Toxic (Loki Laufeyson x Reader)

{12}

You woke up to the sound of an alarm. You let out a small sigh and rolled out of the bed. You walked out of your room and into one of Tony's control rooms to find the man himself standing there looking at one of the monitors. 

"What's going on?" you asked him. "The scientists we told you about, they are starting their assault on New York. We need to assemble the team," Tony replied, his eyes never leaving the monitor. "Okay, I'll go get suited up," you told him. He nodded his head and you left the room and went back into your bedroom.

"Is everything alright, love?" Loki asked, coming into your room. You gave him a small smile and replied, "Yes, everything is fine. The scientists have started their attack, and we have to go stop them." 

You then motioned for Loki to turn around so that you can change, which he did. You slipped on your SHIELD jumpsuit and then moved next to Loki to open a small table that was next to him, where your guns were. 

"How dangerous are these scientists?" he asked you, turning to look at you, now that you were dressed. You pulled out your two guns and a few magazines as well as some ammo. "I don't know, but it took both of us to take down one of their men, so I'm assuming they are pretty dangerous," you replied honestly as you began loading the ammo into the magazines.

"Well then perhaps I should fight them alongside you," Loki stated, making you look up at him. You gave him a soft smile and then stood up, setting your now fully loaded magazines aside. You walked over to him and placed a hand on his cheek. 

"As safe as I would feel if you were next to me, I don't think there is any way the rest of the Avengers will let you even step foot outside of the Tower," you told him softly. He grabbed your wrist with one of his hands and placed his lips to your palm. "I don't want you to get hurt," he stated, his blue eyes piercing into your E/C ones.

"Don't worry about me," you reassured him with a small smile, before dropping your hand from his cheek and turning back to your guns. You loaded a magazine in each gun and placed the two guns in their holsters before strapping the extra ammo onto your suit. 

Loki watched your movements, worried about what could happen. You put on your combat boots and put your hair up into a ponytail, before turning and facing Loki. "I'll see you later," you told him, a bright smile on your face, before beginning to walk out of the room.

Before you could though, Loki grabbed your wrist, making you turn, and pulled you into a passionate kiss. He pulled away after a moment, leaving you slightly speechless. "Promise me you'll be careful," he told you. "Always," you replied with a small smile, before placing a loving kiss on his lips. You pulled away after a moment and then walked out of the room, joining the rest of the team in the living room.

"Ready?" Natasha asked. "I'm always ready," you replied with a small smirk. You followed the rest of the team out to the streets of New York, and within minutes you found the task force of scientists and their superhumans. 

The superhumans had already begun to cause mass destruction and death, so there wasn't much time for a plan. There was only time for action. You quickly ran to the first superhuman you saw and began to fight him. He was tough, but eventually, you took him down. This threat was unlike anything you had ever faced, you had to pull out every trick you knew just to take down one of these superhumans.

You continued to fight, taking down one superhuman after another, and helping out a member of the team if they needed it. For a moment, things were looking good, and you truly believed that you could actually win this fight. But then, everything went downhill. 

You were fighting a superhuman and had lost one of your guns. The superhuman kicked the gun far away but using your other gun, you managed to take down the superhuman anyways. What you didn't see was that one of the scientists, the brains behind the operation, had managed to get your gun, and the moment you regained your balance from the fight you had just gotten in with the superhuman, the scientist shot you.

You gasped as you felt the bullet hit you in your lower back, going through your stomach. Slowly, you turned around to see the scientists who shot you. The next thing you knew, the scientists had shot you again, this time closer to your heart, and you fell to the ground, gasping for a breath. 

"Good job guys, it looks like we are winning," Tony's voice came across the coms. The Avengers were spread out all over the place. No one saw you go down. Slowly, and painfully, you reached up to push the coms button on your ear. 

"Help," you got out, barely above a whisper. "Y/N?" Steve's worried voice came over the coms. You didn't respond which worried the team even more. After a moment longer, Clint came into your field of vision. "Oh my God," he breathed out, bending down and trying to stop the bleeding as you began to fade in and out of consciousness. 

"What's going on?" Natasha asked over the coms. "It's Y/N, she's down. She's been shot twice," Clint said, looking around for anything that could help save your life. "I'll be right there," you heard Natasha say before you faded out of consciousness.
