Beneath Me 》 Loki Laufeyson《 [UNDER HEAVY EDITING]

37. 》Figure Out《

"Ah!", Kara winced in pain as she was set down slowly on the bed. Loki's face scrunched up at the sound of her discomfort.

"Shh.", he cooed, tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear. Kara was too much in pain to blush at this sweet action, though.

The god knelt down in front of her, analyzing her features. From what he had observed, the bruise on her stomach was the only injury she attained during the kidnapping attempt.

"Please lift your shirt up.", he said, looking at her in the eyes. The brunette nodded, complying with his request. A purple mark adorned her torso, and as the prince brought his hand to it, Kara shut her eyes in pain.

He stared at the bruise intently, and let his hand do its magic. Kara felt a soothing sensation rush over her, and she sighed at the feeling. Loki's lips twitched upwards at the sight of her.

His smile faltered when he remembered that whoever did this to her is still out there, and oh, how he imagined of ripping them in half the moment he knew who it was. Loki gritted his teeth at the thought, and he felt his vision turning red.

Kara sensed this, and her eyes opened to find him in a tense state, staring at a distance. She softly lay her hand on top of his, and this was enough for the god to snap out of his trance.

"What is it? Are you alright? Did I hurt you?", he was bombarding her with questions. Every time Kara opened her mouth to speak, she would be interrupted by another of Loki's questions.

"I did, didn't I? I'm sorry, darling. What else hurts? Tell me so I-"

It was Loki's turn to be cut off by a kiss on his cheek.

"You really need to shut up.", she replied, smiling at him. For once, the God of Mischief was at a loss for words.

"Silver tongue turned to lead?", Kara pushed, tilting her head to the side, still grinning at him.

"I...", he trailed off, blinking several times. "What was that for?"

Kara shrugged. "You were rambling, Loki.", she answered. Kara fiddled with her fingers as Loki watched her with intent. "Plus, thank you."

The god smiled back. "Get some rest. Stay here. I will ensure that the doors are locked so no one enters this room but me.", he responded. Kara yawned, stretching her arms out. She hummed as a reply to Loki's statement, and proceeded to lie down on their shared bed.

Before the god stood up, he crouched down and placed a kiss on her forehead. "I'll find out who did this to you, darling."

"Nothing? Nothing at all?", Steve inquired, sounding as furious as ever. The agents he was speaking to merely stared at each other, not knowing what else to say. The captain let out a heavy sigh, running his hands through his blonde hair.

"Steve, the cameras glitched around that time. No one else was present when it happened.", Natasha explained, attempting to calm him down.

"I locked the compound down as soon as you said, Cap. No one could have gotten out.", Tony added as he sat down on one of the swiveling chairs.

"That could only mean one thing: whoever tried to kidnap Kara is still here.", Sam continued, crossing his arms and looking at every team member.

"Who would do such a thing?", Wanda inquired, still processing what had just occurred last night. Vision wrapped an arm around her.

"That's right, Wanda. Who would?", Rhodey retorted, eyes on the witch. Wanda stared at him questioningly. Vision's eyes flickered from the man to the lady beside him.
