Captured

chapter twelve

***

Steps became closer and you saw on Loki's face that he wasn't expecting them. Loki walked towards the sound, but soon he came back and opened the shield. He took the chains off of the wall and started to drag you away from your room.
"What are you doing?!" you asked, raising your voice.
"Shut up, and be quiet!" he grumbled at you and dragged you away. You had no idea where he was going and what had made him that scared.

You got to the other side of the corridor and just right when he was dragging you into the stairs you turned around to see what you were running from.

It was Thor.

You saw Thor!

"Thor!" you yelled, trying to get his attention. But Loki didn't like at all that you didn't obey him. He pulled you against the wall and shut your mouth with the metallic thing again, which had been covering your mouth when you first got here.
"Shut up!" he growled at you quietly again. You tried to fight it, but he was too strong.
Loki gave a look at Thor's direction and then he walked up the stairs, dragging you after him.

Looked like Thor didn't hear you.

Fuck.

You were never gonna get out of here.

Loki dragged you somewhere far away from the palace. It was exhausting to walk with those heavy chains, but you didn't have a choice anyway.
You didn't know exactly where you were, but you knew that you were still in Asgard. Obviously, you couldn't leave Asgard by foot.
After a while of walking, you found yourself in front of some big doors.
How such a place like this, have those kind of doors. You were on the mountains, and now you where looking at the doors which led you inside the mountain.

What the hell was this?

Well, you were in Asgard, so you thought that this was just another normal thing in here.

Loki opened the door and stepped in, dragging you behind him. The place was big, like a huge hall. He closed the doors and threw the chains at the ground. He came closer and took off the thing that covered your mouth.
"You had one job! And you decided to risk it all by trying to do something I clearly told you not to!" Loki growled at you, he was angry.
"What else did you expect me to do?! I'm tired of being your stupid, whining, midgardian prisoner!" you yelled at him back, using the names he had called you before.
"To do what I say!" he yelled you back and pushed you against the wall and slammed his hand on the wall, right next to your head.
"Why don't you just kill me then?! Wouldn't it be easier?!" you growled, you really were too tired and frustrated to be scared of him. You wanted out of here, you wanted to fight him.
"Because I don't want to!" he growled back.
And then you stopped, went speechless. His face was inches away from yours and you kept staring straight into his eyes.

He looked tired and exhausted, like you. He was... he was....

hurting.

Loki stepped aside quickly and let you go. He lifted the chains from the floor and tied them around the pillar.
You didn't say anything and he didn't either. You were quite shocked about his words.

He didn't want to kill you? Why? Why not? Or was this just part of his sick plan? Is he trying to mix your feelings? You had no idea.

*

You had been sitting on the floor, for a hour now from your arrival.

"Leave me alone!" Loki yelled suddenly. You looked shocked at him, but realized soon that he wasn't yelling at you. He was sitting on the floor as well, zoned out again. And just out of nowhere, he came back to this world and immediately stood up.
"Don't try anything while I'm gone! Understand?!" he grumbled at you, glaring angrily into your eyes as he spoke. He was all sweaty again.
You glared back and then turned your eyes on the ground. You didn't want to speak to him.

Loki sighed heavily as he walked away, of course after he had checked your chains first. Just in case that you couldn't escape.

***

Second week from Y/N disappearance, had came to its end. Tony was in his lab, trying to do something that could help to find her.
Tony had tried everything, but he couldn't find her. She was like, vanished.
Vanished from the world.

Pepper walked in and looked worried at his husband.
"Tony, please. You have been working since the day she disappeared, every day and night. You need to rest." she tried to convince him, but it didn't help.
"No, there's gotta be something." he replied and walked back and forth, trying to find something from his computers.
"Tony hey, listen to me." Pepper said and grabbed his hand, making him face her and stopping his doings. Pepper sighed heavily and took Tony's both hands into hers.
"Y/N has been missing for two weeks now, it's a long time to be gone. And we can't find her anywhere, not even SHIELD. And you know that they have the best tech in this world, if we don't include you of course.
And... there might be a chance that she... she is.." Pepper struggled with her words as a teardrop fell down on her cheek. Tony shook his head as he dried her tears.
"No, no she's not." he said confidently.
"Tony, I don't think there's any other option left anymore." Pepper said while she tightened her grip around Tony.
"She's not dead!" Tony yelled.

Pepper flinched, Tony didn't usually yell at her. But then Tony realized quickly what he did and he looked down at the floor.
"Sorry... I just... I need to get back to work." he said softly and turned back on his works. Pepper's eyes were in tears as she walked away. She really wanted to believe that Y/N wasn't dead, but it seemed like it was the last option left right now.

She walked in the kitchen, were Morgan was eating with Steve.
Steve was Morgan's godfather, and he loved to take care of her meanwhile her parents had been working to find her sister, Y/N.
"Mom?" Morgan said as Pepper walked over her and kissed her forehead.
"Yes?" she replied.
"Why are you crying?" Morgan asked, sounding innocent. Pepper smiled at her and leaned down to hug her.
"You don't have to worry about it, everything is going to be alright." she replied and looked at Steve with concerning look on her face.

"Is Y/N coming home? I miss her." Morgan said and hugged her mother even tighter.
"She will come, soon." Pepper replied and ran her fingers through Morgan's hair.

"But now little lady, you need to go to bed and not worry about your sister.
I need to talk to Steve first and then I'll come to you, okay?" Pepper ordered and Morgan nodded. She thanked Steve for the food and then ran to her room.

"Something is wrong, isn't it?" Steve asked as he put the plates to the dishwasher.
"I think that... Tony isn't feeling well. He hadn't eaten anything today and he hadn't slept well for two weeks now. I'm worried about him, but he isn't listening. I even told him that there might be chance that Y/N is.... is..." Pepper tried to finish her sentence but it was too hard to her to even imagine it.
Steve placed his hand on Pepper's and smiled gently.
"I know... but there's still hope. Two weeks is long time, but Y/N is strong. One of the strongest in this team, trust me, she can take care if herself.
And Tony, I can try to talk to him." Steve comforted Pepper. Steve actually wasn't sure was Y/N still alive and he doubted it a bit. But he wasn't going to show it to Pepper.
"Thank you, Steve..." Pepper replied softly and little hint of smile showed on her lips.
