Lost in Time

Fifty-Five

The loud crash and smash jolted Nat off the bed in a sleepy daze, that she hit the floor, trying to get her bearings. There was an angry yell, before another round of smashing could be heard. She pushed up off the floor, looking around the room, and not seeing Elle anywhere.

Last night they came to her floor, and Elle didn't really speak or do anything, just curled up on the bed and fell asleep almost instantly. Though twice in the night, Nat was startled awake by Elles nightmares, she eventually calmed down and went back to sleep. Right now though if Nat could hazard a guess, Elle was the one making all the noise outside the bedroom.

Nat crept across the floor, and slowly pulled the door open as something flew across her vision, smashing against the wall a few feet from her. The pure destruction she could see when she pulled the door open all the way, had her in shock.

'Here, agent Romanoff..'.. A cup appeared in front of her face, and she could smell the fresh hot coffee... 'Sergeant Grey asked me to wait here with this. She is currently redecorating..'.. Vision said, standing just outside the bedroom door, as more smashing and crashing was going on. Nat couldn't quite see Elle, but the open living room and kitchen area was destroyed.

'Do I even want to know?..'.. Nat took the coffee, and moved back to sit on the end of the bed.

'I believe she is letting her emotions out..'.. Vision moves to stand inside the room, looking back out into the other area.

'This is nothing..'.. Larks voice rings out... 'At least she's taking it out on inanimate objects rather than people. She'll be fine once she's worn herself out..'

'Is anyone else awake, and aware?..'.. Nat asked, hearing more yelling and crashing, sipping her coffee.

'Yeah, everyone else is awake and aware. I've locked down the elevator and the door to this floor, also engaged power dampening, so Loki can't disturb her..'..

'Fair enough. Bet Tonys going to be pissed about the damage..'... Nat sighed, hearing something heavy get thrown across the room out there.

'Not pissed about the damage Romanoff, pissed that I can't come help her right now..'.. Nat heard Tony say.

'You can hear this?..'.. She asked, looking up at the ceiling.

'Hear it, see it. Lark is showing us what's happening, just stay in the bedroom for now until she's done, I don't want you getting caught in the cross fire..'..

'Elle is overwhelmed..'.. Nat could hear Loki... 'Without her memories, for her it has only been a few days since she was in her time. Not only that, she does not remember anything after her test run. I told her of what happened, and she knows she never got to say goodbye to her friends, her family. So much has happened and the one person she would turn to when she feels this way, is not here..'

'She needs Bucky..'.. Nat sighed, drinking her coffee and listening to her let loose in the other room... 'Is there any way that-..'

'My brother has already left..'..

'Good. Maybe Bucky can help her, cause I really don't know what to do..'.. Nat leaned forward slightly, and saw Elle stomp around over the broken glass and remnants on the floor, a baseball bat in hand... 'Should I be worried I'm here?..'
