Chapter 3

Warning: language, sadness

Loki sat Chris-cross in his cell silent and waiting patiently. In another room, the Avengers sat angrily watching him through security cameras. Thor was angry and annoyed he once again grieves for a lost brother that was not lost, but not even his anger could compare to Clint's.

Clint was vibrating with anger he was minutes away from murder. Clint had found this man, this murder inches away from his daughter to the think what Loki had done before his son got him.

"why is he here? what does he want?" Bruce asked as he paced behind the others

"he says he doesn't but means no harm" Natasha spoke for Clint

"how did he find the farm?"

"he says he's known about it since the war on New York. But he didn't tell anyone"

"Lair. He knew ... he knew THIS WHOLE FUCKING TIME" Clint slammed his fist on the table. "he was talking to my daughter"

"we'll figure this out Clint," Steve said placing a hand on his shoulder.

Loki looked up as the doors opened and it came to all the Avengers boiling anger.

"why are you here?" Thor asked

"Hello brother, listen I'm sorry about-"

"why are you here" Clint repeated the question clenching his jaw.

"I'm ... I don't know. I felt like I needed to be here so I came. The feeling is gone now. I don't know why but I get this feeling that I need to be somewhere I go there. I'll stay there until the feeling goes away. For some reason, I felt like I needed to be here. The feelings fading now." Loki tried to explain but knew it probably sounded like gibberish and lies to them they probably thought he had a few screws loose.

"so you showed up at my house because of... A FUCKING FEELING. You messed with my kids because YOU HAD A FUCKING FEELING" Clint screamed

"um no your daughter I'd never hurt her she reminds me of (y/n)"

"who's (y/n)" Sam asked

"she's um... she's a friend. She was young. She died."

"I'm sorry when did she - how did she" Thor step forward and asked. Loki took a deep shaky breath " she... she was 6 years old. She died during the war in New York"

Tony scoffed "another innocent life you took in the chaos. you finally regretting it?"

Loki stood up in anger and banging on the glass of the cell " I TRIED TO SAVE HER. I tried."

"tried? no, you hurt her you killed her along with the millions of other people you killed" Clint said

"Tell me this Agent Barton. What if someone took your daughter and told said that you had to kill a hundred people or they would kill her. what would you do? I'll tell you you'll kill a hundred people and maybe even. Because that's your daughter and you love her and if you had to you'd destroy the entire world for her. And don't say you would because you because you're a parent and that's what a parent would do I KNOW BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT I TRIED TO DO.

He said if I gave him earth he'd give her back. But I didn't give him earth I didn't win ...so he killed her."

"Brother, who is this?"

"I didn't what happen to happen. I didn't want the earth. I didn't want anyone to get hurt. I just wanted her. She made me happy. I wanted to be happy" Loki dropped to his knees and turn his back to face them "why can't I be happy" he cried.

The Avengers were shocked they never thought they'd see the day Loki grieved or even shed a tear.

"Loki-"

"AND THEN to top it all of that day, that day my happiness was across the galaxy being tortured to death you all smiled at me. As if, as if you were heroes... you helped kill a little girl. Tell me... no, that you know are you Still smiling?"

This was sad I'm sorry 

Happiness will come soon
