"Ow, everything hurts." You said, barely lifting yourself up on into a sitting position. Even with the warm ups, your muscles still hurt like hell. The actual training wasn't bad but the aftermath? 

Oof.

"You look like your dying." Nat spoke while pointing at your tired figure on the bed.

"No shit Sherlock, my muscles are killing me." You said trying get out of bed, only to be met with more pain. Yey.

"You'll be fine we're just going to do some warm ups," Nat said while helping you sit over the edge of your bed.

"You know, stretching this out might not be a bad idea, I did when my body was sore, might work for you." She said while taking out training clothes from your dresser.

"Yeah if I can, it would be a miracle if I could actually walk without stumbling over." You said trying to stand but instead dropping back down on the bed.

"You'll be fine trust me." Nat said while handing you the clothes. "You get dressed, I'll wait outside." She said while leaving the room.

You take a warm shower hoping that the muscles would relax and make you feel better. For once it actually worked, you felt much more relieved and was able to move more without a sharp pain.

Slipping on the suit, you tie your hair in a braid. You leave your room feeling better about training than when you woke up.

"Ready," you see Loki and Nat at both ends of the couch, trying everything to be as far away from each other as possible.

"You two look like you're the best of friends." You said with a grin making Nat stand and fix her clothes before linking arms with you, almost dragging you out.

"Bye Loki!" You managed to wave goodbye before the door shut.

"I seriously can't stand that guy, how do you even stay under the same room as him without losing your shit." Her obvious hatred for the god evident. With a ding, both of you walk off the elevator to the living room.

"I thought we were training," You stopped Nat's rambles. Instead on being in the floor of the gym, you were on your way to the living room. Seeing the whole team gathered with a new guy.

"Who's that?" You whispered to Nat while pointing in the direction of a tall muscular man with almost shoulder length brown hair, and piercing blue eyes seeming to have a whole history behind them. A metal arm and if looks could kill you would be dead the moment he looked at you.

"Oh, James Buchanan Barnes aka Bucky." She shrugged.

"Who?"

"He's Steve's friend from the war, they're basically the same, both were injected with the super serum. The only difference is Bucky has a metal arm. Don't worry Steve's going to explain to everyone why he's here."

---

"And that's why he's here. Any questions?" Steve said while clasping his hands.

"Yeah I've got one, are we sure he isn't going to go rogue." Clint said, arms crossed. You turn and give him a glare, you know the feeling of being an outsider.

"Clint." A glare from you and a few others was his first warning, he just shrugged, you looked back at Bucky, his features ashamed and mixed emotions going through him.

Conflicted with himself on whether or not he should actually stay here or just go find somewhere else to live.

"He won't Clint, and besides having another super soldier is a big advantage." Cap said defending his friend.

"Ok then." Clint huffed.

"It's settled then, your room is the door to the left of Cap's room." Tony said clasping his hands and gesturing to the hallway.

Cap inclined his head and walk towards the doors, Bucky following after. Everyone's eyes were glued to the two, until both soldiers entered their own rooms. Silence filled the room, you can practically cut the tension with a knife.

"So Nat, do I still have to train?" You said breaking the uncomfortable silence.

"Oh yeah, you're not going to escape, just know that."

"Oh come on-"

---

"Mommy's home~" You said entering the room, seeing Loki at his usual spot on the couch with a book in hand as usual. Stretching your body to relieve the nerves and slight knots of muscles.

"Training took longer than usual, are they working you too hard?" Loki said a slight concern in his tone, you were about an hour and a half late.

"No of course not, Cap just introduced his soldier friend so we had a meeting before training." You see Loki raise one brow, though eyes still on his book he seemed to be intrigued to this new addition.

"Did they not all die since your little war back then?" He said flipping a page.

"Well yeah but Bucky apparently also got the super serum Steve got, except he was controlled by Hydra so he had little to no memories what so ever about the war and Steve and yada yada yada, basically all he knew was he was trained to be this assassin and kill whoever was instructed to him."

"Bucky?" He glanced up from his book.

"Steve's friend." You answered politely.

He clears his throat, and closed his book, he stands and extends a hand to you gesturing for you to sit with him on the couch.

"Right, well, shall we continue with 'the hollow crown'?" You nodded and sat down next to him as he opened the tv to the tv show.

Loki conjured snacks and a blanket over you too, you snuggle up a bit in the blanket. Taking a deep breath and letting out a contented sigh. This was exactly what you needed after a stressful day.

---

Sleepiness almost took over you slowly but surely, your head feeling heavy and eventually settled on Loki's shoulder, he stiffened a bit at the action but soon relaxed, huddling closer to you.

He snakes his arm through your back and onto your waist. He pulled you closer to him almost possessively, his side pressed to yours.

You place your hand on his chest, feeling the slight hot breath he lets out, you feel his heart beat quicken. You let out a small chuckle and smile. The comfortable silence but the tv show playing was the only noise in the room.

Your eye lids grew heavy by the time the end credits rolled in. Finally giving in to your tiredness, you let your eyes close, your body relaxing and slowing becoming limp.

Breathing in his scent you smile once again and sleep like a child after Christmas.
