《 XIII 》Apologies

Loki's POV:

A part of me seemed to forget that this sample would bring back my Thor and not the child version. And for some reason, I sort of missed him, which I did not expect.

I certainly wouldn't miss him when he would inevitably throw me in an Asgardian cell, however.

Agent Hill seemed to be beaming at the sight of Thor back to his normal size, and Wanda-

Wanda seemed lost in her head.

I placed a hand on her shoulder gently, seemingly ignoring the fact that my brother was no longer a five year old and was most likely immensely confused.

"Are you alright?" I asked softly, and she whipped her head around so fast I could practically feel the burn in her neck.

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine." I didn't buy it, but I didn't get much of a chance to pry more as Thor cut me off with a loud bellow of my name.

"LOKI?" He asked, and instead of anger, I found something frighteningly similair to relief inscribed in his irises.

And I was proved correct as he pulled me into a suffocating hug. I could barely make out the sound of Wanda's laugh behind me as she mocked my sitaution, and it instantly softened something in me.

"Never do that to me again," Thor ordered, and it drew out a groan in me.

"I do not plan to anytime soon, I assure you."

Maria approached us once again, barely avoiding one of Thor's crushing hugs as she began speaking.

"I called Fury, the rest of Shield's on creating copies, it should be done in a few hours," she smiled, and let herself be pulled into his hug as I rolled my eyes.

"You would think he had a crush on her," I scoffed.

"What about Jane?" She whispered besides me, and I shrugged.

Not too soon after, Hill had left to help assist with the remake, ensuring that everything was just as accurate as the one they had created for Thor.

In the mean time, my brother busied himself with obsessing over the little ones, and effectively distracting them for the time being. It was weird, I must admit, to have free time. I ended up mainly just wandering around the compound.

Eventually, I had ended up bringing myself to Wanda's room, I hadn't properly apologised to the witch yet. Not even for what had just happened; for anything. For turning her friends into children, for being an asshole, for hiding the HYDRA documents from her, from hiding-

Nevermind.

I knocked twice on the door unconsciously, and was caught off guard when the door swung open while I remained lost in thought.

"Loki?"

"Hey, Wanda, can we talk?"

She nodded, opening the door wider as confusion painted over her features, a tinge of concern coating over them.

"Is everything okay?"

"Yeah, I uh," I didn't know why the words weren't coming out, but nothing I came up with seemed appropriate. Instead, I was left gaping like an idiot. I scolded myself, I was a literal God trying to apologise, this shouldn't have been as hard as it was.

"I think I owe you an apology."

"For.. not knocking earlier or-"

"Uh no, well, yeah, but," Wow, nailling this apology thing Loki.

"For everything, I shouldn't have blamed you for spilling the potions, and I shouldn't have hid Pietro's file from you," I confessed.

A beat of silence passed, and then another.
