You were surprised when Thor brought Loki to fight with the rest of the team. Not that it was a bad thing. You found yourself incredible attracted to the god, but kept your feelings to yourself. He was cold and sarcastic and you knew that he would never be interested in a measly human like you. His dislike for the human race wasn’t necessarily a secret.
The mission involved a large group of super soldiers created by HYDRA and aliens. You didn’t even want to rationalize how these two groups decided to work together. Instead, you focused on helping beat them and keeping civilians safe.
The fight was long. You all had underestimated how many enemies you would have and the team was definitely on the smaller side in comparison. You shot your gun to as many HYDRA and alien bodies as you could. If anyone crossed your path, you would shoot. You were grateful for thinking of bringing extra ammunition.
You were too preoccupies shooting at whatever was in front of you that you completely forgot to cover your back. You were an agent, you were trained for missions like this and when you heard a bullet shoot and whiz past your ear, you cursed yourself for being so stupid.
“Shit,” you said, turning and shooting at the soldier that shot at you. You fired your gun at him and you watched him go down. Another soldier showed up after him ad you tried to fire, but you were out of rounds. Your heart leaped to your chest as you tried to reload your gun as fast as possible.
You weren’t quick enough and the bullet shot out of the man’s gun in slow motion. The bullet approached you and your limbs felt like cement and you couldn’t even move. You knew that there was no way that bullet wouldn’t hit you.
Until you saw it curve. You questioned gravity, physics, everything you could think of. You couldn’t understand how exactly a bullet curved in mid air, back towards the soldier that shot it. You looked around and were surprised to find Loki making his way towards you.
You glanced at you as he continued to fight, using his magic, and you were slightly confused. He looked upset, but he didn’t say anything, so neither did you. You turned around, finished reloading your gun, and continued to fight
After hours, you were done. The fight was finished and you were grateful the team only suffered minor injuries. You all got lucky this time.
On the way back to the Avengers base, you kept glancing at Loki, who kept staring at you, his brows still furrowed and he looked very upset. You wanted to talk to him, but you felt awkward and you didn’t exactly know what to say to him.
You all arrived to the base and you all started walking towards your rooms.3
