"Shang-Chi."

You look at the man's hand, with a raised eyebrow. You looked closer. You move a step closer and take a sniff.

You walk back a bit in shock.

Loki catches you, wrapping her fingers around your shoulders. "How do you know this man?" you nod, and look back to the confused Shang Chi who still had his hand out.

"Your.. Where's your mother?!" you ask, stepping closer frantically. Shang-Chi's eyes widen before closing again in pain. "She's- gone. When I was 10." you knock back into a table. Loki went to reach for you when a huge cloud of scarlet smoke appeared in between you and him. The room coughed, as a figure appeared. A giant cloud-winged tiger roared.

You.

When you were young you were told you were the tiger guardian. That you were chosen by the ancestors to be the next Tigeress to protect the secret village. You were treated differently, with either harsher tones or cruelly. When you found out your extent of growth age would be barely past 18 you ran away. You couldn't handle the responsibilities of the tiger. You left your best friend. Who was born after you, but you aged slower. She'd forget your Tiger.

When you left the village the familiarity and calmness were all gone. Most any strong emotion or feeling would release that form. Whether it had been a claw, ears, or a tail. But all at once you were the Tiger again. And you weren't there to protect your sister. She grew up without you. And now she died without you too. You hassled and turned, the room's valuables being knocked and shattered. XiaLing gasps, "The Great Tiger.." "What did you DO TO HER?!" Loki yells, forming a blade and going at the siblings. "Nothing! Back up or I'll make you." Loki ignores the threat and fires up his magic. You roar again, loud enough to break all the Windows in the building. Sorcerers rush in, along with Wong. "What's going on?!"

"What did you tell her?!" Wong asks, "How does she know our mom?!" Wong sighs and queue's the others. Loki looks away from the siblings and to you. Who was calming down. "Y/n?" he asks softly. Your ears lower, before your instincts rush in again and you roar. The sanctum shakes, while most cover their ears. "She's going to bury this place! Someone calm her down- she's not in control!"

Loki walks up to you to touch, only to be stopped by a light, a rainbow light.

The next few moments you were both in Hiemdall's chamber. "She can't hear you Loki," he spoke, sheathing his sword. You toss again, "Y/N!" Loki yells again, ignoring the statement. Your slotted eyes round up once again. "I stand corrected." he walks towards you with a slight hesitation. "This is new." you cower a bit, before leaning towards him. He reaches out his hand, where you put your snout to it. He smiles.

"What was that Heimdall?" Loki smirks. You whimper. "What's wrong?" Loki put his other hand around your ears. "She can't return back to her human form." Loki glares at Heimdall. "Always the riddles with you! TELL ME NOW!" He glares back before speaking up. "I say this for Thor, not for you. Keep that clear. Any strong emotion releases the Tigeress. If she cannot calm.. Well." Loki frowns. "I'm assuming she didn't tell you then?" Loki growls and turns.

"ENOUGH!" Heimdall smiles and turns around to his post. "I will ask my mother of this- and she can help!" Loki assures you, petting your snout. You give sympathetic eyes before raising your wings. "Giving those a try are we?" you lower one. Loki climbs on hesitantly before you fly to one of the kingdom's balcony platforms. Loki climbs off you, "GUARDS! BRING ME, MY MOTHER! NOW!"

You inch him toward the center before leaning into him again. You spring away immediately after, hearing him call your name.

💫

You lay curled up behind a waterfall.

4 weeks.

You knew he was looking for you. The stomping of the guards. Your hearing was Impeccable like this. In a puff of smoke, you were laying against the cold rough cave floor. A tail and a pair of ears were the best you could get to your normal self. But this was a stretch. You let your normal tears fall and leak into the cracks of the rocks. You pushed yourself up into a sitting position. When you felt a ping.

"Tell me where you are. Now."

You turn in a frantic, to see Loki.

Fully armored, besides his helmet. You cough before your throat lets you speak. "It's not safe yet.. I can't- I can't keep it under control right now..!" you explain. He clenched his fists, watching you cough.

"You're just letting yourself rot alone! I'm King now, and I DEMAND you tell me where you are!"

You look up. "What happened? Wait.. How long was I gone?" you begin to breathe heavily again, and in another smoke storm, you were full Tiger. Loki's mind connect with you broke, again. As he called your name.

💫

You slam your arm against the rough cave wall again. It poofs back to normal before going back to Tiger. You groan, laying back. Your Tiger ears twitch, some of the cave comes tumbling down. You sigh and contemplate. More rocks fall, you turn into the Tiger in panic. Jumping through the waterfall covering the now rock cave you crash land in your half-human form. You grip your head and lay on the grass.

"You're- what happened to you?"

You poof your claws back to your hands hearing his voice. "Look I- just need to fix this a bit longer. It just- won't go away right now," you say, Loki's illusioned form stomps towards you.

"You don't need to fix anything. I'm king now. When I find you-"

You shake your head, your pupils begin to slit. "you don't know what the Tiger can do.. When I was 7 I had a tantrum and almost took out the entire village!" you say, your hands poofed back to claws in distress. You sigh, as your eyes return back to normal.

"Sounds like something I'd do."

You watch Loki smile.

"Darling, I do not care how dangerous you claim you are."

Your claws turn normal with a sigh.

"Did you ever consider that I could have a liking for pets?"

You blush and your claws return. "I can't tell if your trying to help me or not." he laughs.

"God of mischief."

You smile weakly.

"See you soon, My Tiger."

Your head turns the moment you hear the clouds shift. In a rainbow light Loki, who was leading what looked like the whole guard behind him. You flinch and turn back into the Tiger. "Sorry Darling, but you are coming back with me to the Castle," Loki says, adjusting his scepter in his hands. You flare your wings, but Loki approached you. Your slitted pupils turned round. You wanted to tell him to run for the hills and stay with you. You were taught what you were was dangerous. And now, he's throwing all of that out of the window.

It made you feel...

Confused.

He lifts his hand up to you. You push him away with your snout as you let him pet you. He furrowed his eyebrows, not liking your response.

"In our weeks apart- I did look into you."

Loki begins.

"The great protector Tiger! And a Tiger always loves..." he trails, his hand sliding to your mane. "A good scratch." he pets you gently, gliding his hands through your fur. You felt your body vibrate, and enjoy it. His cold hand's evened your body temperature. You tilt your head towards him in absolute pleasure. Purring and rubbing your head against him. He laughs and hugs your bigger form with a smile. "I know she was dear to you. Come home with me, Darling. Tiger or not." you feel the puff of smoke arises again. And you in his arms, with a content smile.

Your clothes were a bit ripped from changing forms a lot. Another puff of smoke and your ears were back. "Close enough." Loki sighed, holding you closer. Your purr was still consistent. "That's new though." you jump, and push him away. He pulls you closer, "Get over here!" Loki pulls you into him, before using one cold hand to cup your face and kiss you, the other around your waist.

You kiss back, tugging the garments on his chest. You both pull apart moments later. You laugh awkwardly as your tail re-appeared, wagging. He flicks his fingers, making a silk blanket appear. Loki wraps it around you lovingly before waving his hand. All the guards present had no weapons, all illusions. You smile, your heart swelling from his trust and consideration.

"Heimdall! Take us home!"
