Ashes (MCU/Loki fan fic)

Monster

What if you- what?

'You heard me 'Nala...'

Loki I'll be known a traitor-

'That's why I'll be 'taking' you '

" Shivanaala." Nick spoke from the outside of the cage. Loki let go of you and you straightened up.

"That's enough." He said you walked to the door and he swiftly let you out then shut it again. 

"Will you come back?" Loki asked.

You opened your mouth to speak. "No, she won't." Suddenly two armed guards grabbed you roughly. "What are you doing-!" You fought.

"What are you doing- where are you taking he she hasn't done anything." Loki said watching closely to the glass trying his best to remain cool.

"Get off me!" You yelled and fought to two guards off, a dozen more walking in guns raised to escort you to your own holding cell.

This was plan...

A horrible. Nasty. Plan.

Thor knew Loki would take kindly to you, he always has. Just because you were always kind to him. Since as long as you could remember.

You wouldn't be escorted to a holding cell. It would only look as such till Loki complied. You hated this, deceiving him after you had fought against the ones who'd hurt him so long.

You jerked against them as they grabbed you.

Loki they're not going to arrest me they're trying to trick you don't let them fool you-!

You were dragged down the hall and out to he room with the Thor where you were quickly let go. You sighed and straightened yourself up.

"Well, how'd I do?" You asked walking around the lab. "Great acting skills loved it." Nick said exiting.

"Were you truly acting 'Nala?" Thor said quietly and you looked up. You scoffed. "You believe I've fallen for your brother?" You asked. Thor quickly laughed.

"A foolish conclusion, forgive me." He smiled.

"Forgiven." You said. You sat down. Then heard Loki's voice over the small screen and turned to it. Natasha was there.

"There are not many people who can sneak up on me." He had said turning to her.

"After, after whatever tortures Furry can concoct, you would appear as a friend, as a balm, and I would cooperate. " he said walking to her.

"I wanna know what you've done to Agent Barton." She said.

"I've simply expanded his mind." Loki said.

"And once you've won, once you're king of the mountain. What happens to his mind?" She asked walking to the glass crossing her arms.

"Is this love Agent Romanoff?"

"Love is for children I wow him a debt. Not all children as I can tell between your feelings Shivanaala." Thor left, you gave an odd expression to the screen now alone.

Loki let out a devilish chuckle and grinned madly.

"You're here to promise a threat on her life?" He asked.

"Would it bother you if I did?"

"Heavens no." Loki replied still smirking. Your heart thudded.

"Why's that?" She asked stepping right to the glass. "We saw it, all of us. The way you look at her. The way you took care of her. In all of the time span of ten minutes." She said.

Loki tilted his head and laughed a bit.

"Oooo, you think you're clever.." he circled the cage to the camera and lifted a finger to it.

"I don't believe your bluff of torturing her for leverage upon me." He said to Nat.

"Why not?" She asked straight faced.

"Well for one, lightning hasn't dropped us from the sky." He said. You chuckled at the jest to Thor.

"Shivanaala means a great deal to many people, Thor included. However," he said sitting. "How do you know I haven't compromised her as well, that she won't do whatever I think her to the second I snap my-fingers." He said lifting his fingers to snap.

Nat became slightly unsteady. This is your bluff of taking me?
You lifted a hand to your head where he had rubbed previously.

He dropped his fingers. "But please, tell me of Barton." He said resting his elbows on his knees. Nat hesitated and sat down.

"Before I worked for shield I, well, I made a name for myself. I have a very specific skill set, I didn't care what I used it for, or on. I got on shields radar in a bad way. Agent Barton was sent to kill me, he made a different call."

"And what will you do if I vow to spare him?" Loki asked.

"Not let you out."

"I know but I like this," he laughed with a evil grin. "Your world in the balance and you bargain for one man?"

"Regimes fall everyday, I tend not to weep over that I'm Russian. Or I was."

"And what are you now?" Loki asked.

Nat stood. "It's really not that complicated. I've got red in my ledger, I'd like to wipe it out." She said standing crossing her arms again.

"Can you? Can you wipe out that much red? Drakov's daughter, São Paulo, the hospital fire? Barton told me everything," Loki said and stood.

"Your ledger is dripping, it's gushing red and you think saving a man no more virtuous that yourself is going to change anything? This is the basis of sentimentality, this is a childish prayer, pathetic." He spat.

"You lie, and kill. In the service of liars and killers. You pretend to be separate, to have your own code. Something that makes up for the horrors, but they are part of you. And they will never, go, away." He scowled.

Suddenly he slammed his fist to the glass and Nat jumped back uncrossing her arms, your heart slightly stopping for a second.

"I won't touch Barton, not till I make him kill you, slowly, Intimately, in every way he knows you fear. Then he'll wake just long enough to see his good work, and when he screams I'll split his skull!" Nat turned away dropping her head quickly.

"This is my bargain you mewling quim." He spat.

"You're a monster." She said quietly.

Loki grinned and chuckled devilishly dropping his hand down the glass.

"Oh no, you brought the monster."
