Save Me From Myself (Avengers Fic)

A Paradise Lost

After we had visited; Brandenburg Gate, the Reichstag building, Cologne Cathedral, and Heidelberg Castle, I was sold. I was hopelessly in love with Loki and I was an idiot.

Theo organized a party in the mansion that night because he's just that rich and can do those sorts of things. I didn't mention how if I had organized a party with just five people, I'd have to change the date three times and two of them probably wouldn't show up.

Loki started getting dressed in his tux and I was dancing around the mansion in sweats.

"My dear, you should probably get dressed," Theo advised.

"Probably being the key word here." I winked at Theo and he rolled his eyes.

"Your boyfriend has picked out an outfit for you."

"Tell him thanks but I'm not five, I can pick out my own outfits, and I will pick out my own outfit after this song is over." I turned up the radio and started to dance across the floor. 

Theo laughed and walked back up the stairs to talk to Loki.

I continued to dance across the mansion until I was exhausted and ready to pass out. 

I had to seize the moment. I mean, how many chances do you get to dance around a mansion for as long as you want in your sweats?

I got a bottle of water and decided to start getting dressed.

I went into another room and curled my hair, put on makeup, and got dressed in a gorgeous teal blue dress that was floor length. I put on some heels and walked out.

When I got to the staircase Theo was watching me with a smile as I arrived.

"You look beautiful, darling!" He called and I gave him a small smile.

Loki turned around and his jaw dropped.

I smirked. Finally, I wasn't the one left speechless.

I reached the bottom of the staircase and Loki was still unable to speak.

"I- er- you-"

I laughed. "When is the party starting Theo?"

"In about half an hour, but there will be those who are fashionably late."

"Perfect. That means I can go to the kitchen."

He laughed and Loki choked out a laugh as well, still staring at my dress.

"Take a picture, it'll last longer," I told Loki and Theo laughed again.

I headed to the kitchen and stared at all the different foods Theo had with joy.

"Theo! Do you think I have time to make a black forest cake?" I called.

"Yes, dear, if you're a good baker!"

I rolled my eyes. "If  I'm a good baker. Ha!" 

Loki wandered into the kitchen as I prepared all the ingredients.

"What on earth is a black forest cake?" He asked.

"Only the best thing you will ever eat. It's made up of several layers of chocolate cake, with whipped cream and cherries between each layer."

"Sounds fascinating," he chuckled.

"It is. My mom made one for me and my dad when I was about eleven and I've been obsessed with them ever since. She taught me how to make them when I was thirteen because I kept asking for them and she wanted me to be able to make it on my own."

He nodded and grabbed a stool, placing it next to me so he could watch me back the cake. When I was finished, I sighed at the masterpiece in front of me. 

Loki tried to grab a piece and I smacked his hand.

"No touching!" I reprimanded. I handed him a knife instead and we each cut out a piece.

After he took his first bite, he nodded and smiled. "You were right."

"Isn't it the best thing ever?!" I exclaimed.

He laughed. "Yes, yes it is."

"Theo! I'm done with the cake!" I called.

"Just in time too, dear!" 

I peered out of the kitchen and saw the guests were just starting to file in. I swallowed the last bite of the cake and put it in the fridge.

"Shall we?" Loki offered his arm and I took it.

"We shall."

Theo played music like; Beethoven, Bach, and Mozart. Loki danced with me the whole time and I loved every minute of it. I fought to keep my composure as Loki danced with me, but in the end, I succeeded.

Around 10pm Loki brought me up to our room and told me to stay there until he got back.

I was confused, but I shook it off and changed into a shirt and jeans. I took off some of my makeup and tied my hair into a ponytail.

I was just about to start relaxing with one of Loki's books when I heard the screams.

Please, don't be Loki. Please, don't be Loki. My mind raced as I ran down the steps. There was a body at the foot of the steps and I silently cursed.

It was Loki.

I ran out of the mansion and saw him across the street, forcing people to kneel before him.

I cursed myself. I was so stupid to think he changed. He wouldn't change.

I thought about this as he gave that stupid bad guy monolog that every villain feels the need to give. 

Maybe, this wasn't him. Why would he fake being a genuine guy for a month it was nobody but the two of us?

All of a sudden, Captain America joined the party. I considered running in, but I honestly had no clue what I would do if I did?

Would I stop Captain America from fighting Loki? He just forced a bunch of innocent people to kneel before him and almost killed an old man before Captain America jumped in. Is he really worth it now that I've seen this side of him?

I realized that even if he had been showing me his true side, he still lied to me. He made me believe that he wouldn't hurt or kill anyone anymore.

Just then, Iron Man flew down from the sky and blasted Loki. I decided now was probably a good time to go running in there.

"LOKI!" I shouted.

He grinned as he saw me coming. "Ah, Soph-"

I slammed him hard across the face. "You tricked me!"

"I don't know-"

"You killed that old man, didn't you?"

He didn't respond. 

"DIDN'T YOU?!" He slowly nodded.

"Why aren't you telling her to leave?" I heard Captain America whisper while clutching his side.

"Sometimes the fury of a girlfriend is more dangerous than a gun," Iron Man replied.

"AND YOU HURT CAPTAIN AMERICA!" I roared. "YOU LEAD ME TO BELIEVE THAT YOU WERE DONE WITH THIS!" I smacked him again, fighting back any tears. "You knew I was falling for you and didn't care to mention that you were still killing people and torturing people even though you knew I hated it."

"Soph-"

"No," I shook my head. "We're done. Whatever the hell this was is over."

"Sophie-"

"WE'RE DONE!" I screamed, walking away from him.
