A Past Dark As Midnight [UNDER REVISION]

Steve froze. "You read my thoughts, didn't you?"

"They were very loud."

Steve dragged his hands down his face, sighing heavily. "Fine. I really shouldn't be telling you this, but... you promise to go easy on her when I tell you?"

"You're asking the god of mischief to make a promise. Does that make any sense to you?"

"God damn it- you know what, fine. Kyle is Eleanor's ex-boyfriend, who abused her in a multitude of ways that really messed with her head. Tony found her after she had fled from Kyle, all bloody and bruised and hiding from some sketchy men in a bar. He brought her back here, trained her a bit, and now she's a part of the team while she's recovering. When you so rudely barged into her room, it triggered her memories and she probably had a panic attack. That room is like her safe space, it's the only place she feels comfortable enough to let it all out."

"..." Loki visibly frowned.

"Do you understand now?"

______________

I do not own Marvel, its characters, or its universe. I own my OC's (Ellie, Kyle, etc. ) and the plot.

CURRENTLY UNDER EDITING! I will be re-uploading the chapters as they're edited. Updates will have no specific schedule, but I'll try to fix the story as soon as possible.
