"Brother, I am not in the mood.", Loki answered from the other side of his door. Thor was currently bugging him about heading to the beach with them.

"Aw, come on, Loki. Our 1st day on vacation, and you are being what Midgardians call a 'bummer' ". Thor huffed. Clint noticed this and joined the God of Thunder.

"Hey, killjoy. Come on out and enjoy the sun!", Clint yelled, bumping Thor's shoulder and running to where the rest of the team was.

"Loki, I tell you. I am not leaving your post until you come outside.", Thor spoke in a commanding tone. He could hear his younger brother groaning on the other side. The raven-haired god opened the door to the room he was staying, giving his brother the dirty eye.

"If only I need not prove myself worthy of the Asgardian throne, I would have banished you to Svartelheim.", he replied, snapping his fingers to strip himself off his leather armor, and change into a plain white shirt with green shorts and slippers. Thor laughed heartily, dismissing his brother's threats, and draped an arm over Loki's shoulder.

"May I ask, where is Kara?", Loki inquired, suddenly remembering the woman he was supposed to watch over.

"Do not worry, Loki. Lady Kara is in the good hands of our mighty Captain Rogers.", Thor said, patting Loki's back. The younger god furrowed his eyebrows immediately.

"What? Why is she with that old man?", Loki's tone was a mix of confusion, irritation and, if Thor was hearing right, a hint of jealousy.

"Well, he is our leader. Plus, ever since we arrived here, you headed straight to a room, claimed it as your own, and shut yourself out.", the blonde god explained. Loki rolled his eyes.

They finally made their way towards the team. Tony was sipping on his mango smoothie with his famous rose-tinted glasses on, Steve was doing laps in the nearby pool, Natasha was sunbathing, Clint and Sam were playing frisbee by the beach, Rhodey was ordering some nachos from the snack shack, and Wanda was teaching Vision how to make a sand castle.

Loki scanned the resort for Kara, and there she was, sitting on the edge of the pool where Steve can get a good eye on her. She seems to have been given a plate of chips by one of the Avengers, but being the stubborn person she is, left it untouched.

"Ah, there is Lady Kara-", Thor trailed off, watching his brother approach the woman. He sighed happily. "My brother is indeed in love."

Kara was staring into nowhere, occasionally getting flashbacks of her tortures in the past.

"Again!", Werner's voice boomed across the hall, frightening the other test subjects.

"I- I ca-can't-" Kara's voice was cut off by a surge of electricity coursing through her body. She felt that her muscles were being torn, her eyes were starting to bulge out of their sockets, and her heart beating abnormally fast.

"I didn't create you for nothing, you f**king b*tch.", Strucker's voice was laced with venom. The sound of skin hitting skin echoed once again throughout the facility. The young woman turned her face in the other direction, trying to caress the spot which had just been slapped.

"You came to me, which means you do as I say. Now, for the last time...", Werner brought his index finger to her chin, making her meet his deadly stare.

"... again."

She would close her eyes, shake her head and stare back at nothing. 'How could I have been so dumb?', she thought to herself, bowing her head and fighting back the tears. Little did she know, a certain god had been watching her battle herself silently.

"What's wrong, Kara?", Loki asked, sitting down next to her by the pool. His actions startled the girl, hastily wiping the few tears that escaped her eyes. She fixed her hair and put on a blank expression on her face.

"Nothing. Leave me alone.", she answered, shifting away from him. This only caused Loki to inch towards her. "You must be forgetting that I was put in charge-"

"... by Nick Fury to watch me so I don't do anything stupid or reckless. I f**king get it.", Kara finished his sentence, to which Loki only smirked at.

"Language!", Steve yelled, pointing his finger at them. Kara rolled her eyes. "Stupid old man."

"Why do you not enjoy the pool, or the beach?", the God of Mischief asked, gaining Kara's attention. "First of all, I can't swim. Second, I obviously am a prisoner here, aren't I? How could I enjoy being with all of you?", she replied, taking a bite out one of the chips.

"Wait, you cannot swim?", Loki asked again. Kara scoffed. "Look, if you're going to make fun of me for not knowing how to swim, just f**k off, will ya?"

"How come I did not know of this?", he inquired, raising an eyebrow. The woman shrugged. "Maybe you never asked."

Steve eventually got tired of swimming, and propped his arms on the poolside to hoist himself up. His bare torso was dripping wet, and Kara couldn't help but let her eyes linger on the man for a bit longer. Steve got a towel and slung it over his shoulder, now pointing at Loki.

"Keep an eye on her, Loki.", he said sternly, his eyes glancing towards Kara and giving her a small nod.

When the captain was out of sight, Loki made a face and rolled his eyes. "Stupid old man.", he muttered, imitating Kara's words.

There was a bit of silence afterwards, up until Loki got into the water and started floating around. His white shirt (now wet) defined his chest and biceps. Add in his now drenched black locks, and a result is a hyper-fixated Kara. It was as if the universe was messing with her, with the sun hitting his face perfectly and soft breeze brushing against his hair ever so slightly.

"Like what you see?", Loki mused, his back turned to her. Kara fought the blush creeping on her cheeks and looked the opposite way, taking another chip into her mouth.

"Shut up. I wasn't even looking at you.", she answered. Loki scoffed and swam towards the other edge of the pool.

"Mhmm. Yeah, right.", Tony yelled from his seat, causing Kara to turn and look at him. Tony merely raised his drink in the air. "Idiot.", Kara muttered. "I heard that, Casper."

Kara didn't bother answering. She simply took the plate of chips on her lap and munched on them.

"Thor, not too far-", Clint yelled at the blonde god. Sam watched the frisbee fly over towards the pool area. "Do not worry friends, I will retrieve the saucer!", Thor replied as he sped to catch the flying disk.

"This is why I don't like playing with that man.", Clint muttered, to which Sam nodded.

Thor ran and ran until he reached the pool area. In the process, he nearly tripped over Natasha, bumped into Rhodey and spilled Tony's smoothie. "You're buying me a new one, Point Break!"

"I got it, I got it!", the God of Thunder screamed repeatedly as he caught the disk in his hands. However, instead of cheers, all he heard were screams of 'help'. He turned around confused, when the color drained from his face.

He had accidentally pushed Kara in the pool, who was now drowning.
