Soulmates. The word that everybody's life revolves around. Yours is a Norse God named Loki. Some people, like your brother, Clint, hate the fact, other people, like Tony, think you two make the cutest couple ever. After the Battle of New York, everybody is moving into the newly renamed Avengers Tower. You just hope you live through the experience.
Once Odin and Frigga left, you and the Avengers spent time just hanging out and talking. Loki told you about the amazing libraries scattered around the palace, and Thor told you about his friends, Volstagg, Fandral, Hogun, and Sif. You were quite excited to check out the libraries and meet Thor's friends, Sif sounded absolutely amazing. Loki and Thor kept apologizing about there father and his actions, and you kept telling them it was fine, but they kept apologizing, until Clint told them to 'shut up.' You hadn't realized you had been talking to all of them for as long as you did, because then the diner bell rang.
You were about to get up and follow everybody, but then Natasha pointed out that you couldn't eat in your pajamas. So, with her help, you got ready for dinner. You had on a gray, sleeveless and strapless, evening gown, gold heels, and a small bit of make-up. You brushed your hair, and then you and Natasha left, she was wearing a black evening gown. When you made it to the dinning hall, the rest of the Avengers were waiting for you and Nat in front of the doors. Loki grasped your hand, and then, the doors opened. Everyone had been talking quietly but stopped when the doors opened and the Avengers walked in. Thor lead all of you to a table in the front of the room, it was below Frigga and Odin, but above the rest of the court. There were four people already sitting at the table. A large white man with long red hair and a long beard, a smaller white man with short, neatly styled blonde hair, and a goatee, a small Asian man with a clean shaven face and black hair that was put up in a bun, and last, a strong looking women with long brown hair that was half up, half down. When your group sat down at the table, you ended up sitting next to Natasha and the mystery woman, who you assumed was Sif, and across from Loki. Once everyone was sitting, servants started to bring in trays and trays of food, most of which was meat, with the occasional rolls of bread. Then, even more servants followed them with jugs of something, which you assumed was either ale or mead. Once everything was set, people resumed talking and started grabbing food and pouring the mystery drink. You grabbed the first kind of meat you saw, it sorta of looked like some kind of beef, but you weren't sure. You then poured yourself some of the drink, you took a sip and found out that it was mead, and really good mead, so, you took another sip. When you put your glass down, you saw that the four, unknown people were looking at you.
"And who might you be?" asks the blonde man.
"I'm (Y/N) Barton, Loki's soulmate," you shyly answer.
"Well, Lady (Y/N), I am Fandral!" says the blonde.
"I am Volstagg!" says the large man.
"I am Hogun," says the black haired man.
"And I am Sif," says the woman besides you.
"Thor told me, well, us, about you! I wanted to meet you!" you say.
"Well, you have met us!" says Volstagg, "We have met the rest of the mighty Avengers and heard there stories and tales! We have yet to hear yours! We wish to know about your tales!"
"Well, the first thing you should know, is that I have powers, healing powers, but I am still vulnerable..." you go on to explain your skill set, pausing only to drink more mead or to take a bite of meat. You then go on to tell them about one of the mission that you went on with Clint, you had to capture Augusta Seger, she had become an expert in mutagenics and was researching the human mutation that created superhuman abilities, she ended up replicating them, so you and Clint were sent to stop her.
Once, you had finished your story, you notice everyone at the table had been listening to your story. You look down at your plate to see that it's empty, so you grab more meat and refill your glass, you then start to eat. Now, Clint was telling the story in his version of events, where he made himself seem braver then he actually had been. You roll your eyes and focus your attention back on the food.
It had been about an hour and a half since dinner had started and now everyone was just telling stories. You were on your 7th or 8th glass of mead, you still felt fine. You noticed that no one else was drinking anymore. You reached out and grabbed the jug and poured more into your glass. You notice that the "Warriors Three" weren't really paying attention to Thor's story and they were watching you drink. Out of the corner of your eye you saw Nat give you a look that read "Show them what you can do," she knew you couldn't get drunk, and since nobody else was drinking, you downed the rest of your glass and grabbed the jug and started drinking from that. A look of shock crossed the three men's faces.
"What has startled you my friends?" asks Thor.
Fandral pointed at you and Thor just laughed, "Yes, Lady (Y/N) can handle her mead quite well, she has told me her powers help her with it."
Everyone's attention turned to you and Clint just started to laugh. You finished the rest of the jug and set it on the table, "I don't know about you guys, but I am tried, so I'm gonna go to bed. Goodnight!"
There was a chorus of Goodnight's. Loki got up as well, you grabbed his hand and you both walked out of the hall. "So, did you enjoy that?" asks Loki.
"Yes, that food was amazing!" you reply.
"I meant meeting everyone," chuckles Loki.
"Oh! Well, yes!"
"That's good," you both walk the rest of the way in a comfortable silence. You reach a door, and see that it's the same room you were in earlier. You see your bag sitting on a chair and you grab it.
"I'm going to go shower and then go to bed, you can go back if you want." you say as you walk to a door leading off of the main room.
"I am perfectly comfortable in my own chambers, I am going to sit in bed and read," reply's Loki.
You shrug your shoulders and then walk in to the bathroom. You proceed to shower and get ready for bed. You pull on the pajamas you had brought into the bathroom with you, they were (Y/F/C), with matching polka dots. You walked out of the bathroom to see Loki was reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. You climb into the king size bed and get under the covers, "Will you read out loud until I fall asleep?"
Instead of answering, Loki starts to read, "Chapter Nine: The Dark Mark..."
You fall asleep that night to the sooth, steady pace of Loki's voice and the occasional turning of the page.
Time Skip: 4 days
The past few days had been very relaxing, you had spent some time in the library, went horseback riding, spent some "girl" time with Natasha and Sif (it actually consisted of a lot of sparring, weapon practice, and gossip), and many other things. But today was extremely important, it was Odin's name day, so everyone was going to be celebrating with a huge party. It was going to be a ball sort of party, so all the girls had to wear dresses and the men had to wear something showing there status. You, Nat, and Sif were in Sif's chambers getting ready. You were going to wear a emerald green and gold ball gown with matching gold accessories. Nat was going to wear a purple and black ball gown with black accessories. Last, Sif was going to wear a fancy version of her armor.
Once you were all dressed, you walked to the main hallway. Sif lead you and Natasha to a set of large doors, "Walk in, the guards shall announce your names when you walk down the stairs, once you are on the ball floor, go find Brother Clint and Prince Loki. I wish you both the best of luck!"
You and Natasha look at each other and then push open the doors. You walk to the steps and both of you start to walk down the stairs. "Announcing Lady Natasha Romanoff, Brother Barton's partner! And Lady (Y/N) Barton, Prince Loki's soulmate!"
Everyone turns to look at you both, you look at Natasha and then whisper in Russian, "Ну я думаю, мы либо действительно очень, один из нас имеет что-то на нашем лице, или что-нибудь, что связано с принцем Локи является специальным."
"Я голосую последний и первый, надеюсь!" reply's Natasha.
"И я тоже!" you whisper back, your eyes moving around the room, searching for Loki. When you find him, you see he is surrounded by a small group of women, your breath catches and then your bump into Natasha's shoulder, "Посмотрите! То, что он делает? Я думал, что он заботился обо мне!"
"Он делает! По крайней мере я думал, что он сделал. Поговорите с ним, если он не приходит очистить или объяснить, приходите найти меня, я убью его были, он стоит!" reply's Natasha, once you get to the foot of the stairs she pushes you in his direction,"ИДИ!"
You huff at Natasha and then start walking in the direction of Loki. You hear people whispering around you, "Why is she even here? She doesn't deserve Prince Loki!" or "Why did he even accept her, a puny mortal like her?" You kept your head down, but then you felt someone staring at you, you look up to see Odin staring at you. When he sees you look at him, he smiles, smugly and gives you a little wave. I guess they only negotiated not harming me in any physical way into the deal, you thought. You turned your head to see if Nat was still there, but she had wandered off, probably to find the other Avengers, or Clint. You turned back around and continued in Loki's direction. When you get in hearing distance, you hear one of the girls talking to him, "Why don't you just forget about Lady (Y/N) and come with us? You could have some actual fun!" she then leans on him.
You then heard Loki's reply, "No, thank you, (Y/N) is perfectly fine, I don't need anyone else."
"Please! I bet you're just lying!" says a different girl.
You could see Loki was getting quite annoyed at the women, "I said, no thank you! I am not the same, stupid man as before! I actually have someone to care about and someone to love! I don't need help from any of you!"
As soon as Loki said that, you came up to him, "Hello darling! How are you on this fine evening?"
"I am doing quite well, love? How are you faring?" he reply's, he then gives you a small kiss on the cheek.
"Great! This party is amazing!" you turn to the women who were still standing near him, "And you might you be?"
"I am Freya!" says one of them, she had long, beautiful, blonde hair.
"I am Idunn!" says a young looking one, she had long brown hair.
"I am Sjofn!" says one with long, red hair.
"And I am Angrboda!" says a blue woman with red hair.
"Well, it is a pleasure to meet all of you! But, if you would please excuse us, I need a word with Prince Loki," you then grab Loki's hand and lead him away from them. You keep walking until you reach a secluded corner, "What were they doing?"
"They were trying, and failing, to capture my attention, and drag it away from you. I know you heard the last part of the conversation. As you can tell, I am extremely uninterested." says Loki.
"That's good! Because when I walk in, to see you surrounded by a group of women, one gets worried," you reply, "I have a question. What exactly did the deal you made with your father include?"
"That he must not cause any more physical harm. Why do you want to know?" asks Loki, he looked worried.
"Well... I think he knew there was a loophole in the deal." you say.
"Loophole? There was no way out of the deal, we sealed it officially, if he breaks the deal, horrible things would happen to him."
"You just said physically, correct?"
"Yes, just physical."
"Well, you forgot two things."
"And what would those things be?" implores Loki.
"Emotional and mental." you state.
"What do you mean?"
"He seams to have somehow, got the whole party talking about us. More specifically me. When I was walking towards you, people were whispering things, horrible things."
"How do you know it was him, it could have been a jealous women."
"When I looked at him, he gave me the smuggest smile I have ever seen."
"Curse him! I wished for this visit to be enjoyable and pleasant for you! Instead, you have gotten impaled in the leg, and hurt by the harsh words of the court!" exclaims Loki, "Go and find the other Avengers, I shall go find Thor! Tell them to pack their backs and change for the journey! We are leaving!" Loki storms off.
You look around and see a flash of red hair. You walk over to see Natasha talking to Lady Sif, "Nat, can I talk to you for a sec?"
"Sure!" she turns to Sif, "Excuse me." She follows you over to the same place you were just talking to Loki.
"Help me find the rest of them," you say.
"Why?" Nat asks
"Because we are leaving," you then walk off to find the rest of the Avengers.
In about twenty minutes, you and Nat had grabbed the rest of the guys. You were all at the entrance.
"I want to go back! I was having fun!" exclaims Tony.
"Tony, stop whining!" you say, "Everyone, go to your rooms and start packing! We are leaving this place!" you walk out the doors
"(Y/N), are you okay?" asks Steve, he followed you out the doors.
"Honestly, not really! So far this week, I have gotten stabbed in the leg, and now I am being mocked by the court!" you cry.
"What?!" exclaims Steve.
"Odin thought it would be a great idea to tell the court about how weak I am! And then Loki was surrounded by women, he ignored them, but still! Why does Odin want to make my life miserable!" you reach Loki's room, you start grabbing your stuff and throw it in a bag. Storm, who was asleep on the bed, woke up and started following you around. When you looked up, you saw Steve was standing there, looking at you sadly. "What?!"
"Do you want a hug?" he asks.
"No! Maybe...yes," He walks over and pulls you into a warm, friendly embrace. You start to feel better, you pull out of it and continued packing. Steve left after a few seconds, probably to pack.
You finished packing a few minutes later and then walked out of the room, Storm trailing behind you. You reach the grand entrance and see the Avengers standing there. Except Loki and Thor was missing. A few minutes later, they walked in. Loki and Thor looked frustrated, they walked out the door. The Avengers and their pets followed them out the door.
Soon, they were in the circular room again. Then, they were back in the living room of the Avengers Tower, Loki stocked off to your floor and soon, you and Steve were the only people left in the living room. You turned on the TV and sat on the sofa. Steve collapsed next to you. Slowly you fell asleep, leaving your troubles behind you, at least for the next 8-12 hours.
