Stallion - Chapter 5 [Loki X Reader]

You broke down crying in the middle of the labratory. You held your hands over your eyes, trying to calm youeself down, but you couldn't stop the tears, no matter how hard you tried. They streamed down your face and clearly showed your dispair. "No..." You said inbetween sobs "No!!"

Out of the corner of your eye you saw another scientist rush into the room. He stopped for a moment when he entered. You still kneeled down on the ground for a few more moments, but then, something within you completely snapped. All the sadness and tears quickly swifted to anger and rage.

You rose to your feet, and stared at the scientist with an extremely pissed off look on your face. "You! You did this!" You then ran and picked up the pipe that you had dropped on the floor. You grabbed it, and moved towards the scientist. He tried to turn around and sprint away from you, but you were too fast for him. You swung the pipe and hit him on the side of his head, causing him to fall to the floor. You didn't let up in your attack, and continued to hit him hard with the pipe while yelling at him for what he and the other scientists had done. "You idiots!!" You shouted as you wacked him on his head again. You were shouting now, your voice increasing in volume alongside of your anger. "You killed Spike!" He had blood dripping down his neck from where you hit him below his ear. You stood over the man, placing your right foot on his chest. He pleeded for you to have mercy on him, but were not so easily persuaded. You were nearly about to deliver another blow to the man, but you were unable to, because Loki had grabbed your hand.

"That is enough." He said to you, as he took the pipe out of your hands. In that short time frame, the scientist quickly got up and ran as fast as he could for having being brutally attacked.

Loki's actions seemed to have brought you out of your emotion-driven rage. You would have protested to him stopping you, but you were actually glad that he did. If you had continued that attack you could have badly hurt that man, and, even though he and then rest of the scientists deserve it for what they did to Spike, you would have felt horrible. It was not in your nature to attack. You hardly ever went so far over the edge that you resorted to violence. It wasn't like you at all. It was as if, for the time span of the attack, something else drove you to take your anger out on the unsuspecting man.

You were terrified of the fact that you acted so barbaric and impulsive. You closed your eyes to attempt to hold back the tears that were forming in your eyes yet again.

"Do not cry yet." You heard Loki say.

"We failed, Loki! We were too late, and now... Spike's gone... He's gone..."

"There may be a way to fix this."

"...How?" You questioned. "Spike's dead... Science can't be use to bring back the dead."

"Science says that many things are impossible, but that does not always mean that they are." He replied. Before you could say anything in response, Loki walked closer to you and grabbed your arm, pulling you back to your feet. "Come now. If we are to do this, we must hurry."

You didn't know what he was talking about, but for whatever reason you nodded and quickly wiped the tears out of your eyes.

Outside of the building, you and Loki left through the gate, and went around the building. In the back, Loki led you over to a truck that was parked.

"Get in." He told you.

"We can't steal a vehicle!"

"We've already broken a number of laws, what's the addition of auto theft going to do?"

"...Fair enough." You replied. "But we don't have keys, and I don't know how to-" Before you could even finish your sentence, Loki threw a small object at you, which you almost dropped on the ground. It was the key. "He stole the key..." You said to yourself. "Genius."

With that you hopped into the driver seat, while Loki got in the passenger side. You started the truck and quickly drove down the road.

---

"Where are we going?" You asked Loki.

"To... A bridge." He replied to you.

"You're going to have to be more specific. There are hundreds of bridges in the city."

"The bridge isn't in the city."

"Then wher-"

"Just drive." He told you. "I'll will tell you where you go."

"Well... Alright..." You replied.

As Loki had said, he gave you directions to where he wanted to go. You didn't know exactly how a bridge would help you in any way, but something in your head told you to trust Loki. After a while of driving you came to a road which lead into the desert. The big city scenery changed quickly from busy streets and tall buildings, to nearly desserted roads and vast open area of sand. The sun was rising over east horizon and colored the sky with bright oranges, yellows and reds. Throughout the drive, all was silence. Neither you nor Loki spoke a word, unless it was him telling you which way to turn or which road to watch out for. The silence had quickly began to create tension in the air. You waited a few moments longer, but you couldn't take the silence anymore.

"Please don't be offended," You started to say, "but... I think when I was passed out after the car accident, I heard you speaking to someone. Is that true, or was I imagining it?"

"You were not imagining anything." Loki replied. "I, indeed, was speaking to someone."

"Who was it? If I may ask."

"Someone who shouldn't be here." Loki said, "The oaf would only cause further problems."

"Okay then, one more question..." You hesitated before you asked. You wern't even sure if you wanted to know the answer. You heard a peice of advice somewhere that said; "Don't ask questions that you don't want the answer to." But you were not sure if you should follow that advice. This one question had been burning in your mind ever since your last conversation with Drake. What he said... Was there any possiblity that he was right? Was he able to see the truth before you even realized it? Perhaps you were so caught up in running to Spike's aid that you failed to see the truth that was standing right in front of you. When you thought more of the subject, it all seemed to play out perfectly, but yet Drakes theory was still farfetched and could very well be wrong... And, you sort of hoped that it was... but you couldn't help but wonder.

"Yes?" He said.

"There was something that Drake said... About you." You paused for a moment, and then sighed. "You know what, Nevermind. You'll just think I'm crazy..."

"I've encountered a number of crazies in my time," He replied with a laugh, "I'm sure whatever it is you want to ask it won't be at all crazy compared to others."

"It's just that... even I think I'm crazy for just considering Drake's words." You explained. "It sounded more like a work of fiction rather than reality."

"Sometimes there is a very fine line between the two." Loki said.

"I suppose you're right. I just... don't know what to believe anymore."

"Well, ask your question. Perhaps I'll be able to clear things up."

You sighed again. "...Okay. Well... he - he said that... that you... Look, I don't know how to explain it, so I'm just going to say it, alright?"

"Go on."

"Drake said that you were someone for a mythology he learned... that you were some... God of Mischief." You kept your eyes fixed on the road, as you waited for Loki to say something. A few moments passed and he did not reply. "I guess I'm just insane. Forget that I said anything..."

"No... You are not insane." Loki said, "The truth is just hard for you to believe is all."

"So, Drake was right..." You replied. Thoughts were buzzing around in your head now. Drake's words echoed in your mind and made you second guess yourself. 'Helping him can only lead to trouble!' A sense of worry grew in the pit of your stomache. Half of you said "Stop the car, get out and run!" But, for some reason, the other side said "He hasn't tried to hurt you, so why would he do it now?"

"I can see that the truth is distressing you." He replied, "You need not worry. I wouldn't hurt someone who is so determined at helping those in need."

"So... If you're a... God... why did you come here?" You asked.

"I came came to find Sleipnir. Something released him and he escaped from Asgard."

"Oh, so his name is Sleipnir?" You said, "I've been calling him Spike. I guess I should have asked you what his name was before."

"No, It matters not what you call him."

After a little more driving, Loki told you to make another turn and then to stop the truck. You were in the desert and when you got out of the truck you saw odd markings on the ground.

"What is that?" You asked, looking at it in consufion. " It kind of looks like a crop circle."

"It's a bridge." Loki said, "A.. magical bridge you could say."

"...Where does it go?"

"It goes to Asgard. There might be a way to fix the situation with Sleipnir." Loki walked closer to the circle, and then looked up at the sky for a moment. He then looked back at you. "You can either stay here, or if you want to still help with Sleipnir, you can go as well."

You were quick in your answer, which suprised even you, "I want to go with." You said. "I've come this far and I won't just stay here. I want to go and help with... whatever it is you have in mind to bring Sleipnir back."

"Hum. Very well." Loki replied. He walked to the center of the circle on the ground, and motioned for you to do the same. You hesitated for a second, but then followed. Loki looked up at the sky again.

"Hemidall!"

You didn't know who Loki was calling for, but a few moments passed and a shined down from the sky.

You wern't sure what this 'Asgard' was going to be like.

But you'd find out soon.
