A Tale of Mischief and Mutants part 2

Little Sister

—-Sam—-

I jump startled by the sudden beeping noise coming from my collar. I reach up to my neck and it basically falls off into my hands. I sigh letting go of tension I didn't even realize I was harboring. I chuck the thing into an evidence box that was left for me to put it in and notice the absence of the bracers in the box.

"Huh someone must have come by and taken the bracers already."

Loki smiles mischievously.

"Hmmm yes let's go with that."

I don't know what he's planning but he's purposefully letting me in on the fact that he has the bracers with him and I can only assume he's concocted some sort of plan that involves the bracers. It's not gonna be pretty. At the moment I don't much care if he does something just a little reckless as long as he doesn't end up getting any serious jail time, getting kicked off the team, or getting himself hurt. He told me he wouldn't get into too much trouble so I'm not worried I trust him not to lie to me.

"Alright trouble let's say hello and goodbye to everybody before we take off ok?"

He smiles with boyish charm and opens the door for me.

"As you wish."

I smile then roll my eyes and shake my head at how purposefully overly attractive he's being.

"Suave motherfucker."

He smoothly links his arm in mine.

"Only for you my dear."

We walk down the hall to a waiting room. I find myself ducking behind him when I see anyone in a white coat. I'm kinda frustrated with myself but at the same time I can probably give myself a pass for my fear right? I was just kidnapped. When we round the corner everyone looks at me as if their unsure of what to do. Logan has obviously not returned to the group and explained anything yet, he probably went outside for a smoke and will be back any minute.

"Hey guys."

The group's faces light up realizing I've come back to reality. Thor is of course the first to rush me in a hug. Loki snarls at him not knowing if I'll be alright with that and not wanting him to accidentally hurt me.

"Careful!"

We both ignore him.

"Ah, I was worried about you little sister!"

I'm taken by surprise at Thor calling me this though I guess it is close enough to accurate. In less than a month I'll be his sister-in-law. I smile at him as he pulls away keeping his hands on my shoulders. He looks me over in worry.

"You're alright now?"

I tell a tiny white lie, it's gonna take some time for me to be alright again after what happened.

"How couldn't I be? You give the best hugs."

Loki scoffs though I know deep down he has to agree. Nothing's better when you're having a rough day. I turn to Peter he looks like he's been through Hel and back.

"Pete... thank you, if it weren't for you..."

The words get caught in my throat and tears threaten to spill from my eyes. He moves towards me and pulls me into a hug. For once he has no quips for the situation. He lets go and just nods silently. Mary's next to hug me and I see Logan who's just now arrived in the waiting room lurking behind her probably too stubborn to show he wants in on this too.

"Logan you know I'm not leaving here until I get one from you so there's no point in avoiding it."

He pulls an irritated look that I know's just for show before hugging me. Yup he smells of Cohiba. I used to hate the smell of his cigars but now it's kind of a comfort to me, that smell is synonymous with the safety and comfort of a man who may as well be my father.

"You gotta stay out of trouble kid."

I giggle slightly and end the hug.

"You shouldn't have given trouble your blessing to marry me then."

He shakes his head smiling.

"That breed of trouble you can handle. Just, for this old man's sake stay safe from the other kinds darlin'."

I nod then pull out my sling ring. Before I go I see Ned who I don't know very well, other than goofing off with him during games, he's helped me immensely today.

"Thanks Ned."

"Yeah no problem. Just get your wrists better so you can play CSGO next weekend it's no fun when you can't join."

I smile and nod. Before we start the spell I'm suddenly hit with the realization that I left Mjölnir in the street.

"Hey wait I have to get Mjölnir."

Thor waves me away.

"I'll get it, you probably shouldn't be lifting anything anyway sister."

I smile slightly realizing that 'sister' is going to become a regular thing.

"Thanks Thor."

We open the portal and step into the safety of our home in Tønsberg.
