Her mouth felt dry as she slowly back into a corner while the God of Mischief held a dark expression. He was like death itself, both quiet and frightening all in the same moment as he stalked his way towards (Y/N). She couldn’t do anything, no weapons to dead, and no powers to protect herself from his wrath. She swung towards his fist when he caught her wrist and thrusted his scepter forward before he touched the center of her chest.
This ache exploded in her chest as she drops to her knees before her eyes flood a glowing light blue color. “Arise.” He hissed when her body acted accordingly. She could no longer speak, no longer walk, or anything unless he commanded her to do what he wanted. She was his little puppet to control and she could do nothing but allow him to pull the strings on her. “Excellent.” His smile was malicious and held something more sinister behind it all.
“Come.” He motioned with his finger as he turned around and walked out of the cell room that they were just fighting in. Her legs jerked forward and she was moving behind him as they started walking down the hallway. “Control room. Where?” He questioned, tilting his head towards her. “Two floors up.” She answered without her consent. “How many mortals?” He inquired, quirking an eyebrow. “About twenty-three.” She replied.
It was her voice speaking, however, it wasn’t her that was truly speaking. “Well, let us have some fun. Go up there and massacre them. I do not wish to get my hands dirty just yet.” He said, handing her back her pistols. She slid her hands around the desert m9s before gripping them tightly as she walked up to the control room. Everything grew numb inside her body the moment the first bullet pierced through a young man’s skull.
In a blink of an eye twenty-three bodies laid onto the floor, bleeding out their existence as (Y/N)’s face held no emotions. A few minutes later Loki steps inside walking over to the control panel as he looks back to her. “Well done. Not one life remained. I like the way you work.” He chuckles. “You told me to massacre them.” She responded as he quirks an eyebrow. “Choose your words wisely my darling, or they shall come back to bite you.” His voice grew dark.
She didn’t say anything after that as he started his mission to take the Helicarrier back to the Avenger’s Tower to complete his mission. “Now you shall see what a true king is!” He exclaims as his scepter touched the panel and the blue glow faded into green. “I shall make truth of my glorious purpose as King of Midgard!” His eyes glittered with happiness at the thought of his plan coming together so perfectly, and nothing was going to mess it up.
(Y/N)’s eyes fluttered open as a gust of wind almost blew her off the ledge she was standing up. “What the?” She questioned, looking down to see a blurred New York City below her. She felt nauseous when she looked around see the Avenger’s Tower just about eleven feet from her. However, her legs felt like jello and she couldn’t walk even if she wanted to as she slowly sunk onto her knees. “W-What’s going on?” She cried as the wind blew her hair all around her.
“(Y/N)!” A voice cried as she glances over to see Bucky standing by the ledge she was on. “B-Bucky.” Her voice was trembling as fear started to consume her entire being. “W-What happened?” She questioned. “You need to come over here Doll!” He reached out his flesh hand towards her. “I-I’m scared!” She starts to sob as panic engulfs her making it even harder to breath due to the harsh winds that too her breath away.
“Come here, I’ll protect you. I promise. Just come here.” He spoke as his voice grew soft to calm her down. She slowly started to crawl towards him when she noticed that the ledge had been cracked from the fighting. It started to chip away underneath her weight as her eyes widened when she started crawling faster towards him. Their fingertips just brushed when she started to fall as her eyes widened along with his own. “(Y/N)!!” He exclaimed in shock.
Without thinking a second thought Bucky mounted up the edge and jumped after her when he started to fall after her. He wrapped his arm around her chest before he dug his metal hand into the glass of the tower as caught the floor of the tower. Glass shattered loudly and trickled out around them and falling towards the ground as (Y/N)’s eyes followed it down. (Y/N) was death gripping Bucky who had his metal fingers embedded into the carpeted flooring.
“Don’t look down.” His voice was strained as he hauled them both towards the building when (Y/N)’s eyes locked onto his own. “Don’t let me fall.” She whispered, burying her face into his neck as he grunted before his knee hooked up onto the floor. He hissed ingrained itself inside his leg as blood slowly dripped out onto the metal beams that held the building together. He forced himself upwards along with her in his arms as they both landed onto the ground.
He panted harshly as she never let go of him when she let out a shaky breath before his metal fingers caressed through her hair. “Are you okay?” He asked softly when she nods. “I’m okay… What… What happened?” She questioned when he sighed. “Loki had control over you.” He whispered as her eyes widened. “Did… Did I kill people?” She wanted to know as Bucky watched pain etch across her features when he nods softly to her.
“Yes.” He replied. “How many?” She felt her throat tightening, but she forced herself to breath. “Forty-two people.” He answered as everything started crashing down around her when she let out a sob before he pulled her into a tight hug. “Oh god Bucky… What if it happens again? What if he can control me again? I’m… I’m scared.” She looked into his eyes as he blinked for a moment. He could understand her pain, after being in this state for almost two years now.
He swallowed softly before pushing the hair from her face as he caressed her cheek. “Come here, I’ll protect you. From all of this. He can’t and won’t take you away from me.” He whispered as she nods softly before she kisses him for a moment. “Bucky, report. Do you have (Y/N)?” Steve’s voice came through the com that had turned back on now. It had shut off due to Loki’s power, but now they must have come back due to Tony.
“Yeah, she’s right here and we’re okay.” He never took his eyes off her, because his words had a double meaning. He was telling Steve that they were okay, and he was telling (Y/N) that they were both okay. (Y/N) smiles before hugging him tightly. “We almost died.” She whispered as Bucky nods. “You’d think we’d be more traumatized.” He comments when she laughs. “With what we did? Traumatized is what we eat for breakfast.” She murmurs when he started to laugh. They were okay, she was okay and so was here. Everything was…. Okay.
