The begining
Darkness is all around you as you fight to find some sort of familiarity within your surroundings. Nothing. A hand shoots out and grasps your own, long slim fingers wrap around your wrist and pulls you towards its owner. Suddenly your body is pressed against his a vicious smirk creaps onto his lips and a chuckle escapes them “soon”.
You’re awoken by the suns light streaming in through your window it takes all your will power to get out of bed, Bucky is waiting to train with you in the training room and you’re already late. Fuck. Quickly you put on your training outfit, tight leggings with a stripe down each side with a tank top wore over your sports bra. Hoping he hasn't been waiting too long you sheepishly walk into the training room. “what’s your excuse this time Y/L/N” a mocking tone in his voice seemingly pointing out your constant late arrivals to your sessions.
“sorry, slept in” hoping he wouldn't be too mad with you sweeten your words with a nervous smile. Already used to your behaviour he lets it go.
“let’s see what you’ve got then” you were glad he had forgiven you, to be fair 6am was way too early for him to expect you to be up but it was the time he allocated for your sessions together and you were grateful for the time spent together. Bucky and you were fast friends after your move to the avengers compound after Tony took you in. He never took it easy on you though. The next two hours were filled with you getting knocked on your ass a few times but for the most part you could keep up with the super solider even besting him quite a few times, way more than usual but you were sure it was only because he let you. Noting the lack of spectators to your successes you ask him where the others were as it was unlike them to miss a morning workout.
“they’re out on a last minute mission, Loki was sighted on Earth and they were already out on their previous mission” nodding your head you recalled Steve telling you about how he, Thor, Tony, Nat, Wanda and Bucky were going out to take out a crime ring causing problems in Italy.
“weren’t you supposed to go with them Buck” you asked confused as to why he was the only one here.
“I’m injured” he replied pointing towards his leg, you had noticed him limping a bit but you thought nothing of it. “perhaps that's why you kept beating me today”.
“hah you wish” giving him a playful punch to the arm as you said it. “do you think they’ll catch Loki this time”
“I don’t know he has evaded us every single time we have go after him lately but the tip off to his location was pretty recent so I think they have a good chance” as if on cue F.R.I.D.A.Y informed you both that they had returned. With a prisoner.
You and Bucky went to meet the others at the Quinjet. Sam, Peter, Bruce and Vision met you there. As they left the jet your eyes darted around to catch a glimpse of the prisoner. One by one the avengers stepped off the jet leaving just Thor inside and that's when you see him. Loki. Immediately his green eyes pierce into your own before his gaze is pulled from you when Thor roughly pushes him off the jet. “clearly this has been some big misunderstanding I meant no trouble I was just popping in for a visit” the dark haired god spoke in a jovial manner as if he wasn't taking this seriously.
“shut up brother”
“take him to the cell” Tony huffed clearly exhausted from the double mission he has just undertaken. “everyone meet in the conference room in 5”. Various sounds of agreements erupted and everyone headed down to the meeting spot. You made you way over to Peter wondering what he thought about finally catching Loki, you knew he was mad about no going on the Italy mission and the excitement of tracking down Loki probably added to the anger.
“Morning Spidey” you offered him a smile which he copied lightly elbowing your side to show his disapproval at the nickname you had given him. “can you believe they got him?”
“Yep, I wish I had been there but no I had to focus on ‘organising our intergalactic contacts’ because that is very important and worth my time” His voice mocking Tony’s words when he told Peter he couldn't come on the mission. Tony meant well and was trying to improve Peters skill set or something, Peter didn't take being sidelined as a positive thing and had even fought with Tony because of the decision. “do you think we could sneak off before the meeting” his eyes firmly locked on your own only momentarily sneaking down to your lips.
“I’m sure we have a bit of time” you quickly pulled him into a nearby supply closet before he grabbed the back of your neck and lifted your head towards his face. The kiss was long and deep, your tongues fighting for dominance until he finally gave in. When you pulled away you both stared into each other’s eyes enjoying the feeling of being so close to someone you cared so much about. You both didn't like needing to hide your affections from the rest of the group but there is no way Tony would approve of you two and you weren’t a fan of having your personal life on display and if you came out as a couple there’s no way you could escape the onslaught of questions and comments. “I think we have to get to the meeting now” he huffed at your words before quickly giving you another peck and leading you out of the closet.
You and Peter are the last to enter the room, luckily no one seems to notice. You take your seats next to each other as Tony begins debriefing everyone on the latest mission. It’s mostly boring stuff so you don't pay much attention choosing instead to focus on the way Peter plays with his fingers while intensely focusing on Tony’s words, eventually he catches you staring and winks at you causing a chuckle to escape your lips. Tony turns to you clearly annoyed but before he can speak Peter erupts into laughter at the situation he has caused. Soon both of you are laughing while small laughs come from those around you and it takes a good few seconds for everyone to calm down. “now that we all have that out of our system can we please return to the task at hand, we have to work out what Loki’s intentions with earth are. I am going down there after this to question him, Thor and Y/N will accompany me” his words confused you, he had never selected you for such an important task before he probably wants to give you a lecture about taking meetings seriously as this was not the first meeting you and Peter had interrupted. When Tony was down he dismissed everyone leaving just you and Thor in the room with him. “Now you two this is a sensitive task so Thor don’t let him get on your nerves we have to figure out his plan”
“you clearly have never met my brother before he is ALWAYS on my nerves-“
“just don't punch him out or something okay” Thor had to think for a moment before finally agreeing.
“fine” He didn't seem to convinced by his own words. Tony turned to you, his eyes studying you for a moment.
“Now Y/N this is a new experience for you but I hope to begin improving your interrogation skills” you nod at him as he gestures for all of you to make your way to the cell Loki is being held in. You had rarely been to this section of the compound and it seemed that they had built this cells just to house the god. As you approach Loki he turns to face all of you, he stands up tall sharing a calm calculating exterior with the world. His dark hair frames his face as he glares at all of you before his face breaks into a sly smile. The cell he is in was in the middle of a massive wide open room, the walls of the cell seemed to be made of some sort of glass with a purple force field encasing the entire cube.
“welcome visitors to my cage, unfortunately I do not have any tea to offer you” he looks as though he has to keep himself from laughing at his own joke, he looks at you and you try to maintain your composure trying not to looks scared of the murderous god in front of you. “don't be scared darling I doubt I could harm you through this cage Tony has built, he seems to have been able to make it impossible for me to use my magic, which was very rude of him” when he addresses you his tone is almost comforting but it becomes sour as he turns to Tony
“Leave her alone, you know why you are here Loki, why did come to earth, what are you plans” Tony’s voice is calm and without emotion as he stares down the caged man. Loki pondered for a few moments before finally seeming to come to a decision.
“so many questions, why should I answer any of your questions when all you have done for me is beat me up and lock me in this god awful room” Loki scanned
“Brother if you do not give us the answers we seek I promise you that you will rot in here”
“how rude of you, well then I guess you give me no choice, I will reveal my plans to you on one condition” he turned to Tony knowing he would get nowhere bargaining with his brother.
“what do you want Loki” Tony asked him knowing his response would be something Tony would not give him.
“I will tell you my plans, but, I will only talk to her”. His voice echoed through the room, Tony turned to leave the room with you and Thor following only hearing Loki’s voice as you all left.
“I will be waiting here for you darling” his voice sent a shiver down your spine and you felt Tony usher you and Thor into a small meeting room just outside. Filled with a desire to make Tony see you as something other than a little girl you began to speak.
“I can do it Mr Stark, I’ll get the information from him, trust me” his face drops at your words he breathes out before he replies.
“I know you can and it’s not that I don't trust you, it just I don't trust him he is dangerous and manipulative”
“Stark is right Y/N he will say anything to get you on his side he can get inside on anyone’s head” Thor’s warning fell on deaf ears as you had already decided you were going to do it.
“this may be the only chance we have to find out Loki’s plan, and I know what I’m doing I can handle it” Tony has to think about it for a second before he seems to agree.
“you’re right, just please, be careful”
“I will” you make your way out of the room leaving Tony and Thor in the room alone. As you approach the cell you see Loki’s eyes light up and a smile appears on his face.
“I was sure Daddy Stark wasn’t going to let you come speak to me” his teasing words bounced off you as you prepared yourself for his attempts to get inside your head. you were not too keen on speaking to him but you wanted to prove your worth to the team and securing this information would be a big help.
“why did you come to earth” you tried to sound as intimidating as possible hiding all your fear at the current situation.
“wow no pleasantries? not even a hello? I’m hurt” his tone full of sarcasm as he tried to gage your reaction.
“you know why I’m here, it’s just me that’s what you wanted, now tell me why you’re here” his face hardened as he spoke turning to a terrifying glare that pierced through your soul.
“where’s the fun it that doll, now tell me something, why did Stark take you in, what is your purpose here?” his words seems to break right through you, with each word he stared you down with more intensity and it was beginning to frighten you”
“I-uh i, we aren’t here to talk about me” you managed to break free of his stare as you attempted to regain control of the conversation “now you are going to tell me what you are doing here on earth or you will stay down here for a very long time” you tried your best to sound threatening but it wasn’t working.
“hmm I don’t think so I haven’t even had my fun with you yet” his words would have terrified you if Tony hadn’t come out from the room he was in to rescue you from your pathetic attempt at an interrogation, luckily he wouldn’t have been able to hear most of it from the room he and Thor were in.
“thats enough, let’s leave him here for a bit and pick this up tomorrow” Tony left the room first leaving you alone with Loki as you collected your thoughts and started to leave the room. you looked at him one last time and watched as he opened his mouth to speak.
“I’ll see you tonight Y/N”
