Centuries being left alone and exploited left Y/n feeling cold hearted and empty. After being recruited by the Avengers she felt some pride, finally at home. And she was determined to break down the Trickster God's icy facade she knew all too well.
...
Glitz and glamour. Jane felt like she was in a Disney movie with her formal dress and hair done like a goddess. She felt her heart pick up its pace as there was a single table with roses scattered around it. Champagne chilled at the side an a candle illuminating the set up.
"Wow..."
"Jane?" The girl turns to the owner of the voice. "You look... wonderful,"
"Hi... you look... great," she says with a blush as Thor walks forward, a look of fondness in his eyes. "I'm guessing Darcy and Y/n set this up?"
"You may be correct," a waiter lead the two of to their seats, lights dimming until only a spotlight settled on a piano and microphone. The lone instruments now being occupied by you and a pianist Tony hired.
Heart beats fast Colors and promises How to be brave How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
You sing softly into the microphone.
But watching you stand alone All of my doubt, suddenly goes away somehow
With your eyes shut you take a deep breath.
One step closer...
"Lucian! Wait up!"
"Come on, Elfina! You'll miss it!"
I have died everyday, waiting for you Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years
The sunset glowed against your eyes as Lucian caught his breath.
I'll love you for a thousand more
Your shut eyes glossed.
Time stands still Beauty in all she is I will be brave I will not let anything, take away What's standing in front of me! Every breath, every hour has come to this
"This is beautiful," you look in awe as Lucian flickers his eyes to glance at you lovingly.
One step closer
A single tear trickles down your cheek.
I have died everyday, waiting for you Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years... I'll love you for a thousand more!
"You mean so much to me, Lucian," you turn to the boy with a trembling smile. "I've never been so happy when I'm with you,"
"And I with you, Elfina,"
And all along I believed, I would find you Time has brought your heart to me, I have loved you for a thousand years I'll love you for a thousand more!
"Never leave me?"
"I would never dare miss a moment with you," Lucian mumbles into the crook of your neck as you laid in his arms. "You are all I wish for, Elfina,"
One step closer... One step closer!
Opening your eyes to meet reality you hear your voice tremble, trying not to break.
I have died everyday, waiting for you Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years I'll love you for a thousand more
After a deep inhale you continue.
And all along I believed, I would find you Time has brought your heart to me, I have loved you for a thousand years I'll love you for a thousand more...
Doing a quick curtesy you leave to the back of the stage. Wanda and Nat rush to your side holding tissues, the boys watching from afar.
"I'm s-so sorry," you sob into the witch's shoulder.
"It's ok, you don't need to be sorry," Nat wipes away stray tears. "Was it about him?"
"I mentioned him once and it's that obvious?" You sniffle. "I miss him... every fucking day, and the more I try and forget the more I remember," you whimper.
"Shh, it's ok," Nat strokes your back with her thumb.
"The worst part is that it was so long ago and I should be over it! He must have grown old with the actual woman he loved while I stayed behind," a lump stuck itself in your throat as Wanda cooed for you to let it all out. "He was the first person to talk to me... he was the first person to hold me, kiss me and tell me everything was ok,"
"Hey, what happened?" Darcy jogs down the hall and lays eyes on you, who had fallen to the ground. "Oh, Y/n,"
"It hurts," you clutch your heart and drop your head. "He's been gone for almost a millennium and it still hurts,"
"You never know-"
"What? That he was like me?! Darcy, Lucian was human! He died! Lucian is dead, and has been for-" you stop yourself and look up. "I'm sorry... I shouldn't have shouted,"
Lucian... that name struck a memory in Loki's head. But it was vague, the smell of daisies and a spring breeze staying strong. He watched as your eyes opened, blood shot from the straining tears.
"You know what the worst part was? He only ever knew me as Elfina," you chuckle coldly.
Then it hit him. Elfina. The girl he had spent quite some time with when he was allowed to visit Midgard as a child. That's where he heard Lucian from! That was his alias, the one his mother had told him to use.
"Elfina..." Loki breathed out which made Tony turn to him.
"What?"
"I- I have to go," Loki clicks his fingers, looking around, before running out the door and into the dark ally.
"Where is he going?" Darcy mumbles before getting up and running after him.
"Great Heimdall-" Darcy heard Loki speak to the heavens in hope. He was however disturbed by a dark skinned man in Asgardian armour.
"Prince Loki,"
"Did you know?" The god hisses. "Did you know about her?!" Darcy jumps back as the man sighs and nods.
"I did,"
"And you didn't tell me?" Loki scoffs in disbelief. "You told me she died! That- that she passed from a plague!" Heimdall watched as the prince let tears fall.
"Apologies, I didn't know how to tell you she escaped my eye for years,"
"You tell me... by telling me!! I would have gone searching for her myself! She could have been hurt or in trouble!" Loki raised a dagger to the gate keeper as Darcy's eyes widened. "You didn't even tell me her real name... I always thought I lost my Elfina to that ghastly sickness and here I am centuries later finding out she is alive and well, her name actually being Y/n?!"
"I did not know, my prince,"
"You didn't know? You didn't-"
"She was a dangerous being, able to slip my watch,"
"SHE WAS THE LOVE OF MY LIFE!"
