♔—- “I can’t say I’m surprised with the beating you just took,” Loki murmured, lowering himself down beside his assistant. He tried to keep the panic off of his face, but Wynter… Gods, she looked terrible, and he hadn’t been there to defend her. Iron Man, a world-renowned superhero, genius, and futurist, and he couldn’t even be there to endure that the people closest to him were left unscathed. 

What was worse? The knowledge that whoever had done this, whoever had broken into his home, had likely been looking for him, had likely wanted to beat him, steal from him, kill him–Wynter had nothing to do with it, an innocent bystander in the way of a villainous plot.

He couldn’t even be bothered to linger on what might have been stolen, what damage might have been done to his property. None of that mattered, because Wynter’s blood pooled beneath her, staining the white and gray marble in a vicious crimson that made his stomach twist. Squeamish had never been a word Loki would use to describe himself, but knowing whose blood it was mattered? Seeing the aftermath of a vicious attack and knowing if he didn’t do anything she would die?

Yeah, the desire to lean over and hurl the Chinese takeout he’d eaten sometime in the middle of the night when he’d been in his lab rather than sleeping like he should have been.

He’d only stepped out for a few hours that morning! How could this have happened in such a short time? And without Jarvis alerting him? He’d already called to Jarvis, tried to get his AI to respond or call for help, but Jarvis’ systems were down. Whoever broke into his estate knew exactly what they were doing and that terrified him almost as much as Wynter bleeding out before him did.

“Help’s on the way, Wyn,” he murmured. It would have been faster to pick her up and fly her to the hospital with the Iron Man suit, but Loki didn’t think her body could handle that sort of shock to the system, not in her current condition. He’d likely only hurt her further, so he called for help and gathered plush, soft towels to apply pressure on her wounds. 

“Keep talking to me, okay?” he instructed. “You need to stay awake. The best way to keep yourself conscious is to talk, so let’s talk? About anything you want, just keep talking. Keep talking, please…”

📖📷 💋 🔪 💌 💬 💀 (Doesn't all have to be the same verse c: )

{ @lxvingdeadgxrl } || send me a symbol to see what my muse would say about yours – status; accepting

📖 for what my muse would write about yours in their diary. (from the POV of Loki talking to JARVIS to transcribe a recorded diary of sorts)

     “I’m really not even sure what to do anymore, honestly. I know exactly how I feel about Wynter but if I cross that line… Damn. I shouldn’t be worried about crossing lines, should I? I should be worried about how someone else is going to interpret what I’m doing or if it’s wrong. I’ve never cared about that sort of thing with anything else. Hence all those scandals that are written about me in the tabloids and whether or not I’m this, that, or whatever…

     “But with Wynter? I mean, she’s my employee, technically. Even I’ve never crossed that line before. I’ve never slept with someone who works for me, but then again, it’s not about sex with Wyn, is it? No… I want the whole deal. The relationship. The dates. The possibility to get married and have kids someday. I want all that.

     “And yet, I’m so inexperienced with literally all of that. I don’t know what it’s like to date someone and be committed to them. I don’t know what it’s like to love someone and hold onto them for as long as I possibly can. I don’t… get it? More importantly, I don’t think anyone deserves to date someone like me. Gods, that would just make them miserable? That’s the last thing I’d ever want to do to Wyn. She must already be miserable working for me. How could she ever be happy being my girlfriend?

     “I really am in a pickle here, aren’t I? A pickle… who ever says that anymore? What does that even mean?”

📷 for what my muse would say to the paparazzi about yours. (from the POV of Loki being questioned after Cap and her friends go missing)

     “All I can say for certain is that I don’t know where Wynter is. I haven’t had contact with her since her disappearance. I have no information, nor do I have any contact with her. All I know for certain is that you’ve all turned this into a witch hunt. Captain America is a figure to be loved by all, but under that uniform is a person. A good person who always does right by her people. No matter where she is or what she’s doing, I believe in her.” A few reporters tried to get Loki’s attention, but he waved his hand to silence them. “No more questions, please. I have nothing else to say on the matter.”

💋 for what my muse would say to the person trying to woo your muse. (from the POV of Loki out on a date with Wynter)

     “Wow…” Loki murmured, a brow arching in the mortal’s direction as he not only ordered a drink for Wynter, but came up alongside her and leaned against the bar to engage her in conversation. The way his eyes were glued to her chest indicated that he wanted something far more than just a simple, pleasant conversation. “You do realize that she is here with someone, right?”

     “And your point is, pretty boy?” the stranger asked, his eyes only leaving Wyn for a moment to glare at Loki. “Trying to claim her like she belongs to you or something?”

     “No. She doesn’t belong to me. She’s her own person and she doesn’t need me hanging around to prove how wonderful she is. Most of all, she deserves respect and judging by how you’re so keen on treating her like a pair of breasts, you have no respect for her at all.” He took up the drink that the man ordered for her as the bar tender set it down on the bar and sniffed it for a moment. His nose crinkled with displeasure. “And, if you’re really going to try to woo a woman, at least pay for the good liquor,” he added as he reached over and literally dumped the contents onto the shorter man.

🔪 for the eulogy my muse would give for yours. (from the POV of Loki being forced to bury Wynter after Midgard is attacked)

     Mortal ceremonies of death were confusing to Loki. The concept of a typical funeral on Midgard was so vastly different from what he experienced that he didn’t really know what to do, how to present himself, or how to interact with the other people that showed up. All of his friends were there. They traveled all the way from Asgard to help fight Thanos’ attack on Midgard and when Loki’s fiance went down on the battlefield, not a single one of them could bring themselves to leave him.

     In truth, he was thankful for that, because the moment his eyes fell upon her lifeless corpse splattered with her own blood and the blood of her enemies, his entire world shattered. He finally allowed himself to open up to another person, to love and accept love, and now that person who had given him so much was gone. There was nothing he could do to save her, nothing he could do that would bring her back in perfect condition. Any method he had to raise Wynter from the dead wouldn’t truly bring the woman back to life. She’d be a shell of her former self and he just…

     Broke.

     And now all eyes were looking at him to offer some words on Wynter’s behalf. He knew what to say because he felt in his heart everything there was to feel for the woman in the coffin at the head of the room, but he didn’t want to get up in front of all these people. They pitied him or they hated him or they blamed him. More than that, he wasn’t even sure he could speak. His voice left him the day Wynter died, hardly able to bring himself to say a word. 

     Slowly, he pulled himself to the small podium in front of the open casket. He paused near the edge of her coffin just so he could look down at her. She… looked like she was sleeping, more than anything, but that just made his heart ache more. 

     “I… I don’t really know what to say,” he started as he finally stood in front of the podium and rested his hands on it. “Normally, I never have an issue finding words. I can talk circles around just about everyone and everything, but now… I have so much to say but no voice to say it with.” And he wasn’t entirely wrong. His voice was quite and weak, hardly audible to the people in the back of the room. 

     “The woman behind me was the most important person in my life and she died protecting her home, her people, and people she didn’t even know. She died alongside heroes who will never be as much of a hero as she is. When I first met Wynter, I thought that I could just get to know her and hope to use her as some sort of ally, but it quickly became evident to me that nothing in the world would ever matter as much as she did. I never knew a single person more loving, forgiving, understanding, and passionate as Wynter. She held so much power and had so many opportunities to let darkness consume her, but never once did she fall from grace. She deserved better than this. She deserves to be here right now, celebrating with us in our victory instead of moving on to the next life. She…”

     For most of his little speech, his voice had been low and quiet, but it was steady. Now, however, tears finally flooded his eyes. The reality of the situation had been on his shoulders since the moment he saw her body but now it hit him like a thousand of Thor’s hammers at once. Loki would never see Wynter again and he would likely live for thousands of years knowing that he couldn’t save her. Why did this keep happening to the people that he loved so much? 

     “I’m sorry… I can’t…” 

     Loki didn’t say another word before Fandral, the blonde scoundrel that Loki once harbored so much affection for, leaped to his feet and went to Loki’s side. He wrapped an arm around Loki and pulled him to his side. “I think Loki’s been through enough. Perhaps someone else has some kind words for our beloved Wynter?” the swordsman said to the crowd before slowly pulling Loki away from the podium and the casket. Loki, in his sorrow and his tears, couldn’t even begin to form a protest, so he stepped away with Fandral.

💌 for a letter my muse would write to yours. (from the POV of Loki being too damned shy to as Cap out on a date)

Dear Wynter,

     Or Wyn… Or Cap…

     I don’t want to sound too formal, but now I just sound like an idiot. Wow, okay, maybe I should have just done this in person. But I would have looked like an idiot then too. Okay, let me just cut to the chase and make this short since, apparently, I can’t do anything right.

     Will you have dinner with me tonight? Not dinner-to-discuss-business. Not super-hero stuff. Just you. Me. A quiet little restaurant and a bottle or two of champagne? What do you say, Spangles?

💬 for a text my muse would send to yours to a third party. (from the POV of Fandral texting Loki about hooking up with him and Wynter… Again)

[ text; Fandral the Dashing Scoundrel ]; Honestly, Fan, I don’t know if Wynter’s going to be interested in doing something like that again or not. I’d have to ask her.[ text; Fandral the Dashing Scoundrel ]; I do know that she enjoyed herself a great deal but I don’t know that she’ll want to make it a regular thing, you know?[ text; Fandral the Dashing Scoundrel ]; If I didn’t know any better, I’d say that you’re trying to steal her from me. That’s really rude and you absolutely cannot have her.

💀 for what my muse would say upon hearing about your muse’s death. (from the POV of Loki finding out the Cap died on one of her assignments)

     “That’s… not funny, Nat…” Loki murmured, but Natasha, despite her sarcastic nature and the way she teased just about everyone, was dead serious about this. The assassin’s eyes reflected pain and deep sorrow, but she was firm and hard as she gazed at Loki, silently reassuring him that he words were not only true but the very fabric of reality. 

     “Oh my Gods, I… How?” That was all he could say, really, as that dreaded numbness spread from the reactor in his chest and down through his limbs. It wasn’t that he didn’t have more to say, the Avenger was just in shock and he couldn’t quite process the idea that Captain America–no, that Wynter, his friend, was dead and gone.

     “What the Hel are we going to do, Nat? How can we even… go on? Why are we still here if she’s not? That’s not… that’s not right…”

“Breathe. Come on… breathe, please…”

♔—- The suit hadn’t malfunctioned, per se. It worked exactly as it had been intended to, but it hadn’t been strong enough to withstand the blast. No matter what Loki did or how he modified his tech, it seemed like something always came along at some point or another that would force him back to square one. 

     Nothing had been quite this bad in a long, long time, though. Sure, he had a number of near-death experiences, ones that he never seemed to be allowed to forget. Whether it was his friends, his girlfriend, or his own nightmares, it hardly mattered anymore. Those close calls, his failures, his increasing inability to prepare for the worst? It all terrified him, made him work longer hours, try to predict more and more end games, took away even more hours of sleep.

     As days ticked to weeks, weeks to months, and months to years, it seemed like he fell short more and more and his mental health declined along with his shortcomings. He didn’t sleep right, didn’t eat right, drank a bit too much when things got really bad, and just didn’t take care of himself. He found himself too wrapped up in trying to take care of everyone and everything else to worry about himself.

     And now he plummeted from the sky, consciousness lost and the suit too damaged to function even remotely properly. Crashing hard into the land below the blast, Loki slid across the ground, his back leaving a long, shallow path in the dirt that led to where his body and the piece of the armor that remained intact came to a final resting place. His mask had been broken away, as well as most of the helmet and protective pieces around his neck and upper chest. Blood seeped from a large gash that seemed to split his skull from the back.

     Anyone would have assumed him dead. Even the rise and fall of his chest was so shallow that it hardly looked like it moved with his breath. Although he wasn’t dead, chances are, he wouldn’t survive long. Anyone would have written him off as a lost cause, but Wynter? Yeah right. Someone would have to pull her away kicking and screaming and bless that poor person because they’d end up with a bloody nose or a broken arm or something.

     “Ms. Davenport,” a voice crackled from a broken bit of armor off to the right side of Loki’s head. A bit of the communication device Loki used with the helmet. Jarvis’ voice came in a broken and distorted voice, but Gods was he there, trying his best to get through to the only person who could likely get Loki the help he needed. “He is alive, but barely. The bleeding –” Crackle. “–slowed and he–” Crackle. “Internal–”

     Then the voice died.

♔—- “Oh, you’ve jumped out of planes a thousand times by now and I’ve been nice enough to give you a parachute. Don’t you normally just leap out with your shield on your back?” Loki asked as the mask of his latest Iron Man suit slid down over his face, sealing him completely behind the metal armor. “Don’t worry, it’ll be fun. Just think of it like a game. Last one to the ground buys dinner or something like that.” Without another word, Loki took off out the opened hatch of the plane, his thrusters allowing him to fly seamlessly through the air.

“What the fuck am I supposed to do now?

♔—- “Listen, Cap, we all make mistakes sometimes. Even Captain America can’t be perfect. So instead of us insisting on keeping up this charade after you basically spilled to Natasha that we’re dating, why don’t we just tell them the truth? They’ve all been expecting it for years anyway.”
