3:00 in the morning and the Avengers Compound was quiet. Loki was sipping a cup of Chamomile tea hoping to quiet the noises in his head. The sounds of his own screams echoed through his head, memories of tortures from years ago. He hadn't told anyone what he had endured under the Children of Thanos save for Bruce who had prescribed a sleep aid. However, nothing chased the dreams away.
He knew what the others thought of him, with his many bed partners, but it was easy to hide one's pain in meaningless sex. Unlike his brother, he wasn't seeking a relationship. When it came down to it, he was terrified of having his heart broken.
"Can't sleep, huh?"
Loki startled at the voice behind him.
"Wow, I didn't think anyone could get the drop on you, Loki.0 Natasha walked around the counter and leaned over facing him. She was wearing a thin strapped tank top and sweatpants and Loki caught himself staring at her breasts. Blinking forcibly, he raised his eyes back up to meet hers.
"I have had a lot on my mind lately. My focus is thrown off."
"Yes, I heard about the blood bond with Dracula's daughter."
"I believe that is fading, thank the Norns, but it is a little overwhelming to find out that I was going to be weaponized again; a means to an end for a tyrant to rule."
Natasha, walked around and sat on the stool next to Loki. "I'm sorry, I never thought of it that way."
"No one tends to see me as a being with feelings."
"I do."
Loki turned to look at her. Natasha leaned in and softly brushed her lips against his. Loki looked deep in her eyes and pulled her to him and returned the kiss.
"Natasha. The others..."
"What we do is none of their business."
"I have never been in a relationship before. I don't want to hurt you."
"I'm a big girl, Loki. Besides, I think I could kick your ass if the occasion called for it."
Loki smirked. "Well, we are all entitled to our fantasies."
"And I have had a few about you." Natasha winked then her face turned serious. "Loki, I want to know you better. I want to see where this can go. While every instinct inside of me is screaming to go slow, I honestly want you to join me in my room for the remainder of this night. I need you to hold me, Loki."
Loki leaned in and kissed her again. "Yes, I will come."
The two rose and left the kitchen.

Katherine emerged from a darkened hallway. Grinding her teeth in anger, she pounded her fist on the now empty kitchen counter. The blood bond may have faded for Loki, but it ran hot through her veins, and she was a woman who fought for what she wanted. She just needed to figure out a way to trap a spider.

Victoria paced in her cell. She had underestimated the mortals and that magnificent god, but as always, she had contingency plans. They planned to bring the entire Council. She could wipe them out in one stroke. Once she had control of the god, she would finally be strong enough to take on Dracula himself.
