Out of Time (Loki x Reader)

Chapter 7: Control

   

      Everything seemed to have been going great in the tower, nothing much to keep noted except for a loud argument that seemed to have broken out between Thor and Tony, not really sure why, but I walked to the door just enough to be able to hear what was happening through the door.

    "Are you loosing your MIND? He can not stay here! You know what he did the last time he-"

"Tony i understand, but I will not have him go back to Asgard! He will be executed the minute he's out there! You and I both know full well, that under these circumstances, you need us and-"

    "I do not 'need' a mass murder living in my HOME! Not again Thor. It's out of the question!"

They seemed angry...fuming. I opened the door right as they began to cut the other off once again. Though I thought this conversation was between just the two of them, Loki had been in the corner. Sitting quite uncomfortably. Trying his best to not be noticed. I walked in and the three of them stared at me.

   "Y/N now is not really the best time okay kid, I'll come down and talk to you soon." Tony said in a more gentle and hushed tone.

   "What's going on? Whose leaving?" I asked looking confused as to why someone would be leaving.

"Kid, nows really not the best time, can Thor and I have the room, please?" Tony tried to usher me out of the room but I wanted to stay. I began to grow doubts about me staying here, if they truly wanted me here.

"It's me isn't it...I can't stay? It's okay, it's not like I'm not used to it, I'll just go and pack my-" I croaked before being able to finish.

"No! No of course not kid! We all want you here it's just- I...-" he sighed and then continued, "Thor, I have a family here. I can't risk that!" He sounded worried.

"And I have family here too. I won't risk him going back and being murdered. Please Tony, you have to understand!" Thor seemed to be pleading Tony for something.

It was Loki, Tony wanted Loki out...but why? What had he done? Loki shifted again, getting up and fixing his suit. He cleared his throat and looked a little hurt.

"Tony, please give me a second chance?" He said with a hun of mischief behind his words.

     "I did Reindeer Games. And then you killed innocent people." Tony stopped and stepped forward to Loki.

"Do you remember that? Do you remember how you brutally murdered all those people, acting like it didn't even phase you? Well I do, and I'm all of my honesty, I don't want my family, my team to be put in any more danger due to a 'faulty fuse'." Tony said coldly. Making his voice louder and louder the angrier he got.

      Loki seemed to have seemed to notice his comment, having guilt, and hurt spread through him, but before anything a flicker of anger appeared. He didn't have a chance to say anything when I noted in.

     "Now- Tony, that's not fair! That's uncalled for. I should know more than anyone what it feels like to be given up on, and that's just not fair!" I yelled. Seeing the surprise of my attack on all of their faces.

I was angry. And they knew.

     My arms began to be consumed in flames once again. My body being surrounded my my blue mist, which had a sense of protecting me of whatever came my way.
But this time I wasn't sad.

I was angry.

     When my arms started burn I could feel the urgency to let my magic out, to let my emotions run wild. The feeling of my magic being right beneath the surface, like a bull ready to charge at the red cape.

Everyone seemed to notice, and quickly tried to suppress the situation.

Breath. Don't cause a scene. Keep it at bay.

     I noticed Loki looking at me, almost scared of what I might do next, I started to focus, and then the feelings subsided. My arms becoming nothing more than normal.

The rest of the Avengers had scrambled into the room, but Tony raised a hand, making sure no one moved. I looked at Loki making sure he's seen what I had done, this was the fastest I've been able to keep my magic under wraps.

I was ecstatic.

He looked so proud and slowly clapped for you.

    "Thank you, thank you." I said curtsying and smiling.

Everyone around us looked extremely confused before Thor spoke up.

     "Loki has been teaching Lady Y/N how to control her magic. Another reason Loki should stay! She's unstable without his help!" Thor was right. I couldn't do it without him.

The others protested and were yelling at what was going on, others confused as to what was even unfolding. Including Bucky, Clint, and Steve who had only came in chasing Natasha because she had taken their snacks away.

Tony was looking at you, looking for you to help him in his tight position.

      "He's right Tony, I wouldn't be able to keep my magic safe without Lokis help. And he's very careful when teaching me. Although I don't know what happened, and why so many people had been put in a dangerous position, he has yet to put me in that position since we have met. He's safe Tony. I promise." I protested making it clear that he was no threat. Tony sighed. Clutching the skin between his brows and closing his eyes.

    "And if he is not, I will take him back to Asgard myself and let my Father take care of him." Thor said glaring at Loki, and then was given a smirk in return from the raven haired man.

"Fine. He can stay. Only and only if he doesn't get seen here. No One can know you're back on Earth. And Reindeer Games?" Tony said glaring at Loki.

"No funny business. Or it's back to 'Daddy Dearest' on Asgard." He continued. Loki shifted slightly, announcing his uncomfortableness.

Sharing a look in your direction.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

I said side-eyeing him a smile.
