Take Me Home

Migraines

During her stay Bucky was with her the whole time, bringing food and spending time with her. She had been a bit surprised when he didn't bring Parker a few times but the trainer had finally arrived. The two would spend their time talking or watching Supernatural, an odd sense of deja vu hitting her but she shakes it off.

After the third day of monitoring she's let out of the medical wing. She leans against Bucky still weak and lightheaded. Loki is on her other side with Sam slightly in the front. They talk about Christmas plans which is a bit foreign to her, they don't have that on the island. She sits on the couch in the common room next to Loki as Bucky and Sam start to bicker. She leans against Loki listening to his breathing as she slowly falls asleep to the sound of the two bickering. She dreams, memories starting to come forward.

-She's playing a soft melody on the paint when Loki walks in. He sits on the couch with a smile as she softly sings to him. When she stops he stand up walking towards her. He cups her face gently, "That was beautiful -"

She leans into his hand with a soft smile ignoring the single tear leaving her eye.

He kisses her forehead gently. "I love you -. Always."

- She turns when she hears him call her by her nickname. She turns, smiling, as she continues recording the beautiful scenery outside. She flips the camera into selfie mode as he comes up behind her. He turns her gently so the view is behind them in the background. Only their bare shoulders can be seen in the frame. He smiles at her through the camera before kissing her eek softly.

"Come back to bed."

"In a minute Mischief." He kisses her neck, trailing soft kisses down to her shoulder. As they go lower he turns her, kneeling down. She turns off the camera tilting her head back in pleasure. Lifting her leg over his shoulder causes her to lean back slightly. He looks up at her giving small kitten licks to her pussy. She moans loudly as she gives all control to him and he takes her..again.

She wakes up with a gasp reaching for anybody nearby.

"Hey hey you ok?" Sam asks watching her intensely as Bucky kneels in front of her. Loki is beside her with his hand on her shoulder as she turns to him. She stares at him in confusion and wonder and he stares back. She slowly reaches to cup his cheek, trailing her thumb over his bottom lip as she breathes heavily.

"You were so sad..." she whispers watching as his eyes widen the longer she talks. "So sad... I wanted to cheer you up...so we ran away for a few days...to England...the elevator." She doesn't say more unsure what the others know or even if they know.

"You remember?" He whispers, sighing in relief when she nods, tears in his eyes.

"What's going on?" Bucky asks gruffly stating between the two.

"I'm remembering Lokis." She whispers, missing the conflicting emotions on his face.

"Who remembers Loki?" Tony asks, walking in the room.

"I remember A trip Loki and I took."

"You never went on a trip." Sam says softly worried that the machine did more to than they realize. Despite his and Tony's insistence Loki smiles at her and that's when she knew. What she had with Loki was a secret, or at least a one time thing. She'd ask him more questions later.

✨

Over the next few days Loki and Nia become inseparable. She would tell him what she remembered and he'd fill in the blanks but never giving more than what she knew. He'd tell her where and how but not why or what happened afterwards. It was frustrating but she understood it in a sense. Sam and Bucky stayed close by for the most part, Sam with curiosity but it was hard to tell what Bucky was feeling. Both listened closely which made her sensor what little memories she remembered that were...intimate.

She kept getting headaches more frequently till the point that they became migraines. It was starting to become frequent that someone would carry her out of the room when the pain became too much. Nothing seemed to be helping at all. This was the first time in the past few days where she didn't have a migraine so she decided to eat in the kitchen with Loki and Vincent. Sam, Damien, Bucky and Steve walk in as they're finishing up, each giving her a kiss on the forehead.

"How's your head?" Sam asks reaching for the water.

"Haven't had any complaints." She mutters around her cup. She looks up when nothing but silence reaches her ears. Her eyes widen when she realizes what she said.

"I uh-I mean my head doesn't hurt so it's good." This caused Sam to start laughing hysterically with Damien and Steve chuckling softly.

"Did she just say no complaints?" Sam finally wheezed out laughing. "Girl I didn't need to know that!"

Her cheeks heated up as laughter filled the room. Voices in the distance get closer to the kitchen. Tony is heading towards the kitchen with someone new talking about how great it'll be once the other person is done with school and can join full time.

"With the mission coming up and what I need to talk to you about it I think it's best that you just stay here and settle in." Tony says.

"What do we need to talk about Mr.Stark?" The person says as they walk fully into the kitchen. At this point Nia is ready to head out the kitchen, standing next to Loki in the middle of the room.

"Well kid-"

"Nia?" The person says stopping in his tracks when he sees her. "Oh my god Nia!" He screams, launching himself at her and pulling her into a hug. The second his skin touched hers she screams pushing him away. Your head is screaming, if he comes near it's over. I have nothing left, he can't touch me.

She lands a hard punch to his face, sending him to the floor. She stand there hyperventilating as he looks up at her with tormented eyes. She shakes her head as flashes of another man reaching for her overlaps the image of the person in front of her. A noise comes from behind her making her scream. She turns to find Vincent three steps behind her. She flies into his arms sobbing as he tries to calm her.

"Mr. Stark?" The boy says in bewilderment, a haunted look in his eyes.
