name is Black Widow and her and I were once a great team of assassins. Give us an order and we would get the job done within 48 hours. We were well known by mercenaires and assailants. We worked with Department X and trained at the Red Room, I’ve known Natalia for at least 20 years but today I renounce all of it. Her betrayal, her double-cross of me… hurt, and I was trained to never feel emotion.
Natalia knows I’ve been going after her for years now, ever since she went of the radar and then appeared, with S.H.I.E.L.D behind her.
So today is the day that I end it all.
~~~**~~~
I sat perched on a rooftop in New York, not far down from the Avengers tower, I heard that the Widow was supposed to be doing a little session with a small kids karate class. How cute.
I had my rifle set up and my scope attached, peering through I searched for the Widow.
It didn’t take long, about 20 minutes in I spotted her, the red hair, clear skin, and the S.H.I.E.L.D symbol on her catsuit.
I took aim, cocking my head to inspect my target, making sure I would have a clear and clean shot. The Widow was standing still, perfect, but I didn’t shoot, someone was coming down the alley and was calling the Widow’s name.
I was now curious.
Information is always an asset. That was one of the first things you learned at the Red Room.
I wish I brought all of my equipment, I could only read so much from lips.
“So you need my help,” The man from the alley said
The Widow paused, suspicious, “Yes”
The man cocked his head, “What for?”
“You know I am unable to tell you that,” The Widow replied
The rest of the conversation was cut off when they turned towards the alleyway.
I wrote my encounter on a piece of paper and stuck it in one of my many pockets. It was interesting to see the Widow do business without the rest of the avengers with her. Clearly the rest of the avengers didn’t know about this.
The conversation between the Widow and the man ended quickly and the Widow then went on her way to the Karate class.
I waited for a half hour when the Widow appeared again, I took aim waiting for the perfect moment. She walked down the sidewalk at an easy pace, not in a rush. It was easy to keep a target on her. I kept my finger on the trigger, perfectly still.
This was my favourite part, the impatience of the kill, the way your heart beats faster as the kill comes closer.
I let out a breath.
I pull the trigger.
But I miss……
How…
This can’t be happening…
I never miss…
I see the Widow duck and cover her head and I start to quickly disassemble and pack my equipment. But as I work I spot a shadow in my peripheral vision and I take out a dagger that was strapped to my leg. I hold close to me, ready to strike.
The shadow comes towards me at an eerie pace.
As I stand up to strike, I feel a black sack come over my face from behind. I am in darkness.
This was an ambush, Natalia knew I would be here tonight.
I was handcuffed, picked up, and thrown into something sort of a van.

NOTES/WARNINGS: Violence, swearing
I’m glad the weapon that was given to me was an automatic, no need to reload and waste precious time, I aimed for the man beside my target making it harder for my target to get away.
I pressed the trigger,
Head shot
I then aimed for my target’s leg, who by then was already running away from the situation.
It’s still an easy shot for me though, and I shoot.
With my perfect aim, the bullet I sent hit its mark perfectly and I look up from my scope.
“Loki we need to get down there now!” I pointed to where I my target was now lying down. Loki took my hand and teleported us down into Grand Central Station, my mind was warped by the travel.
As I gained some reality and caught my balance, Loki was already on top of the man with a knife to his throat.
“Is that how the Avengers work? Put knives to throats?” I laughed and cocked my head to the side.
Loki didn’t respond, only by pulling the man onto his back and putting his hands in handcuffs.
Loki grabbed the man and lifted him up off the ground, “Nice work, Aella,” Loki commented and walked past me, dragging the man with him.
I was taken aback by his comment, although I shouldn’t, Loki’s been flirting with but that still doesn’t make it any less terrifying. I shrugged to myself and went to go grab the rest of my equipment still on the rooftop.
~~**~~
For someone who only shoots a gun, the walk back to Avengers tower was brutal and exhausting. My equipment felt heavy and I was not enjoying the looming tower that seemed so close yet so far.
But it gave me time to think.
~~**~~
I finally reached the Avengers tower and walked through the front door. Fuck being healthy I said, and took the elevator up to the main part of the building.
The door opened and I threw my equipment on the ground. Opening the fridge, I found little but a can of apple juice. I sighed. Opened the can and chugged it.
“Glad to see you’ve finally made it home,” Steve said from the counter behind me
I laughed, “thought I would run away?”
Steve laughed in response, “We’re interrogating the man you and Loki took down, he hasn’t said anything yet.”
“So what does that mean for me?” I asked, my eyelids suddenly heavy
“We’re not quite sure…” Steve shook his head “But we want you to stay”
“Great, so you can brainwash me into becoming an avenger, how thoughtful” I responded
Steve shook his head more, “It’s not like that,-”
“How is it not like that? You think I want to work for you guys? Be on the good side? Well you thought wrong. The only reason I did this was because I was forced to, and the only reason I came back here was to get some fucking sleep in a decent bed. If you think you can make an avenger out of me, well I have some news for you, you’re not.” I chugged the rest of my apple juice and made my way towards my given bedroom.
Once i was inside, I locked the door and fell onto my bed.

My head felt like a dead weight, heavy and sluggish. It rested on my shoulder, my muscles too weak to keep it up.
My blindfold is still on though I have moved to a different location. I was now sitting in a chair, arms, hands, and legs tied to it.
I groaned as I stretched my muscles, my head the worst pain of my body. The headache was massive and my neck was stiff.
I needed water. Badly too.
As I moved my head off my shoulder, I heard a slight shuffle close to me.
I stilled.
“She wakes” A smooth voice resonated
I heard the opening and a closing of a door. Then proceeded footsteps that echoed off the walls.
I was then blinded by lights as a hand ripped my blindfold off. I was greeted by the faces of two avengers, the Widow and … Loki? I knew he was living at the Avengers Tower but I did not know he was working for them. What a shame, he was a good baddie.
I smiled “Good to see you too,” I said sarcastically
“Listen, we’re not her to torture you,” the Widow said. I looked to Loki then back at Natalia. Both were stern and both had the same look on their faces, the look of skepticism. Loki was more hard to read though, his face said little other than business.
“Then what are you here to do?” I asked and squinted at Natalia.
“We’re here to make a bargain,” Loki replied, I paused, then slowly turned my head to look towards him. I then laughed.
My eyebrows went up,
“Are you serious? You’re kidding right? Do the avengers know about this?” My smile went wider
“That’s why we’re here,” Natalia started and then paused. “We’ve been trying to track someone for days now, but they’re good, really good at laying low, not being seen.” she paused again, “So, we need someone’s help, no one has been able to so closely kill me before without being spotted, so the team decided that you would be helpful to us.”
I listened to her explanation, “I want to make sure I’m hearing this right, all you need me to do is find, catch, and bring a guy back to you? Why isn’t the snake over here able to do that? If this guy your talking about is so tough to get, wouldn’t magic work better than me?” I was skeptical now, none of this made sense. There has to be a catch.
Loki replied before the Widow did, his jaw clenched, obviously he didn’t like my comment about not finding the guy, “I tried, the guy we’re tracking has magical abilities too, able to counteract my own magic.”
I sighed, my neck still sore, “There’s something missing though,” I paused, “Why do you need this guy,”
The Widow looked to Loki, the two of them having a silent conversation,
“We can’t tell you that,” She said I laughed again, “of course you can’t, but I still have one more question, What do I get in return.”
Natalia answered quickly this time, knowing I would probably ask this question. “You would be off of S.H.I.E.L.D’s radar, we wouldn’t bother you, S.H.I.E.L.D or the avengers,”
Now this truly did make me laugh, how dumb could they be?
I tried to find the right words, “You’re telling me, if i catch and give you this guy I would be off of S.H.I.E.L.D’s radar, what if I decided to go kill the president after this? Wouldn’t S.H.I.E.L.D want me then?”
What Loki and Natalia did after I spoke truly unnerved me, they looked uncomfortable.
“What we’re offering is a position on the team, the avengers, I mean,” Natalia said
“Do you think I’m stupid?” I said, Loki huffed, trying to keep a laugh down
“No, but it’s either accept, catch the guy, and then join the team, or you leave, like none of this ever happened.” Natalia said.
I shook my head, “Are you giving free positions to everyone now? All they have to do is do something for you then become an avenger? I don’t buy it,”
A sudden movement, then a hand was on my throat.
“Loki,” the Widow spat
Loki’s eyes bore into mine, his were emerald, the purest green, but what I saw behind them was pure, unending rage.
My heart sped quicker, his hand clenching my throat, “Don’t you dare think that some of us didn’t work for this position,”
What worried me most about this situation, was that I liked it, his hand was cold and smooth which gave more excitement. I struggled and I found out that I was…well, wet.
Fuck, Loki was hot
But as I started to black out, his hand was ripped from my throat, the Widow was between Loki and me.
I smiled and gazed at Loki and as I started right at him I said, “I accept.”
Imagine Loki is apart of the Avengers and meets an assassin trying to kill the Black Widow…

“Aella, you’re positively soaked” Loki whispered
Loki’s slender hand casually played with my clit while his other hand tweaked my nipple. I moaned, wanting more. I wiggled my ass, wanting more friction but Loki’s hand denied my pleasure.
“Please…” I groaned
I heard a chuckle come deep from Loki’s throat, the fierceness of it made me writhe more. My eyes met the forest green of Loki’s and I could see the slight smile on his face, his lips came closer and I licked my lips. Just as we were about to kiss, he pulled away.
“Loki…”
I looked his face another time and Loki’s eyes gleamed with mischief, “Nice try darling,”
THUMP THUMP THUMP
I woke up from my dream
“Aella!” Someone pounded on my door and basically screamed my name
I groaned and stretched but as I moved I realized that the sheets were slightly damp.
“You’ve got to fucking kidding me,” I hissed quietly
I stepped out of bed, put on a robe that was given to me and opened the door to find Stark in front of me.
“Can I help you?” I asked sarcastically
“Downstairs, 5 minutes” Stark snapped and walked away
I shut the door and dressed myself.
~~**~~
I left my room and made for the avengers common room that was two floors below, I walked the two flight of stairs and found that all 7 avengers were gathered, including Loki. The common room was spacious, at the far end, a wall of windows and some couches and a massive T.V. To my left was a small kitchen with a counter-top island. To my right I spotted a bar with some lavish chairs.
But what surprised me most was that out of all 7 of them only Loki was looking at me, the others were bickering to themselves. But I could not make eye contact, to ashamed of what I had just dreamt of.
“Good morning Aella,” Loki was the first one to comment my presence,
The others looked to my direction and even then I still did not make eye contact with Loki.
“Well, well, well, look who decided to show up,” the Widow commented
I smiled, “glad to see my presence brings crowds,” I replied sarcastically
No one replied, instead they all made their way towards the couches, the only one to not follow was Loki, who decided to enter the kitchenette.
But as he walked towards the kitchen he came closer to me and had a small smile, “Glad to see you slept well,” Loki whispered, quiet enough that only I could hear
I stiffened, unsure of how he knew about the dream, but then I thought, magic… of course, Loki used his stupid magic on me.
I tried to ignore this new found fact and walked towards the rest of the avengers, but I still could not understand why Loki gave me that dream. I understood that nobody wanted to work with me but why must Loki torment me so?
“Aella?” Steve, asked me
“Huh?” I replied, still thinking about Loki
“We were wondering who you would like as teammates.” Steve said
“Wait, I get to choose?! I thought it was the Fury guy who chooses.” I asked again
“Only in certain missions does he choose, but we are desperate to catch this guy and we want to make sure that you have what you need,” Steve was the only one acting nice to me, well, other than Loki surprisingly. The others had a look of disgust written over their faces, I smiled internally, knowing that people actually hated me was, kinda fun, knowing that I could kill them in their sleeps.
“Fine,” I huffed “How about, all of you, and especially… i’ll need Loki’s help, ”
I finally made eye contact with him and smiled, it’s currently 1-1 in our little fun game.
Imagine Loki is apart of the Avengers and meets an assassin trying to kill the Black Widow.

“What the hel!” Loki yelled as he ran to catch up with me, “You couldn’t wait for me?”
“You took to long, wouldn’t want more people dead now would we?” I said nonchalantly as we walked.
Loki just huffed,
“Look, I’m not happy about this and you know that, so just stay out of my way and let me do my job,” I stated
Loki raised his eyebrows and hands “okay,”
~~**~~
I crouched on a rooftop with my equipment, my rifle set-up, scope and all. I had a clear view inside Grand Central Station. I waited… not quite sure what I was supposed to be doing.
As I looked through my scope I asked Loki,
“So what is my purpose for me being up here?”
“To patrol, gather information, I thought you would understand this…” Loki trailed off
I was irritated, I knew what to do but there was nothing but a partially blown up train station and some weird looking mercenaires, the ones Stark told me about. But the thing was, they were doing… nothing.
I heard a shuffle beside me and looked up at Loki instead, he was sitting nonchalantly on the edge of the rooftop looking at me.
“Can I help you,” I asked and went back to my scope.
“I’ve taken a likeness to you Aella, you’ve been a real interesting character,” Loki replied, his words were like silk to my ears
I scoffed and ignored him, I focused on the mission and finally found something of interest, a man came walking through the train station, towards the mercenaires.
“Aella,” Loki’s voice was suddenly very close to my ears, my heartbeat sped up.
“With all that training and you still show your emotions that much, must be the effect I have on you,” Loki purred, his hand went to my hair, he then let go with a slight tug
Fuck… what the hell… what is Loki trying to achieve
I let out a heavy breath, trying to focus on the man in the train station,
“Oh, Aella, you -”
“Will you stop!” I hit him in the knee, knowing it would do nothing. “What can you tell me about the man you want me to catch.
The further I get this over and done with, the better.
“Well, we’ve seen some tattoos, one on his forehead and another on his right hand.” Loki explained
I looked through my scope, now putting my hand on the trigger. I watched and followed the man through the train station trying to capture just a glimpse of anything of value but the man wore a dark jacket with a hood that covered his face.
I was getting really annoyed now, wanting to just shoot the man.
“Aella, is something the matter?” Loki questioned
“I think I might have someone of interest.“ I replied
Loki tried to push me away from my scope but I shoved him back, “Hey!” I yelled at him.
Loki didn’t say anything else,
I watched the man, now talking with mercenaires, the man the pointed to an area with his right hand
I smiled
His right hand had a tattoo just as Loki stated, this is my man that I need to leave the avengers.
