A Tale of Mischief and Mutants part 2

Spoons

—-Thor—-

We finally reach an agreement on the plan after getting some analytics from S.H.I.E.L.D we were able to pinpoint the exact center for the power source and input for the entire dome. This is the most likely place for Mojo's control room to be. Some of us are going to cause a distraction for Mojo's enforcers (which the X-men are referring to as the Reavers), included in that group is a young lady with an ability that can cause their teleportation devices to break.

I'm going to be in that group because they already know I'm upset about Loki and Sam being taken. It wouldn't raise any suspicion for me to be doing something so reckless because they already saw me almost do something rash earlier. As soon as the group I'm with has dealt with the Reavers as a threat we will join the others in the control room.

I sincerely hope that this Mojo was aware of precisely who he was meddling with when he came to Earth, neither the Avengers nor the X-men are to be taken lightly. Even less so when their fellow members are threatened. As we leave to carry out the plan I'm more than ready for the battle ahead.

—-Sam—-

As we near the place the hostages are waiting I hear the sound of two pieces of mettle clinking together. My brain immediately jumps to the smoke monster because it can make noises similar to that but I quickly remember that the thing can't cross the water to get over here. As we continue walking past some brush it's revealed that the noise in question is Tom Hiddleston's famous spoon playing. I tease him making our presence known.

"You seriously just had those on you?"

Both men are startled by my voice Tom stops playing and they both look in my direction looking scared for a split second before realizing it's only Loki and I. I feel a pang of guilt. I wasn't thinking, I didn't mean to scare them, after all they've been through today of course they're jumpy. David seems a little shaken by it but Tom doesn't seem too bothered his fear is immediately replaced with a smile.

"I always carry a pair..."

His eyes land on Shawn as Loki steps out of the brush behind me carrying him. Shawn is in pretty bad shape he's mentally drained from staring at a screen for hours and he hasn't reopened his eyes since we removed the speculums from them. I don't think he's asleep he's been shaking the whole walk over here and has reacted positively to my attempts to comfort him.

"Is he okay?!"

David also looks concerned stepping closer to Loki to inspect Shawn.

"What happened to him?!"

Loki looks at me to explain, I try my best to explain room 23. Everyone lets my explanation sink in. Tom braves stepping closer to Loki at my explanation his face is full of concern for his costar. He looks over Shawn who Loki has set down and is now leaning against a tree his eyes are still closed and he's shaking. Tom puts a hand on Shawn's shoulder.

"How long was he in there?"

I kneel down next to him looking Shawn over myself.

"We don't know."

Tom shakes his head.

"He needs a doctor."

"We'll get him to one. I'm sorry to ask you to do this again but we're going to have to leave you alone one more time, after that we should be able to leave."

He nods slightly his attention isn't focused on Loki or myself though, his eyes are preoccupied with looking from Shawn to Amy in dismay. I stand then put my hand on his shoulder and he looks at me.

"We have to go, remember what I told you. Stay safe."

He nods again and Loki and I take off. I feel guilty about Shawn if we had gotten to him sooner the effects of the torture wouldn't be so extreme. I feel terrible. Loki glances at me as we leave then once we're a good ways away from the group he stops and takes my hand.

"We did the best we could darling, we didn't waste a moment when we figured out where he was."

"I should have been able to figure it out sooner, they did something similar in the show-"

He cuts me off.

"Sam it is not your fault."

He observes my face seeing I'm on the verge of tears.

"Oh love..."

He takes me in his arms.

"You do realize if not for your knowledge of the situation we'd still be wandering around on the other island correct? And that's if we were lucky. You've done beautifully today, remaining calm in the face of adversity, running from monsters, defeating enemies, and calming storms of emotions both from yourself and others all while facing the worst aspect of womanhood. Darling I'm impressed."

I still feel kinda guilty but I also can't hold back a smile as he pulls away to look at me. I feel like my face is on fire at all his compliments. I have to get him back.

"You haven't done so bad either trouble, most guys wouldn't be so patient about all the period stuff."

He smiles.

"Well we both know I'm not most guys."

I laugh and tease him.

"No you're a strange one."

He smiles an insanely handsome smile and rolls his eyes slightly.

"Look who's talking."

"Alright that's enough of that, if you don't stop being such a suave motherfucker we'll never get this mission done."

He laughs and we continue on our way back to the boat so we can get to other island, to the heart of the island, Mojo's control room.
