4 months later...


I smiled, this dream was awesome.

A cupcake with frosting smeared on it's face, holding an army knife walked up to me. "You must wake up now, work is to be done." It said in a deep voice.

Suddenly, I felt something crash into my face. "Wake up." Loki said, repeatedly hitting me with a pillow.

"I'm up." I mumbled, my head buried in my pillow.

"Wake up." He hit me again, annoyance and impatience rimmed his voice.

"I'm up." I mumbled.

"Wake up!" Loki yelled, smashing down the pillow as hard as he could.

"I'M UP!" I yelled back, sitting up, my hair frizzing around my eyes.

"Okay, then. Breakfast." Loki shrugged, dropping the pillow and marching into the living room. Damn god of mischief. I slowly proceeded with my new daily routine.

As I sat on one of the stools at the island, Natasha decided to comment on what I looked like in the morning.

"Well, isn't Miss Sunshine pretty today." She smiled devilishly, handing me a glass of orange juice.

"Well, 'Miss Sunshine' has a fly swatter." I mumbled around my OJ. Nat shook her head in confusion, "What's that supposed to mean?" she asked.

"Oh, just that I can swat Black Widows with it." I smiled, equally as devilish. Natasha scowled, then returned to eating her eggs and toast. Thor snickered, pouring his coffee.

"What's on the agenda for today?" I murmured as Fury marched in.

"Nothing, you're relieved from duty for now." Fury pointed out 'matter of fact' like.

"Really?" I coughed, choking on my juice.

"Congrats. My service, though, won't come to an end any time shortly." Loki held up his wrist, showing the tracking bracelet.

"You're free." Fury nodded, "For now!" He hollered in annoyance after me as I got up and started walking towards my room, waving dismissively at Fury's last words.
