In Silence (Book 2) || Loki X Reader

Chapter 32: A big decision

You and Loki exchanged a curious look. Neither of you seemed to understand what Tony was talking about, but suddenly everyone's attention was turned on you.

What was this about really? Were they waiting for something in specific?

For a moment you tried reading Tony's thoughts, just so you could prepare yourself a bit but all you managed to do was give yourself a headache, so you dropped it. You glanced at Loki again but this time his face didn't have any type of curiosity on it. Now he looked more worried, but why?

"Tony, I don't think-" You started but Tony didn't let you finish.

"I'm talking about Asgard. Are you moving there?"

You were shocked. How the hell did he know? You and Loki had indeed been trying to figure out how to tell everyone but you hadn't yet. So, how could Tony possibly know about this?

"How?" It was all that you asked.

"You forget that I know everything kid. This didn't change during those three years."

"Did you spy on us?"

"Of course not!" He defended himself and maybe got a bit offended. You didn't blame him though. You knew very well that Tony would never do such a thing and accusing him of it was quite insulting.

"I'm sorry." You murmured.

"I saw Reindeer Games a bit off last night and decided to ask what was going on with him."

That definitely took you by surprise. When was Loki not in the room with you last night? Had he gone out while you were sleeping? And most importantly was Tony really worried about Loki? So much so that he had asked him about what was going on AND sat down to have a talk with him?

Well that was really something and way beyond you for sure.

"You asked him?" You smiled, pointing first at Tony and then at Loki who seemed a bit bothered by the revelation.

"This is beside the point." Loki said coldly.

"Wait, we didn't know that either." Pietro said with a smile on his lips.

"So are you guys besties now?"Nat asked.

"I think that this is enough." Tony cut you all. "Can we just get back to our main topic?"

The jokes died down quickly and all the eyes returned on you. Your heart rate got a bit faster. You hadn't had any time to prepare yourself on how to tell your family that you would be moving to another planet! You hadn't planned on announcing it so quickly. But then again maybe it was for the best because you would be needing to leave soon.

"Well..." You took a deep breath and looked at everyone. "Me and Loki have made a decision and I really hope that you can all accept and be happy about it." You took a quick glance at Loki. He gave you a small, reassuring nod and you turned back to your family. "We have decided that we will be moving to Asgard." For a moment no one spoke, which made you a bit worried.

Had they gone into shock?

Did they think that maybe you weren't serious about it?

You really needed one of them to speak soon otherwise you would go crazy in zero time.

The silence that had filled the kitchen was almost killing you. You heart was now pounding so loud that you were almost sure the whole block you hear it. Loki's hand had somehow found its way to yours, his fingers softly brushing your palm, desperately trying to calm you down.

The only thing that you needed right now was for someone to speak up, to say literally anything. You eyes kept scanning the room, trying to figure out what everyone was thinking but without the help of your powers it was quite the difficult task. Everyone seemed to be trying to take in what you had just told them.

Suddenly Tony cleared his through, which immediately made you flinch and squeeze Loki's hand as hard as you could, he didn't say anything. Tony pushed his chair back and got up. For a moment you thought that he might leave the room but then he headed towards you. He put a hand on your shoulder and you looked up at him.

"Kid, if that is what will make you happy then we will support your decision to the fullest." He told you with a soft smile on his lips.

"What?" You asked in confusion. "Maybe you didn't hear me right. I am about to move. To a different planet. With this guy nonetheless." You pointed at Loki.

"Thank you darling." He commented.

"No, we heard you alright." Steve looked at you with the same smile that Tony had. Honestly, this was getting a bit scary.

"We just want you to be happy Y/n." Nat added.

"So you don't mind?" Something was definitely going on here.

"Of course we mind you idiot!" Bucky said, a bit stiffly.

"What Bucky here means is," Tony tried to explain while sending Bucky a death glare. "that we know how much you've been through kid, and we just want you to be calm and happy and we don't really care where that is."

"And of course we will miss you." Steve added. "But you can't let our feelings get in the way of your happiness."

Their words really touched you. Of course they wanted you to be happy, that's what every family wanted for its members. You stood up and hugged Tony as tight as you could. Gods, you loved all of them so much.

"I am going to miss you so much kid." You suddenly heard him whisper in your ear.

"I will miss you too, Tony." You whispered back.

Tony quickly pulled away and looked at you, wide eyed. He looked almost in...shock? Was it because you had said that you would miss him? Didn't he know that already? Why was he looking at you like that?

"Tony what is it?" You asked him. almost terrified at this point.

"Y/n I never said that I'd miss you."

"Okay what? That is rude. You can at least-"

"No you idiot!" He snapped. "Sorry. I mean that I never said it." Tony said, highlighting the word 'said'. "Kid I only thought about it."

The realization hit you very quickly. You had just read Tony's mid!

"Oh my God!" You exclaimed.

"What is it?" Loki stood up and asked you.

"What is happening guys?" Pietro asked, equally worried.

"I just read Tony's mind!" You threw your hands in the air and shouted. "My powers are back!"

Everyone got very excited, very quickly. You started jumping around the room, hugging everyone. You really couldn't believe it. You never thought that they would come back in such a random and unexpected moment. You were ecstatic and so were the rest of your family.

You spend the next couple of hours just talking and laughing, with you making everyone think of a random things so you could read their minds and tell them the answer. You did it quite a few times with everyone but no one complained, they knew well how happy you were at that moment.

Which of course was true, you were more happy than you had been in days. You also needed to make sure that what happened was really real and not some kind of imagination that you had, or a random spark of magic that would go away. As silly as it sounded you still couldn't believe that it had happened, you were starting to believe that you would be left powerless for the rest of your life.

After you all left the breakfast table, everyone got back to their daily tasks. You and Loki finally got out of your pajamas and decided to spend your day training outside. Reading minds was easy but you still needed to make sure that your powers were the same as before you lost them.
