Bruised + Broken (Loki x Reader)

Chapter 3- Firsts in the Tower

The next five hours were the happiest you'd been in a long time, you and Nat finally talked about what you had gone through, and what she had gone through. Apparently, she was taken as a child, in Russia, and was trained to be a spy and an assassin. She said that her ledger was full of red and that working with the Avengers, would help wipe it. Clint Barton, Hawkeye, had saved her and gave her a chance when S.H.E.I.L.D. had assigned him to kill her. She defected from the Russian forces and became a S.H.E.I.L.D. agent and has been fighting evil since.

When it came your turn to tell your story, you found Nat on the verge of tears multiple times as you told her of the things that had happened to you, from the first time you could remember being beat and raped to the most recent events in your life. She gave off an energy that made you trust her, with information, and you found yourself telling everything, every detail that you could remember. She was the only friend you had ever had, and she was the person you knew you were going to be the closest with. When you were with her your mask slipped off, as you spoke through your soul, showing her the real you. That, you had never done, this was a first that it slid down, your soul knew you were safe, and your mind did too. Finally safe. 

As you were reaching the tower, Nat promised that she would protect you and not tell anyone what you had told her, unless you asked her too. Which you said would be unlikely. She also promised to teach you to defend yourself against anything you could ever come across, and you were going to hold her to that. If you were going to be living a tower with a bunch of super people, especially men, then you would need to be able to defend yourself. 

The car pulled into the garage, and your mask was thrown back up as you exited the car. One ride up the elevator and your new life would be here. A life where your life might not end up in shambles, and you broke to mental and physical pieces. A life that could help heal your past wounds, mentally and physically. This new life could even maybe hold happiness. You could only hope, and you hoped with your entire being. 

You and Nat headed toward the elevator and pushed the button that would take you to the 40th floor. She must have warned the others of your arrival, so when they were all casually sitting on the sofas you knew that they were eager to meet you and were expecting you. You did not know that they had been filled in on your uneasiness toward people. As they introduced themselves in their non-superhero names, they were cautious. The first to approach you was Thor.

"Hi there, remember me?" He said all to eagerly. 

"Yes, you are Thor" you said holding back a giggle. 

Thor was huge and muscular, he stood at six feet and six inches tall, a whole foot and half taller than you. He had huge biceps, and long muscular legs. He is fair-skinned, and has deep blue eyes, that go perfectly with his blonde flowing hair. He defiantly looked like a god. 

The next to approach was Banner, he was a soft one, you could tell, but you knew, that you should not trust him till you got to know him. Bruce stood at five feet and eight inches tall. He had brown curly hair and has deep brown eyes. He looked weak and looked like what you thought a scientist would look like.

He lingered for a second sensing your tense stance towards him. 

"Hi, I am Bruce Banner, we have met but I was the big green guy at the time" Banner said reaching to shake your hand. 

You took it and asked, "Wait you're the Hulk? I would have thought it was either just him or a big dude, no offense."

"No offense taken, I get that often when people find out I, a mega nerd, am the hulk" Banner said heading back to the sofa. Next was Hawkeye, Clint. He walked up even more cautiously, he looked at you like you were an injured doe.
