The House of Winter Frost

Chapter 8

Bucky and Loki gripped each other's hands tight as Bruce Banner worked on Ami in the jet. She was strapped down to minimize her thrashing. They both closed their eyes hearing the whimpers and hoarseness from her screams.

Banner shook his head slightly as he looked over scans. "I don't understand why she isn't waking up."

"She's locked in her mind." Loki stated through gritted teeth. "Fucking Crane's mind games."

Bucky rubbed his back. "Shh. It'll be okay, handsome." Bucky looked at Ami. "She will get through this."

Maria and Coulson watched the group slightly nervous on how Fury was going to react. Ami was the one thing he had outside of work.

Two Hours Later

Thor and Steve stood in shock as they watched Bucky and Loki walk in behind the bed carrying the passed out girl. In his worry Loki had dropped the glamor he usually held over Bucky and himself. They have never seen Ami worse off then having the flu since their incidents over a year ago.

"I'm sorry I can't let you guys in the lab with her." Nick told the two men.

Bucky nodded and grabbed onto Loki, who was starting to go blank. "Just get her helped, Nick."

Nick nodded and followed Banner into the lab.

Thor watched in shock and fascination while his brother broke down in the strange man's arms.

Steve tried to comprehend seeing Bucky alive with Loki of all people in his arms.

Bucky rubbed the top of Loki's head. "Hey, it'll be okay. Nick will make sure Ami is okay. Our little Bunny is gonna be okay."

"She's reliving the incidents, James." Loki choked out.

Bucky's jaw ticked, and he pulled Loki in tighter. "She's smart. She will know it's Crane's drug."
