To Be Reborn The Butterfly

The thunderstorm rolled in immediately and everyone took notice. Tony, Natasha, and Clint looked outside to see Thor with an expression so grave they were certain someone was about to die.
“Tony, suit up now. He’s going to kill Steve.” Natasha says.
“I believe you.” Tony halls ass, shouting instructions at Jarvis as he goes. Tony doesn’t understand why Thor is going to kill Steve. I mean yeah the guy is fucking his sister, but somebody had to. She’d be dead if Steve hadn’t agreed. I mean really, who else was there to ask?
“Jarvis, alert Bruce and tell him to get his ass up here now!” Natasha yells as Thor moves towards the door.
“Where are they?” Thor asks her with a dark expression.
“Thor, I know you are upset, but you have to respect Loki’s wishes and….”
“ERAHHHHHH!”
“DON’T YOU GROWL AT ME! I AM YOUR FRIEND DAMN IT!” She screeches at Thor like no one, not even Clint has ever heard before. The pain etched into Thor’s face is epic. His eyes are glazed over with barely unshed tears and Natasha knows what a frightening sight it must be to see the God of Thunder cry. The rain outside is heavy and coming down at an angle from all of the strong winds. Bruce and Tony come into the living room. Bruce looks nervous at the thought of having to Hulk out and fight his friend. Natasha tries to think of what to say to calm the situation.
“I know you love Loki, like really love her more than you are supposed to. And I think she loves you too, I really do.”
“Then why am I not in there with her! Is this just another one of Loki games meant to harm me.”
“No, no no. Thor this is NOT a game. Loki doesn’t want to get pregnant right now. I’m sure you can understand her reasons for that.”
“That still does not explain why Steven is in there and not myself. Why did she choose him? Does she love him more than she loves me?”
“I don’t know Thor, and frankly that is a question you will need to ask Loki at another time, but right now she has real physical needs. Needs that had to be addressed immediately. Her heat started several hours ago. Even if she wanted it to be you, we wouldn’t have been able to wait. You know how precarious her health is right now.”
“Well I am here now and Steven is free to go. I can take over from here.”
“Thor, no. We are not interrupting them now. Besides, do you really trust yourself to not do the very thing you want most? She’s in heat, begging to be knocked up. I know because we can hear them through the walls. She’s not in her right mind, but she told me yesterday that she doesn’t want children yet, because she’s not ready. Do you really think you could hold back and take care of her the way Steve is?”
The tears burst forth because Thor knows the answer is no. He would relish every second with Loki, filling her with his seed over and over again. He would watch in joy as it seeped out of her beautiful quim, which would soon swell with his child. He loves her and curses fate for this turn of events. If only he’d gotten back from the mountains a couple of days sooner. Thor weeps openly and loudly as he wraps his arms around Natasha and sobs on her shoulder. The lightening outside is flashing in time with his gasping cries. Everything is quiet save the sounds Thor is making until…..
“ah…..ah…..ah…..ah…..” is heard faintly through the walls along with the thudding sound of a head board. Thor growls like a wounded animal. He turns, walks outside, and disappears in a bright blinding flash.

By day three, Steve is looking thoroughly exhausted. His shyness about sex is completely gone and he has no hesitation about coming out of the room and asking the others for ideas. By day five, Steve’s tried every kinky weird sex idea thrown at him at least twice. He is deploying anything and everything to keep giving Loki orgasms. He manages to wear her out enough periodically for them both to get some sleep. He practically has to force feed her fluids and things to keep her going. Combining food and sex at this point is just practical.
Steve knows about Thor’s visit, but tries not to think about the implications of Thor wanting to be the one to breed Loki. There is plenty of time for that later. It lingers on the surface of his mind, however, pulling on the strings of his heart. He doesn’t want to lose Loki. He loves her.
The last two days of the heat are the hardest. Loki’s body rebels at the continuous rutting without seed to show for it. Her fever spikes and Steve has to deploy everything he has learned about Loki’s body to bring her to a continuous peak. He’s looking intensely into her eyes as he gently fucks her. She so sore and swollen down there, he doesn’t want to cause her pain. He interlaces his fingers with hers.
“I love you Loki.” He dips down to kiss her without pausing his thrusts. “Come for me baby. I know you can.”
“Come inside me! PLEASE!” She cries. Steve suddenly feels a deep pang of regret. He really does want to put his seed inside her. He wants babies. He wants her, but he shakes his head, and respects her wishes.
“You know I can’t sweetheart, I’m sorry.” Steve continues making love to her and on the evening of the seventh day her fever breaks.

In the days following the heat, little is seen of Loki and Steven. They are too busy sleeping, eating, and resting their private parts. Loki thinks about Thor and cries. She loves the man, but she doesn’t want to go back to Asgard. Not yet. Though she knows deep down she’ll have to return eventually. Steve might be longer lived than most mortals and not age as quickly, but he does age. His life is a blink of time within her own. Sooner or later, Loki’s friends will die of old age and she’ll be alone on Midgard. Even if she continues to make new friends, she will eventually tire of burying the old ones. Loving mortals is a hard thing to do.
Loki is tired, but she is happy. In the end she decides not to think too much about the subject. She loves Steve, she knows that now, and he loves her in return. She’s going to explore this relationship and see where it takes her.
She is happy.
Steve and Loki spend every spare minute with each other. They go to the gym and wear each other out, and then go to the bedroom and wear each other out again. They develop a routine. They date. They live their lives as if all this were a normal mortal relationship. A month goes by. Loki and Steve snog openly in front of the others in the living room. Shy Steve is gone. Another month goes by. Clint hugs Loki one day after the two beat Steve and Natasha in round of ping pong. It speaks volumes to the way he and the others see Loki. She is one of them.
Another month goes by. Steve, Clint, and Natasha disappear a lot on SHIELD missions. Victor Von Doom is ramping up for something, but no one knows what. Again they fail to capture him or gain any new intelligence. An air of foreboding fills Avengers Tower. They all know something bad is on the horizon, and they don’t know when, or how, or where it will hit. Everyone is nervous.
Steve has additional reasons to be nervous. Six months after the heat, Steve walks into Tiffany’s and pays a visit to the ring counter.

It is a beautiful spring day when a call comes in from Director Fury. The scepter has been stolen from SHIELD’s vault. Doom has it, and he has an army of those doombots on their way to New York again. Everyone suits up, including Loki. She knows he will be coming after her.
The attack starts unexpectedly out on the water. Cargo ships filled with doombots fill the harbor, and there is a new complication. The doombots can fly. They descend on the tower like a swarm of Locusts. It is a good thing no one is home. Tony sent Pepper to safety in Malibu. Loki is armed with her throwing daggers and is ready with the spells she wants to use.
Tony targets the ships and takes a few out before any of the doombots are able to escape. But there are already two ships that have emptied out their hulls of hundreds of the damn things. Tony is the only member of the team that can fly. They really need Thor right now. The clash comes when Hulk leaps into the air and smashes six of them against his bare chest. Steve, Natasha, and Clint work hard taking out the doombots one by one. It is exhausting and there are just too many. Loki uses her magic to conjure up illusions of the team that the doombots will target. It works. The fake Avengers draw the fire of the doombots. Loki casts invisibility on the others and the team is able to sneak up on the machines and take them out with ease. But there are still too many. To everyone’s horror, the machines appear to be repairing themselves, and get back up.
Von Doom finally appears in Central Park, with the scepter in hand. Loki goes after him. Von doom is using the magic of the scepter to repair the doombots as the battle wages. Loki has to get the scepter from him.
Loki summons fire and hurls it at the villain in a repeated barrage. Doom just laughs at her. It will take much more heat than that to do him any true harm.
“I can feel the scepter calling to you, you know. This thing really likes you.” Von Doom says.
“Then why don’t you be a nice gentleman and hand it over to the lady.” Steve says as he appears on the hill. Steve and Loki attack him together. Doom aims the scepter at Steve and discharges a blue ball of energy at him. Steve repels it with his shield. Loki turns blue and leaps on Von Dooms back and tries using her withering touch on him. It works, sort of. Von Dooms whole body stiffens as if frozen in place. For a brief second Loki and Steve share a look of victory, until the doombots come.
“Loki the scepter!” Steve shouts. Loki takes the scepter out of Von Dooms hands. She’s not sure how to use it to control the doombots but she gives it a try.
Loki can hear the scepter whispering to her. The hair on the back of her neck stands up on end as the power of the object courses up her arm. She uses her mind to reach out to the power within, focusing on her desire for all the doombots to drop dead. It works. Every doombot across the city falls over lifeless as a rag doll. But something else happens that Loki did not expect.
“….you took me for a purpose, what was it? TELL ME!.....I remember a shadow….living in the shade of your greatness…..I’m listening.”
“AHHHHHHH!” Loki screams as the flood of over 3000 years of memories floods her mind. Steve and the others look on in fear and horror as the blue light of the spear engulfs Loki with its power. Loki crumples to the ground.
The surge of magic ends and Loki looks down at HIS hands, HIS arms, and HIS body. He remembers everything from before all the way up until the point where the Hulk smashed him into the ground. And he remembers everything after the moment of rebirth. The only gap missing is the sentencing and execution itself. But that detail is unimportant now.
Steve watches as the woman he loves transforms back into the villain that wanted to enslave the human race, and his heart breaks. Even Clint, who had finally warmed to Loki looks like he is about to cry.
But the one crying is Loki. He is on his knees looking up at the man he has grown to love, and his friends. The Avengers are his friends. Steve is his lover. He’s been in love with a mortal. A mortal! Self-hate, loathing, and guilt floods Loki as the memories of what he did combine with his new love for these people. He tilts his head back and lets out a cry of deepest suffering.
“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” Loki sobs openly in front of them and no one knows what to do. Loki is still clutching the scepter as he cries out in anguish. Slowly everyone walks towards Loki, proceeding cautiously. Loki senses their presence and looks up into Steve’s eyes.
“I was happy.” And he disappears.
