A threatening, violent explosion shaken the entire compound, like an atomic blast, resulting in the devastation of the entire wing of the building, which collapsed under the pressure of the subsequent implosion.
The interiors were completely gutted; all windows, doors, sashes, and frames ripped out; the entire building suffered mass distortion and all panels and roofs were blown in. The whole laboratory was literally blown to the winds, the chitauri scheleton fallen on the ground and smashed in thin debris. Outside, flashes ignition of dry, combustible materials lightened up the dark of the night, while a thick, dark snake of smoke rose high in the sky.
When the clear light in the middle of that blast started to slowly fade away, the devastation around the epicentre was unbelievable.
The unfathomable wellspring of energy that had enwrapped your body from toe to head had made you lose grip on reality, as you anger had driven you crazy. The sudden, unexpectedly vastness of the magic that had surged from your self had overwhelmed your senses in such a way, that when you lightly landed on the ground, you feet lifting up a wisp of dust, you had to blink hard to take in that it was really you in the middle of the surrounding desolation.
Your long, silky, radiant silver hairs floated lightly around your shoulders and waist, and your jade green eyes waved of a vein of pure gold as your energy slowly started to turn off from your body.

"SH*T!!!" Clint voice broke on the radio "That was a massive explosion"
"Language!" Steve reprimanded him immediately, riding his motorcycle over a small hill, and taking down a couple of soldiers with his shield as he landed on the ground. "Tony, what's the view from upstairs?" Jarvis voice updated the entire team "The central building of the compound is imploded for half of its extent. Miss Y/N is right in the epicentre."
"I got view on the prize, folks. She is just turning back into her Cinderella form." Tony added, flying over the site, giving covering fire.
"Is no one going to comment that the Cap just said 'language'?" Tony amused tone went on the radio again. "I know! It just slipped out." Steve frowned at the teasing, speeding up his motorcycle.
"Clint's hit pretty bad, guys. We're gonna need evac." Natasha concerned voice broke the general excitement few moment later. "Nat, we need you here for the lullaby!" Steve remembered her, as the Hulk approached to crash onto a little defensive blockhouse, taking angrily the full blunt of the machinegun in his chest, before starting to smash the small building with his enormous fists.
"I can get Barton to the jet. Loki, see if you can reach her faster than us." Thor's booming voice supplied, as one of his deafening thunder stroke made the ground shake, throwing into the air a dozen of armed soldiers.
"I'm getting there" Loki got rid of two jeeps which were approaching at full speed, blowing them up with a single bolt of magic.
A fraction of second later, you felt a couple of strong arms appearing out of thin air and wrapping tightly around your body. You let yourself fall in them: you could have recognised Loki's cold touch or his winter scent anywhere.

"Jeez, Reindeer Games, I would be very careful to not upset your girlfriend whatsoever if I would be in you... look at this mess!"
"If ever Lady Y/N will be ever able to breath again..." Thor let out a genuine laugh, landing lightly nearby, his red cape floating light on his back.
The corners your lips risen and so did Loki's ones, even if they remained well sticked to yours. You had thrust yourself to him and jumped up to wrap you legs around his waist, so he was now fully standing and happily gripping your lower back to steady you closely to him, kissing you heatedly.
"Nat, we could really do with a lullaby for the Big Green now" Steve called her, looking worried at the Hulk, who was still playfully smashing things around.
"Are you okey?" Loki asked, surveying you head-to-toe after he let you down and hauled you back to your shaking legs. "Yes, just... I feel very tired" you wheeze out, feeling the adrenaline flushing away from your body and being replaced by a very dizzingly weakness. You were covered in dust, and got a couple of grazes along your forearms, but in sum, you were pretty much fine.
"Hem, Y/N, why... why your hairs and eyes are like that?" Steve cautionary called you attention back. You looked at him questioningly, but reached out a lock of your hair and pulled them up to check: they were still a very radiant shade of silver. "I... honestly, I don't know." You told him plainly, blanching, and staring confused at Loki, the wave of gold still twirling in your iris.
"That's an extreme makeover, Y/N" Natasha teased you, as she gathered back in the meadow half-carrying a quite pale Bruce. "Happy to see you again Y/N" he leaned forward to hug you, patting his hand on your back.

It had gone all well, the HYDRA was defeated, the laboratory destroyed and you were all safe and sound.
"Is... is this mess my fault?" You asked, looking around at the site of the explosion, while you were all walking away from the site.
"You really lost your sh*t!" Natasha grinned, and linked an arm with your free one, as the other was locked in Loki's one. "Oh for gosh's sake, watch your language!" Tony was leading the way and turned back to cast a grin at Steve, who over-dramatically rolled his eyes. A chorus of laugh rose from the entire team.
"TONY!!!"
You had been the first one who saw the soldier dragging nearby and peeking from a pile of rubble, targeting his rifle and firing off a single shot. Disentangling from both Loki's and Nat's arms, you rushed forward and pushed Tony out of the way before he was hit, as the soldier was taken down immediately by Steve's round shield and a full load of bullets from Natasha.
You didn't felt any sort of pain. It had been just when you met Loki's horrified gaze, that you followed his glance and saw the blood spilling from your side. That's were the bullet hit.
Loki caught you before you hit the ground, cradling you to him, screaming in anger.
Tony groaned, slowly dragging himself on his feet again from few feet away, looking shocked; Natasha rushed over to Bruce, who's face was lighting up of a nasty green shade, while the rest of the team run over to help you. Thor forced Loki to lower you gently to the ground and the both of them kneeled at your side. Thor clutched Loki tightly with his arms, securing his painful madness in a confined space.
Steve pressed both his hands on the wound, in the attempt to stop the bleeding. You were already feeling the warm and wet of your own blood spreading on your side and behind your back, down to your thigh. "It's just a graze, Y/N, don't worry" Steve said towering from above, reassuringly.
You reached for Loki's arm, your teeth clenched as you fought back the pain. He saw the glazed look in your eyes, the strange whirlwind of clear lights shining underneath the skin of your neck and forearms, the blood on his hands and understood. "She is not healing. There's something going on with her powers..."
"Let's take her home, medical assistance is on Jet's board, they can have a look at her during the flight" Steve supplied pragmatically.
Loki swept you effortless up into his arms. You wrapped an arm around his neck and laid your head on his shoulder, the dizziness overcoming your senses. Before passing out, you felt him murmuring something under his breath.
"You will be fine, Y/N, I promise. And Gods be my witnesses: I'd choose to be damned for eternity rather than loose you again."
[Whoa! Y/N's appearance changed dramatically after her outburst of angry: will she make it through this? Hope you enjoyed and you will leave a star!]
