Summary: Loki notices the Black Widow instantly.



Of course, he notices her instantly. She quite obviously stands out from the rest of the Avengers, and though, it's hardly a surprise he does notice her - what with spying on his brother's comrades for months, Loki is intrigued by her, more than anyone else.

She is like a nimble cat among the brutish, testosterone-heavy men. She's cool and calm, and she brushes aside any male advances as if she were better, that she is even a goddess herself.

Perhaps in her mind she thinks she is.

Loki likes to watch her, with that bouncy red hair and the way her clothes mold perfectly around her body, hugging her as she jumps and twists through the air like an agile spider. He supposes its why she's named that way, and if she ever feels inclined to tell someone her back story, Loki will quickly bend his ear her way.

But she won't. She's far too clever and secretive, and he finds something about the way Natasha observes everyone to be very telling. A mysterious woman like that is only trouble, Loki thinks, but it's the kind of trouble he definitely cannot resist.

He loses himself sometimes, staring at her and delighting in her every move. It surprises him a little, to be this intrigued with a mortal. He can't quite translate his fascination with her, and he only hopes that his nature isn't going to be sullied by emotions, not like his brother Thor toward that insufferable Jane.

If anything, he sees the Black Widow as a living, moving art form. It's innocent enough to watch, he thinks. She doesn't see him in the shadows anyway.

But when she does, he only slips his mask a little, and as their eyes meet, Loki knows that intrigue suddenly becomes mutual.
