His dreams were fretful, bordering on the edge of turning into nightmares. Nightmares of never seeing his beloved again, of her being hurt when he wasn't there with her. He rolled and thrashed in his sleep until falling still and smiling faintly.

Jinx didn't sleep well, something was wrong, something right on the edge of her consciousness that she couldn't quite put her finger on. Then, all of a sudden she was watching herself bleeding and falling to the ground and she heard the faint sound of Loki crying out her name.

"Loki?" she asked, then again, louder, "Loki!"

Then she saw him, his haunted eyes lifting from the body on the ground to stare into her own.

"Jinx? Jinx, what- how?"

"I don't know."

He ran quickly and hugged her tight, she returned the hug in kind.

They looked around where they were, never letting go of one another.

"Is this… are we dreaming? I mean, this place, is it a dream?"

Loki's eyes drifted to where her body had been before nodding, "I was dreaming about it, yes."

"How is this even possible?"

There was a twinkle in Loki's eyes, "Magic."

"I know magic stupid, I meant how did I get here without wanting it. Why didn't I just physically come to where you are?"

"Only the most skilled magic users can dreamwalk," he beamed. "Not even I can do it."

"Dreamwalk," she hummed, rolling the term around in her brain for a while, "So I can visit you without leaving where I'm being held? That's so perfect!" She leaned in and kissed Loki long and hard. "Can I influence people by infiltrating their dreams?"

Loki smirked, "If you're careful about it. You can't just outright talk to them like this, you have to immerse yourself in their dream, become a character that belongs, say what may be said in that setting and change their mind in subtle ways."

Jinx nodded slightly, taking in all the information, "I think I can do that. Maybe sit back and watch a few dreams before interacting…" she was talking to herself now.

Suddenly the environment around them changed and Jinx found herself in bed next to Loki in their room in Asgard. "What-"

"It's my dream, I can change it."

She chuckled, "And what is it that you're wanting to do here?" she teased.

"Oh," he said huskily, "I think you know."

Jinx moved to straddle Loki's waist and leaned in and kissed him passionately, "So you're trying for a wet dream?" she growled.

In a flash Loki flipped them and hovered over her, grinning ear to ear, "I think you know," he repeated and by the last word they were both naked.

"Your dream huh?"

"My dream."

"Well, I guess that means you're in charge. Are you going to take what you want or leave us both wanting?"

Loki smirked and thrust into her with one long, hard push.

Jinx gasped and arched her back, moaning. "Leave us wanting then?" she teased, a little breathless.

Loki pulled back out so just the tip was inside her and then thrust in once again. "I guess so," he grinned wickedly, continuing his long, hard thrusts.

Jinx moaned and rocked her hips into each thrust, pulling Loki's head down into a kiss, but he kept it short.

"I'm in charge, remember," he growled before starting to suck and nibble little marks on her neck and chest.

"Right," she breathed. "How could I have forgotten so quickly?" she asked with a soft laugh.

Loki slowed the tempo, wanting this to last as long as possible, wanting to have this moment with Jinx to last forever.

After what felt like days Jinx finally whined. Loki had kept her on edge with his mouth and fingers and cock for longer than she thought she could ever handle, but now she couldn't ride the line any longer.

"Please, please Loki, make me cum, please," she begged.

"You lasted a deliciously long time," Loki hummed before burying his face between her legs and licking and sucking until she came.

She shouted out in ecstasy before relaxing and sighing contentedly. After she fell back into herself she turned her head and smiled, "My turn," she said before taking him into her mouth and sucking him gently until he came as well. Then she rolled so she was laying with her head pillowed on his chest. "Do we have to wake up?"

Loki smiled sadly and kissed the top of her head, "I'm afraid we must."

"Why would I ever give this up?"

"When you fall asleep in the dream you wake up in the real world."

"Then I won't sleep," she stated, but the last word dissolved into a yawn.

"Yes love, you will. It's part of the reason that our sex lasted as long as it did. I know how tired you get after so much edging."

"Y-you're throwing me away?" There was a sob in her throat.

He held her tight to his chest, "Of course not! Oh sweetie, never in several billion years could I even consider that. But if you stay asleep too long and they can't wake you they'll become suspicious. I only tricked you this time because I knew you'd resist the idea of returning."

Jinx blinked slowly and yawned, "The God of Mischief," she murmured, "You're lucky I love you so much," she teased.

Loki kissed her again, "You didn't tell me that it's your birthday."

"Cara," she sighed, "I assume she also told you that I don't care about my birthday."

"She did, but that doesn't mean I can't send Cara with a gift."

Jinx smiled and yawned once more, eyes drifting closed as she relaxed into him. "I love you," she breathed before falling asleep.

Her eyes immediately opened and she looked around the room that was nothing like the one she had been so content in moments ago. She turned her face into her pillow and screamed until her throat hurt. She clenched her fists and willed herself to keep her magic under control, but she couldn't help the burst of magic that shattered the mirror in the bathroom.

It took less than a minute for several SHIELD agents to storm into her room.

She turned and glared at them, her hands beginning to glow a bright white, "Leave me alone," she growled, her voice hoarse from screaming.

Several guns rose and trained on her and she clenched her fists, readying herself to release her magic on them when Clint broke through the group of agents.

"Jinx, please stop, just calm down. What happened? Are you alright?"

"Send. Them. Away." she said through clenched teeth.
