Black wings

Chapter 48

I DON'T OWN PICTURE

Ivy open her eyes when sun start to rise. "Time to go." She say and slide in water. Loki teleport on shore and help her up from pond. She smile, he pull her in his arms and in deep kiss. She kiss him back while summoning warm wind to dry them up. "You shouldn't use your magic like that before tomorrow." He scold her quietly against her lips. She pull back and smirk. "I am fully recovered. This is nothing." She answer smugly. He snort and peck her forehead. "Opinionated Fairy." "Overprotective God." She growl back playfully and nipple his chin quickly before slipping away. "Hey!" He complain. She laugh and throw her clothes on. He smile and follow her lead.

Ivy stare at pond and hug herself while waiting for Loki. "There is old legend about ponds in magic concentration spots." She suddenly say. He move to wrap arms around her from behind and pull her gently in his chest. "What kind of legend?" He ask softly and kiss side of her neck. "It is said that if fairy die in these spots, manage to get in water before last breath, she could be brought back to life. Legend says that no one know how long it would take; years, decades, centuries or will it even work." She explain and feel how he squeeze her little tighter against his chest. "Why you tell me this?" He ask warily. She lean head against his shoulder. "That has always brought me some comfort. I have fought all my life, it is nice to think that I might have chance even if I fail." She admit.

Loki turn Ivy around and grab her from shoulders. "You are not going to die tomorrow. I won't let that happen." He say sternly. She smile and take his hands in her owns. "It is battle, everything can happen. But I didn't tell this to you because I plan on giving up. Quite opposite. I never had better reason to fight and survive than now." She reassure and squeeze his hands. "I love you, I have no intentions to give up on our future without one hell of a fight." She finish and let go of his hands. She gently step front of him and cup his face between her hands. "We will survive." She promise and pull him in kiss. He grunt and wrap his arms around her while pulling her closer. She snake her arms around his neck. "Never leave me." He murmur in their kiss. "Not part of my plan." She assure.

Loki teleport himself and Ivy in her balcony. Ivy felt little sick after it. "I still prefer flying." She whine and shake her head. He laugh and kiss top of her head. "This is faster and I can make sure you are safe with me." He answer in her hair. She roll her eyes and smile. "Overprotective God." She tease him gently. "I will look after what is mine." He growl and nipple her neck. She chuckle and slip from his arms. "Come on, I am hungry and I want to get in hot spring." She laugh and rush out of room.

Others are already in dining table in breakfast when Ivy and Loki come in there too. Tony whistle and cheer. Natasha and Wanda glare at him. Ivy roll her eyes to him. "Morning." Others answer to her while she sit down next to Thor and Loki to her other side. "So, was Rock of Ages really that bad that you are already in bad mood?" Tony tease them. Loki glare at him but didn't answer. "Tony..." Steve warn him but he ignore him and turn to Ivy. "Are you serious Stark?" She sigh disappointed and turn to look at him. He wiggle his eyebrows with wide grin. "We didn't hear a thing so I am just curious." He answer innocently. She glance at Loki and see how he already plan to stab Tony.

"Well..." Ivy purr and lean toward Tony. "If you really insist Stark." She continue and take deep breath before satisfied smile come to her face. "After last night I don't doubt even for a second that Loki isn't a true God. He lasted for ours and what things that tongue can do. I have never-" "OKAY, OKAY. I don't want to hear more." He cut her off. She chuckle and wink an eye to him. "Mortals can't do even third of what he can." She purr lastly before pull back and turn to peck Loki's cheek. Steve and Wanda has blushed and others try to hide their smirks. Thor burst in laughter. "Way to go brother." He congratulate Loki. He scoff and ignore him. She smirk when light blush come to his cheeks too. 

Rest of breakfast went in peace. Natasha, Clint and Wanda cleaned after it. Others wanted to go explore the island. Ivy warn them to not go too far so they won't get lost. Others went out too after they were done so in castle only Ivy and Loki stay.

Ivy turn to look at Loki with enthusiastic smile on her face. "Time for hot spring." She command, take his hand and start to pull him downstairs. He follow her obediently. It didn't take long until voice of water come in their ears. She pull him past last corner and let go. "Welcome to my relaxing spot." She announce and turn to look at him. He stare at cave with big spring middle of it. Everything is lighted up by blue moss on walls. There is also fireflies in air. He turn to look at her in awe. "How you made this?" "I didn't, well not completely. This cave was here in begin with, with hot spring and that moss. I just modify this a little, then I make castle top of it." She explain. He shake his head. "This is incredible, I never have seen something like this." She smile proudly to his compliment. "Wait until you get in water." She tell him, throw her clothes on near bench next to towels and jump in water.

Ivy laugh when Loki grin mischievously to her and soon jump after her in water. She swim away from him but he teleport front of her and snatch her in his chest. "Caught you." He growl playfully in her ear. "You cheated." She laugh and relax in his arms. "I am God of Mischief, remember?" He laugh and peck her forehead. "You are more than that." She answer and peck corner of his mouth. He smile softly to her. "How I can ever deserve you?" He whisper. "Well..." She wrap her arms around his neck. "For a starter, you all ready deserve me. I love you for you." "Something I still can't believe." He admit with sad smile. "Luckily I have time to convince you about that." She answer and kiss him.  

That day went fast. After dinner everyone go in their rooms to get proper sleep. They are heading out by first light. Loki hold Ivy tightly in his arms in bed. She draw mindlessly patterns in his chest. She sense worry and fear radiating from him. "Everything will go well." She whisper in darkness. He sigh. "It is a battle, we can't be sure of that." He answer quietly. She peck his cheek. "I love you." "I love you too pet, and that scares me more than anything." She frown and stop her hand to lay it on his chest. "I don't know what I would do if something happen to you." He admit after awhile with thick voice. 

Ivy move to lay her head next to his on same pillow. "You will live, you move on." "No." He grunt angrily and squeeze her tighter. "You had to. You should continue to work with Avengers, redeem yourself and earn your place in Asgard back." "I don't give a damn about that!" He spat. She peck his temple gently. "But you want to see your mother again. You would find new path in your life." "I don't want new path." He argue and turn to look at her. She smile softly. "Then we both better survive." She answer and lean to give him loving kiss. For her surprise, he kiss her back almost desperately and turn top of her. "I refuse to lose you." He growl after pulling back. They stare at each others. "You won't." She promise and pull him back in heated kiss.
