Black wings

Chapter 26

I DON'T OWN PICTURE

Ivy slowly stir awake and feel weight over her. She open eyes and look down. She chuckle quietly to sight front of her. She is on back while Loki has put his head on her chest, hug her and their legs are tangled together. She is happy to see his face so relaxed and peacefully. She start to slowly brush her fingers through his hair. He stir a little to that but didn't wake up. She start to plan what she has to do today, how she should handle Ricci's family. 

Ivy's thoughts get interrupted when someone bang the door. Loki wake up on that with groan and snuggle closer to her. She chuckle. "Come on sleepyheads, we should head back to compound soon." Clint yell and bang the door again. "We are awake, give us couple minute and send Natasha, I need her." She yell back to him. "Okay." Clint answer suspicious but went away. Finally Loki seem to realize where he is and quickly roll away from her. "Good morning." She chuckle to him. "Morning." He mumble and rush to bathroom. She smile and shake her head. "Sleepyhead." She murmur and slide out of bed too. She just get to tie her dagger on left tight when Natasha knock on door. 

Ivy rush to door and open it. "You need me?" Natasha ask confuse. Ivy nod. "Do you still have some dresses in here?" Natasha's eyebrows raise but she nod. "Good, can you bring me some green dress that I can use in negotiations?" "Are you really going to meet Luca Ricci?" Ivy nod. Natasha sigh. "Fine, I look something for you." She agree and turn around. Ivy smile and close the door. She turn around same time as Loki come from bathroom. He refuse to look at her. She roll her eyes before going to bathroom herself. She quickly did her business and notice other dagger on counter. She frown and take it and dress from counter with her in bedroom. 

"You almost forgot something." Ivy say loudly. Loki turn to look at her confused and she throw the dagger to him. He instinctively catch it. "You might want to carry it with you today." She smirk mischievously. "And why is that?" He ask warily. "Because you are coming with me to meet some mobs." She answer cheerfully. He raise his eyebrow to her. "Like they let me out of their sight." He scoff. "I can be very persuasive if I need to." She answer sweetly with innocent smile. He snort and roll his eyes. She let out a laugh when someone knock on door again. She smile and rush to open it. Natasha hold out beautiful but simple enough green dress. "Your heels from yesterday will be okay with this. You better hurry, Steve was suspicious when I carried this dress." "Thanks Natasha, we will be there soon." Ivy answer, take the dress, give her her other dress and close the door.

Ivy look at the dress and is pleased when skirt has slit on it. "This is good." She announce and rush to bathroom to chance. She throw Loki's shirt in laundry basket same as his boxers. She sigh and put on her own panties before putting the dress. She straighten the skirt, make sure that pendant is in right place and walk back to bedroom. Meanwhile Loki has changed in suit. She smile when she notice that. "You look perfect for my plan." She praise aloud. He turn to look at her. She smile and sit down on bed to put on her heels. She quickly put them on and stand back up. "We should hurry, they are getting nervous." She say and look at him. "You should do something to your hair before that." He point out with little smirk. She frown and feel her hair.

Ivy's face drop. "It look like bird nest." She groan and try to tame it. Loki let out a laugh. "Let me." He offer and wave toward couch. She sigh in defeat and move to flop on couch. For her surprise he start to brush her hair with real brush. She turn to look at him. "Where did you get that?" "This thing can't suppress all my magic." He answer and smirk mischievously. She laugh and turn back. It didn't take long for him to tame her hair. He make it flow in beautiful waves. She quickly look at her from mirror she made from water and smile. "You are miracle worker. Thank you." She praise him and give him quick hug before ushering him out of room. 

"Keep your dagger out of sight until I say otherwise, okay?" Ivy instruct Loki on their way. He nod, but didn't answer. She sense how he pull his mask back on which he drop last night. She didn't like it but understand why he do that. "What are you planning Ivy?" Steve ask immediately when they walk in lounge room. She sigh tiredly. "Exactly what I told you last night. I am going to negotiate with Ricci's family so we don't have war in our hands." She explain like to child. "You're not and why is Loki wearing suit?" "He will come with me, as my bodyguard." She answer and step so she is slightly between Loki and rest of the team.

Everyone stare at Ivy like she has lost her mind. "You what? Reindeer Games going with you?" Tony blurt out after awhile. She sigh. "Yes, Loki is coming with me. He is only one I can take, and I believe that you would not let me go without backup." She explain. "You won't go, lastly with him." Bucky argue and take step toward her. She glare at everyone. "You wanted to use me, now I am offering you a way out without innocents getting involved." She snap and turn to stare at Steve darkly. "You might think that you know what war is but you have never fight against mafia, mafia who has declared war against you. Trust me, you don't want to see it. We can get out of this without bloodshed and get some information we need." "What information?" He ask warily. "Some organization that you need to be aware. I will tell everything after we come back from meeting. It is connected on my absence last week." She explain.

Steve and Ivy stare at each others for a moment until he sigh in defeat. "I'm still not going to let Loki come with you." He argue. She roll her eyes. "I can't get inside if I have Avenger with me, Natasha and Wanda aren't cut for the job neither is Clint, Bruce or Sam, sorry boys. Vision? I won't even go there. Stark can't hold his horses in negotiations and would offend them. Thor would hit them way before we can get even started to talk about real business. Bucky is overprotective and can't hold back when needed. And you Steve, you can't come in same table as them without showing your disgust." She tell while pointing her finger toward each of them. "Loki is only one cut for the job." She announce lastly. 

"I can act as your bodyguard, I have had many undercover operations." Bucky argue. Ivy sigh and turn to look at him. "Can you stay in place if someone is holding gun at me or lets say a dagger on my throat?" She ask and raise her eyebrow. "Yes, of c-" He stop talking when Loki suddenly pull her in his chest and hold a dagger in her throat. Others yell and jump in their feet. Bucky is already leaped on attack. Ivy push everyone back with her air magic and Loki step back. "See? You can't." She say proud of Loki's act, he has done exactly what she wanted. "How in hell Rock of Ages has knife?!" Tony ask angrily and summon his suit. "Dagger, because I gave him one." Ivy scoff and roll eyes. "What!" Others yell, expect Thor he smile gleefully behind others. "He need it. Now, when this is settled we will get going, we come in compound after that." Ivy announce and walk in elevator, Loki behind her. "Ivy! Don't let him escape!" Steve yell after them. She scoff and cross arms. "Like I stop you if you want to get away from them." She murmur after doors closed.
