"It's an impressive cage but I don't think it was built for me." Loki sneers as he paces the glass cell. "It was made for something a lot bigger and more powerful than you." Tony says from the other side. "I'll get out of here you know." "Yeah I'd like to see you try. Toodaloo." He says as he bites into an apple and walks away. Loki sits on the bench and waits for his escape plan to unfold. He was a little startled when the doors opened but regained his icy composure. He was definitely shocked at what came walking through those doors. A woman in only a men's button down shirt that stopped just below her butt and no shoes. She walked right passed him over to some storage closet to rummage through it. She was bent all the way over giving him a full view of her black lace panties. He didn't want to gawk so he looked away. "Ugh it has to be here somewhere." She huffs to herself. "What has to be somewhere?" Loki asks making his presence known. His voice causes her to jump and hit her head on the shelf above her. She quickly looks in the direction of where the voice came from as she rubs the sore spot on her head. "Sorry I didn't know Tony had anyone in here." She says before looking down at what she's wearing. She quickly pulls the shirt down trying to cover more of her body. "May I ask your name?" "It's (Y/N). Yours?" "That's a pretty name. I am prince Loki of Asgard." "Oh so you're the baddie Tony was telling me about." You laugh as you step closer to the glass separating you from him. "Seems like he tells you a lot. How's your head?" "He lets me in on a few things but that's only because I'm his sister. Im not bleeding so it should be alright." You say rubbing at the sore spot again. "I didn't know there were two Starks." "Yeah not many do. I'm not a hero like Tones. I like to keep a low profile." "That's a shame you're far to beautiful to be in the shadow of your brother. I know that feeling all too well." He sighs and you can see pain in his eyes. "I don't mind it. Allows me to live a some what normal life. I know I probably shouldn't be doing this let alone be talking to you but can I get you anything? Food or some blankets? Just because you're held prisoner here doesn't mean we can't be hospitable." "Oh no thank you I'm alright. Where am I exactly?" "Stark tower slash my house. Hence my wardrobe." You giggle as you gesture to your very limited clothing. "Thank you (Y/N) for your lovely conversation but you should probably get going. Don't want to be caught talking to a baddie." He smiles and it is stunning. "Very true. Hope things work out for you and Tones doesn't beat you up too bad." "Agreed. Maybe I'll see you again." "Maybe." You smile before leaving.
It's a few hours after you left when Tony came back in. "So much for that escape huh." He teases causing Loki to roll his eyes. "These things take time. You of all people should know that Tones." Tony stops in his tracks and stares blankly at the god. Loki is all smiles knowing using that nickname will get his facade to crack. "How do you know that name?" "Oh had a lovely visitor earlier. Your sister is very pretty. How about a deal? I'll leave and never return in exchange for (Y/N). I'm a prince so I can provide and make her very happy. Isn't that what all big brothers want? To see their little sisters happy?" "She will not be used for negotiation." Tony growls as his fits tighten. "Alright then I'll just take her. Make her my personal servant or something." Loki shrugs trying to act indifferent. "You will not touch her."
"(Y/N)? You in here?" He yells through your apartment floor. You walk out of your bedroom only for him to push you back in, almost making you fall. "Sorry but you need to get to the safe room now. You shouldn't have talked to him." He starts throwing some of your things into a bag. "I didn't know he was in there." "Why did you even go in there?" "I was looking for something of mom's." You sigh making Tony stop in his tracks for a second time today. "What was it?" "Her rose necklace. Wanted to wear it for the art gallery benefit. You know how important that was to her." You say as you wipe a tear from your cheek. He brings you into a tight hug. You may have only been 10 when your parents passed but you remember a lot about them. You'd go with your mom to the art gallery benefit every year. "I'll find it but I really need you to get to the safe room ok." He says before letting you go. You nod and start to pack a bag when something shook the building. You both look at each other wide eyed for a moment. "Go now!" Tony yells before running out of your room. You're not too far behind, taking the stairs to the unmarked floor that was reinforced and could withstand a bomb or two being dropped on it. You quickly punched the pin code in to get inside. You hear people running up the stairs before you shut and lock the cement door.
There was no windows in the safe room so you didn't know what was happening. You kept hearing loud bangs and the shake of the building. You tried to see what the news was saying on your phone but since you were in a cement bunker service was weak. The lights went out and that's when you got scared. They weren't supposed to do that. You use your phone flashlight to crawl into the bed then wrap yourself in blankets.
"Jarvis is (Y/N) in the safe room?" Tony asks as he suits up. "Yes but the power is off line. The generator has been damaged. I am unable to fix it sir." "It's ok she can handle the dark just as long as she is safe." He says as he makes his way to where Loki is held. "A safe room you say?" Loki purrs as he emerges from the shadows. "Barton, you know your way around here take me to (Y/N)." "Yes sir." They both make their way down long halls and stairwells until they come to the cement door. "(Y/N)? It's me Clint. Tony sent me to come get you." He shouts loud enough for you to hear him. You thought it odd that he'd have you leave the safe room without coming to get you himself. "It's that bad huh?" You ask through the door. "Yeah he wants you out of the city. Now let's go." Just as you were about to unlock the door you get a text from Tony. "Loki is loose in the tower with Clint don't under any circumstances leave that room." You back away from the door and return to the bed without a sound. Clint on the other hand yells and bangs against it. "Clint is at the door trying to get me to come out." You text back to let him know where they are. "Ok good I'll be there soon."
You hear a strange ringing noise. It was short and quiet but surly not something from in the room. You're about to get up from the bed when Loki walks in from a closet. "Please don't scream I've come to help. Can't you turn off that light it's very bright." He says as he covers his eyes. "I can't the lights in here don't work." Loki sighs then makes his hands glow green. "Can you turn it off now?" You nod and do as he asks. "Why are you in here? And how?" "I have magic and can teleport. I'm trying to get you out of here so you don't get hurt. The battle outside is going sideways and it could cause this building to collapse. I don't want you killed because of my foolish mistake." "How do I know I can trust you?" "Because you are the only person that has been kind to me and I'd like to return the favor before I'm captured and put to death for my crimes." "Put to death? Are they really going to kill you?" You gasp not liking the sound of his prospects. "Not 100% sure but it's likely. I've done lots of bad things in my short time here. That being said I'd like to go knowing I saved at least one person so let's get a move on." You stand and start to walk towards him but suddenly the building shakes. You hear rubble fall onto the roof of the safe room causing a large crack in the cement. You run to his open arms, afraid of you stay there too long the safe room will quickly become unsafe. "Hold on tight." You nod and hook your arms around his shoulders. His hand holds the small of your back and presses you firmly against him. With a green flash and that ringing sound you find yourself on shield's helicarrier. He drops to his knees and puts his hands up. You turn to see Director Furry and everyone pull their weapons on Loki. "Stop please don't hurt him. He saved my life. Don't hurt him!!" You shout trying to cover his body with yours. "Miss Stark please step aside." Fury says as he tries to reach for you. You quickly smack his hand away and crouch down to hold onto Loki again. "Don't touch me. And don't touch him." You growl as he tucks his head into your neck. Next thing you know everything went black.
First there was ringing in your ears. Then blurred vision and pain. You came to on the cold hard ground of a glass cell, identical to the one in the tower. You could see figures, a bench, control panel and maybe a person. You try to focus and you realize it's Loki. He's in a cell next to you, sitting on the ground, his hand pressed against the glass. From the way his chest is heaving and jerking it looks like he is crying. "Loki?" You moan as the pain spikes from you talking. "(Y/N)? Oh darling you're alive. I thought they killed you." "What happened?" You ask as you slowly sit up. "They hit you over the head causing you to black out. They took us to these cells. They put you in here because they think I used the scepter to mind control you. I tried to explain that the scepter is still on the ground and I didn't use it on you. I wouldn't hurt you like that." He sighs as he wipes his face with his sleeve. "I know." His ears perk up an he turns to face you head on. "You do?" You nod scooting closer to him despite the thick glass between you both. The large metal doors slide open, Tony and Fury walk in. Tony quickly opens your cell and rushes to greet you. He helps you to your feet and brings you into a big hug. "I'm so relieved you're alive. My heart stopped when I saw the rubble of the safe room. He didn't hurt you did he? Oh god did he do this?" He asks setting you down and moving your hair to look at the large bruise forming on your temple. "You don't have a heart." You laugh pointing to his arch reactor. "And no Loki was the one that saved me at just the right time. Director eyepatch over there hit me over the head and made me black out." "Why did you hit my sister?" "We didn't know if she was mind controlled like Barton or not. You said if they are hit in the head it frees them. But we have bigger concerns right now." Fury says as he turns to Loki. "Please don't hurt him!" You shout as guards push and shove him. "It's alright darling. I must pay for my crimes. I'm just happy you're safe." Loki manages to say before leaving the room. "Oh Tony they are going to kill him. He doesn't deserve that." You turn into his chest and start to cry. "Why are you so concerned about him? He destroyed half of New York and killed lots of people." "But he saved me. He knew the safe room would collapse, he knew I was in there, he could have let me die just like the rest but he didn't. He said he wanted to repay my kindness. He's not completely evil just misguided. Please make sure he is allowed to go home."
"Now we must return home." Thor says as he and Loki are handed the tesseract capsule. You were driving past then you see them and the rest of the avengers. You quickly get out of your car and hope you're not too late. "Wait!!! Don't go yet!" You run up to a bound and gagged Loki. His eyes soften and you think you can make out a smile. You hug him tight and he gently places his chin on your head. "I never got to thank you properly for the rescue. Glad to see you're alive and going home. Try to behave yourself this time." You giggle as you separate. He holds your hands with his free fingers and closes his eyes. "I don't think I could ever behave. Glad to see you before I leave. You know I never noticed how small you are. You're quite a little one aren't you." He teases as he uses magic to place his voice in your head. "It's only because you're so tall. You better get going maybe you could visit me sometime. Be safe Loki." You kiss his cheek which caused everyone's eyes to widen. You stand next to Tony as you watch the Asgardians leave.
"I understand what I did was wrong and I hope to become a better person by learning from my mistakes." Loki says as he humbly kneels before Odin and Frigga. Odin is speechless but Frigga knows exactly what caused his change of heart. "He met someone down there. He wants to do better for them." She whispers in the all fathers ear. His expression softens at the thought of his youngest son finding something he cares about more than a throne. Loki did time in prison and really showed improvement once released.
It's been years since the battle of New York. You were getting ready for the art gallery benefit when there was a knock on your bedroom door. You are surprised to find Tony when you open the door. "Thought you were at the compound." "I was but I wanted to see what outfit you picked for tonight." He says as you let him in. With your back turned you heard a familiar ringing sound. You quickly turn to see Loki in an all black suit. "Hello little one. It's been awhile." He smiles and you couldn't help but rush into his arms. He hugs you tight and spins you around. "I missed you so much." You laugh as he puts you back on your feet. "Really?" "Of course. I always thought about you. Hoped you were doing well. Look at you you haven't aged a day." "Neither have you." "Pffff yeah right look at these lines." You gesture to your wrinkles on your face. "Oh stop. You look beautiful." He coos pulling your hands away from your face to kiss them. "I see the building has changed and much of the city. I guess I helped out with that." He nervously laughs but you can tell he holds so much regret. "Hey leave the past in the past. Yes we rebuilt but we also got on with our lives. You can too." You place your hand on his cheek and he leans into it. "So anyone special going with you tonight?" "Well you of course since you're dressed for it." You tease as you sit at your vanity. "Oh this? I just like how it fits. You sure it's ok for your art gallery?" "Absolutely you look dashing. Good thing it's black, we'll be able to match well." You smile as you start to apply makeup. Loki takes a seat on the edge of your bed and watches. "So tell me what's new with you?" "Nothing exciting. I have my duties back home but that's about it. You?" "I'm an aunt now. That's little Morgan." You say as you show a picture of her on your phone. "Wow so Tony settled down I see." "Yeah finally." "What about you? Have you thought of finding someone to settle down with?" He asks as he stands and looks at you through the mirror. "Eh there have been prospects but no one quite right yet. Most men only want me for my money or to get in good with Tony. Besides I have more fun doing my own thing. Living my own life. What about you? A princess or prince back home?" "There is one but she lives on a different realm." "That's wonderful news Loki. Now I should probably get dressed." You laugh as you gesture for him to leave the room. He leaves and you sink back down in your chair. "Damn. I wish I was that girl." You sigh as all of your hopes of holding out for him evaporate. You sulk for a moment before stepping into your dress. "Well let's be off." You say as you come out of your room in a one shoulder black floor length gown with gold accents at the shoulder and waist. "Wow darling you look divine." He says as he gets up from his place on the couch. "Thank you. Now let's go mingle with snobbish rich people, drink champagne and look at art." You tease as you grab your purse and keys.
You could hear the whispers when you both walked in. It's quite shocking to see you with a date. "Do you think people recognize me? Is that why we've been getting looks?" He asks as you pick up two champagne glasses. "No they are just shocked to see me with someone. Doubt they know who you are. There wasn't much footage of your face when it happened. Relax you're just a lucky guy that has me on his arm." You tease as you hook your arm around his. Acquaintances started coming up to you to strike conversation and to find out who this mystery man is. You gave them no detail besides him being an old friend. You both walk through the different exhibits, drinking and snacking on hor d'oeuvres. "This is the newest collection. A Norwegian artist that creates art from mythology stories. But I'm guessing you could already tell huh." You giggle as you walk into the exhibit and Loki's face lights up. He was in awe of the beautiful paintings of Asgard, the other realms and things from his childhood. He tells you about the various scenes and the funny stories he has to go with them. He was all smiles and chuckles until you both stopped at a painting of a woman. A tall blonde haired woman in a blue gown and silver armor. You could see tears in his eyes as he stared at the image. "That is the goddess of marriage and all mother Frigga." A man's voice says behind you. You turn but Loki stays frozen in his place. "Ah Leif you have such an amazing talent." You hum as you hug and kiss his cheeks. "Thank you Miss Stark. I'm grateful my work is displayed here. That's all thanks to you." "Oh please I've told you to call me (Y/N)." He nods and Loki turns to him and offers a tight smile. Leif leaves to mingle with other people and you turn back to Loki. "She wasn't just goddess of marriage and all mother. She was my mother." He breathes as tears run down his cheeks. "I'm so sorry Loki. I remember Thor telling us." You pull him into a hug to try to sooth him. "The painting looks just like her. It's crazy how he knew what she looked like." He sighs as you hand him a handkerchief from your purse. The gallery curator and Leif come to you and let you know it's time for your speech. You tell them you'll be there in a moment. "Do you think I can still hear you if I stay in here?" Loki asks as the other guests start to file out. "Of course. They hook my mic up to the sound system throughout the building. You stay here with her." You say before kissing his cheek and making your way out.
He stands there alone, laser focused his mother. You start your speech, welcoming guests and thanking them for their generous donations. You talk about how important art is and how your mother held the first benefit and you vow to continue her work. Loki can hear all of this and he wishes to be more like you. "I wish I could make you proud like (Y/N) and her mother. You know I try so hard everyday to be good. I wish you could see how far I've come." He says to himself but someone heard him. "I think all mothers are proud of their children in one way or another. I know you've had some rough patches but you changed for the better." Lokis head snaps in the direction of the voice where he finds Leif. He puts his hands up as a sign of peace. "Yes I know who you are and I promise I won't tell anyone." "How?" "Just like how I've created all of these. I've seen worlds far beyond my own. I've met incredible people." Leif says as he gestures to the portrait of Frigga. Loki nods before turning to catch the last of your speech. "We should probably go see her." He smiles as he places a hand on Leif's shoulder. You were just about to introduce the artist when you saw them both stand in the back of the crowd. You and Leif traded spots and he started his opening remarks.
"You ok?" "Yes thank you. Sorry for my crying hope I didn't ruin your dress or something." "Not at all you silly man." You giggle as you playfully shove him with your shoulder. "There are no men like me." He rasps in your ear before kissing it. You pull away a little shocked at his action. "Excuse me sir. Isn't there a princess on another realm you should be doing that to?" "Umm yes that realm being Midgard and that princess being you." "What?" You gasp as he pulls you into an empty room. "Your kindness to me all of those years ago really strung a cord. I surrendered myself that day because I wanted to be a better person because of it. I thought why can't I be like her. Then I realized I wanted to be like you because I felt something between us. Something warm and bright. Later mother said it was love that I felt and seeing you again really confirms it. I love you (Y/N). Probably ever since I first saw you when you walked in that room with a man's dress shirt and no shoes." You were speechless just standing there in a daze. The only thing you could think of doing is kiss him. Standing on your tippy toes you give him a quick peck. After he gets the idea he holds you close giving you a proper kiss. "You don't know how happy I am to hear you say that Loki." You say as you separate and walk back out into the crowd. "And you don't know how scared I was to say it."
With the night winding down you say your goodbyes and head home. "You're welcome to stay the night." You say as you start to take down your hair. "Oh goodie. I didn't want to leave you in the first place." He laughs as he takes off his shoes and jacket. "Well just make yourself comfy." He turns his back so you can change into pajamas. Once in bed you let him know it's safe to look. "I sleep in boxers. Is that ok?" "Didn't I just say make yourself comfy?" You tease as you look through your phone. Loki undresses and you get a text from Tony. "How was the benefit?" "Great raised more money than ever. Mom would be amazed." "I bet she would. Maybe next year you can take Morgan." "Ooooo that would be fun. Heading to bed. Talk later." You type to Tony when Loki slides in between the sheets. You both cuddle close to each other before kissing. Starting with playful little pecks working up to a hot make out. Your phone buzzing all the while with Tony's texts. "Excuse me who is this?" He asks sending paparazzi pictures of you and Loki at the benefit. "(Y/N) answer me." "I swear to god if that's who I think it is." Your phone buzzes so much it falls off the nightstand. You pay no mind to it as Loki sides a leg between yours and his hands start to roam your body.
