The Babysitting Job- Loki x Reader story

Chapter 9

Loki's POV of the chase scene:

The vodka soaks my suit and anger begins to build inside of me. She has never used those powers on me before. I run up the stairs and she gives me this cocky grin that gives me an odd feeling in my chest. She turns and begins to run away.

Two can play at that game.

I run after her into the dark night. Her silk dress is flying around her in the wind and she lost her shoes.
"You'll pay for that!" I yell
This isn't the first time I've chased her like this. In fact, it seems like I'm always chasing after her.

She reaches the cliff and began looking off of it. Shit. She turns back to me. Her cheeks are flushed and her hair is blown into a mess. I look over the water and then realize. God she's so dramatic.

"Oh don't you dare." I say. She won't do it right? It would kill her and she smart enough to not take it this far. Actually, she's a bit ignorant. I panic and run after her.

She winks and blows a kiss before falling backwards into the water. I have to admit, that is admirable of her but I am also frustrated. At her, at myself for what I am about to do.

"Fuck I cannot believe I'm doing this." I say to myself. I quickly take off my dress jacket and dive in after her. She's unconscious in the water and I rush to pull her up.

Once I pull her to shore, I cough up water and breath deeply. My throat burns, but I have to make sure she's okay. I move over to her and check her pulse.

"You're a fucking idiot. You could've died." She is coughing a lot. Her hair is soaking wet and her dress is drenched. I sigh and look out onto the ocean. Why did I save her? I despise her. So why did I feel like I had to jump in after her to make sure she didn't die?

"Are you okay?" I ask. Suddenly, everyone is running toward us and she passes out. I stand up quickly and run after Steve who had picked her up and is carrying her back to the house.

Thor comes up to me.
"Are you alright brother?" He asks and puts a hand on my shoulder. I shake him off.
"I'm fine. Where are they taking her?" I ask. Thor gives me a strange look.
"I don't know. Depending on how bad it is, she might have to stay here so Tony can take care of her." I hurriedly run up to Steve and Tony and tell them what happened. Was this my fault? Did I force her off the ledge?

We make it to the house and they lay her down in a spare bedroom. Natasha and Wanda close the door to change her into different clothes. Bruce goes in and examines her. He comes out later and says that she doesnt need to go to the hospital, but she should stay here for the night.

Wanda, Tony, and Bruce decide to stay there. I don't offer to stay because everyone else is shuffling out. So I have to go with Thor back to his tiny apartment. I don't know why I wanted to stay. I don't know why I jumped in after her in the first place and I don't know why I felt the way I did when I saw her walking down the staircase. I wrestle with those feelings the entire night, not getting a minute of sleep.
