Fear & Desire - Legacies (book 2)

Groundwork

Entering the main briefing room, you were met with the Avengers, save Bucky, along with Stephen who had just entered via orange circle glowy thing that Seven loved.

"What is she doing here?" Stephen asked pointing at Seven who was sitting in Loki's lap drawing on the table.

"Well incase you forgot, I had to completely uproot my life from London and I haven't actually sorted out childcare yet considering Seven can turn blue and there's a maniac, Loki cover her ears love, trying to kill us" you whisper shouted earning a small nod and tight lipped smile from Stephen.

"She can turn blue? Like Loki?" Thor asked intrigued.

"We don't simply just turn blue brother, it's our Jotun form, there's more to it than that" Loki explained watching Seven draw.

"My blue babies" you smiled looking at them both.

"I was already telling y/n that—" Fury began.
"Arrrrrghhh"

"Seven! Sorry N-Fury, carry on"

"I was telling y/n that there is an—"

"Arrrrrr—-"

"I'm going to take Seven out whilst you explain" you said standing up and heading towards Seven and Loki "come on Sev, let's get you some fruit" you smiled holding her hand as you both walked out.

"Ice cream" she whispered when you got to the door.

"Absolutely, I'm not Cinderella's step mum, I'm just trying to look good in front of them" you whispered back.

As you both walked into the kitchen, you immediately wanted to turn around when you saw Bucky but Seven shouting "iceeee creammm" was what alerted him of your presence. You hadn't spoken since the interrogation and although the air was clearer, you still weren't really on the best of terms. You agreed that you'd be civil, with you both living in the same building, as long as you didn't have to see him all the time. The building was supposed to be big enough for the both of you. You headed towards the freezer where Bucky was standing near making himself something. When he saw you approaching it, he put his hand up to stop you.

"I'll get it" he insisted.

"You don't even know what I—"

"Cookies and cream" he smiled opening the freezer and taking out the ice cream "your favourite, I assume it's hers too considering a new one has to be bought like every day" he chuckled handing it to you.

"Thank you" you said turning around and getting a bowl and spoon.

"Shiny" Seven remarked pointing at Bucky's arm.

"Do you want to touch it?" He asked lowering himself to Sevens level and showing her his left arm.

"GET AWAY FROM HER" you shouted pulling Seven behind you as you glared at Bucky who stood back up.

"I'm sorry, I'd never—" he began.

"I don't care what you have to say" you noted cutting him off.

"You forgave Loki y/n, please have it in your heart to one day forgive me" he pleaded.

"Fuck you" you scoffed.

"Mummy said a swear" Seven remarked.

"Yes mummy said a swear, mummy swears a lot, come on Sev" you said holding Sevens hand and walking out of the kitchen with the ice cream and spoon in the other.

"Mummy's crying"

"Mummy doesn't need a narrator and I'm not crying."

"You forgot a bowl" You heard Bucky call after you as you and Seven made a beeline back to the briefing room. Before walking in, you gave yourself a few seconds to get composed. Smiling, you opened the door.

"What did I miss?"

"Fury wants you undercover" Tony answered.

"I said it's ridiculous let alone dangerous." Loki affirmed walking towards you and taking the ice cream and Seven.

"It'll be fine, you'll be with me" you smiled at Loki.

"Unfortunately not, you'll be with me" Stephen interrupted.

"Loki along with the Avengers are too well known, the only people who haven't really been in the public eye are you y/n and Strange. You'll both be going undercover together." Fury ordered.

"And what happens if I am recognised? What if the thing that's after me knows my face and is present?" You asked furrowing your brows.

"Don't worry, I'll protect you." Stephen ensured.
