Loki's Lover

Chapter 88.

Y/n POV:

"Greg sit down and relax, seriously Michelle, I can make my own breakfast." I laughed whilst trying to reason with the retired couple.

I sat at Michelle and Greg's dining table as the old couple were preparing my breakfast. This was my second morning at their country farm house and it was beautiful. My first day was spent exploring the local town which was quaint and cute. Somehow Michelle had already become best friends with every person and shop owner in the town with a population of 100 persons.
"Your our guest daring, let Greg cook for you" Michelle smiled but my body stiffened.

"I don't quite understand.." I said a little confused,
"I want you to be mine." Loki said whilst leaning down to my height,
"Loki..." I whispered,
"Darling" Loki repeated whilst playing with the jewels on my dress,
"Well here on earth it's usually boyfriends and girlfriends who date" I explained softly to the adorable man above me,
"Will you be my girlfriend?" Loki said softly,
"Yes, will you be my boyfriend?" I said playfully,
"Come here" Loki smirked before kissing me once more with a hungry passion which I kissed back genuinely.

"Y/n?" Greg waved his hand in my face making me snap out of my trance,
"Oh pardon me, what we're you saying?" I said whilst pulling myself from the memory, it was nothing more than a memory now.
"I was saying do you like your eggs scrambled or fried?" Greg asked with a soft smile,
"Oh um, you decide Greg, and thank you" I managed a smile before quietly exiting myself from the table.

The sun was rising over a hothouse valley, swimming the plants and flowers in a golden glow. A rustic wind that speaks of olden days blew through my hair and brought a sad smile to my face.

I'd been avoiding thinking about him ever since he's been gone but now here I am, alone, standing before a gorgeous view... I let my mind wander without punishing the negativity.

I miss him. A lot. I miss his sweet gentle voice, the way he made me smile in the worst of times. How he held me in his strong arms, how I crave his touch. From the way he smelt to the way he would caress my cheek, his touch feather light. The way he made me feel loved and how nothing could ever hurt me because he was there for me. His nicknames for me and the way he insisted on always having me in his arms when he slept. I didn't feel like crying so no tears came but sadness washed over me like a tidal wave.

"What's on your mind y/n?" Michelle came up behind me and rested her elbows on the verandah beside me.
"Too many things" I sighed whilst turning my head away from her and back to the glorious sun.
"Speak to me y/n, I've noticed you've seemed a little off lately" Michelle said softly, I copied her actions knowing that there was nothing getting past her.
"I'm just allowing myself to think things I probably shouldn't" I ran a hand through my hair,
"About him?" Michelle asked, knowing by now it was best not to mention his name directly. I hummed in reply and Michelle gave me a sympathetic stare.
"It's good to allow your mind to wander, the longer you coop yourself up, the harder it will be to heal" Michelle spoke as I felt something winding through my legs.

I glance down to see my favourite cat out of all 30 of them, Rory. The midnight black cat with green eyes was staring up at me, almost like he knew I was upset.
"Hiya buddy" I smiled down at the cat whilst leaning down to scoop him up. I stood up with the cat in my arms at Michele smirked at me.

"Rory has been missing you" Michelle smiled,
"I've missed you little guy" I giggled to the cat who let me cradle it in my arms. His big green eyes staring up at me with curiosity and love.
"I can't believe this is your last day.." Michelle pouted whilst reaching out and stroking the fur on Rory's little head. The silky cat in my arms began purring and I smiled.
"I know, it feels like I just got here. But I don't wanna leave this beautiful place" i murmured,
"Then don't" Michelle laughed,
"As much as I'd love to, I have a life back in New York" I said as Rory began to squirm in my arms, I placed him on the banister. Rory began walking along the banister before me and Michelle.

"You have built yourself an amazing family y/n" Michelle mused whilst she played with Rory's tail.
"I have" I smiled gratefully,
"But you always will have a home here sweety" She reminded me gently,
"You can't say thing like that this early or I'll cry" I laughed whilst wrapping my arms around her and squeezing her tightly.
"Careful, old bones break easy" Michelle laughed as I let her go,
"Sorry, I'm just gonna miss you a lot" I stated,
"Theirs an easy solution to that problem" Michelle grinned,
"If you say I live down here again-" I began,
"No, how about you visit once every couple of months? You have my number, just give us a day or twos notice to get the spare bedroom all fixed up and it's yours" Michelle smirked,
"You really are the best person ever" I smiled at her,
"It what's they don't pay me for" Michelle smiled jokingly. I shook my head with laughter and eventually turned my head back to the view, the sun had risen more and the dew on the ground began to evaporate. Michelle was right, this wasn't a goodbye. More of a 'see you later'.

At that moment my phone began ringing in my pocket.
"Excuse me for a minute" I smiled at Michelle whilst taking my phone out of my pocket.
"Of course dear" Michelle smiled at me as I turned around and descended the steps onto the outdoor patio. I quickly answered the phone,

"Hey Tony, what's up?" I asked curiously,
"Hey tiger, we kind of need you back at the tower.." Tony said,
"Um sure, I was going to leave in a couple hours but I can go now" I said casually,
"I've sent a car that should be there in about 10 minutes if that's okay?" Tony said hurriedly,
"Okay I'll quickly go pack my things, but can I ask why?" I asked with a frown,
"We just need you- Woah! Bruce I need you to calm down for me" Tony said, obviously talking to Bruce. My eyes widened and panic infused my sense, whatever was happening back there was bad enough for banner to turn into the Hulk.
"I'll be as quick as I can!" I yelled through the phone before hanging up and running back up the steps and inside the house.

"Y/n what's wrong?" Michelle asked when she saw me,
"Somethings happening back at the tower and they need me" I shouted back as I ran into the spare room where I had been staying. Luckily I packed up my things last night so all I had to do was get dressed into what I had laid out. I cursed what my past self picked but there was no time to waste.

I quickly slid on my black skirt and crop top before the throwing a jumper over it. I zipped up my suitcase and began wheeling it outside where, true to Tony's word, a car was waiting for me. The driver said nothing as he took my luggage and began to load it into the vehicle.

Both Greg and Michelle appeared behind me and I turned to bid them goodbye.
"I'm sorry I'm leaving so abruptly" I apologised whilst giving Greg a hug,
"Your welcome back anytime" Greg tipped his hat at me when I pulled away.
"Thanks again Michelle" I whispered in her ear as I pulled her into her second hug of the morning.
"See you later love" Michelle smiled before pulling away. Giving them one last smile, I turned and hoped into the back of the car.

As soon as my car door shut, the driver was speeding down the dirt road, away from the country and towards the city. I slept on the way down here but my body was to awake and stressed to nap. My leg wouldn't stop bouncing anxiously, as I prayed for the teams safety.

Soon enough I arrived at the tower I quickly thanked the driver and got out. I walked around the side of the car and snatched out my luggage from the trunk.

"Thank you!" I yelled out to the driver who smiled at me, before I ran into the tower lobby and into the elevator. I repeatedly clicked the button to the living room floor, and 77 stories up later I arrived. The elevator binged and I looked up and gasped at what I saw before me.

In the middle of the living room, looking terribly out of place for the small room stood the Incredible Hulk. Big, green and angry. But what shocked me more than I can say was who he was holding up by the scruff of their collar. Loki.

Raven locks, green eyes...

He was being held up by the neck, eye level with hulk. On the other hand, Tony and Cap were trying to talk to Hulk into letting go of Loki. Thor was bravely holding back the rest of the avengers, who looked like they were also trying to kill Loki. Natasha and Bucky being the most angry.

But when the elevator Binged, announced my arrival into the chaos, every single head in the room turned in my direction.

When my eyes made contact with Lokis my stomach dropped. As he looked into my eyes with an indescribable expression I managed to find my voice.

"Hulk, put him down please" I said softly, my voice no louder than a whisper.
