LokiXReader: Black Wings (Prologue)
(WARNING: Some scenes will be loaded with feels. Loki is NOT in the prologue.)
When you were born, you were born premature. Sadly, your mother didn't survive the labor because of some freak accident with internal bleeding or something. Your father couldn't bear to see the child that killed his wife, or so you've been told. He put you up for adoption, even offered to pay for someone to take you, then someone finally did. Their names were Jack and Crystal Galton. The two people who raised you from then on. You were considered a normal child to them, no matter your flaws, you loved them with all your heart. "~Go to sleep little Black Bird" Crystal used to sing to you as a child. You always called her mom no matter what, and Jack dad. "~Don't let them catch you again" She sang as she tucked you into your crib. "~Even with the whips and chains. ~Even when they kill in vain. ~Just go to sleep little Black Bird. ~Maybe it's time to feel the shame." You sang the melody for the first ten years of your life, at school, at the grocery store, anywhere. Yet as a child, you never knew what it meant. Until that day. The day everything made sense.
On a cold winter day, you walked to school as usual, just a regular 8th grader. You entered your middle school, and took a seat in your homeroom class. You began to have stomach pains, severe stomach pains, but just shrugged it off. The pain began to spread to your shoulder blades, getting worse and worse. So bad you began shaking. "(Y/n) are you alright?" The girl behind you asked. "Uh yeah just cold... haha." You answered reassuringly. "Oh typical (y/n) always cold, just like her heart." The boy next to you teased, and laughed with his group of friends. This angered you, spreading the pain. "Shut up, Trent!" You almost yell, enough for the teacher to hear. "Is there a prob... (Y/n) are you alright?" She asks, walking to your desk. "Yes, yes I'm fine." You say, shaking off the dagger like pain. "Ew (Y/n) is growing tumors!" Trent yelled, and quickly turned to laugh with his buddies. "What?!" You yelled, the pain worsening as you got angrier. You reached for your back, and felt two large lumps on either shoulder blade. Touching them made it worse.. "Trent! It is not funny to joke about tumors!" The teacher yelled, then turned back to you, she gasped. "(Y/n) (L/n)! You are not ok! You have these..." Then it happened. She didn't even get to finish her sentence. One of the lumps on your shoulder blades burst open, pain shooting through you, you screamed in fell to the floor and outstretched from your shoulder blade was a long, black feathered wing, it set your class in panic. All the things those children screamed. "MONSTER!" "KILL IT" and other screams of terror. The other lump burst open revealing another wing, and more screams. All you could do was sit there on the hard tile floor. The pain coursing through your veins was excruciating. You began to feel dizzy. All you could hear were the sounds of screams, sirens in the distance, and your mothers song "~Maybe its time to feel the shame" and you blacked out.
You woke up in some sort of testing room, but the best part is, you were in a cage. You had IV's plugged into you everywhere, some giving you Tranquilizer to keep you calm, others taking blood, and other fluid from you. You felt your right shoulder blade and noticed they were gone, the wings. Could it have been a dream? A simple hallucination? Someone walked in the room, you turned around to see who it is. All you could notice about him at the time, was his eye patch covering his eye. "Hello." He said, taking a seat across the small room. You walked to the edge of the cage, gripping the bars. "Hi." You said, hastily. "I am Director Nick Fury from S.H.I.E.L.D." He said walking up to the bars, in front of you, you backed away slightly. "That's a good bird." He said chuckling to himself. "Now, how long have you known?" He asked. "Known what?" You ask, the pain came back to you again in your spine. "How long have you been a Magnificens." He said, pacing around the cage observing you. "What the hell is a Magnificens!?" You say, getting angrier. The pain got more intense, and you fell to your knees. You can feel the lumps beginning to form underneath the already torn flesh. Finally the cursed wings popped out of your shoulder blades yet again. "That." Fury said, laughing. "I'm a Magnificens?" You ask confused. "Well, you are certainly something... an Argentravis Magnificens." He said. "And I'm supposed to know what that is?" You ask, getting agitated. "It was a large bird." Fury said, approaching the cage, you backed up more. "That was the vaguest description I have ever heard." You say. Fury sighed, and walked to the other side of the room, sitting in the chair he sat in before. "Its extinct now. It was believed to have roamed the earth in... Well... a very long time ago. It was almost like a giant crow, wingspan of 7.5 meters, killing things as big as medium sized dinosaurs." He said, observing your wings from afar. "So I'm a crow..." "Not exactly. Who are your parents?"Fury asks. "I-I don't know." You said, sitting in the corner of the cage. "You were adopted into a family?" He asked. "Yes, my mother died in childbirth, and my dad didn't want me." You said, hugging your knees to your chest. "Oh. Well judging by my observations, your wingspan is about 5 meters so far? You will be kept in captivity though." Fury said, getting up out of his chair to leave. "What! You're gonna leave me in a cage my whole life!" You yell to him, quickly running to the edge of the cage. "Oh of course not, we will provide for you of course, but right now you are a huge danger to the world." "What about my family!" You yell, tears screaming down your face. They can't do this. You can learn to control it. "They will visit you." Fury said. That's when he left the room, and that was the last time you ever saw him.
That night you couldn't sleep. Just a helpless 14 year old monster in captivity. Moonlight showed through the skylight window in the small room, illuminating it like a lantern. You couldn't do anything that night but cry. The door creaked open, and you sat up looking towards the door. It was Crystal. "MOM!" You yell, running to the edge of the cage, flailing your arms to her. She took your hands and placed them on the sides of her face. "(Y/n) my sweet Black Bird! What have they done to you!" She said looking at all the wires connected to you. "I'm a monster, mom." You say, warm tears rolling down your face. "No, no you're not. You're only a monster if you let yourself be!" She said, kissing your hands. "You need to get rest Black Bird." She said, motioning to the floor of your cage. "I can't sleep though, and I don't want you to go!" You said. "Shh. Rest." She said, wiping the tears from her face. You laid down on the floor of the cage, hugging your knees. Crystal knelt down next to you, reaching between the bars to comfort you. "~Go to sleep little Black Bird" She sang, but this time, the verses were different. Her voice cracked and shivered with every word. "~You've been caught again. You'll find someone no doubt. Even if you scream and shout. Just go to sleep little Black Bird. One day you'll find your way out." She finished. Just then guards walked in. "Time to go Mrs. Galton." One said, gripping her arm and pulling her to her feet . "Please." She pleaded to one of them. "Come on." The other said, grabbing her. "PLEASE!" She yelled to them. "MOM!" You screamed, "MOM PLEASE!" You said, extending your arm between the bars. "(Y/N)!" She yelled, as she was taken out of the room, kicking and screaming. You slowly let your hand down. She was gone. Forever. The only friend you ever had. Gone.
