The sound of Ravonna’s heels hitting the floor could be heard by the minutemen guarding the door. Which was also greeted with her throwing open the door to the time theater.
With swift words Ravonna speaks, “Leave us.”
The two men made synced movements while walking out of the room, per her request. Ravonna walked slowly towards the wall as the doors closed behind her. As she approached the correct wall she took out her replacement TemPad.
She typed in a code, before the wall opened up to reveal the ‘gone rouge’ minuteman. Hunter B-15.
The hunter looked up at the judge. Her skin tinted with the redness surrounding the cell she was locked in. A scowl on her face and a glare to match, “Why am I locked in here?”
Ravonna returned her glare with a blank expression not even fazed, “You set the Variant free. You were disloyal to the TVA-”
“Disloyal?”
“Did you think you’d escape punishment?” Ravonna continued.
“Disloyal to who?” B-15 pressed on. “You were in the Time-Keepers chambers. They weren’t real.”
“And you think that changes anything?”
“That changes everything! The people need to know the truth,” B-15 exclaimed.
“No, the TVA needs stability. And until we can figure out what’s going on, that is what it will get.” Raonna took a breath and changed her tone, “So you will tell me everything you know about the Variant.”
“What exactly do you want from me?” B-15 asked, her voice done. She didn’t want to speak to Ravonna anymore.
“You have a link with the Variant. I want you to tell me what drives her.” Ravonna got to the point. She wants to take this mistake down, and she wants to do it now.
“Revenge drives her. Killing the Time-Keepers, but they turned out to be fake, in case you’ve forgotten. So she’ll be searching for whomever created them.” Ravonna downcasted her eyes. B-15 looked at her expression and scoffed. “This isn’t about protecting the TVA at all, is it?”
“That doesn’t really sound like revenge, that sounds like spite.” Ravonna spoke, changing the topic. She didn’t want the ex-Hunter to find out her real reason for wanting to know.
“Don’t you remember?” B-15 inquired. Another scoff laid behind her lips.
“Remember what? What are you babbling about?” Ravonna interrogated.
“The person we took from her. The only thing a Loki can have, their person.” B-15 explained. “And we killed them, to get to her. She’ll find them first.”
“And why is that?”
“Because you only want it. She needs it.” A smirk was the last thing Ravonna saw on ex-Hunter B-15’s face as the doors closed again.
Her angry footsteps were heard in the halls and she spoke to Miss Minute. Motivation seeping into every bone in her body.
~In the Void~
As the Lokis and Mobius sat in their makeshift shelter Classic Loki asked Mobius if he remembered all of them.
“You really don’t remember him?” He pressed, Alligator Loki gave a small growl.
“I mean, the TVA arrested a lot of Lokis, but, no I don’t remember an alligator.” Mobius divulged, “Who’s to say that he is a Loki Variant. Just a long con, which makes him more likely a Loki. Always the game within the game with you guys. I respect that.”
“Mobius,” Kid Loki called with a bit of hesitation in his voice, “when you get back to the TVA what will you do?”
“I don’t know,” Mobius sighed, “I’d like for the people to know the truth.”
“So just like that, you’ll turn your back on something that you’ve devoted your whole life to.” Classic asked.
“It’s never too late to change.” Mobius voiced, his tone soft. It reminded the Lokis of someone.
“Just like my Julie-Rose.” Classic reminisced.
“Who’s that?” Mobius wondered. He’s studied everything about a Loki, but nowhere did it talk about a person.
“Oh? Don’t you remember?” Classic asked, but the look on Mobius’ face made him continue nonetheless, “It's destiny, something written in the stars. The only thing that a Loki can have that is good, their person. The one who will always be by their side.”
Mobius looked on at Kid Loki with an expression asking him to elaborate more. Kid Loki sighed and continued where Classic left off. “The girl, boy, or other that is made for us. In simple terms our soulmate. Someone we are given, that the TVA can’t take away.”
Mobius nodded, understanding the special person. He silently wonders why the files in the TVA don’t talk about this person. The Loki’s only good.
Classic began to remember his person. How sweet she was. “My Julie-Rose found me on the planet I was on. She was the only one to keep me sane. We spent our years together, but she was normal. She died. And I was alone once more. When I was finally ready to leave, the TVA showed up.”
Mobius listened to him, the urge to learn more about a Loki still strong. Kid spaced out, trying to remember everything about his boy. His face becoming foggy, like a distant memory.
“I didn’t even tell him that I liked him.” His voice was soft, “He always told me that I was made for great things, that we were going to be side-by-side forever. But I was the idiot who killed Thor and thought I could get away with it. I never got to tell him. And I barely remember what he looks like.”
Kid’s eyes glistened with unshed tears. The millisecond of pain and weakness almost missed by Mobius. He never knew that a Loki could feel this much pain, that they had a weakness and no one could know about it.
Alligator Loki growled from his place on the floor. A few seconds later Classic spoke again, “He says that his person was going to be his queen. But he made a mistake, and then she was gone. He could never return.”
Kid shifted his gaze from the burning fire to outside their shelter. Tired of trying to remember his face. And his smile. And the way his eyes crinkled when he laughed. More tears built up, but he didn’t let it waver his voice, “I hope they know what they're doing.”
“Mobius is so bad.” Sylvie stated as she and Loki sat outside in the cold wind. Her knees pulled up to her chest to gain as much warmth as possible.
Loki beside her, taking in the cold winds, wishing for their warmth, “Or so good. I think that’s why we get along.”
“He cares about you.” A shiver ran up her spine, the warmth she carved already a distant memory. She looked over at him, and he returned her stare.
A gust of wind blew through, causing the both to shiver some more. Loki rubs his arm trying to reject the cold, while Sylvie embraces it. Like an old friend.
“It’s cold out here.”
“Mmm-hmm.”
They both sat there, in silence, before Loki conjured himself a green and gold blanket. Sylvie stared at the blanket, a small smile present on her lips.
“I could conjure one up for you, if you like.” He offered the same small smile on his face.
“I’m alright, I don’t mind the cold,” She revealed, “but a new outfit would be grand, this one is very uncomfortable.”
The wind blew through again. It embraced Sylvie again, the cold being accepted. Loki looked at her from the corner of his eye, a thought that has bugged him for a while refusing. “You’ve never told me the real reason behind taking down the TVA.”
“What?”
“Well you’ve said that you want to take down the Time-Keepers, and it sounds like revenge. But all they did was take you when you were a girl. I don’t see a lot of motive here.” Loki looked at the woman next to him. She was gazing at the distance. Her eyes held the same look his did, when he watched his life on a screen. When he saw them.
“I wasn’t always alone. I had a partner, but the TVA took them from me.” She started, “We were running together, he found me while I was traveling through apocalypses. Wouldn’t leave my side. Turns out he was a Variant too, but got away just in time.
“It was just the two of us, we ran through apocalypse after apocalypse. We stole rest charges together. Our plan was to cause the total panic to sneak in and kill the Time-Keepers. But we got trapped, surrounded by minutemen. He gave me the TemPad, told me to run. Let himself get caught.
“I hid for three days. Waiting for him to appear again. Waiting for the minutemen to show, but no one came. He died for me, and alone I was again. No one but myself to rely on.” a breeze, a bit calmer from the other ones brushed against Sylvie’s cheek, like a kiss.
Loki looked at her with sadness in his eyes. He was taken from his partner, he never really returned home. He never got to see their smiling face, he never got to hear their praises. He didn’t even get a kiss for his return.
He conjured the blanket to wrap around Sylvie, having them share. She grabbed her end and pulled it closer. Accepting the warmth.
“We were supposed to be wed on my return.” Loki began, “A nice little wedding, just us a few friends and Thor was going to officiate it. Just something the two of us could reminisce while setting up for the much bigger wedding for the whole of Asgard to see.
“They never liked being a royal, just wanted us to be happy and together. Nevertheless, they did it to make me happy. They would’ve done anything for me. And I was trying to take over the world for them. To have a throne fit for two rulers.
“But I failed. And when I tried to return to them, I became stranded. Then the TVA came. Took me away. Showed me the life I would’ve had if I just stayed there. Showed me my death, but also showed me my spouse. And our children. And our life together, if I just stayed there.” Regret started to build up in Loki’s voice.
‘Why couldn’t I have just stayed there.’
“Then we do this for them.” Her words shocked both of them, “And maybe there will be a timeline for us...”
“To finally be happy.” Loki finished.
“Yeah, to finally be happy.”
Both of their minds filled with pleasant memories. Happy memories. The times they wish to be in again.
The small group stood on the edge of a cliff staring at Alioth. Sylvie explains the plan. She then gave the TemPad to Loki, expecting him to use it.
“I’m staying.” He declared before handing it to Mobius.
“There is no way that this will work-” Sylvie tried to reason.
“If you're doing this, then I’m doing this.” Loki cut her off, “Besides, they aren’t waiting for me. No one is.”
“It’s happening guys, the branch will be right there.” Kid pointed out, his machine sounding off.
Mobius made a Timedoor. Ready to leave. “I’ll give your regards to Reinslayer.”
“Oh, please do.” Sylvie said amused.
Mobius then turned to the three other Variants, “You boys want a ticket out of here.”
“What? No, we’re staying here.” Kid said quickly.
“This is our home.” Classic agreed.
“You sure? What about Alioth?” Loki pressed.
“We survived this long. We know what we’re doing.” Classic explained.
“You’ve said it yourself. He isn’t waiting for me. No one is.” Kid spoke again, looking at Loki. “You’re going to need this for your journey.”
Kid then conjured up a blade. Laevateinn. With care Loki grabbed the blade, and made a sheath to hold it on his back.
“Good luck. I hope you find what you’re looking for.” Loki nodded in appreciation. The group of three split off, going to do their part of the task.
Mobius made his way towards the door, before exchanging words with the two Variants that changed his life.
“Looks like you got away in the end.”
“I always do.” Loki stated. Sad to see his friend leave. “What will you do to the TVA?”
“Burn it to the ground.” Mobius said without hesitation. Which received looks of approval from the two Variants. “Thanks for the spark. Well, see you later Loki.”
Loki looked at Mobius’ hand, before pulling him into a hug, “Thank you, my friend.” Looking over Loki’s shoulder he whispered to Sylvie, “You’re my favorite.”
They release one another and Mobius walks through the Timedoor, closing behind him. Leaving the two Variants alone on the cliff. They stared at the enemy, ready to face it.
As the two approached the branch readying to face it, Loki ran off to cause a distraction, the branch taking too long. Sylvie started to enchant it, but Alioth shifted it’s attention to Sylvie, going to stop her from taking over.
Loki ran over yelling at the beast. Trying to get it away from Sylvie before a green light shone.
There on the other side of Alioth was Classic Loki, producing an illusion of Asgard, so real that Alioth went towards it. The urge to consume it is great. But one thing about the illusion, is that there is a tiny cottage a few paces where Classic was standing. It looked warm and new, like someone kept it from becoming old. Like an old home.
Loki met up with Sylvie looking as their old home was being made right in front of them. Just like they remembered.
“GO!” Classic’s yell echoed towards the two. Sylvie grabbed Loki’s hand, he looked at her with surprise.
“What are you doing?” He yelled.
“We are going to enchant it.”
“I don’t know how.” He stated, insecurity started to peek through.
“Yes you do because we are the same.” She encouraged. Sylvie walked them towards Alioth.
Alioth had gone straight for the tall Asgardian palace, but it disappeared before he could eat it. He then went for another building but it disappeared too.
Classic struggled to keep the image, his strength not as strong as it was before. Soon Alioth surrounded Asgard and it began to fall, like it did before.
Sylvie interlaced their fingers. Encouraging Loki more. His hand started to glow, enchanting it too.
Classic falls to his knees. The Asgard replica disappeared faster as Alioth went towards the source. The cottage disappeared slower than the rest. Like it was burning down in a fire, taking its time to become destroyed.
Classic stood once more, trying to use his magic again. “Glorious Purpose!” He yelled, laughing at the end. The cottage now gone, tears in his eyes. One long thought before meeting his demise.
‘Together again, my Julie-Rose.’
Then he was gone, only his helmet remained, rusted and old. Alioth turned quickly, heading towards the other threats. Roaring at them.
Sylvie closed her eyes, concentrating harder. Loki followed suit. And in that moment, time seemed to stop for the both of them. They weren’t in danger anymore, they were safe.
Sylvie felt a hand rub against her naked back. The soft sheets trapped the warmth that his body provided. She sighed at the comfort. His heart beat music to her ears. Light kisses pressed to her head and temple.
“So strong, very, very strong.” He whispered, not wanting to ruin the mood of their little bubble, “So I know that you got this. I have total faith in you.”
Sylvie moved her head back and looked at his face. His hazel eyes staring back at her. The millions of freckles scattered across his face were invisible in the dim lighting. His black hair is messy, and his pink lips are still swollen. She teared up, now able to see his face much more clear.
“So beat this damn thing, and come find me again. My Sylvie.”
Her magic came out stronger.
A warm breeze moved some of his hair. The warm sun on his skin was welcoming. Loki’s normal armor discarded for more comfortable clothing. A field of flowers and grass in his view, trees swaying this the breeze that’s blowing through.
Gently an object is placed on his head, and a giggle fills his ears. Y/n moves over into his view. A flower crown on their head as well.
“You look marvelous, my love.” Their tone light. Soft. Warm. Just like the breeze.
“As do you, darling.” Loki responded with a smile resting on his lips. He held out his arms, Y/n moved closer to him, resting on his chest and looking out at the fields of flowers and grass.
“Thank you.”
“For what my dear?” Y/n asked. Turning their body to face Loki.
“For choosing me.”
“I will always choose you. You know why?” They asked, even though they had no intention to let him answer. “Because you are fearless. You are brave. You are loyal. You are strong. Because you are Loki. And my Loki is loved, my Loki is handsome and beautiful, my Loki is human. My Loki can do anything.”
Tears welled up in his eyes. The love radiating off of them is too much for him. They lifted their hand and wiped off the tears that fell without his knowledge. He leaned into their touch.
“I love you so much, Y/n.” Loki’s voice soft.
“And I love you.” They pulled him into a kiss, sweet and passionate. “Now, get that beast. And come find me.”
His magic came out stronger too.
As their enchantment combined Alioth froze in the air. It's dark clouds are now lightened with green.
Sylvie opened her eyes first, a strong exhale left her lips. She looked over at Loki, his eyes still closed. A tear rolling down softly.
“Open your eyes.” She requested. Slowly he opened his eyes, and saw what he did. Saw what they did.
Former Alioth’s clouds parted ways revealing a castle of some kind. It looked old and abandoned. Sylvie looked at Loki, Loki looked at her. The two shared a nob and walked forward. Hand in hand.
One long thought as they approached their next challenge.
‘I will find you.’

Wiping away the tears that managed to spill down your cheeks, the sniffles not having subsided just yet.
You couldn’t stand confrontation, especially when it came to one of your loved ones. Voicing your opinion only pushed the matter to become worse, and the envelope ripped open to reveal anger, hurt, and demise. Words were exchanged and as someone who experienced bouts of anxiety; it was detrimental.
Having no real destination planned in mind, you found your way down the streets of New York, aimlessly searching. The rain was in a light drizzle, thunderstorm clouds gathering overhead for an enraged downpour. You just hoped you made it to wherever you were going without getting completely soaked.
Grasping the fabric of your t-shirt, you could feel your heart pounding violently in your chest. Squeezing your eyes shut, your hands shook as you tried to work your way through breathing.
If you could just steady yourself long enough, you’d be okay. But when a loud crash of thunder sounded overhead, it made you yelp and begin racing faster down the length of the sidewalk.
Gazing to your left, the solid black front door caught your attention, the familiar home seeming too inviting.
Loki.
Cutting over the lawn and pressing your sneaker-covered feet on the steps to the small wrap-around porch, your eyes were met with the gold-embellished doorbell. Inhaling sharply, a streak of lightning illuminated the sky and pushed you onward to ringing the bell.
“Please wake up, please wake up…” You trailed softly under your breath, tears still bubbling in your eyes. You glanced up to the second floor to the flicker of light break through the curtains of the bedroom. Breathing out a small sigh of relief, it wasn’t long before the door was being pulled open.
“Darling?” Loki’s sultry voice called out to you. He saw the ends of your hair dripping with water and without hesitation, he reached forward and pulled you inside.
Closing the door, his blue orbs cast into yours and he quickly saw the look of fear present in your eyes. He was able to pick up on your moods with ease.
“What happened?” Loki questioned, already taking your hand and leading you up the staircase toward his bedroom. You remained quiet, unsure of what to say.
“It’s nothing…. It’s stupid, really. I got into a fight with one of my family members. It’s okay, we just exchanged words, but… You know how I am.” You said sheepishly, a few tears streaming down your face. Loki had led you into the comfort of his bedroom where he soon was helping you change out of your dampened clothes. As he pulled one of his larger shirts over your frame, a loud crash of thunder sounded, causing you to jump closer to his chest.
Loki wrapped his arms protectively around you. “It’s okay,” He said, planting his lips to your forehead. “But why were you out there tonight, Darling?” He questioned.
You shook your head. “I couldn’t bear to go home and be alone… I was hoping maybe I could stay here for the night.” You breathed out uneasily.
Loki’s eyes pooled into yours. “Love, my home is yours. Of course, you can stay here. I just want you to be okay and feel safe.” He whispered. He could feel your body shaking against his, seeing as your breaths came in labored pants. Quickly, he took your hands into his.
“Hey, look at me,” Loki softly spoke. Your eyes lifted to meet his and Loki held your gaze intensely. “Deep breaths, okay? You’re going to run yourself into another panic attack if you aren’t careful… Focus on me, Love. I’m right here.” He encouraged you to take big breaths. Soon, you were following his breathing pattern and a wave of calm slowly began to flood over you.
Loki led you beneath the blankets. He removed his shirt for the second time tonight and tossed it over the chair by his reading nook. Wrapping his arm around you, he kissed your temple and felt as you curled into him.
His grip on you relaxed as you rolled onto his chest. Burying your nose into the crook of his neck, Loki began to draw circles into your back. You smiled gently, your lover nuzzling closer into you.
Pretty soon, you had drifted off into a peaceful sleep. Loki’s arms were secured around you as he planted one more gentle kiss to the top of your head, whispering a sweet ‘goodnight’ into your ear before turning off the light and giving in to his own rest.

Pairing: Loki x shy!autistic!fem!reader
Summary: Accidentally getting caught up in a chain of events outside your control was not on your bucket list. But neither was working for SHIELD. Or being able to read the mind of a certain Asgardian captured by SHIELD…
Warnings/tags: Fluff, soft Loki, angst, reader hates their job, mind-reading, implied concussion, mention of stabbing, minor character death, mentions of injuries, probably OOC Loki? (I don't really know…), probably confusing dialogue, morally questionable SHIELD
A/N: I'm so sorry I haven't posted in so long, life's just been really busy lately.
*******************************************************************
Working for SHIELD was not on your bucket list. In fact, you didn't even know that the organisation existed until you'd dropped out of school, and started looking for work. You'd started as a lab intern, but you got promoted to lab assistant - and then you got onto SHIELD's radar.
In a good way, fortunately. You ended up getting a job there, and now you're one of the top lab assistants. You've worked with (well, for) some of the best scientists in the world. Some were nice, some not so nice, some just average.
Like your previous employer, Dr Selvig, who mysteriously disappeared quite recently.
And now you're stuck being a lab assistant to Dr Banner, who's probably the most dangerous person on the whole ship. Sure, he's not the worst scientist you've ever had to be a personal assistant to; in fact, he's actually really nice. One of the best, in fact.
Even so, you're pretty on edge around him. You're not the best with people, and the only reason you even agreed to the position of lab assistant in the first place was because, well, you thought that it would be only a few people that you'd have to interact with that would all be as awkward as you.
Unfortunately, that's not the case. Apparently, being a lab assistant also means acting as a mediator between the agents and the scientists - something you've never been great at, as it requires, well, people skills. Good people skills.
Fortunately, Dr Banner doesn't seem to be having any trouble like that, so far, and another guy's helping him out with whatever they're supposed to be doing (SHIELD is annoyingly 'hush-hush' about that sort of thing), which renders you pretty much useless as far as helping is concerned.
That's why you're glad that Banner lets you do pretty much whatever you like. He doesn't like being disturbed while he's working, he doesn't want to talk with the agents until he's found something of value - and that other guy, Sparks or something, is already playing assistant.
But still, knowing that he could lose control, and turn into a giant green rage monster at any point has been doing a pretty good job of keeping you on edge.
Sure, there's a dangerous guy locked up in the cage downstairs, who's apparently from another planet, and is ridiculously overpowered by all accounts, but - he's locked up. Banner isn't. And - well, you don't really know how the whole Hulk thing works. Does he get a nasty mood swing that turns him into Hulk? Is it under immense stress? Or does it just come on randomly?
One of the advantages of having pretty much free rein on a SHIELD hideout is that you can find out some pretty interesting stuff about the history of SHIELD, past cases, etc., and if anyone asks, you can just say it's for your job. It's just unfortunate that you aren't allowed to use your knowledge in trivia quizzes, and have to play clueless like other people.
"L/N? Where are you going?" You bite back a groan as you turn around.
It's just unfortunate that Agent Romanoff's seen you leaving the lab. You've never really been sure what to make of her. She's never been overtly mean to you, but she does have a habit of sticking her nose into your business, which you find kind of annoying, especially as you're a fairly private person.
"Aren't you supposed to be helping Dr Banner?" she asks.
You have to fight the urge to sigh. "He doesn't want to be disturbed while he's working."
"You should still stick around, though."
You shake your head. "He told me he doesn't like having people hovering over him unless they're actually helping."
Romanoff considers this for a moment, before nodding. "Okay, well, I actually have a job for you. I know it's not exactly in your skill-set, but - well, we still don't know what Loki's planning to do, so I need you to go and talk to him for me, see if he lets anything slip about his plans."
You nod. "Yes, Agent."
As you walk off, your mind's racing. I've got to talk to Loki, the second most dangerous person on the entire ship, a guy so powerful that it took the combined efforts of Sparks, Richards, Romanoff, and a couple others to even capture him? What if he attacks me? What if he gets inside my head? What if-
"L/N?"
Wonderful.
It's Agent Hill. "What are you doing?"
"An errand for Agent Romanoff."
You're surprised at how quickly her manner becomes more approving when she hears Romanoff's name. This could be a get-out-of-jail-free card for the next time I get caught snooping!
But even after that delightful discover, you're still very nervous by the time you reach the cage where Loki's being held, so much so that you end up debating with yourself about whether to even open the door.
Come on, Y/N, you have to open the door. You have to talk to him.
But he's dangerous! He might kill me!
He's in a cage that'll drop out of the helicarrier if he tries to break it, much less attack you.
But the mechanism might fail!
There's a button on the control pad that you can press that will do the exact same thing.
I don't want to do this!
Look, you promised Agent Romanoff you'd do it. You don't have to stay very long. Just ask him a couple questions, and then run away. You don't even have to stay to hear his answer; they can probably see him on the security cameras anyway.
Even so, for all your rationalising, you're still pretty scared when you finally push the door open, and step inside.
Maybe he won't hear me if I keep quiet. Maybe I can jumpscare him.
No such luck. Loki snaps his head around the minute you step inside.
He's actually a lot less scary-looking than you imagined he'd be.
Well, apart from his eyes. They're a glowing, unnatural blue that reminds you eerily of that weird spear-scimitar hybrid that Sparks and Banner are working on.
You can hear your heart pounding in your ears. Your lungs are struggling to fill with air, making you hyperventilate.
What am I even supposed to ask him? 'Hi, how's your day going? Oh, and by the way, could you very kindly tell me what exactly your plans are for invading Earth?'
Bang!
You jump back as Loki slams his fist on the glass.
"How did you get into my head?" he hisses.
Your first instinct would have been to run away, but you're so terrified that you can barely think straight, let alone run away.
He thumps the glass again. "Answer me!"
Tears begin to fill your eyes, partly from the shock, but also from his manner. You can see now why he's so dangerous; he can be absolutely terrifying when he wants to be.
"I - I don't know what you're talking about," you gasp, trying hard to hold back your tears.
"Don't lie to me." Loki's voice is quieter now, but more menacing. "Tell me how you got into my head!"
"I didn't!" Your voice is getting more and more high-pitched. "I swear!"
"Then why did I hear your voice while your lips weren't moving?"
"You can read thoughts?"
"When I choose to."
So he didn't-
"Why would I bother myself with the thoughts of a mere mortal?"
Darn. I forgot he could read thoughts.
"I'm not trying to read your thoughts, mortal," snaps Loki. "Now would you say something?"
You open your mouth, but it's completely dry, so you close it again, while trying to work out what you're going to say.
Then a wave of anger hits you.
You know what? you decide. Screw Romanoff. Screw Fury. Screw SHIELD. I'm sick of them, pretending like they're better than everyone else just because they work for the government.
You can tell Loki's listening in, but you don't care. Let him listen. Let him hear exactly what goes on inside my head.
"Tell me about yourself," says Loki suddenly, in a much more civil tone than before. "How did you start working for SHIELD?"
I got too good at my job, so Fury forced me to work for him. Outwardly, you say, "It was an internship."
Loki nods. "What do you want from me?"
Well, not from you specifically, but I'd quite like to quit this job, and go back to being a civilian. "Why… why would I tell you that?"
Loki just smirks. "I think you know why, mortal."
I don't want to tell you.
Loki chuckles. "Don't you trust me?"
I don't know who to trust anymore. "Why would I trust someone fighting the organisation I work for?"
Loki's suddenly serious. "Do you trust SHIELD?"
I thought I did. But after I read the files… "Of course." You're shocked at how easily the lie slips off your tongue. What have I become?
"L/N!"
It's Fury. And he looks like he's living up to his name quite well.
"What do you think you're doing?"
Your mind goes blank for a moment. "Uh… Romanoff asked me to interrogate Loki."
"Well, it doesn't look much like an interrogation to me. Seems like Loki's doing most of the asking."
Maybe there's different types. "Well - I'm - I'm going to ask him questions."
Fury sighs. "Fine. Just - don't get too close. He's a master of manipulation, L/N. He'll get inside your head, if you let him."
Well, I wasn't letting him. "Yes, sir."
After he's left, you turn back to Loki with a sigh. "Where were we?"
L/N, I need you to pay attention to me. In a few minutes, Barton will be breaking in with enemies of SHIELD, who work for me. I need you to stay low, draw as little attention to yourself as possible. Stay near me if you can. And get rid of that uniform, or they will kill you.
You try hard to keep your emotions in check. Why are you doing this? Why are you helping me?
There's no time to explain. Are you with me or not?
You consider for a moment. What has SHIELD ever done for me? For any of its agents? I don't even like the organisation, so why…
Loki sighs. What have you to lose?
Everything, if you lose. But… you know what? Screw SHIELD. I was planning to leave them anyway, at least once this mission was over, so why not leave now?
Loki smirks. "You have no questions for me, L/N?"
It's Y/N. "I did, but then Fury interrupted, and I forgot."
"Well, I'd rather like to hear some questions, all the same." What do you have to offer me, Y/N? I'm not doing this purely out of the goodness of my heart.
If we fail, I act as a double-double agent, and see if I can get you the lightest sentence possible. You'd still be incarcerated for a while, but it would be shorter than life - and better than going to the electric chair. If we succeed - well, I'm not sure. "How - how old are you?"
Loki chuckles again. "What a silly question. I am around one thousand and fifty years old - which is equivalent to around twenty-one of your years." That sounds fair enough.
How do I know you'll keep your word? "Um - well - do you have any siblings?"
"A brother. His name's Thor. You may have seen him." I promise to you, Y/N, on all I hold dear, I will protect you.
Cross your heart? "The blonde guy carrying the big hammer?"
Loki nods. "Yes." Cross my heart?
It's a kind of promise. Cross my heart, hope to die. Or you could swear on your mother's life. "Well - um… he mentioned you were adopted."
"That's correct." Well, if it makes you feel better - cross my heart, hope to die. But I already promised on my mother's life.
And you'll keep that promise? "How old were you when you were adopted?"
"I was a baby." I will.
Should I leave? "So, like, a birth adoption?"
Loki shakes his head. "I don't want to talk about it." No, stay here. You'll be safer near me.
But what about my uniform? "Well - um…"
"No more questions, hm? You don't seem to have learned very much about me." When I get out, I can cast an illusion to hide your uniform.
Should I help you break out? "Well, I learned a bit about your family and childhood. That's something, right?"
"But you still have no idea of my plans." Do you know how?
I think I could figure it out. Or Barton could get you out. "That's true…"
Crash!
The whole aircraft gives a massive shudder, the impact knocking you to the floor.
For a moment, you're dazed, unsure what to do next.
Looking up, you see that the security cameras around the cage are broken. Not that it matters whether anyone sees you now.
Struggling to your feet, you stagger to the control panel, and try to figure out which button to press to open the cage.
After trying a few random buttons, which fortunately do nothing untoward, you find the right one, and press it.
Stepping out, Loki takes a long look at you, before putting his hand on your shoulder.
"There," he says softly. "You should be safe now. Just stay with me."
Looking down, you see that your SHIELD uniform is gone, replaced by plain black clothes. "Thanks."
"Don't thank me yet. Do you have a weapon?"
You shake your head. "I'm not allowed."
Loki points to your belt. "You are now."
That's when you realise there's a holster on your belt - with a gun in it. Taking it out, you take a good look at the gun. You don't know very much about guns, but it looks pretty powerful.
"Come on," mutters Loki. "We can't just stand here."
"Sorry," you mumble, hastily putting the gun back into the holster.
You feel Loki tense behind you before you hear the heavy footsteps entering the room.
Stay still.
You obey without question, your mouth dry, as you watch Loki cast an illusion.
"No!"
Clang!
It's Loki's brother, Thor. And he's locked in the cage.
"Are you ever not going to fall for that?"
Loki's words make you want to laugh. Despite everything, it seems that he and Thor still have a sibling dynamic.
"Brother-" Thor's voice is low, threatening.
An illusion of Loki walks up to the control panel. "The humans think us immortal. Should we test that?"
In desperation, Thor throws his hammer at the cage wall. It manages to crack the glass, but then the bars holding the cage in place start to give way.
Loki's hand hovers over the button, ready to press it.
"Move away, please."
You turn, and - oh, of all the miserable luck!
It's Coulson. And he's holding a pretty lethal-looking weapon.
"You like this? It's a prototype we started working on after you sent the Destroyer to Earth. I don't even know what it does, but I'm pretty interested in finding out."
Loki begins to back away - and then disappears.
The real Loki appears behind Coulson, stabbing him in the chest.
"No!" yells Thor.
Ignoring him, Loki walks over to the control panel, and pushes the button.
You have to suppress an audible gasp as Thor is thrown out of the aircraft.
Loki gestures to you. "Come on."
You obey, scuttling up to him, trying not to look at Coulson's body, which is now slumped on the floor.
"You're going to lose."
Both you and Loki turn around to see that Coulson's still alive.
Loki lets out a soft laugh. "Am I?"
"It's in your nature."
Loki shakes his head. "Your heroes are scattered; your floating fortress falls from the sky. Where is my disadvantage?"
"You lack conviction."
"I don't think I-"
Bang!
Coulson fires his weapon, which sends you and Loki flying through the wall.
Fortunately, Loki was standing in front of you, and took the brunt of the blast, but you're still in a lot of pain, and you're pretty sure you've cracked some ribs.
"Y/N!" Loki gets up, and rushes towards you. "Are you alright?"
You nod. We should go.
"Come." Loki helps you up.
You're grateful for his concern, but you're not planning on telling him how you really feel. Not yet, anyway. Your whole body hurts, which makes you wonder if you're more injured than you first thought. Maybe the adrenaline's masking it.
Your suspicions are confirmed when your knee buckles, nearly sending you down a flight of stairs.
Loki catches you before you can fall. He gives you a look, but picks you up in his arms without a word.
You nearly yelp at the unfamiliar sensation, but you're grateful for the support. You're pretty much certain that you're badly hurt, and you doubt you could have gone the rest of the way by yourself.
A jet's waiting for you when you finally get out of the aircraft.
Loki's still holding you as he steps onto the jet, maneuvering you onto his lap as he sits down.
As the jet takes off, Loki gives a few orders, before turning his attention back to you.
Let's have no more lying, please, he begins, rather sternly. Now, how do you really feel?
You stare at the floor. I don't know. I know I'm injured, but…
Loki's face softens slightly. I'll get a medic to see to you once we land. You do need to rest, so just try to relax for now.
You try to do as he says, but it feels kind of weird. It's been a long time since you've had this much physical contact, even longer since you've sat on someone's lap, and even longer since you've been held in someone's arms.
Loki…
Yes?
Why are you helping me? I'm literally supposed to be a SHIELD agent. Or are you just taking me hostage for ransom or something?
Loki sighs, shifting you into a more comfortable position. I'm not taking you hostage, sweet. Look, Y/N, I know you won't believe me, but - I really am helping you - I really want to help you. But I can't tell you why. Not yet, anyway.
Couldn't you tell me at least one reason?
Loki's mouth turns up slightly. Well, it's been a long time since someone confided in me.
But what about your brother? Hasn't he confided in you before?
Not for a long time. Loki's arms tighten around you as the jet dips. And listen, once this is over, I will tell you why I'm helping you. But for now, you need to trust me.
Well, I don't really have much of a choice, do I? I'm injured, you're about a hundred times stronger than me, and I'm in a jet with a load of guys who'll kill me if I attack you.
Loki brushes a strand of hair out of your eyes. You should rest. I doubt you could attack even a human right now, let alone me.
Sighing, you close your eyes, and rest your head on his shoulder, suddenly feeling very tired. Your whole body's really hurting now, and it's getting difficult to breathe, but you're too exhausted to care.
You're painfully jolted awake when the jet lands.
You hear Loki curse under his breath. "Are you alright?" he asks you.
You're too tired to respond.
Answer me. Are you hurt?
I don't know. Leave me alone…
You feel Loki's hand rest on your forehead, before moving down to cup your cheek. "We need to get you to a healer."
And then everything goes black.

Hi love 🖤
I want to start by congratulating you on reaching 100 followers; you deserve every single one! 🥳
Second of all, I would love to make a request for your celebration, and this one will be for none other than our most wonderful God of Mischief, Loki! 💚
This story can be as either a regular or best friend or partner, whichever you think fits best with this story! But since Loki is of course the God of Mischief, what would a prank war with him look like?
Him and Reader pranking each other in a lot of different ways, all with the goal of making everyone laugh of course, we don't want anyone to intentionally get hurt during this!
I can't wait to see where you're going to take this idea, and once again, congratulations on reaching this wonderful milestone 🖤
Loki x Reader
A/N Firstly, I want to say thanks for your support xoxo. Secondly, thanks for the ask and I was very excited when I first saw it. I hope I write Loki's character right since I love him but have never written for him before. I also decided to make Loki and the reader a couple and I only used he/him pronouns for Loki but I am aware that Loki is genderfluid so next time I write a fic I will make sure to include that. This is a part of my 100 followers celebration and likes, comments and reblogs are appreciated.
THIS IS NOT AN 18+ FIC BUT I STILL FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE WITH MINORS READING MY FICS SO PLEASE DNI IF YOU ARE A MINOR.
Summary
DO NOT REPOST ONTO ANY OTHER APPS/WEBSITES. THE ONLY PLACE THIS FIC IS ON IS TUMBLR.
Warnings Fluff
Loki was the God of mischief. There was no doubt about that and he even carried his mischievous tendencies into your relationship. That was why there was an unnofficial prank war going on between both of you.
It all started when Loki set up a flour bomb but used his powers to mask it which made it invisible.
You were thinking of a way to trick Loki and decided on hiding all his books.
-----------------------------------------------------------
“Do you know where my books are darling?” Loki asked you.
“No babe,” you responded, trying to stop yourself from smiling.
“Ok,” he replied.
A few minutes later, he walked back into the room, “Are you sure you don’t know where any of my books are my love?” he asked, crossing his arms.
“I told you I don’t know, you must have misplaced them,” you shrugged.
“I can’t have misplaced seven books darling,” he told you with his right eyebrows raised.
He looked around everywhere in the living room and walked back out in search of his ‘misplaced books’.
Once you knew he had gone, you took the books out from under the couch and placed them in a pile on the coffee table.
“My love, where on this god forsaken planet have you put my books,” Loki asked, walking back into the room.
“They’re on the coffee table love,” you said, desperately trying to hold in your laugh.
Loki huffed and looked at the coffee table where his books were.
“I can assure you my love, the books weren’t there earlier,” he stated, crossing his arms again but this time he had a smile on his face.
This made your facade crack and you burst out laughing.
“Do you think this is funny darling?” he questioned, walking over to you on the couch.
He leaned over and started to tickle you, “I won’t stop until you apoligose my love.”
“I-I’m sorry b-babe,” you weezed out.
Loki stopped tickling you and gave you a chassed kiss.
“It was payback for the flour bomb,” you told him.
“So does that mean you declare a war,” he proposed.
“Yes. I am declaring a prank war,” you said, crossing your arms and sitting up straight.
“You’re going to regret this love. You’re messing with the God of Mischeif,” he said matter-of-factly.
“I can take you,” you declared.
“It’s official then,” Loki announced.
“I think we need to officially seal it though,” you said.
“How do you suppose we do that?” Loki inquired.
“I think we should kiss to seal the deal.”
“That sound fair.”
You kissed Loki and then he picked his books up and left the room.
--------------------------------------------------------
It had been a few days since you had declared a prank war on Loki and you both haddn’t made a move yet. That was until today.
Loki knew you enjoyed baking on the weekends so he decided to prank you today.
He grabbed the carton of six eggs and took them out of the fridge. He filled a pan with water and put it on the hob he turned on a few minutes prior. Then, he put the eggs in when the water was boiling and waited until he knew they were hard-boiled.
Although Loki was unskilled in the kitchen due to his upbringing, he was still taught some basic skills and one of them happened to be boiling eggs.
Loki took the eggs out of the pan and waited for them to cool down before putting them back in the carton.
He cleared his tracks and started to make coffee and pancakes for both of you.
As he was halfway through flipping pancakes, you walked into the kitchen and wrapped your arms around him.
You kissed his back before saying, “good morning babe.”
“Good morning love, how did you sleep?”
“It was alright, and you?” you grabbed your coffee and sat down at the kitchen table.
“I always sleep well when you’re in bed,” his response was a little too kind compared to his usual responses.
Loki wasn’t mean to you -he was far from it- but he usually pulled that line out if he felt particularly cuddly or if you went to sleep mad at each other (which was an infrequent occurrence), making it seem more out of place.
You just shrugged it off and carried on with your morning as usual.
At around 12 o’clock, you turned to Loki on the couch and asked if you had any eggs he responded that you did so you decided to bake a cake for the two of you.
Loki had been acting weird all morning but you couldn’t put your finger on it. You concluded that he wasn’t feeling too good (mentally or physically) so baking would allow you to give him space and make him something he enjoys.
You got all the ingredients out and started to measure them. Once that was done, you mixed the butter and sugar together before reaching over to the eggs. You grabbed the first one and tried to crack it on the side of the bowl.
You were extremely confused when only the shell cracked. Without thinking, you reached for another egg but the same thing happened. You looked a little closer and peeled the shell off.
That’s when you realised why Loki had been acting strange all morning.
You walked into the living room with the two eggs and saw Loki reading a book. You strolled over and grabbed the book out of his hand which made Loki smirk.
“So you found my little surprise my darling.”
“Yeah I did,” you retorted, putting both hands on your hips, “Do we actually have any eggs or have you boiled them all?”
“Theres a spare carton of eggs hidden behind the cheese and yoghurts.”
“I’m gonna get you back for this,” you assured him.
“Oh, I’m sure you will love,” he almost whispered, to which you responded by putting your middle finger up at him as you walked out the room.
I’m considering doing part two because I have a few different prank ideas, but I don’t want to make this fic too long. Idk about you guys but I have a shit attention span which means I struggle to read longer fics but if that is what you want then comment below and I will make fics longer in the future.
