The collector

(Y/N)'s pov: 

"Are you okay?" Loki asks holding my hair up while I throw up. I gag a few times before I sit back against Loki's chest on the bathroom floor. He wipes my mouth with a cloth and helps me up. He takes hold of me under my knees and picks me up. 

Since Phil died I've been sick. I can't keep my food in, I have a faver all the time, I can't even walk or dress on my own. 

"I need to do some work, I'll be back in a few ours." Loki says and tries to lay me down but I wrap my arms around his neck, keeping him from laying me down. "I want to come with you." I say. 

"You need to rest, little one." He says and tries to lay me down again but I keep my arms wrapt around him. He sighs and looks down at me. "You're not gonna let go, are you?" He asks and I shake my head. 

"Okay. But just for this once." He says and starts walking out of the room. I lean my head against his chest and close my eyes. 

The ritme of his steps rock me to sleep, untill he tries to lay me down again. I wrap my arms around his neck again and my eyes fly open. "It's okay, we're in my office." He says and I let him lay me down on the small green couch. "Get some rest." He wispers while stroking my hair and kissing my forehead. 

Loki walks to his desk and starts reading some papers. I lay my head down and close my eyes, falling into a dreamless sleep. 

I wake up to a wonderful smelling scent. I take a deep breath and emediatly start coughing. "Hey hey, it's okay." He says and helps me to sit up. I stop coughing and try to take deep breaths. 

"I got you some food." He says in a gentle voice. I nod and he gives me a plate of food. 

After Loki made me eat the half of the plate of food and drink my cup of tea, I lay back down on the couch with my head in Loki's lap. "Are you okay?" He asks, running his fingers trough my hair. 

"My head hurts." I say and close my eyes. 

Loki's pov:

My princess lays with her head in my lap while I run my fingers trough her hair. Her breath is even and heavy, telling me she fell asleep. I smile and lay my hand  on her forehead, she is glowing. She's isn't reacting well on the potion I'm giving her.

But on the other side it's good. She lets me help her with almost everything so we're making progress.

I'm pulled out of my thoughts by a knock on the door. The door opens and a guard walks in.

"My king, there is a man waiting for you. He says he is the collector and you requested for him." The guards says after he bowed.

"Yes that's right. Bring him here." I say.

The guard looks at my little princess in my lap. "Shall We bring her back to your room, my king?" He asks and I shake my head.

"No it's okay, she can stay here." I say and the guard nods and walks out of the room.

A little later he comes back with the collector behind him.

"Aah Loki! Good to see you!" He says in a loud voice and then looks at (Y/N) sleeping on my lap. "Oh sorry." He wispers and sits down in a chair oppopposite me.

"It's okay, she can't hear anything. I put a spell on her so she can sleep peacefully." I say and smile to myself.

"She's a pretty thing. But isn't she a little young for you? What is she? your slave? A little whore?" He asks and I can feel the anger build up in me. "She isn't my slave or my whore. She is... my daughter, kind of." I say and he immediately Puts his hands up.

"Oh I'm sorry." He says.

"let's get down to business shall we?" I ask.

"Ah yes! You want an infinity stone. Well I got one, but I want something in return." He says and I mentally roll my eyes.

"Of course you do." I say.

"Well, maybe you can give me that pretty thing you got there. I can learn her a lot of things." He smirks.

"No!" I say in a loud and stern voice which makes his grin disappear. I look down at (Y/N) and stroke her hair out of her face."I have another idea." I smirk. "I have the avengers, Earth's mightiest heroes." I say rolling my eyes.

"Well, not everyone can say, that they have the avengers." The collector smirks. "I want to see them." He says.

"You can but only when I'm sure you can give me what I want." I say.

"Well I have it not with me of course, that would be dangerous."

"Well then we'll have to make another appointment." I say.

He nods. "But you are coming to me, I don't want to risk my life by travelling with an infinity stone." I nod and sigh. "I guesse I will have to come to you then." I say. 

The collector stands up and shakes my hand. "It was good doing business with you Loki." He says and walks out of the room. 

I pick (Y/N) up and start walking to my room. I can feel her soft breathing against my neck when she snuggles her head more into my neck. I smile and walk into my room. 

I lay her down in my bed and kiss her forehead.
