the words you've been reading over and over again are beginning to blur. you can't find it in yourself to care too much, instead choosing to shut the book and stare at the door. your fingers are tapping on the hard plastic protecting the thin cot underneath you, and you try to concentrate on the noise rather than the worry you can't seem to shake.

they were supposed to be back by now, you think, teeth finding your bottom lip. you weren't allowed on this mission. while they said the reason you were staying was because they didn't need everyone, the blatant absence of every single avenger and extended hero said the opposite. you knew the reality was that the threat you weren't even informed about was greater than usual, and while you had powers, they weren't as helpful as others when it came to fighting.

so you were stuck waiting for the teammates you hadn't heard from for nearly ten hours, only able to stand by until they inevitably came back with cuts and bruises for you to fix. halting the thought of if before you could think more of it, you stood, beginning to set up all the medical equipment you usually use for when they arrive. you're distracting yourself with pointlessly organizing popsicle sticks that you won't need when you hear the unmistakable sound of footsteps on the hallway. you immediately look out your open door, expecting to see the avengers, bringing the smell of blood and exhaustion, not... loki.

you can't seem to stop how your lips part and your eyes follow him as he nears, suddenly catching his eyes through the movement of the agents surrounding him. your face heats when his lips quirk up in a small smile, sending you a flirty wink before he's passed and you are left staring at the trace of him. you're in a trance, and as much as you'd like to blame it on the god's magic, you know it's simply how attracted you are to him, even when you know you shouldn't be.

you've never had a conversation with the god, barely been in the same vicinity as him, and your mind seems to be flooded with him. the avengers rarely talk about him, and on the occasion they do, it's never remotely kind. you understand why- you saw the damage he'd caused in new york, but the more you read on him, the more you can somewhat understand why he did it, as inappropriate as it is. you'd asked thor to bring you books from asgard that loki has read and asked him to tell you about loki.

you can't help it- the god is intriguing; it's so magnificent how powerful he is that it nears terrifying, and he's so stunning you're concerned you'd make a fool of yourself in front of him, or cut your fingers on his cheekbones (although how the hell would your fingers get there? you prefer to not think too much into your impossible fantasies).

you're not even completely certain that what just happened actually happened- because there is no way loki laufeyson looked at a puny mortal like you and didn't gag.

a hand dropping on your shoulder is what snaps you out of it, turning around to see sam and bucky, "you good?" sam asks, and you nod, scanning the men for the injuries they came to you for. sam has a large gash along his thigh that you can see through a slash on his uniform, and forming bruises along the rest of his body, tiny cuts scattered on his face. bucky is considerably better, his speed healing is helping. there is dried blood that you'll clean later on his face, small and slightly more serious cuts all over him but already healing, and a clearly dislocated shoulder that he set.

"alright, sam, you know the drill. bucky, please don't grab any medical supplies and stitch anything like last time and just let me do my thing," you request, lowering the stretcher so sam doesn't stress any of his injuries when he sits. "lay down so i can get to work on that cut on your leg, sam."
