The Ends Of The Earth

chapter nineteen- red

An- I know I said I was going to put out chapters at least once a week but my mental health went to shit so... sorry not sorry lol. My mental health comes first.

____

Loki could feel her pain, the emptiness, the loneliness, the fear, her extreamly weak mental state, he could feel it to the point where he could barely leave his room. He was glad he couldn't feel her physical pain but it turned out that her mental pain seemed to be worse than he thought.

It usually was.

He wanted to help with the search but he didn't have the energy to get out of bed, or eat, or shower. Without the charms he casted on himself he would look and smell disgusting. Loki was very thankful for the cleaning charm.

A few days have gone by and they haven't seen Liza again. Everyone knew she was in bad condition but they still tried to be hopeful about the situation.

Like I said before, Liza was in a very weak condition. Each day she got worse, both physically and mentally, with Ash's abuse. Clint got worse as everyday went by. Just like last time she went missing, he fell back into his depressive ways. The only time he ever perked up was when he saw his kids over FaceTime.

The kids would always ask about liza...they've missed their cousin badly. Clint and Laura both decided to keep it a secret from Cooper and Lila. Ever since Liza had escaped from hydra's clutches officially she decided to reunite with her little cousins in secret. Well, they kept it a secret from everyone else that didn't already know Clint had kids.

And since she was kidnapped again, the kids began to ask Clint and Laura every chance they get where Liza went. Their main excuse was she was busy keeping the world safe by fighting off the bad guys. The kids adore her and beg Clint to tell one of Liza's super hero stories because she was too busy to tell it herself.

It broke his heart to hear his kids ask about her.

Clint barely ate without major convincing from Natasha. She was trying her best to keep strong but without Liza, who was practically her sister, it was hard for her to keep being strong as the week went by. Just like when Liza was taken by hydra Natasha had felt like this but worse.

Tony tried his best not to let anyone see him sad or hurt but in reality he missed the kid. They weren't that close but he missed the way she could keep up with his sass. He made a promise to himself to get her back. She would now forever be under his wing. He had decided to "adopt" her as his protégé

Steve on the other hand has been handling himself pretty okay with the situation. He and Liza weren't close, he obviously wanted to help find her but he wasn't as effected as everyone else was. He was mostly putting the effort in for Bucky's sake.

During this time, especially these last few days. Steve had been doing his absolute best efforts to keep Bucky alive. Bucky refused to leave the conference room out of fear that she would pop up on the screen again. He didn't eat, he didn't sleep, nor did he drink anything through the day.

Steve had to bring him everything. Food, water, different clothes, loki (to cast that very handy charm), and a shit ton of energy drinks to keep him up through the day. Steve didn't like the last part but Bucky got stabby when he was cranky. Steve didn't particularly feel like getting stabbed.

Their now normal day went as it usually did without Liza there. The place was quiet without laughter or crying over fictional characters death's. No daggers being thrown, no furniture being broken, no pranks being played, no parties, it was boring and dull. But all of that stuff didn't matter because she wasn't there.
