Guardians of my Heart (xReader)

Chapter 28

Everyone finds a place to sit or stand. Peter and I sit on the couch while my father and Tony are talking.

"Your dad seems nice." Peter tells me and I smile.

"He can be a real jerk sometimes. But yeah... He's awesome." I grin while watching my dad.

"Don't be afraid of him.", I add, "When you two talk in private I mean. He's just kind of overprotective but I don't see why he shouldn't like you."

Peter nods but I can tell he is still nervous.

Nebula is talking to Bucky. It seems like they are talking about their metal parts because Nebula takes a good look at Buckys arm.

Meanwhile, Gamora is talking to Wanda and Nat.

Rocket and Drax are laughing with Sam while Mantis sits next to them smiling awkwardly as always.

Groot is just sitting in a corner playing on his game.

I look back at dad and Tony. Tony seems so done with my dad already. I guess he is telling stupid 'heroic' stories of himself and that puts a smile on my face.

"Alright. Attention everyone. Starprince and I have talked and decided that the guardians will stay here over the weekend!" Tony shouts over the noice of all the people talking.

I jump up surprised.

"Wait, really? That's awesome!" I smile and go to hug my dad.

"Yeah well I thought I should get to know your new friends and your... boyfriend." Dad says looking at me disapprovingly and I grin.

We all sit down and I talk to the rest of the guardians for a while to catch up.

"Oh my god guys! I totally forgot! I have to show you something!" I suddenly yell making Mantis jump.

I pull out my dagger and everyone looks confused. Without a warning I cut along my arm. The wound is pretty big and it immediately starts bleeding a lot.

"What the hell? Why would you do that?!" Dad screams while the others stare at my wound in shock.

"I'll get the first aid kit!" Gamora yells and gets up, ready to run to the spaceship.

"No! Don't." I tell her and she sits back down hesitantly.

I focus on the wound and it slowly starts to heal. I've learned to do it without using my hand. At least on myself. When others are hurt I still have to cover the wound with my hands to make it heal.

The wound slowly closes itself and the blood vanishes back into my skin.

My dad looks shocked and impressed, mouth agape, and everyone else looks just as amazed.

"Well this is new." Rocket says and Drax just laughs loudly.

Mantis touches Drax's arm and starts laughing as well.

"How? When? What? I- I don't get it." Dad stammers and still hasn't closed his mouth.

"I don't know. I discovered these powers when I revived Loki and-" I say, stop mid-sentence and immediately regret the words leaving my mouth. Now he'll ask who Loki is and I am not prepared for that. What if he wants to meet him? That would be awful.

"Wait who's Loki? Is he here too?" Gamora asks and looks around the room.

"He's my brother." Thor says.

"Lady y/n brought him back to life after he had an... accident."

"He had an accident? And how exactly did you discover your powers? I guess your first thought wasn't to try to magically revive him." Dad asks suspiciously.

"Well uh... you know... we're friends so I was obviously very upset when I saw him lying on the ground and I just... cried and somehow my hands started to glow and I don't know he was breathing again and his wound was gone." I try to explain without telling them I literally threw myself on Loki back then.

"Wait your hands started glowing? Why didn't they do that now?" Rocket asks clearly upset about having missed the coolest part.

"I mean... I guess it was only a one time thing. Maybe they glowed once when I triggered my powers for the first time? I don't know..."

"What exactly happened to this Loki?" Gamora asks.

I don't want to talk about it. I look at Thor for help and he seems to understand that I don't want to explain.

"My brother was in a very bad state a few months ago. He did some terrible things in the past and thus got locked away. I assume he couldn't stand living in that cell anymore. So... one day when lady y/n payed him a visit... he took her dagger and tried to end his life." Thor explains.

Everyone looks at the ground.

"This is all very depressing but why in the hell would you guys let her go into a cell with a freaking criminal?!" Dad yells and glares at Tony.

Before anyone can say anything to defend themselves I do.

"I insisted. I wanted to see Loki at least once. Just to know who he is because I had to know who lives in this tower before I could spend a year here. And then I started to sneak out at night to see him. He's actually a really nice person if you give him a chance to open up."

Dad looks still angry and stops to thinks for a second.

"I want to meet this guy." He finally says.

My eyes widen in shock. My father meeting Loki? That doesn't sound like a good idea.

"Why exactly would you want to meet Loki?" I ask anxiously.

"Just to know who he is because I have to know who lives in this tower after you spent a year here." He copies me and I roll my eyes.

„Alright fine." I sigh.

„Well then what are we waiting for?" Dad asks enthusiastically and gets up.

I look at Tony and then at Peter who both give me a little smile before we start walking to Loki's cell.

Dad follows me in silent.

"Wait here please. I want to at least tell him you're coming alright?" I say and leave my dad standing at the other end of the hallway.

I get into Loki's cell. He's staring out of the window at the city.

"Did you come to say your goodbyes?" He asks without looking at me.

"Actually... no. I've come because I want you to meet someone. Or well... someone wants to meet you."

He stares at me in confusion before I get out of the cell again to get my father.

Loki is now standing up and staring at us.

I tell Tony's AI to grant my father access to the cell and then we enter.

Now my dad and Loki are standing face to face. Their expressions don't reveal what they were thinking and I begin to worry.

This was a bad idea.
