Beneath Me 》 Loki Laufeyson《 [UNDER HEAVY EDITING]

20. 》Come Around《

After the two Asgardian brothers' quarrel, they remained in their own quarters for the rest of the day. The other members of the team, including Kara, kept themselves busy by either chatting with each other, cooking food, playing some games in Tony's game lounge, or watching some movies.

Kara had to admit that she was beginning to enjoy their company. She felt them slowly reach out to her as the hours ticked by. Maybe the Avengers weren't so bad, after all.

It was around 7PM when Thor finally left his room. He still had the same stoic expression on his face, but when his eyes landed on Kara, he immediately softened. The young lady, along with Wanda and Natasha were currently sprawled all over the living room, playing some cards. Kara on the floor, Natasha dangling off the couch, and Wanda sitting with her legs crossed beside the agent. When Wanda saw the God of Thunder make his way to where they were, she nudged Natasha's arm, who then tapped Kara's shoulder.

"Lady Kara, may I speak to you for a moment?", Thor asked. The ladies looked at each other, and Kara nodded, setting down her cards. "Wait for me.", she muttered to them.

Thor and Kara walked towards one of the corridors. They both stopped once they got some privacy.

"I would like to sincerely apologize for what happened earlier. I was being reckless and-"

"Ssh. It-it's all right, Thor. I'm okay now.", Kara cut him off. Thor shook his head.

"It irritates me to admit that Loki was right. I think only of myself at times. I truly am sorry for that incident, Lady Kara. I want you to know that I do not desire any harm to come to your way.", he added. Kara gave him a small smile and nodded.

"Apology accepted, God of Thunder.", Kara answered, a chuckle escaping both of their lips. Thor's smile faded when his eyes glanced at Loki's room. Kara followed his gaze, and frowned slightly.

"I do not like it when we fight. If our mother were here, she would disapprove of our behavior. Well, above all, mine.", the blonde god spoke. Kara hesitated to touch him, but settled on patting his back for comfort.

"Loki will come around. He is your brother, after all.", Kara assured him. Thor smiled slightly. "I do hope you're right."

Soon, it was time to eat dinner. "Okay, I'm cooking everyone. So be ready to have your mind blown.", Tony spoke up, earning eye rolls and sighs from the team.

"Mhmm, yeah. Whatever you say, Tony.", Clint remarked, causing Rhodey to snicker. Tony turned around and cocked an eyebrow.

"What is that supposed to mean, Barton?", Tony challenged as he wrapped an apron around his torso. Clint shrugged and replied, "I'm just saying, maybe I know better recipes than you do."

'Ooh's were heard in the dining room. The two men engaged in a staring competition, one doing a power pose while the other had his arms support his head. "Ha. Well, in that case, Agent Barton...", the billionaire threw an apron his way, to which Clint caught nonchalantly.

"... Get over here. We'll see who's better." Clint scoffed and tied the apron around his waist swiftly, standing up and making his way to the kitchen to join Tony.

"How typical.", Steve commented, rolling his eyes. Everyone gathered around the table, waiting for whatever the pair could concoct. Well, all except Loki again. Thor got up from his seat and walked towards his brother's room.

"Loki...", Thor called out. There was no answer. "Brother, come out. It is the time for supper-"

"Leave me be, Thor.", Loki replied, cutting him off. Thor sighed and turned around, only to be met face-to-face with Kara.
