"I'm going to rip her to shreds," your growl at the book before you.

"Wouldn't Alice be dead?" Vision inquires, watching you rip another page out.

"I'll drag her corpse out the ground then." Vision pales at your words, nodding solemnly to delve back into his book. "Stupid, stupid, stupid girl!" your ax was summoned and brought down onto the book making the walls rumble a little.

"What did she do? You obviously have a reason," Bucky asks, shining his arm.

"Don't get me started," you fall back in silence against the couch cushions before looking to the rotting book. "She was 'the perfect being' as father said, the real savior of Wonderland! Blonde hair, blue eyes, perfect manners, most beautiful girl to grace the land and the most 'worthy' person of any praise!" you used your heel to hit the book again and again. "PERFECT PEOPLE DON'T FUCKING DIE FROM CHUTRIDGE BITES!" dusters hit your face yet again.

"Calm down," Loki passes by with his tea in hand, sitting on the couch beside your lowered figure seated on the ground. He held a handkerchief down to wipe your eyes before allowing you to do the rest.

"Don't tell me to calm down or I'll pour boiling tea over your Crown Jewels," you threaten but he merely laughs quietly.

"What's a Chutridge?" Pietro asks after careful thought that it wasn't a well known animal.

"Nasty critters the size of my palm," you hold your hand up and glare at the empty spot. "They'll bite you and inject their venom but it's only lethal from the pinky finger," you wiggle the small finger with a deeper glare.

"She died in 1934," Steve looks to Bucky who nods.

"It takes long for the venom to kick in, especially especially for humans... and when antidote isn't given within 17 hours,"

"You... knew?!" Clint gapes.

"Of course not! Cheshire saw it but didn't say anything until after she left," You felt Loki pat your head.

"At least you got the satisfaction of knowing she passed," he hums, Thor shaking his head in disapproval. Your head tilted onto Loki's knee, eyes watching the pages curling from the decaying book, his hand resting in your hair to twirl his fingers through.

Both of you focused on your own entertainment; him with a book, mug floating beside him while you curled your knees to your chest and focusing on the new show Wanda said to watch; Sherlock.

"He looks like Strange doesn't he?" You tilt your head to Cap who nods, watching as well. "The accent suits him better, love the curly hair too," pretending to grasp at his hair on the screen, Loki deepened his scowl at the screen.

"You'll like the villain of the show... well, main villain," Nat walks by, throwing you a candy bar.

"A villain is created never born, a villain is the hero in their story, a villain is only hated until understood," ripping the wrapping away, you nibble away. "Hatter always said that like a prayer to my father when there was an unjust conviction,"

"Good out-look on life," Sam notes, sitting down next to Steve.

"THAT'S MORIARTY?!" You gasp making Loki jump out of his mini world in the depths of the book.

"Like him?" Nat grins from your to Loki who was glaring to the screen.

"Doesn't excuse the fact he's killed people but depends why he's doing it-"

"He's just a psychopath," Steve shakes his head. "Everyone likes him but-" Your hand leaps to cover his mouth, your body in an awkward position to shut him up.

"Hush, he's pretty to look at," narrowing your sight at the Captain, he nods in fear.

No one ever gets to me... and no one ever will

"Hey, Peter! What do you call fans that would do anything for the character?" you shout to the hall.

"Simps!"

"Yeah, I'm a simp," everyone rolls their eyes as you scramble back in your spot. Wanda, Nat and Thor all high five each other, spotting the reactions Loki was giving.

But the flirting's over, Sherlock, Daddy's had enough now!

The girls tilt their heads forward to see a you flush your face into your knees with a heat in your cheeks. You tried to say something, anything at all but instead taking a pillow from the couch and walking away in a calm manner.

"Is she okay?" Bucky looks to Wanda who grins.

"Just give her a moment," Nat taps her wrist, smiling when your scream rung out, slightly muffled. "There we go,"

"What happened??"

"Just a scream," Peter pops his head out from the vents, Clint doing the same beside him. "It could either be a 'I can't believe they did that', 'I'm utterly in love' or 'that shouldn't have turned me on but it did',"

"Queens!"

"It's true-"

"And it's happened to me too," Clint admits.

You walk back into the room again as if nothing had occurred. Nat glances knowingly at you, raising a suggestive brow which you quirk at, "what?"

"How are you feeling, Y/n?" Thor asks with the same look as Nat.

"Fine? Why are you all acting so odd? Have you all gone mad?"

"No, not at all..." Wanda drums her fingers along her knee, watching you settle back down as Loki resumed his reading and twirling of your hair.

The god had to take a moment, watching as you moved from his touch, his lips pursing in confusion and concern in case he had done something wrong. Instead, he froze when you sat next to him, head laying in his lap with a pillow between to elevate your head.

"Sorry, It's just comfy like this," you explain without taking your eyes off the TV. "This is... alright, right?"

"Yes, don't worry," he lets out a small sigh, hand running over your upper arm then back to your hair. Despite unable to see, you both had small smiles tugging on your lips as the group looked to each other smugly, money being exchanged subtly.
