Fear & Desire - Legacies (book 2)

Revelations

The next morning you woke up feeling well rested after your titillating night with Loki. You had both showered before deciding it was probably best if all three of you slept in your bed as opposed to Loki sleeping in the pile of rubbish that was his old room. You turned your head to face Loki and Seven who were still both fast asleep. Seven was in a starfish shape between you both with one had clutched tightly around some of Loki's hair. You knew it was going to be painful for him whenever Seven decided to switch positions, dragging Loki's hair with her. Trying to be as quiet as you could, you pulled the covers back and stepped out of the bed to go towards the bathroom to brush your teeth and wash your face before dealing with today.

You flung on a hoodie and some tracksuit bottoms and made your way to the kitchen. As you walked in, you immediately turned back around seeing Steve.

"Y/N"

"Please Steve save it. I don't want to argue with you." You exhaled.

"Please understand that—"

"Steve, you've chosen your side, I have to stay with mine." You nodded walking out of the kitchen.

Going back into your bedroom, you saw that Seven and Loki were up. Loki was currently holding Seven in the air whilst she pretended she was flying. Your heart melted at the sight.

"Morning my loves." You smiled walking into the room and kissing Loki on the cheek as he lowered Seven down into your arms.

"I fly" Seven giggled.

"Yes you do." You beamed as you tickled her making her squirm in your grip.

You heard uneven footsteps approaching the room and looked towards the open door to see Thor trying to knock on a door that wasn't there with a hand covering his eyes.

"You can come in Thor" you laughed as he sighed in relief, lowered his hand and walking into the room heading towards you holding Seven.

"Would you like breakfast small princess?" He asked as her hand found his hair.

"Yes." She replied.

"Sev, yes what." You added.

"Pleaseeeee."

"Well done." You smiled as Thor took her out of your hands and headed towards the kitchen.

"Hello sexy" you winked as you turned towards Loki.

"She ripped like a whole chunk of my hair out this morning y/n. She's a cute little devil that one. Definitely mine." He said pulling you into a kiss.

"Time to face the music." You said pulling away.

You and Loki made your way to the briefing room. Tony along with Natasha and Bruce were already in there. There was no sign of Steve, or Bucky for that matter.

"So y/n, tell us what happened in London" Bruce asked as you and Loki approached some chairs.

"There was some sort of alien, I hadn't seen anything like it before. It had smashed up a car and was scaring people away. I heard the commotion and ran outside towards it where I saw it's main desire illuminating from all of its fears. It wanted to kill me and Loki." You explained as you and Loki sat down.

Tony was about to open his mouth to say something but an orange circle appeared in the corner of the room grabbing everyone's attention. You gasped when Stephen Strange walked out of it.

"Wow" you mumbled.

"Y/n, long time no see, you've grown." Stephen said smiling at you as the portal behind him closed.

"That's what humans do doctor." You smiled.

"Please, call me Stephen." He insisted putting a hand to his chest.

"But I much prefer doctor." You winked.

You felt Loki stiffen next to you as he grabbed your hand under the table and glared at Stephen causing his attention to go from you to the indignant god next to you.

"Loki." Stephen said with a nod.

"Strange." Loki snarled.

"Stark, Banner, Romanoff" Stephen listed giving a nod to each of them who returned the gesture "I've got some news."

"Wait first of all I want to know what that thing was that attacked me and my family in London." You interrupted.

"How is Seven?" Stephen asked catching you off guard.

"H-how do you know about Seven?" You questioned.

"The attack in London isn't our main focus. The thing that attacked you was something called a deviant and the thing that saved you was something called an Eternal. The deviants are their fight, it was just lucky that the eternals were in the right place at the right time." He replied ignoring your question.

"What do you mean isn't our main focus. Aliens fall from the sky, I'm pretty sure that becomes our problem." Tony argued walking in front of Stephen. Pushing past him, Stephen started walking towards you.

"6 years ago, Loki was brought to death by a blade wielded by James Barnes—"

"Thanks for the reminder" you scoffed.

"Did you ever question how a human was able to extinguish a god so easily?" He questioned leaning slightly down to you.

"What are you saying?" You asked furrowing your brows as Stephen looked at you before standing back up to his full height abruptly and turned around resuming his pacing.

"I'm saying that the weapon wasn't your ordinary weapon."

"What does that mean?" You asked turning towards Loki who's head was in his hand.

"He's saying that it was a dark object y/n." He said solemnly.

"Loki, I don't understand."

"Centuries ago, war waged and dark objects were forged in Nidavellir on the king of Asgard's orders incase a treaty couldn't be reached with Jotunheim. The plan was to have objects powerful enough to kill them with a single impale. The question is, how did Barnes get into possession of one and who else knows of my true heritage?"

"That's my exact question." Stephen expressed pausing his pacing and putting a finger in the air.

"So you're telling me that 6 years ago, I was attacked by a dark object?" You gulped.

"Y/n, I'm telling you that 6 years ago, someone knew you were pregnant and they knew your child would be of human and Jotun before you did. When they gave James the orders to kill you, they were also after your child" Stephen explained turning towards you as you gasped and covered your mouth with one hand and placed the other over your heart.

"We will find out who this person is and I shall bring them to their knees with my wrath." Loki grimaced.

"Stephen, are we safe here?" You questioned lowly afraid of the answer. Stephen looked around the group quickly before his eyes settled on yours.

"Y/n, no where is safe."

Those words made your heart skip a beat as you took a sharp inhale.

"So this is war." You stated calmly.

"I'm afraid you are under attack and have been for a while.

"Has anyone spoken to Bucky?" You asked the group.

"Yes, he doesn't remember anything." Natasha replied.

"Well how fucking convenient. Well I'm sure I'll be able to get some answers out of him." You guaranteed, cracking your knuckles.

"Language" you heard from the door.

Turning around to face it, you saw Steve walking inside.

"If this is war, we'll make damn sure we win it" he said with confidence.
