Loki's forbidden love

Actions over consequence

I hadn't been in or out of Asgard in months. I've only left once in the past three years but that doesn't necessarily mean that my relationship with Heimdall was not to my advantage. I stepped into the room and looked him in the eyes "Heimdall, I need you to help me and you *cant* tell Thor"

He looked at me with a concerned look on his face. " Leia , why are you keeping things from Thor all of a sudden. It is my duty to tell him when I think things aren't right..... you know that" I was fidgeting with the hem of my skirt, something I did around Loki when I was trying to get him to cooperate.

"Look I know it sounds bad- sketchy almost, but I need you to trust me. People lives are at risk." He let go of the sword and walked towards me. He wasn't a very tall man so he only slightly hovered over me. " and what makes you think Thor isn't the perfect candidate for this job your depending on so much? He's a god. He's the most powerful person in Asgard. Why not involve him?"

He was good at this. Convincing people to go against their own bad decisions and beliefs. It was his job. But I won't let him do it to me, I was going to tell him: " it's because it's about his brother. And if I die saving everyone then I die. But if Thor goes and he kills Loki , or if Loki succeeded, he would never forgive himself and he's been through enough." I looked him in the eyes this time, reading that he was nearly persuaded, "so please, let me through and don't tell Thor why"

He did exactly that. And I was eternally grateful.

I set out on my journey to find Loki. I didn't know where exactly on earth he was, but I figured if I went to the avengers then they might be able to help. They always seem to be in an eternal war with Loki over some stone. I had taken some money from my old fund account back in Asgard. It was a small amount over there but to the humans I was rich. I used the money to buy expensive outfits and gear ready to fight Loki. And hopefully impress the avengers enough to make them want to help me.

I was wearing a black skater dress, casual but formal. I wanted to wear the one Loki gave me. I would but I'm saving it for when I find him. My hair was wavy and pinned back out of my face. I was wearing stylish heels but they're comfortable enough to run in, just in case. I made my way to central New York, good thing that stark guy was so rich, the avengers tower was hard to miss.

God I was so nervous. I've never been this nervous before. My hands were sweating , my heart drumming audibly. I mean you don't just turn up at the avengers tower and be like "oh hi yeh help please" god this was embarrassing. 'Why am I here!?' I thought to myself but before I could turn and run, a beautiful man came to the door.

I stared in shock. Wow. He was gorgeous. Why had I never heard of him before , then I saw it . His metal arm. Oh it was the winter soldier. He stood there in the door way smirking at me , I had gone a shade of pink and was shuffling on my feet. "Um hi..." I needed to pull myself together. "I'm sorry do I know you?" OH WOW. His voice . God someone call the police , he's too good.

Ah ok focus. Be confident.... "no I'm sorry," don't apologise now " I'm Leia. I'm friends with Thor ... you might know him. But I'm here because a lot of people are in danger and I need your help to track someone" he lingered for a second and then turned around and left . Was I meant to follow him? Before I could make up my mind, the winter soldier bought someone back with him.

"Hi I'm Steve Rogers" oh no. Why can't they send someone really old or gross looking? I can't stand here and look at these two, not without staring at them both like a moron. "Would you like to come in? We can see what we can help with" I nodded my head and they both stepped back, leaving a space between them for me to walk.

We walked in a line in silence all the way to the middle floor , where the rest of the avengers were.

I looked around and saw Bruce banner, Natasha Romanoff, Wanda maximoff, Tony stark and the two boys either side of me. I was unbelievably nervous.
