Portal to My Heart (Book 1) Alternate Chapter Six

Loki x Reader

Alternate Chapter Six: Into the Original Timeline

Summary: What if instead of escaping the timeline and becoming variants, (Y/N) and Loki continued on their path in the original timeline?

Author's Note: Welcome to my Alternate (or really Original) Timeline Loki x Reader. I'm going to start a book that follows the original Thor: Dark World, Thor: Ragnarok, and Avengers Infinity War timeline of the Marvel universe to show what would have happened between Loki and the MC if they hadn't gone to the TVA and such. Fair warning, as my Book 2 showed, it will not have a happy ending, so just know you're not going to be necessarily satisfied. But we have the LOKI series to keep the romance going! And now, without further ado, what could/would have been:

(Y/N) could hear the fight continuing outside. She could see Chitauri and their strange tank creatures flying by. She could see flames and smoke from destroyed buildings. She hated to think about the lives lost in the battle. (Y/N) sighed. She hoped it would be over soon with the “Avengers” the victors.

Suddenly, the sky outside went dark. Storm clouds rolled in. Lightning crackled above. Then, lightning crackled down the Empire State Building. It was then redirected, undoubtedly by Thor, over Stark Tower. (Y/N) guessed it was probably to hit the Chitauri coming out from the portal.

After that, relatively clear skies returned. Screams and explosions were all (Y/N) could hear. She despised it, but there was no safe way of getting down from the tower, nor could she really help. So, she decided to have a little bit of fun during the possible end of the world. Stark’s bar was pretty out of the way, so (Y/N) sat down behind it so people couldn’t see here and had a drink.

Cheers to the end of the world, thought (Y/N), toasting to herself. She was alone with her thoughts. They were clouded with thoughts of Loki. She was curious about what he was really like, beyond whatever was controlling him. (Y/N) had felt how the scepter wanted to influence her, whispering without words about how much power and revenge it could bring her, magnifying her negative feelings. She wondered how much of what he was doing was him, and how much was the scepter. Loki possessed it for much longer than the minutes she held it. Who knew how much his mind was twisted? Granted, (Y/N) knew he definitely had some mischievous tendencies and loved power, but she had seen some forms of kindness in him, although only briefly. She wanted to see more since he was very interesting.

Summoned by her thoughts, she heard a crash on the balcony outside. Peeking over the bar, she saw Loki standing up angrily. His helmet had been knocked off. He was about to attack when the Hulk slammed him through the remaining windows of Stark Tower’s top floor. (Y/N) winced at the force by which Loki hit the wall and then the floor. Hulk roared and approached the raven-haired man.

“Enough!” cried Loki furiously, standing up. “You are, all of you, beneath me! I am a god, you dull creature. And I will not be bullied by—.”

Hulk grabbed him by the ankle and smashed him repeatedly against the floor. Loki was left on his back in a dent in the ground, groaning.

“Puny god,” huffed Hulk as he left the building.

(Y/N) was deciding whether or not to come out. She watched first as Black Widow dropped down, grabbed the scepter, and left again quickly. She decided not to question it as the assassin was probably helping save the world. Bracing hers

Loki whimpered slightly from the pain.

(Y/N) was deciding whether or not to come out. She watched first as Black Widow dropped down, grabbed the scepter, and left again quickly. She decided not to question it as the assassin was probably helping save the world. Bracing herself slightly for what she would have to deal with, she finished her glass of wine. (Y/N) then grabbed a towel and a bottle of vodka. She walked calmly over to Loki.

“You look like how I feel,” she muttered.

Loki scowled at her. “Spare me your pity.”

(Y/N) rolled her eyes. “No worries, I’m not pitying the guy who’s started a war in New York.”

“Then what are you doing?” questioned Loki.

“You saved me from pain, so I’m saving you from some,” she answered. “Don’t tell anyone I did this, and I won’t tell anyone what you did.”

“Very well,” said Loki.

(Y/N) poured the vodka onto the towel and began dabbing into onto the trickster’s forehead where many wounds were. He hissed slightly at the sensation, but (Y/N) continued. No words were spoken between them. Both were planning on never speaking about this. In fact, if Loki lost, which it very much seemed he would, they were probably never going to speak again in their lives. (Y/N) and Loki were both disappointed since they had found someone interesting that brought some excitement into life, but neither would admit that. So, they contented themselves with silence, resigning to push away the emotions that they didn’t like.

“There,” said (Y/N), finishing. She looked outside and saw Chitauri falling to the ground from where they had been flying. They all seemed to be “shutting off,” if living beings could do that. “It’s over.”

“I’ve lost,” said Loki, growling slightly.

“We did warn you,” said (Y/N), “And now you’re going to pay for your crimes. Have fun!” She stood and placed the alcohol bottle back in the bar.

Loki smirked up at her. “If there’s one thing you should remember of me, it is that I rarely allow others to determine my future.”

She turned back to him and nodded. “True, you did spend quite a bit of effort ridding yourself of the scepter’s control.”

“And as usual, my efforts yielded results,” said Loki.

“Well, I suppose I should congratulate you,” remarked (Y/N), smirking, “But I’m afraid you’re about to be rather disappointed.” She saw the Avengers landing on the balcony.

“Oh, joy,” said Loki sarcastically. He dragged himself up the stairs before turning around. He looked up at the group of heroes who were looking down at him threateningly. “If it’s all the same to you, I’ll have that drink now,” said Loki cheekily.

The Avengers looked unamused.

(Y/N), on the other hand, snorted. “Good luck with that. Most of the bottles and glasses are destroyed.”

“All right, get him on his feet,” said Iron Man, “We can all stand around posing up a storm later.” He glanced back at Loki. “By the way, feel free to clean up.”

Loki’s hands were chained, and Thor stood by him so he couldn’t run off.

“Who gets the, uh, magic wand?” asked Romanoff.

“STRIKE team’s coming to secure it,” said Rogers.

SHIELD agents began to stream in. Some were doctors and walked over to (Y/N), but she waved them off. She had enough of people being all up in her business for today.

“We can take that off your hands,” said one agent to Black widow. (Y/N) thought his name might be Sitwell.

Black Widow handed it over, and Sitwell looked at it in awe.

“Don’t mess around with that thing,” advised (Y/N).

“Yeah, unless you want your mind erased,” said Barton, taking a drink he stole from the bar.

“And not in the fun way,” said (Y/N).

“We promise to be careful.” Sitwell placed the scepter in a silver case.

Captain America pressed his earpiece. “On my way down to coordinate search-and-rescue.”

Loki rolled his eyes and transformed into the Captain. “ ‘On my way down to coordinate search-and-rescue.’ ” He transformed back. “I mean, honestly, how do you keep your food down?”

Thor took out a small device that then expanded. It was a muzzle, which he then placed on Loki’s mouth. “Shut up.”

(Y/N) snickered at Loki’s face and followed everyone to the elevator. She just wanted to go home and sleep for days. Unfortunately, now she had to deal with being right next to Loki and a bunch of SHIELD agents.

Carrying a silver briefcase with the Tesseract in it, Stark was the last to get into the elevator after the SHIELD agents sent it back up. Behind him, Hulk attempted to get in.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa,” said Thor.

“Hey, hey. Buddy!” said Stark. “What do you think? Maximum occupancy has been reached.”

The doors began to slide closed as Hulk growled.

“Take the stairs,” advised Hawkeye.

“Yeah,” said Stark.

Hulk was getting annoyed.

If I have to deal with a brawl with the Hulk, I’m running away to a random island where none of this shit will bother me again, thought (Y/N).

“Stop, stop,” said Stark as Hulk raised a fist.

Too late. As the doors closed, Hulk dented them.

“Oh, come on,” said Stark, exasperated.

(Y/N) raised an eyebrow at the dent. “I would hate to get hit by that.”

Loki glared at her, but she just smiled innocently at him. The elevator dinged, and the doors slid open. They all walked out into Stark Tower’s lobby. Six armed guards remained on either side of Loki, and most of the other avoided being near him, but (Y/N) didn’t care. She was right in front of him while Stark and Thor walked farther up. They halted in front of some SHIELD higher-ups, including Mr. Pierce. (Y/N) found him as disgusting as every other government official, especially since he always looked out for himself more than the good of the people.

“Uh, may I ask you where you’re going?” questioned Pierce.

“Bit of lunch and then Asgard,” said Thor. “I’m sorry, you are…?”

“Alexander Pierce,” answered Stark, “He’s the man above the folks behind Nick Fury.”

“Oh,” said Thor in realization.

“My friends call me Mr. Secretary,” said Pierce.

“More like Mr. Suspicious,” muttered (Y/N).

The guards to either side didn’t hear her, but Loki’s eyes crinkled in a smile that couldn’t be seen because of his muzzle.

“I’m going to have to ask you to turn that prisoner and the girl over to me,” said Pierce.

“Excuse me?” questioned (Y/N), crossing her arms and raising an eyebrow.

“We were recording as much as we could of Loki in Stark Tower. You gave off some strong energy similar to the Tesseract,” said Pierce.

Shit, thought (Y/N), sighing.

Thor and Stark turned to her, and she shrugged casually. There was no point in denying what she’d done if there was proof.

“We are going to investigate what caused it,” said Pierce.

“By experimenting on me?” (Y/N) raised an eyebrow challengingly.

“You will just be participating in some tests,” replied Pierce.

Thor butted in. “Loki will be answering to Odin himself, and Asgard has knowledge beyond Earth’s. We would be able to help Lady (Y/N) there.”

“No, he’s going to answer to us. Odin can have what’s left. And she will be perfectly fine in our care,” said Pierce.

Care my ass. You’re going to turn me into a brainwashed weapon who will do all your dirty work.

Loki and (Y/N) simultaneously rolled their eyes.

“And I’m going to need that case,” said Pierce, glancing down at the Tesseract’s container. “That’s been SHIELD’s property for over seventy years.”

One of Pierce’s associates tried to take the case from Stark, who pushed him back.

“Hand over the case, Stark,” ordered Pierce.

Thor and Stark put up a hand to keep the government officials back.

“I’m not gonna argue who’s the higher authority here,” said Stark.

“I need the case,” enunciated Pierce.

“I know you’ve got a lot of pull, I’m just saying, jurisdiction…” said Stark.

“Okay, then give me the case,” said Pierce, becoming annoyed. He grabbed the case’s handle.

“Well, jurisdiction…” The billionaire tightened his hold, even as multiple agents tried to take it from him.

“Hand it over,” ordered an agent.

“Get your hands off me!” exclaimed Stark.

Before Pierce or Stark could further argue, Thor plucked the suitcase out of Stark’s hands. Everyone’s eyes went to the tall, muscular man.

“This will return to Asgard. My people will guard it properly,” said Thor.

No one was about to argue with the god.

“Fine.” The words came out sharply from Pierce, frustrated at having been thwarted but knowing he didn’t have the power at the moment to challenge Thor. He turned to (Y/N), and she narrowed her eyes. “So, you have your prisoner and your artifact. We’ll be leaving with Miss (Y/N) in order to discuss the strange power surges we sensed during the battle.”

No thanks, no way in Hell, thought (Y/N). And so she turned to Thor and smiled. “Actually, I’d like to learn what Asgard’s knowledge on such power is. They clearly have more experience than Earth does.”

Loki nearly snorted with laughter at how sickly-sweet (Y/N) was being. (Y/N) glared at him with a look that said “don’t-mess-this-up-this-is-my-ticket-out.”

Thor didn’t notice the exchanged and grinned. “What a fine idea, Lady (Y/N)! I’m glad you agree!” He smiled at Stark, Pierce, and the rest of the mortals. “Well, then, we’ll be heading off!”

“Do not do that disappearing-portal-thing in the middle of my building,” said Stark. “It’s been through enough already. Pepper’s gonna kill me about the remodeling costs.”

“The park is big enough,” said Captain America.

“Excellent!” Thor grabbed Loki and hauled him with him.

(Y/N) smirked at Pierce before following them out. She had no idea what she was about to step into, but if it meant getting out of Pierce and SHIELD’s control and having some autonomy, then (Y/N) was going to take the opportunity. She was going to find freedom.

(But seriously, did it have to involve god politics?)
