I live for you.

Chapter 22- Newbies

"Well sorry about your honey moon I guess," I looked around awkwardly "How do we get out of here?"

"We wait," Said Max flopping down in the dirt. 

Loki shrugged Billy off his shoulder and he fell to the ground. Max tossed him a rope out of no where. I did a double take. I dropped to the ground by Billy. making sure he was ok. His gruesome face was slashed up even more. His mouth hung open slightly and his eyes were shut. He looked almost peaceful. Well as peacful as Billy could look.

Loki handed down the rope to me and I reluctantly tied his hands behind his back. I sat down in the gravel and looked at Loki and Max. Loki sat down next to Max and took his hand in hers. 

"So..." I looked around "Tell me about yourselves"

"I'm a god," said Loki plainly

"I gathered that," I nodded "But you know this is just me... trying to make a good relationship with at least some of the team. The majority of them arent to partial to me."

"They arent to partial to Tony either," Max shrugged light heartedly "You're his.. well what are you?"

"I um... I'm his employee." I replied, glancing around awkwardly. "Yeah, that works."

"Thats not what we heard is it?" Smiled Max, she leaned over and punched me arm.

"What is it you heard?" I pursed my lips and clenched my jaw at her. 

She blanched and looked over at Loki. He wiggled his jaw and turned to me. A tender look on his face. He reached up holding his pale hand lightly on my shoulder. 

"We didnt mean to bring up sour memories. Like you said, we only want a friendly relationship with the new member of the team." His voice was quite and careful. 

"Its fine, Im just curious." I said blankly "What is it they said about me."

They shared glances. Max looked down at her hands and then back up at me. 

"We heard you two were a... thing" She half smiled at me 

"Oh," I nodded "Yeah thats about it. Did they tell you anything else?"

"The whole story" answered Max, she held up a manilla folder out of no where. "Nick Fury documented it for us."

"Oh, may I?" I smiled "I'm so flattered Nicky decided to chronicle events from my life."

She handed it to me chuckling. I flipped it open to see a picture of me clad in my mask shooting a tompson machine gun in the middle of a cemetary. I read through the bullet points of events. From Tony hiring me. To the banquet where I dissapeard. To the cemetary attack and then to my dissapearance again. And so forth.

I smiled and shook my head. Closing it back up and handing it back to Max. She looked at it in her hand and flipped it open. Her eyes scanned down the page. 

"Can I ask why?" she asked looking back up at me. 

Loki gave her a warning look. He saw that I caught the look he shot at her. He looked to the side at the rocky formations on the side of the gravel road we were sitting on. I waved my hand at him, implying that it really was nothing. 

"Why what?" I replied

"Why would you kill your cousin? The only documented living family member." She said seriously

I nodded and looked down at my palms. I would avoid the fact of his death if I could. The fact was that I could have helped him. I could have figured out how to help him. If I hadnt been listening to Parker or thinking of my own selfish reasons. Instead I had wiped the last family member I had off the planet.
