Alright, I am not writing the details of the shopping trip as you would probably expect. Instead it is past tense, as when the chapter starts Riley is back in her room, and through her thoughts will give the basis of how the trip went. If you want a oneshot with the shopping trip, or if you want at the end of the story I will incorporate it..some how. Which ever you want. Once again, I do not own the Avengers or any parts of the story that portray them. I do own Riley and the plot of this story,
After the shopping trip, was over and done, well I say shopping trip it was more like three hours of Loki and I being tortured...Don't believe me, well lets see Natasha had me try on every outfit in the damn store; Tony doing the same to Loki. Needless to say, my head was still spinning from the headache. Now, if it had been just Loki and I...Pretty sure it would have been more enjoyable for both of us. Even suggested the idea, once we had arrived to the Damn mall. Naturally the one who objected was the infamous Hawkeye. He explained how Reindeer could not be trusted alone in public. Which no offense to Clint, knowing he had is reasoning; but he was ridiculous. Yes, I know he has his mind taken over by the God of Mischief...but after forcing him into a partnership with me, they at least owed him a chance. Right?
Only one who even felt the same way besides Thor, surprisingly was Captain. Having initially agreed to allow Loki and I to go off on our own, if we agreed to take one other person with us. Which, I felt was a good compromise to the whole thing. Bruce and Clint did not agree, adding input of Loki could easily over power one person. They didn't even consider the fact Loki was right there, or that he had countless clones. So, he could more than likely over power them all,if he truly wanted to; but they were all to conceited.
My headache now seems understandable, no? Loki I already knew wasn't trusted, with good reason...However, he has not done anything wrong in these last couple of days. Not saying he had been an Angel, but equally he has not done anything remotely evil. Only thing he has done that is more more creepy than evil. His clone or illusion posted almost always outside of his room, but he only did that to feel safe...call it his security blanket.
The throb coming from my forehead, caused me to groan. I should not keep thinking about what happened earlier, just put up the newly acquired wardrobe and probably lay down. I do not need a pill. I do not need a pill! I do NOT need a pill! You know what...forget it.
"Jarvis, please inform Stark that I need an aspirin." I snapped up, probably startling the computer as I did not usually snap at him.
"I apologize, Ms. Jacobs. Mr. Stark and the rest of the Avengers have gone out together, save Mr. Laufeyson." The voice of the computer responded. "Do you wish for me inform him, that you are,not feeling well."
Shaking my head slightly. "No."
"He is your partner, you should trust him." Jarvis said, making me glare up at the ceiling.
"I do trust him, but I do not wish to place all my problems on him." Snapping once again, knowing full well that Jarvis had already informed Loki.
Especially when the God of Mischief, suddenly appeared in front of me. Nearly giving me a damn Heart attack. "Jesus Loki, are you trying to kill me?" Asking as my hand was over my heart, trying to calm it.
His eyes widening, as he glanced around for a second. "Do not even joke about that! You realize if the wrong person walked in how it could be taken?"
Had Loki lost his mind, it was just a statement when someone was startled. Well, actually given his circumstances...I could understand where he was coming from. One mess up, and he would find himself back in the small cell. Lets just say that was Clint talking, and everyone backed him up. "Sorry."
"Quite, now Jarvis said you were not feeling well." He said, making me glare up at the ceiling once more. Fuck, you Jarvis.
My gaze met Loki's once again with a sigh. "I just have a headache, and simply snapped for Stark...but seeing as the Damn man is never home." This was true, Iron Man was always flying at random times. "Though, it is rather sweet that you came...or are you a clone?"
"Why don't you tell me?" He said with a smirk.
Loki is wanting to play, I see. How interesting..."What do I get if I aIkm right?"
"What do you want?" He asked, not missing a beat.
Wow, he is giving me a choice. Hmm wonder if I can try on his helmet? No...he would,never agree to that...but I want to try it on. But, seeing as I am just starting to get on better standings with the mischievous man. "A room, like yours would be nice." It was not an entire lie, because I did want a room as lavished as his.
"Riley? Have you forgotten my other title?" He asked, wait he said my name..not mortal.
Yes, I have been here for several days and this was the first time he has said my name. Usually he calls me mortal, or Midgardian woman. Rude, I know; but it is Loki. Which is why I am now kicking myself for trying to lie to him. Way to go Riley, you have forgotten one crucial aspect of him. He is the God of Mischief and Lies!
"Loki, I do want a room makeover." It was not a lie, like I said before. Just not what I wanted right this moment.
He growled, before turning. "How can you want everyone else to trust me, when you don't yourself." Now that was a slap to the face for reality.
Yet he was right, I wanted him to be trusted and yet I did not act what I wanted. "Loki, you promise not to yell or laugh?"
His head turned back to me for a moment, frowning probably puzzled by my request. Also, by how his foot tapped slightly was quite annoyed. However he nodded.
"Can I try on your helmet?" His eyes widened, before head fell back amd laughter escaped. A prominent blush must have been on my face. "You promised!"
"Right..." He said, before laughing again. "Yeah you can have the room."
"Let me guess, touch your helmet and-"
"You will beg for mercy." Loki finished, note to self...one day get your hands on his helmet. Pray, you don't die.
"Lady Jacobs, have you seen my-" The opening of a door and voice of Thor, just had to ruin the moment.
Well there went the moment. Thanks a lot Thor, we were getting somewhere and now you just had to ruin it. The Loki I had managed to get out, once again was buried instantly as he returned to his cold posture. Really...good job Thor.
"What is it that you need?" Loki asked, his voice harsh and cold.
Thor, sighed...oh he sighs...HE IS THE ONE THAT RUINED THE MOMENT! "Brother, Riley...Sir Steve would like to discuss something with the two of you."
It couldn't wait till tomorrow?
Loki growled slightly. "Fine."
Once Thor, left I turned to him. "So you did come to my room."
"That is cheating." The frown still on his face.
Giving a mock innocent look, before smirking myself. "Why should I play fair, when I know you wouldn't." A large grin came to his face at this.
"Smart girl."
Yay! We have something starting for Loki and Riley! Question is how long will it last, until Loki is a douche again?
