Found Again

Twenty-Four

They don't look at you. They continue looking down, clearly traumatized.

"I'm going to go call Uncle Nick. We need to be sure. Especially after Alina."

You exit the jet while Loki helps the agents inside.

You call Fury and brief him on the situation.

Soon after you hang up, another jet lands. Uncle Nick and Maria come out of it.

"Uncle Nick! Maria!" You yell.

You rush over and give them long hugs.

"How are you? When Fury told me about you still being alive, I didn't believe it. I'm also sorry I haven't visited since your uncle has kept me very busy." Maria jokes.

"I've been doing well, understandable, and don't be."

The three of you go inside, where Loki's tending to the agent's wounds by using his magic to heal them.

"Loki is actually a good guy..." Maria whispers, more to herself than anyone.

You nod as you beam at Loki. When he realizes he's being watched, he walks over to you three.

"Director Fury, Agent Maria Hill." Loki acknowledges respectfully.

"Loki." Fury greets back.

"Are these actually S.H.I.E.L.D. agents?" You cut to the point.

Fury and Maria approach the three, who are sitting wordlessly on the couch.

Fury shakes his head in disbelief, "All three of these agents were MIA."

"Agent Sarah Ross, Agent Amy Rodriguez, and Agent Thomas Adams..." Maria lists in shock.

"I tended to them as best as I could. I'm sorry if they need more help." Loki apologizes.

You lay your hand on his upper arm, "You did amazing." You praise.

Loki gives an unsure smile.

Maria walks up to him, "Thank you. You did well."

Loki nods respectfully, a bit more certain that he did the best he could.

You and Loki see Fury and Maria off.

"I think I need to rest." Loki comments.

"Okay." You smile, "I know I already said it, but you did amazing, Loki. You saved these people."

He grins, "Thank you, darling."

        It's been about an hour since Loki arrived, so you decide to check on him in case he needed anything. You walk into his room.

        "Loki?" You whisper.

        "Y/N?" Loki asks quietly.

        You chuckle, "Yeah, it's me."

        You close the door and turn on the lamp.

        Loki beams, "Well, there's that pretty face."

        "Such a flirt." You smirk.

        Loki chuckles but winces, so you run to his side.

        "Are you okay?"

        "Of course, darling. I always am." Loki assures.

        You raise your eyebrow, "Don't lie to me."

        "Well, I still have a wound on my torso, and it honestly kind of hurts," Loki confesses.

        "Ah."

        You sit him up then gently start taking off his tight leather shirt.

        Why the hell didn't he change out of this Asgardian suit? He's just so... I-I don't know... hot?

        "What are you doing?" Loki inquires weakly.

        "I'm relieving the pressure off of your wound." You clarify.

        You completely remove his shirt. You see that he has an open wound positioned directly to the right of his belly button and straight down from the middle of his collarbone.

        You gently lay your hand on his muscular abs, making a slight tint of blush coat your cheeks.

        Dear god...

        "Um, sorry this happened." You apologize, completely flustered.

        You send energy surging through your arm. Your hand encases in luminescent gold magic. Your powers begin healing his wound, which makes him wince.

        "Oh, I'm really sorry."

        "No, no. It's okay, darling." He reassures.

        You resume healing his wound until you've healed him as best as you can.

        His lips curl upward, "Thank you so much, darling."

        "It's nothing. Now, it will still hurt a lot since it was so big, that makes it impossible to heal you completely." You enlighten.

        He nods, and you tuck his hair behind his ear, "Sleep well." You whisper.

        You kiss him on the cheek, but as you go to leave, Loki grabs your hand. When you turn around, he has his mouth open as if he's going to say something, but he closes his mouth before kissing the back of your hand.

        You quickly leave before he can see your flushed face. You go into your room and go to sleep.
