Ice Cold Love

Before your vision returns, you hear arguing. It sounded like... Steve. And Tony. 

"Tony, he was going to hurt her! What was I supposed to do?!"

"Come and get me! Or simply get (Y/n) out of there! Either of those are brilliant ideas!"

"Oh yeah, because you're the only one who can handle it, right? Well I wasn't the one who got thrown out of a window by the guy!"

"Oh, now that's just plain rude! I only missed the guy by this much!" Then you heard another voice.

"Steve, Tony, as logical as your argument sounds, I don't think it's what (Y/n) wants to hear when she wakes up." You recognize it as Bruce's voice. You open your eyes to see Steve and Tony smiling at you. You frown, rubbing your eyes. You winced, trying to sit up, but Bruce placed a hand on your forehead, forcing you back down onto the bed.

"You need to rest, (Y/n), you-"

"Where's Loki?" you interrupted, shocking Tony.

"He's gone, (Y/n). He can't hurt you," he said.

"Hurt me?" you ask. "He wasn't trying to hurt me. Who told you that shit?" Tony and Bruce looked over at Steve. Your eyes followed him, and you glared. "You. You're the one who made Loki think like that. Like it was his fault I got hurt." Steve opened his mouth to say something, but closed it. He looked down at his feet in shame.

"I'm sorry," he said. 

"It's fine. You thought you were doing the right thing. But what do you mean, he's gone?" You sit up, despite the pain shooting through your ribs.

"Well," Tony said, rubbing his neck, "we may have told Thor about what happened, and he may have freaked out a Loki. There was a lot of yelling, but then we couldn't find Loki. He disappeared."

"Well, yeah! He can fucking teleport!" You groaned, rubbing your face. Where could he be? "Everyone just leave, alright?! I... I need to think." You looked at Bruce questioningly, and he nodded. 

"Come on, clear out," he said, herding Steve and Tony out of the room. He followed suit, closing the door behind him. You sighed with relief.

Where the fuck is Loki? He could be anywhere in the world right now! He could even be on another planet. You don't think he is though. He wouldn't leave you, right? 

An idea popped into your head. You may not know where Loki would've gone... but Thor might. 

"JARVIS, where is Thor right now?"

"Thor is in his room right now. Should I tell him you need him?"

"No, I can find my own way," you say. "Thanks, JARVIS."

"Anytime, (Y/n)." And with that, you made your way to Thor's room. You knocked on his door, and it took a few seconds before he opened the door. Your eyes widened to see his shirtless chest, and you looked down, blushing.

"Oh, my apologies, Lady (Y/n). I wasn't expecting any guests." Thor opened the door to let you in, and pulled on a loose t-shirt. "What is it you would like to talk about?"

"Loki." Thor paused, his expression unreadable. "I need to know where he would've gone. You're his brother, shouldn't you have some idea?" You sat on his bed as he thought. He was slightly pacing across the floor of his room.

"I'm not sure... he used to go to Mother when he was upset, but obviously he couldn't do that right now. Um..." Thor tapped his chin.

"What did he do to calm himself down?" You ask, trying to give Thor ideas. Suddenly, Thor's eyes widened.
