Loki X Reader: Iophilia

-Chapter 20: Bazaar-

At max speed on a bumpy road, Loki drove down the dry hills on the motorbike he stole with Y/N holding on tightly behind him. The dust cloud rose behind them as the swiftly got down to the main road. "We shouldn't have stoled this motorbike, Loki," Y/N said a bit worried as she wrapped her arms tighter around his waist. "You should've said that before we jumped on it," Loki chuckled and pumped the speed. Between the Turkish traffic, Loki didn't even look like an aggressive driver. Everyone had somewhere to be in the morning. 

"Still," Y/N begged to differ. "We shouldn't have stolen this motorcycle-" "It's a scooter." Loki corrected her. "I'm sorry, I didn't know correct terminology would decrease the rate of your crime." Y/N almost yelled. Loki grinned and turned around to look at her. Y/N huffed: "And keep your eyes on the road, damn it!"

Eventually, they drove into a side road and Loki was faced by the tumultuous traffic of Turkey. Everyone had somewhere to be and no one was going to slow down for anybody. Especially pedestrians. But even the pedestrians were determined to cross the roads.

Loki kept searching for smaller roads so he could shake off the traffic and park the stolen motorcycle. On their way, they drove into a long main road with a beach on their right side. The tourist, folks with summer houses and locals embellish themselves in the sweet pleasure of the Turkish coast. "Should we go for a swim?" Y/N asked Loki. "Absolutely not." He sighed like a strict tiger mom. "Why?" Y/N whined. "I don't get the fun in splashing around in filth." Loki coldly answered. "But it's so peaceful and fun!" Y/N argued. "Both of those never last," Loki sighed and sped up. 

"Okay boomer."

"I am older than a boomer."

"Ew," Y/N stuck her tongue out before Loki abruptly stopped in an alley. He leaned the scooter against one of the brick walls and left the scooter to be stolen by someone else. "You're the rudest-" "But we're in the city, right?" Loki smirked as he rubbed his hands together. "Well yes but-" "Then don't complain," He folded his arms. 

"Fine! Lead the way Odinson," Loki grabbed Y/N's wrist and pulled her out the alley and into the most crowded area. The chaos of the Saturday Bazaar. Different local vegetables, fruits, and sweets were being sold. Without any heads up, Loki dived into the crowd-pulling Y/N along with him. "I thought Thor was meant to be the reckless one!" She yelled as she got squished in between a group of people she didn't know. The only indication that Loki hadn't left her was that he was still gripping her wrist. "I calculate every movement I make, don't worry," Loki said a bit louder than he normally would have.

They squeezed through the crowd and ended up at a crossroads. They picked the less crowded road and eventually ended up on the outskirts of the bazaar. "Let's just stay around these parts," Loki suggested and let go of Y/N's wrist. "We can be at ease now," He sighed and began walking around. After walking around the circumference for a while, they stopped at a corn stand. "Do you want one?" Y/N asked as he got out her tiny leather wallet. "I don't need to eat," Loki slowly said. "So you do," Y/N concluded and walked up to the tiny stand. "Two, please," She said as she held up two of her fingers. The man behind the stand put two corns on the grill as Loki walked up next to Y/N. After they got handed their salted and grilled corn in a napkin, the pair walked away. 

"It's not that bad," Loki eventually said after a few bites. "It's corn," Y/N said cocking her eyebrow. "What'd you expect?" She asked. Loki grinned and looked ahead. Suddenly his smile faded a bit. "Sh*t," He said. "Well that's rude," Y/N commented. "No, look," Loki whispered as he stopped and pointed ahead. Y/N looked and saw a man in a suit a few meters ahead. When she looked ever closer she saw a round embroidery on his jacket. 

"Hydra..."

"We need to go," Loki said and grabbed Y/N's arm. Just as the words escaped his mouth, a bullet flew right in between them and shot one of the wooden poles of a stand behind them. "Yeah, agreed," Y/N said as they both ran in the opposite direction together with the whole crowd of people nearby. It didn't take long for the Hydra agent to run after them. "Why'd Thor take my daggers?" Y/N heard Loki hiss under his breath. "And the stupid collar is sh*t," He grunted as he grabbed one of the poles of a stand and pushed it down, making the whole structure fall down and block the nearest way back to the center of the bazaar. 

The agent jumped over the structure by jumping on a crate beside the stand. "Why is he following us? How'd he even know we were here?" Y/N yelled at Loki as they ran through the bazaar with all the people. "I don't know," Loki said with furrowed eyebrows. "We need to get out of here," Y/N said before looking back. The agent was pushing through the crowd behind them. "I'll hold him off," Loki insisted as he stopped. Y/N stopped aswell. "Get out of here!" Loki yelled at her. A bit hesitant, Y/N turned back around and ran away. 

With an abandoned pocket knife that was left on the crate, Loki marched forward toward the agent. He had noticed Loki coming and raised his gun to shoot him. The bullet grazed Loki's right shoulder as he ducked underneath a table, but the bullet went right through and hit a closed crate filled with peaches. Pieces of peach flew through the air and splat back down one the ground, hitting Loki right in the face. With a disgusted look on his face, he rubbed the sticky mush off his face with a grunt.

"Okay, you muliebrous fleabag," Loki hissed as he reached for the nearest jam jar and yeeted it toward the agent. The glass jar hit him right in the jugular making him back up. Loki took this opportunity to run toward him and kick the gun out his hand and out of reach. With the same movement, he kicked the agent right in the stomach making him stumble and fall on his back. He swiftly took out the pocket knife he found and unleashed the tiny blade. He inspected the blade for a second and really took the time to formulate an opinion:

"Pathetic," He noted as he twirled it around his hand and got ready to stab the agent right in the eye. Just when he was about to hit the cornea, the agent grabbed his fist and redirected his entire arm to the left, making Loki's body slam against the table of another stand. 

'That wasn't conventional' Loki thought as he pushed the table off him and dodged the agent's fist right before it could hit his face. 'Where is that pocket knife?' The agent didn't give Loki a rest as he tried to look for his blade. The one second he wasn't paying attention, the agent grabbed him by his throat and kicked him on the ground. 

The agent had an extra blade with him and was about to cut his insides open when suddenly a dagger came flying in from nowhere, hitting him right in his arm. He yelped, giving Loki the opportunity to get away and look at the direction the blade came from. He was surprised to find Y/N standing on a table with a set of daggers. 'She uses daggers?' 

"Let's go, I found a route back," She yelled. Loki looked at the agent before running toward Y/N and following her to a staircase made of crates. The crates lead to the roof of a house. "Quick, give me a boost," Y/N said as they reached the top crate. Obviously she couldn't reach the roof. Loki swiftly gave her a boost and helped her to get on top of the roof. Y/N stuck out her hand and grabbed Loki's arm. He grabbed her arm as well and jumped up so she could pull him up. Suddenly a gunshot was heard. Appearantly the agent missed Loki's foot by half an inch. "Jesus!" Y/N screamed as Loki got on the roof. They both ran away until they reached the end of the rooftop.

"Now we jump," Y/N said as they looked down. "Are you crazy, we're way too high up. You'll break your neck," Loki argued. "Dude, trust me. If we jump down here, we can quickly go down the sewage system right beside it and make our way back to the base." Y/N quickly explained. "Ew," Loki raised his nose in the air. "Ready?" She asked as they backed up. "Yes, I guess," Loki reluctantly said. 

"Okay, one, two, three!"

"-And then I broke my leg," Y/N explained to Tony who sat beside her bed. "You idiot," He concluded after half a minute of silence. "Not only did you break 500 rules in one day, but you also managed to break your leg and smell like a toilet," He sighed and rubbed his eyes. "But hey! At least he didn't find us!" Y/N grinned. 

"Loki carried you all the way through the mountain, right? Jesus, the guy's in shape," Tony mumbled. "And he's also covered in dust and toilet water," Y/N added. "He requested lavender-scented shampoo so, I guess he wasn't that happy about it," Tony sighed into his hands. 

"You're grounded, by the way," Tony said as he stood up. "Damn it, mom," Y/N groaned and folded his arms. "And since your last doctor jumped off the bridge a few days ago, we flew in a doctor from Europe," Tony said. "Jesus, you could've told me that a few days ago. Now I feel even shittier," Y/N mumbled. "His name is Dr. Stephen Strange. Fury told us we could trust him. He isn't specialized in dumb people who break their leg but he can help your broken leg," 

"His name is Doctor Strange? Wow, what a name," 

"No kidding," Tony said unamused and walked out of Y/N's room.
