NOT SO DIFFERENT - a Loki x reader story

Chapter One

This isn't what i expected.

It wasn't ment to go like this.

My vision was blurry as I frantically stumbled around. Everything was to loud. The alarms blared as men and women ran around me. I tried to push myself of the ground but my arms gave way. I felt someone pull on my arm and i looked up to see a man dressed in a white lab coat. I focused my eyes on him. He was speaking to me. I couldn't hear what he was saying my ears were still ringing but the pull on my arm became more aggressive. It hurt. I used the little energy i had to focus on what he was saying.

"Get up." He spat the words. "Get up!" He pulled my arm with so much force that it felt as if he was going to tear it off. Everything hurt, my whole body ached and everything felt so disoriented. The man pulled at my arm again and i try to push myself of the ground. I stood for a minuet and looked around. I didn't know what was happening but i knew following this man was not a good idea. So, i pulled my arm out of his grip. And slowly backed away from him. My head felt like it was spinning.

"What are you doing!" The man say to me with much more anger that concern. He walked forward and my eyes widened as he raised a hand preparing to bring it down on me-

I woke up.

I clawed at my neck frantically ,in instinct, at my hair that had been tangled round it in the night. Sweat covered my whole body as I brought my knees up, wrapping my arms around them and resting my head against them as I let my breathing level out.

It took me a minute but I managed to calm myself down. I counted mentally how many times it had been that week that my sleep had been interrupted by nightmares as I made my way to my shower. At least 6 so far.

Usually I tend to avoid sleep when I can but I passed out on a night patrol of the city last week and had to rely on my suit to get me home. So I'm at least trying to get more sleep.

I live on my own, in New York. I moved here into a new apartment after the attack last year. The god responsible for it had since been declared innocent but that didn't change the fact it had become a popular destination for criminals. I've been a vigilante under the name of Killshot for a couple years now. I make my own suits and weapons and I work alone. Technically my job isn't really legal as what I do isn't overseen by someone who holds enough power already but I'm only helping people, and the public love me so I'm not going to stop.

I turn my shower on and undress, stepping into it and washing the sweat off of myself. When I step out I dry myself of before changing into some clothes and checking the time, it was a little after half five in the morning so I went and got my suit ready at my desk.

Recently I have been developing a second suit that I've made with nanotechnology more accustomed to my powers and it seemed it was finally ready to use. When it wasn't in use it appeared as a headset that I could wear on the back of my head, it was a thin band barely visible if it weren't for the two circular buttons that were hidden behind my ears and covered by my hair. Once I had it on I reached my hands up and simultaneously pressed the buttons the nanotech took action and quickly spread down my body. The suit covered me almost completely but it left the back of my head open for my hair. I stretched my arms out, my suit successfully morphing around them and I smiled in delight. It took a second for my ai to properly work though so I made a note to look into that but my vision quickly lit up as it greeted me.

I turned on the security systems for my apartment before climbing out the window and kicking of the side of the building steadying myself in the air as I got used to using my powers in the new suit.

My powers included the basic enhanced strength and speed but also telekinesis. I also have the power to manipulate energy but to be honest, I'm not really sure of the extent of it as it's one of my abilities I don't really use as much.

I started of with some rounds of the city, in the early mornings there wasn't really much going but I still managed to intercept some petty robbery's and other minor crimes.

As the day goes on it's still relatively quiet until my suit alerts me to a bank robbery a block or two away from me. I make my way over there and just manage to intercept them before they have a chance to grab any hostages or cash and I tie them up easily. After checking no one was injured I made my way out using my telekinesis to bring the robbers with me. But as I walk out the door and look up I freeze.

I was completely surrounded by law enforcement and had a lot of guns pointing at me. Suddenly there's a loud noise and I look up to see a quinjet hovering above me. A QUINJET.

Before I realise what's even happening the avengers are in front of me and I go to speak still completely confused as to what is going on.

"What the fu-"

Suddenly a pain hits me and spreads through my body, and before I get the chance to scold myself for being so easy to hit, black dots are swarming my vision.
