Mystical Magic (Loki x Reader)

Chapter 23 - Theres always hope

When you reached the ground floor you remembered that you took a left then two rights to get to where you are now so you had to take two lefts then a right to get outside.

Once you were outside and finished with the guard you left him on the floor and ran for your life. Not ten paces out the door and alarms had started blaring all through the grounds.

You didn't stop to take in the sights, you just ran as you heard running behind you. You reached the fence and just as you were about to blast a hole through it you heard a shot and then your whole body was on fire and you were convulsing, having been hit with an electric filled bullet square in the back. Well, I tried.

You were swarmed by at least two dozen guards and the magic dampening cuffs were placed back on your wrists when the electricity had run its course and your body had stopped involuntarily twitching.

You were barely conscious, phasing in and out. You saw you were being dragged back to the building then blanked out for a minute. Then you were in a big room where you were hoisted up by your hands above you and you were just about to stand on your tiptoes and then you blanked out. You fully woke up again when room had filled with people and someone shouted "Be quiet!" Really loud near you.

You looked around the room to see the walls lined with armed guards and about 15 other people scattered in the middle who didn't look to be in much better condition than you imagined you looked.

"Let this be a lesson to all'' The man said, making his way behind you, "if you're thinking about making a break for it!" And then you hear a whip lash and a burning hot sensation of pain on your right shoulder blade. You muffle a scream trying not to show weakness. "This is what will happen to you" as he made his way in front of you "if you try" and he spun towards you and whipped the left side of your chest and you felt the bandages tear and saw some fall.

You were too busy being in pain to really take note of the bandages falling. "Just have a better plan than me if you do" you coughed out with a laugh which got you another whip lashed on your back closer to the middle and lower down. "You're a right bastard, you know that?"

This really pissed the guy off and he reached around you and grabbed your throat and pulled your head close to his. You could hear him breathing in your ear. "You know, we can be really nice to you here" and he snaked his other hand, still holding the whip, down your side, brushing the side of your now mostly exposed breast as he passed it and it stopped just above where your suit started on your hips. "Really nice to you" and he played with the edge of your suit and licked the side of your face making you feel sick to your stomach

"I wouldn't let a cockroach of a slimeball like you anywhere near me" you snarled out to him and snapped your teach near his face.

He threw you away from him and slapped you around the face with the hand that was holding the edge of the whip, feeling your skin tear as the hilt got dragged across your left cheek. You swung a bit as you couldn't get a grip on the floor with your toes and then came another lashing on your stomach, then on your side as you were twirling around. By now you were crying out in pain as he delivered another three lashings before storming off out of the room.

All the guards pushed and shoved the other onlookers out until you were left alone, hanging from the ceiling, blood dripping down and off your body.

Shortly after everyone had left, someone else entered the room which made you flinch. You tried to see who it was but you weren't facing the right way and it was too much effort for your exhausted body to try and spin round.

"Oh god, Y/N!" You heard Buckys voice gasp and he ran over to you, unhooking your wrists and you fell into his arms

You were only half conscious when he picked you up in his arms and held you close to him, rocking you, cooing comforting sounds as you sobbed your heart out while he carried you out the room. You felt like you had lost all hope and let yourself drift off into unconsciousness

***

You woke up in a white room and for a second you thought you were back at the infirmary at the tower and hope bubbled inside you, but then you realised where you were.

You groaned and turned your head to the side and saw Bucky sat next to you

"We've got to stop meeting like this" you chuckled

"Yeh, it's not good for your health" he agreed but smiled back at you. "There wasn't enough thread to sew all of the lashes up so I've done as many as I could and started with the deepest ones. There's still one or two that are open"

"You're full of surprises aren't you?" You chuckled and sat up off the table you had been laying on. You didn't want to look at the damage that had been done but most of your stomach and chest had been bandaged up again anyway.

"We can stay here for a while longer if you want, i doubt they'll be coming for you for more experiments just yet" Bucky offered you a little bit of salvation in this new dark world you had been thrown into and it was nice

"Yeh, I guess I could get a bit more rest while I can," you said and lay back down on the table. You only just now realised how cold you were and how cold the table was and your body involuntarily shivered.

"Come over here" Bucky said. You gave him a confused look but went over to him nonetheless. He pulled you down onto his lap and he cradled you, putting his arms over yours trying to warm you up. "No one will hurt you while I'm here. Get some sleep" he said, but you were already half asleep and on your way to being fully asleep already.
