In Another Life • A Loki/Fixing Marvel FanFic

Saving Friendships

The heart rate monitor sounds again. I smell the sterile hospital. I hear faint raindrops of the window. People walking in the hallway.
I don't want to wake up. Stay asleep Miranda. Don't wake up. Please don't wake up.... I hear the door slide open and someone humming walks in.

"Hello Ms. Miranda. Nice to see you this morning." A woman is talking to me. "I'm just checking your vitals nothing much. Remember that date I went on yesterday. The guy wouldn't stop talking about himself. Totally horrible date. Blocked his number too." Wow. I am a therapist in both worlds.

"Amy can you check bed 17 again before you leave?" A man asked out of no where

"Sure. I'll be done with patient in a little." Foot steps walk out. "Well. It was nice talking to you Miranda. Maybe next time I'll come with better news." She walk out.

            Now it's just quiet other then the rain and chattering. I need to go back to sleep. Sleep. Please........

"Who's putting coffee grounds in the disposal? Am I running a bed and breakfast for a biker gang?"

"No. Just a bunch of vigilantes." I walk into the room. They all stand up and I smile. "Wow. Miss me or something?"

"Hey kid." I nod at Tony. "You have anything to say on this matter? Since you know. You're from the future and all?"

"Yes. Some of you will sign and the ones who don't will wither be under campus arrest or go into hiding. This will break the Avengers as they are now."

"Tony. We can't sign this." Cap said.

"We need this so we don't keep causing such destruction."

"You will always cause destruction. Just with these you have no free say. In the future something happens and they send you after the Avengers that went into hiding. You guys have a civil war. The accords people win and the others are thrown in a jail in the middle of the ocean."

"If everyone signs that won't happen." Tony argues

"If everyone signs then I will be on my own, IF I am still here to stop a much bigger threat. Tony you need to realize this won't end well and I need you all together when that threat comes. Because they bring an army 10 times bigger then the New York and they will end up on our front lawn." I point outside. They are all silent now.

"We will be criminals if we don't sign. This is the United Nations we are talking about. It's not World Security Council. It's not SHIELD. It's not HYDRA."

"But it's run by people with agendas, and agendas change." Steve argues with Rhodes

"That's good. That's why I'm here. When I realized what my weapons were capable of in the wrong hands... I shut it down and stopped manufacturing."

"Tony you chose that. If we sign we surrender our right to choose.... Like Miranda said. They will send us against each other and you can't say no."

"Not if we all sign." Caps phone buzzes. Shit

"I have to go." Cap gets up and leaves.

"Shit." They all look at me. "Peggy just died.... Sam go to Steve. He needs a friend. Tony. I need to talk to you. In private."

"Sure. Think about this guy." Tony points to the group then walks away with me.
.....

"What do you need kid?" He sits at his side living room couch.

"Some information is about to come to light and I need to tell you." I pace the floor in front of him.

"Sure kid. Go ahead." I stop. I walk over and sit on his knees. "Woah. I'm not into you like that." I laugh
