Astral Pt. 7 (Loki x Reader)
Ok so i lied Loki doesn’t come back yet, NEXT CHAPTER i promise XD I didn’t realize there was more I needed to write out, strengthening the relationship with the Avengers and such. We’re finally at the part where they reunite though AHH :) (i don’t think you guys understand I’m writing this and I’m getting just as excited as you all at Loki’s return!!! It’s taking everything in me to not post the next part already XD)
Tumblr media
It’s two years later, you’re 21, when you’re offered a spot on the Avengers. You accept right away only too sad you weren’t asked before the Chitauri invasion considering if you had been on the team you would have seen Loki in person. 
You had been working over time on one of the command computers trying to run diagnostic on what was and wasn’t working in the system, what had been compromised when a brainwashed Clint had attacked. You had watched the CCTV cameras picking up on just who was attacking Earth. Of course with you having to work over time you didn’t get to visit the God in his temporary cell when he had been aboard the helicarrier. (The sight and knowledge of him being so close to you stole your breath and made your stomach flutter though) However, you thought on this and decided it was for the best you hadn’t seen him, considering he had been delirious for power and subjugation of the human race. You couldn’t help but doubt the invasion was all Loki because this didn’t seem like the Loki you knew. Loki was caring and that one time he even said you may have changed his mind on humans, even if it was ‘meagerly’. 
Something in your gut told you he wasn’t of his own mind too but no one would listen to you. You had your proof though, his bright blue eyes told you. The Loki you had first met had lovely, hypnotizing green eyes. You regarded your proof as 100% foolproof when you got a close up of Clint and Dr. Selvig who also had bright blue eyes. You couldn’t outright tell Fury though because then you would have to explain where you knew the God from and, in turn, then explain where you got your magic from. Luckily Fury had been willing to let slide where you got your powers from when they brought you in on your 18th birthday. He had skirted around the question and when you didn’t give up anything he just outright asked you. You told him you’d prefer if you could keep this one secret, he could have anything else he wanted from you but that. Fury reluctantly yielded to your one demand and let it drop. 
So, you may have slipped past Fury, making sure to touch him, on his way to speak to the Avengers after the invasion and planted a thought you knew would flourish in his mind. The thought that maybe Loki had been brainwashed too and flourish it did. Fury had told Thor that he would talk to the World Security Council about Loki. Fury then came to you and asked you to gather all possible evidence that Loki had been brainwashed then Thor would look over the information and videos to either confirm or deny if it was something he thought his brother would, or wouldn’t, do. 
With you working missions with both Natasha and Clint you made a name for yourself, you were finally noticed by people. No one had given you a super hero name just yet but you vowed, in due time, you’d give them a reason to. Working with both Nat and Clint however did get you a seat on the Avengers. Natasha had written that you were dependable, adept, and a good team player. Clint had written that you adapted to situations with ease, stayed calm under pressure, and would trust his life in your hands. 
So, you walked into your new room in Stark tower that Tony had all to happily given to you. You had an entire floor to yourself. You couldn’t even begin to fathom how much money Tony had in his bank account right now if this didn’t leave a dent in his pocket. You sighed and fell face first into your new bed, forgetting your two duffle bags at the door. You groaned in delight as you rolled on the bed. 
A knock at your door had you snapping upright in embarrassment. You caught the smirk on Natasha’s lips before she glanced to her right and you saw Captain America, the Steve Rogers, standing in your doorway almost timidly. You smiled and made your way to them, holding a hand out to shake the Captain’s hand. 
“Rogers, y/n, y/n, Rogers.” Natasha said. 
You smiled shyly and then nodded behind them. “You both want to go to the living room, probably be more comfortable than here.” 
“From the sounds you made, I think your bed is quite comfy but sure.” Natasha said making you flush again. 
When all three of you settled in the living room you asked Steve the questions you had been dying to ask since he had awoken from his cryostasis. 
“What’s a new food you like that wasn’t around back then?” You asked, relaxing your body into the couch and setting an arm on the top of the couch while the other hung loose on your lap. Natasha and Steve sat on a couch adjacent to you. 
Steve pursed his lips and looked around the room in thought before you looked back at you and smiled. “Not a food per se but I didn’t realize there were so many ways to make coffee.” 
You raised your brows and looked at Natasha with jealousy, “You took him to Starbucks and left me out?” Natasha gave you a smile like a cat that caught their mouse. Steve chuckled. 
“It wasn’t anything too exciting you missed out on.” Steve said, smiling softly. 
“Oh I don’t know, Steve, Your face got pretty red when the barista asked you what you wanted and you couldn’t give her an answer for 5 minutes.” Natasha said, bringing her legs up under her on the couch across from you. Steve sputtered. “You didn’t tell me there would be over 20 choices when I’ve only known of black coffee with sugar!” 
You laughed with Natasha at an embarrassed Steve. 
“So?” You asked Steve who looked at you confused, “What did you order and did you like it?” 
Steve shook his head, smiling. “I ordered a white chocolate mocha frappuccino and it was amazing!” 
“Steve has a major sweet tooth.” Natasha quipped. Steve knocked his knee into Natasha’s. Hmmm not an unwelcome development you smelled but kept your queries about their relationship to yourself.  
“Has anyone shown you the internet yet?” You asked Steve.
“I know what Google is but that’s about it, haven’t really had the time to explore it more.”
As Steve said this an evil smirk grew on your lips, Natasha rolled her eyes at you but was smiling, Steve looked at you innocently. 
Things were great for a few weeks, the world was moving past the alien invasion and rebuilding New York City. Any time the Avengers stepped out of the tower they were bombarded with questions. Questions about the invasion, questions on if there would be more attacks, questions about how come they could parade about with no legal repercussions. The last question made you sit on edge but no one on the team answered it so you let it die out. 
Your days consisted of talking with the team (Bonding, as Steve liked to put it), embarrassing Steve, knocking Tony a few pegs down with your refined sarcasm, laughing with Clint and Natasha as you talked about old, botched missions. Even sparring together in an interactive training room Tony had made specific to each Avenger if you went in solo, and more general if you all trained as a team. The coolest thing about it was that the A.I. Tony imbedded in it would adapt to you so things never became too easy to handle.
Then Thor came back.
 Without Loki, of course. 
Thor took to you like icing to cake. You spent the first few days finding each other’s boundaries in humor and physicality but once you both got comfortable you were inseparable. He was like a brother you wished you had. Then the week passed and he asked the question he had been sent to ask. 
“Would it be alright if my brother, Loki, resided here until his banishment is revoked?”    
You held your breath as the room tunneled and all you could see was Thor. Loki would be coming here. He would be within touching distance. What would you both say to each other? Would he even grace you with a look, let alone a conversation? 
“Y/n?” Tony asked you, snapping you back to what was going on now, everyone had answered. Considering they knew Loki was brainwashed they all said yes, even Clint although his yes was a little strained.
“Yes.” You breathed out. Swallowing the lump in your throat at Thor’s smile. 
“You will love my brother, y/n, he has just your kind of humor, perhaps he could further your training on magic!” 
You forced out a laugh and smile.
“I bet he can, Big Guy.”

Astral Pt. 6 (Loki x Reader)
So this is a chapter without Loki, just the thought of Loki. I’m sorry but he’ll be back in the next chapter (i think):)
Tumblr media
You’re 19 and happy with where your life is at, at the moment. You sit up in bed, looking over your sparse room Shield provided. It held a few knick knacks from the times you had decided to get out and explore the world a bit. You had a snow globe from Paris and a few magnets stuck to your desk’s drawers from other minor towns you had been too in the U.S. Your favorite thing was a display case, that normally you put awards and trophies in, but instead of trophies you had glued bottle caps to it. You had made it a mission to drink a bottle cap soda in your favorite places, only you knew where each bottle cap came from. The case wasn’t even halfway full.
When you finally think of him you feel your heart tug a little and sigh. It’s been one and a half years since you’ve thought of the God. With everything around you shifting and getting use to a new routine you hadn’t really had the time to think of him at all. You missed him so much. Consciously you hadn’t thought of him but when you went to sleep at night you’d sometimes wake up to your face wet with tears after dreaming about his hurt face that day you left. You think about how he had reached for you. You push yourself to think he was wrong, Shield offered only good, but maybe that was just your way of justifying what you did to sleep better at night... 
Shield gave you a room on their new helicarrier. They gave you a room to practice your magic that also allowed them to run tests over the energy you used. They fed you and you earned money by becoming a technical analysis operative until Fury gave the ok for you to become a field agent. They offered you higher education but you decided to keep that on hold until you were completely ready for it. 
Shield gave you a whole life outside of your rancid family that you’d never have to see again. Once joining Shield, at your request, they wiped everything about your past life like you had never existed. The only way your parents or brother would know you actually did exist was through the ‘family’ photos they had scarce of. Your parents had reported you to the police as missing, Coulson had told you one day out of the blue, but there wasn’t a birth certificate or social security number they could pull up so they told your parents to leave, thinking it was a prank. 
You didn’t lose any sleep knowing your parents were freaking out about you being gone. You had told them about what your brother had done and your father, specifically, told you that you probably deserved it because you wouldn’t become a young woman on your own. When you told them about your grandfather all they did was tell you to shut up and that if you spoke to anyone about either instance they would make you regret being born. That your grandfather was in the right to kill your grandmother, she was out of line. Your mother had only physically abused you once but once was all it took, it was engraved in your mind forever. Both your parents were more emotionally and mentally abusive. So, you let them go without a second thought. You were still debating on if you’d even visit for their funerals. 
Getting up off the bed you got dressed. Loki came across your mind again. His smile, the way his face scrunched up in confusion when you told him of Earth’s conventions, the way he laughed when you fought his sarcasm with sarcasm of your own. You really missed your best friend. In a way you felt something more would have developed had you of stayed, or maybe that was just hopeful thinking since you were a hopeless romantic. 
As you slipped in a anti-sweat t-shirt and some jogging pants your thoughts lingered on Loki being romantic. How would Loki look at you if he had been in love? Would it be one of those soft looks on his face meant just for you or was he the type to hide his true feelings except in his eyes? Would he be a gentleman and pull your chair out for you, would he open the car door for you, would he occasionally bring you flowers from Asgard’s garden? No, he tended to show his affection through his concern and touch. There were so many possibilities though and then reality came crashing down on you. You would never know the answers to these questions. 
Unless...
You considered going to Loki, apologizing for leaving him but not for making the best decision of your life. What if he was still mad, he had told you to never come back if you left. Loki usually meant what he said and stayed true to his words and promises. Shaking your head, you decided you could never go back. 
Steeling your resolve, you made your way to the training room and gave a small wave to the lab where people constantly worked 24/7. The lab itself was hidden behind a metal wall, the only reason you could see the lab techs was because there was a small window they kept surveillance through. 
Today you were going to try something new. Something the lab tacticians wanted you to try. You stood in front of two people, a man and woman, that looked a little uncomfortable but they had consented to be here, signed the paperwork and everything. You were going to try and read their minds. If that passed and you mastered it, you were going to see if you could plant false memories or push your thoughts on them. It was fragile work considering you were breaching their minds but consent had been given on both ends, by consenting adults nonetheless. If you passed these tests, Fury, the head macho man that ran Shield (Director of Shield) said he would put you on the field with either Clint or Natasha, see if you could handle team work before he sent you off on your own.
And so, you tried your best.
