The burning sensation crept up through my arm, intensifying as it travelled. Tears welled in my eyes as I struggled to remain upright. The heat continued to my heart, where it instantly spread to my entire body. I cried out, my vision completely whited out by the power that was seeping into every cell of my body. I faintly heard voices cry out in concern, but even that was soon drowned out by the rushing in my ears. The breath was knocked from me, and I grew dizzy and lightheaded.
My sight began to return, slowly, the edges of my vision still saturated in white. A figure was kneeling beside me, trying to get me to respond. When had I ended up on the ground?
The pain still reverberated through my body, and I cried silently. My throat felt dry, my eyes stinging. As tears continued to fall, two hands very gently touched my own. Peace flooded through me, and though the pain continued, I felt like I could breathe again. I felt my body being lifted, and exhaustion set in as I was carried out of the lab. A familiar scent filled my nostrils, and I curled in closer to Loki as I lost consciousness.
I woke in a large bed, silk sheets drawn up over my chest. A dull headache throbbed in the back of my head, a pang of discomfort pulsing with every beat of my heart. A small weight pressed on my chest, and I opened my eyes to see Loki’s arm draped over me, his sleeping form illuminated only by the moonlight pouring through the window. His face was peaceful and serene, the dirt and grime of battle cleaned away. His raven black hair shone in the light, and I gently pushed strands out of his face, pressing my lips to his forehead.
“Hmmmm.” He hummed pleasantly, pulling me in closer to him. “Hello, love.” he said sleepily, nuzzling my neck. “Are you feeling alright?”
“Other than a headache, and still feeling tired, I think I’m fine.” I whispered in response, “What happened?”
“The stone seems uncontrollably drawn to you.” Loki sighed. “Shuri ran very quick tests to make sure that you were alright, but the Space stone has found host within you. It’s power seems to thrive inside every fiber of your being, unlike before when the fraction of power simply flowed in your bloodstream. As a result, no one knows how to withdraw it without harming you.”
“Back to square one, huh?” I mused.
“So it would seem.” Loki whispered, pressing his lips to my forehead. “I’m so sorry.”
“What for?” I responded. “There’s no danger of a portal being closed, no timeline for this issue to be taken care of, and you’re not the one that made me pick up the stone. If I remember right, you actually told me not to.”
“I’m the reason you are in this whole mess in the first place.” he mumbled. “I’m the reason you were ever exposed to the Tesseract in the first place. My selfish, regrettable actions always seem to put you in harm’s way.”
“You’re also the reason I lived in Asgard, found a home there. The reason I was able to learn so much about things beyond earth.” I said, tilting his chin up, forcing him to look at me. “Everything in our lives that has happened, led me to you. Our choices, our regrets, everything. When we’re together, everything that I’ve gone through, everything you’ve gone through, it all seems so worth it to me. If you had done one thing differently, I might never have met you, never have fallen in love with you. Is that so regrettable a thing?”
Loki didn’t answer, his eyes searching my own as indecipherable thoughts ran through his head. Before I could ask him for his answer, his lips were on mine, hungrily moving down to my neck. I shuddered, goosebumps running down my entire body. I lifted a leg to wrap around him and draw him closer, and he paused long enough to utter a single, raspy sentence.
“How could I ever regret loving someone so utterly beautiful?” he said, breathless and hungry.
We didn’t sleep much that night.
When the sun rose that morning, neither of us had bothered to replace our clothing. The sun gave Loki a warm glow, and I delayed my shower as long as I could just to enjoy him. In the end, he wound up showering with me, both sharing the water and showering me with small kisses.
The warm sun of Wakanda was refreshing, and the first real peace I’d ever felt since New York settled into my soul. Loki was with me, and everyone was alright for the first time. Thor was overjoyed to know that Loki was still alive, though he had quite a bit of anger at first. The rest of the Avengers, or at least those who had been around for the battle of New York, were still wary of Loki, but Steve’s change of heart seemed to comfort them some.
Vision had made a full recovery, much to Wanda’s happiness. Everything and everyone seemed to be settling into place. Iron man returned from Titan with the rest of the guardians, Gamora released from the soul stone’s entrapment. A new addition, Spider-Man, also came with them, and Peter Parker immediately kindled a friendship with Loki. Peter was fascinated with Loki’s magical abilities, and Loki found himself growing fond of the teenager.
Later that week, Shuri intercepted a message, calling Thor, Loki and I immediately to her lab. Val was alive, Korg and the remaining Asgardians were safe, but stranded in space since their pods had run out of fuel.
“How can we get out there?” I asked, “We don’t have the technology to make such long journeys in space.”
“But we know someone who does!” Thor exclaimed. “Where is the Rabbit? I have need of him and his crew.”
“Rocket?” Loki asked.
“Yes! The Rabbit!” Thor confirmed, smiling.
“Thor, he’s a raccoon.” Loki corrected, rolling his eyes.
“Don’t let him hear you say that.” Quill said, strolling in with Gamora. “My little pager thingy went off and I figured it must mean something. What’s up?”
“I need you and your friends to help me.” Thor said, “The remnants of my people are stranded, with no way of coming here. I need your help to not only get me to them, but bring them home.”
“What’s in it for- OW!” Quill said dramatically, rubbing his arm where Gamora had punched him. “I mean, that sounds doable. When do we need to leave? I’ve got a lot of music to catch up on…”
“We leave as soon as your ship would be ready.” Thor said, “My people need me.”
No longer @BBCisbothlifeanddeath I am now @Rose-Gold-Romantic! A facelift and some changes to reflect that I’m no longer a highschooler like I was when I first started tumblr. @anotherwaywardsister you’re about the only one I can think of that I definitely want to know about my name change (so you still know who I am!)
