To Be A Weapon (Loki X Reader)

Chapter 7

Upon hearing Tony's words, you begin to panic inside.
They know about my powers?! But how?! How is that even possible?! They must be bluffing.

"There must be some mistake. I don't have any powers. What the hell are you talking about?" you respond to Tony, playing dumb.

The Avengers glance at each other then start muttering to one another, having just gathered into a small circle.

"Then how do you explain this?" Loki pulls the head of a Chitauri out of his vest.
The face is severely burned, most likely from when you used your flames to escape from the now-dead Chitauri grasp.

"By thunder! Loki! How did you acquire that hideous souvenir?" Thor questions, with wide eyes.

"From the foolish Chitauri that challenged me in front of the cave in the forest," Loki responds with a smirk.

"Hey. Can I see that?" Tony asks Loki, motioning to the head, which he then takes before the god of mischief can even speak. "Hey, Clint. Heads up!" He throws the head at the assassin.

The archer simply leans over to the side, the head flying past him. It crashes right through the glass door and rolls off the balcony.

Everyone freezes, mouths agape.

Rolling his eyes, Loki insists that Tony should retrieve the head. Before Tony can object, he sees all the Avengers looking at him in such a way that lets him know that they're not amused.

You're put in a room and before you can protest, the door is locked behind you.

Avengers POV:

Tony turns slightly pale and gives a nervous laugh, "Heh. Oops. I'll call down to my building security guys to fetch it before someone calls the cops."

Bruce sighs and facepalms, "Dammit, Tony. Was that really necessary?"

"Hey! I didn't intend for it to go out the window!" Tony retorts.

"It doesn't matter now. We need to make sure this girl is indeed the one we're looking for. If she isn't, then she should be a little more traumatized," Bruce sighs.

"Good point, Bruce. She sort of took it in stride," Natasha adds.

"Yes, agreed. A lady of Midgard would have squealed," Thor says, feeling confident that he's finally understanding midgardian woman more.

After several minutes, the doorbell rings. Moments later, J.A.R.V.I.S.' voice announces the delivery of a brown bag by the building security.

After the man that delivered the bag leaves, Tony thanks his A.I. as he sheepishly shrugs his shoulders and grins.

Clint shakes his head, "I think it's time we get back to focusing on the matter at hand. Bring her back in so we can finish our interrogation. Steve, will you bring her in? You'll do the least amount of damage."

Reader's POV:

Upon re-entering the spacious living room, the Avengers bring their attention back to you.

"Well, the head that Stark decided to dispose of," Loki shoots a glare in the billionaire's direction before turning back to you, "had a badly burnt face."

"While you were unconscious, we searched through your clothing for lighters or anything that could've caused the Chitauri face to catch fire," Clint explains.

They went through my clothes?! you think. What the hell?!

"We found nothing. Zip zilch nada. Nothing," Tony adds with a shake of his head. "So unless you're Johnny Storm or Pyro, then you shouldn't have been able to set that bastard's face on fire."

"Who's Johnny Storm and Pyro?" you ask, confused.

"Seriously, woman! Where. Have. You. Been?!" Tony exclaims, looking at you in utter shock.

"STARK! Calm down," Natasha sighs.

"Pyro is a mutant who tends to throw tantrums. Johnny Storm is Steve's long lost twin," Clint says. "And they both have pyrokinetic abilities. Only difference is that Pyro can only manipulate fire; not generate it."

Steve throw a look of confusion at the archer, upon hearing him say, 'Steve's long lost twin.'
"Wait. What?" the super soldier asks.

"The point is, is that there is no way that you should've been able to burn that Chitauri," Bruce says, going back to the main topic.

"Exactly! There's no possible way I could have burnt that monster's face!" you exclaim, playing dumb.

"Then how do you explain the Chitauri face catching fire?" Natasha questions, with a look of suspicion on her face.

"Um, his face randomly combusted?" you suggest, getting nervous.

"You're lying," Loki states.

Obviously, you think to yourself, but decide not to admit that you're lying.
"Y-you don't know that!" you counter, doing your best to remain calm.

"Oh, but I do know. I am the god of lies, after all. Now. Confess. Explain to us how you were able to make the Chitauri face catch fire," Loki says in a stern tone of voice.

"And if I don't?" you counter, crossing your arms across your chest, taking a stand.

"Then we'll keep you here until you do," Clint simply states.
