Chapter 10
We woke up around noon the next day and hastily dressed, him in a tight black pair of pants and a black wife beater and a pair of black combats boots that I knew not where he got, but had me damn near drooling when he walked out of the bathroom after showering. I chose to wear a pair of jeans and one of his green shirts and my normal black boots taking Loki completely by surprise as I wrapped my arms around his waist and kissed him between the shoulder blades earning a soft moan from him as he turned and wrapped his arms around me smelling of his soap, which was a bottle of Noir from Bath and Body Works that I'd given him for Christmas when I first met him.
"Mmm." I sighed as I inhaled and nuzzled into him. He chuckled and leaned down a bit to kiss me softly on the lips and whispered with his lips still on mine, "We need to go eat and if you keep moaning like that we'll never leave my room." I pulled back a little and looked up at him smirking and said seductively, "Do you want to eat me, Loki?" He grinned evilly and pulled me against him hard and I moaned louder as he whispered in my ear, "I want to devour you whole, kitten. But now is not the time." I giggled as we made our way out the door and down the hall. Just as we were turning into the banquet hall, he slipped his arm around my shoulder and leaned down and gave me a slow, lustful kiss that left me breathless and blushing.
I looked up when I heard Bucky, Steve, Sam and Tony start wolf whistling with a shit eating grin on my face and made my way over to them. "Moooorning." Tony and Bucky said winking at me as Steve laughed himself to tears beside them. Clint looked as though he wanted to simply not acknowledge that he knew that his adopted daughter had spent the night with the man that had once controlled his mind, Bruce and Vision weren't even paying attention and were wrapped up in a conversation about something scientific, Peter and Pietro were both wolfing their food down but were glancing up at me with grins to match my own and Wanda and Nat were immediately at my side as soon as I made it to the table.
"So?" They both chorused and I burst into a giggling fit and said, "I'm not going to kiss and tell." They both groaned and rolled their eyes as Sif came up behind us and said, "Oh don't worry girls, she'll tell us eventually. Trust me from the screams we heard last night that was her first time and-" She stopped short causing all of us girls to turn around and look at her but she was looking over her shoulder at none other than Loki. "If you wish to know what happened then I, myself, will be more than happy to tell you all how I ravaged my soon to be wife all night last night." He said loud enough for the entire team to hear and the effect that simple sentence had was instantaneous. Clint, Bucky, Steve, Sam, Tony, Peter and Pietro choked on what they had in their mouths, Bruce and Vision finally looked up from their in depth conversation both wearing utterly confused expressions on their faces, and Nat, Wanda, Sif, and I all collapsed against each other laughing hysterically.
"I'm sorry, she's your WHAT?!" Clint managed to gasp once he'd stopped coughing which did nothing to help the rest of us as we all began laughing harder at the expression on his face. "Well, I was going to wait until this evening at dinner but it seems that the two that I need to ask for this lovely young woman's hand are both here so why wait?" He said simply as he threw an arm around me as I hiccuped myself back to composure and he looked at Nat and Clint. Suddenly, the banquet hall was far too quiet as all eyes fell on Loki and I. I chewed my lip as Nat walked over to Clint and they began having a conversation in sign language and jumped a bit when I felt my lip being tugged from between my teeth and looked up to see Loki frowning slightly and heard him whisper in my head,
"Don't bite your lip like that, my goddess." After fifteen of the longest minutes of my life, Nat coughed as I began biting my nails and I looked up quickly to find her and Clint looking at me with unreadable faces. They stayed like that for several moments until Peter yelled, "FOR FUCK'S SAKE WOULD YOU GIVE US AN ANSWER I'M DYING OVER HERE!" This sentence was followed by everyone closest to him turning around and yelling, "LANGUAGE!" and then Steve screaming as tears of pride streamed down his face, "MY BABIES!" We finally all calmed down and Nat walked over and slung her arm around me and whispered in my ear, "Two conditions. Wanda and I get to be in the wedding as bride's maids and we also get to help you pick out lingerie for your wedding night."
I looked at her, another shit eating grin spreading on my face and then looked to Clint who was looking to the ceiling with a "Lord, give me strength." look on his face and I screamed and tackled them both to the ground as the rest of the team burst into cheers around us. Thor clapped Loki on the back as they both beamed at each other, Pietro, Bruce, Vision and Wanda all had their arms around each other laughing at Clint, Nat and I who were currently on the ground, Bucky, Steve, Tony, and Sam were all laughing hysterically as Clint tried to extract himself from Nat and I who were now taking turns giving him kisses on both cheeks as he screamed, "OK! OK! I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE HAPPY! IF I GO HOME WITH LIPSTICK STAINS ALL OVER ME LAURA WILL KILL ME ON SIGHT!"
Frigga and Sif came running over to see what all the commotion was about as I stood up and helped Nat and Clint up and I said, "My father and sister gave their blessings for Loki to marry me." More screams rang out as they tackled me into Loki and we all went sprawling against the wall as Thor dodged out of the way just as Odin came walking over laughing at all of us.
"Oh, but this is excellent! You must tell us what your favorite season is so you can get married here in Asgard!" Frigga cried. "And if you think that Natasha, Wanda and I aren't going to be the ones helping you plan all of this then you and I are going to have a chat in the practice yard, young lady." Sif said helping me back up as I looked over my shoulder with a mock look of horror at Loki who simply held up his hands in surrender. "My love, I learned long ago it is far simpler to just let them do as they please than try to argue with them. Otherwise, you'll end up yelling yourself hoarse and then still end up doing what they want." He said smiling at me as he wrapped his arms around me and lifted me up and twirled us both around as I laughed and tilted my head back.
I looked over at Nat and Clint and saw that they were both smiling happily watching Loki and I together. But the happiness was cut short as an explosion of deep red smoke erupted from between Loki and I and I was thrown backwards into the nearest pillar screaming. "How is there to be a wedding if there's no bride?" An awful cold voice sneered from within the smoke. Loki ran for the smoke his eyes flashing darkly but before he could reach it Thor and Odin both grabbed him with one hand each and slammed him into the wall behind them as the tendrils of darkness began creeping towards me. "Please I have to help her, I have to SAVE HER!" Loki screamed as he looked over at me. Stars swam before my eyes and it took me a few minutes before I realized that the voice belonged to Sigyn and that she must be using some sort of dark magic in order to make her way back into Asgard but then I realized that she'd been stripped of all of her magic.
Before I could manage to move from where I was or scream that this wasn't Sigyn, a tendril of dark red smoke shot out from the cloud and wrapped itself around my leg and I screamed in agony as soon as it touched me. White hot pain seared through my body and I convulsed as I was drug towards the cloud and I heard Loki who was being restrained by his father and brother scream, "SIGYN ENOUGH!" The voice laughed at his desperate, terrified scream and only drug me slower so as to prolong the torture that he was being forced to watch. "Stupid, foolish boy. I am not your former lover, although she is here with me. No I am someone far more terrible than the pathetic little mewling quim you once called your love, Loki. Although it does humor me greatly to see Odin, son of Bor, squirming there like a chastened child for the whole of Asgard to see. Tell them, Odin Borsson, who I truly am or I will do it for you." The feminine voice growled as the tendril continued to slowly drag me towards the dark red cloud as I screamed and cried as the pain in my leg grew the closer I got to the cloud.
Odin, white faced and shaking, managed to say one word before the entire hall erupted into chaos. "Hela." He whispered hoarsely but still loud enough for all to hear. Frigga and Sif screamed and immediately dove for me, Thor and Loki and the Avengers looked confused but Nat, Wanda, Steve and Bucky all joined the two hysterical women to try and pull me away from the dark cloud that was now such a deep red that it was almost black.
The rest of the Avengers took a collective step back and the Warriors Three burst in just in time to see the ones holding me get thrown in all directions as I was drug fast into the cloud screaming at the top of my lungs for Loki who was screaming just as loudly for his brother and father to let him go so he could save me.
