I DON'T OWN PICTURES



Ivy rush toward her room, pain of holding injured wings inside coming unbearable. She grit her teeth to stop herself from whimpering or screaming, she wasn't so sure at this point. "You sure you can take care of yourself?" Loki ask worried when she grab doorknob of her door. She nod and slip inside. As soon as she has closed the door she let her wings out. Her eyes darken for a moment from pain before it eased a little. She lean on door for support and glance at her wings. She can see blood already clumping on feathers. "I have to wash them." She command herself quietly and force herself on move. 

Ivy managed to undress herself and open the shower. She use her water magic to wash her wings. Every wound and scratches hurt like hell but she know that those has to clean properly and remind herself that she has endured worse. Eventually she has washed all blood and grease from herself. She use magic to dry herself and grab open-back black shirt and sweatpants. She brush her hair, braid it and grab file she has gathered before walking toward bedroom. She notice one bullet on bathroom floor and pick it up. She examine it while moving to bedroom and gasp in shock. Bullet has enchanted silver in it, that why they cause so much damage. "Where in hell they got that stuff, Basilisk perhaps?" She murmur aloud. 

Knock on door snap Ivy out of her head. She turn to look toward it while door open. Loki slip inside and close the door after him. He frown when he notice bullet in her hand. "I thought you get all out?" "So did I, it must have get stuck in feathers." She answer and tilt head toward her wings. He approach her warily. "I'm fine Loki, they will be fully healed by tomorrow. Same time as this." She answer and wave her left hand with healing wounds in view. "You have multiple wounds and you said yourself that they are very sensitive." He argue and look up her wings quickly. She sigh and adjust them for more comfortable position. "They are but if you already forgot I am a warrior too. Injuries are common." She answer indifferent and shrug. 

"I should have protected you, no other way around." Loki murmur quietly, clearly blaming himself. Ivy rapidly turn toward him with angry expression. "I am not some damsel in distress that you need to save! Beside these bullets weren't normal." She snap and show the bullet to him. "I was your bodyguard!" He argue, ignoring the bullet. She roll her eyes. "Only because it was only way to get you out of this place even for couple hours." She answer harshly. He stare at her for a moment. "I see." He say calmly and start to turn around. She blink in confuse. "Fuck! No! Not like that! Loki, wait!" She try to stop him. He ignore her and walk toward door.

Ivy move to block the door with her wing from side. Loki look at her wing for a moment and finally turn to look at her. "I didn't meant it like that. I wanted you to come with me, I really did. One reason was to get you have some fresh air." She explain. "I don't want your pity." He spat. "It is not pity!" She try but sense that she is loosing him. She sigh and pull her wing out of the way. "I won't force you to believe me." She mumble and look down. "We should head to living room and kitchen. You should here these things too." She say and walk out of room. She didn't care anymore that her wings are in view. They aren't bleeding anymore and because of black color injuries are nearly impossible to notice without knowledge that they are in there. Holding them out will speed up the healing process. 

Ivy pull back her cheerful mask before they walk in others view. She can feel doubt and hatred from Loki and that hurt more than bullets. She really thought that he would believe in her after everything they got through today. She notice sandwiches and fruits on dining table and force wide grin on her face. "Food!" She yip and rush to sit. She drop file next to her on table and next to it the bullet. "What is that?" Bucky ask warily and point at bullet. She turn to look at him while biting the apple. "Bullet those idiots used. It has enchanted silver on it. Dangerous to a fairy, even more to mortals." She answer and throw it to him. He examine it and give it to Steve before turning to look at her. "Did you get hit?" "Couple scratch. That is why my wings are out, help the healing process." She answer minimizing it.

"You got hit?" Bruce ask worried and move to examine Ivy's wings. She growl dangerously to him and pull them further from him. "I'm fine." She assure everyone after he has taken step back. Loki has sit to other side of table and didn't even look at her. She ignore the sting in her soul and devour rest of apple and couple sandwiches. She wash them all down with some water and sigh satisfied. "Now, I'm sorry Tony but everything is on paper. I didn't have access to computer even if I could properly use one." She chuckle to him. "Barbarian." He sigh dramatically. She show her tongue to him and open the file.

"This is mark of organization called Basilisk. They are quite new but big group of people who are specialized to trade unnatural things and weapons. For example enchanted silver." Ivy start and point toward bullet in Clint's hand. "They have contacts in almost every big gun makers and dealers. I found evident that they have fairydust, fairy blood and other parts, fangs of werewolves and other stuff.-" "Wait." Tony cut in. She turn to look at him. "Are you seriously saying that werewolves are real? What next, water nymphs?" He laugh. She glare at him and move her wings. "You have couple Gods and supersoldiers, witch, robot and dark fairy in same room and you doubt existence of werewolves?" She ask and raise her eyebrow. "Tony..." Steve sigh. 

Tony look around and realize her point. "World has come crazy." He answer and shrug. Ivy roll her eyes and see in corner of her eye how Natasha and Clint snicker and corner of Loki's mouth twitch. "For a record blood of water nymph is very good poison, it leave almost no marks and you can't find them without knowing them." Ivy answer with sweet smile. Thor laugh and slap Tony's back. "Here you go Stark." "That is actually one of their products." She continue to explain and show maps where she has marked their locations or warehouses. "I actually burned some of them down but there is some I could pinpoint." She continue her explanation for hours. Steve and Natasha ask some specifying questions occasionally. It has started to darken outside when they finally stop. 

Tony took the papers to get them on computer so JARVIS can start his investigation too. Ivy flop on chair and sigh tiredly. She take last banana from bowl and devour it quickly. She rub her eyes tiredly. "Is it okay if we send this information to Fury?" Natasha suddenly ask form her. She turn to look at him confuse. "I assume you would do it even if I say no." "We probably would but I think that I ask." She shrug. Ivy let out a laugh. "Of course you can. More after them is better. I hope we managed to stop them before supernatural beings get aware of them and decide to declare a war against them or even worse, mortals." She answer and stand up. "I go get some sleep." She say and yawn. Natasha smile and nod. "Oh what was that family business you went? Is everything okay?" She yell after her. Ivy stop and turn to look at her. "My aunt was killed, one of them did it." She simply answer and disappear in hallway.
