Stark

26(Pt.2) Emma Stark's Depression

Trigger Warning

Two days later, there was still no sign of Loki. For two days, I have sat on the balcony, hoping the Bifrost would bring him back. Sometimes, Lilly or Tony would join me, but nothing they said made me feel better.

Lilly always told me she was here for me and my brother said I couldn't do this forever.

After those two days, I walked into the lab one afternoon only to hear Tony talking to Natasha and Thor.

"She can't stay like this. He might not want to come back", Tony said.

"Don't say that, Tony. He wouldn't just leave her. I've seen the way they look at each other", Natasha said.

"Nat, it's been a week. He-" Tony was cut off by Natasha.

"A week, Tony. Give it time".

"We've given it time. Even your party with the girls didn't help because she's still in her depression. We all have to except that he's never coming back. Even Emma has to except it", Tony said.

The three of them looked at me, finally realizing that I was listening. I stood where I was awkwardly until I finally walked away.

I went back to the balcony. I looked at the night sky. When Clint came outside, I refused to go to bed. The Maximoffs came outside. Wanda tried to cheer me up and Pietro tried to get me to go to bed. I finally gave in, but I didn't sleep that night.

Two more days later, I was on the balcony as everyone was decorating the Christmas tree. Tony came outside.

"Em, he's not coming back. I don't want to say it, but it's true. It's been almost two week. Listen, Parker offered to take you to his apartment. He thinks that you could use some advice from his hot Aunt", Tony said. I looked at my brother in disgust.

"Aren't you already dating someone?"I asked.

"Get out of my building. Happy will come pick you up at the end of the day. He's waiting outside right now so get dressed and don't keep him waiting", Tony said.

After I got dressed, I went downstairs and got into the limo. On the way to Peter's apartment, I listened to Possibility from Twilight. I wasn't the one for romance movies and songs, but this song fit my situation. I was trying and failing to get over the fact that Loki left.

When we got to Peter's apartment building, he was already outside. I got out of the limo and walked towards Peter. "Hey. Thanks for having me come", I said.

"It's no trouble", Peter said. "Let's uh, let's get inside".

Me and Peter walked into the building. I followed him to his apartment. When we got to his apartment, Peter opened the door. He let me go inside first. Peter closed the door behind us.

I was greeted by the smell of May Parker's cooking. God, it smelled delicious. Freshly baked Christmas cookies from the oven. Honestly, I was surprised MJ wasn't here. She was always with Peter. I guess she would be with her family since it's the holidays. Me, on the other hand, my parents and adoptive parents aren't alive so I wouldn't be with them. Just my brother and the Avengers or Lilly.

"It smells good in here", I said as I took off my red coat.

"Thank you", May said as she walked out of the kitchen. "It's so good to have you here".

"Thank you for having me here", I said.

"Would you like some cookies?" May asked.

"Sure", I said. Me and Peter sat at the table. May walked back into the kitchen. She came back with a tray of cookies in her hand.
