Bound By Blood (editing)

To Confine Me Is To Kill Me

I awoke in a groggy state, unsure of my surroundings. My room was small, a bed, a bedside desk and a sink and mirror. The overall colour scheme being grey, I attempted to move but found it difficult. So before trying again, I took a deep inhale of breath and moved my legs over the side of the bed. I clicked my aching body and stood up only to be abandoned by my body and forced down again. In sighed, I was still in my previous clothes. My skin begging for freedom, I gathered my thoughts. I raced over to the mirror and stared at my reflection. My hair was unkept, my eyes tried and drained, my body was desperate for sleep but I had to find the others, I splashed my face with water and tied my hair up. Then exited the room and sped off down the halls, I had to lean on the wall to keep my balance, I clutched my stomach. Pain was emanating from there, I howled in agony when the pain became too much. There was no one around, I fell to the floor, my knee banging hard against the floor. I curled into a ball, screaming for the pain to go away, then I felt a hand on my body, I looked up through my blurry vision to see Steve. He was carrying me to a lab, Dr. Banner was there. "Banner! She just collapsed!" Steve yelled, banner clearly shocked ran over, "put her on the bed," he ordered and the Steve obeyed. I was still holding my stomach, feeling the energy. My body convulsing, "Banner!" Steve cried and Banner placed his hand on my head, "shes running a fever," then he tried to remove my arm form my stomach but I fought back, "Anthea please," he asked, I waited, then nodded and removed my arm. He turned to Steve, "get Fury" then Steve disappeared, Banner looked down at my stomach. "Anthea, I need you to breath" he spoke softly, I steadied my breathing and tried to listen to his words. "My brother" I whispered, Banner looked closer and leaned his ear to my mouth, "what?" I repeated, "my brother, get him" I panted, closing my eyes I pain and trying to surprise the feeling. "I don't know who he is?" Banner replied, "Thor" I bit my lip, tasting blood. Banner looked shocked, then went over to find an agent to get Thor, he return moments later, accompanied by Thor, Fury, Steve, Natasha and the man of metal. Thor raced to my side and grasped my hand. "Anthea" his voice, soft and kind. I tired to smile, but couldn't contain the untainted of pain and I let out a cry. Thor twisted to Banner, "what is wrong with her?!" Banner stood back and the metal man came close to me and so did Fury. Steve stood quietly in the back.
"I-I don't know?" Banner admitted in defeat, "Stark, you've worked with energy before" Fury usurped him to come close to me. Then a wave of pain hit me, "ahhh!" I screamed, Thor stroked my head. The man now known as Stark moved closer and looked at me, "Banner, get the energy monitors" Banner did as he said, then he came back with too large machines and a needle. I flinched at the sight of it, but Thor quieted me. "Hush" he stroked my head and cleaned away the beats of sweat. He signalled for Stark to say it was okay, he then place the needle in my arm and stared at the monitors. "Make it go away, make it go away!" I screamed, spectrums of pain hitting me as the machine did its work. Steve flinched at my cries and Thor wiped away my tears away.
"Loki!" I cried at the top of my lungs, squirming and convulsing. I moved so much that Thor and Steve had to retrain me. "Why is she crying for Loki?" Natasha asked the question that was on everyone's mind, Thor's gaze didn't stray from me, "because he is our brother" he spoke calmly, everyone gasped. Expect Fury and Banner, clearly the already knew. "Loki!" I cried again and Thor kept stroking my hair, brushing the fallen parts out of my face. "He's here my sister" I fought against my restraints, "What do you mean that's her brother?!" Natasha argued, but Fury silenced her. "Now is not the time Romanoff" she then left the room in a huff.
The machine started to beep and Banner and Stark looked at the results. "This is bad" was all Stark said, "Stark?" Fury and Steve quizzed, "She's emanating destructive energy from her core" "In English?" Steve spoke but Thro answered, "She's dying" Steve marched over to me, my eyes struggling to stay open. "What do you mean dying!" He was angry, but at what I couldn't understand, the pain was too much for me too tap into my powers. "I mean, she is being drained of her energy and I have a feeling I know who's doing it" Thor snarled through his teeth, them turned to Fury. "I have to take her to see Loki" Steve interjected "Oh no! She is going nowhere near him!" They both ignored Steve's protests and I was unhooked from the machine the machine and carried to Loki's cell by Thor.
