Loki x Reader chapter 7

A/N: Hello everyone. I wanna just say thank you for being patient with me, though I know you're probably frustrated with my delay... I was dealing with [trigger warning...skip to next paragraph] serious mental health issues to the point where I was suicidal. I needed some personal time to focus on my mental health, as well as my declining grades.

Safe to say I'm doing much better now. The semester is over so I can focus on writing and my job. Thank you all for your reads. Enjoy!

________________________________________________________________________________

Chapter 7:

Feeling like your presence wasn't necessary, you depart from Thor, Odin, and Jane. Odin wasn't too pleased having another mortal in Asgard and you weren't waiting to be chewed out just yet. You brushed your hand against the stone wall as you walked down the hall toward the dungeons. You round the corner and see one of the guards. Giving a small smile to him you walk past and head toward Loki's cell.

He was reclined on his bed, tossing something into the air and catching it. You feel a pang of guilt as you get closer. You never were able to ask Odin about Loki's release, but now definitely wasn't the time...not with whatever is going on with Jane. Once you reach the glass you cross your arms. He's not even trying to pretend like he's preoccupied. He's just outright ignoring you.

"If you wanted to ignore me, you could've just pretended you were reading," you sighed out.

His head tilted a bit, so he was just barely looking at you, "If I did that you'd still try to stay." He turns away and continues tossing and catching the object.

Sighing, you sit with your back facing him, "I'm really trying to be impartial with you, you know. I really am." You run a hand through your hair and shake your head. "Hell, despite all the bullshit you did to my home I'm trying to help. For Thor. For your mother."

You look up at the high ceiling and continue, "All I'm asking for is a little give. A temporary truce. I know you don't like me. And I don't necessarily like you either. But can we just put the hostility aside? Do you really want to lose the one opportunity you have to change this life sentence? To prove everyone around you wrong? That you're not pure evil? Don't you want to show your fath—Odin wrong?"

You waited but didn't expect a response. And you didn't get one, either.

"Tch, forget it," you scrunched your brows and shook your head. "I have things to take care of. We have a guest and she could use some company like her." You turn to leave when a loud banging and screaming erupt from a cell down the corridor.

The lights flicker and you round the corner to get a better idea of what's going on. Your eyes go wide as you see a huge monster banging on the cell's floor. His body was like a hot coal, and the cell began to fill up with black smoke. His cellmates fall to the ground as he beats one of them. He let out a loud roar and you felt yourself go still. Guards ran past you toward the cell, but their commands are drowned out by the creature's roars.

Run

You tried to move but your feet felt like cinder blocks. 'I can't.'

"Y/n."

Your head snapped toward the voice. Loki stood at the edge of his cell. His eyes were fierce, but his face remained indifferent. "Cast a glamour." You continued to stare at him. It felt as if you were out of your body, no longer in control, no longer aware.

"Go." He said sternly.

Your legs instantly began moving on their own, and you felt your hands begin to twitch. Loki watched as you slowly became camouflaged. Your legs picked up their pace and you began running. To where? You didn't know.

Loki said to run, so you did.

Your legs ached as you continued to push yourself. You could feel your abilities dwindle, you were so exhausted. Keep pushing. Your glamour fell and people around you yelped at your sudden appearance.

You could see Thor in the distance talking with Jane and Frigga. Just a bit more.

Your lips moved, but no sound came out.

What are you doing? Scream, Y/n! You have to warn them! You have t—

"DUNGEON! THOR!" Thor's head snapped in your direction. His smile fell as he saw your fear-ridden face. He said something to his mother and Jane, but you were still ways away. Without another second to waste, he flung Mjolnir in the direction of the dungeons.

Frigga and Jane rushed to meet you halfway. You slowed down and felt your legs go limp. You stumbled a bit but one of Frigga's guards caught you. "Are you okay?" You looked up to meet Jane's gaze. Her forehead creased and her eyes were wide.

You nodded, "There's a bigger problem right now." You gasped for air. Steve and Nat's runs didn't seem to be helping you right about now. "I have a bad feeling..." You look to Frigga, "We need to get somewhere safe." Without hesitation, Frigga nodded and ordered her guards to follow suit.

You paced in the room and Jane watched you, her face etched with worry. You were anxious, you had seen what that thing did to his cellmates. What if—

"Y/n, dear, please try to remain calm." You stopped pacing and closed your eyes. Frigga was right. You were trained for this. You need to get your shit in check or else you'll be the reason for our deaths, you thought.

You took a few deep breaths and began thinking of your happy place: the warm sun on your skin, the leaves swaying in the whistling wind, the cool, soft grass, his emerald eyes.

Your eyes shoot open. His emerald eyes? You shake your head and force a shiver, now is not the time. You turn back to Frigga, "I think I can do it. I feel a bit stronger than before." She nods.

Shouting and the clattering of swords rang outside of the room. You cast your glamour just as everything fell silent. You quietly led Jane into a hidden corner, out of sight in case your glamour fell again. Frigga stood and cast an illusion of Jane.

The doors were pushed open and in walked a pale man with dark armor and a haunting presence. You felt yourself shiver.

"Stand down, creature." Frigga slowly walked toward him, cutlass in hand, "You may still survive this."

He casually walked toward her as well, "I have survived worse, woman."

"Who are you," she asked calmly as they stood before each other.

"I am Malekith, and I would have what is mine."

Frigga cast a glance at Illusion-Jane. Malekith took a step in the direction that Illusion-Jane ran toward. In an instant, she swung her cutlass and struck Malekith in his face. He drew his sword and they began fighting. Your mouth fell open a bit. You knew Frigga was one hell of a woman, but you didn't know she was a fighter, let alone a skilled swordswoman.

Malekith stumbled back as Frigga knocked his sword away from him. She spun and wielded the sword fiercely. She finally had the upper hand as she pushed him against the wall, with her cutlass to his throat.

Strong footsteps divert your attention and you see the monster from the dungeon now inches away from Frigga. He wrapped his arms around her neck and lifted her. You felt a slight tug toward them. Your foot stepped forward. Don't. Your job is to keep Jane out of harm's way.

'But, Frigga needs help' you argued to yourself. Stay put.

Giving into yourself you stepped back and shielded Jane from the scene. Frigga was restrained by the creature. Malekith walked toward Illusion-Jane and reached out to her. His hand went through her and she disappeared.

"Witch!" he shouted as he marched toward her. "Where is the Aether?"

A smug smile graced the Queen's face, "I'll never tell."

"I believe you."

The creature swiftly stabbed her, forcing her own cutlass through her back. You quickly covered your mouth to stop any noise from escaping. Someone cried out from the other room, but before you could look in their direction, bright white lightning shot toward Malekith and struck him in the face. The creature lifted him and made a run toward the balcony. Thor threw Mjolnir toward them, but it only hit its shoulder as they jumped. They disappeared into the clouds, but a small ship flew where they just jumped. With Mjolnir back in his hand, Thor threw it toward the ship... but it was too late. They were already gone.

Odin slowly made his way into the room, and you let your glamour fall. He approached his wife's corpse and fell to his knees, gently caressing her.

A faint cold tingly feeling enveloped your hands, and slowly washed through your body. Jane gently brushed past you and stood in front of you, giving you time to gain your own composure. Your eyes flicked to Thor, and he only met your gaze for a moment.

He had a strange look in his eyes. Something you hadn't seen in him ever before. Your stomach did a somersault and you could feel nausea arising. You needed to get out of there.

You turned and cast another glamour on yourself, not wanting to be seen. You ran from the room and didn't stop running until you found a small, dark, quiet corner. Quiet sobs escaped you as your glamour instantly fell.

'I could've stopped them. I could've helped.' you thought. 'Coward,' you mentally scolded yourself. You sobbed louder as you replayed her death. You shivered as the cold tingly sensation grew inside you.

Remember this feeling. Hold it. Never forget it.

Loki x Reader chapter 6

A/N: IMPORTANT AUTHORS NOTE AT END

Chapter 6: “She’s dangerous” “So am I”

You, Thor, Sif, Hogun, Volstagg, and Fandral in the banquet hall for dinner. You had gotten used to how rowdy it got in the evenings. You learned quickly it was an every-night thing to throw bangers for dinner.

Tomorrow was the day--you were going to go up against one of them.

You went to take another sip of your wine but widened your eyes when you realized your chalice was empty. Your anxiety was definitely overwhelming you a bit. You poured yourself another glass but promised yourself that was your last one. You couldn't risk getting hammered before a big fight.

You picked at meat in front of you as you all chatted and laughed.

Then Vostagg addressed you, "So, Lady Y/n, what did you learn from your training?" He raised a playful eyebrow as the rest of them looked intrigued.

You laughed to yourself when you pointed to Thor, "He's bigger than me," you shifted your finger to Fandral who was next to you, "taller than me." You moved your finger to Hogun, "And he's older than me." Then Sif, "and stronger than me." You finally pointed to Volstagg, "and his arm's a little bit longer than me." (Please tell me you get this reference).

They all looked at you with confused and concerned faces.

"If that's all she's learned, she's doomed," Hogun said concerned.

You giggled, "It's just a song, you guys." You tilted your head and smiled thankfully, "No, I learned a lot, I swear."

"She definitely has tricks up her sleeves, gentlemen," Sif said smirking. She placed a piece of fruit into her mouth and winked at you.

Thor nodded and rubbed his stomach, "Oh, believe me, I know." He lightly shivered as he remembered something. "I thought she stabbed me, but her clone went right through me."

Laughter echoed through the banquet hall as the six of you continued to chat and joke til late.

With your books in hand, you made your way to the dungeon. You hadn't seen him yet that week. You told yourself you needed to focus on your training for the fight, but you couldn't help finding yourself feeling guilty. Why? No fucking idea.

You slowed your pace as you approached his cell, finding him lying on his bed. You nodded curtly and turned to leave.

"Look who finally decided to show up."

You smoothly spun around with a cheeky smile, "Aww, did you miss me?"

He leaned up, letting his elbows rest on his knees, and chuckled, "Not you, per se."

You mouthed 'ah' as you moved closer. "Well it's not like you need company," you jabbed as you gestured to the other cells. He narrowed his eyes and smiled dryly. You chuckled as you sat down on the floor and reclined your legs. You were relieved to be wearing your regular clothes again... that's why you'd go to the dungeons so late; hardly anyone was awake to criticize you breaking the rules.

You opened your books to read and take notes from where you left off. You could feel his stare clawing at you for attention. "Can I help you?"

He shrugged.

You nodded and continued reading, but the goddamn fucker would not stop staring. "Okay," you said annoyed, "this is getting creepy, Loki. What do you want?"

He hesitated.

"Shouldn't you be sleeping?" You raised an eyebrow at him as he continued. "Your 'big day' is tomorrow. Isn't this...what did you call it... self-sabotage?"

You laughed, "Wow, look at you, picking up on the psychology I've been spewing." He rolled his eyes and you shook your head. "It's not like I'd actually get any sleep. And why exactly do you care, Troublemaker? Wouldn't that just be another thing for you to shit on me for?"

He smirked, "Oh, no, darling. You'll lose either way. I get that pleasure, regardless."

You scrunched your nose and shook your head. "Such a wise-ass," you mumbled. "Well, if it's any consolation, I caught your--Thor by surprise yesterday."

He raised an eyebrow curiously, "Is that so?"

You nodded proudly, "Yup. My clone stabbed him. Never thought I'd see the day where I scared the Almighty God of Thunder." You laughed to yourself as you thought about his expression--shock and betrayal. You furrowed your brows, "It was kinda unsettling. He looked genuinely traumatized."

Loki let out a laugh and you looked at him. He was reminiscing about something, "That, would be my fault." You leaned forward but he didn't continue. "Well done, though. Wouldn't have expected a Midgardian to pull that off."

I shrugged and leaned onto your arms' support, letting the backhanded compliment roll off your shoulders.

You looked around his cell. He had fresh fruit and pheasant from the banquet. You figured Frigga sent the food, and then diverted your gaze to his books. No new ones.

"What do you do when you're bored?"

Loki looked at you as you blankly stared back, but didn't answer.

"Is that the point of this?" You gestured to the cell, "To slowly get you to be silent with your own thoughts? So you can face what you've done, but internally?" You pulled your legs up to your chest and hugged them. "You'd definitely go insane at some point. I mean I just don't ge-"

"Enough."

You quickly shut your mouth at the harsh tone in his voice. You were trying to get him to open up, possibly let his guard down...just a little. He stared at you, his eyes now filled with disdain and something else you couldn't make out. "I...I'm sorry. I di-"

"Leave." He said quietly, but sternly. You went to respond but this time he yelled. "LEAVE!"

You flinched and gathered your books. You stood and made your leave. Quickly glancing back, you caught one last glimpse of him.

His back was turned to you as he stood, his hands were clenched, and his body was stiff.

The next morning you made your way to Thor. One of the guards told you he was still in his chambers. You picked at your fingernails as you contemplated knocking or just leaving.

You couldn't stop thinking about last night. You felt bad for pissing Loki off that bad. You never saw him that angry and you certainly weren't expecting it. Did you deserve to be snapped at like that? Probably. But it was still...

Just as you turned to leave his door swung open. Thor looked down at you with confusion, "Y/n? What are you doing here this early?"

You scratched at the back of your hand, "Can we talk? Privately?"

He nodded, "I actually need to speak to you about something important."

He led you outside to a garden. It was empty as the two of you walked its grounds.

"Something's troubling you." He stated. You nodded, trying to find the right words.

"I don't think this is working."

He furrowed his brows and stopped walking. You halted as well. "What do you mean?"

You ran a hand through your locks and sighed. "He's not going to open up to me. I'm not helping. He's too...guarded." You looked up at the fluffy clouds and furrowed your brows, "And being locked up, definitely isn't helping my case or his."

"What are you getting at?"

"How bad of an idea do you think it would be for me to ask your father for some...leniency?"

His eyes widened, realizing what you meant. "Y/n," he started.

You looked at him seriously, "I know, I know it's unlikely... but every time I think I'm getting somewhere he pulls back and hides away in a shell of himself."

"My father doesn't even know the full extent as to why you're here."

You tilted your head while crossing your arms and raised an eyebrow suspiciously, "Oh, come on. You don't actually believe that do you? He's Odin, the All-Father."

He let out a sigh, "As much as I would love to see him out of there, it's not a good idea. Not now, at least."

"What do you mean?"

"Firstly, you've only talked to him five or six times, yes?"

You nodded reluctantly, "Well, yeah. But I doubt anything would change. You know your brother, Muscles. He's too guarded, and being put on display like an animal at the zoo isn't hel--"

"There's something else." You raised an eyebrow for him to continue. "I need to go back to Earth."

"What?"

You followed Thor at a fast pace to Heimdall. He filled you in on the way. Heimdall could no longer see Jane.

Looks like that fight was put on hold. Thank God, you thought.

You could tell he was worried and told him you were coming with him, no arguments. You argued it was cuz you were his responsibility both on Earth and in Asgard. He didn't have the time nor patience to argue so he silently agreed. You gave a quick hello to Heimdall and he made a quick conversation with Thor, before opening the Bifrost and sending you both to Jane's last location.

You arrived and looked around. There were several industrial shipping crates. Your eyes landed on two brunettes talking a few feet away from you.

Suddenly the sky opened up and it started pouring. "Great," you grumbled getting drenched.

Both brunettes looked in your direction, and one of them stormed over.

"Jane," Thor said. She reached a hand up to his face and then slaps him. Your mouth drops and you step back giving them safe.

The rain stopped and you looked around confused. It was no longer raining directly on you. You went to say something but stopped when Jane slapped him a second time, "Where were you?!"

Thor's face was full of concern, "Where were you? Heimdall could not see you."

As the two talked Darcy approached and you went up to her. "Hi," you said relieved to not be focusing on the awkward conversation between Jane and Thor.

She turned her head. "Hi?" She said confused. "Have we met?"

You shook your head, "Right, no. I'm Y/n. A friend of Thor's from...work?"

She nodded, "I'm Darcy, an intern for Jane." She pointed to a guy being detained at a car behind you, "And that's my intern." You nodded awkwardly and bounced on your heels. You glanced back at the two. They were about to kiss until Darcy interrupted about the weird phenomenon with the rain.

"Hey, is that you?" she asked Thor. The rain stopped as Thor looked up.

"Um," Darcy started, "I'm pretty sure we are getting arrested."

Jane gave a dry smile to Darcy and her eyes landed on you. "Um, hi." She turned back to Thor. "Hold that thought," she said before running toward the police.

Darcy and Thor greeted each other as you three made your way to Jane and the cops. Just as you're about to reach her, the cop reaches out to grab her. Suddenly a bright red light and a strong force burst out from them. Everyone gets pushed back and Thor screams out for Jane.

He runs to her and you help Darcy up. "Are you alright?" he asks.

The cops draw their weapons and slowly approach them, telling Jane to stand down and put her hands up. Thor tries to reason with them.

"Look, officers, you don't know what's happening, neither do we. But it's best if you all stepped back," You warned.

The cop shook his head, "She's dangerous." You rolled your eyes.

"So am I," Thor responded. "Y/n." You nodded and moved closer to them as Thor grabs Jane.

You could feel the wind pick up around you as the Bifrost opened. You noticed Jane tightened her eyes and you chuckled at her response. It was definitely something that took time getting used to, you would know.

You arrive back and sigh in relief that the brief rollercoaster ride is over. "We have to do that again," Jane said with an excited smile. She noticed Heimdall and greeted him with a shy smile.

"Welcome to Asgard," he said, smiling in return.

Loki x Reader chapter 5

Chapter 5: The Girl and Her Training

Birds chirped around you and the warmth of the sun graced your skin. You plopped a grape into your mouth and doodled in your notebook. You placed the pen down and looked at your work.

A chuckle escaped your lips as you placed the pen against your chin. Loki's intrigued face was sprawled on the pages... A broken memory from that night.

Days had gone by, but you could only remember bits and pieces. Drinking with Thor and his friends, stumbling in front of and amused Loki, and displaying your power to him. You couldn't remember the words you exchanged, or why you conjured a wolf, just that you did.

It was probably well deserved.

"Lady Y/n."

You looked up and closed your book, quickly making room on the bench for her, "Your majesty. Good morning! Um... what can I do for you?"

She returned a smile and sat beside you, "I hope you're adjusting well?"

You nodded, "Yes," you thought about how the last few days consisted of lots of reading, even training with Sif, "I have been. It's been different, but refreshing."

She nodded and glanced at your notebook. "Do you write?"

"And draw," you answered while you traced your fingers on the spine's stitching, "I hope it's okay that I've been writing about my training?"

She let out a soft chuckle, "Of course, my dear. Have the books helped?" You nodded again. "Wonderful." She stood and looked down at you, "Thor tells me it's been several days since you've gone back to visit his brother."

You go to open your mouth but don't know how to respond. It's true. You felt...uneasy about returning to the dungeons; anxious if Loki would find a way to retaliate. "Your majesty, if I may?" She nodded. "What exactly is my purpose being here? Going there? Thor has been dodging my questions."

"Lady Y/n, I've heard great things about you, and you've been a friend to Thor. I hope you being here will show Loki the error of his ways--that humanity and Midgardians are not what he perceives them to be."

You were still confused. How could she honestly believe that about you? If Loki hadn't learned anything from your friends back home, why would he learn anything from you? An intern? A novice?

"Have a lovely day, Y/n." Her smile was just as warm as the sun. She turned and walked off, leaving you alone with your confusion.

Well, that wasn't very helpful.

You pondered and tried to brainstorm. Maybe there was something you could get from him.

****

You chewed at your thumbnail as you contemplated your next steps. Taking a deep breath and holding your head high, you walked through the dungeon to his cell.

"Well, well. Look who came crawling back." He was leaning against the wall with a chalice in hand.

You rolled your eyes and crossed your arms, "Don't get too excited. I came out of obligation." He raised an eyebrow curiously. "First off, I need to apologize about the other night."

A laugh erupted from him, "For what? That pathetic excuse of an illusion?"

"Pathetic? Last I checked you were begging. Loki, God of... begging, was it?" You smirked as he clenched his jaw. Sighing you continued, "I am sorry. I don't usually get that drunk. And so I might've lost my temper." You both stood in silence, and you averted your gaze.

"I find drunk you a bit more interesting."

"Oh really?"

He nodded with a sly smile, "Much more honest, too." He took a swig from his chalice. "You should really be careful who you confide in when you're drunk."

You frowned at him. "Well, you're gonna have to get used to this version of me."

You both stood in silence again. Then he finally spoke up.

"Why exactly?" He pushed himself off the wall and walked closer to the barrier, closer to you. "Why are you obligated to come here?"

You hesitated. What could you say? 'Oh your brother asked me to come here and didn't say why, but he asked me to trust him.' or 'your mom apparently thinks I'm some sort of therapist now.' You sighed and looked up at him. "Do you want the honest answer, or what I think?"

His eyes narrowed. "Both."

"Truth? Your mother and brother think I'm something more than I am. What do I think? They're both wrong, but might as well make the best out of this."

He brought his hand below his chin as if he was pondering something. "Pathetic," he said to himself.

"Look," you started. "I'm not exactly sure what I'm supposed to be doing, but I have a proposition"

He set the chalice down on the table, "Go on."

"I'll play nice and maintain honesty, and you..." his eyes urged you to continue, "You teach me."

His face twisted with confusion, "Pardon?"

"C'mon, Loki. Thor told me about your tricks. And since my illusion was 'pathetic,'" You stepped closer to the barrier, taunting him. "Show me better," you challenged. Something flashed in his eyes. "Besides, there's only so much I can learn from your mother's books. Why not learn from her greatest student?" Ah, yes, Y/n, stroke his ego.

He smirked devilishly as he answered, "Why not, indeed?"

You left the dungeons feeling triumphant that you were able to crack him a bit. Frigga thinks you can get to Loki, but he doesn't know or trust you yet. He probably never will... but it might be in your best interest to act like you were at least a little interested in his...many talents.

As you walk back to your room, you find Thor heading in your opposite direction. You smiled and waved, "Hi, Thor."

"Y/n!" He beamed and slowed his pace as he reached you. "Are you busy?" You shake your head and he nods, "Come with me." You turn around and follow him. He leads you to the training grounds where Sif, The Warriors Three, and other soldiers were training.

"What exactly am I doing here?" You questioned. Thor gave you a reassuring smile as he waved down his four friends. They greeted you with big mischievous smiles and you began to feel uneasy. "Why are you all looking at me like that?"

Sif shoots Thor a nasty look, "You didn't tell her?"

He chuckles and shrugs, "What fun would that be? She'll be fine."

"Hi," you waved your hand with a straight face, "she is right here. Why exactly will I be fine?"

Volstagg wrapped an arm around you and laughed, "You'll do just great. No need to fret."

You squirmed and pulled away, "Can you guys just tell me what the hell is going on."

Fandral smirked, "You received training on Midgard, correct?" You nodded. "And Sif has been training you over the last few days?" You nodded again.

"You'll be fighting one of us by the end of the month," Hogun said plainly.

You stood dumbfounded. There was no way they were serious. Right? You fighting one of them? It was a rigged fight. There was no way little-ole-you could take on one of them.

Fandral leaned to Thor and whispered, "Is she having a heart attack?"

****

You sighed as you stared up at the crisp sky. There were hardly any clouds, and the sun was beating down on you. The birds sang their usual tunes. It was calming.

A shadow covered the sun above you and a stern face looked down at you. Sif gently kicked your arm as you laid on the ground, "Get up." She walked away, "Time to focus, Y/n. You can't be distracted."

You silently groaned and pulled yourself off the ground. You had one more day until one of the five of them were to challenge you. You still didn't know who, so they took turns training you each day. You kept up with your conditioning and running--you knew Steve and Nat would hound you when you got back if you didn't. You could hear their supportive nagging in your head every morning as you pushed yourself further and further.

You took a deep breath and channeled your energy into your hands. You felt them get warm, as they radiated with a yellow light. You felt the light solidify and extend into two sharp daggers.

Frigga's books were...helpful, to say the least. They focused on magic, which was relatively different from your powers. But after some playing around you were able to harness your energy into different forms. Well, and Loki had been very critical about your abilities. He mostly just doubted you and made fun of you when you would show him what you learned. Besides, over the last month, you only visited once a week due to your busy training schedule. So it's not like he's seen how much you've improved. Not that his approval mattered.

As the weeks progressed, your illusions had improved too. You were able to make your illusions cover more ground, do two or three illusions at once, and even camouflage yourself. The last one you were especially proud of. It definitely helped in combat training.

Sif held her shield close to her chest, with her sword at her side. She had a small smirk on her face. She gave you a small nod.

You lunged toward her but she dodged to your right. She swung her sword toward you.

But you quickly blocked her with both your daggers.

You focused your strength on stopping her sword. You knew she'd probably swing at you with her shield.

She did.

You ducked and pushed yourself to your left, putting some distance between you two. Now you were the one on the defensive.

You put a glamour on yourself and watched as your illusioned-self and Sif slowly circled each other.

Sif ran toward your clone but they dodged her.

Your clone continued to dodge Sif's attacks and avoided any physical blocks.

You made sure to move slowly and quietly as you inched closer to Sif from behind. You were finally close enough to catch her by surprise.

Just as you were about to act, her sword passed through your clone.

Your eyes widened as she followed through with her swing and turned her body so its blade just barely touched your neck.

You stood still but let the glamour fall. She panted as she smirked at you.

"Better," she started, "But if you allow your illusion to remain untouched for too long, your opponent will grow suspicious."

Her sword was still sitting next to your neck. "I yield," you chirped, still stunned by how fast she was. She let her arm fall to her side, sword in hand, and you two walked over to a tree. She leaned against the tree and drank some water. "How am I supposed to beat any of you?" you asked sitting under the shade.

Sif shook her head and looked down at you, "It's not always about beating your opponent, but learning and adapting."

"So when I have my first mission I'm supposed to befriend my enemy?" You responded sarcastically.

"Y/n," she looked at you sternly, "You can learn great things from your enemies. Your goal may be to win, but there's much more to take away from any fight you're in." You sighed as you laid back onto the cold grass.

You knew she was right, but that didn't ease your anxiety. You were going up against an Asgardian.

You can learn great things from your enemies.

Loki x Reader Chapter 4

Chapter 4:

Thor led you to a lavish banquet hall. A long wooden table sat at the center of the room and was filled with men and women. They were talking and laughing, telling stories of their adventures. The two of you stopped as he scanned the room. His eyes landed on a beautiful woman standing off to the side. He guides you over to her and bows his head.

"Mother."

She smiled brightly and held her hand out to him. Her golden locks were pinned up, like a halo made of hair. Her gown was a dandelion yellow, with a sheer mesh-like neckline decorated with a mosaic of gems.

You quickly snap out of it and curtsy with your fist over your heart and your head bowed.

"This must be your friend," she said patting his arm.

"Y/n L/n, your majesty," you responded. Thank god Thor briefed you about introductions on your way here...who know what would happen if you were rude to the Queen.

She gently lay a hand on your arm, "Come, let me have a look at you, dear." You stand and look up, but avoid looking at her directly. I must look like an idiot. "The dress looks lovely on you. Compliments you well." She smiled kindly at you. You saw so much of Thor in her face: kind eyes, big smile.

You beamed at her, "I can't thank you enough, your majesty, for allowing me to come to Asgard. It's a beauty like no others."

Nodding she responded, "And as far as my husband is concerned, I'm the one who offered you this opportunity after my son confided in me." She winked at you, and without question, you nodded in agreement. She turned to Thor and laid a hand on his bicep and gave him a sympathetic smile.

They shared a knowing look before she excused herself, "I hope you enjoy the banquet, my dear. Tomorrow we'll discuss your training." Without another word, she left the banquet hall.

"Shall we?"

"Wait." He looked back at you. "What did she mean?"

He nodded, "She's probably going to bring Loki some books. I don't know why she entertains him. He--"

"No," you interrupted, "you know what I mean."

"My father..." you nodded for him to continue. "He doesn't believe Midgardians should be on Asgard."

Your mouth dropped slightly and you muttered, "Well that would've been great to know beforehand"

He gave you an apologetic look and began walking toward a different door. You followed closely behind him. He led you to a throne room. High pillars line the hall on both sides. On the opposite end you entered from, there were no walls, just a beautiful view of Asgard and its city. Standing under an archway, Odin stood and studied his kingdom.

"Father." Odin didn't flinch, or turn or even acknowledge your presence. He just stared out at Asgard. "I present Lady Y/n." You bow with your fist against your heart.

"Have you settled in nicely?" He inquired.

"Um," you instantly got your shit together, forgetting your nerves. "Yes, All-Father. Thank you for you opening your home to me, and allowing me the opportunity to hone my abilities, sir."

Your eyes remained at his feet and he chuckled. "Very well." He turned to his son and with a stern voice advised him, "During her stay on Asgard, she will be your responsibility. You are to ensure her safety, as well as maintain she stay out of trouble."

"Yes, of course, father," Thor responded with certainty.

"My dear," you daringly look up at him and he motions you to stand, "My wife tells me you possess the ability of illusions."

You cursed to yourself. Is it rude to correct the King? "That's definitely one way to put it. I hope to discover the full extent of my abilities so I can help people back home."

He gives a cautious smile, "I hope you remember that with great power, comes great responsibility. Any power can be used for good--or even bad for that matter. Carry that with you during your training." You hummed in understanding and he gestured for you two to head back to the banquet hall. "You may go, enjoy the banquet."

You both thanked him and made your way back to everyone.

"Definitely more intimidating than you said," you joked.

****

Thor had introduced you to his close friends: the Warriors Three, and Lady Sif. Volstagg was loud and hearty, Hogun was serious and silent, and Fandral was extremely polite and a little... flirtatious? Sif was bubbly but serious...definitely more bubbly when drinking.

They had welcomed you, asked you if you had any stories--which you didn't because you never actually went on a legitimate assignment. They still seemed warm and open to you. You were grateful for that.

Volstagg was telling a story about when he had come to Earth a few years back--when Thor had been cast out of Asgard. From Thor's hearty laugh and Sif's questionable smile, you could tell he was a very creative story-teller.

You weren't able to keep up with their high tolerance. And you thought Thor was an experienced drinker. Having all five of them guzzle down their ale, while you're not even done with your second mug. It didn't help that Asgardian alcohol was much more...intense.

Thor somehow lost track of your whereabouts while he and Volstagg were having a drinking contest. You found yourself stumbling into the dungeons, with a newfound sense of confidence. You wanted to confront Loki and his idiot face about his idiot remarks from earlier. You stumbled from cell to cell, forgetting where Loki was.

"You're not Loki," you moved to the next cell, "Ne-neither 're y-you." You looked around confused, the room spun a bit."Wherethehell isthat little--Oh!" You grinned like an idiot as you approached his cell.

He had an amused look on his face and mumbled, "This should be good."

You pointed your finger and narrowed your eyes, "You."

"Yes?"

"You...you..." you forgot what you were going to say. You tried to study his face but he kept swaying. Why was he swaying?

"Not very lady-like for you to be wandering the halls drunk as an idiot on your first night in Asgard."

"W-willyoushutup," You growled as you leaned against the stone beam next to his cell. "You oweme an an ap-apopology." You tried to look fierce and angry...but this was an embarrassing sight. Your hair was frizzy, your dress was disheveled, your eyes were drooping.

He stifled a laugh, never had he thought a mortal would look so funny...stupid, yes, pathetic, yes, but funny? This was a first.

You continued your drunken rant.

"I camehere t-t-to help Muscles. Cuzthat's what friends arefor," you whined and stomped your foot. Your knees felt week and your body was tired but you ignored them. "Imgonna be 'ere for-for, well Idunno how long but" you burped, "I made a promise. And I nev-never break 'em."

You looked directly into his emerald eyes. "Never," you emphasized.

He raised an eyebrow, "Is that so?"

"Shuddup." You looked him over and huffed, "You're such a-an emo."

"What the bloody hell does that mean?" You waved your hand in dismissal.

"A-and a dra-drama queen." You giggle to yourself, imagining Loki like a 1950's actress, prim and dramatic...and so demanding. (I promise this isn't a dig at any actresses, just tryna emphasize Loki is a drama queen).

"You're quite pathetic," he said in a matter-of-fact one. You glared at him. Being done with your conversation you began to regain your balance. You wanted to leave him with one last gift before the night ended.

A malicious grin formed on your face.

Loki raised an eyebrow cautiously. You clumsily rubbed your hands together as your thought of your sweet revenge. He was completely dumbfounded by your strange actions, not knowing what was in store for him. You opened your eyes and giggled devilishly.

"I hope you and your new roommate get acquainted." A low growl from behind startled him. He slowly turned around and he paled when he saw a wolf twice his size standing opposite him. "I would hate to see you turned to dog-chow." Contentedly you turned around and happily stumbled a bit.

"Wait!"

You stopped.

"Wait, you can't kill me. You won't kill me."

You glanced back, "Oh?"

The wolf inched closer, snarling at him.

"Wait wait wait wait."

He pleaded with you. How...out of character for the big bad wolf I heard about, you thought. You chuckled as the wolf growled and pounced. He flinched and turned his body away from it, waiting to be torn to shreds. But it never came.

You burst out laughing and lost your balance. You landed on the stone floor, gasping for air.

Loki looked at you with pure outrage. The wolf stood outside the cell now, circling you protectively.

"You deceived me."

You finally caught your breath. "Oh god, that was good." You finally felt a little more stable and stood up, "Didn't think the God of Mischief would fall for something like that.”

"You'll regret that you mewling quim," he growled like your wolf. You could practically see his aura around him: rageful, vengeful, out-of-his-mind angry. But you shrugged it off. Sweet sweet psychological torture.

"Doubtful. Totally worth it," you quipped shaking your head with a proud smile.

You waved your hand and the wolf dispersed into the air. "Gooooodniiiiight," you sang as you left Loki's cell.
