A Tale of Mischief and Mutants

Possessive

—-Loki—-

As I wait for Sam to finish washing up in the restroom. I can't help but think it's a bit adorable that Sam was so jealous of Amora. I did not enjoy seeing her upset but I do like knowing she feels that strongly about me being her's. I can't help but conclude that Sam's become a bit possessive over me by her display of jealousy.

I can't say I'm bothered by it. If she feels that way so be it, I can't say I feel any differently about her. As for her fears of inadequacy, I'm troubled she felt she's somehow disappointed me because of her lack of comfort with an activity in which she was repeatedly abused.

I hadn't even expected her to be at the level of comfort she is currently this soon. She's become alright with most touch its at the point where most couples begin undressing where she becomes fearful. I just need to be patient I know she'll work her way past it in her own time. There's no rush we have centuries after all.

My mind wanders again to Midgardian marriage customs but my thoughts are quickly interrupted by Sam coming out of the bathroom now rid of all evidence of her tears. I smile and gesture for her to take my arm. She does and I escort her back to the room with the other Avengers.

When we enter the room it is suddenly very quiet. It's quite obvious they had been talking about us or probably more specifically me. I pretend not to notice it's to be expected. I'm quite surprised that they're going through with my plan myself. They had never entrusted me with anything this important before. I intend to prove myself. Sam notices those that went silent and sends the culprits one of her death glares. She then turns to me as we walk into the room.

"So which Avengers are you taking hostage? Other than me that's non negotiable."

I want to argue, it's a bad idea our relationship might endanger the mission, but one look from Sam tells me that this is as she said non negotiable. I give up on arguing and answer her question.

"I'm not sure yet we'll see what happens during the battle. Then we'll see who's willing to come."

I don't think people will be too keen on becoming my 'prisoner'. I'm not fully trusted by the team and the people who come will be putting their lives in my hands.

"Oh hey, before I forget we need to run Mary back to the house her flight got delayed and she doesn't know how long it'll be for so she canceled it."

"Well just tell Thor to bring her home."

"No way. I don't want her anywhere near New York during this. If our plan goes bad she'd be safer in New Asgard."

She's right I hadn't even thought of the possibility of my plan not working and us loosing. There's that ego our psychiatrist talked about. At least I'm self aware now.

"You're right I'll ask Fury to get someone from S.H.I.E.L.D to bring her back to Tønsberg."

Sam nods as I step away to ask him.
