Avengers [Fluff/Smut/Angst]

Apprentice [Strange]

It's been six months since Tony and Stephen decided the best way to help Adra is training, she could now support the weight of people but not for long. "Something on your mind?" Strange asked, his sudden voice startled her as she she snapped from her daydream. "I'm fine, just thinking about things." Adra admitted, though she wouldn't fully say what things. "You're meditating, yes? Keeping your head clear is step one to gaining control." Stephen was lecturing her, he did this from time to time. "Yes, I spend four hours a day meditating. I could use some fun every once and a while." Adra sighed out. "You have a hard time controlling your emotions, that prevents you from being at your full potential. Do what I do bottle it up and ignore it. Not healthy, but sharpening your mind is our main concern." Strange said looking to her knowing she had something on her mind. "Adra, you need to focus, stop day dreaming." Strange scolded, he needed her to put all of her effort in the lessons.

Taking a moment to himself, he could sense magic in the world, Asguardian magic. Holding out his hand he pushed Adra aside with a stern expression. "Prepare yourself for battle." He warned her as she gave a nod. Holding out his palms he made a golden circle appear. A man fell from the cieling as he hit the floor, the trickster groaned wearing a black suit which made Adra freeze. "What is the meaning of this?!" Loki shouted unaware of her presence, getting up Loki glared to Srange, which in return glared to Loki ready to attack. Before questions were answered Adra stepped closer to the God, her expression stoic as her hand reached to touch his cheek. "Loki?" Adra asked confused. "You died! No--you, of course! You lied!" Adra shouted as Strange knew clouded emotions lead to destruction with her. "Adrasteia?" Loki asked looking to her with unsure emotions and what felt like guilt. "Why are you here with this wizard?" He asked, his voice lowered as if demanding to know. "He's my mentor, that's none of your business. I thought you DIED!" Shouting at him she held out her palms to his chest, shoving him back.

Strange rushed wrapping his arms around her as she kicked and growled seething. "How do you two know each other?!" Strange shouted as Adra laughed. "He's a lying snake!" Adra hissed out looking to the small side table against the wall, tracing her eyes from the table to Loki it swung at his direction. Hell hath no fury, like a woman scorned. Strange stopped the table with magic placing it back to the spot it came from. "We slept together." Loki spat, he smirked knowing she'd get even more pissed, after all it seems she'd taken comfort in the arms of this wizard. "Oh yeah sex, meanwhile the God of lies told a mortal he loved her then faked his death!" Looking to the table again Strange could feel the awkward tension. "Sex? Really? With him?" Strange asked her as she glared up to him over her shoulder. "I was manipulated, obviously! I also take life essence or energy from contact." Adra nearly forgot Loki was standing in front of her. "Don't play koi, I'm sure you know all about it." Loki scoffed out, though the silence which filled the room suggested otherwise.

"I only recharge from people I trust." Adra stopped fighting as Strange glared down to her, did she not fully trust him yet? He started wondering why that thought even crossed his mind. He could think freely, Adra couldn't read his mind since he kept it locked up tight. "The red head, me, that goodie two shoes soldier, need I go on?" Loki dared to test her, he straightened his jacket as Adra narrowed her gaze. "Oh yeah? How old are you again? Three people compared to hundreds of others in your lifetime seems very slim. Not to mention, I'm the only woman that's ever made you feel whole. Try filling that empty void again in your heartless chest you soulless bastard." Calming down her words rushed out in a moment of rage, they hurt the God only silence fell over him as she used his very words against him.

"Give me my sling ring Strange." Barking out an order to her mentor, he glared down to her sternly. "I will find it if I have to do a full body search on you." Adra said, her words were a promise not a threat. "Reaching into his pocket he reluctantly handed the sling ring over. "Don't do something stupid." Strange warned her as she placed the ring on her fingers. "I always do, you should know me better than that." Adra mused, while she smirked. Loki looked down at the golden circle forming under his feet. "Have a nice fall." Adra said before Loki parted his lips to speak, he fell into the portal before having the last word. Closing the portal she pulled the sling ring off handing it back. "Thor should be here to collect his brother soon, you need to go meditate." Strange glared to her as she noticed he had yet removed his arms from her.
