Starlight in Her Eyes
Chapter Two: Pizza with Thor and Loki
By Ghost of the old age
With a big huff the blond haired woman fell ungracefully onto her plush couch. Addie had just gotten back inside after half bragging, half carrying Loki, God of Mischief back to her apartment. The woman groaned and turned her head slightly. Lying, unconscious on the other couch, was Loki Laufeyson with her little grey cat curled up on his chest. Addie snorted and turned her head back. And this is why she wanted a dog! They were so much more loyal!
"Madam, if there anything you need?" JARVIS asked, the TV suddenly blinking on. Addie smiled and leaned her head against the arm of the couch.
"If you could, JARVIS, call for some pizza? I am not in the mood to cook. And if this guy wants food he's just gunna have to deal with it." Replied the woman as she stretched out her legs. The computer program did as she asked before turning off again. Addie was definitely thankful to Tony for programing a JARVIS system into her apartment. Already she had become reliant on the program.
With another soft groan the woman shifted into a sitting position and slowly massaged her shoulders. Dragging Loki back to her suite had been a pain in the ass. She had already gotten half way to Stark Tower when she found him. That meant a ten minute walk with an unconscious man dressed fully in battle armour and probably weighed about a hundred and sixty pounds. She had a right to hurt after that. When she looked up again at the man she found that her cat had jumped up onto the couch and was curiously sniffing Loki's nose.
"Pst! Come on, get away from the guy," Addie hissed, trying to keep her voice soft. She didn't want to wake him up just yet. Or at all. For all she cared he could stay asleep on her couch until morning and then sneak out. Oh, if only fate would be so kind.
She stood up and quickly scooped up the feline, carrying him into her bedroom. "Enough of that now. Leave the creepy god alone and stay in here," muttered Addie to the grey cat. She dropped him onto the bed and left the room, shutting the door behind her.
Two eyes peeked around the corner before Addie sighed. He was still out. She walked across the living room and quickly entered the kitchen. It was tiny compared to the rest of the apartment but probably the coziest room. The room was a long rectangle; one end had a large window with a breakfast nook in front of it while the other end had the door to the bathroom. Against the wall across from the opening was a long counter area that turned and slightly cut off the room. There was a space for about two people to walk through between the wall and the counter. The since was in the middle while a dishwasher had been set up diagonally down from it. The fridge was at the other end of the counter and an oven was set up beside the dishwasher.
Addie walked over to the fridge and pulled out a can of orange juice. The tab pressed down with a hiss before cracking open the metal top. She walked farther to the breakfast nook and sat down slowly, relaxing into the plushy floral seats. She set her drink on the table before pressing her cheek against the cold oak wood and sighing.
About twenty minutes later, her pizza finally came. She rang up the delivery guy and paid for her food once he finally reached her suite on the twenty-first floor. Yeah it was high, but she liked it. She got an amazing view of New York from her windows. Once paid, the delivery guy left, eager to probably get home and sleep. Addie closed the door softly and locked the dead bolt. She took the pizza box over to the living room table and set it down before getting two plates and her orange juice. The guy would probably be hungry once he woke up and even though he was some evil Norse God she was still going to treat him like a house guest.
When she got back with the plates and juice green eyes were staring at her. Addie jumped almost a foot in the air and let out a started yelp. "Holy crap! You scared me!" She gasped, staring with wide eyes back at the black haired man on her couch. His eyes were green. And it was just a certain shade of green where you didn't know how to describe it. But it was absolutely stunning and with the black hair he looked extremely attractive.
The blond haired woman set down her plates, trying to distract herself from that train of thought. She slowly walked over to the other couch and sat down, keeping her eyes narrowed on him the entire time. She had never met this god. When she had officially joined the Avengers it had been while they were sending Thor and Loki back to Asgard. She never spoke to either of them and never really thought she'd ever get the chance.
"You're Loki, correct?" Addie asked is a soft voice, not taking any chances with him. Said man gave her a bored look and slowly shifting into a sitting position. She tensed; her brown eyes quickly found the hidden blade taped underneath the table.
His eyes roamed her steadily and unashamed. Addie quickly looked back up at his face to find a twisted look there. He actually looked disgusted. Addie snorted and to herself and glared. "Of course you are. Well look here Mr. God of Mischief; you are in my house right now. I brought you after finding you unconscious on the ground. If you wanna leave, go right ahead. There's the door," she pointed at the locked door and narrowed her eyes a bit more.
He looked at her blankly for a moment or two before slightly relaxing. "Yes, I am Loki." That was it? That was all he was going to say? Addie huffed and crossed her arms, jutting out her hip a bit.
"Yes, I already know that, like I said. So, why are you back here? Shouldn't you have gone back to Asgard?"
Loki's green eyes flashed and within a matter of seconds the God of Mischief was standing and walking to the door. "H-Hey! I'm talking to you!" Addie shouted, following behind him. She wasn't exactly expecting him to just up and leave.
She caught up with him quickly enough. Addie reached out a hand to grab the Asgardians' arm, fully prepared to throw all her weight back. If he was going to leave she'd put up a good fight then call Fury to report that Loki was back in town. Her fingers brushed over the fabric of his jacket for a good second before she ran into a hard chest. "Omph!" Suddenly a hand coiled around the front of her throat and pushed her back some.
"Listen to me, pathetic mortal. I have no reason to answer to you, or anyone on this planet. It would be wise of you to leave me be," the god snarled, his teeth showing like some feral dog. Addie felt her face pale, whether from lack of blood flow or from fright she wasn't sure. She gasped for breath, regretting ever taking him back to her apartment. She should have just felt him there on the street.
"Brother! Put the mortal down," a deep hoarse voice rumbled from behind Loki. The Asgards' grip loosened enough for Addie to kick her right leg up and kick the man in the chest, propelling her away from him. She looked behind Loki and recognized a large man standing behind him holding a large silver hammer. His arms were hard with muscles and blond hair came down around his neck. Thor's blue eyes shone with anger and some pain.
"Thor!" Addie cried out, her voice slightly hoarse. She could feel the bruise already forming on her throat.
Thor looked across at her and nodded his head. "Lady Adrianna, it is a pleasure to finally meet you." Addie smiled and nodded her head back. She turned her eyes back to Loki, meeting his confused green orbs.
"I knew who you were since the first moment I found you. My name is Adrianna Stark, newest member of the Avengers. Also known as Weaver." She smirked at the god before looking between both men. "And I'm really getting curious. Why are both of you here, again? I thought that the whole 'take over Midgard' was over."
"It is Lady Adrianna. We are here for Loki's punishment. Our father –"
"You're father." Loki cut in, looking boredly at the wall. Addie glared at him before gesturing for Thor to continue.
"The All-Father has sentenced Loki to an eternity on Midgard among your people with no powers. I am here to watch over him until I am called back," he finished before walking over to his fellow Asgardian and grasping his arm. "May we come in?"
Addie stared at him for a moment longer before nodding slowly and walking back into her apartment. Good thing Tony owned this floor.
The three of them sat in awkward silence as each picked at their slices of pizza. It had only been ten minutes and Thor had already eaten five slices of pizza while Loki and Addie were only on their second. Thor and Addie sat beside each other on the couch against the window while Loki sat with Addie's cat on the other.
"What is its name?" Thor asked passed a mouth full of dough and cheese. The woman gave him a confused look, swallowing her food. "The cat."
"Oh, uh, he doesn't actually have a name. My cousin bought him for me a few weeks ago." She clicked her tongue at the feline and rolled her eyes when the cat yawned at her.
"Do your animal companions not have names?" The larger of the two gods asked. Addie shrunk back into her seat with a sheepish smile.
"They do but I'm not overly fond of cats. Plus between helping Banner and Tony I haven't really had the time to think about it." Thor looked curiously at her then over at the cat.
"How about Sindri?" He asked and grabbed another slice of pizza. Addie stared at him in shock and slowly shook her head.
"What does it mean?"
"It means small in Norse." Loki answered, staring down at his food with a frown. She thought about it for a moment, looking at the cat intently before nodding.
"Sindri It is. So, where will the two of you be staying?" She asked. Thor frowned before giving the woman a meek smile.
"Would you offer us your hospitality for a while, Lady Adrianna?"
I own none of the Marvel characters. Though I do take claim to Addie. You can't have her!
