Why not me?

"Loki?" Wanda murmurs as she opens her eyes.

A pair of lips connect with her hair, softly.

"Yes, my love?" Loki whispers from above her. "Would you like to get up?"

"Yes." Wanda mumbles.

"What was that, Little Witch?" He asks. "I couldn't hear you."

"Yes." She says through gritted teeth. "I'm still sore, though."

"That's to be expected. The cut on your back was large." He stops, before adding, "Would you like me to carry you?"

"No, no, I'll be fine." She say, placing her hands on the bed and pushing herself up slowly, her hair a mess.

He sighs and extends a hand, allowing her to grip it and keep her up.

"I don't need to be babied." Wanda says, but grips Loki's hand.

Loki let's out an annoyed breath, something he did often, and guides his arms under her knees and body.

"I can do this myself." She says in an exasperated breath.

"Mhm." Loki mumbles sarcastically. "Do you want to pick something out to wear? Or do you want me to do it?"

"I'll do it. Leave the room for now." She replies.

He nods, and Wanda tries to stand up, leaning on the wall for support.

She pulls off her jacket, now realizing that Loki changed everything she was wearing from red to black.

She feels the dry blood come off of her skin, and she pulls off her corset, then the pants, then the tang top.

She pulls off her underwear, then pulls a different one, then pulls on a pair of blue jeans.

She pulls her bra off, pulling a different one on, a black and Lacey one.

She pulls on a black shirt, then a sage green jacket, and a pair of combat boots that she had both here and at the Avengers Compound.

"I'm done!" She calls to Loki, and he comes in.

"Wanda." He states, seriously. She tilts her head in confusion.

"Loki." She answers with a soft smile. "What's wrong?"

"Me and Polaris-Lorna-didn't want to keep this from you. But you have to see this." He claims coldly, a tone shes never really heard from him when he talks to her.

"Didn't want what? To keep what from me?" She tilts her head slightly.

"You need to see. What we saw." He says, and releases a heavy breath of air.

"What you saw?" She questions. "What did you see?"

"Come downstairs. Then we'll talk."

"Just tell me." She says, and he doesn't say anything. "Fine, whatever."

...

She pulls out something to eat; he sees she's going to make a smoothie.

Yogurt, milk, strawberries.

She does it quickly, issuing her magic.

"So, what did you want to tell me?" She asks, pulling out a glass and pouring the drink into it.

Just ask Loki was about to speak, Lorna comes running in. "We found them!" She cries with a smile.

"You found what?" Wanda asks, tilting her head in confusion.
