The Impossible Mortal - A Marvel FanFic

In the Eyes of a God

Author's Note: Welllllll seems I have fallen into the same habit when uploading this story lol. Just as often as I do the others! It's already written in great length on TikTok, and I'm already predicting that it'll be longer than the other 3 stories I've written. Please continue to comment on your favorite parts! I love reading them :) Happy Summer!

"Oh dear. Someone is in the wrong place," you hear the man's same voice now closer behind you.

You gain as much composure as you can and turn around, "Yes. Yes you are."

The grin only grows on the man, "Feisty. I do like feisty."

"Yea, well, it runs in the family," you shrug, in an attempt to calm yourself down. 

He takes a few steps to you, "Is that so?"

You begin to take matching steps backwards towards the elevator. You've always been hard to intimidate, but this guy's posture and strut is something else. "Now if you'll excuse me, I must be goi..." you turn, but your arm gets grabbed and you're pushed against a wall.

The man holds the same scepter in one hand, and your throat in his other, "I do not recall dismissing you."

"Well, I do have more claim over this building than you, so your permission is not needed," you manage to say.

"YOU WILL DO AS YOU ARE TOLD!" He growls as his hand gets tighter. 

When you look into his eyes, you see blue, but it's swirling around, almost like a lava lamp.

Then suddenly, you're standing in a dark room. You can still feel a hand around your neck, but now the man is tied to a wall. There is a larger, purple creature standing a few feet from him, with what looks like a flogger in its hand. The man pulls on the chains, clothes torn, and body full of scrapes, blood, and bruises. 

Just when the flogger raises again, you close your eyes. When you open them again, you're back in the tower, still held against the wall by the elevator. 

"What did you just do, mortal?!" the man seethes.

His grip has slightly loosened, and you can now see the regular blue/green color of his eyes, "You were just...? What HAPPENED to you?"

That's confirmation for him that you DID just see that. The man releases you and steps back, blinking a few times. His eyes are switching from his hands, to the scepter, and then you. 

You rub your neck a bit, still keeping notice of the distance between you both.

There's silence for a few more seconds, "Get out of here."

Every part of you is screaming to run, but instead you speak, "What?"

The man takes a step towards you again, and you can almost see the pleading in his eyes, "Get. Out. Of. Here!"

This time you don't reply. Your legs quickly carry you back to the elevator. Once inside, you scan your badge, which this time brings up the panel, and then you turn around. Before the doors close, you make eye contact once more with the man.

Within 10 seconds, you're brought to the panic/safe room, instantly greeted by Pepper, "Where the hell have you been?!"

Happy is there as well and picks up his ringing phone, putting it on speaker.

"After being sent to the WRONG floor, I watched Tony get thrown from a window, and now I'm here," you say nonchalantly. 

"About ti...WHAT?!" Pepper shakes her head, mouth now hanging open.

Tony comes over Happy's phone, "I'm fine; thank you for asking!"

You shrug, "By the way, get a better system for your elevator and badges, brother."

"I hate you," Tony replies as he blasts something from his suit.

"Yea, well, get in line," you take a water bottle. "That...charming guy who threw you out of the window wasn't too fond of me either."

Tony's silent for a second, "He...are you alright? Y/N, what did he do?"

You hear the genuine concern in his voice, which takes you back a bit, "I...yea, fine. He...let me go, actually."

"JARVIS?" Tony quickly calls out.

"My footage confirms that, sir. Y/N was not harmed by Loki," the voice comes through the room and Tony's suit.

"I can close it! Can anybody hear me? I can shut the portal down!" Nat's voice now echoes through the phone as well. 

"Do it!" the same voice that was arguing with Tony in the Hellicarrier speaks.

"No, wait!" then you hear Tony.

"Stark, these things are still coming!" 

Tony says something inaudible, but then directs back to you, "If anything happens, Pep, you're in charge. Y/N, split everything with Pepper."

The call drops and Happy looks at both of you, "That's his 'I'm about to do something stupid' speech, isn't it?"

"One of them," you and Pepper say in unison.
