Natasha walked into another store with Loki right behind her. They already have three bags each all with black, silver, or green color clothing. They were now staring at a formal dress store for men and Natasha let Loki look around and find his own suits. She watched him float around the room trying on certain types of material and even watched as he wore a full suit and did the cycle all over. She even caught herself smiling at Loki sometimes when he was being childish with the employee that was helping him. They were at this store for two hours before Loki decided which ones he liked and handed Natasha four suits and she went to pay for them.
The sun was way up in the sky by now as it was 2 o' clock in the afternoon. Natasha and Loki were now sitting at a restaurtant to eat since all they ate was the breakfast Natasha made that morning. Loki let his thoughts go to the incident in the training room this morning and decided now would be the perfect time to ask about.
"Agent Romanoff..I have a question to ask you." stated Loki and Natasha quirked and eyebrow in silent question.
"Natasha, Loki, and yes what would you like to know?" she asked
"This morning in the training room I saw you swordfighting and you performed an Asgardian technique. Where did you learn such a thing?" Loki questioned and saw Natasha tense for a second.
"I did? I mean when I was part of the Red Room I learned many styles in different forms of combat from swordfighting, to throwing daggers, to guns, hand-to-hand, ect. I'm sorry I wouldnt really know which techniques would belong to Asgard." she replied now deep in thought.
Loki seeming fine with this answer looked back at the menu causing Natasha to do the same and they fell into silence. They ordered their food while making small talk between mouth fulls of food. It was soon time for them to be heading back to the tower and so Natasha paid for their food and they left the restaurant.
Loki stayed deep in thought the whole walk back however. He was trying to make sense how a mortal like the red haired trickstress next to him knows of Asgardian swordfighting technique like the one she demostrated back in the training room. According to his knowledge living as a prince only that technique was learned by the royal family and this deeply unsettled Loki. 'I must ask the Allfather and Mother. Thor needs to get a hold off them as soon as possible for me. Odin knows how long it will take for them to recieve my request.' he thought.
They walked into the tower. Natasha walked to her room to check on Aurora and Loki went to find Thor. Loki went to the roof and found Thor there looking out at New York City.
"Its not like the wonderful, peaceful sight of Asgard isnt brother?" Loki asked walking towards Thor to stand by him. Thor looked surprised at 'brother' but then smiled slightly.
"Yes brother I miss the Asgardian sunsets. Mother always liked to watch the sun rise and fall." Thor replied and they fell into a peaceful silence.
"I need you to contact the Allfather and Mother for me. I need to ask them a question concerning a certain red head downstairs." stated Loki
"Oh? and why if I may ask?" Thor replied.
"She knows a royal family swordfighting technique Thor. No one else besides us should know such a technique." replied Loki and Thor at him startled by this information and quickly looked at him unsure.
"Brother I'm not lying. I swear to the nine realms that I'm telling the truth." growled Loki
"Calm down brother I only wanted to be sure." Thor chuckled
"Brother just contact our parents please." sighed Loki and went back inside to room. 'I'm turning soft and its because of that wolf pup.' he thought as laid on his bed. His mind swarmed with his memories of his time as a Prince of Asgard. Loki quickly shook his head and became angry that he let himself fall prey to his mind. He soon sighed and let go of his anger. 'All I really ever wanted was Asgard to accept me and have father see me as Thor's equal. I never wanted the throne just to prove myself. Now because of my jealously I need to do that ten times over. I shouldn't feel this way. I should hate everyone for the betrayal, but I do. I regret everything I did because I was a kid and my jealously got out of hand and therefore fell prey to Thanos.' Loki thought and before he knew it it was way past dinner time. He sighed for what felt like the twentyth time that day and decided to go to the roof to get some air.
Loki was about to walk through the doorway to the roof but then realize it was open and so decided to investigate. He opened the door and noticed Natasha on the roof sitting down on the ledge with her feet hanging off the tower.
"Agent- Natasha what are you doing up here?" Loki asked
Natasha turned around and saw it was Loki and relaxed. "I came up here to think. To get away from the nightmares." she replied.
"Then we are here for the same cause. I came up here to clear my mind of thoughts." stated Loki
They sat in silence for awhile. Loki looking up at the constelations and Natasha gazing at the people below. Loki noticed she seemed more relaxed around him and decided he to for once can do the same.
"You know I should hate you. Dispise you even. I jut cant bring myself to do so for some unknown reason. You are one of the reasons why I have nightmares. Lately they have been about that day in the glass chamber and your threat. You are the only one besides Clint that knows what really happened in my past. What do you plan on doing with the information?" said Natasha.
Loki looked at Natasha for the second time he went to the roof. He studied her and noticed that she seems very vulnerable at that moment. This took Loki by surprise.
"Nothing. Natasha a few months ago I would have, but not anymore." replied Loki still looking at Natasha.
"You're not truly evil are you? You love that little wolf pup. You handle her as if you might break her. What changed in you? Last time we all saw you, you would have atacked all of us without thought." Natasha stated confused her brows furrowed in concentration
Loki smiled softly at this. "In my rage of jealousy at Thor I caused many horrible events. I interfered with his coronation by bringing Frost Giants into Asgard who are our mortal enemy,Thor and I along with the warriors three went to Jotunheim in retailation, then I went back after Thor was banished and made a truce with their king, Laufey, when I was crowned the king of Asgard, and I falsly saved the Allfather from Laufey who turned out to be my real father. Dont you see where I'm going Natasha?" Loki stopped his rambling.
"Yes you did all of that because you were jealous of Thor and upset that your father didnt notice you just Thor." replied Natasha intriqued with the story.
Loki nodded " Yes but in my jealousy I went into a little madness. I planned to destroy a whole race the Jotuns or Frost Giants. Of course Thor stopped me having regained his powers and learning a bit more of what it meant to be a king and destroyed our only way into different realms. In doing this however woke up Odin and he caught Thor who caught me with both of us danggling over the edge. I yelled "I could have done it father...for all of us." but the only thing I saw in his eyes was more disappointment directed at me. Not being able to handle the disappointment with my Father I let go of the Staff that was saving my life. I fell into the void just floating in nothingness letting my jealousy and hatred fester until I fell on a rock belonging to the Chitauri and their master The Other and his master Thanos." Loki explained then fell silent.
"Why are you telling me all of this Loki? I have done nothing to warrent such a thing." stated Natasha as Loki sighed.
"Natasha...I'm trying to get you to see that all the things I did after I fell from Asgard wasnt me. I was being controlled by Thanos to ensure victory when he had doubts about me. He made sure that if I ever ran into Thor again that I would keep my eyes on the goal, to become king of..earh." Loki said while grabbing her hand trying to get his point across.
Natasha having heard that looked deep into Loki's emerald eyes. She did indeed notice that his eyes were a different color from when she last saw him. 'That makes so much sense. He was being controlled the whole time! I knew it, but I just didnt want to seem like a fool for saying it though.' she thought.
"You arent lying to me Loki?" Natasha asked piercing Loki with her gaze.
"I may have a silver tongue, but I dont always use it." Loki huffed causing Natasha to smile a little.
They looked back at the city to watch the sunrise. Loki kept looking over at Natasha from his peripheral vision and Noticed the peacefull look on her face while gazing at the sunrise. 'If she likes these sunrises then she'll love the ones on Asgard. Maybe one day I'll take her there so she can explore my realm.' he thought with a small smile.
