It's Up To You And Me (Loki Laufeyson x Reader)

10

Your POV

"We're in the woods?" Loki drawls on his words, scrutinizing our surroundings. I remove my helmet and unstrap the chute I'm wearing, letting it fall off my back. He does the same and kicks it hard aside, mumbling beneath his breath.

Phil told us that they were right below us, but where exactly?

"You don't think we're lost, do you? " He asks and I jerk my shoulders a little. "I'm not sure. They were supposed to be right below us-"

"Hey, there you are!" A hand rests on my shoulder and spins me around, making me gasp. Standing in front of us is Natasha and an agent with a sniper in hand. Where did they come from?

I breathe out in relief. "Are we late? " I gesture to Loki and myself and she shakes her head, diverting her attention at Loki who's fixing himself behind me. "Loki. You better stick with us, capiche?" Nat sticks a finger at him, earning a closed smile from the prince. "Will do. Running off would be useless, either way."

"I'll count on that possibility." Nat turns around and leads us to where they're stationed, a few meters away from where our landing spot. We arrive at the camp and positioned around the area are the S. H. I. E. L. D agents with loaded snipers scattered across the area. I thought Thor was around.

"What are you here for?" I whisper to Nat and she straightens the collar of her leather suit, "On the loose test subjects. We don't have a clue as to who they're under but we need to contain them. They're enhanced and dangerous."

Enhanced, huh?

I turn around and grab Loki's hand, pulling him close to us. I expected his touch to be real cold but it's incredibly warm now. He seems taken by surprise at my sudden action but disregards it anyway. Nat orders the rest of the agents to disperse while Loki and I follow her to a spot to warm up. "Where are the guys? " I ask her, only taking a hint of their absence in the are.

"Anticipating for them on the other side. They've scattered."

"How many are on the loose? "

She pulls out her handgun and cocks the hammer, positioning to shoot. "Ten, they're on a rampage." That many then. They're not going to kill them, right?

"You're going to kill them?" I ask her with a little worry drawn on my face and she shakes her head. "Tranquilize them."

"How am I gonna know if the heat signatures I detect are theirs? "

Nat looks at me with arched brows. "They're cryos. You'll know."

Loki leans in and whispers. "You know what to do." I look up at him and inhale sharply, looking east of the area where Nat's got her gun pointed. I bend the temperature around me as Loki projects a light green energy from his hands, enchancing my sensitivity to nearby body temperatures. This feels weird but exhilarating at the same time.

I can even perceive his and Nat's. His is indubitably and entirely cold yet his touch felt so warm, considering he's a Frost Giant and all. For the past ten seconds, I've detected nothing but regular, except Loki's, heat signatures and no sub zero one's nearby.

How far are the rest of the team stationed?

But just before I could let go of bending the atmospheric temperature around me, I detect an irregular signature.

Cold.

Another one.

And another.

And another.

Four of them are close by but unperceived by sight. I tense up as I perceive more approaching at an alarming rate. Loki seems to notice me freeze up and so he asks. "Did you get anything? "
