Avengers X Reader: Surprises Pt.3

I remembered the day I met my first love. I smile at the memory. I could stay up here forever; it's so peaceful.

~~~~~~~~~Flash Back (Flash Back Brought To You By Doctor Who)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I came down the next day there was a surprise for me, and not really the good kind. I had a baby sitter. I don't need a baby sitter. Tony was grumbling and grumpy… and Fury was here. This can NOT be good. I get my breakfast (same as yesterday). Fury clears his throat.

"What is it 'Father'?" I ask, my voice filled with sarcasism. "There's obviously some thing on your mind."

"_, this is Loki, He will be looking after you, making sure you don't get into, or cause, any trouble."

"Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you, Midgardian. I hope I get to learn more about you."

"And whose bright idea is it to have the GOD of trouble, mischief, and lies, make sure I don't get or cause trouble?" I sneer, ignoring Loki. Thor looks kind of guilty. I soften my gaze and say, "Is he here so he can prove that he's good now, Thor?"

"Yes, you understand, don't you?" I feel my heart ache, such brotherly love. I nod beginning to tear up, they remind me the way my little brother and I am- Was.

"I understand. Gomenasai, I-I'm sorry. I-I going out for a fly." I choke out, turning on my heel and running to the stair-well, and up to the roof, wanting to get as far away as possible.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Avengers P.O.V.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The avengers sat in stunned silence. _ wanted to be away so much she took the stairs.

"Loki, I think we should all split up and look for _, she seemed very upset." Thor said sadly.

"I think we should leave her be, I was slightly reading her mind when she softened the way she looked at you. She agreed to because we reminded her of the way her and her brother are. But I'm curious almost as an after thought she thought that 'No not am-Was'. Why is that?" Loki asked.

"She's an orphan. Her foster family was murdered, right in front of her, when she was six years old. She loved them as though they were her real family." Nick Fury stated, sadly. "Such a young age to be so scarred. She killed ten men that day too."

"I think you need to spill the beans on everything you know about _. We feel as though she's family, so we have the right to know." Tony lectures Fury. Fury nods, and sighs.

"She was always an orphan. There is a laboratory that took her in and experimented on her. They wanted the perfect soldier, and human. When she was four and none of the tests looked like they worked. They thought she remained normal. So they released her to the orphanage. She got adopted by a very nice family who had a little boy, _'s age, and they always wanted a little girl, but couldn't due to difficultly in the birth of the son. So they adopted _. The scientists poured over their research trying to find why _ didn't react to the experiments. They found that she did, and it just didn't show up on the tests. So they tracked down the family to get her back, when the parents refused, they killed them, and tried to take _ by force. Her little brother, refused to let them take her, they killed him in front of her. That's when she found her abilities. She lost it, they have a video of the whole thing. One of them had a hidden camera on him, so if she used her abilities they would know what they are." Fury takes out a small compact disk. "Would you all like to see what's on it? I warn you, you won't be able to look at _ the same." There were collective nods, they'd seen _ nearly lose it once, and they wanted to know what they were up against if she really did lose. Fury nods back and pops the disk into the DVD player. Then the movie began, Tony's 50 inch 3-D T.V. making them feel as though they were there when it happened. The Avengers see Retrievers talking to whom they assumed was _'s adopted parents. Then they see them get killed, by were-wolf like creatures. Blood dripping from their mouths and claws, staining and further matting their muddy brown, matted fur. The Avengers hear them all laugh in absolute pleasure of tasting blood. Blood pools around their cooling bodies. Their last words were "Protect yourselves and run, our dearest children. _ Keep Alex and yourself safe." Then they died. The Avengers also see _ in the corner of the camera watching. When the deed is done _ turns and runs, terrified. They watch the creatures wonder the house, sniffing out _. She was in the play room, in a corner, in front of her little brother. Her face is determined not to let them anywhere near her little brother. For a six year old, her glare could make any one shudder in fear. Her stance was defensive, legs apart, arms open, palms forward. She was in a cute little white night gown. It had small ruffles on the arm holes, and around the hem of the night gown. She looked like an angel, her (L/H) (F/C) hair swaying every time she moved, and her (F/C) as (Insert- look in description). Her pink lips a firm thin line. One of the creatures grabbed her, she shrieked in fear and pain. Her little brother looked angry and started biting the creature that held _. "RUN, ALEX, RUN! LEAVE ME! SAVE YOURSELF!" "NEVER! I WON'T LET THESE WANKERS TAKE MY SISSY!" The Avengers were shocked at the boy's language, especially for his age, but they thought it was cute none the less. "SHUT UP YOU LITTLE BRAT!" One creatures growled at Alex. Alex continued to attack the creatures, even throwing his toys at them, they found this extremely funny. That was until Alex kicked the ring leader in the balls, really, really, hard. The ring reader, let out a high pitched whimpering howl that would rival that of a kicked puppy. When he recovered, mostly, he growled. "KILL HIM!" His goons grinned and ripped Alex apart, literally. Blood splattered everywhere, splattered right across the front of _'s night gown. She screamed, "ALEX! ONI-CHAN! NOOO!" Tears streaming down her face her delicate frame shaking uncontrollably. Her head is down, her hair covering her face. All they could see is a deranged grin creeping on to her beautiful face. Then The Avengers hear chuckling, and it's coming from _. Her nails grew and sharpened to a deadly point, fabric rips and darker than black wings sprout from _'s back. A breeze in the room picks up her hair and swirl it around. When she lifts her head, her eyes are wide in insanity, murder swirling in them. Her dark chuckle goes to a loud evil laugh. Paralyzing the creatures and the Avengers. When she walks forward there is a swing in her hips that draws all eyes on her. "Do you know what today is?" _ asks in a sweet angelic voice that doesn't fit her appearance. The creatures all shake in fear and shake their heads 'No', not really sure if they want to know the answer to that question. "Today is the day my family died. Now for you it's judgment day. Your crime, KILLING defenseless people, and MY FAMILY. Your punishment, YOU DIE." Her voice going from angelic to demonic. After she says this she doesn't even give them any time to attack. She launches herself across the room, so fast she's just a blur. The creatures stand there in shock not knowing what just happened before they feel sudden horrible pain. They shriek and scream as their bodies get ripped apart, blood spurting all over the play room, soaking _'s once white night gown red. She turns and looks past all the bodies of her attackers and her family's murders. Her look and body language softens, her nails go back to normal, and her wings retract into her shoulders. She walks over to Alex's side and kneels down. Holding his hand, she cries. A pale gas fills the house, causing _'s Eye lids to droop, until she falls asleep, her body lying over Alex. More creatures enter the scene wearing gasmasks. Their eyes wide at the carnage of dead bodies, mostly their comrades. They pick _ up, and force her in to a dog kennel, that's barely big enough for her. Then one of the creatures retrieves the camera and they all get outside, the camera still rolling as the creatures set the house on fire, and watch it burn.

Fury pauses the film. "That's all that's on the disk. She went dark angel on their butts. I've never seen anything like that. I acquired the disk some years ago, on an assignment. I had to infiltrate the laboratory and steal evidence of what they were doing. That's also when I lost my eye. One of the experiments got lucky and took a pencil and stabbed it in the nearest man's eye. I happened to be the nearest man at the time."

Everyone was silent, Tony was sobbing, Steve looked horrified along with Natasha, Clint, Banner, Thor, and surprisingly, Loki.

"My poor little _! How could such a sweet innocent girl have such deep horrible scars!" Tony sobs.

"I never thought I'd hate being made into a super soldier, right now I couldn't hate it more." Steve growls.

"I now understand completely why _ hates doctors, for her all they ever bring is death to her loved ones." Banner shudders.

"Poor lass! Not even on the battlefield have I ever seen anything worse than what I just saw." Thor shakes his head and frowns.

"I do believe what I just saw isn't worse than what I've ever done, but it's very, very, close to it." Loki says, his handsome face pale. His heart clinches, and aches.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Loki's P.O.V.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I do believe what I just saw isn't worse than what I've ever done, but it's very, very, close to it." I say, my face pale. My heart clinches, and aches. 'What is this feeling? It hurts so badly, but it feels good at the same time. Could it be I love the Midgardian woman? She was extremely beautiful, cunning and mischievous too. I must ask Thor about this. I wonder if this is how he feels when he looks upon Jane, his woman.' I think to myself. I rise, and clear my throat. I wait until every eye in the room is on me.

"I think we should go find _ now. She is probably in a lot of emotional pain." Everyone agreed with me, probably because I was thinking of _'s well-being. I stop Thor from leaving once everyone else had left. "Thor? What do you feel when you look upon the Midgardian Jane?"

"I feel as though my heart would pound itself right out of my chest. My heart gets tight, and it aches when I see her get hurt, even if it's just a scratch. Why do you ask me of this Brother?"

"I-I Think, no I know I'm in l-love, with _-_. My heart ached so badly while watching the film, I had a hard time controlling myself not to punch the thing they call a T.V. Also the fact that I've been constantly thinking of her when she left." I say, nervous about confessing my love for the mortal. Thor smiles and laughs loudly.

"I would appreciate it if you didn't make fun of me, when I am opening up my heart to you." I frown.

"No, not making fun of you, My Brother. I am happy because you've become so much that is good to the point of you being able to love again."

"You better not tell anyone about this, Brother." I warn.

"Of course not. We will keep it to ourselves. Right JARVIS?"

"Of course sir, I won't tell Master Tony, or anyone else, especially not _." The A.I. replied.

"Damn, I forgot all about the A.I." With that said I turned and walked out of the building. I started looking everywhere, I was beginning to feel frantic when I heard a moaning sob coming from inside the cemetery I was passing. I walk through the entrance and follow the sobs. When I stop I see _ sobbing on a grave, the grave said 'Alex Keller R.I.P', next to it were ones that said 'Mary Keller' and 'Jacob Keller'. These were the graves of her family. I felt my chest tighten in pity. I sit down next to _ and pull her into my lap. I wrap my arms around her, one stroking her back, the other hand tangled in her beautiful shining (L/H) (F/C) hair. She sobs into my chest, gripping me tightly, her grip doesn't hurt, and it feels good, like I belong here. "SHH… it's okay, just let it out, you're all right. No one can hurt you right now."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Reader's P.O.V.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm crying over Alex's grave. I hear footsteps approaching, I don't care who it is right now, and all I want is Alex. I'm pulled into someone's arms. They're comforting and soothing. He rubs my back in circles, calming me. I grip him tight and sob into his chest. "SHH… it's okay, just let it out, you're all right. No one can hurt you right now."

I recognize the voice of Loki. He holds me until I fall asleep, hiccupping. He's so warm.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Loki's P.O.V.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I feel _ calm down and fall asleep. She hiccups a couple of times in her sleep. She really is beautiful. I kiss her forehead. Then I lift her up, bridal style, still clutching my chest. My heart swells with love as I look upon her. Yes, I a God, has fallen for a mortal. I bring her back to Stark Tower. None of the others have gotten back yet.

"JARVIS, it is I, Loki. I have found _. Can you contact the Avengers and let them know she is safe and sleeping peacefully?"

"Yes, thank you for finding her. Tony will be very relieved, he loves her as if he was her father."

"Thank you JARVIS. Um… Can you also tell me where _'s room is? She's shivering and should sleep in a normal bed, not my arms."

"Of Course. It's on the 99th floor, five doors across from the elevator."

"Thank you." I say and teleport to her room. I pull her blankets back and was about to lay her down when I realize her clothing is filthy. I am about to ask JARVIS for help when there is a knock at the door and in comes Pepper, I think.

"Hi, I'm Pepper, Tony's girlfriend. JARVIS informed me of _'s state, and had my come up here to change her for bed. Just set her in the chair and I'll have you come back in when I'm done." She says, washing away my worries.

"Thank you." I say as I set _ down in a chair. I'm saying Thank you a lot for some reason. I turn and leave closing the door after me. A few minutes later Pepper calls me back into the room. I pick _ up, careful not to disturb her. When I get her all tucked in, I go two floor's down. When the Avenger's come back Tony is loud.

"Where was she? Was she alright? You didn't do anything to her, did you? Where is she?!" Tony practically yells. I know she's two floors away but I still feel as though Tony's going to wake her up.

"Quite down. She's fine she's sleeping in her room right now. No she's not harmed in any way. I didn't do anything to her. She was visiting her family's graves." I calmly say. Tony relaxes along with the rest of the Avengers. Thor smiles at me in a knowing way. He knows I comforted her, being as my shirt was soaked with tears. I'm surprised no one else noticed.

"Why is your shirt wet? It wasn't raining." Clint says, wary of me. Damn, I spoke too soon, again!

"When I found her she was crying. I held her until she ran out of tears and fell asleep, then I brought her here and put her to bed, after Pepper changed her into her pajamas." I clarify. They all relax. Tony's not having it though.

"Is that right Pepper?" Tony asks. I'm confused, Peppers not in the room.

"Yes it is, don't worry, Loki waited outside while I was changing her." I nearly jump at her voice, I didn't even know she was behind me. Tony looks relieved.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Back To The Present (Brought To You By Doctor Who)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I smile at the memory, when I was crying that's when I realized that I loved the God of mischief. Not that I told him though.
