Okey, first avenger fanfiction! I love criticism that can help me getter better, probably have a few spelling mistakes and the characters might be a bit out of character, but I'll try as best as I can. Well R&R!
It had gone two weeks since Loki tried to take over the world in New York. During that time the Stark tower where rebuilt and I felt more at home for every day. Loki had to help rebuild the city and then join the Avengers who I had joined as well. Currently I were seated beside Steve who I looked at as an older brother and Bruce who I spend most of my time talking to. Natasha and Clint were seated in another couch in the big room, talking to each other, and Loki together with Thor where in the opposite sofa from Natasha. The screen were showing a documentary about second world war and the nazis work, Steve were like glued to the screen, me? Not so much. Just a moment later Tony came in to the room holding a big box and a grin matching it. Before anyone could complain he turned the television off and opened the package. Oh my, it was a Playstation 4! I had to keep myself under control not to bounce up and down in my seat. Steve, Loki and Thor didn't seem to understand what it where, but how could they? The rest of us were more wondering what stupid idea had popped in to the millionaires head.
''I got Just Dance 2016, and we are gonna dance like crazy, no one are allowed to say no!'' Tony said with a smirk, mostly looking at me and Natasha. I gave out a sigh and rolled my eyes and Natasha just looked at Tony with all humor gone from her face.
''I don't dance without alcohol'' Clint said with a small smile of his own.
''Well that could be fixed'' Tony said and pointed towards his collection of expensive brands. Clint's smile disappeared but he didn't leave his place in the sofa beside Natasha. I gave Natasha a small nod and we both went up at the same time and went toward the door out of this room.
''And where are you going?'' Tony said. I turned around smiling.
''Well we need to change if we are gonna dance'' I said with an innocent smile and where dragged out of the room by Natasha.
''Well I don't mind dancing'' I said. ''Could be fun, after all, we could make some fun out of it!'' I said and Natasha gave me a short smile before we went in to my room. I picked up a sport-bra and put it on. Natasha already had one on her since she were suppose to train with me later but this had to do. A bad idea formed in my head and I knew I would regret it later but I couldn't help myself. I slowly turned towards Natasha with a wolf grin on my face that Natasha in response just raised her eyebrow.
''Let's dance in this'' I said as I took out my really short shorts, those I had on the beach that barley covered my behind.
''I should have killed you when I had the chance'' Natasha said with a cold voice but I could see the humor in her eyes. I would never forget the day I joined the avengers.
Pain was the first thing to register in my head as I slowly lifted it from the dirty floor. The little window to my right told me it was either pretty early or pretty late. With a lot of effort I sat up and pushed myself upright with the help of the wall. I could hear screaming down the hall and yet it didn't bother me anymore. When I first came here it made me feel sick, I had hated that sound, wanted it to stop, now it just showed me I were not dead or deaf. The could from the ground made itself aware and I shuddered, the only thing I had where a blanket and the underwear I had on me. I slowly took the dirty blanket and pulled it around my shoulders. The pain in my head were slowly making my vision blurry or where it the lack of water and food? I refused to linger on it as I knew it made me hungry so I turned my focus on the sound to have something to do then be alone with my taught and...it were silent. No more screaming, where the doctor already done?
Then I heard it, the voice of a woman speaking to low for me to make out words. I tensed and pushed myself more to the wall as a pair of green eyes locked with mine. The gun she held firm in her hand and I knew right away she where here to destroy this base and all in it. Not that I cared, not at this point, so I dropped the blanket and stood still, my eyes not leaving hers.
''If you gonna kill me just do it, and don't miss'' I said calmly. Oddly enough she seamed to battle with herself and then lowered her gun. Before I could say something she opened her mouth and...
''Eviana are you listening to me?!'' Natasha's voice and her hands shaking my made me come back.
''No, sorry, lost in my own taught'' I said and blushed. She rolled her eyes and looked at me with serious eyes.
''If you go dressed like that you will give Tony something to take photos of and harass you for, Steve will be blushing and have a hard time looking at you and besides, this is not the time to look like that'' Natasha said and I nodded, instead put on the pants I used for workout and the tee shirt. Natasha put on outfit similar to mine but I had a red shirt instead of a black one, but it wasn't for nothing she were called 'Black Widow'. We made it back down to the other who were now waiting, Tony had made everyone agree after promising he wouldn't shut up otherwise.
''So how do we do this?'' I said and Tony smiled. ''Well, I will drag two names from a bowl, those two will dance and then I will take two new names, and keep going like that. And I will also have another bowl with all the songs in, so you know what you will dance to!'' Tony said and I just looked at Natasha with knowing eyes but I knew this could be fun.
Tony moved everything out of the way so two people could dance, explained how to do it that took longer time due to Thor not understanding. But after showing it was just to follow the character and do as they did, and you could see how to move in the right corner, all was set to go. I on the other hand still tried to understand how I could be dragged in to this. Tony almost danced across the floor and he took two names out first.
''Bruce and Clint!'' he said far to happy but they did rise up even if Bruce looked like he would rather be somewhere else. Clint on the other hand looked relaxed and a bit exited. I couldn't help but smile.
''What happened to not dancing sober?'' I said and it gave a few chuckles around the room. Clint on the other hand just smiled and looked back at the screen as Tony took another note.
''Let's groove!'' he said like it were really important. I had to admit it was pretty funny watching them dance and see them trying to follow the moves. It were more then a few laughs and photos taken with help from J.A.R.V.I.S who recorded everything after Tony asking him to do so. Next where Natasha and Thor with the song uptown funk followed by Tony and Steve to the song I gotta feeling. And that made me and Loki the only one who had not yet danced. I didn't care anymore, it was just a fun thing so I did stand up and so did Loki even if he looked rather irritated at this. I just looked over at Tony as he shuffled trough the bowl before picking a song.
''You're the one that I want!'' he said and I felt my heart rate increase before I calmed myself down. I stilled blushed as I got myself ready. Loki didn't complain at all as I touched him, no, he seamed to enjoy this. And when the last of the song came he more then happy picked me up as I put my legs around his waist. I could see Steve blush and look away, the same for Bruce. Clint and Tony where grinning like idiots, Natasha just were shaking her head and Thor where stomping his foot down in the beat of the song.
I were a bit relieved when the song ended and they all applaud, okay we had given all the one dancing an applaud but it still were somewhat wrong.
''Okay the next up to dance is...'' Tony started just to be silenced by Jarvis. ''Sorry to interrupt sir but Agent Coulson wants to come in''
I had always loved Jarvis voice, the english accent and his way to talk, and I knew that Tony created him that way but it still felt like talking to a person. Tony just nodded and soon agent Coulson walked in to the room.
''Sorry to interrupt your..''He said as he looked over to the screen. ''..dancing'' he finished without changing his face. His eyes darted over everyone and stopped at me.
''If I could just have a quick word with you Eviana'' he said and I nodded to follow him out. He stopped outside the door and turned towards me with a serious face.
''Gabriel escaped'' he said as I took in a sharp breath. ''And children are going missing from the streets, we have found two bodies, having the same liquid you have in your veins inside of them'' Phil said and he actually got a sad face. My world stopped spinning, they where back, they did the same torturing I had gone trough during years. ''And they are after you'' he said and I took a step back in alarm. My anger spiked and I looked him in the eyes, knowing it was not his fault, but he was the only one close to take out my anger on.
''You said Gabriel could never escape!'' I screamed, anger and fear showing in my voice. ''You said that if I helped you capture him I would never be in danger, that they would stop searching, so how the fuck is he loose?'' I screamed and took a step back when Phil tried touching me. My anger died as fear took over and pain, I could feel the pain when they did all the experiments, during all the months, trying to make the perfect serum.
''You were suppose to keep me safe!'' I said and the hurt in my voice made Phil flinch ever so slightly. Before I could react more or Phil could talk the door opened to reveal Tony. Jarvis. Fuck, I didn't tell Jarvis to not show our conversation, so probably all in the room had seen it. My eyes were hurting from the tears I refused to let fall and Phil gave a small sigh at Tony.
''Eviana, I'm really sorry. I trusted the wrong guys, they helped him escape, and we don't know where they are but we will find them, and nothing will happen to you, I swear. We will keep you safe and I don't think they know you are here'' he said. I just went in to the room where the rest of the avenger where seated and looked slightly guilty making me aware that they had seen all. None of the avengers knew everything except Natasha since I did owe her my life, the rest knew the big picture, so all Phil said they already knew, except the part about Gabriel escaping. Phil went after me in to the room with Tony coming in after him, in my anger and sadness I curled in to a ball in the sofa between Bruce and Steve. Steve gently dragged me to his side and Bruce were touching my cheek in a calming way. They where like to big brother trying to protect me.
''Like I said we will do everything we can, Nick Fury already have putted the best on the job'' Phil said like it would calm me down.
''And we are here as well, we will not let anyone touch or hurt you'' Natasha said, her eyes showing hatred and I smiled a short smile.
I don't know how I did know but when the phone started to buzz in my pocket I went frozen before I did pick the phone up and looked at the screen. 'Secret' where showing and I closed my eyes praying for me to keep my voice under control, I wouldn't let them hear my fear.
''Jarvis, make sure to track this call and make it on speaker so we all can hear'' Tony said. I answered with a shaking hand, damn it, pull yourself together. The man in the phone didn't need to talk to make my breathing almost stop and make me froze in place, my eyes watered by the fear and my heart where trying to break free from it's hold inside my ribcage.
''Hello experiment 234, I hope you have a pleasant time, after all, it's about time I reclaim what is mine'' the voice belonging to no other then Gabriel himself. My fear where put aside when my anger took over.
''I'm not your's to claim'' I said, my voice dripping with poison. He laughed, a touting laugh and then it clicked what he was doing except making me get nightmares. I reached for the phone when he started talking.
''I will see you soon, after all, we are not done with you just yet, you know why you where created, and I will use you to create my army. And you are very pretty so perhaps in the future we could have perfect children running around'' he said and those words made me gag. ''But let's just focus on getting you here shall we? Sooner or later you will show yourself and then you will be mine'' he said laughing as I turned the phone off.
I where breathing fast and Bruce seamed to realize the problem sooner then the others. I rose from the sofa, started to walk forward and back while mumbling to myself to try to keep the other voice in my head from taking over. I felt my eyes turn to a dark red colour before I clenched my fist. All the glass in the cabinet to my right broke, raining down on the ground and my anger made me move my hands, moving the glass. Bruce jumped up from his place and looked at me with his brown, calming eyes.
''Eviana, deep breath'' he said and I kept my eyes focused on him, taking deep breath before I felt the tears run down my cheeks. I hated to cry, even more so in front of others, but I knew how good they where and how they could keep me under control. I didn't care when I fell down on my knees in the glass, the pain barley registered in my mind when the glass went trough my skin. All I could think of where the sounds of Gabriel's laugh, the pain from the serum and my fear. I felt Bruce lift me up and I hid my face in his shoulder, I just looked up a few seconds to look around the room.
Steve looked disgusted, probably due to the things Gabriel said. Natasha looked ready to kill and so did Clint. Thor looked angry and protective, Loki didn't move a muscle in his face but the tension from him shoved he where ready to kill them as well. Tony looked angry, disgusted and then he went for the door. Phil looked like he where the one responsible, like a kicked puppy, and I felt bad for him. I soon got my breathing under control and Bruce put me down beside him to take out the glass. Loki healed my wounds without a second word or glance, I could heal myself, not as fast as Loki and it did drain me, but I were training on it. I gently looked up at Phil who where turning to leave.
''Phil, sit down'' I said and he looked over at me but did sit down, it looked like he were expecting me to beat him senseless, yell at him or make sure to tell him what he did wrong. Once he where seated I gently looked at him with a soft smile tugging at my lips.
''I trust you when you say nothing will happen to me and that you will find Gabriel and the rest. It's not your fault, we all make bad choices, just look at Tony, he do them all the time'' I joked. A small smile tugged at Phil's lips for a second and I leaned forward and hugged him to show him what I meant. Phil nodded before he rose and left the building to go back to SHIELD's headquarter.
As soon as he had left the room I rose from my seat in the sofa to start cleaning up the mess I made but I didn't get more then one meter from it when Loki sighed, used his magic and cleared it away. I gave Steve a look and he rose, following me to my room, when I first came here three weeks before Loki attacking, I had nightmares all the time. I would wake up screaming and sweating and having panic. Sometimes the other side of me would show. But as long as Steve or someone else stayed with me I felt calmer, went to sleep faster and if I got a nightmare they would be there to calm me down. I knew that only children slept with other due to nightmares, or if you asked me it where like that, but nobody made fun of me and nobody complained. I went in to the bathroom, made myself ready for bed before entering my bedroom. Steve where lying on the other side of the bed in his boxers. First time he slept like that he where were uncomfortable, blushing so much that tomatoes would be jealous, but after explaining a more how it where these day compared to the day he where young, he where relaxed when I saw him in them. I had to admit he where really eye candy but he where more like my big brother. I slowly teach him more about today to make him fit in more, took him away to do things, looked on movies with him etc, being his teacher to the 21 century. Sometimes Thor and Loki would join, more often Thor then Loki, not that I complained.
I pulled the cover over us and put my head on Steve's chest, breathing in his calming scent and listening to his slow, beating heart. I don't know how long it took but I where soon sleeping with bad dreams following me. I woke up, I where sweating, my heart where racing faster than a racing horse but I ignored it and made it out of bed. Steve where sleeping deep beside me. I went out of my room, down the halls and in to the kitchen where I took a glass of water. Since Tony where Tony a room where to small for him so we all had our own floor. I just rolled my eyes as I went down in the lab and I were very surprised to see it bee empty, no Bruce and no Tony loosing sleep. They where both good on forgetting to eat and to sleep, therefor me and Pepper where the one telling them to quit when they needed sleep and food. I would guess Pepper where together with Tony at the moment.
''Jarvis darling, would you please locate Mr. Stark'' I said calmly. The AI where not slow to help her with her request.
''He is in his room sleeping together with Pepper, want me to wake him up?'' he asked and I shook my head.
''No that will not be needed thank you'' I said calmly. I gently went further in to the lab and looked at all the things. I where pretty good on making things when it came to liquids, new formulas, changing stuff like that, but not build like Jarvis or iron man suits. I went to the computer and started it.
''Jarvis would you show me the results on Bruce research on the hulk?'' I said with a sweet voice. ''I don't think Banner would like..'' he started but I just gave a sigh. ''I have been talking with him and know the most, if he will get angry he can take out on me, please Jarvis open it'' I said and the AI did what I asked.
I opened the files, looking trough it until I found the blood test done and I started reading, I started writing, looking in to it. Slowly I started to get my head around it, putting two and two together. I smiled when things where going the right way, I started writing down the formula, it would not change him back from having the hulk but if my theories where correct, it would stop the hulk from taking over Bruce. Well it would be harder for the Hulk, but the mind is a powerful things, so if Bruce really wanted to turn in to the hulk he would be able to.
''Jarvis, do we have all of this ingredients at home?'' I said. ''Let me look'' the AI said. ''Yes looks like we do'' Jarvis said half a minute later. Then I knew what I could do, and I could show this to Bruce. My eyes started to get heavy, I knew I had not slept more then three hours. I still kept trying to keep myself awake when I felt everything around go black.
I woke up to someone touching my shoulder and my eyes flew open to reveal Bruce face in my line of sight. I relaxed and calmed myself down before hurting him. He looked worried as I sat up.
''Are you alright? What are you doing down here? Steve where worried when he woke up and couldn't find you'' he said and I looked sheepish at the floor blushing.
''I woke up from a nightmare, I didn't want to wake Steve up, so I went down here to try and help you since you have helped me so much. And to be honest I think I found a way to suppress the hulk for a shorter period of time. And yes, I'm fine'' I said and Bruce relaxed, he was not even mad at me for looking at his blood test.
''Well what we both need now is breakfast, come on'' he said and helped me off the floor. Ouch, my body where sore from sleeping on the floor, not that I would admit it out loud, after all, I were only 23 years old, soon to be 24. My stomach rumbled quietly when the smell of breakfast reached my nose, it smelled wonderful. Before I could react two strong arms pressed me to a muscular chest that could only belong to Steve. I gently hugged him back and he looked me over before relaxing.
''I'm alright don't worry, I'm sorry I went away, but I'm not gonna do something stupid like running of on my own, I really don't wanna be captured'' I said calmly and Steve seamed happy by those words. Only time I would give myself away would be to save any of them, after all they had all done so much for me, well except Loki, but he where slowly getting better on it.
''Loki?'' I said calmly as he entered the room. The asgardian prince turned to look at me and just nodded slowly. ''I need to run a few errands downtown, would you like to follow?'' I said and he just snorted.
''I'm not a babysitter'' he said calmly. I just gave him a small smile and my eyes turned to red.
''I don't need a babysitter'' I said with calm voice and he looked in to my red ones before rolling his eyes. ''Fine I follow but I will not carry your stuff not will I pay for it'' he said simply and I smiled.
''What that so hard?'' I said and Loki ignored me. All where assembled during breakfast before I excused myself so I could freshen up and leave the Stark tower together with Loki.
It went rather fast picking everything, less then two hours, and Loki seamed happy at that fact, me on the other hand didn't mind shopping even taught I liked other things better. I even decided to buy Loki lunch and he didn't say no to that. We found ourself a small Chinese restaurant and ate mostly during silence, a few time me or Loki would ask something. That's when I felt the eyes on me and tensed. I knew someone where watching us, Loki might have felt the same way but even if he did he refuse to show it. I paid for everything and left the shop when I saw this man leaving the table behind us.
''We are being followed'' I said and Loki didn't glance back. ''I know'' he said trough gritted teeth. Then it all clicked in place and I gave out a small squeak and my knees almost buckled under me.
''I'm so stupid'' I muttered as Loki took a steadying grip around my arm before he let go of me again. ''Gabriel didn't call to scare me, well he might have it as a bonus, no he where tracking my phone. Since the call was not to long he could only have tracked it to this part of New York city, but we can't let this man follow us to the tower, he would know'' I said as Loki nodded.
''I have an idea that might work'' I said and this time my voice were a bit weak and scared. ''If they have more following us we might be a bit doomed'' I said and Loki rolled his eyes. ''Don't be so over dramatic, remember you are walking down a busy street with a sexy looking god, the good of mischief'' he said and now I rolled my eyes. We were walking toward the tower, getting away from the more busy streets and before the poor man could react a lamppost fell down in front of him, slowing him down, fast enough for me to turn in on an alley and go another way to the tower. As we entered I were sure he had lost us. I dragged Loki to my room and he didn't stop me. I put the bags on the floor and I were pacing forward and back.
''Calm down'' Loki said and I stopped pacing and looked at him.
''I cant believe they found me. They will sooner or later find out I'm here. I should call Phil right? Let him know what happened and then leave. And you are in danger in case they found out you are my friends. Cause they will use you against me, make me come forward and surrender myself, cause I would do it...'' I said. I started to have panic, my breathing was short, my heart where beating fast, my eyes were dilated and my mind where foggy with all my ideas and scenarios as I closed my eyes. Nothing I had faced in my life, not even Loki and his army, made me like this. Not even if a random guy put a gun against my head, but it would be enough for Gabriel to send a selfie to me and I would freak out, and probably let the other side of me loose.
Before I could start jabber again I felt something soft on my lips. I slowly opened my lips to find Loki in front of me, his lips pressing against mine. They where softer then expected, tracing the line of my lips perfectly, as one arm locked around my lower back and pushed me flush against him. The other hand he dragged trough my hair. I put my arms around his neck and looked in to his perfect, green eyes. His skilled tongue brushed my lower lip, asking for permission, which I gladly gave him. Now I knew why he was called silver tongue. His pink flesh danced with mine, he guided himself skillfully trough my mouth, discovering everything. He tasted sweet and Loki, a perfect mix, and he started to push me back toward the bed. He guided himself over me, taking his weight on his arm, only touching my sides, my face and my hair. This where very calming and I didn't want him to stop. I gave out a small moan of pleasure and I could feel Loki smile against my lips. All to soon, if you asked me, he raised from the bed.
''Are you calm now? I won't let anyone hurt you cause you mean to much for that'' he said and it seamed hard for him to say those words, but after all, Loki where not the one to show feelings for earthlings.
''Is that why you kissed me? To make me calm?'' I said and a slight pain stabbed my heart. Loki smiled ever so slightly.
''Yes and no. Yes to make you calm down and stop talking, no, not only that, I wanted to try how you tasted and felt'' he said and I blushed like furious. He looked at me with those green eyes and smiled slowly.
''And I think I will to it again, when I want, where I want, cause you liked it, and I enjoyed it, beside you have been looking at me since day one'' he said and to that I only looked down in the floor. He lifted my face and kissed my lips softly.
''Don't worry, it will not make it awkward between us, besides, I would like to get to know you more, be able to protect you, don't ask me why cause I don't know, and it's not that you are a team member and the other counts on it. No, I want to, and I'm dragged to you by a force I can't explain, if you don't want it tell me'' he said and rose to leave the room. He opened the door and walked out.
''I want you to Loki'' I said. He didn't turn but he smiled ever so slightly and I smiled to. Finally something good in all this bad.
Before I would forget I told Jarvis to tell everyone what had happened and I called Phil. He where the one sounding guilty and I once again told him all was fine. Tony showed up in the room later that evening and told me it was movie night. I knew it was to share us all up so I didn't say no. There where a lot of snacks, alcohol of course, and the movie where 'Alice in wonderland' the one with Johnny Depp. Natasha and Clint where seated beside each other, all knew they where a couple, but they rarely showed it outside the tower for safety. Bruce and Steve were beside each other, Tony had Pepper beside him, and I were seated between Loki and Thor. By the end of the movie I crawled in to Loki's lap and putted my head to his shoulder. I got a few glances but no one said anything or gave me a bad look, no, all where pretty calm with it and even approving even if Bruce and Steve gave Loki a warning glance, one that said no messing around with her feelings. To that calm I fell asleep in Loki's arms.
