Loki X Reader: Parallel 19

             In pure frustration, you stormed up to the building and slammed your foot against it. The sound of sirens going off covered up the sound of popping joints and startled you into taking a step back on your damaged foot, sending pain shooting to your brain. You turned to flee, but didn’t get far. Tony had been very thorough in the programming of his defense systems to ensure that no trespassers would get away without being dealt with first. A grid of wire had been laid all around the perimeter under the ground: one that would deliver an electric shock with enough voltage to render the victim unconscious when stepped on.
      Not even thinking about the security measures Tony would have taken, you took off for the street like a jackrabbit. Just before your foot landed on a wire, a voice called out, “Stop!”
      Startled, you whirled around, throwing off your center of balance and falling to the ground, right on top of the wire. Thankfully, the same person who had called out to you had simultaneously punched in the code to deactivate the security system. They now rushed forward to where you were and helped you to your feet.
      “My Jaysus, but that was a close one! I keep telling Mr. Stark that his security system is going to get an innocent person injured one of these days, but does he listen? No. You’re lucky I was here. Now, quickly, come inside. You don’t know what could be lurking out there.” Your rescuer was a brunette woman approximately your age wearing garden gloves and dirt-covered jeans. She tugged on your arm and you followed her willingly inside the Stark tower.
      “I was tending the grounds when the attack started,” she began to explain. “They just came out of that hole in the sky, raining death down all around, and that ain’t no horse’s hoof. I got inside right quick and hid myself. I could hear the sounds from inside, and when everything was quiet I decided to see for myself what was going on. That’s when I found you, bless your heart. Just in time too.”
      “Thank you, I appreciate it very much,” you replied.
      “Now, seeing as how it is pretty much safe outside, is there something I can do you for? Otherwise you’ll have to make an appointment to see Mr. Tony another day.”
      “Well, I was here with my catering company and I seemed to have left an earring behind,” you quickly responded.
      “Ah, well, I suppose I can help you with that. Where would you say it might be?” The woman headed for the elevator with you trailing not too far behind.
      “U-upstairs. The room where there’s a balcony where Mr. Stark lands in the iron suit. That’s right, h-he sent me there to get his favorite brandy from the bar there.” The words were starting to pour out of your mouth at a fast rate, the nerves getting to you at last. You were trespassing and you didn’t even know why.
      “Yes, well, that sounds like Mr. Tony alright. Just so you know, my name’s Bernie,” the woman told you while pressing a button to summon the elevator. The doors opened and let you on and you waited awkwardly with Bernie while the elevator rose to the top floor.
       Once the doors started to open, you could feel the draft of cold air blowing in from the broken window. Bernie frowned when she saw the state of the room. “Why, this place is all a-flitters! Just what happened here I wonder?”
       “I wonder…” You started to walk into the room, but Bernie held you back.
       “I don’t think you’ll be finding that earring of yours in this mess. If we find it, I’ll have it sent to you,” she said quickly.
       “No, really, I can see it from here.” You pulled away and ran past the bar, where you found exactly what you didn’t realize you had been looking for. “Loki..”
