Chapter 6: It has been one week since I was locked up in the hospital, and to my luck, nobody bothered to visit me. Coming to think of it, they probably didn't think I existed anymore, but the first person that came to see me in my time of misery was Rogers, the polite person that he was. One day, I was lying down in my hospital bed, staring at the ceiling, and in the corner of my eye, I saw a figure. I quickly stood up, and glanced at it. There he was, walking in casually, as if there was no gap between our friendship. He was dressed in regular clothes (come on, there would've been at least one nurse who thought that he was a patient in his costume), and boy did he look different. "Hey Liv." He said, strolling to a chair next to my bedside. "What are you doing here? I thought no one on your, I mean our, team liked me." I asked, correcting myself, then later regretted that. "Well, they still despise you, but they'll get over it. I'm still allies with you, though." He stated. I covered my face with my hands in disgust. "I'm a monster though. I'm insane! All those actions that were done; I hate myself for it. It will always stay in everybody's memory, and no matter what, they will always hold grudges for me." I cried. "You're not a monster; you just loved Loki. Since you loved him so much, you wanted to do everything to please him. That's why you tried to destroy the world, and you put your life in danger to be with him. That's true love, Liv. I would know because I sacrificed my life to be with my girl 60 years ago. You and I didn't get our love, but we tried our best to, and in the end, we did get hurt, but we still gave it our all. Great heroes, like you and me, make great sacrifices. And unfortunately, I am the only person on the Avengers who believes that your attraction to Loki was lust, and not hypnotization." He explained, as if he was preparing a speech to his troops. "So that's what I did?" I finally questioned. He nodded in denial, and then portrayed the my-friend-didn't-attempt-to-destroy-the-world-a-week-ago look. "Then what happened?" "Well, Thor, who you know," I did remember him from prior memories. "And Loki disappeared with the Tesseract, and that moment they did, you blacked out." "But why?" "S.H.I.E.L.D believes you passed out because since you were connected with him in a way, he took all of your memories of him and that day to Asgard, which drained you out." He answered. "So they do care?" I whispered under my breath. "What?" "Nothing." I quickly said. "Anyways, the thing nobody can figure out is that you still have that ring he gave you." He pointed to my hand. I looked at my hand, and gasped. It and my body started to tremble, because his ring was on it, in perfect position, and glimmering in the hospital light. I started to weep, because right as I saw it, every memory of him and me reappeared: the kidnapping, the engagement, destroying the world, Thor leaving with him, everything. Everything came back to me all at once. Rogers hugged me, and I couldn't help but to hug him back. "You remember now." He whispered. "I do! And I miss him so much!" I cried. "I know you do." He cradled me in his arms, like a baby. "Maybe there's a way to open a portal to Asgard, and not unleash an army." He finally released me, and looked into my eyes, and they were red from crying. I sniffled, and finally asked. "But Thor's in Asgard. How can you so that and get a hold of him?" I asked. "He makes monthly visits to Earth, usually in the beginning of the month. Your release is April 2nd, and that's when he is coming down, so when he leaves, he can take you back." I started to grin, but then it quickly disappeared, when I thought of a negative. "What if he doesn't like me anymore? You know, after everything that happened." "He knows you too well because you tried to destroy the world. You are important to him, and now, he's important to you. Trust me. He will fly you to Loki's location, and you will see him again, I promise." His shadowy blue eyes, the complete opposite of Loki's, looked at mine. I was convinced, so I waited to get the hell out of that prison you call a hospital to go to Asgard.
Rogers sure has a kind heart to visit his former teammate and confront her in difficult times, doesn't he? And the special ring Loki gave her contained all of her memories, and now she remembers her love, who is now in another realm. Now that she has found a way to see him again, what will he think of her when she sees him? Will he be angry, or relieved? Read on in Chapter 7 to find out! Note: Chapter 7 is divided into two parts, like Chapter 4! :]
