The Element - Loki / Avengers x Reader

It had been 30 minutes since the team left to go assist with the protests. Y/N was standing at the large windows overlooking the City , tea in hand, still aching from the mornings sessions.

'Where is he?' She thought to herself. 'Oh well, he's bad company anyway'.

She shuffled back over to the sofa and turned on the tv to pass some time. The list of channels were endless. Every possible show you could imagine. So she opted for her usual go-to sitcom. Friends.

*lokis pov*

I'm alone with the midgardian. Do I have some fun and tease her or do I stay here. I wondered whilst slouched on the bed.

Let's have some fun.

Even though the iron man had put this annoying device on my arm I could still use simple forms of my powers such as teleporting. I teleported to the living room and could see the girl over by the sofas.

"Hey Loki" she turned to me, then retreated back to her idiotic midgardian television. I ignored her and went to the kitchen to make tea.

*y/n pov"

Great. He's returned. I thought to myself.

He brings such a cold presence to a room. It's like death has walked in.

He walks over to the kitchen to make himself a drink. It's okay Loki I don't want one, but thanks for asking.  I couldn't help but roll my eyes to myself.

He grabbed his drink and I could see out of the corner of my eye him sitting in one of the chairs diagonally from me. I could feel him staring.

*normal pov*

Y/n sighed and switched the tv off and headed back towards the elevator to go back to her room.

Suddenly Loki teleported in front of her, blocking her way.

"What are you doing?" She asked. She was shocked but equally pissed off. She was tired and sore and wanted to go lay down.

"Do you honestly think that I'm going to let you get away with speaking to me like that you pathetic little girl" Loki spat with a dagger drawn.

He slowly started walking towards Y/N , making her back away from him.

"Loki give it a rest. I'm not fighting you. I'm going to go lay down"Y/N sighed and tried to push past him.

Suddenly a hand grabbed her by the back of the neck and launched her back into the living room. Y/N stumbled and was now on the floor.

"Fight me" Loki demanded. He was now standing above her.

"What the hell is wrong with you!? Back off." Y/N shouted whilst getting back to her feet.

Whilst she was trying to steady herself , Loki lunged forward to grab her. Y/N grabbed his arm before he could grab hers and twisted it behind his back.

He chuckled.

"You're learning well pet. Let's see what you've got" with that, Loki spun around and pinned Y/N against the wall. His piercing blue eyes stared down at her and smiled.

Y/N was getting angry. She was aching and tired and didn't want to fight but she knew she had to do something to get him to leave her alone.

Ripples started to appear on her hands and in a flash Loki was launched across the room.  He picked himself up and began his way back to Y/N.

"Stop it , I can't control it!" She begged

"All the more reason my dear" he chuckled again. He was trying to get her to cause damage. She knew if she lost control without Tony and Bruce around, she would be in trouble. So she stopped. And let Loki come for her.

"What's the matter darling ? Worn out already?" Loki egged her on.

It was like a tiger stalking their prey. He eyed Y/N up and down, studied her moving, her breathing, everything.

"Loki I'm not fighting you. Go away" Y/N walked back over the the elevator, only to be struck by him again, sending her flying into the dining room chairs. She could feel blood pouring down her face.

"Get up" he ordered.

Y/N stood up and tried to get to her feet. She quickly sat back down on the floor, too dizzy to stand. The next thing puzzled her.

Loki came to her side with a wet cloth and wiped away the blood from her face. He helped her up and sat her down on the sofa.

"Tell Tony and you'll wish I had finished this fight" he stared at Y/N and walked away to the elevator. He went back to his room.

*Y/N's POV*

What the hell was that.

My head hurt. Not just from it being thrown against a wall or set of dining chairs but it hurt from sheer confusion.

People say women are confusing. This man. This being. This person was infuriatingly confusing. He attacked me. He tried to make me attack him. Then he helped me. And finally, he threatened me.

I'm not having it.

I stomped into the elevator and marched up to his door which was a few feet down from mine. I've never knocked on a door so angrily before.

"Loki! Get out here!" I shouted.

The door flew open and there he was, standing in front of me with a frown on his face.

"What?" He said

"What the heck was that downstairs ? You attacked me ? You... you helped me? And then..." before I could finish the sentence he raised his hand to stop me.

"Shush mortal. I don't have to explain myself to you. Just know that we will finish that fight. You will show me your abilities. And you will not speak to me in such a manner again" he demanded.

"B...but. What? Do you know what, whatever. I'm too tired for this" I stomped back to my bedroom. He closed his door with a chuckle and left me even more confused than before.

I knew he was a dangerous person but insane was not on the top of my description list for him. Deluded yes , sadistic, maybe ? I'm keeping my distance from him. At least until I can strengthen my abilities and control myself

*normal pov*

Y/N closed her door behind her and went to the bathroom to clean herself up and change out of her workout gear.

She grabbed some of her knitting needles and wool and headed back downstairs to the living room and settled on the sofa.

The team returned shortly after and were still head to toe in their uniforms but decked with fresh injuries.
"Hey guys, are you okay? Need any help?" Y/N stood to greet the team looking worried. Clint was being held up by Thor with an obvious stab wound to his thigh. Nat had cuts all over her face and the rest were covered in what looked like paint ball fluid and mud.
"Oh we are just fine kid. Coffee will do. How was reindeer games? Did he behave?" Tony asked whilst removing his iron man suit.

*"Tell Tony and you'll wish I had finished this fight"* Y/N thought back to what Loki had said earlier.

"He was fine. He only left his room to get coffee" She lied. Fortunately her back was to the team and She was busy making everyone a hot drink for them to notice.
"How was the mission?" She changed the subject.
"Oh you know, same old. People were angry. Wanted a lot of people to know about it. Caused some mess. Blah blah blah" Clint said.
"Lady Y/N you look as though you have been to battle" Thor said whilst turning her towards him in the kitchen.
"Nat and I had a good few rounds earlier. I'm fine." She lied again.
"You'll get used to that!" Steve shouted from across the room whilst helping Bruce settle on the chair. He was still slightly green so Steve made sure to make him comfortable.

The team settled in for the evening and cuddled up in the lounge in front of the television to watch y/n favourite films. Star Wars. She insisted that Clint and Nat watched it as only her, Steve and Bruce had seen them all and were able to quote and chat about it together. Thor tried to understand it but was more curious about why Chewbacca wasn't a real living creature as he wanted one 'as a pet'.

Soon everyone started stumbling back off to their rooms for the night , including yourself and you readied yourself for the next day of training.
