The Consultant (Loki x Male Reader)

part: 2

song: Lover is a Day - Cuco

2nd pov

after the ship landed back on the carrier, you didn't care about loki all that much.

you yawned and went to one of the vacant bedrooms and passed out on the bed.

it was still night when you woke up again, and you blinked to adjust your eyes to the dark. you yawned and stretched, and changed into different clothes.

a plain white t-shirt and grey sweatpants. it wasn't very professional, but then again, you aren't a professional. just a consultant.

fury knocked at your open door, and you turned to look him.

"i've got a job for you, consultant," he said.

"what is it?" you felt excited. it had been awhile since you've been assigned a job.

"babysit the prisoner." he walked out of the room.

"but why! he's in the monster box, he's not going anywhere!" you yelled out to fury.

"it can't be a box. it's round!" he yelled back.

you groaned loudly and slipped your shoes on, grabbing a book on your way out and walking to where loki was being held.

you passed some vending machines, and got a bag of chips and a soda for yourself.

you opened the bag on your way to loki, but hesitated to take a chip and eat it when you saw natasha in the room.

you slowly crept in, unnoticed by the both of them.

you saw loki smirk, and turn to natasha.

"there's not many people who can sneak up on me," he said. you smiled.

'i guess i'm one of them.' you thought

"but you figured i'd come," natasha replied.

"after. after whatever tortures fury can concoct." loki smiled. "you would appear as a friend. as a balm. and i would cooperate."

"i want to know what you've done to agent barton," natasha said. disregarding loki's statement.

"i would say i've expanded his mind," loki said.

you scrunched your nose and pursed your lips. 'how incredibly dumb.' you thought.

"and once you've won, once you're king of the mountain," natasha walked closer, "what happens to his mind?"

loki's smiled widened. "oh... is this love, agent romanoff?"

"love is for children, i owe him a debt," natasha said.

loki walked backwards. "tell me." he shrugged and sat down.

you sniffed your chips. eager to eat them. already bored of their conversation. basking in the scent of the cheesy goodness of your chips, you were in your own world until you heard loki hit the glass of his cell.

"i won't touch barton. not until i make him kill you," loki said. "slowly, intimately. in every way he knows you fear." natasha looked like she was about to cry.

"and then he'll wake just long enough to see his good work, and when he screams i'll split his skull," loki said.

wow. harsh.

natasha turned her back on him.

"this is my bargain, you mewling quim." loki glared at her.

she sniffled. "you're a monster."
