My Trickster (Loki X Fem Reader)

Chapter 42 - Back in Asgard

"Five years ago, we lost. All of us. We lost friends... We lost family... We lost a part of ourselves. Today, we have a chance to take it all back. You know your teams, you know your missions. Get the stones, get them back. One round trip each. No mistakes. No do-overs. Most of us are going somewhere we know. But it doesn't mean we should know what to expect. Be careful. Look out for each other. This is the fight of our lives. And we're gonna win. Whatever it takes. Good luck."

I walk over and hug Steve and Nat. "Be careful." I press my forehead against hers.

"You too."

"All right. You heard the man. Stroke those keys, jolly green." Tony yells as I go back and stand with Thor.

"Tractors engaged."

Rocket looks at Clint, "You promise to bring that back in one piece, right?"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. I'll do my best."

"As promises go, that was pretty lame." Rocket sighs.

"See you in a minute." Nat smiles.

Suddenly we all shrink down, I close my eyes as we split off.

I smile as Thor, Rocket and I were on Asgard again.

My home.

"Hey...I'll be there in a minute." I nod at Thor.

"Y/N-"

"Just go." I nod.

Thor and Rocket run off, past Loki's cell. I walk up and let myself in, the barrier closing behind me.

"Hello, darling. I thought you weren't gonna come see me anymore." Loki looks up from his book.

"Loki..." I start to cry.

"Hey...what's going on?" He stands, wrapping me in his arms.
I cry into his chest and breath in his scent for the first time in years...I wanted to tell him about his son...about what happens but I couldn't. "Darling?"

"I just miss you. I can't give us up." I quickly say, sliding my hands up his arms. "I love you Loki....I love you so much."

"I love you too, darling....forever.." He leans down and kisses me. He pulls away and looks me over, "You look quite different today...your hair is longer." His hand slides over my collar bone and onto my cleavage that was sticking out of my armor. "These are bigger." He smirks.

"Oh you know...hormones." I awkwardly chuckle....he can't know we have a son. I repeat to myself in my head.

"Well I'm liking it." He pulls me in.

I hold my hands on the sides of his face and softly caress his cheek. I tilt my head and look him over. "Hey...take a picture with me." I pull out my phone.

"How do you have this Midgardian device?" He watches as I unlock my phone.

"I just do." I shrug. I link my arm around him and take a picture....he actually smiled. I take a couple more of us. "Thank you." I hug him. "I must go." I squeeze him tight, never wanting to let go of him.

"See you soon, darling." He kisses me.

I don't respond...instead I smile and kiss him, hurrying out his cell. Loki waves as I run up the stairs. Before meeting up with Thor, I step into Loki's chambers. Grabbing a few items like a couple of his night shirts and his famous horned helmet.

He wouldn't need it anyway.

I run down the hall and slide into a room, slamming the door shut. "Thor I'm ready to-" I stop as I see Frigga. "Oh...hi. I was just-"

"I know your from the future." She smiles.

"Oh thank god, I didn't know how to explain this." I sigh. She pulls me in and hugs me. "Smile." I take a photo of her.

"What was that?"

"Nothing." I hug her again. "I really missed you." I smile as she kisses my cheek.

"Thor! Y/N! I got it!" Rocket runs in and slams the door.

"Get that rabbit!" The guards outside yell.

"Frigga, We have to tell you something." I grab her hands.

"No, darling. You don't. You're here to repair your future, not mine."

"But this is about your future." Thor steps up.

"It's none of my business." She smiles.

"Hey. You must be Mom. I got the thing. Come on, we got to move." Rocket nods.

"I wish we had more time." Thor whispers

"No, this was a gift. And you're going to be the man you're meant to be." She smiles and hugs him.

"I love you, Mom."

"I love you. And eat a salad." She chuckles as she hugs me again.

"Come on. We gotta go." Rocket nods.

"Goodbye." She whispers, blowing us a kiss.

"Three... two..."

"No, wait!" Thor holds out his hand.

"Wh- what am I looking at?" Rocket asks.

"Oh, sometimes it takes a second." Frigga nods.

Thor summons Mjolnir. "I'm still worthy."

"Oh, boy." Rocket sighs.

"Goodbye, Mom."

Our quantum suits go in and we leave, I open my eyes to see the rest of the team.

"Did we get them all?" Bruce asks.

"You telling me this'll actually work?" Rhodey smiles.

We all look around, "Clint, where's Nat?" I ask. The silence from Clint tells us all..... The mission was completed but at a dire cost.
Bruce falls to his knees and pounds the floor in grief.

I stand outside with my hand over my mouth, trying to process this, "Do we know if she had family?" Tony asks.

"Yeah. Us." Steve nods.

"What?" I turn.

"I just asked him a question–"

"Yeah, you're acting like she's dead. Why are we acting like she's dead? We have the stones, right? As long as we have the stones, Steve, we can bring her back, isn't that right? So stop this shit. We're the Avengers, get it together." I growl with tears in my eyes.

"We can't get her back." Clint suddenly says.

"Wha– what?" Thor turns.

"It can't be undone. It can't."

Thor dryly laughs, "I'm sorry. No offense, but you're a very earthly being. Okay? We're talking about space magic. And can't seems very definitive don't you think?"

"Yeah, look, I know that I'm way outside my paygrade here. But she still isn't here, is she?"

Thor shakes his head, "No, that's my point–"

"It can't– be undone. Or that's at least what the red floating guy had to say." Maybe you wanna go talk to him, okay? GO GRAB YOUR HAMMER, AND YOU GO FLY AND TALK TO HIM!" Clint yells. Clint's anger is quickly replaced with grief as I hug him. "It was supposed to be me. She sacrificed her life for that goddamn stone. She bet her life on it." He holds me tight, crying into my shoulder.

In a burst of anger, Bruce grabs a bench and hurls it clear across the lake. His anger spent, he turns to us with a resigned look on his face. "She's not coming back. We have to make it worth it. We have to."

Steve stands and rubs my back, "We will."
