Always Mine (An MCU Fanfiction)

9. You're Always Mine

I felt my heartbeat racing as I neared the detention level. After I picked up my upgraded weapons and armed myself with the bracelets and guns, I heard from the others that Natasha interrogated Loki and managed to figure out the rest of his plan.

When I saw her coming from that direction, I noticed the look on her face that told me everything wasn't good.

Approaching the door to the cell room, I took a few deep breaths as if preparing to dive into the deep end of an Olympic-sized swimming pool. Even though I wasn't supposed to be there, I had my reasons for heading in. After Thor told me about Sigyn, I thought I would hear Loki's side and see if it matched.

There's no turning back now. I thought as I opened the door, walked in, and put on my best poker face as I approached the glass cell.

"Hello, my love," Loki said, smiling as I entered the room. Once again, my heartbeat banged against my chest like a hammer, and I felt my face heating up.

"I only came here for specific answers," I stated, still holding the same poker face, and crossed my arms. "Why did you abduct me from the New Mexico base? And, what's with the affection and lust you've been showing to me?"

Loki then eyed me, noticing my suit, which made me feel exposed both inside and out, and chuckled. "You should've kept on the gown. You were ravishing in it."

I mentally shook my head. He was doing it again. I wasn't letting him know that I already knew why. I needed to keep it going.

"Just answer the questions," I demanded, trying to get him on track. 

"You remind me of someone special from the past. She was like you in appearance," Loki replied.

"That's one," I checked that off. It was starting to get somewhere. "Second, why the loving affection?"

Once again, he gazed at me and advanced closer to the glass with a Cheshire cat grin. "Because you're mine, Casey. You're always mine. I will be the first to hold you, to kiss you, whether you come willingly or not."

Not happening! I thought stubbornly.

"Oh, it will, my little sparrow," he grinned, reading my thoughts.

I silently gulped and nearly fell backward. That very minute, the door opened, and an armed agent revealed himself.

"Agent Armstrong!" the agent called out. "You're not supposed to be here."

"All right. Okay," I nodded at him. "I'm going."

"It won't be long before you realize that you always were meant to be at my side," Loki said, still watching me. "That pathetic mortal who claims his feelings for you won't keep me from what is truly mine."

I started to feel uncomfortable and headed for the door, as I sensed the trickster's eyes watching every move I made.

"The boss wants to see you," the agent interjected. "He's in the lab with everyone else."

I nodded. I had a hunch Fury had seen everything from the surveillance video and monitors and was extremely pissed at me for defying his order to stay away from the detention level.

I sighed and headed off and braced myself for one of his reactive lectures, which only went on whenever an agent screwed up an order or severely damaged some expensive tech.

The next thing was that I started getting an achy feeling that something was wrong. And something was telling me to warn everyone about it, fast.

I pressed a finger on my ear-com. "Does anyone copy? Something's wrong," I spoke into it.

"What is it, Case?" Vince replied.

"I don't know, but I can feel it."

"I'm on my way to ya!" Peyton responded.

"Me too," Sean spoke up.

"Ditto," Nicole jumped in.

Before any of us could say anything else, all of a sudden, there was an explosion.
