Flames - (avengersxreader fanfic)

The Whimpering God

"So that's Loki," you say over Thor's quiet sobs.

You had only heard of him when he attacked New York, but over the last few minutes hearing how he tried to save Thor multiple times and gave his life in an attempt to kill Thanos you didn't think he was such a bad guy.

"Yep that's him," claimed Bruce. "In all his dramatic glory."

You look around the room observing all the different reactions. Thor was huddled in his chair, rocking himself back and forth while everyone else was re-watching the footage with varying facial expressions of, hatred, contempt, astonishment, and disgust upon their faces. They had all tried to explain to a grief-stricken Thor that Loki was alive, failing miserably in all their attempts. He was adamant that his brother was gone, but he just kept muttering over and over,

"He died, he died in front of me, HE DIED."

"I know this is a lot to take in for all for us but I thought it would be best that we could start thinking of ways to deal with him as soon as possible," starts Rhodey after five minutes of hushed conversation between the members. You sit in a chair slightly distanced from everyone - you didn't feel like this was a topic that you could contribute to. "I'm open to all suggestions about his motivation and how to get rid of him."

"What why would we get rid of him, you are not touching my baby brother – I've only just got him back," wails Thor, tears still dripping down his face. Without the heart wrenching context, it would be quite comical. He lurched out of his chair and trudged towards Rhodey until he was inches away from his face practically spitting out the words. "You hurt him and you'll have to deal with me."

"Hey, take it easy buddy, you know what why don't we pick this up tomorrow when everyone's emotions aren't so high," said the ever diplomatic Strange.

"Okay...Okay," mutters Thor sitting down, letting his affliction swallow him.

Everyone starts moving around, Bruce returned through the door he had entered the others through the mirrored double doors you had pushed open. The only people left in the room were yourself, Stephen, Rhodey, Thor and Carol. Stephen was in a deep discussion with Thor, he seemed to be acquainted with Loki. Carol was talking to Rhodey apparently very irritated at being called to this meeting. Rhodey starts yelling,

"C'mon Carol your crazy if you don't consider him a threat."

"Listen Rhodey I have to protect this whole galaxy from threats, and you call me in for some power-mad demigod that you've defeated before.  You're the crazy one here my friend," she explains before blasting through the window. Stephen, unfazed, creates a shimmering bubble around him and Thor shielding them from the gleaming glass that rains down on you and Rhodey.

"Goddammit Carol!" he shrieks after her.

You approach him nervously – he didn't seem very happy.

"Hi Rhodey, I'm sorry if this is a bad time but what I meant to do now, am I part of the team, do you still want me here? " you question him.

"Well, why don't we see how you perform during this mission and then we will take it from there," replies Rhodey while glaring at the mess beneath him. "You can't mess it up more than these imbeciles."

"So, I'm on probation?"

"If that's what you want to call it sure,"

Your heart skips a beat, "wow," you thought. "They already trust me."

 You can't mess this up. You could feel a smile forming on your lips from the euphoria that was bubbling inside. You quickly stop as you saw Rhodey's gaze flick up to you.

"Do you have anywhere to go Flames?"

"No, not really."

"There are some accommodation suites in the building just across from the fountain - the one with the statue out front - there is a small communal kitchen between all the rooms and a gym on the lower floor , feel free to make yourself at home - I live there too so you'll see me around. Go and explore today but be back here by 10 am tomorrow – gates shut at 11pm so be back inside by then as I don't trust you enough yet to give you the access code. Here is a visitor ID it will let you into the building."

He hands you a small card and motions for you to leave and you slowly close the door behind...that's when the adrenaline kicks in. You madly rush down the stars crashing into the walls as you hurl open the side door and sprint across the perfect lawn. The fountain's mist drenches you as while you scramble towards the entrance of the modest building. There was sign next to the revolving doors that stated it was the Romanoff building. 

You entered a clinical white lobby: a set of stairs rose up to the suites on the second floor and two doors lead to two separate wings - one of them seemed to lead to a gym and you could hear two people sparring down there. You thought that you'd investigate later, right now you really wanted to see your room. Dashing up the stairs you open the first door - bad idea it seemed to be Rhodey's room. Hastily closing it you walk into the centre of the suites. A modern kitchen and island stretch along the back of the room, a small living area with a couple of armchairs and sofas faced a screen. Two of the walls were solid planes of glass flooding the room with the sunset outside. Two other doors lead off from this area, you choose the right-hand door and swing it open.

Inside is a spacious room with a double bed in the centre. A wide window stretches across one wall the rest of them painted a light teal with plain wooden flooring, the window shows off the whole skyline. The sheets on the bed were a dark blue and looked plush and full; you couldn't wait to relax. You quickly check in your wardrobe to see if there were any other clothes you could wear - it was packed with hoodies, t-shirts, jeans and even a fluffy dressing gown with the Avengers logo stitched onto a pocket.You grab it and walk into your bathroom turning the shower onto a burning hot stream of water - heat had never bothered you unsurprisingly. You had to get the stench of New York off you
