Your POV
Day Twenty Two
March 25, 2021

You smile as you read the text you just got. Apparently Bucky has been struggling with everything since Loki kidnapped you. He's been working to find a way to bring you home, but maybe working too much. But he's been convinced to have some time to himself every day, thank heavens. He texts or calls you then. You can't answer, and he knows that. But you can listen to the voicemail and read the texts.

"Nothing new since when I said we don't know Lokis whole story. Kind of hard to figure this stuff out when no one was looking for it before & Loki is who knows where with you. But I think I might have the right idea. Nothing adds up Loki is hiding something. Anyway watching Peter right now is the funniest thing. He just found out the girl he likes has known he's Spiderman for a long time. Between that and her asking him out he's constantly panicking a little. I feel bad but at the same time it's fun to watch. Scott mastered the art of catching cheese balls in his mouth. Whenever he walks into the kitchen at least 1 of us throws a cheese ball at him you'd love it. I love you [Y/N]. I swear we are going to get you out of there & Loki won't ever touch you again. I'll see you soon. Hang in there."

Bucky's texts are always so sweet. He always lets you know how the search for you is going and how the others are doing. Then he promises to bring you home safely. You wish you could respond. If you could talk to someone, anyone other than Loki, everything would be much more bearable. And it would help Bucky too if you could talk to him. While you're glad that he's working to find you, it's sad to hear how much this has hurt him. 

And it's not just him. All of the Avengers have been having a hard time since you were kidnapped. Obviously, you're the one suffering the most because of this, but you can't help but worry about your family. You feel awful, knowing that they're forgetting to live their lives because of you. You've been missing for twenty-two days. They've been losing sleep, forgetting to eat, and overworking themselves for twenty-two days. You can't help but feel bad.

You close out of the message app and stand up off the window sill. I need something different. You grab a jacket and head outside to the pine tree at the edge of the backyard. You climb onto one of its lower branches and sit on it, leaning against the trunk. You climb up here every few days when you need a change of scenery. Plus, you can see outside the dome you're trapped in. Any information you can get on your surroundings will help.

The next door neighbors are a young family. Mom, dad, two kids, twins maybe, ten at the oldest. The house on the other side has children playing in the backyard, but they're different kids everyday. Their parents will tell them it's time to go home after a while. Your best guess is they're visiting grandparents or something. In every direction there are snow-tipped mountains in the distance. Houses spot the area, only broken up by roads and a school. There are street signs, but they aren't close enough for you to read what street and city you're at. A tree covers up the sign on the school, so you can't look that up either. 

No one can see you. There was a time when some kids were sitting on the roof next door, and you tried to talk to them. And either they're very good at pretending they didn't hear a stranger, or they couldn't hear or see you. You try not to pay attention to the twins next door as they start playing soccer together. You have the urge to shout at them, to hope against all logic that they can hear you, that they'll be able to help you. Better to ignore them than to lose your voice screaming at a force field.

You jerk your head towards the backdoor when you hear it slide open. Loki steps outside and looks around until his eyes finally land on you. You tense when he starts walking towards you. He smiles at you as he gets closer. "I see you've found a nice spot for yourself. Mind if I join you?"
