Cursed [Loki fanfiction]

2. The Avengers

Crypt was lead into the enclosed room. The walls were completely glass except for the supporting frames. There was long stylish sofa and a huge TV in the middle of the room and a chair in two of the corners. There was a definite clean white theme in the room but there were beige cushions and black highlights. Crypt liked this room.

The chain from her neck lay on the floor and everyone watched her intently. Crypt had been a fox for so long that she had almost forgotten how to be civil, or what was civil for a Scinlæce, so she decided to be a fox, a normal fox.

Lowering her nose to the ground Crypt sniffed the floor and walked around taking in the scents of Chinese take-away and alcohol. Eventually she made a full circle and sat back down in front of the group. The look on their faces showed a mix of disappointment, that she was not a Scinlæce and relief, that she was a normal fox, or so they would continue to believe.

Nat crouched down and Crypt rubbed her head on her knee. The dark haired man continued to stand slightly away from the group as everyone else left to do their own thing. She approached him and he seemed to almost not notice her until she yapped and got his attention.

Loki's pov

The fox just stared at Loki with her icy blue eyes that seemed to be able to read his every thought. The image of the Scinlæce was almost as monstrous as he was and Fury thought that this thing in front of him was it. Human's call it either paranoia or some kind of mental health issue.

The female assassin watched him, it was clear that she liked the fox and if he did anything to hurt it she would, without hesitation, crush him like an insect. She thought that she could do that, ridiculous.

The fox continued to stare at him. What was it thinking? Loki bent down to touch her but she flinched away. He continued to leave his hand outstretched and slowly the white fox came to him and sniffed his hand. Her nose was cold but her breath was warm. Then, when she licked his hand, her tongue was rough and wet.

Creatures on Earth were more beautiful and elegant than the one's he had seen and heard of on Asgard.

End of Loki's pov

Thor had noticed what was going on and had watched Loki closely for any sign of his old brother before the battle of NYC, before all of this. Loki had caught his oaf of a brother staring, regained his composure and replaced the mask of unfeeling he normally wore.

Natasha called Crypt over, she had decided on the name Snow, and Crypt began to follow her to her room. How long did they think that she would be staying there? The room she was given was big enough for a person, clearly the expected her to transform into a Scinlæce and then take up more room.

Crypt wasn't really interested in the room. She had heard Fury correctly when he said 'interrogation' so she had to convince them that she was just a normal fox.

Snow was beautiful and Natasha had never felt so attached to an animal before, but there was the order, always lurking in the back of her mind. She had to prove that this fox was special, in one way or another.

A white fox was not natural around this part of the world so she would have to do a scan to see if Snow was chipped and someone's pet. No zoo's had reported any escapee's yet. Natasha wanted very much to keep and love Snow as a pet but that would be unprofessional.

Once she had snapped out of her haze, Snow was gone. Natasha panicked, had she lost a prisoner, never! She ran back the hall and into the common room and her heart rate decreased. Snow was making acquaintances with the rest of the Avenger's.

"Well, Snow, meet the Avengers" she said.
