Myself & Mischief

1:18 - An Unfortunate Event

I felt Loki take his hands off me. I looked up and he had his head down and his hands in front of him between his knees. "Loki... Say something?" I asked which fear in my voice. He took a big breath and spoke. "How did you..." He was lost for words. "Out of everything you ask me how I killed my so-called mother?" I frowned at him. I inhaled and sighed. "I suffocated her... in her sleep. I smothered her with a pillow. It was the easiest way considering the state I was in" Loki never spoke. He just sat there. "Loki...?" Silent. "Loki say something please!" I shouted. I had just told him everything of my past. This was the hardest thing to do, and he didn't speak. ".. and you can't even talk to me now. I'm going for a walk" I said heartbroken, and I walked out of the room and went to take a walk outside the compound. I walked around for hours. I eventually sat under a large tree, hugged my knees, and cried. Why was I this mess of a person? "Madison..." I looked up startled and saw Steve standing above me panting. He obviously went for a run after the party. "Go away..." I whispered as tears fell down my face. He raised his eyebrows at me and sat beside me, putting an arm around me. "You and Loki have a fight?" He asked. I shook my head. "He won't want me anymore. By now he'll probably be getting ready to head back to Asgard and never see me again" I said. I tried to look at Steve but all I could see was a big blur through the tears in my eyes. He asked why and I told him everything. "Look. He's clearly a good guy now. He loves you. He wouldn't shut up about you all night when you were sat with Nat. It's probably just a lot to take in." I smiled slightly at his attempt to comfort me. "... but why me? I'm a... Murderer" I choked my words before I started to cry again. "Madison. I know how you feel. I killed many people in the war before I went under in the ice. I don't let that stop me from being Captain America. You're a good woman." He gave me a reassuring hug. "I'm sure he will come around" He smiled. "Want me to take in you inside. You're freezing" I nodded. My head hurt. I felt sick and dizzy, and I couldn't breathe very well. I stood up and within seconds everything just went dark.

Steve's P.O.V

"Madison..." I said as I caught her to prevent her falling. I picked her up and carried her into the compound. "I NEED SOME HELP OVER HERE" I shouted. Suddenly, I heard Loki running into the main lounge area. "Madison!?" He called as his eyes were filled with shock. "Wh-What happened?" he spoke as he started to panic. "I don't know Loki, I went outside for a run, she was sat crying, told me everything. She stood up and she just blacked out." Loki's eyes filled with tears. I could tell that he loved her. We quickly got her to the medical room. Loki gently pulled a sheet over her to keep her warm, but it wasn't enough. She was still cold. He sat on the side of the bed and placed his hand on her forehead. I saw a green glow around his hand. "What are you doing?" I asked curiously. The world had got even stranger since I came out of the ice. "I'm using my magic to try and increase her body temperature" he said. His voice was trembling. I've never seen him so scared. The first time I ever saw him he was in Germany trying to rule everybody. Now he was this broken man, scared for the life of the woman he loved. "I'll get the medical team in here" I spoke to him softly as I watched him trying to stay strong. The medical team checked on her regularly and every time I looked in the medical room, Loki was there holding her hand, with tears running down his face. Some nights he even sat singing in another language. His voice was so soft, and it sounded like such a beautiful song. He really wasn't the God that I had fought previously in New York. He had changed.

My eyes slowly opened. I felt so weak and frail. I moved my eyes looking around. I was hooked up to medical machines that were beeping and making all sorts of strange noises. What had happened? How did I get in here? Last I knew I was outside with Steve. I slowly looked to my side and Loki was fast asleep. He was holding my hand and his head was lying on the edge of the bed. I very slowly and weakly moved my hand and stroked my hand through his hair. He stirred a bit and then he slowly woke up. When he realised it was me stroking his head, He looked up at me so quickly with such a huge smile. "You're-You're awake!" He smiled with tears in his eyes. "Finally, after 2 months, you're awake" he smiled and cried as he hugged me carefully but tightly. "Wait, sorry, say that again" I looked at him in shock. "You were in a coma for 2 months..."
