Loki Laufeyson Fanfiction (Marvel)

Chapter 7

"You want to go to Washington?"

The declaration wasn't what any of them expected. Tony had gathered them all together because you sounded pretty serious. So as they all sat around the table, you clenched the strap of your duffle bag a bit tighter.

"I think the reason I can't fully use this is because of something that happened when I was a kid. My parents, they..they did something to me. They're the only ones who can help me. "

"Are you sure it's safe for you to travel on your own?" Wanda asks.

"She won't be going alone." Loki stands from his seat.

"Y-You're going to come with me?" You aren't the only one in the room who's surprised.

"Don't look so shocked. It's not like I've got much to do here."

"Brother." Thor warns.

"Calm down, I'm not going on another spree. (Y/N) and I are similar in a manner of speaking. In the event that she loses control again, having me around would be beneficial."

He isn't wrong.

"No way." Tony would never let Loki get that far out of his sight, especially being alone with you. To him you're still finding your way. It's too much of a risk. Putting someone else's life in Loki's hands, well, not the smartest play.

"I think we should give him a chance." Steve interrupts. "This is his shot to prove himself. If he's going to stay here we need to be able to trust him. That won't happen if we don't try." You can tell Tony is against the idea, but the looks of everyone around the table, he knows he doesn't have a choice.

"Fine, but if you so much as breathe funny it's goodbye horns."

"Thank you Tony!" you beam.

"Yeah yeah, just come back in one piece."

"I will!" Natasha and Wanda smile. "Let me give you a few things for your trip. Just in case Loki gets the wrong idea. " You follow with interest.

Thor is looking at Loki like a proud father.

Loki raises a brow. "Have you lost your sanity, why are you smiling at me like that?"

Thor doesn't say a word, just moves to pat his back. Leaving a very confused Loki.

~~~~~

Thank goodness for Tony being rich. After getting off the jet, you were being dropped off at a hotel he'd reserved. You couldn't stop smiling. It looked like an ordinary car but the seats felt like heaven. You leaned back with a sigh. This trip felt like a vacation.

"I could get used to this."

"Enjoying ourselves are we."

Dang it. You nearly forgot he was here too.

"Soooo Loki, what was the real reason for tagging along?" You know Loki, he'd never volunteer to do something like this unless there was something in it for him. "Is there some secret artifact you're trying to sniff out?"

"Have you really so little faith in me?"

You just send him a blank look.

"Fine, do you want the truth?"

"Mhmmm."

"I came because.. I was worried about you."

Sitting up, you aren't sure what to say to that.

If he was being completely honest, he'd seen and felt everything when he tapped into your memories. Usually he just uses that part of his abilities to manipulate, maybe even torture. But somehow he'd witnessed everything you did, felt every spark of emotion. It was paralyzing. And familiar.

"Thank you." It's a whisper, and he looks up. You're smiling at him.

"I guess you aren't a total asshole."

"It was such a great moment, why couldn't you just let me have it." You laugh, shaking your head.

"Where's the fun in that?" Your eyes move back to the window, enjoying the scenery. Loki watches you, his hand mere inches from your own. There's a longing to touch you, but he stops himself.

"All in due time."
