Loving Lies

Chapter 20

"Wait shit Hades go back," I say with wide eyes. I have the remote...Loki was probably being shocked right now. Fuck.

"Try to go as fast as you can," I say as I hold on a bit tighter. When we near the stables, I jump off and run in. Everyone was circled around a shaking Loki.

"Tony stop taking a video!" Thor yells.

"No way this is golden," Tony laughs.

"My brother is being shocked!" Thor yells back.

"So sad, get Alexa to play Despacito or something," Tony says. I run forward and push past them. Why did I make the collar fingerprint security?

"(Y/n) what are you doing?" Steve asks. I sigh and put my finger on the collar and try not to scream. When the collar unlocks I let go and grasp my hand.

"Are you stupid?!" Kristen yells at me.

"Why do you care I'm just an 0-8-4 to you," I grit and breathe heavily. She begins to say something but then stops, walking out the stables quickly.; Steve following her.

"Brother are the ok?!" Thor yells, grasping Loki and picking him up by the shoulders.

"Damn it (y/n) the video was so good..." Tony sighs. We turn to him with a look.

"But way to be a hero!" Tony says and gives a thumbs up.

"Well so all is well now I guess," i shrug.

"What about your hand?" Loki asks.

"It's fine, now you guys all go so sit for dinner, I'll put Hades back and come," I tell them. Thor looks at me with a face a kid looks at their mom when wanting sweets.

"Yes Loki can join us," I tell him. He cheers and throws him over his shoulder. The three men walk out and I sit down on a bale of hay with a sigh. I look at burned mark on it.

"Great," I mumble as I touch it with a wince. I feel a shudder go through my body and I watch the blue flame emerge from my hand. I look at it with wide eyes and watch it trial down the burn mark, making the skin anew.

"Did you see that?" I ask Hades. He neighs and stomps his foot from inside his stall. I get off the bale of hay and lock the stall door, giving him food as well.

"Are you sure you're not hurt?" I hear Loki ask from behind me. I jump a bit and turn around. The burned skin on his neck catches my attention.

"Uh no," I tell him.

"That's good," Loki says.

"Does it hurt?" I ask.

"No not much," He says.

"Hmm let me see if it'll work again," I mumble and think of the blue flame.

"When did you learn that?" Loki asks. I open my eyes and see it there.

"Try not to freak," I say and place both hands on his neck. My gaze goes from my hands to those emerald eyes. The previous time we were this close I couldn't help but admire them; now I just looked at them monotonously. I guess it's because he's made it obvious I mean nothing.

"There done," I say and take my hands off. In the distance I hear my name being called. I look out and look back to Loki.

"Let's go," I mutter and turn to walk.

"(Y/n)," Loki says and pulls be back. I take my arm out of his grip and look at him.

"Why do you look at me like that now?" He asks.

"Like what?" I ask.

"The way the world looks at me, you've turned away from me," He says.

"Yeah well I wasn't the one who turned away first," I reply and walk out. I stop halfway and swallow the lump in my throat. Why was I so weak?
