Hello friends. Just thought I'd like to see more AU stories on this so here it is…
Loki ran a hand down his face as he looked out the window of his penthouse. He scanned the buildings of New York as he did every morning. Like clockwork, he woke at 7:30am and made himself a batch of coffee. He held his mug up to his mouth and gently blew on the hot liquid. He sighed as he looked down at the small figures on the street, too busy with their own lives to notice anyone watching.
He went to dress in his sweats for his morning run.
Loki was the son of a wealthy politician. His life had been run from the very beginning by Odin's advisors and campaign leaders. Everything from how he dressed to the college he attended was chosen for him to better his father's chances at the polls. He had always complied with their wishes but it wasn't for the votes; he did it for his father's approval. Something he had never gained. No matter what he did, nothing seemed to be enough.
He arrived in central park on time at 8am and placed his ear buds in. Loki warmed up as he listened to 'Kings and Queens' by 30 Seconds to Mars. When he felt stretched enough, he started into a slow jog. The cold air pierced his lungs and his brow furrowed as he tried to ignore the freezing bite of winter on his face.
As his ipod went silent in between songs, he heard a second pair of footfalls behind him. He turned his head slightly and looked behind him with his peripheral vision. A tall man dressed in black jogged behind him. Something felt off to Loki so without placing attention on himself, he turned off his music completely. He followed the trail over a bridge and noticed another man, dressed in black karate pants and a royal blue sweater, fell in behind him next to the other.
Loki felt his breathing pick up and not from his exercise. His gut was telling him to get out of there quickly. He stopped suddenly and carefully watched the men pass by him down the trail. He laughed at himself when he saw that they really were just joggers. He decided he had enough exercise for one day and turned to return to his car.
He neared his car and pulled out his keys. As Loki searched for the right one, he felt himself being grabbed roughly from behind and shoved in a different direction. He started to struggle and felt his ipod being ripped out of his ears. It was the two men that had been behind him earlier who harshly yanked him toward their white van.
"Get off me!" Loki shouted.
"Shut up!" The one in black spit.
Loki continued to struggle and began yelling for help.
"Hey!" The two men stopped pulling him. They looked in the direction the voice came from and saw a police officer, who had been writing a ticket for an improperly parked vehicle and saw them, running toward them. They seemed to panic because they shoved him to the ground and made a run for their vehicle.
Loki backed away on the ground and took deep shaky breaths to calm himself. 'What just happened?'
The van sped away and the cop came running back over to him, "Are you alright, son?"
Loki looked up at him wide-eyed and frantic. He attempted to control his fear as he nodded quickly. He took the officer's hand as it was offered to help him up.
"Come on. Let's go to the station to fill out a report." The officer guided a frightened Loki to his squad car.
Okay, what do ya'll think? I'm not sure if I want to continue or not so it depends on what you guys say. If any of you want to use the idea, be my guest, but please let me know first as I would love to hear your ideas and thoughts.
Ya'll are awesome!
Goodnight!
