Sorry for the delay with the update, it's been a busy month! Hope you enjoy it! :)

The next morning when Charlotte awoke she could hear her brother and the others debating in the room across the hall. It had been a week since any of the Avengers had seen Loki and they were beginning to grow frustrated again. Charlotte sighed and rolled over, pulling the blankets over herself. After Loki's stunt last week she was scared to move or do anything. Charlotte didn't want to put anyone in danger and she was terrified that Loki may try to use her against the Avengers.

"How are you feeling?" Tony asked as he stepped into Charlotte's room.

"Fine. Why?" Charlotte replied as she sat up.

"Oh Natasha said you hadn't been feeling good so I wanted to make sure everything was okay."

"Oh yeah, um I'm fine now." Charlotte smiled.

"Well good and as for Steve-"

"Don't even Tony." Charlotte snapped.

"I don't want you involved with that."

"It's not really any of your business what I get involved with and as I told you before, there is nothing going on."

"You're my sister." Tony growled. "I do not want-"

"Tony! Stop! I have enough shit to deal with right now without you hounding me about hanging out with someone! I'm on some stupid aircraft carrier with hundreds of people I don't know, I almost died and now I have some reactor in my chest. So please, just let me talk to whoever I want."

Before Tony could reply Charlotte stormed out of the room and headed down the hallway. Standing outside the room was Steve, Charlotte didn't even glance towards him and he could tell she was angry about something. Tony followed after Charlotte until Steve stepped in front of him.

"Clearly she doesn't want to talk to you." Steve said.

"Don't even start Captain." Tony replied angrily.

"You may be her brother but if she doesn't want to speak with you, you don't speak to her."

"I told you to stay out of it Captain."

Charlotte could hear the two arguing from the end of the hallway, her frustration was beginning to grow and all she wanted to do was leave. Once the argument became louder she stopped in her tracks and made her way back to them. Tears were starting to brew in her eyes and no matter how much she wanted to stop them, she couldn't.

"Can you both just stop?" Charlotte screamed. "I am so sick of everyone arguing and I'm sick of this place. I don't want to be here anymore, not when it's like this."

"Charlotte-"

"Steve please, just leave it. I'll talk to you later but as for both of you, please stop with the arguing. It doesn't help anyone and it sure as hell isn't making me feel any better." Charlotte cried.

Before either of them could gather their thoughts Charlotte was gone in the other direction and she was headed straight for the exit. All she wanted to do was get off the helicarrier, it had been a stressful month and her anxiety was starting to build. She quickly headed downstairs towards the bay. Luckily the helicarrier was docked for supplies so now was the perfect opportunity for Charlotte to leave.

Within a few moments Charlotte was back on land and ready to get as far away as possible from the Avengers. She hadn't given this much thought and wasn't quite sure what to do or where to go. At the dock there was a motorcycle parked, Charlotte quickly jumped on and drove off down the street, she had no idea where she was but for her it was better than where she was before.

A few hours later after driving as fast as possible Charlotte found herself in downtown Los Angeles, she was exhausted. At the first hotel she pulled over and checked herself in. The only thought in her mind was Steve, over and over again she thought about how he would be worried sick. It hurt to leave him like that but she promised herself she would go back, only for him.

It had been a week since Charlotte had seen Loki and although that made her very happy she was also concerned that he was up to something. Loki was usually very strict with their meetings and was never late, however this was unusual. Charlotte knew the Avengers hadn't heard from him either so she was desperately trying to figure out what to do.

Although she knew Loki could contact her, she wasn't sure if she could contact him. As much as she hated talking to him maybe she could do something to help, something to persuade him to abandon his plans over taking over the world. Charlotte knew it wouldn't be easy but she wanted to at least try it.

After entering her hotel room Charlotte lay down on the bed and tried to contact Loki. She really had no idea what she was doing or how she was going to do it but she thought there must be some way. Her thoughts drew straight to Loki and what he might be doing, she thought of all the times he had contacted her and what they had spoke about. Anything related to Loki was racing through her mind and the more she concentrated the more realistic her thoughts became.

Suddenly she found herself in a deserted warehouse, there was nothing around her although in the distance she could hear someone mumbling. It was Loki. Charlotte ran across the room and pushed through the door, he was there and the look on his face was enough to let Charlotte know that what she had done was working.

"Charlotte. How ever did you-"

"Where are you?" Charlotte interrupted.

"That is none of your business."

"Loki please, I left the Avengers. I just want to speak with you, in person."

Loki shook his head in confusion and mumbled the location of his whereabouts, within seconds Charlotte was gone and he knew minutes later she would be there again. Loki had spent the past week trying to figure out another way to make Charlotte trust him, a way for him to use her again but there had been no good ideas so far. He was confused as to why Charlotte would want to come to him but he dare not question it, this was his chance to bring her onto his side and he didn't want to ruin it.

"Loki I need you to stop." Charlotte whispered from behind him.

"You are one of the few who can actually sneak up on me. Impressive." Loki grinned as he turned to face her.

"Look, I don't really have time for you're awkward talks or whatever it is we do but please Loki. Just call off this whole fighting thing."

"Now why would I do that?"

"Because I'm asking you to. No begging you to. You've caused enough pain already and nothing you do is going to help anyone, not even yourself. I just want this all to be over with, I don't want to deal with it anymore. I want everyone to just go home and go back to normal." Charlotte cried.

"And the Captain?"

"The Captain can go back to doing whatever he was doing, I have no say in that."

"And what do I get if I stop?" Loki questioned.

Charlotte hesitated for a second but she knew what answer she had to give, she knew there was only one possible way Loki might agree to calling it off.

"You can have me. If that's what you want Loki, you can have me but I want this all to stop. Now." Charlotte sighed.

Loki gasped in disbelief. He couldn't believe what Charlotte had offered and he wasn't quite sure what to say. His goal was to take over the world and he had worked so hard to make that happen. But this, this was too good of an offer to pass up.

"All I ask is that you control me." Charlotte said, interrupting Loki's train of thought. "I will be with you forever, under your control if you just promise to stop trying to take over the world. Oh and one other thing, if I do this. You leave the Avengers alone. All of them."

"You don't think I would just use you against them?" Loki asked.

"No. I trust you enough with this one. Plus if you put me near the Avengers they know how to bring me back and then I'll stay with them." Charlotte replied.

"I do not believe you are offering this."

"Well the offer is yours to take. So do we have a deal or not?"

Loki quickly grinned and moved himself closer to Charlotte.

"We have a deal, Charlie." Loki grinned enthusiastically.

"Please don't call me that, I'm not Charlie anymore."
