Marvel Imagines

Is That Desire?

"I'm expecting you at the party." Tony sat on the table near my workbench.

"You know I am not a big fan of social gatherings." I shifted my lab safety glasses and looked at him with crossed arms.

"Do I need to mention that video of you on laughing gas?" My eyes widened. "I could showcase it at the party tonight."

"Don't, I will be there. God damn you Stark." He chuckled and I finished cleaning my bench and removed my lab coat and safety glasses. He hopped off the table and clapped his hands together.

"Perfect, black tie party, can't wait for you to meet the entire team." He exited the lab and I sighed to myself.  He certainly was happy about it, it basically radiated off him. I entered the elevator and saw Wanda. Her and I got along real well, she was the only one that knew about me being an empath.

"Hey Wanda." I smiled softly at her and she gave a smirk.

"Tony convinced you to come? I'm surprised." She looked over and I nodded.

"Gotta love being blackmailed right?" I stared at the doors.

"Your laughing gas moment?" She asked and I nodded.

"I don't need people I have never met to see that video. My empathy was more powerful in that moment than ever before." The elevator dinged and she left.

"Look forward to seeing more tonight." She smiled and continued walking as the doors closed.

I stood at the edge of the giant room watching as people moved around. I saw Jane get reunited with Thor and others have small talk with one another. I felt Tony hook his arm with mine and introduce me to everyone we came across. Clint, Natasha, some kid name Peter, Bruce, Steve, Bucky, and Sam. I knew there were others but everyones emotions were too overwhelming so I grabbed a new drink and walked out on the terrace.

I tried to calm my nerves, the drink helping me quite a bit. I stared at the night sky before a voice interrupted all my thoughts.

"Looks like you don't want to be here more than I do." I jumped and turned to see the infamous Loki. I saw my drink had spilled a bit on my dress and the ground.

"Didn't mean to scare you." He chuckled and I shrugged.

"Its fine. Don't worry about it. Its just one night."

"Why are you here if you don't even want to be?" He stood  next to the railing and faced towards me. The moonlight illuminating his face.

"Let's just say I was blackmailed by Tony and there wasn't a way around it." I drank the rest of what was in my glass. He cocked his head and I continued. "My name is Y/n, I am a chemist that works along Tony, We have known each other for a while and he has seen me in my worst. I felt hatred running off of him, but not for me or the surroundings. For himself. I shook my head, "I'm going to get another drink, want anything?" He smirked.

"Whatever you are getting." I nod and went inside grabbing two shots glasses and the tequila before returning to him. I handed him a glass and downed mine. I gave a slight wince at the burn in my throat but it helped dull my senses.

"So this blackmail, what does it entail?" I chuckled and shook my head. The alcohol hitting me a little bit.

"This stupid video of my blabbering about my life and mentioning how certain people make me feel. I also mentioned I write stories about people I meet." I felt my face heat up and he smirked.

"These stories, do you mean-"

"Yes, now please let's change the subject."

"Absolutely not, I want to learn more." He leaned a bit and I giggled.

"Maybe after another drink." He raised an eyebrow and I smiled. He nodded and we went back inside. Loki walked to the bar and made two drinks. I leaned against the bar.

He hands me the drink and I took a sip. "So, I am an empath meaning I can feel others emotions and general feelings. So when someone close to me feels an emotion or sensation, I feel it too. For example, Wanda, she was heartbroken after losing her brother, but she feels excited and happy with Vision." I pointed them out on the crowd and Loki nodded.

"I feel those feelings and to escape those feelings, I write. Could be something to cry about, something just simple and happy, something angry and every once in a while..."

"Smutty?" He quirked a brow and I giggled.

"Look its not the greatest way to hide the feelings but you know." I shrugged.

"And being an empath, you feel everything someone else goes through?"

"Yeah, its irritating sometimes. Thats why I don't come to events like this. Alcohol helps dull it. It passed down through my fathers side."

"My mother was grown up with witches, you would fit in quite well with your passions and abilities."

"Witchcraft is so interesting!" I continued to babble on. Liquid Courage coursing my veins as I switched topics. The train of thought shifting in different directions. Then it hit me like a wave. I fell silent and looked at his eyes to see him chuckle.

"You finally felt that?" He leaned over the bar a bit and I nodded.

"Is that desire I'm feeling from you?" A playful smile formed on my lips as I leaned closer to.

"Hmm. I noticed how marvelous you look in dark green, how your lips curve when you talk with passion." His eyes dropped to my lips and I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned to Tony feeling his drunken energy of pure happiness.

"You disappeared for a while, see you met Loki!" He reached over and clapped his shoulder. I chuckled and saw I finished my drink without consciously drinking it.

"Well that should be my cue to end the night." Loki smiled and began to leave. I walked after him. "Hey. want to join me for a nightcap?"I looked up at him and he smiled.

"You know what would happen if I did. Plus figured you might need the energy for dinner with me tomorrow." I smile softly before teaching my hands up to his chest.

"I'm sober enough."

"Reignite your senses and feel what I would do if you continue." I got confused but a flush of heat traveled down. My eyes widen and he gives a sly smirk. "Write about it. Send it to me, so I know exactly what you want." 

He left and I looked back at the party that dwindled as the team sat around drunk and having an intense conversation. I go to my bedroom, the feelings so strong as I grabbed my laptop beginning another chapter.
