One who have been used, tortured, modified again and again and again until she escaped. She has long forgot of feelings like happy, safe and love. She is broken, can she ever be fixed?
Other have been lied, used, betrayed, tortured. He feels like no...
Finally the day of thanksgiving is here. All Avengers is exited of evenings party. Natasha and Pepper have decide that all girls will get ready in Tamara's room. She groan on that but couldn't convince them otherwise. So after morning training with Natasha they both shower in their rooms and afterwards Pepper and Natasha will come in her room. After a shower Tamara watched one episode of Sherlock with Loki. After that Natasha and Pepper come in and chase Loki out. Saying he has to get ready too. He roll his eyes put go to his room. After Natasha closed Tamara's door they hear Thor's booming voice. "BROTHER, WE WILL START TO GET READY TOGETHER, LIKE OLD TIMES." All women snigger when they hear Loki's groan of annoyance.
Pepper and Natasha were shocked when Tamara told them that she can do her hair and make up herself. She just scoff them. "You really think HYDRA trained a assassin/killer without teaching her how to blend in and mask herself." Natasha frown on that comment and Pepper smile sadly, put they let it go. Waving to her to do her best. She make cat eyes with a eyeliner, put a emerald green eye shadow and some lip gloss. She put her dark brown hair behind and keep it in their place with a golden hair comb.

When she come out of her walk-in-closet Natasha and Pepper both blurt out: "You CAN walk in heels?" Tamara laugh at their expression. "Yes I can, I just didn't like them at all." She giggle. Pepper has choose blue dress that Tony love and Natasha has dark red tight dress. They all agreed that they looked fabulous and start to head on ball room. Everyone else is already in there. When elevator's door open Pepper soon go to look for Tony. Natasha go to find Clint saying she has to go to save him from fan-girls. Tamara laugh to that and wave Natasha to go. Tamara look around before seeing Bucky and go first to him say hi.
Loki is in all black suit. He sit in bar. He see when women appears and his breath hitch when he see Tamara, wearing gold and green. His colors and she is so beautiful. Soon Thor is next to him. "She look good in your colors, brother." He joke and slap him on back before asking for bartender for another beer. Loki see how Tamara goes to Bucky and smile to him while saying hello. Rush of jealous come to him. He wasn't happy that Tamara went first to Bucky. He look at them when they talk. After a while Bucky point at bar direction and Tamara look up there and when she see Loki she smile widely. She turn back to Bucky before moving toward bar.
Tamara thanked Bucky before moving toward to Loki. People have already getting drunk. While moving through people Tamara suddenly feel someone grab her arm, pulling her to someone's chest. "Hey little kitty. Want to dance?" Tamara hear someone whisper to her ear and smell of alcohol wash over her. Man has snaked his arm around her waist. Tamara quickly kick her heel in man's foot and twist his arm of her. When his arm is straight Tamara kick his elbow with her knee, braking it. Man yell in pain, hard. "Don't touch me, asshole." She growl and let whimpering man drop on floor. Everyone has moved further away from her after man has screamed in pain. Tamara look back to bar but didn't find Loki. She frown, looking confuse before arm grab her forearm and pull her chest to chest in cold body. She instantly recognize Loki's scent and let him hug her. "You okay?" He murmur in her ear. She is almost as tall as Loki in her heels. Tamara nod and turn in his arms to look at that man while security take him away.
"Kiddo? You okay?" Tony's voice come next of Tamara while other Avengers come to circle around her and Loki. She feel Loki radiating hatred toward the man and let him keep her in his arms while she answer to others. "I'm fine. Security already took him away. He was drunk and probably think that since he is invited he could try to make a move on me." Tamara told them and she feel Loki's arms getting tighter around her, moving her closer to his chest.. Others notice this too but wisely didn't comment on it. Even if Tony and Clint look like they want tear her away from him. "I'm fine, really. That guy got what he deserved. This is a party, lets go enjoy ourselves." Tamara say and smile widely to others, waving them to go away already. After a moment, they give one last glance towards Loki and leave them alone.
Tamara turn to face Loki. His face still holds anger and something else that Tamara couldn't put a finger on. She gently rise her right hand on Loki's left cheek. "Loki, I'm okay, nothing happened. I can take care of myself, remember?" She say softly and brush her finger along Loki's cheekbone smiling. Loki sigh and hug her tighter once more before letting go. "I know you can, Tiger. But it doesn't mean you should have to." He say while taking her toward bar. Tamara laugh on that comment and sit down on bar stool that Loki point to her. Loki give her a glass of water. Tamara nod for thanks and take a big mouthfuls. Soon she has drank around half of it. Loki look at her warily, thinking if she really was as okay as she says. "I couldn't drink at whole afternoon. Natasha and Pepper were strict to that. They say I shouldn't destroy my make up or wrinkle my dress while going to bathroom." She say and laugh on Loki's horrified expression. "It is okay, that appears to be normal in girl world" She wave her hand dismissively. Loki sigh and usher her to drink last of that glass. She happily do that.
"You look handsome by the way." Tamara comment after she finished her glass and pull Loki toward her to straighten his tie up. "I like you in all black suit." She smile to him and tap his chest when she was ready. "Well thank you, my lady. You look beautiful too in this evening. May I comment that you have exemplary good color choices." He answer and kiss her knuckles. Tamara smile on that. "Why you think my color choices is, may I copy, exemplary?" She ask and giggle. "Well.... truth to be told. In Asgard my color is emerald green and gold." He answer and blush, looking anywhere but Tamara's face. Tamara blush on that too. Then she use her finger to make Loki look at her. "Then, if I could say so, I have chose indeed exemplary outfit." She smile and give a Loki little beck on his cheek. Loki smile at her relieved. When dance music start to play Loki quickly got up and offer Tamara his hand. "May I have this dance, my lady?" Loki ask and smile. "You may indeed." Tamara answer and happily took Loki's hand. Tamara knew she is good dancer and could cover for Loki if he doesn't knew very earth dances. But for her happy surprise Loki is a excellent dancer and lead them through many dances never skipping a step. Tamara enjoyed dancing with so experienced partner. Rest of the party goes smoothly and at the end of it everyone else were drunk beside Thor, Loki, Natasha and Tamara. Tamara wonder how much Cap's and Bucky's must have to drink to get THAT drunk.
