Bodega Girl

Wanda's Vision

Mickie lays with her head on Loki's chest. Both of their heartbeats are starting to slow back to normal. Loki runs his fingers through her curls. Sunlight streams through the open doors and envelopes the lovers in a golden glow.

"We can't run forever. They will find us."

"I will not allow them to put you in a cage."

"They are afraid of what I can do. Honestly, so am I."

"I can train with you darling. Help you harness your powers; gain control."

Mickie sits up. "You're not afraid I could hurt you. I literally have no idea what I can do."

"You didn't have these powers in your reality?"

"No, I was just me. Me with the abnormally long lifespan but otherwise I couldn't do any of this. It's like it was turned on when I arrived in this reality."

"I tell you what." Loki props up on an elbow. "We'll head out to the countryside. We'll pack a picnic lunch, and we can work on your powers where no one is around for you to worry about."

"Just you." She sighs. "I know you're trying to make me feel less nervous, Loki, but we aren't on vacation here."

"No, but we are on an adventure. Consider it a journey of self-discovery." He lifts her up until she is straddling him.

"Loki! The French doors are open and we're naked! People can see us."

"This is France, my darling. Passion is a prerequisite." He rolls out from under her and stands up. With one arm he lifts her into the air and spins her around. She giggles uncontrollably.

"I love your laugh." He says.

"I love yours too, baby. I don't think either one of us laugh enough."

He bends down to kiss her again. "I promise you days of laughter, darling."

"Oh really?"

"I'm a god, I decree it."

"Well, baby, can you command some food? After last night," she winks, "I'm starving!"

"As my goddess wishes."

A green glow emanates from Loki's hand to the small table. On it appears a selection of pastries, fruit, juice and coffee.

"Oh Loki," she sighs and starts to reach for her clothes.

"Did I tell you to get dressed darling?"

Her mouth falls open. "You expect me to eat naked?"

"Midgardians are such prudes." Loki remarks as he stands there in all his Asgardian glory. It's taking all her power not to stare at his impressive member. She isn't going to tell him that while she is still a little sore from last night's escapades, she wouldn't mind another round.

Reading her mind, Loki looks at her with concern in his eyes. "I hurt you, Pet?"

"No, no, no Loki. It's fine really. I actually kinda like the feeling." She smiles at him sheepishly.

Loki cocks one eyebrow, "You better sit down and eat, Pet. You're going to need your strength."

Fury paces back and forth, "I told you! I was against this from the start. She should have remained in containment!"

The Avengers are gathered in the conference room. Steve turns to Wanda.

"Anything?"

Wanda focuses deeply. "Nothing, Steve. They are either too far away or Loki is casting a spell to hide their location."
