Heart Attack

Chapter 1

If there was something I hated more than anything else in the entire universe, it would be not being able to see colors. Not that I'd know what color was what, but I'm sure I could work it out. Being colorblind really sucked. I sighed, and my friend gave me a questioning look.

"Let's face it, Thor. I'm never going to find my soulmate." I said, and he chuckled just shaking his head. I hated his optimism sometimes, but other times I found it oddly endearing. Right now was not one of those times.

"You will, Phoenix, I know it. You just need to have some faith, that's all." Thor said as we followed Valkyrie down a hallway. I sighed. I wished I had that blind optimism sometimes. It would make life a tad bit easier. Regardless, I wasn't sure I ever would find my soulmate, which sucked but I wouldn't complain either. My parents were soulmates, and, well... ones dead, the other is in jail. But I would like to at least see in color to know what the world truly looks like. Thor must have seen the look on my face because he chuckled quietly.

"Trust me. You'll find him, Nyx. We're here." Thor said as we approached a door and stopped. Valkyrie turned to us, her face asking if we were ready. I had to tell you... I wasn't sure I wanted to know what was on the other side of that door judging by the sudden tension of Valkyrie, Thor, and Bruce Banner.

"Why are we here, exactly?" I asked, trying to stall going into that room for a bit longer. Thor looked towards the door, a conflicting range of emotions passing through his eyes. The biggest emotions were sadness, and relief. Huh. I wonder what was making him feel all that... Obviously something, or someone, important to him.

"We're getting my brother." Thor said, causing me to blink. Wait, what? Since, uh, when did Thor have a brother!? My mind was reeling from this information, and the only words that could come out of my mouth were,

"You have a brother?" Real genius conversation, Nyx, I thought angrily to myself at my lack of ability to apparently communicate. Thor just nodded, before turning his gaze to focus on me. I saw a moment of seriousness, and he motioned towards the door behind him.

"He's quite wicked and mischievous so do be careful, Nyx." Thor said, and I nodded slowly. I wasn't sure I liked the sound of him, but I also was intrigued. Thor was the complete opposite of that. I wonder what his brother was truly like. Something told me I was going to find out, and in a very interesting way. The door opened, and when we looked inside, there was a man sitting chained to a chair, looking out the window.

"Brother." Thor said, causing him to slowly turn his gaze towards us. He was breathtaking, and I would be lying if I said his appearance did nothing for me. But I was more curious to know what his personality was like.

"What do you..." he began to say, but when he met my eyes, everything seemed to move in slow motion as suddenly the room was engulfed in colors. Oh, my god... Thor's brother was my soulmate?! Well, I guess I was okay with that. It'll depend on his personality in all honesty, but my god, he's hot.

"Why hello there." He said, and I blinked taking in this mans appearance. Thor was right. He is wicked. Wickedly hot. God. Suddenly, I got an intense urge to just kiss him. I stood there, conflicted. This was my best friends' brother, and apparently an extremely wicked and mischievous god, but that made me more attracted to him. Ah to hell with it. Before I could change my mind, as I knew I would, I strode over to him, took his face in my hands, taken aback by the softness of his skin, before lowering my lips to his and kissing him. I wasn't quite sure what I was expecting, but his lips were softer and more gentle than I thought they would be. Though I had no doubt he had some rough and rough moments too. Honestly, I kind of wanted to see that side of him too.

"Nyx, what... What's going on!?" I heard Thor say, his voice raising. Ignoring him, I pulled away from the brother, and just stood there, looking at him. I was truly breathless at the appearance of this man, and how he stared at me through his piercing green eyes that studied every detail of my face. God he really was the most beautiful man I had ever seen.

"Whatever the color of this room is, it might very well be my favorite color now." I said, knowing the others would hear me as I found myself stroking his cheek. It could very well be the soulmate bond, or it could be my genuine attraction to this man, but I couldn't bring myself to look away from him.

"She sees color now? Meaning... oh god no." I heard Bruce say, and I smiled subtly. His reactions to everything never failed to amuse me. I saw a playful look in the brothers' eyes, and I couldn't help the small smile that began spreading across my face as I only imagined whatever he could possibly have in mind.

"You've got to be kidding me... My brother, Loki, really?" I heard Thor basically whine, and I chuckled turning to look at him while I kept my hands on his brothers' face. His brothers' name is Loki, which kind of really suits him, if I'm being honest. Not only did it suit him, it was kind of hot. Huh.

"Jealousy doesn't look good on you, Thor." I retorted, and Loki chuckled quietly under his breath. Thor just sighed, before turning his attention to Valkyrie. Bruce stood near us, looking at Loki wearily, and I could tell there was some background there.

"Last I saw you, you were killing people. Where you at these days?" Bruce asked, and I raised an eyebrow looking at Loki who held a subtle smirk as he turned his gaze to Bruce. He leaned forwards ever so slightly, and I got the impression that Loki was goading Bruce on. Which I was completely okay with.

"It varies from moment to moment." Loki replied, and Bruce's face made me chuckle quietly. He looked both scared and panicked, and it was really fucking amusing. He quickly rushed over to Thor and Valkyrie, and three of them began talking about god knows what. So I leaned forward to whisper in Loki's ear, knowing exactly what I was doing. Which was odd because I wasn't usually like this with guys I just met. I think I'm acting like this because he's my soulmate, and in a weird way, I feel like I've known him forever.

"Too bad you were in chains, though I quite like the look if I'm being honest." I whispered, before pulling away and watching his eyes light aflame with desire and need. I couldn't help the smirk that spread across my face, and something told me that he would be like playing with fire. It was a good thing I liked fire. I looked forward to this, for sure.

"Don't tempt me love." He said, and without warning, I sat on his lap, wrapping my arms around his shoulders. His eyes were breathtaking.... I could get lost in them, and I would never utter a single complaint if I did. He raised an eyebrow, but otherwise said nothing to my suddenly sitting on his lap. If anything, I was sure he was enjoying it more than he hated it.

"What if I want to tempt you?" I asked cheekily, and he chuckled, his voice going slightly hoarse from his desire for me. I had to say it was kind of a turn on. He looked me over, his eyes slowly taking in every detail, and my smirk widened as I raised an eyebrow. He was certainly enjoying the view, that's for sure. I could feel that much. I slowly slid off his lap, intentionally making it as sexual as I could before standing up.

"Careful lover boy. Your lust is showing." I said with a wink, and then turned to face Thor and the others, just to learn they were thinking of an escape route. Good. I hated this planet. Although it did get slightly better meeting Loki, however. But I still wanted off this planet, no matter what it took. Except for losing Loki, that is. I kind of wanted him to stick around for awhile.
