Chapter Text
Standing on the balcony of Avengers tower Loki looked out over New York, his pale blue eyes scanning the skyline, while his thoughts were running in many directions he heard all the comments “he doesn’t belong here” “we can’t trust him” “are you stupid Thor?” “He’s my brother!” “one wrong move and his out of here” Loki knew deep in his heart they would never accept him, yes he did try and take over New York but he was trying to change, he wanted to do good, good for his brother, good for himself and good for the people of Midgard who slowly started to accept him not as Thor’s evil brother but an Avenger all he ever wanted was to be Thor’s equal.
Turning he looked back into the tower at everyone, most of them had a disgusted look on their face aimed at him scanning the room his eyes landed on a pair of bright (y/e/c) ones feeling his breath catch in his throat hearing your soft voice in his mind “Hi Loki” he pulled his eyes away from yours and stormed off to his room located in the basement of the tower due to the others not trusting him.
Watching Loki storm off you turned to everyone else shaking your head “He is trying you know” you spoke up only to be laughed at “Really? What would you know about it (y/n)?” Tony asked, “He didn’t try and kill you!” Steve said, “He killed 80 people (y/n)!” Nat said, looking at Thor for help “He did stab me lady (y/n)” he said, with a faint smile. Standing up your chair squealed along the floor “he is just misunderstood! Have any of you actually spoke to him?” you argued “you’re new here, you don’t understand things (y/n)” Steve said while placing a hand on your shoulder, slapping it off you spoke “No, you don’t understand, none of you can see the pain in his eyes, none of you can hear his thoughts, none of you understand!” you felt tears rising in your eyes moving around Steve you headed for the door stopping in your tracks when you felt a hand grab your wrists turning around your eyes met Tonys “why don’t we understand? What do you know that we don’t?” he asked softly releasing your wrist while everyone was staring at you, “he should just go die somewhere!” Clint said angrily snapping your head to Clint “his tried many times, I can see it in his mind!” you spat turning you ran to your room.
“Whats her deal?” Clint asked “Shes a mutant” Tony answered, “her powers?” Nat asked “Imagine her as the female version of Loki” Nick fury answered as he walked into the room “Only less predictable” he added, “how?” Thor and Steve asked together “The New York incident Hydra got ahold of Loki’s blood and infused it with hers” “Does he and she know?” Bruce asked shyly “yes (y/n) knows that her powers match Loki’s, but he doesn’t and it must stay that way! Thor, you can not tell him! No one can! That’s an order!” Nick said walking over to the table handing out your file to everyone, “read it then give it back to me or burn it, don’t leave it around for Loki to find” with that, he left the room again, while everyone opened your file.
….
Standing in front of your mirror you looked at your puffy red eyes, turning them to the door to the soft knock you waited to hear who it was this time after most of the Avengers came to talk to you, but after a minute and no sound you walked to the door and slowly opened it, you saw no one up or down the hall but laying in front of your door was a glass of water and a sandwich and a small origami snake, smiling you bent down and picked them up “Thank you Loki” you whispered out closing your door.
Walking back to his room Loki had a soft smile on his face turning the corner he accidentally walked right into Vision, stepping back he dropped the smile but Vision saw it “What are you smiling about Loki?” he asked “None of your business” Loki retorted and walked on, watching Loki turn the corner Vison went to check the secret security cameras that only him and Tony knew about to see what the God of Mischief was really up to.
Opening your eyes they scanned the room to find the red light of the clock “3:00 am” groaning you sat up feeling how dry your throat was, reaching over to the bedside cabinet you drained the rest of the water in the glass. Sliding your legs out from under the blanket you rose and left your room heading towards the kitchen for a refill, the only noise in the tower was your footsteps entering the kitchen you placed the glass in the sink and turned the tap letting the water fall free from it and in to the glass, feeling like you were being watched you turned and scanned the kitchen but saw no one, using your telepathy ability, you didn’t read any minds, turning the tap off you picked your glass back up and returned to your room thinking to yourself you were just tired and it was all in your head, dropping his mental wall Loki’s eyes trailed after you.
….
Day after day Loki watched you, feeling close to you after all you were the only one to defend him well Thor did but not all the time unlike you, he noticed how you would play with long (y/h/c) hair when you were reading, how you would run your finger back and forth over your bottom lip when you were watching something, he noticed the little head tilt to the side when someone said something stupid to you, your early morning trips to the kitchen, but most of all he noticed how shy you really were.
Leaning against the door frame watching you again he felt a strong arm drop onto his shoulder turning to see who it belonged to he locked eyes with Thor “Brother why have you been watching lady (y/n) like a hawk?” “I’m fascinated by her, and what she brings to this little team of yous” Loki coldly said moving to the side so Thor’s arm could fall off his shoulder, watching Thor’s eyes drop to the floor and back up again Loki smirked “oh brother, you know something about her, do tell” “I have no idea what you are saying brother” Thor replied “Yes you do brother, you may be able to lie to the Midgardian’s, but you can’t lie to me, what is her secret?” Loki pushed for an answer, “She doesn’t have any Loki” Thor whispered turning his eyes back on to you “Every one of you here has secrets here, that’s why he keeps them in a file” Loki replied with the famous smirk, letting Thor know he was planning something, but what?
