Chapter 4 Mae's pov
09:36, 18 January 2022Loki flashes a grin and with a shimmer of green he holds the cup in his hand. He stands and steps towards Bucky, who puts his hands up to stop him from coming any closer. Loki sidesteps the outstretched hands and kneels down, reaching for my hand on Bucky's arm.
He wraps my hand around the drink before moving my arm to be held in place against Bucks back. Without opening my eyes I take a sip of the cold drink, only to snap my eyes open at the taste. My eyes lock with emerald green ones, and I know he can see how mine are glowing a bright violet. He nods once before a flash of green spills over me, wrapping me in a large warm blanket. He stays kneeling by the chair for the 5 minutes it takes me to down the drink.
I reach a hand out to him, holding the cup up to him as my sleeve falls, showing my blindingly bright glowing limiter to the room. He takes it gently and I move my hand to hold up 2 fingers, silently asking for another. He smirks with a chuckle as the cup refills before handing it back.
I chug that one as well, all without breaking eye contact with him. I can see more of his true form with my powers out as much as they are right now, and it's so tempting to run my fingers over the intricate lines that decorate the blue spots I can see. After I finish I feel everything shift back to normal. I tap twice on Bucks back so he knows to get up now. I stand and stretch, Bucky moving to take his seat again as Loki stands.
"Okay I have 15 minutes before I crash and you all still have a lot of questions. Let's do this rapid fire style." I point at Tony first.
"Yes, I really know who you are. Yes, I can rebuild and repurpose your machines. Yes my hair is naturally this color, it changed from dark brown to this on my 13th birthday. Shut up, that's disgusting." I point to Thor next.
"No, I am not your brother. Yes I will gift you poptarts if you behave. No, I am NOT your brother. No I will not stab you?" I cast a curious look at Loki who just raised his eyebrow at me with a grin. I shake my head and continue with Steve.
"Yes I have seen all of Bucky's memories, it's a favorite pastime of ours hence the reaction earlier. Yes I have a lot of different powers along with strength and stamina like you super soldiers. Yes I'm trained in most fighting styles which leads me to you and you." pointing to Clint and Natasha.
"Yes, I will train with you both. No you can't shoot me right now if you wanted to, don't try as Stark just replaced the windows in here. Seems like someone has a habit of throwing annoying people out of them." I say with a side glance at Loki, who's smirking. I turn to Bucky next.
"No, I'm not sleeping in your room tonight, Stark already has a room ready for me. Shut up or I'll show more memories." He reluctantly nods, closing his mouth, so I turn to Loki last.
"Yes, I like sugar. No your magic is not stronger than mine asshole. Yes, most of your mind is still locked. I could if I wanted to but I don't. So chill dude." I nod and look at Bucky again.
"I have 3 minutes left. Buck, I'm going to my room. If you want more answers, you have to wait. Tell Fury I'm no threat-- I'm their secret weapon." I turn to walk back to the elevator but only make it a few steps before I stop.
"Bucks..." was all I could get out before my legs gave out from under me, only to be caught by 2 cool arms again.
"It took more than you thought to put on such a show, and answer the inept teams questions. Don't worry darling, I've got you now." Loki whispers as he picks me up. I wrap my arms and legs around him, his hands holding the underside of my thighs. He pulls my hood up around my face more and I turn my head into the crook of his neck.
"I'm taking her to her room, Bucky you may come if you want, it's the 13th floor correct?" he asks, not bothering to turn around, hearing as Bucky stands to move with the 2 of us.
"Yes she's the only person on it so far." Stark calls the answer, most still stunned at Loki being nice to...anyone, to the group who are already in the elevator. As the doors shut the warm blanket from earlier wraps around me again with a shimmer of green. Before I pass out with my head still in his neck, I look up at him with half open eyes. My movement caused him to look down at me with a small smile.
"You'll have to show me blue soon, the glimpses and Thor's memory couldn't have done justice Lokes." I mumble before tucking my head back against his neck, both men chuckling at my exhaustion.
I wake up in a really soft bed with a flat pillow under my head, just how I like. I should thank Bucky because I know it was his doing. I keep my eyes closed as I roll away from the whispers that were on the right side of the bed, already knowing who was invading my space. I open my eyes slowly to see my 2 plushies on my bed as well.
"I know you're awake Babydoll, come on Luci, it's time to get up. We need to eat breakfast with the team." Wanda says brushing my hair back so it's out of my face. I whine in response at the thought of moving from the very comfortable bed.
"Get up Princessa. Up, up, up." Pietro pushes while nudging me from behind.
"I better have time to shower or I will harm you both." I murmured to them, while sitting up and rubbing my eyes. I hear them both quickly run from my room before I stand up, to avoid facing my wrath. I do manage to crawl out of bed and make it to my bathroom to shower.
"Friday what time does the team normally have breakfast?"
"9:30 am Miss Lock. It is currently 8 am now." The AI says back
"Those fuckers, they will face some harm after all." I mumble to myself.
"Thank you so much Friday. Can you set an alarm for 8:45 for me? I want to make them breakfast, and please you can call me anything that makes you happy sweetpea.'' I replied, starting the shower.
"May I call you Morningstar?" I smile as I step into the shower.
"Ah, the classical adaptation. Yes you may sweetpea. Is there anything I can do for you at the moment?" I ask while washing my hair, noting that all my new peach shower products have been moved here.
"Not right now but I will let you know if anything comes up Morningstar." I nod in response and continue with my shower.
