This is it: the final chapter.
Natasha opened the door to the tiny apartment. She tossed her long red hair over her shoulder and began to pull off her jacket. She stopped by the heater and gave it a swift kick. For the third time that day, she cursed the heater. The agent was no longer accustomed to the Russian winters.
Natasha sighed and removed her jewelry. The man she was trailing liked women with gaudy jewelry which really did not do anything for her. Natasha set the jewelry on the dresser and picked up the clear crystal that hung on a golden strand.
She smiled as she put the necklace on. Her fingers stroked the colorless crystal and she thought about how it used to be filled with green swirls and red flecks. But that was over two years ago.
Natasha pulled her tall boots off and tossed them next to the dresser. She was now left in leather black pants and an extremely low cut red blouse. The idiot had nearly drooled on himself as he saw her.
Natasha pulled her phone out of her pocket and sent the remaining pictures to Fury. They included pictures of associates and the home of the man. Fury would contact her in the morning for more information.
Natasha headed for the tiny bathroom. She turned on the hot water as high as it would go. She looked into the mirror and played with her long straight hair. It was amazing how just changing the style could make a person look different. Especially if that person was not paying attention to someone's face.
She quickly removed her clothing. To get close she had to get intimate with the idiot. She was able to deal with such things. She would just shut her mind out to what was being done. It was the mission nothing more. Sex did not equate to more than just sex. But she preferred to be clean as soon as possible afterward.
She wriggled her toes in the hot water. It felt so good to be warm and toasty when it was cold outside. She reached up and absently played with the crystal around her neck.
Natasha made her way through the snow covered city. The diner Fury was meeting her at was located right off the main street. Natasha hoped that she had received enough information to be done with this mission. She was in sore need of a vacation.
The diner may have been off of the main street, but it was hardly busy. The agent glanced around and quickly spotted Fury; he was sitting near the back. He looked funny to her with the hat over his bald head. Though she knew he would probably freeze otherwise.
"Enjoying the weather," Natasha smirked as she sat down in front of the Director.
Fury gave her a dirty look and used largely gloved hands to pick up his coffee. "I think I would prefer tracking Banner down again."
"I should tell him to go somewhere frozen next time he wanders off," Natasha turned to the waitress and ordered her food in Russian.
"The information you sent last night may be enough for us to proceed," Fury told her quietly. "I think your part in this mission is over."
"You need help extracting?" Natasha asked.
Fury shook his head, "Barton will be coming in. I need you to remove yourself from the picture without notice."
Natasha nodded. Becoming an overly clingy lover would easily do the trick. Then after the idiot rejected her, she would wander off and Barton would quickly remove him from existence. She would never be suspected for having a part in it.
"You will be starting your vacation after this?" Fury asked as her food was delivered.
Natasha nodded.
"Where will you be going?" Fury took a sip of his coffee. It was comical watching him maneuver the mug with those large gloves.
"Off to sail the Caribbean with my boyfriend," Natasha smirked at her own joke.
"Oh?" Fury asked. "I thought he was taking you to Asgard."
Natasha glanced up at the Director but did not say a word.
Fury eyed the agent and then sighed. "Thor stopped by when I was visiting with Selvig and Jane."
Natasha pursed her lips slightly.
"He seemed quite eager for Jane to visit while Odin is off in other realms. He also wanted to know if you were coming too." Fury eyed her. "He went on and on about how often his brother sneaks away to 'Midgard' to see his woman."
Natasha decided she was going to shoot the god of thunder the next time she saw him.
"I need a favor."
Natasha tiled her head and raised an eyebrow.
Fury pulled out a Manilla envelope and slid it across the table. "I need Loki to look at this. There have been several flare ups of magic that has been detected."
"Stark finally handed over the program?" Natasha asked but did not reach for the envelope.
Fury sighed, "Finally." He paused. "I need to know if these flare ups are something to be concerned about."
Natasha eyed the envelope and then looked up at Fury. "I doubt he will help."
"I am willing to…ignore…certain facts that I hear from Thor from time to time," Fury eyed her. "In exchange for help identifying magic from time to time."
The agent eyed him and the Director stared back.
Natasha pulled the envelope to her.
Natasha had tears running down her face as she sobbed. "Never again…" She sobbed in broken Russian about visiting her brother in America. The neighbors ignored her. She was some floozy of a woman who had obviously been dumped.
Natasha opened her apartment door and slammed it behind her as she let out a wail.
"Very convincing," Loki pushed her up against the wall.
Natasha grabbed his head and pulled him into a deep kiss; the tears completely forgotten. Loki grinded against her as his fingers slid between them to undo her pants. Meanwhile Natasha struggled to kick off her boots. About the time she managed to kick the second boot off, Loki had started to pull her pants down. He dragged the colorful panties down with them. As he bent down to pull the garments completely off of her, he lifted her leg and buried his face into her heat. It was a taste he could not get enough of.
Natasha moaned as that talented tongue slid inside her. It was so hot against the frigid cold of the apartment. Natasha's fingers ran through his hair. Loki nipped at her clit. Still holding her leg, Loki then pulled himself all the way upright. Natasha gripped the wall as Loki's free hand freed himself from his pants.
Natasha threw her head back as he thrust inside of her. It took several more thrusts until he was all the way inside of her. Natasha gripped his shoulders and wrapped both legs around his hips. As far as she was concerned, her body was his toy for the time being.
"Scream for me," Loki growled into her ear. She responded by biting it. She loved how he growled in her ears. And she knew he was aware of how much it affected her.
"Come for me!" Natasha ordered. She bit the crook of his neck. The god underneath her tensed up.
"Tasha," Loki threw back his head. He spilled himself inside of her.
Natasha let one of her legs slide down but she waited to support her entire body. They usually had a quickie when they first met up. It was generally followed by a thorough bout of sex later that night. She imagined it would keep her up all night considering it had been longer than usual since they had last seen each other.
Loki tended to pop up after a few days to a couple of weeks. This time he had waited three weeks. Usually it didn't bother her, but she found herself looking over her shoulder after two weeks had passed. It wasn't just the mind-blowing sex that she missed out on. She missed the nights full of food and talking as well.
Loki pulled away from Natasha. His breathing was starting to even out. He looked down when a Manilla envelope was thrust into his hands. He blinked in confusion. Natasha would bring envelopes like this into her residence all the time. Loki never bothered to look and Natasha had never handed one to him.
"Your brother is an idiot," Natasha said as she bent down to retrieve her garments.
Loki took a moment to enjoy the view before opening the envelope. He saw lights circled in red on photographs.
"It's magic, and Fury wants to know if he should be concerned," Natasha told him.
Loki frowned. Fury was recruiting him for help. He knew exactly what those bits of magic were but he wasn't liking the idea of Fury thinking he could just order him around.
"Thor thought Fury knew about us," Natasha leaned against the wall.
Loki sighed deeply and tried his best not to roll his eyes at his brother's stupidity.
"Fury is ignoring this if you are willing to help him from time to time," Natasha eyed the god. They had been 'together' for some time now, but to ask Loki to do something specifically to keep her around was pushing a new boundary.
"It's me," Loki frowned. "There are different ways to get to each realm. I have to take the long way around but this is where I tend to come out on Midgard." Loki handed the envelope back to Natasha.
"He's probably going to file that under 'threat.'" Natasha smirked. She pulled out a cell phone and began dialing.
"Are you still taking that 'vacay' thing?" Loki asked her.
"Romanoff," Natasha spoke into the phone, she looked over to Loki and nodded. "They are not a threat."
Loki raised a brow.
"He was able to identify it as your favorite Asgardian," Natasha smirked.
Loki couldn't help but smirk as well. He could almost picture the Director's face. Now that the Director was aware of his presence on Midgard, he may have to go irritate him every now and then.
He watched as Natasha spoke on the phone. He caught the fact that she was going on that 'vacay' immediately. This was good for him. His father had left this morning which meant he could take Natasha all over Asgard without a problem. There were many things he wanted to show her. The waterfalls he played behind as a child. The massive libraries. The mountaintop and hidden secrets of the caves.
It had been some time since Loki had acknowledged the fact that he liked her presence around him. More recently he had figured out that she was just a phase. Something that would passionately take over his life and then fade away. That was what this woman was to him.
It was best that she was nothing more than a phase. Asgardian phases lasted only a few decades, sometimes a century. When it came time for her to pass it would not hurt. He would be over her by then.
Natasha hung up the phone and smirked at him.
Loki grinned back as he hoped this was only a phase.
And that's the end! I hope everyone enjoyed! It was really fun to write and try to get into the minds of Loki and Natasha. Eventually I will finish working on my Hikaru's Story. It is written in notebook-well most of it. I have two bi-terms that start NEXT WEEK! So the timing of that seriously depends on how many energy drinks i consume throughout the next two months.
Please review :D
