A/N: Hey guys! I am working on Bound but also had this idea for a fic in my head for a WHILE now, so I started writing it! Please note that a future chapter does contain dubcon.
I'm also on Patreon, Tumblr, etc., if you want to follow/support me elsewhere! https://linktr.ee/thesilverdoe
"Has anyone seen Loki lately?" Steve asked one Saturday afternoon. Tony Stark, Natasha, Clint, Bruce, and you were all hanging around the lounge area in the penthouse of Stark Tower when Steve had walked in and posed the question.
You still couldn't believe that you were The Avengers' assistant and that you regularly spent time with them in Stark Tower. You started as an intern for S.H.I.E.L.D. back as a senior in high school years ago and now, here you were, filling out reports and helping the Avengers out in any way you can.
"Don't tell me you're complaining about it," Clint responded. "This is the most peaceful it's been in a while."
He laid his head back and slumped deeper into the couch.
"You're not worried, are you, Cap?" Tony said teasingly.
"About the guy who tried to take over Earth a few years back and now has access to highly confidential S.H.I.E.L.D. secrets? Yeah, I could say I'm a little worried."
"I think he's just been in his room all this time," you piped up. You were busy multitasking eating a sandwich and going over some S.H.I.E.L.D. documentation that Coulson decided to drop on you last minute.
"Yeah, he's just been kind of keeping to himself," Bruce said. "Well, except for..."
He rubbed the back of his neck.
"Except for what?" Natasha asked, turning her head, finally looking up from the magazine she was reading. However, you were fairly certain she was listening the entire time.
"Well, last night. Or the other night, I can't remember — it doesn't matter. Anyway, the other night I got hungry and went for a midnight snack, and when I came to the kitchen, Loki was there too. He had the fridge open, but he wasn't looking for anything. He just had his eyes closed and just... stood in front of the open freezer. It was only for a second and then he noticed I was there, so he shut the fridge and went back to his room."
"Maybe he was sleepwalking?" You asked.
Bruce shrugged, then shook his head. "I dunno, but also when he saw me he kind of... snarled. I thought I imagined it because I was half awake, but maybe he did."
"Okay, that is weird," Tony said, shoveling some chips into his mouth.
"Should we tell Thor about this?" Steve asked.
"And say what?" Tony asked. "Hey Thor, sorry to bother you while on your vacation with Jane but Loki was standing in the fridge and he kinda growled at Bruce. Is he evil again? Please advise."
Steve crossed his arms. "I just think someone should check on him at the very least. When is the last time anyone has seen him, aside from Bruce?"
The room fell quiet as the cogs in people's brains turned.
"Monday," Natasha said.
"Monday, yeah," Clint said.
"Sunday, I think," Tony offered.
"Monday for me too," you said.
"Ok, Sunday or Monday. Today's Saturday. That means no one has seen him in almost a week, except for Bruce the other night. Something must not be right."
