Who am I? (A Sequel to 'Who are You?' A Loki love story)

Chapter Three - Reunited

"Nope."
"Sophie, I'm not letting you walk."
"I'm fine."
"No you aren't. You're going to collapse before you take five steps."
"I'm not going to get in a wheelchair!" I exclaim. Bruce sighs. We've spent the past few minuets arguing about how he thinks I need to be in a wheelchair to move.
"Fine." He huffs. I raise my eyebrows. "You're making me do this." I frown, confused. "Jarvis, can you tell Loki I need him down here please?"
"Yes sir."
"That's not fair!" I whine. "and since when did everyone suddenly become okay with Loki?" I had noticed that. They were all a little more comftorable around him. He and Nat even seemed like, dare I say it, friends. Bruce looks uncomftorable with the question.
"Since we saw how much it destroyed him when you died. How much he actually had changed." He finally sighs.
"Banner?" Loki's voice calls from the elevator in the hallway.
"In here." Bruce calls back. A second later, Loki swirls into the lab.
"What's wrong?" He asks, worried. Bruce looks pointedly at me, and Loki turns to me as well, waiting for an explination. I cross my arms over my chest.
"I am NOT getting in a wheelchair." I say, glaring at both of them. Loki gets a relieved look on his face before chuckling.
"She's being stubborn, is she?"He asks Bruce.
"You have no idea." Bruce sighs. "She's insisting she can walk, even though she knows she can't, and refuses to even try a wheelchair." He says. "Can you talk to her?"
"Oh, she won't listen to me." Loki says, and I shrug. "But she doesn't need a wheelchair." I look up suprised.
"What? Really?" I say. smiling. Loki smirks, and before I realize what he's doing, he's scooped me up, carrying me bridal style. I groan, and he chuckles. "Not funny." I mutter.
"That works just as well." Bruce says, laughing. I glare at him. "Has Tony kept the others from saying anything about Sophie?" He asks as we walk out of the lab and to the elevator.
"He has, believe it or not. Something about blackmail?" Bruce sighs.
"Of course he has."
"Pepper is going to kill him." I say. Bruce just nods. The elevator opens to the floor wehrer everyone is at, and I see both Pepper and Kim on the couch facing away from us. I see the others shooting glares at Tony, and an unfamiliar woman sits next to Thor's girlfriend. I really should learn her name, but in my defence, I only met her an hour ago, and that was when I had woken up at my funeral.
"Who's that?" The unfamiliar girl asks. I see Pepper turn wearily around, glancing at me with sad eyes before looking back down. She suddenly stifens, and her head jerks back up, her eyes meeting mine.
"S-Sophie?" She squeaks out, and Kim whirls around too.
"Whoa. The dead girl? Freaky." the girl says.
"Tony, you're cruel." I say, glaring at him. "Yes, it's me. And Tony knew it too." Loki starts walking over to the couch. "Loki, put me down." I order, and he chuckles before setting me on the couch next to Pepper and flopping down next to me. I punch him in the arm. "you're mean." I mutter, and he rolls his eyes before kissing my forehead.
"And you're stubborn." He says. "Where is the point in your argument?" He asks. I'm about to respond, but I feel someone touch my arm. I turn and see Kim.
"They said-"
"That I was dead?" I interupt.
"You had no-" It's Pepper this time.
"Heartbeat? I did, but it was too faint to pick up." They both just sort of stare at me.
"ANTHONY!" Pepper suddenly yells, turning around. Kim stands up.
"I'm in trouble, aren't I?" He asks. They both nod. He jumps out of the chair and sprints out if the room, Pepper and Kim hot on his heels. I laugh and turn to Bruce.
"Told ya." I say. He nods, laughing along with Steve, Clint,and Thor. "But don't forget you all knew about it too." Well that shuts them up.
"Whoa. Teach me how to do that!" The girl exclaims, looking at their now colorless faces.
"Sure!" I say with a laugh. "Wait, who are you?"
"I'm Darcy, Jane's assistant." She says, holding out her hand. I shake it.
"And I'm Jane, Thor's girlfriend." the other girl says, and I shake her hand too.
"Well, I'm Sophie." I say. "Loki's girlfriend." They both look a little taken aback, raising their eyebrows.
"Well, uh, thats.... great." Jane says. Obviously she's met Loki on one of his not so good days.
"Are you crazy?" Darcy asks. Jane hits her. "Ow! What? I was just wondering! I mean, she is dating him, isn't she?"
"I'm not, but I'm pretty sure you are." I say. Jane nods.
"I've been meaning to get her looked at." She says with a laugh.
"You're both mean." Darcy mumbles. Jane rolls her eyes, and Thor laughs again.
"And anyway, you don't know him like I do." I say, poking Loki in the side. "He may seem like a total psyhcopath that tried to take over the world, but really, he's just a big teddy bear with four kids." That gets some raised eyebrows, and Loki goes pale when I drop that little bombshell. He looks at me nervously.
"eheheh... You know about all four of them?" I nod once, looking at him expectantly. "Am I going to have to run like Stark?" I shake my head.
"No. Thor would be in just as much trouble, because he could've told me that too." I say, and I look over at Thor, making him squirm in his seat too. "But what I really want to talk about is the time you and Thor both had to dress like women to get his hammer back." The color drains from both Loki and Thor's faces.
"No way." Darcy says. Loki glares at Thor.
"You said we would never speak of it again!" He half yells.
"I have never spoken of it!" He says back.
"Wait, this actually happened?" Jane asks, looking over at me. I nod.
"I got the whole story. It's...." I trail off. "Interesting to say the least." Loki and Thor both look at me at that. "What? Hel told me the whole thing. She said it seemed like good payback for not telling me you had four kids." I turn to Jane and Darcy. "You would not believe the stories I know about them now." I see Loki gulp.
Pepper and Kim suddenly appear in the doorway. "Tony locked himself in his lab." Kim says, smiling.
"And thats a good thing?" Clint asks.
"Jarvis is making Tony think we're just waiting for him outside the door. " Pepper says. "And when he eventually realizes that we aren't, he is going to realize we've locked him on that floor."
"And that he won't have acsess to any of his suits." Kim adds, flopping down beside me. "He's stuck there until my say so."
"Yours?" Nat asks.
"Yeah, Pepper is his girlfriend. She'll break to easily." Kim looks over at me and punches me in the arm. "Glad you're not dead." She says with a smile.
"Me too." I say with a smile. "And i'm not being tourtured anymore. All in all, It's been a good week."
"Wait, no one said anything about tourture." Darcy says. She and Jane both have worried looks on their faces.
"Oh. I thought Thor would've...." I say. "Nevermind. He can tell you both later."
"Are you sure?" Loki asks, taking my hand, looking at me worried.
"They're going to find anyway, hanging around us. Better sooner than later."
"When did you become so calm about this?" Nat asks, worried.
"I realized that it doesn't matter what happens, It's always going to affect me, and I can't ignore it any longer." I lock gazes with Bruce on that last part, and he looks upset. "I told you it was fine Bruce, we agreed to let it go." I say with a stern voice, raising an eyebrow. "Or do I have to go over there and knock some sense into you?" I hold up my fist, and let it heat up slightly, turning it slightly orange.
"Okay, it's forgotten." Bruce says quickly. "Just stop using your powers, I don't know what the affect will be so just... calm down."
"How many times do I have to tell I'm fine?!" I half yell. But I calm down, letting my fist go back to it's normal color. I get worried looks from around the room. Except for Darcy and Jane, who both just look startled. "I-I'm sorry Bruce. I just..... urgh." I brought my knees to my chest and buried my face in my hands. "I'm just a mess." Loki puts his arms around me, pulling me closer to him.
"You're perfect." He says softly. I roll my eyes at that, making him sigh in frustration. "Learn to accept a compliment alright, then we'll work on your stubborness." He says. I just yawn and nod, laying down on the couch, using his lap as a pillow.
"I'm allowed to sleep, right Bruce? Or is that against the rules too?" I ask. Bruce chuckles.
"Sleep all you want." I slowly nod before letting my eyelids drift shut. The last thing I remember is Loki's long fingers going through my hair.
