My Lonely Lover ~Loki X Oc

Chapter 5

Melody sighed and sat down beside Tony on the couch. He smiled softly as he wrapped an arm around his sister, "Finally have a day off were you can help your bro in the lab?"

Melody sighed, "No, Tony. Besides, you don't need my help all I do is stress and worry about you getting hurt." She looked at her hands and got lost in thought. She stared down, drowning out what ever her brother was ranting about now. She only added in the occasional, "mmhm," "Yeah?", and "kay." She hadn't realised it but she had started crying for an unknown reason.

"Mellie? Mel?" Tony tapped her shoulder, "Melody please, talk to me."

"What?" The younger of the two looked up finally.

"Why are you crying?" he asked concerned.

"I'm not?" she touched her cheek and stared when she felt how wet her cheek was. "I am crying what the fuck?"

"Mellie, are you alright?"

"Yeah, I..I'm fine..excuse me." She slid off the table and started to leave before Tony grabbed her arm.

"Melody,"

"I don't know why I'm crying Tony Okay?! I'm so fucking sick of this shit!" Melody glared at him before taking a deep breath and going to her room.

Tony thought for a moment before smirking, "Yeah, tomorrow is going to be sibling appreciation day."

Melody sighed as she laid across Loki's lap exhausted.

"Are you alright mortal?" He questioned looking down on her small frame.

"No but it's whatever," she sighed.

"It's not whatever," he thought for a moment, "Perhaps we can watch that doctor that you so admire."

"You wanna watch Doctor Who?"

"If it makes you feel better."

She raised a brow at him, "What?" She sat up and looked at him.

"I said if it makes you..."

"I heard you but I thought you hated everyone of us."

"You are more...bearable then the other teammates. You understand me...and what happened in New York...wasn't really me."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean...I was being controlled to do it. I made a mistake and let my mind be consumed by power and hate. But I really..."

"You don't have to tell.."

Loki raised his hand up at her, "Its fine. I want to. I feel like I can trust you.." he waited for a response but Mel just nodded, "you see...I like poetry, books, music. I love the women who raised me. But I'm still a monster."

"You're not.."

"In a moment Lady Melody, please. I grew jealous of Thor and he being Odins favoured child. I let it consume me and I didn't know who I was anymore. I got lost. But Frigga, the All-Mother, never saw me any differently. She warned me, guided me, and I ignored her. No one else saw good in me like she did.

"The. I came to Midgard to take over, not by my choice. Well sort of. I meet you..granted you were there to interrogate me but you spoke to me like I was you're equal and not a monster. When we fought in New York...you held back, I know you did. I...just. You understand me." He sighed.

"Loki..I." She looked down, "Your mother, she sounds lovely and she is right you know. You're not a monster. I..have a terrible past and I know monsters...but you..you've made some mistakes...got forced into some serious shit."

Loki lets out a quiet laugh.

"You are better than that though. You recognize and try to make things right. You are no more a monster than Steven. You're...just lost."

They started at each other for a moment before Loki kissed her cheek, "Thank you, midgardian."
