A Maximoff Secret

He's in her head

TW: Knives, mentioning of killing

Y/n's POV

I flicked over the channel again and looked at my phone. 6:00am. I couldn't go back to sleep, too scared Loki would reappear in my dreams. I spent the last few hours flicking through all the channels not being able to concentrate on anything. I still had this pain in my head so I got up to go to the kitchen to get some painkillers.

Just as I swallowed the last tablet I heard the door open behind me. "Y/n?" Steve says. I turn around and see Steve standing there, wearing nothing but a pair of light blue joggers, his ripped upper body on display. "Oh hey Steve" I say, giving him a sad smile.

Steve grabs a stool and sits on the opposite side of the kitchen island. "I guessed you'd be up, are you okay?" Steve asked, concern written all over his face.

I let my shoulders fall and put my face in my hands. "I mean no but can you blame me? Loki said he controls me Steve, he was in my head" I hold in the tears and lift my face out of my hands.

Steve let's out a sigh. "But why would it be Loki you think you're seeing Y/n? He's dead" Why doesn't anyone believe me that it was real...

I turn my back to Steve to look out the window, just as the sun is starting to light up the sky. "Are you sure he's dead? I researched him after you all went to bed and this isn't his first time to 'd!e'"

"Y/n he's dead, it was only a dream. Come on come upstairs with me, you can stay with me" Steve says as he gets up and walks over to me.

I push back Steve with my arm and look up at his blue eyes. "Just stay back please... what am I supposed to do? He thinks he has control over me"

Steve steps back and leans against the counter. "I don't know Y/n but we will figure it out I promise"

Suddenly my mind goes blank and I'm back in that black space. No, no this can't be happening again I'm awake!

"Y/n don't say a word I always have control over you" NO! ITS LOKI IN MY HEAD NO-

Steve's POV

"Y/n?" She's just staring into space. I can't tell if she's lost in thought or just ignoring me. I grab her hand and she looks at me as if I have two heads.

Next thing Y/n grabs a knife and before I can even stop her she has me pinned to the kitchen island, knife against my throat. I can't even move, I feel paralysed. "I WILL KILL YOU STEVE ROGERS" Y/n screams into my face.

I try to pry her hand away but she's as solid as rock. "Y/N GET OFF ME" I shout at her.

"NO YOU MUST DIE FOR LOKI TO CREATE A BETTER WORLD" Y/n shouts back at me. What is she doing? Why is she talking about Loki?!

From the corner of my eye I see Thor run into the kitchen. "What the- Y/N GET OFF STEVE" Thor must have pulled her off me but the sudden rush of air knocks me out.

Thor's POV

I grab Y/n off Steve and push her against the wall. "Y/n what are you doing?!" She tries to push me off her but I hold up her hands against the wall so she can't move.

"YOU ARE ALL GOING TO DIE" She screams in my face, tears running down her face. It's Loki that's in her head, it has to be. I don't know how but it is...

"Y/N LOOK AT ME! GET HIM OUT OF YOUR HEAD"

Y/n's POV

What the- why does Thor have me against the wall? "Thor? What are you doing" He has my arms against the wall, his shirtless body pushed against me. OH MY GOD WHAT

Thor releases me. "Y/n is that you?" I look at him and look at myself. Okay I still have my clothes on thank god! I look down and- Steve? Oh my god why do I have a knife in my hand?!

I can feel my breath quickening again. "T-Thor? Did I do this?"

Thor looks at Steve, then at me with a sad look. "You tried to kill Steve"

I what?!?
