Loki was a god. Not only that, but he was a god of illusion and charm magic and Wanda knew this all to well. He watched her with gleaming blue eyes "care to let me go?" He asked. She blinked and released his wrists, allowing him off the wall "what are you doing here Trickster?" She spat "don't you have a mind not to show your face on earth?" Loki grinned "oh, so you've about me? Can't say I'm surprised" he smiled. It was kind and warm, almost friendly- "stop it" she said, looking away. Loki raised an eyebrow "stop what?" He said innocently. Wanda glared "stop trying to charm me, you did it when you came in, don't think I didn't notice".
Loki laughed. It almost sounded geniuin. In fact it might of been but Wanda didn't take any chances and blocked out the bright sound "your perceptive, what's your name?" He asked, narrowing his eyes. Wanda stiffened then slapped him "stay out of my head!" She hissed at him and earned anouther childish laugh "temper" he said aloud "magic made for illusions, manipulation..." he leaned forward "tricks". Wanda clenched her fist "what do you want Trickster?" She hissed. He looked at her smugly "well, I did want to kidnap you and play a game of his and go seek but..." he paused and looked at her strangely "Wanda, what did you do to me?" She froze "h-h-how did you know my na-" "answer me!" He yelled and grabbed her shoulders "what have you done to my head?!" Wanda shuddered. His fingers were so cold they seeped through her clothes "let go" she warned. He growled "answer. my. question".
Wanda was still for a moment. Then, her hand shot to his head and she watched his face go tense. She felt his grip loosen and his eyes went glassy. He began to shudder and fell to his knees, his face completely blank "Trickster?" She said. This was not what usually happened when she showed people their fears. They would cry, run, scream, something that showed emotion. But Loki just stayed there, on both knees with his head bowed. Like a dog. She pulled out her phone and called Steve who had Thor and Tony come and pick him up.
It was strange, waking up from something you would usually do to others. Blinking away magic so close to your own, Loki took on his surroundings. He almost laughed. He was back inside a glass prison, with no doors that he could see. What he could see, was very familiar faces watching him.
Tony looked mildly interested
Banner looked on edge
Natasha looked angry
Clint looked vengeful
Thor looked disappointed
Wanda looked pale
Steve looked worried
Sam looked like he was in denial
And he saw a new face, a man with a metal arm who looked very very scared.
The ringing in his ears had stopped and he painfully put a hand to his head "ughhh, nice to see some familiar faces" he muttered, crushing his eyes closed "what have I done to deserve such an audience?" Tony shook his head "you haven't changed, you know that? Here we were thinking you were tucked away in Asguard, only to have Thor come down and tell us you've escaped" he glanced over to Thor "and where do you turn up? At Wanda house, which is surprising considering you've never met her before. So why did you go?" Tony's words were lost to deaf ears as Loki got a crushing head ache. It was fiery and painful, blocking out everything. Both his hands had come to his head, trying to push out what ever what in his head.
Thor watched his brother and realised something was wrong. He glanced around and caught eye of the magic girl next to him. She had her eyes shut tight and he knew it was from fear. Then he noticed her muttering. He shook her shoulder. She looked up startled and with her mouth stopped chanting, Loki visibly relaxed and panted "do not" he said "mess with my brothers mind" he growled. The girl looked confused for a moment then nodded. Tony had continued with his smart ass questions and Loki, having his bearings began to retort just as easily "you obviously didn't want to chain me up, so you put me in a glass cage, like an animal" Loki sneered. Tony laughed "and what exactly do you think you are?" He lavished. Loki scowled "I am a god, and sooner or later your going to realise that".
Wanda watched everyone have their go at Loki, Clint even asked to be allowed in to have a 'man to man' conversation, but no one opened the glass prison. Bruce stayed away, Thor gave him a speech and Natasha had an almost flirtatious talk about the last time they met. Wanda had never met Loki before. Well patsy from when she found him sitting on her couch. She new he was Thors adopted brouther and that he was manipulative and evil and tricky strategic and- "Wanda?". She was pulled from her daydream when Steve gently shook her shoulder. Everyone was looking at her "w-what is it?" She said. He tilted his head "I said, did you want to talk to him?" She narrowed her eyes "who? Oh right, the Trickster. Uhh no I'm ok". One by one, they left, leaving Wanda and Steve. She had her hand resting on the palm of her hand, her mind wandering and her eyes unfocused "any particular reason your staring at me?" An unnaturally smooth voice cut into her thoughts. She blinked realising she had been staring directly at Loki "n-no, I didn't realise actually" she muttered. Her watched beeped and thetime mocked her:
10:36pm
She yawned and stood up, walking to her room. She felt looks gaze following her and she turned. He hadn't moved from when he came to "are you going to sleep like that?" She asked. He went to sit up and winced before giving up. She shrugged her shoulders "J.A.R.V.I.S, please turn of the lights, and good night J
