Loki and Mickie are dozing lazily in bed. "Mickie, darling, I love your skin."
"Haven't you been with a black woman before?"
"You're not black, you're brown. A delicious deep caramel brown" and he begins to kiss her down the length of her body.
"You really don't care what color I am do you, Loki?"
"I don't understand this obsession with color. No one is the same color. Like roses come in different colors. You appreciate their individual beauty. Besides, my natural state is blue."
She laughs and kisses him tenderly. "You are amazing, Loki."
"So are you." And he resumes kissing down her body when he sits up with a start.
"Wanda."
Mickie stretches, "What did you say baby?"
"Wanda's in my head." He tries to block her, but it is futile. He can feel her as if she is in the room with them.
"Loki, you're scaring me."
Loki closes his eyes and when he opens them again, he is no longer in the Parisian apartment but in an open field. Wanda stands across from him.
"Loki, I know where you are, but I haven't told anyone yet."
Loki squints his eyes and looks at her.
"Then why are you here?"
"We want to help you."
"Who is 'we'?"
"Steve, Bucky, Natasha, and me."
"No, no, no. Natasha and Bucky, maybe, you maybe, but Rogers, the All-American boy? Not a chance!"
"I have sensed no deception in them Loki. Please search my mind yourself."
Wanda opens her mind fully and Loki probes deep. He also can sense no deception.
"But why? Why would they want to help us?"
"We all think it's wrong to lock her away. She's not a lab experiment to be poked and prodded. To treat her like that makes us no better than Hydra and what they did to me and my brother; what they did to Bucky. The years of captivity, experimentation, mind control. I wish that on no one and if Tony and Fury have their way then that would be her life. Furthermore, they would never let you see each other again."
"Loki, no!" Loki and Wanda are startled. Mickie is there with them.
"Darling?" Loki stares at her. "Looks like another ability has manifested itself." Her eyes were black, and she was surrounded by a blood red cloud.
"What do you propose, Wanda?" she asks.
Wanda brings Loki and Mickie up to speed. She then brings Bucky in.
"We need to hurry, doll. Steve is getting antsy. Tony is going to wonder what is going on."
"Loki, you and Bucky coordinate your location. And one more thing, Loki. Do not teleport or use your magic. Tony is trying to find a way to track it." Wanda adds.
"I know an abandoned Hydra complex in Versailles beneath the Palace." Says Bucky after learning their location.
"You're kidding me." Mickie says.
"Hydra didn't really have respect for historical monuments, doll. Tony's coming. Loki reach out to me in a half an hour, and we'll make a plan."
Loki nods. He has never trusted anyone before, and this was difficult for him, but he has promised her that he would do everything in his power to protect her. The connection is broken, and Loki and Mickie sit in silence.
"I believe them Loki."
Loki sighs deeply. "So do I."
"I know this is hard for you, baby." She rubs his arm and smiles. "I will miss this lovely apartment. It's so romantic."
He gives her a small smile and kisses her gently.
"The Palace of Versailles, seriously?" she snorts. "I knew Hydra was bad, but that's just disrespectful." Sighing she snuggles close to him. "Loki, we're still naked."
Loki side-eyes her. "It's going to take a while for Barnes to get to France, at least seven hours." He begins to nibble on her neck.
"Loki, you are insatiable!"
"You have no idea, my dear."
~~~~~Back at the compound, Steve and Natasha leave Wanda's room. They are met in the hallway by Tony.
"What are you two up to?"
"Just trying one more time with Wanda." Natasha answers.
"Anything?"
"Unfortunately, no."
"How's tracing Loki's magic coming? Tell me there's headway in that." Says Steve.
"It would be easier with Thor's help," says Tony. "But he refuses."
"Can you blame him, Tony? You're asking him to betray his brother."
"Wait," Tony turns back to Steve "since when do you defend long, tall and greasy?"
"I'm not defending him, Tony. I'm defending Thor."
"Good, you had me worried there for a second." Tony continues down the hall while Steve and Natasha exchange relieved glances.
"You lie way to easily, Natasha. Have you ever lied to me?" Asks Steve.
"No."
"Is that a lie?"
"No." Natasha smiles and heads to her room leaving Steve dumbfounded.
Meanwhile, Bucky slips out of the compound. He knows not to take any of the official vehicles but rather hops on the motorcycle he has hidden just beyond the tree line. Expertly dodging the security cameras, he rides off into the night.
~~~~~
Tony joins Clint at the security monitor and watches Bucky ride away. He sighs deeply and turns to the former spy."Follow him."
