Loki knew he'd have to inform someone about Sarah's movement.
"I must go." He whispers, hoping Sarah would still hear him.
He let go of her hand, and walked over to the doorway.
He peeked his head into the hallway.
And not to his surprise, nobody was there.
I mean, it was still early.
The only people Loki knew were up was Bruce and Tony.
He didn't want to leave the room, though he might have to if nobody wakes up or comes by soon.
"Hello?" Loki says, a bit quietly.
No response from anyone.
"Hello?" He asks, a bit louder.
He was about to give up and go back into the room, but suddenly, he heard a door opened. He looked for which door is could be, but he didn't have to.
Soon, Bucky stuck his head out the doorway.
"What the hell?" He asks.
He didn't like mornings, either.
Loki motioned for him to come over to where he was.
Bucky narrows his eyes, confused.
If she'd woken up, he'd be shouting it.

Bucky puts up a finger, indicating to wait one minute. He peeked his head back in his room, and grabbed a shirt.
He pulled it over his head, and immediately left the room.
He walked down the hall, heading over to where Loki stood.
"What's wrong?" He asks Loki, walking into the room.
Bucky hovers over Sarah's bed, looking down at her.
"Hold her hand." Loki tells Bucky.
"What?"
"Oh for crying out loud, just do it." Loki rolls his eyes.
Bucky holds her hand, gently, and looks back at Loki.
"Why?" He asks him.
"Ask her something." Loki answers.
Bucky narrows his eyes, confused. She wasn't awake, so how would she answer him?
He sighed, "I don't know, are you okay?"
He waits for Loki to say something else.
What was supposed to happen?
"Just wait." Loki says.
So, Bucky waits, confused as hell.
...
I can hear, still.
"I must go." And slowly, I feel Loki's hand let go of mine.
I didn't even know what was going on.
I wanted to, though.
But I couldn't.
I waited, waited for anything at all.

While I waited, I looked around what seemed to be my dream.
It was like I was lucid dreaming.
But not really.
It was really weird.
I can hear what's going on, and I can feel what's going on.
But I wasn't awake at all.
I was stuck in this weird dream land.
And the dreams changed so often, I couldn't keep track.

Suddenly, I can hear faint footsteps walking up to my bedside.
I assumed it was Loki again.
But I couldn't tell unless they spoke.
"What's wrong?" I hear. And this time, it's Bucky.
"Hold her hand." Loki tells him.
The voices were faint, when someone was farther away.
But I could still hear him.
"What?" Bucky asks, clearly confused.
"Oh for crying out loud, just do it."
I wanted to chuckle at his response, but I really couldn't.
I don't know if I could even do that when I'm not awake.
Soon, I feel a hand in mine.
Bucky.
"Why?" He asks Loki.
"Ask her something."
I waited to hear what he asked.
I wanted to make sure I could give him some sort of response.
"I don't know, are you okay?" He asks me.
I try to move my hand again, but it was hard each time.
I try so hard.
But it doesn't budge.
"Just wait." Loki says, confidently.
I tried to squeeze his hand, but I couldn't.
But I had to keep trying.
It worked before, I could do it again.
I had to.
...
A few moments pass by, and she still hadn't moved.
"What are you trying to prove?" Bucky asks, a mix of upset and annoyed.
"Just wait! You'll see.. you have to." Loki answers, a bit scared now.
What if she didn't respond?
Bucky rolls his eyes, and waits. Standing there silently.
Was this some kind of trick?
He waited some more time, just waiting.
Loki's eyes, without notice, began to water the slightest bit.
"This is some sort of trick." Bucky mutters, about to let go of her hand.
But just then, he's held back.
He felt his hand being squeezed.
His eyes widen with shock and hope.
He looks down at Sarah, and back to Loki.
Loki grins, happier.
"Do it again." He says excitedly, smiling.
He waits a few moments...
And she does it again.
He laughs, glad there was a new form of hope.
"Again." He chuckles.
He waits a few more moments..
And she does it once again.
"Oh my God, does this mean she'll wake up soon?" Bucky asks Loki, looking to him.
"Ask the professionals." Loki smiles.
Bucky looks back down at Sarah, "I'll be right back, don't move."
Loki raises an eyebrow at Bucky, and he realizes what he said.
"Well, it's not like you can. But, still." Bucky chuckles, letting go of her hand, and leaving the room to go find Bruce.
He could always look for Tony, considering he was basically a genius.
But he wouldn't believe it, and he'd probably ignore him anyways.
As Bucky was looking for Bruce, he ran into Thor, Clint, and Natasha
Not literally.
Apparently, everybody just suddenly woke up.
"You look happy." Nat says.
"Yeah, do you know where Bruce is?" He asks her.
"I haven't seen him, yet." She answers.
