**Flicka's POV**

"Is he waking up?" Katniss asked. Wow.. funny how she turns so mean to him then suddenly nice.

"The nurse said he's about to wake up," Steven said from Lilly's bed side.

"Look! His eye is opening!" Hope smiled and stood at the waking up man's bed. "Hi Loki," she smiled at him.

Loki turned to his side and groaned. "What the-"

"Easy bud," I said and he looked at me weakly.

"Flicka?" Loki said then his eyes got big. "Lilly!" he started to panic.

"It's ok!" Steven turned around from Lilly and hid her from his sight. "She's ok," he lied.

"Don't lie to me!" Loki yelled and it seemed that he was trying to ignore the pain from his rib. "Where is she!" he grabbed Steven and he moved to the side to show Lilly's dying body. His madness turned to hurt and he wasn't a god trying to destroy the world, but a child who was on the verge of tears.

"Its ok Loki," Hope said calmly. Loki was freaking out like an animal about to lose the only it loves. "She's going to be fine."

One of the nurses came and Loki calmed down some. The nurse said that one of his ribs are cracked and a muscle is ripped. He asked about Lilly….

"She's-" the nurse started to mutter. "She's trying Loki, she's fighting for her life."

He finally laid down and stared at her. The hurt in his eyes made me want to cry. Poor Loki. "Why isn't she healing?" he seemed to ask himself but we all heard it.

"Gods heal faster than humans Loki," Katniss said.

"Get some rest Loki, you should be fine by morning," Hope said.

He looked like he was about to protest but he just stared at Lilly till his eyes got puffy and heavy. Never truly realized how much they cared for each other.


"We have to go home," Steven said. "Lilly will die here. Asgard barely knows anything about this type of stuff."

"Asgard helps its own people that are injured from battles we can only dream of winning," I said.

"Steven's right though Flicka," Katniss said. "We need to go home and have one of our doctors look at it."

I sighed and saw a movement from both of their beds. "Did you see that?" I walked to the middle. Loki was stirring. "Loki's waking up."

"He's probably wanting to go to his mother's study," Hope said and sat on his bed.

Loki's eyes fluttered open and he started to turn blue. "Lilly?" he stared at me. Lilly and I look somewhat familiar but our eyes are different. When he realized it was me, he sighed and sat up. He held his side so I guess his rib is hurting still. He looked at Lilly and tilted his head. He blue disappearing.

"Look!" Garrett muttered beside me.

"Lilly!" we all said and Loki moved and stood over her carefully.

Lilly groaned when she opened her eyes and moved.

"Don't move," Loki said calmly.

Lilly smiled. "Loki," she choked out but winced in pain and soon cried out. She looked so pale.

"It's ok," Steven smiled at her and sat down beside her taking her hand.

Lilly smiled but it disappeared. "Loki, you have to leave Asgard."

He looked confused. "What do you mean?"

"Leave Asgard. Go to Earth," she said calmly.

Loki shook his head no and I stepped up. "What you saying Stark?"

Lilly moved and winced in pain once more. The sword that was going to kill Loki sliced her right through her, missing vital organs and her spine but she still lost so much blood and the nurse said she wouldn't "You guys have to leave," she panted.

"No," Loki shook his head, his voice was hoarse. "Not without you."

It's like he knows.

"Loki please," she begged.

"No," he choked out.

"Steven get a pen and paper and write this down," she said.

Steven moved and went to our back packs. Three weeks ago we were going to leave Asgard with Loki and this happened. He brought back the supplies with tears in his eyes. Garrett came behind Katniss and I and we all started to cry.

"I, Lilly Stark, have two orders of business. First is to bring Steven back and bring along my lab equipment. Second, I ask beggingly to keep my friend and yours, Loki, to not be put into a glass chamber," she started.

"No," Loki whispered and took her hand. "Lilly please."

She continued anyways. "But to be put into my room for further notice. Fury, push aside the past for once," she looked at Loki with love, I can see it in her eyes. Just like my father looks at Peggy now.

"Lilly," he was begging her now, never thought I would see a god cry.

"Same goes for the rest of my family, dearest Avengers," she choked and raised her hand to meet with Loki's cheek wiping his tears. So cute!

"For it is my dying wish," she smiled and she too was crying. I looked to my right and Thor was walking in and heard and saw the whole thing.

"Heimdall is ready," he said to me and I nodded.

"No, I'm not leaving without you Lilly," Loki said and gripped her hand.

"Loki, please," she begged and looked at Steven. She took the pen and put her signature down along with a thumb print of hers in her own blood, she was bleeding again. "You have to for your own safety. Remember our deal?'

Loki nodded and closed his eyes. "My mortal," he lipped.

"My immortal," Lilly said.

"Come on guys," I said.

"Flicka, I'm putting you in charge of him," Lilly said to me and I nodded. "I want Hope, Katniss and Steven to come back please."

Everyone nodded. I pushed everyone out teary eyed and left Loki and Lilly to themselves but I heard and saw everything. It's just me being nosey.

"What of you?" Loki asked.

"Thor and my friends will watch me. I'm only concerned of you Loki."

"What if you die and I'm not here?"

"It won't come to that, I promise. Help look for Tj while you are with my friends, I will look for him here."

Loki sighed and took her hand in his and they intertwined with each others.

"I love you, don't you regret it Loki."

"Never," he smiled and bent down to kiss her.

I looked away but then back and saw they were departing. Some color came back to her and when she laid back down, no more pain in her eyes. What did Loki do?

Loki walked towards us and he was trying to walk straight, I know now.

"Brother, are you ok?" Thor asked and Loki slightly nodded.

"Come on," I walked to Loki and helped him so did Hope.

**Loki's POV**

I took most of the pain away. That's all she wanted. I knew it. Am I a fool for falling for someone so easily? All the way to the Bifrost, all I could think of was Lilly and how so word everything with excellence.

I said goodbye to Thor and Heimdall and we were off to Midgard.

"Oh look! The welcome committee!" Flicka announced. I opened my eyes and we were somehow on the helicarrier.

"Flicka!" Its the Captain.

"Daddy!" Flicka left my side after a silent ask of approval. The two shields on her back clanged together as she ran to him. "I missed you so much!"

The others ran to their parents but Hope stayed by my side.

I saw the Avengers and my heart quickened.

"Dad-" Flicka started.

"What's he doing here?" I heard Natasha ask Steven and he fumbled for the note.

"That's an excellent question," Fury walked towards me.

"I mean no harm," I said, I brain was cloudy with thoughts of Lilly at my side.

"No ha-" Fury started.

"Director Fury," the little avengers came to my aid. Great?

Fury looked confused and Steven gave him Lilly's note. "Under direct orders of Lilly Stark," he said.

Fury read it. I closed my eyes and I clenched my fist.

"Take him," Fury instructed and Garrett and Katniss lead Hope and I to Lilly's room.

**Steven's POV**

"What's the meaning of this?" my mother asked me.

"We trust him," Flicka announced from my side.

"Trust?" everyone asked.

"Yes trust!" I sneered, I was getting tired. "He has done more than enough to gain our trust! You may not see it because you are all blind and won't see ahead from the battle!"

"How do we know this note it not fake?" Fury asked.

"Take it and go check her signature! That is her own thumb print and her blood! We are all trained to do that!" Flicka said.

"Death wish! That's what it is! I wrote it with my own hands because she couldn't! We are all trained to sign death wishes with our fingerprint and blood!" I yelled.

"Then why didn't she come along?" Clint asked.

"She could barely move!" I said hoarse.

"I'll sign paperwork later but that's her and we trust Loki. Like Lilly said, push aside the past for once." Flicka said.

The Avengers looked at each other and sighed.

"Fine, he still smells like crazy," Bruce said.

Flicka nodded. "Agreed."


"So it's settled?" I asked Flicka. "Yeah, you take the equipment along with Katniss and Hope, I'll stay and keep Loki out of trouble."

"Someone has to tell Pepper and Rhodey," Steven said.

"Leave that to me," Flicka smiled.

"Alright," I smiled back and pushed the cart of equipment to where we were when we arrived. Katniss was saying bye to her father and Hope was telling Loki something. My mother walked over to me.

"Be careful Sharkie," she said and I pulled her into a hug.

"I will mom, I promise," I said and broke away from our hug. "What can a trained assassin do around a bunch load of gold and gods?" I joked.

Katniss and Hope came to my side. I looked around and Flicka was helping Loki stand still. Poor guy, he must of did something to do that.

I waved to everyone. I had to re stalk on my guns but I didn't have to steal this time, same with Katniss. Hope, she's a weapon by herself.

"Heimdall!" I yelled. "Open the Bifrost!"

The sky open and I held on to the cart along with Katniss and Hope.

In a few seconds, we were back in Asgard with Thor greeting us.
