"Lady YN, your sister has requested your presence in the court room." YN rolled her eyes as she huffed, nodding her head.
"Tell her I will be there in a moment." The guard nodded, walking away as YN looked around, smirking as she slid the last of her belongings in the bag, clapping her hands to make it morph into an inconspicuous book.
She walked into the court room, groaning as she saw Sif and her friends hovering by the throne. "YN, honestly. If I call you, I expect a prompt arrival." Rolling her eyes, YN crossed her arms.
"What is it, sister?" She muttered, raising her brow. "I was busy."
"Thor and I would like to discuss something with you." Huffing, YN threw her hands up.
"Well, spit it out." Sif frowned, shaking her head.
"The King has requested someone to befriend Loki and watch over him, keep him company while learning his motives behind the Battle of New York." YN screwed up her face, shaking her head.
"I thought we already determined he was just one upturned nose away from mass murder?" Thor stood to his feet, an unimpressed look on his face.
"Lady YN, that is no way to speak about the Prince of Asgard." YN huffed with a shrug.
"Well, I'm not doing it." She turned on her heel, attempting to walk out of the room.
"King Odin has promised you freedom from Asgard if you do this." YN stopped, swallowing harshly. She closed her eyes, mulling it over.
"He will swear to it, an unbreakable oath?" Sif nodded, locking eyes with YN.
"If you wish to leave after you have broken Loki's walls down, you may." YN bit the inside of her cheek, hating that Sif had sifted through her desires to find the right motivation. "But you must stay until Loki has admitted his wrong doings."
Giving up, YN tipped her head back, groaning. "Fine, but we do this my way." Thor nodded, a gracious smiling lighting up his face.
"I appreciate-"
"Yeah, whatever. Show me the way." YN grumbled following Sif and Thor toward the cells. She stayed a few paces behind the two larger Asgardians, her hands fiddling in front of her.
"Hello brother, we have brought you some company." YN rolled her eyes, shaking her head as Loki scoffed. "Be nice to her."
"No promises, brother." YN snickered, earning a warning glare from her sister. Thor and Sif walked off, leaving YN staring at the raven-haired man behind the cell wall. "And who might you be?"
"YN." Loki cocked his head, raising his eyebrows. "Don't look at me like that." She growled, sitting on the ground and crossing her legs.
"Why are you here?" YN bit the inside of her mouth, debating on what to tell the prince.
"They told me to get close to you so that I can get off of this God forsaken planet." Loki huffed, shaking his head and sitting in front of YN, behind the wavering glass.
"And where will you go, once I bare my soul to you?" YN shrugged, dragging her finger along the concrete below her.
"No plans, as long as I can get away from this place and my overbearing sister." Loki nodded, a small smirk on his lips.
"Lady Sif is definitely a force." YN scoffed, leaning back on arms. "Why do you not enjoy our realm, Lady YN?"
"Why don't you?" Loki frowned, leaning forward.
"Who says I don't like Asgard?" YN scoffed, chuckling softly.
"Apologies, your highness, but you did try to rule Midgard, I thought it might have been the want for a change of scenery." Loki licked his lips, looking away.
"None of the sorts." He muttered, casting his enchanting eyes back to YN's. "I was born to rule." YN nodded, making a face.
"Weren't we all." She murmured, rolling her eyes. "Look, I don't really care about your tragic backstory or your shameful past, I just really want to see the look on Odin's face when I get the hell out of dodge." Loki frowned, intertwining his fingers as he stared at the smaller woman.
"You speak like a Midgardian." YN smirked, shrugging her shoulders as Loki put the pieces together. "You're going to Earth?"
"It's on the table." Loki nodded, patting his knee. "I visit frequently, their lives are much more... carefree. There's no destiny, no birth rights to become a warrior or a boiler. You can be who you want to be."
"And who would you like to be, Lady YN?" YN sighed, looking down to her hands.
"Free. I have lived my life in the shadow of Sif, constantly compared to her skill, her beauty." YN scoffed, shrugging her shoulders. "I do not wish to be a warrior any longer. I am done fighting for a King who does not care for his soldiers."
Loki grinned, a plan forming in the back of his head. "Get me out of here." YN frowned, raising an eyebrow.
"Excuse me?" Loki nodded, getting to his feet and looking down on YN.
"You really want to even the playing field?" Loki smirked, stepping up to the barrier. "Let me out. Take me with you."
"You want me to take you back to the planet you nearly destroyed?" Loki poked the inside of his cheek with his tongue, staring at YN with a deadpan look. "No way."
"It was not my intention to cause such chaos on Midgard. The Tesseract is a powerful energy source, it sucks you into your desires. I could not contain my own impulses." Loki said, lowering his gaze.
"You're saying you had no choice." Loki shook his head, frowning.
"Not necessarily. All I'm saying, is that with that much power pulsing through your veins, it is hard to deny yourself your greatest desires." YN nodded, getting to her feet.
"I do not see how I would be able to release you, anyhow. They will not trust me enough." She said, shrugging her shoulders.
"I have an idea."
------------------------------------
"He wants to go where?" Thor asked, furrowing his eyebrows. "Absolutely not."
"Thor, please. It's been nearly three months and I cannot get him to talk to me other than his expressive want to visit the library." YN groaned, clasping her hands in front of her as she stared up at the blonde man. "I will take good care of him, I swear. I'll watch him like a hawk."
"Like a what?" YN puffed out a breath, turning her back to roll her eyes. "Never the matter, I can release him into your care for the afternoon, but it cannot be brought to my father's attention, do you understand?" YN bit her lip to repress a relieved grin, nodding her head.
"Understood, your highness." YN watched Thor sigh, rubbing his face before the two of them headed toward Loki's cell, YN a few paces behind Thor with a huge smile on her lips. Loki rose to his feet with an unamused lift of his brow.
"Hello brother, Lady YN." YN didn't anything as Thor looked up to his brother.
"Lady YN has generously decided to accompany you to the library that you insisted om visiting." Loki sighed, nodding his head. "But you must remain in restraints."
"Of course, brother." Loki said, running his tongue along his teeth. "Thank you for the generosity, Lady YN."
"Of course, your highness." YN smiled politely, but Loki saw straight through it, forcing away his own grin of success. Thor left after letting down the barriers and clasping Asgardian cuffs around Loki's wrists. YN watched Loki step down in front of her, her heart speeding up. "You're taller than I remember." YN said, her eyes grazing up Loki's figure.
"And you are much more ravishing without that barrier in place." YN raised an eyebrow, a small smirk adorning her lips.
"Is that meant to make me blush?" Loki narrowed his eyes with an amused huff. "Let's move."
"How are you planning to remove my restraints?" YN snickered as they walked through the halls, Loki remaining in front of YN to make it seem as though she were guarding him.
"Patience. Anyone would think this is your first time." YN bit her lip, resisting a snort of laughter as Loki sent her a glare.
"You know, after three months of listening to you, it doesn't get easier." YN really did let out a laugh at the disgraced prince's words, her shoulders shaking as they walked.
"I know what you mean." She countered, sending a wink Loki's way. As they got closer to the library, YN stopped Loki, looking left and right before she tugged him closer via his restraints. "Hold still."
Loki looked down over YN's face as she messed with his restraints, her concentration face making Loki smile slightly. "You know, I wasn't lying. You are quite beautiful." YN looked up quickly, meeting Loki's blue eyes. She took a deep breath, his eyes making her insides curl in pleasure.
"Save it for the ride home, honey." YN chuckled, waving off his comment with her hand. "Now." YN grunted as the restraints fell to the floor. Loki looked down, astounded at her workmanship. The trickster went to morph a miraged paid onto his wrists but YN clapped her hand and Loki watched them reappear before his eyes.
"You're a shapeshifter." YN hummed, grabbing Loki's arm and pulling him along behind her.
"Of sorts." She muttered, entering the library. "Just wait here and don't act weird." Loki nodded, rolling his eyes as YN scurried off in search for a book.
Loki whistled, rocking back and forth on his toes as he waited. He leant back on his heels as he located YN lifting onto her toes, her shirt riding up to expose her abdomen. Loki poked the side of his cheek with his tongue, pleased with the view of her smooth expanse of skin. As he lifted his gaze back to YN's he caught her staring at him, a blush tinting her cheeks red and a smile pulling at her lips.
She wandered back over, tapping the book in her hand. "Sentimental value?" Loki guessed, making YN shrug.
"Something like that." YN smirked, throwing it into the air, catching it as it waivered and returned to her grasp as a bag. "Now, let's go before we get caught and we both get imprisoned for the rest of our lives."
YN and Loki miraged themselves as guards, stepping out of the library completely disguised. "You know, I prefer you shorter, prettier... a woman. But this look isn't too bad on you." YN gave him an unimpressed look, gripping her staff tighter as a threat. "Right, not the time."
The two shapeshifters walked past the throne room, Loki pausing as he heard his father and brother talking. "Loki, we don't have time." YN whispered harshly, grabbing his arm.
"Just a second." He insisted, leaning against the door.
"Loki is beyond reason, Thor. We cannot discuss the likes of his release until he has repented for his actions on Midgard." Loki flinched, the action making YN's forceful grip turn compassionate.
"Father, he is family. We must believe him when he says he wasn't completely at fault-" Thor tried, his fists clenched at his side. Loki's eyes widened as his brother defended him, his heart feeling heavier by the second.
"Enough, son." Odin finalized, waving the prince off. YN watched Thor shake his head and start to turn.
"Okay, times up. We need to go." Loki allowed YN to pull him away from the door and towards the aircrafts. "Do you know how to drive one of these?" Loki sent her a raised brow. "Right, well. Uh, how hard could it be?" She chuckled, scratching her scalp that was covered in hair that didn't even resemble her own.
"Wait, YN." Loki said as YN started to press button, his eyes closing and his fists clenching. "Are we doing the right thing?"
YN huffed, throwing up a fist as the engine started up. "Well, I know I am. You need to make a decision." Loki stared at her, his raven-hair returning to his head and his face morphing back into his own at the same time YN's did. "Loki, you stay here, you're a prisoner forever."
"And if I come with you?" Loki whispered, stepping forward. "What will I be?"
"Free. Free to live life with..." YN swallowed, looking to her feet. "Whomever you please." Loki lifted YN's chin with his forefinger, smiling down at the shapeshifter.
"And you?" YN swallowed again, a blush coating her cheeks as she lifted her hand to grip his wrist.
"Come with me. We can live a life we deserve. Free from overbearing siblings and a King with no regard for us." Loki stared into YN's eye before leaning forward, placing a chaste kiss on her lips.
"Okay." He breathed, pressing another kiss to the corner of her mouth. "Okay."
YN nodded, grinning as she turned and hit he throttle, laughing as they jetted toward the secret exit. "Hold on, your majesty." She winked over her shoulder, the former prince of Asgard shaking his head at her. "It's going to be one hell of an escape."
