Where My Heart Lies (Loki x OC) - Chapter 4

While he is wreaking havoc, Loki runs into a woman that catches his eye, so he takes her with him. She doesn’t seem to mind at all. Will he let her see the darkest side of him though? Hello :) This is the fourth chapter of the story. Hope you guys enjoy I’m tagging @mrsbellablythe and @queenofchaos7 :)

<<There he is!>> <<I’ve seen him! I’ll get him!>> Thor screamed, launching himself in the air to go after his brother.

A few months had passed from the last time Hayley had seen Loki.

Immediately after plummeting back to Earth -apparently her studies gave her many more powers than she would have hoped for- she had joined the Avengers.

It took a while to make them trust her enough to accept her in the team. After all, she had been Loki’s confidante -she used that word instead of lover, but it seemed ridiculous eve to her. He took away everything from her, kept her out of his business and his heart, while she made the mistake of letting him in hers.

She had to pass a few tests- namely all the members of the team subjecting her to peculiar trials to determine if they could trust her or not.

What she’d learned from her experience with the trickster was that trust built on resentment and harsh feelings was the best, most resilient kind of trust in the world. In fact, she’d developed such a resentment toward the demigod that she was ready to beat him as soon as she set eyes on him, but not kill.

Never kill.

As much as she hated it, the brunette knew her heart belonged to the gold-and-green clad prince; it had from their very first dance. She tried to suppress her feelings, the nagging voice that told her he felt something for her to…

To no avail.

She missed him more with each passing days, and it probably showed on her face every time she spoke of tactics and similar topics with the other superheroes. Maybe that was why they still held some mistrust against her.

Hayley did not really care; she was too sore from getting attached to someone to form new relationships, and part of her still wanted to protect Loki, no matter how many tears she cried for him at night, alone in her room.

Many. Too many, way too many.

The tests she’d been subjected too revealed something she already knew, but it hurt her deeply to be reminded of it. It got to the point where, no matter their suspicions, the Avengers felt something akin to pity for her.

After all she must have been the most unlucky confidante in the world, knowing so little of the other party’s plans.

Even more tears to cry, but she’d grown used to it by then; if anything, they made the superheroes trust her more, even if just a little.

It was still something.

The hardest part in becoming acclimatised to living in the Tower had been Thor.

The blond hunk, like her, was torn between brotherly love and need to surrender to the evidence, since his sibling had apparently embarked on a killing spree to conquer the entire planet. She loved Loki, she really did, with all her heart, but how could she counter his accusations when she had some of her own to make? How could she defend him when she’d seen his work -a small part of it- firsthand? She became more and more horrified with each new particular she discovered about his dealings.

It made her feel scared, somehow even disgusted. How could she fall in love with a- with a  murderer?

Her heart was torn apart into millions of shreds.

Speaking of which, Mjolnir had smashed the strange shuttle-like thing Loki had been floating around on, and now the two brothers were fighting. Somehow, Loki had gotten the upper hand.

The team had not really agreed on a fighting strategy before the battle: currently, most of the others were dealing with Chitauris, but Hayley had other plans, and those plans included a certain raven-haired demigod, for a number of reasons.

First of all, revenge: the image of herself ripping Loki a new one felt immensely satisfactory to the brunette. Then, deep down, there were the true reasons.

She needed answers: she needed to know what she’d done for him to hate her so, and she knew she would not get them if the Avengers got him first. Besides, she feared what they would do to him after the battle, if they won- for no it looked improbable, but anything could happen, as her meeting with the lanky trickster had taught her.

It was time for her to unleash her powers.

Hayley was very proud of her collection of spell books, but she took care to keep it hidden. Again, it had been one of the first charms she mastered.

Who knows what Tony, Steve and the others would have said if they knew of her manuals, and let’s not forget about Thor… The older Odinson would have surely recognised those from miles away, leading to more accusations being heaped on her head.

That was the last thing she wanted. What she needed was alone time to practice, and learn some new tricks. Finally, the moment to put to use the new skills she had acquired had come.

The world became smaller and smaller under Hayley’s feet as she soared in the air, headed for the summit of the Avenger’s tower, where a blown-out-of-proportion siblings tiff was taking place.

Loki was losing ground, but he still out up one hell of a fight. There it was, the stab: his favourite trick of all time, she mused with an eye-roll.

What really got to her was the way he looked.

It felt like a kick to the stomach, making her winded.

He was even more bedraggled than she remembered: his body was gaunt, his hair was unkempt and his eyes were glazed; they held such an unfathomable despair that she froze for a moment.

What did she miss? What was wrong with him?

Somehow, the trickster managed to hit his brother hard enough to knock him out for a while. That was when she came into play

<<Look who we have here>> He teased. Hayley’s heart skipped a beat: never had a smile looked so forced <<Hayley. I see you joined the enemy>>

<<I am trying to right the wrongs I made>> She countered with a vehemence that she did not really feel.

He spun the sceptre in his hand, adopting a combat stance <<Well, let’s settle this. Let me see if the monster I created is powerful enough to defeat me>>

She faltered for a moment: did that mean he knew of her powers? Surely he couldn’t have missed the theft of his magic books.

It did not matter anyway.

Alighting on the concrete, Hayley mimicked his stance

<<Fine>>

The fight began. It went on for a while, though no one seemed to take notice of it. Thor was still out cold, and the rest of the team was busy fighting off the strange-looking aliens that were invading the city.

It went on for a while without a true winner, just each of them taking turns with having the upper hand. Then, calamity struck.

Hayley managed to get a hold of Loki.

In the months that had passed from their last encounter, thanks to the female’s determination and her hard work, her knowledge and abilities had progressed a lot. Now, she could number telepathy among her talents.

It had not worked on Loki until then because he could not allow anyone to even peer into his mind, but as soon as they came into contact, everything changed.

A wall was lifted, and she was not only able to peer into his mind, but to see right down to the depths of his soul.

She did not like what she saw: all the suffering, the pain…

She saw the tortures he’d undergone at the hands of the Other and his master, how they had blackmailed him; she saw the lengths he had gone to trying to ensure the safety of the planet those creatures wanted to destroy; she saw how happy being with her made him…

Last but not least, she saw the love he had for her; she could feel it like a raw current that joined him to her, and her to him.

It was a shattering, ground-breaking discovery. It was so incredible that they both froze, even if the reasons behind his amazement were different from this behind hers.

A worm. At that moment, Hayley felt like a worm: all those accusations, all the blame, all the anger and the hate… They were all groundless.

Loki had sacrificed himself for her, for them, for the whole planet, bearing the brunt of both the alien’s hunger and humanity’s anger. Talk about being caught between a rock and a hard place.

Aside from that though, she now knew he loved her. He loved her so much he let her go, trying to save her from the clutches of the Other and whatever creature he- it- he obeyed to.

He loved her so much that being away from her wore him out slowly, day by day, and underwent it anyhow, for her safety.

A worm.

She felt like a useless, unworthy worm.

I should have known there was something wrong with him.

I should have been there for him.

I’m sorry

It all happened in a moment: Thor regained consciousness, the rest of the Avengers joined him, Loki was chained and gagged…

Hayley did not remember much of it, it was all a blur; she just vaguely recalled screaming no over and over again, trying to get Loki out of their hands.

She did not have an escape plan in mind, a defence, nothing. She just wanted to have him close again, she’d missed him so badly.

It only resulted in both of them being put in jail cells though, as far apart from each other as possible.

(206): How was your day?

(253): Peaceful. I left the house to get paid and get fried chicken.

/

(619): Help I accidentally unlocked this guy's tragic backstory and I need a rewind button!

-

“Just because you’re siblings doesn’t mean you two have to be in each other’s lives twenty four seven. If Kaaras and I were like that I would kill him. No joke, I love him but I can only handle so much of him at a time,” Herah says, handing Ellana some scissors as she continues to cut tags off of her new clothes. “Just because Mahanon went to get food without you doesn’t mean he doesn’t love you anymore.”

“It’s not about Mahanon leaving the house to get fried chicken, though,” Ellana protests, “It’s that he got fried chicken, ate it all, and somehow made the remains disappear? Like. I would have never known chicken was consumed. No bones. No receipts. No bucket or container. Nothing. Why is Mahanon hiding his chicken consumption from me? The only answer is that he’s lying and he did something else and he’s trying to cover it up with food.”

“That's incredibly distrustful of you to say,” Herah says, “Is this the Iron Bull or maybe Leliana talking? I still don’t know why you were moved away from research into being a pilot, when you really should be in the information network.”

“I’m a pilot because I’m the best one we have and I’m going to hold this over everyone for as long as possible to get the best possible benefits,” Ellana says, turning a blouse inside out and tossing it into a pile of clothes meant to be hand washed. “And Bull hasn’t been home in like, two weeks. I kind of miss him, he’d totally have validated my concern about my brother having secrets from me.”

“Siblings are allowed to have secrets from each other,” Herah says, “I mean. You told me that you had a tattoo for almost a full year that Mahanon didn’t know about and that he had three boyfriends in the same time that he hid from you because he know you’ talk shit about them.”

“Those weren’t boyfriends, Herah, those were booty calls, and he knew I’d talk shit because I’d take one look at them and know that my brother was fucking desperate. And those are different. This is different. I sense it. Mahanon is lying about something to cover it up and it’s for…nefarious reasons. I just don’t know how to go about it. It’s my sisterly intuition at work. I know my brother and this is a bad kind of secret.”

Ellana sniffles, “What if he doesn’t trust me anymore?”

Herah looks around them at the collection of clothes, and does a quick mental calculation.

“I’m sorry. This is going to be so fucking offensive because if someone asked me this I would give them a fucking haymaker so hard that they die. But. Are you being emotional about this - instead of the normally petty spiteful you would be - because you’re on your period?”

Ellana scowls.

“You went on a shopping spree, you’re highly suspicious, your moods are swinging towards the self-critical and depressed instead of the normal passive aggressive and cavalier,” Herah says, “Maybe you should think about this later, when you feel a bit more like yourself and not like a hormonal mess.”

“You’re right,” Ellana says, “But I also don’t want to admit you’re right.”

“That sounds more like you. But hey. If this is really bothering you? I can do an investigation for you. If it’d make you feel better.”

Ellana gives Herah a bright smile.

“You’re the best for indulging me, you know that?”

“I can also find the Iron Bull and drag him back. Might have to scrub off his entire first layer of skin first, though.”

-

“That sounds like Sera,” Evelyn muses, “What did you tell her?”

Kaaras shrugs his broad shoulders, “I didn’t answer, I was asleep.”

“Who do you think the guy was? Possible Jenny recruit, maybe?” Evelyn pulls a few more books off of the shelf, flipping them open, “Do you think you’ll need any references on the wind-psychic experiments from Orlais?”

“No, maybe when I’m fleshing things out more. Right now I’m just focused on the effects of telekinesis on physics and current known equations. Thank you. Anyway, Dagna texted me this morning to say that Sera came home completely sober. I guess the tragic backstory made her get out of there fast.”

“Did she tell you the tragic backstory?”

“Not yet,” Kaaras says. “I mean. Sera’s not the type of person to go around telling about other people’s lives. But if this guy is…”

“A bro?” Evelyn suggests.

“She’s going to tell me everything from his social security number to what size socks he wears,” Kaaras continues. “But I don’t know how she would’ve ended up stuck hearing about a guy’s backstory like that if it was the type of person she avoids like the Blight. I mean. Sera wouldn’t even talk to Maxwell for a full month and a half before Malika introduced them by force. Now they’re good friends but based on appearances alone. I mean.”

“Based on appearances alone I’m surprised that Sera didn’t immediately get herself assigned to a different post to avoid Maxwell entirely,” Evelyn says. “He does have that…aura about him.”

“Beach boy meets Labrador,” Kaaras says, “In Sera’s words.”

“More polite words than I expected, honestly,” Evelyn admits. “I wonder what it is about Sera that she gets people spilling their life stories to her.”

“Dagna calls it manic pixie girl syndrome,” Kaaras says, “I didn’t want to ask further at the time.”

Evelyn grimaces, “Yikes. I don’t know what’s worse, that or mother figure syndrome.”

“Mother figure?”

“Oh, you don’t want to know. Trust me you don’t. What time are you supposed to meet up with Sera anyway?”

“Well. She said we were going to head out at one, but given her night I expect her to cancel it honestly. If you’re free we can keep going with the research. Honestly, I kind of hope she cancels. I don’t want to know the tragic backstory either.”

Noroma No Kappuru

Zack looked at his comm again. 11:34 AM. Xenth was supposed to be here over thirty minutes ago. The Advance Recon Scout was sitting on a bench in Deliverance Park, dressed in his casual black and grey sweatshirt and pants, still keeping his Veyes on as always.

It was several weeks after Xenth had revealed to him that she was a Definian. Since then she had told Athena, Jaynix, and Mavis about it as well. And as she suggested back then, they were meeting up at the park to plan the afternoon's activities. Whenever she decided to show up, that is.

He passed the time by observing his surroundings; civilians and off-duty BLADEs milled about the park grounds. A dog chasing a multi-colored butterfly. Looking over to the middle of the park he could see his friends Draco, Aeviann, Athena, and an unknown male in glasses. Zack assumed he was the husband Athena kept talking about. They appeared to be on some kind of double date.

"Sorry I'm late!" Zack turned his head in the direction of the yell, and sure enough there was Xenth running over to him. Dressed in a black jacket and leather jeans she skidded to a halt in front of him. trying to catch her breath,

"Had to talk to Erio about a few things, but I'm here now!" Zack got up with a nod, "What do you have in mind for the afternoon?"

"Well, Athenie told me about some of these great new cafes opening in Barista Court, so we can start with lunch there, and then-"

As Xenth continued to speak, they were being watched from the bushes by two pairs of eyes. The owner of the fiery red pair narrowed them in anticipation.

"There're the targets, Scarlen," She said to the one with the blue pair, an impish grin splitting her face, "You remember the plan?"

Scarlen nodded to her with a smile of his own, "Sure do, Jaynix, I'm ready when you are."

Meanwhile Xenth continued to list off destinations. Zack arched his brow at how many suggestions were vintage comic book and video stores, but that was to be expected from her. At least she'd be semi-distracted during their conversations.

Lately an odd feeling formed in the pit of his stomach whenever she was around or when thinking about her, though he couldn't pin down what it was. Zack had noticed that Xenth was beginning to behave strangely too, no longer making eye contact when talking with him and occasionally stuttering. Perhaps with something to keep them occupied they could have a productive night out without any awkwardness.

His musing was interrupted when he caught a blur of red in the corner of his eye. The fast moving object moved in between him and Xenth, Zack feeling the air move across his face as his Veyes was torn from it.

"Wha-" Zack and Xenth both looked in the direction it had gone, catching the culprit rounding the corner to the Administrative District.

"Was that Jaynix?" Xenth asked, Zack nodding slack-jawed.

The raven-haired BLADE opened her mouth to speak again when a dark-skinned man in white armor bowled into her while yelling, "Hey Jaynix! Wait u- oof!"

The force of the impact knocked Xenth forward into Zack, who stumbled backwards to avoid being hit and in doing so tripped on the bench behind him. Like a domino effect Zack fell backwards with Xenth falling towards him, his large frame combined with their momentum tearing the supports out of the ground. The back of his head hit the ground with a thud while something slammed into his face, feeling weight on his torso and face.

The brief headache from the impact had made Zack shut his eyes. When he opened them he found himself staring into Xenth's own red pair, which were extremely close and wide in shock.  Zack quickly realized why. She was on top of him. And their lips were making contact.

Every muscle in Zack's mim locked up in his usual response to physical contact, made worse by the compromising situation they were in. His mind raced as he felt his face turn a dark red. Neither of them paid attention as Scarlen got up and ran off after Jaynix.

Xenth was frozen in place too, her mind spinning uncontrollably as she continued to stare into Zack's grey orbs. A short while passed before she had the presence of mind to pull her lips away from Zack's and awkwardly slide off the large man. Once she was off Zack's muscles released so he could sit up, still in shock from what just happened. The two friends' eyes met again for a second and looking away from the other out of sheer emberassment, both blushing furiously.

Meanwhile, Cain had seen the chaos unfold and pointed it out to the others. Aevi mouthed, "Oh my," behind her hand, while Athena commented on how cute they were. Draco glanced at them over his glasses before taking out his comm device and took several photos of the 'kiss'.

Zack's hypersensitive hearing picked up the sound of the camera shutter and saw Draco. Throwing a death glare in his direction he scrambled to his feet and charged at the Squad Dad, who ran for the A.D. with the giant Curator hot on his heels and leaving Xenth sitting on the ground. Reaching up she lightly brushed her lips with the tips of her fingers, a jumbled mess of emotions flooding her brain as she stayed there while Athena came over to talk with her.

From the upper level of the Administrative District the blue and silver frame of an Urban model Skell watched silently. It nodded once, the incident providing the A.I. inside with the evidence it needed to confirm its hypothesis. Receiving a priority message from its Pilot to assist in hunting down a certain sunglasses-wearing BLADE, he sent his affirmative and took to the sky in the direction they'd gone, playing a track inside the cockpit that only it could hear.

"Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down...~"

After the incident things became awkward for the two BLADEs; anytime they passed each other in the street or when with friends caused both to avoid eye contact and blush. Although Draco denied sending the photo of the kiss to anyone it spread like wildfire through FrontierNav, even Vandham and Nagi became aware of it. Zack went on another of his mission sprees to avoid the heckling he got from his friends, his fellow Scout Paige and his brother Max in particular, as well as try to clear his head with work.

But no matter how hard Zack tried, he couldn't stop thinking about the kiss. He knew it was purely accidental and that neither of them had meant it. So why was he feeling these foreign emotions when he recalling the incident, and why did they amplify whenever he was around Xenth?

Meanwhile Xenth was dealing with the same problems he was, although she knew exactly what she was feeling. She was terrified by it, especially since she was feeling this way for a close friend, and one who was like an older brother figure for her at that. Xenth wanted to adress the elephant in the room with him, but whenever the oppurtunity presented itself she couldn't find the words.

After a week Xenth had had enough. Athena had told her in passing that Zack was back from his missions and would be meeting a client in Deliverance Park, so that's where she was now, hoping to catch the giant Curator before he left. It was an overcast day, though there was no rain in the forecast today.

The Definian BLADE waited for what felt like hours, until finally she saw him. Zack was talking to an Orphean and handed him a specimen of a wild Miran flower, which the insectoid Xeno promptly gobbled up before handing over payment. Apprehension twisting her stomach, Xenth walked over to him as the Orphe left. He was typing up a mission report in his comm device and didn't notice her approach.

She cleared her throat to get his attention. Hearing the noise Zack turned and froze once he saw her. His expression set itself to his usual blank expression as she spoke, "U-uhm, can I talk to you for a minute?"

Zack nodded a small affirmative, so she asked, "Zack... remember when we kissed that time?"

"Ah...er- um..." Once she brought it up Zack's defenses crumbled and he became a stuttering mess. This was no way for an Advance Recon Scout to act. He had to keep a cool head, but no training had prepared him for this situation. All he could do was say, "Eh, y-yeah?"

Xenth gulped. She was going to ask him, she had to know.

"W-Well...uh...did you...uh...er...."

Zack's core processor accelerated while his plasma pressure was increasing at an alarming rate. She was having trouble saying what was on her mind, but he knew exactly what she meant, and he'd dreaded this moment. The Scout in him told him to deny his feelings like he had before, that he couldn't afford to be in a relationship when humanity was still far from settled on this planet. But... he wasn't just an amnesiac Scout anymore. In the few months since he was brought out of stasis, the experiences he's had and the friends he shared them with shaped him into a much different person than he was back then. I

t was then he realized it wasn't just him, Xenth had just confirmed the feelings Zack had were mutual. Falling back into self-denial would hurt her, and that was last thing thing he ever wanted to do to.

He closed his eyes for a second. Opening them he looked straight into hers, giving his answer with a slow nod. But that wasn't enough. Zack got down to eye level with her, removing his Veyes shakily. Xenth was nervous too, her heart beating rapidly against her chest as they stared at each other. Slowly his face edged towards hers, Xenth's eyes closing in anticipation.

Stopping just before making contact Zack realized something: he didn't know how to kiss properly. So he went with how he recalled seeing other couples do it, and pressed his lips to hers. The sensation of her mouth against his own flooded his system with endorphins, an incredible sensation he'd never known until now.

In turn Xenth, overcome with warmth and joy wrapped her arms around the large man's neck and deepening the kiss, all the nervousness and apprehension she'd felt before melting away. Even though she'd watched this scene play out hundreds of times in anime and movies, none of them compared to this moment.

Breaking for air, they stared into each other's eyes for a few moments. Eventually Zack broke the silence with an awkward grin, "Does... this mean we're in a mutally exclusive romantic relationship?"

"You mean dating?" Xenth giggled, releasing his head to hug his body and lay her head against the chestplate of his Bodywear, "Then yes. Yes it does."

The new couple embraced, unaware they were being watched from the bushes. Jaynix lifted up her fist and Scarlen bumped it with his own with grins spread across their faces.
