This whole doing a class, full-time job and still attempting to go to the gym three times a week seriously leaves no time for me to write. Though I've been working on the plot. So if I can help it I will post the next chapter today.
All these people deserve an awesome award and cookies:
LovesDragons: Thank you for the consideration
Magentarosegallifrey: I know right? That was such a fun chapter to write and if I can i will put another chap up like it again XD
Araki6: *Blushes* sorry I made you wait! You are part of the reason I'm trying to get this second chapter out today.
Natasha rolled onto her other side and nuzzled into the fur. She loved this fur. It was so soft and smelled good. She opened one of her eyes to see Loki sleeping soundly. She reached out to the god and traced her fingers over his skin. Loki moaned lightly at the ticklish touch. He cracked open an eye and groaned, too tired to do anything. Natasha smiled sleepily and flicked one of his nipples.
Loki grunted and buried his head into his pillow. Natasha wriggled over to him, not wanting to use the energy to actually crawl. She nipped at his skin. Loki pulled her to him and kissed her soundly. It wasn't rough or dominating like normal: he was too tired. Natasha ran her tongue over his lips, closing her eyes in the process.
She felt Loki move on top of her so that he could kiss her better. She moaned against him as his fingers grazed across her body. She ran her own hands down his lean back. The muscles moved smoothly underneath her touch. Loki's hands moved down to her legs and she moved her knees up so that he could get to her easier. Natasha leaned her head back into the pillow and moaned softly.
"The spell," She moaned as he nibbled on her neck.
"It's up," Loki murmured. He moved slowly; a sweet slow friction that made Natasha moan. Her hands caressed his back as he legs moved against his slowly. The slowness made her orgasm build slower but it was pleasurable. Her skin felt so sensitive to every touch he had.
She lay back in her pillow with her eyes closed, moans escaping her as Loki moved over her body. She gripped his shoulders as her peak neared. He moaned into her shoulder as he neared his own orgasm. Natasha went over the edge as he spilled himself into her.
Loki leaned his head against Natasha's. He had been sleepy when they started, now he was ready to just pass out.
"That was different," Natasha murmured. Her skin felt feathery from the small orgasms that had moved through her.
"Yeah," Loki barely breathed.
"Lazy morning sex," Natasha grinned. "Definitely underrated."
Loki chuckled, "We could-" he stopped when he heard knocking on his door. He pulled off of Natasha and tossed on his sweatpants. Normally he wouldn't care to be nude, but he was obviously post-coital.
Natasha jumped off the bed and wrapped the fur around her body. She glanced at Loki who waved his fingers at her. Her skin immediately prickled and she knew that no one could see her.
Loki opened the door to see Tony and Bruce. "What?"
"Are you doing magic?" Tony asked.
"Always," Loki grumbled.
Bruce pulled out his tablet, "Specifically are you doing a lot of magic outside of the tower. About 5 buildings over that way?" Bruce pointed in a direction.
Loki shook his head, "That's not me." He looked behind him and then back to the Avengers. "Meet me upstairs. . . Get Thor!" Loki shut the door before they could say another thing. This was bad.
Loki muttered a cleansing spell and quickly began to dress. Natasha noted that it wasn't 'Asgardian causal' but what he had been wearing when he had been fighting against them.
Loki turned to her when he was dressed, "I am taking you back to your room. Clean up. Hopefully they will come get you soon."
"I thought you said Thanos wouldn't be here for three more weeks," Natasha frowned.
Loki pulled the woman into his arms, "He wasn't supposed to be."
Loki ran her across the side of the building to her room. As soon as he dropped her off he disappeared into thin air. Natasha tossed the fur blanket into her closet. It was obviously Loki's and she didn't need anyone accidentally seeing it. She then hopped into the shower.
After her quick shower she began to pace in her underwear. She couldn't get ready in her gear or the other Avengers would want to know how she knew. It would also be a waste of time to get dressed in what she normally wore.
"Nat?" Steve's voice sounded followed by quick knocking.
"Come in," Natasha said and she busied herself in her drawers.
"Hey, we got to- why are you naked?" Steve immediately covered his eyes.
"I'm getting dressed." Natasha shrugged. "And I'm wearing underwear."
"Which is supposed to go under clothes!" Steve's ears were turning red.
"What did you need?" Natasha smirked at the Captain.
"Suit up," Steve told her as he turned his back to her. "Tony and Bruce have registered a really strong source of magic above the city."
Natasha grabbed her jumpsuit and pulled it on quickly. She pulled out her bottom drawer, which was filled with weapons, and began arming herself.
Loki stared out the window. Once alerted to the magic, he was able to concentrate on it himself. He frowned, he could see a glimmer against the sky where it would open.
Thor stepped next to him, "What do you see?"
Loki stared at the glimmer.
"I thought you said Thanos wouldn't be here for another 3 weeks!" Fury yelled as soon as he entered the penthouse. Coulson followed him closely, waiting for the word so that he could scramble SHIELD.
Loki shook his head. "This isn't Thanos. This is Chitauri coming to clear a path."
Everyone paused.
"How many?" Thor asked with his arms crossed.
"A lot," Loki frowned. "But his army has diminished quite a bit."
"We need to do a full-scale evacuation right now," Fury told Coulson.
"No!" Both Thor and Loki ordered.
"NO?" Fury stomped towards them. "There are millions of people down there!"
"We can't let them know we know," Loki stated.
"The whole point of him," Fury pointed to Loki. "Is to get the upper hand."
"With Thanos." Thor turned. "Loki will be sitting this one out."
Loki tilted his head, "We have only a couple of minutes."
The elevator dinged and Steve, Clint and Natasha stepped out.
Coulson headed for them to bring them up to speed.
"Loki, I need a favor," Thor turned to look at his brother.
Loki turned to look at him.
"Protect Jane," Thor glanced at Jane who was looking out the window.
Loki nodded without glancing to her.
"What's the plan?" Steve asked as he walked to the two Asgardians.
Thor and Loki turned. They both glanced at each other but Loki nodded as if to say 'go ahead'.
"As soon as they attack, we will need to get the people out of the city," Thor began.
"I can help with that," Captain America nodded.
"If we are evacuating then I assume that my people can be called?" Fury frowned.
"Yes," Thor frowned.
"We will take the ground," Clint stated and Natasha nodded.
"Stark and I will take the air," Thor stated. He glanced at Tony who was texting.
"Pepper is supposed to get on a plane in twenty minutes to come back, I'm thinking she should wait," Tony stated.
"I'm going to stay here," Bruce said quietly.
"We could use your help," Thor told him.
"I will do more damage while there are civilians still in the city," Bruce shook his head. "I can work with Jarvis to keep a shield around the tower."
"Loki," Thor frowned. "Protect Banner. I prefer to have a bed to sleep in when I return."
"IF you return," Loki smirked.
Thor chuckled, "be safe."
"I will look like Frey if you need me," Loki told him.
There was a large 'crack' as if lightning had stuck nearby.
"Here we go," Thor gripped Mjolnir.
With another large 'crack' the sky ripped open and Chitauri began to pour out of it.
Loki's features shifted into the older sorcerer as he turned and headed for Jane. He grabbed her hand and led her toward the stairs. Darcy and Selvig quickly followed them. "Let's go beastie," Loki smirked at Bruce. Bruce glanced at the Chitauri pouring out of the sky and quickly followed Loki.
"Let's go," Thor whirling his hammer as he ran for the door to the outside. Stark's face plate shifted down and he followed the blond god.
Fury whipped out his phone and began ordering someone on the other line as Coulson did the same.
"Come on," Steve rushed for the stairs and Natasha and Clint followed quickly.
When they reached the streets they could hear screaming from the civilians. Police officers were shooting at the Chitauri as a stampede of people headed in the opposite direction.
"We need to get them to the subway!" Steve yelled. He raced for the police officer. The officer recognized the Avenger who tossed his shield and knocked out the larger of the Chitauri. "We will keep the Chitauri in the center of the city but we need the citizens out of here."
The police officer pulled out the walkie-talkie, "I need the citizens evacuated immediately. Use the subways. Call everyone in, we need to get these people to safety: that is our number one concern.
Natasha had her back to Clint who was shooting his arrows continuously at the Chitauri heading toward the civilians. The hole above them was still pouring out Chitauri which seemed to be heading for the Avengers in particular. This was obviously about them and not the civilians this time.
Natasha shot the three in front of her. There were many Chitauri but she was still thankful that they hadn't seen any whales yet. That would require for Bruce to change into Hulk.
Tony flew through the air and shot at several of the Chitauri who were flying around on their small spacecrafts. Lightning shot through the air and brought down 8 flying by. Tony decided he should move a bit out of the god's range.
A loud noise sounded and Tony jerked to a stop. The rip in the sky widened. A roar sounded through the air and a large spacecraft emerged from the rip. It was as large as Stark Tower.
"That's a problem," Tony stared at it wide eyed.
"We have to close the portal!" Thor yelled.
"Yeah, that may have been a good idea about three minutes ago," Tony shot missiles at the giant spacecraft to no effect.
Bruce fiddled with the main computer in the lab. Loki stared at the screen that showed the outside.
"It's not as many as before, right?" Jane asked Loki.
"Quality over Quantity," Loki frowned.
"They've been taking them down pretty easy," Selvig stated from behind Bruce.
"Thanos wants to wear us down with his lower soldiers," Loki crossed his arms. "His stronger warriors are on the ship."
Darcy watched as the ship opened and Chitauri began pouring out of it. They began attacking the buildings as soon as they could reach them. Stark tower shuddered and all of them looked upward.
"Exactly how safe is the tower?" Darcy watched as dust fell from the ceiling.
"I'm trying to keep Jarvis' shields up," Bruce was quickly pounding away on the keyboard. Loki's eyes darted to the man as sweat began to drip down Banner's brow.
Natasha kicked the Chitauri back and then shot it in the face. She heard Clint grunt as he hit the floor. She turned and shot at the creature that loomed above him. Clint rolled out of the way of the dead Chitauri and changed his arrows to the exploding kind. He let the arrow fly and it took out a section of the street.
"Where did Cap go?" Clint yelled to Nat.
Natasha whirled around and saw that she didn't see Steve or any civilians down the street. "He's doing his job." She used both of her guns on the advancing Chitauri. All of them fell down except for the larger one. She could see the bullet hole going into its skull but it was still advancing. She continued to shoot at it but it didn't stop.
It grabbed her by the arm and tossed her like a rag doll across the street.
"NAT!" Clint yelled. He shot the exploding arrow into the Chitauri's chest. He ran to get to Natasha and away from the explosion. The Chitauri swelled around him. He couldn't see Nat but he could hear her shooting down the enemy.
"I'm fine!" Nat yelled to him. She looked around at the swarm of Chitauri on the street. "We're going to be fine," she said, almost to herself.
Iron man continued to shoot at the Chitauri's leaving the ship. "How many more are going to come out of this thing?"
Thor slammed his hammer against the force field. The area around it lit up in a brilliant green from the impact, but then faded. Thor roared and tried again to no avail. "I will remove the barrier."
"Whatever you say Bam-Bam," Tony flew away from the god and started to take down the Chitauri in the air. "Jarvis, are there any civilians left in the city?"
"I'm showing several human life forms inside of Stark tower. The next closest civilian is over a mile out." Jarvis responded.
"Thank you, Cap." Tony flew lower and began shooting the Chitauri on the ground. "Where are Agent Romanoff and Barton?"
"South of us, Sir," Jarvis responded.
"Let's light these guys up then," Tony smirked.
"We have a bit of a problem," Bruce felt sweat going down his brow. His breath was becoming ragged.
Loki eyed the man warily. He was more than aware how that green beast felt about him and didn't feel like being on the receiving end of that.
Selvig made his way to Bruce, "What is it-"
The door crashed open and a Chitauri soldier pointed its weapon at them. Immediately it fell to the ground with a knife embedded in its neck. Loki made his way to the door and peered out into the hallway. "Banner, grab your device."
Bruce gripped the counter which crumpled underneath his hand. He looked up at Loki as his eyes tried to turn green. "GO!"
Loki frowned, "take a deep breath." He eyed the man warily. Barton was doing his best to get his heart rate under control. The others were making their way to the door. "Calm down and I will keep the Chitauri away."
Bruce shook his head as he tried to take deep breaths, "I'll hurt them."
The others eyed him warily but Loki merely grabbed his knife out of the Chitauri's neck. "Then I will throw you out the window at the Chitauri," Loki stated. "Breathe."
Bruce breathed raggedly but his eyes were less wild.
"Better?" Loki asked.
Bruce nodded and grabbed his tablet. He took slow deep breaths as he followed the others down the hall. Loki made sure to go a bit slower for the beast, also he was supposed to be pretending he was an old man. He took out two Chitauri on the way up the stairs to the penthouse. When he reached the penthouse he noted that there was a large hole in the window. He glanced around the room.
"Here," he handed Jane the formidable looking knife. He glanced around the room but there seemed to be no Chitauri around.
Darcy screamed.
Loki turned and grabbed the skull of the Chitauri who had rushed up to them and snapped its neck. It fell to the ground in a crumpled heap.
Fury looked up from his phone as he heard a scream from inside the tower. He glanced at Coulson who pulled his gun out.
"SHIELD will be here in twenty minutes," Coulson stated as he put his phone in his pocket and took his gun with both of his hands.
"Do we have twenty minutes?" Fury frowned.
Natasha ran from the overwhelming amount of Chitauri. She had to find higher ground, or at least a place where she could reload her guns and keep taking these creatures. She rounded the corner and gasped in pain. A Chitauri had slashed her across the stomach. She hit the Chitauri with the butt of her gun and fell against the wall. She quickly reloaded her gun and shot the Chitauri in the face. It fell down immediately but she could see more coming from down the street.
Natasha grunted as she pushed herself off the wall. She ran into the nearest building, trying to load her guns as she ran. Her stomach cried out in pain but she ignored it. When she got to the second floor she finished reloading and took a spot at the window.
She could see Clint perched up on top of a fire engine, shooting any Chitauri that came close. He was scanning the mass amounts of them. She knew he was looking for her. She began shooting the Chitauri on the ground.
Just as she was reloading again she felt the hairs on the back of her neck raise. She rolled to her right just as a spear was thrust at the window. Natasha peered up to see the Chitauri glare at her. It had a trickle of blood coming from the bullet hole in its head.
Natasha shot at it but it rushed her. Its hard body slammed her against the wall and she cried out in pain. She pulled a knife from her boot and slashed it across the face. It roared in anger. She kicked its feet out from under it and used her foot to snap its neck. She breathed heavily at the exertion and bent to pick up her weapon.
The creature rose with a roar and grabbed her arm. Natasha heard the crack of bones. She could see the protrusion of white on her arm. She swung out with her other arm and slashed its throat with her knife. The creature grabbed its throat as it spurted blood. With its last ounce of effort it kicked Natasha out the window.
Captain America raced for the center of the city where the fighting was. The police department and fire department were in the middle of a full scale evacuation. Now that they were at the edge of the city they didn't seem to need him as much. Steve knew that he would be of better use in the fight. He shot the first Chitauri to come into his path. He looked up and saw Chitauri entering Stark Tower. He frowned and hoped that Loki wouldn't bail on the others.
He turned a corner and was met with thirty Chitaurian stares.
"Uh-oh," Steve raised his shield.
Thor landed on a building as he tried to regain his breath. The shield was one of superior magic. He was sure Loki could take it down but Thor knew they couldn't let Thanos know he was here. Thor looked around. He could Stark being thrown into a building from a blast. He spotted Barton on the ground but no Natasha. The captain was fighting a whole battle unit several streets down from Barton. He then turned to see a huge hole in Stark Tower. We are outmatched.
Thor flew into the hole in Stark Tower. As soon as he passed the threshold he could see Jane, Darcy, Selvig, Bruce and Frey. Frey's features shifted back into Loki's.
"We are losing this battle," Thor headed for Loki.
"I noticed," Loki frowned. Thor could see five dead Chitaurians on the ground and pieces of Chitauri all around.
"We need your help," Thor told him.
Loki eyed him, "If I go out there then we have already lost."
"I don't want you out there," Thor shook his head.
Loki tilted his head in question.
"I think it's time for some dark magic."
The corners of Loki's mouth lifted into a devious smirk.
I have been thinking about this for like three weeks, so hopefully you guys like my next chapter. If I can't get it out today then I will do my best to get it out tomorrow. :D
