Little Sparrow (Chapter 11: The Escape Attempt)

Loki x Reader Mafia AU

When Tony Stark's little sister wakes up deep in enemy territory she assumes her life is over. She'll be killed or worse: used as a bargaining chip against her estranged brother. What happens when the mafia leader, Loki Laufeyson, offers her a deal she can't refuse? No sentiment. Only revenge. What happens when the truth is revealed? Will she betray her only family or betray the man she loves to hate? Little Sparrow is an enemies to lover's fic riddled with betrayal and spice!

“Loki… what’ve you done?” I could feel my heart racing in my chest.

“I’m sorry, darling… but I promised I’d find you.” I could hear the regret in his voice.

No… please no.

“You’ve been tracking this call, haven’t you?” My voice broke.

“Yes, darling.”

“Was that the real reason you wanted to talk to me?” I hissed.

“No, love… I needed to know you were okay and I wanted to hear your sweet voice… but once Syf told me she knew how to trace the call… I had to do it.”

“No, Loki… you can’t come here! That’s what he wants, you know that!”

“I promised I’d get you back, darling," he replies softly.

“No! I’ll get back to you on my own! You show up here and they’ll kill you on sight! You know they will!” Tears filled my eyes.

“I made a promise.”

“And I promise to hold you to it, okay? But not now! You’ll get me back another way! Don’t do this! You don’t know what you’re walking into here! Please, Loki… don’t do this.” My heart was racing as I tried to reason with him.

“What do you expect me to do, sweet girl?” His voice was soft as he spoke. “Wait for your fiance to find you again? You expect me to let him hurt you again?” His words grew harsh as a tear slipped down my cheek.

“Please… they’re not like you. They won’t hesitate to shoot.”

“Are you saying I’m weak?” he hissed.

“No!” I knew I wasn’t making this any better. “I’m saying I know why you didn’t kill them when they first arrived in your territory… at least I think I know. You could’ve shot them the minute we walked into the coffee shop but you didn’t. I have to believe you did that for me.”

“Perhaps it was simply because they were useful.”

“You and I both know that’s not true. You didn’t kill them because you knew it would hurt me but Tony… he wouldn’t hesitate to kill you and anyone you bring with you… no matter who it would hurt.”

“You don’t seem to think very highly of your brother.”

“He was a good man once… but losing our parents took a toll on him… he hasn’t been the same since.”

“Y/n!” Nat called to me, holding up her phone. “Tony’s calling me. We should head back inside.”

“Just a second,” I replied.

“Was that Romanoff? Has she been there the whole time?”

“She didn’t hear anything but yes, she knows I’m talking to you. She’s the reason I was even able to leave my room to make this phone call.”

There was a brief pause. “Well, then tell her thanks for me.”

“Sure,” I chuckled, before remembering our earlier conversation. “Just give me a few days to get out on my own. You can have a plane meet me a few miles away from the compound but don’t send anyone recognizable. Just… please… let me try before you get yourself killed.”

“Three days, Y/n. After that I’m coming back for you. I don’t trust them with you.”

“I know, Loki… I know.” I breathed a sigh of relief. “Thank you.”

“The plane will be there every day starting tomorrow night in case you find a way out sooner.”

“Thank you, Loki.”

“I love you, darling… even if you can’t say it back yet. I will always love you.”

“I know.”

****

“How’d it go?” Nat asked as we began walking back toward the compound.

“Fine. He says thanks by the way.”

She smiled. “I didn’t do it for him but sure I’ll accept thanks from the leader of the Asgardians.”

“Don’t let Odin hear you say that. He still thinks he’s running things.”

She chuckled. “He’s still alive?”

I playfully punched her shoulder as we entered the compound and Tony started yelling at us.

“Where the hell have you been?”

“What’s your problem, Tony? I went for a walk. Don’t worry, your little guard dog came with me.”

“You let her out?!” His eyes widen as he turns his attention to Nat.

“What was I supposed to do, Tony? She’s an adult! Did you expect me to hold her down?”

“If that’s what it came to!”

“Fuck you, Tony!” I yelled, trying to walk past him but he stopped me by grabbing my arm. 

“Pepper got you a new phone.” He pulled a box from his pocket. “I’ll take your old one.”

“I’m not giving you my phone, Tony.” I pushed him away from me as Steve entered the room.

“Come on, Y/n. Let’s not make this any more difficult than it needs to be.”

I scoff. “I’m not giving him my phone, Steve.”

“Why?”

“It’s where I keep all my nudes,” I replied, laughing as his face went red.

“Y/n,” he hissed.

“What?” I replied innocently. “I’m not handing over my phone. Sorry, Steve.”

I left the room, shutting my door and quickly pulling out my phone. I changed Loki’s contact to ‘Alex’ and deleted our previous messages along with the record of tonight’s call. I knew it wouldn’t be long before Tony managed to get ahold of my phone and I wanted to play it safe.

I sent a quick message before deleting my copy of it.

Tony’s taking my phone. Don’t use this number.

I grabbed a sheet of paper and began writing his number on it, stuffing it inside a spare shoe in my closet just as there was a loud knock on my door. 

“Open the damn door, Y/n!” Tony yelled. I shut the phone down and opened the door.

“Let’s just make this easier on everyone and give me the phone.”

I rolled my eyes and reluctantly handed him the phone. He seemed annoyed when it didn’t turn on right away and began powering it up. 

“Password?”

I scoffed. “Yeah, nope. That wasn’t part of the agreement."

“Y/n, this is for your own good.”

I shrugged. “Not interested. Don’t you have something better to do than to creep on your little sister’s phone. I mean honestly… it’s not a good look for you, Tony.”

He huffed in annoyance, handing me the new phone, before leaving.

I began setting up the phone, trying to ignore the tears slipping down my cheeks.

****

The next day was busy and I’d hoped to find a moment to sneak away but even through the chaos Tony always had someone guarding me. I went to sleep and decided to try again the next day. I’d packed a bag, being sure to check every possible seam of my clothing and bag for trackers and it seemed I was in the clear. I wasn’t taking much with me, apart from a sweater and a few photos. I didn’t plan on coming back to this place.

****

The following day I had a bit more space and I was able to ditch Clint, who’d been put on guard duty. It was barely 8 o’clock when my feet hit the pavement and I began running from the compound. I didn’t get far before I heard alarms sounding through the compound and I ran for the cover of the woods. Suddenly an arrow shot in front of me, landing at my feet, and my heart began racing.

“Come on, Y/n! Just come back home!” Clint called from somewhere in the trees. “You didn’t honestly think you escaped on your own, did you? Your brother was testing you and you failed. Let’s make this easier and run along home.”

“That’s not my home anymore!” I yelled, knowing he’d already found me so it made no difference to try to stay quiet. “Wouldn’t you fight for Laura if someone tried to separate you?”

“Laura isn’t an Asgardian.”

“She wasn’t an Avenger when you met her either!” I called back.

“Just go home, Y/n!”

I started walking forward and another arrow landed in front of me.

“You gonna shoot me?” I hissed in the direction the arrow had come from.

“If I have to.”

I scoffed, turning back the way I’d come. “Fuck you, Barton!”

****

When I returned to the compound I was met with Tony’s furious glare but he said nothing. He roughly grabbed my arm and pulled a strange device from behind his back.

“What the hell are you doing?” I yelled, struggling in his grip.

Steve lifted my sleeve and Tony pressed the device against my skin. A sharp pain shot through my arm. Tears filled my eyes as I realized what he’d just done.

He’d just placed a tracker in my arm.

"elections come and go. don't let politics ruin your relationships :)"

I will let politics ruin my relationships actually!!!! cause people who lack empathy and vote against the better interest of marginalized groups are not people I want to be associated with!!!
