Mystical Magic (Loki x Reader)

Chapter 19 - Detrimental deceit

"Alright team! Listen up. We have intel of a large weapons shipment from unfriendlies' being moved from a storage unit. We're going to intercept it and retrieve them" Tony explained the mission once you were all settled in an on your way

"Any idea who they are?" You asked out of curiosity, wondering who in their right mind would be up to no good knowing the Avengers were out there, not too far behind. But you supposed criminals would be criminals. 

"Fury didn't see the need to give me that detail. And don't forget, you're back up. Don't go running out there guns blazing" Tony told you sternly

You saluted him and in your best soldier voice said "Yes, sir!" Then you turned to where Steve was sitting and grinned, "Think I'd be good in the army?"

"Oh I don't think the army could handle you" He chuckled to himself.

"Right folks, thanks for flying with The Sorceress' airlines, we have reached our destination" Nat announced about 20 minutes later which you laughed at as she landed the jet and you all filtered out, you at the end much to your annoyance

You moved silently over to the storage units and Steve went to scout out the area ahead

"We're clear guys, move to the next one" he quietly informed us over the comms

"Did Fury not think to tell us what unit they were stored in either?" You snorted

"Shh, we're trying to sneak up on them!" Steve scolded you and you zipped your lips shut, not that anyone could see you

You searched 5 units before Steve spotted movement by the 6th one.

"Alright, Nat, Thor and Banner with me, the rest go around the other side. Y/N you stay back and watch us behind" Steve instructed and you all moved into your positions.

You couldn't see anything from where you were but you were looking and listening out for any stragglers.

"They've got the desk clerk at gunpoint, try and avoid casualties" Tonys voice came over the comms

You moved around to try and see where they were holding the desk clerk and spotted them about 20 feet away from where the team were getting ready to take down the criminals. You could now see Tonys team getting ready to go in

"Go! Go! Go!" Steve called over the comms and that's when the gun shots went off and the fight began.

You threw shields over the team when they needed them and threw some of the gunmen back with your magic where you could, all the while you kept an eye on the desk clerk. To your horror while the team were fighting they shot the desk clerk in the stomach and threw him to the ground. His screams were almost unbearable

"Guys, they shot the desk clerk! I'm going in to get him out of there!" You shouted over the comms

"Alright, be careful!" Nat shouted as you ran over to the clerk and dragged him behind one of the units out of sight

"Hold on! I'm here to help!" You tried to smile to comfort him and you started healing him.

Once he was out of the woods, but passed out, you let the team know he was alright but you needed a minute. You hadn't used all of your magic yet but you definitely felt it and needed a minute to catch your breath as you sat by the man.

"She's down, take her!" Out of nowhere the clerk was holding a radio to his face and calling through it.

"What?-" You barely got the word out of your mouth before your vision was blanked out by something being shoved over your head. You lashed out with your magic and managed to knock whoever had grabbed you off you but you felt your magic straining now. You wouldn't be able to keep that up. "Guys! H-" you went to shout for help but something hit you hard over the back of your head and you were rendered unconscious instantly

***

Your head was killing you when you finally came back around and you curled up into a ball from the pain. That's when you noticed your hands were secured behind your back and you still couldn't see. You still had that bag over your head and you were lay on your side in a moving vehicle you guessed was a van from the hard, flat surface you were lying on.

You realised you must not have been out for that long because next to none of your magic felt replenished.

"Excuse me, but this is no way to treat a lady!" You called out to any asshole that was listening. You didn't get a reply so you tried again. "Hey assholes! I hope you're not taking me for ransom! Stark might have a lot of money but he loves it too much to part with it!"

"Be quiet!" You were harshly instructed by a male voice from what you guessed was the front of the van, which just made you smirk.

"Oh, hello! I'm Y/N, what's your name?" You called out trying not to laugh.

"I said be quiet!" The man snapped back at you

"But it's so boring back here!" You whined, feeling for whatever it was that was restraining your hands. Huh, they'd used some form of tech cuffs and zip ties for good measure, smart people. 

"If you don't shut up i'm going to knock you out again" You could tell he was starting to get pissed off now

"Alright alright, but can you tell me how long we're gonna be? I'm starting to cramp up"

The van came to an abrupt stop and you flew forwards into the wall of the cab. Owch

You heard the doors of the van open and felt the back end lower as someone got in the back with you and drag you to sitting up

"Oh hi!" You started to say but you were hit over the head again and knocked out

***

When you came around for the second time you noticed that the van wasn't moving as fast as it had been when you'd woken up the first time. And your head now hurt in two places. Did they not have something not as violent to knock you out?

The van soon came to a halt and you heard both of the doors open and both men got out and moved around to the back of the van

When the back doors opened again you managed to sit up. "So, are we here?" You asked, mustering up as much bravado you could.

"Do you ever shut up?" A different male voice asked, who you guessed was the driver

"Not really, talking passes the time" you shrugged nonchalantly. 

The two men came in and dragged you out of the van and started walking you forwards.
