[6] SECOND CHANCES

SECOND CHANCES

After the small confrontation with the Avengers, I manage to get a glass of water and some food before heading back to my room.

As the door opens, my heart skips a beat and almost comes out of my chest when I see someone laying on the bed instead of the black cat.

The one and only, Loki Laufeyson.

His eyes are closed, chest rising and falling at an even pace.

Slowly closing the door so as to not make any noise, I start taking small, quiet steps to approach him, my eyes carefully watching his every move.

I wonder if he has noticed me yet.

"Stop staring." He says, his voice making me jump in surprise, almost dropping the water in the process. "It's annoying."

"Sorry."

Instead of answering, he just rolls his eyes.

"Did you really think you could sneak up on me?"

"No. I just didn't want to disturb your rest."

He raises an eyebrow at that.

"You don't look surprised to see me here." He points out, glancing at me from out of the corner of his eyes.

"I had my suspicions." I say, trying to keep a steady voice. "I just wasn't expecting to see you like this when I entered the room."

"Like this?" He questions.

"In your usual form."

"So you had your suspicions, and you still brought me here?" He asks, moving to a sitting position.

"Pretty much."

"Why?"

"I mean, if you know how dangerous I am, why are you helping me?"

"I believe in second chances."

"The Avengers will not trust you if you help me."

"It's a risk I have to take. You really think I didn't think this through?" I ask, crossing my arms.

"How do you know that while we're talking I'm not attacking the Avengers?"

"I don't. I just have to trust you on that."

"I'm pretty sure that if you wanted to try something, you would've done so by now."

He raises both brows in surprise.

"Is this some sort of cage?" He asks.

"No, it's my room. I'm not S.H.I.E.L.D you know? Besides, that would mean that I'm trapped in the cage too."

"Why should I believe you?"

"Because I have no reason to lie. You don't have to believe and I'm not expecting you to."

"Here. I brought you some food."
