Somewhere Along the Way... (Loki x Reader)

Just Do It...

I woke earlier than I anticipated the next morning after a very unsuccessful nights sleep. I lay there for a little bit, my head was pounding but I felt this uncontrollable need to let some steam off.

It had been like this all week even after training with Nat or Steve, the urge was there and it was getting worse, but I hadn't told anyone about it. I just thought it was pent up frustration starting to take over my body.

I headed to the training room with a bottle of water, wearing a sports bra and shorts Nat had given me, well should I say thrown at me!

I wanted to object to the outfit choice, but thought better not to when I got the door slammed in my face.

Seems everyone had quite the hangover.

When I got there it was empty. Thank god. With that I connected my phone up to the speaker and started warming up.

I wanted to fight but no one else was awake yet, so it would just have to be with the punch bag for now. I had put on some of my favourite Rock music when about forty five minutes in, Dragula, by Rob Zombie started playing and I felt myself get into a rhythm with the punchbag. Zoning the world out.

I concentrated on my punches. On my breathing. My rhythm. The power. My precision, I hit the same spot harder and harder, my full focus was on causing as much damage to the punchbag as I possibly could.

Oblivious to the fact that Steve and Bucky had joined me, a blind rage had taken over. One of my hands had started to bleed but I couldn't stop, my breathing was erratic now, the sweat was running down the side of my face, my body pooled in it.

Steve was shouting trying to get my attention with no luck, he gave up and shouted to Jarvis to send Tony or Thor to help immediately to the training room. Hopefully someone else could snap me from this trance.

Bucky's hand touched my shoulder and out of instinct I swung around colliding my fist with his jaw and sending him flying across the room a good 7 feet away from me. I heard my hand crunch and I snapped it back in pain, shaking like a leaf in horror at what I had done.

As I looked up, I noticed Tony, Thor and Loki were staring at me their chests heaving where they had got here as fast as they could.

Concern was written all over their faces, I looked down at my hands shaking uncontrollably then noticed the blood. I looked back at the punchbag that I had caused a rather deep indent in. Then back to Bucky lying across the room holding his jaw looking at me in disbelief.

What just happened?! Why...How did I do that?!

"Bucky...I'm...I don't...I didn't mean to you just startled me..." I had taken a few steps towards him but then stopped myself.

"Brother. I think it's time..." Thor looked at Loki who slowly nodded understanding what Thor meant, his mind was open and I heard it clear as daylight - Her power is going to consume her if we don't release it.

My powers had done this? Why? How?
Loki took a few steps towards me holding a hand out towards me. Shakily I took it.

"Come with me." He said and I followed him into the middle of the room, standing facing him. He looked at the others. "Leave. Now."

When they were gone he took my hands in his, "This may hurt, but only for a little while. I promise I'm just trying to help."

I nodded, "Why are my powers becoming so strong now Loki? You know what never mind, just do it."

"Well I would suspect the fact you have been to Asgard and Mother cleared the block on your memories has allowed them to surface. Not to mention you have been in contact with God's of Asgard for some time now. It may have had an impact on them too."
