C4-The test

Chapter 4: The test
*3rd Person’s POV*
(Tuesday)
To say Loki was nervous, was an understatement. He was terrified and anxious. He kept pacing around the room, playing with his hands, eyebrows knitted together, as he waited for his turn. The dominants, and Natasha, were sitting on the couch outside the testing room (they used an empty office in the Shield compound for the testing). Tony was smushed between Clint and Steve, who were holding each of his hands, and reassuring that everything was going to be fine. Bruce was currently in the testing room, and Loki was next. The god’s heart was pounding, his breathing slowly turning ragged. 

Suddenly, the raven-haired god felt a pair of strong arms embrace him from behind. 
Thor wrapped his hands around Loki’s waist, placing his chin onto Loki’s head. Curse Thor for his height. Loki sighed a little in relief, and relaxed slightly into his elder brother’s touches. “Loki Laufeyson?” the tester came back out, a black clipboard in hand, while Bruce walked out, slightly tense and anxious. But, once the doctor sat back down, he immediately calmed down, as Clint massaged his head. 

“Actually, its Loki Odinson,” the dark haired god corrected, earning a smile from Thor. The god of thunder always wanted Loki to be his brother, his true brother. So hearing him say that he was an Odinson truly delighted him. 

“Right, could you come this way please?” the tester smiled and opened the door wider for Loki to enter. With one last squeeze, Thor let go of his younger brlother’s waist and the god of mischief entered the room. 

*Loki’s POV* 

I tensed up immediately the moment I stepped into the room. “Come, sit down,” the tester motioned to a grey armchair beside the long office table. Sitting down, I played with my hands and looked at him nervously. “Alright, I’m Dr. Davis Johnson, and I’m a good friend of Clint. I’m a neutral, and today, I’ll be conducting your classification test, alright?” Dr Davis introduced, his tone soft and gentle. Smiling a little, I nod, and the test began. 

After about 15 minutes of questions, he finally put down his clipboard and smiled. Then, he pulled out a booklet of paper and a pen and told me to answer all the questions in it. I did, but I had to ponder about some of them. Like, “If you were asked to give up control of your life for a day, would you do it?” I wanted to put no, but after thinking about it, I put yes. If I really trusted that person, I would let him or her control my life. I wouldn’t have to worry much about anything, since that person would look after me. But this did mean that I would have to trust him or her fully, and would have to give consent to whatever they wanted to do. This did scare me a bit, but I realised that this was all about trust, and if that person broke my trust, I would be able to stop the whole relationship. 

Soon. after another 30 minutes of answering the booklet’s questions, Dr Davis nodded, typed something into his laptop and led me out of the room. I heaved a sigh of relief and immediately ran into my brother’s arms. He chuckled and hugged me, praising me that I was brave. I smiled and leaned into his touch.

After everyone went through the test, Dr Davis finalised the results and printed them out, before sliding each of the results into a brown envelope and handed all 7 of them to Clint, before saying goodbye and left. “Okay, how about we start with Loki?” Clint suggested and Loki opened his envelope. With shaky hands, the god pulled out his results, and sighed. Submissive. Everyone cheered and whooped, and the god could feel a slight blush coming onto his cheeks. 

Next was Thor. As expected, he was a dominant. Steve and Clint as well. Tony and Bruce were both submissives too, but Natasha was the real shocker. She was a dominant too. 

“How? I thought you were a neutral!” Clint asked, and the red-haired assassin shrugged. 

“Yeah, I was a neutral, I still have my results with me. I guess I just changed, you know, from all the missions and stuff,” she replied, shrugging. 

“Okay, I guess its settled then. Now, we have to punish Tony,” Clint continued, as Tony gulped, looking away. The dominants, including Natasha, pulled away, discussing what would be an appropriate punishment for Tony, who had NEVER received a punishment before. The submissives were reassuring the mechanic, who was quite anxious. Tony sucked in a deep breath, as he kept chanting, “Please go easy on me,”over and over agin, under his breath. 

After awhile, the dominants all decided on a punishment and went back to the submissives. “Tony, since this is your first punishment, we’ll go easy. You’re not allowed into your lab for 2 days, starting from tomorrow, since today is coming to an end,” Steve announced and Tony’s jaw dropped. No way. 

“What? But I was working on something! A-And I can’t just-“ Tony started, immediately protesting at the given punishment. 

“Anthony,” Steve cut him off. The mechanic froze at his full name. Steve gave him a pointed look and he just looked away, and didn’t say anymore. “You’re allowed in the lab if there is a mission, or if there’s an emergency, but other than that, you’re not allowed in until Friday morning,” At this, Tony nodded sulkily. 

“Right, it’s almost dinner now. I’ll cook and then you guys can do rules with Tony, Bruce and Loki?” Steve continued. Everyone agreed and they all left the Shield compound.
