Loki's Daughter Book 3

End of another holiday

'Raven seriously come on,' Val ducks as a gun goes off. 'Raven get your ass here.'

'Not until you get your pregnant ass out of here.'

'Valarie get the fuck of here,' seeing she won't obey I teleport her into her room in the Villa. I continue to fight as not enough of the terrorists are down. Someone comes up behind me and stabs me. I fall to the floor. Minutes later three officers pick me up and carry me back to my room in the Villa.

She strokes my hair as I lay paralysed on my bed. Yes. She paralysed me again. I gaze up at my bedroom ceiling and start counting the lines in it when I'm interrupted by my bedroom door opening and people walking in.

'Valarie!'

'Why are we in Raven's bedroom?' Captain America asks clearly embarrassed.

'Are we interrupting anything?' Iron man teases.

'Tony don't tease Raven,' Valarie says firmly. She shifts in her seat but she doesn't leave.

'Why not? Wait why isn't she talking or moving?'

'She's paralysed and it's best not tease her because she will get shitty later.'

'Why is she paralysed?

'Come over and have a look.' Valarie invites them. I glare up at her.

A moment later the Avengers crowd over me. I close my eyes as I don't want to look up at them.

'So only the six of you?'

'Yeah,' Wanda replies.

'God why is she so injured?'

'Well here is the punch line. Idiot here thought it would be a good idea to go and fight a bunch of terrorists while we were on holiday. She of course ended up injured and had to cut our holiday short. We have only been here for two days.

'Why paralyse her?'

'To let her heal.'

I continue to gaze up at the ceiling until I start to gain movement back in my body. 'Thanks Valarie,' I say sarcastically as I get up.

'I know you hate getting paralysed, but I didn't want to see you hurt even more.'

I shrug and look away.

'Oh my god. Alec! Twins!'

'They are fine, Alec is asleep with them in your Villa. Calm down before you go into labour.' I say calmly.

Val relaxes as she takes a deep breath. 'Come on let's get you all home.'

'Ok. That's best. I am so stressed out right now, and I just want my home,' she says as she struggles. Vision steps forwards offering but Val puts her hand up and waddles out of the Villa and into her own. Leaving me with six Avengers.

'So,' I draw out turning to face them. 'How's it going?'

'Well we got called out here by your cousin to clean up the mess you made.'

'Better a few dead terrorists then a dead Valarie, kids and Alec.'

They all stare up. Both Steve and Tony have the same understanding look on their faces. I frown a little and I slide forwards to stand up but Steve is quick push down on my shoulders firmly but gently.

'You need to remain seated Raven.'

'Especially with those injuries.'

'I'm fine,' I whine a little.
